Great entertaining video. For us that live in the South Pacific (Fiji) I would have appreciated reference to a chart to show the passages, plus I would have loved to know more details about the boat, the engine, genset, galley etc etc. But how I wish to do a trip like that. Its on the Bucket List. Thanks for sharing.
Morning Neil, Thank you for your very kind comments. Go to www.boataroundbritain.co.uk for additional information. I can tell on the Rhea 850 there is no genset!!
Well done gentlemen; a great trip with a noble cause. I'm a cloth and stick sea dog so was interested to see things from a power position. The Scottish west coast are my favourite waters but the southwest coast and the Irish sea all have great appeal. Regards, Rob. 👏👏👏
An excellent video and trip Gentlemen! Very much hope to move my Merry Fisher permanently down to Gosport in the Spring, and look forward to bumping in to you. Thanks for sharing the true spirit of boating.
What a great video, if l had to give it stars, l would give it 5 stars p s what a nice boat you have, keep it up to date & you will have a lot of pleasure from it ,. Keep safe.
Good entertaining and informative video. Nice boat too. I hadn't heard of Rhea boats before this so I will check them out. Having been on a few boats I now know I prefer a boat like this with a hard top and cockpit doors to keep out the elements. I like an open sports boat too but we rarely get the weather to enjoy them in the UK. Phil's idea on the website about getting the biggest boat he could afford was I think the right one:-) Good stuff guys:-)
Actually Kevin I found this reply from a year ago which more accurately answered the question. 5337 litres, 42lph, £5,558, £1.04 per lire, engine(s) run time 127 hours, Average speed 14 knots, 1717nm hope that answers your questions. Very best Phil Davies

Hi …. Something I’ve always wanted to do myself
What was the fuel costs please
About £5600 at an average of £1.14 per litre

Hi, Interesting video but spoilt by the intrusive loud music. Would have enjoyed more detail about your boat. Well done for effort though
Thank you and sorry about the music. Merry Christmas.
Royal Norfolk & Suffolk Yact Club - visited once, never again, very snooty & unfriendly. Royal Knobs & Snobs...
We found them helpful and Ok but we didn't eat there. It's a great transit marina however. Phil
Some maps about your sail would be helpful....
Hi Thomas, a website link to 'passage plan' above, it was our initial plan which was amended on route for weather and other reasons. Phil
Would love to know the fuel cost for this trip if possible!?

@@philipdavies935 Hi Phil,
I was also wondering what the costs were.
Thank you for such a comprehensive answer 👍👍😁
Nigel, just out of interest, was your father a dentist in Chichester ?
Hi Gerald, Indeed my father Peter and my Uncle John were dentists in Chichester. Nigel
