Welcome: I’m Roger Hughes and this is my schooner Britannia. I am a professional writer and there are nearly 100 publshed articles showing all the features of Britannia, along with many related stories, from new splices to a children’s bedtime sailing story.  Nearly all have been published in various magazines in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Britannia is a brigantine schooner with three double cabins; fully air conditioned throughout and with many unique features lke a hot-tub in the aft cabin bathroom; a modern galley with a dishwasher; two electric heads and powerful showers, etc. All five sails, including the squaresail are roller-furled from the safety of the cockpit. She has a 45 mile radar, an eight man liferaft and a lage generator that runs the whole ship at sea, and many other unique features worth exploring here.

I am two years a widower and now hoping to meet a lady to share the rest of the journey, including but not limited to sailing.

Sincerly: ROGER.
