Roger Lives near New Bern, North Carolina USA, and has been messing about on sailboats for nearly half a century as a professional captain, charterer, restorer, sailing instructor and happy imbiber – on a lot of boats.

He has just completed a restoration and modification of a once run-down 50’ foot (15m) ketch. This included converting the rig from a ketch to a brigantine schooner, with a rollaway square sail on the foremast, along with many more innovations and inventions.
