Aged nine, with her father and brother, she built a flat pack Heron dinghy and spent the next six years sailing and racing her off the beach at Worthing, the town where she was born. The challenge and pleasure of sailing has been a perennial thread running through the six decades of her life since then.Although she started sailing big boats in her twenties, the charm and immediacy of dinghy sailing is as dear to her today as it was back then, and with her husband, Rob, she still sails the dinghy she helped build all those years ago.At eighteen she embarked on her first voyage with the Sail Training Association (STA), and many years later became a watch leader for the renamed Tall Ships Youth Trust (TSYT), a volunteer role she undertook for a decade.While raising her daughter, Emily, by herself, Barbara graduated with an Open University Arts Degree and qualified as a middle school teacher, before transitioning to a self-employed driving instructor, allowing her to take long periods off work to go big ship sailing.In 2015 Barbara and Rob retired and having spent the two previous years planning their circumnavigation on Zoonie, their 40-foot Oyster 406, they were both ready to set off. The first half of this six-year voyage is documented in A Tale of Two Yachts, her debut book, published in 2022. Her follow up, Zoonie Sails Home, details the second half of their remarkable journey. Now back on solid ground, Barbara and Rob live in Dorset, South West England. They look forward to more exploration aboard Zoonie over the next year before they plan to sell her after fifteen years of shared adventure.Barbara has a sailing blog, skipperbarbwhite.com, and she has written travel pieces for the likes of Yachting Monthly, Yachting World, Sailing Today and Practical Boat Owner.ver menos
