People and background
Boats and projects
The boats below are part of the channel’s earlier story; ownership and equipment may have changed since those episodes.
Boat details
Captain Scarlegs has a 1994 Radford 14 racing yacht designed by Graham Radform and built by Nick Edmunds.
Refits and equipment
He was upgrading his yacht and its electronics, hence why he hasn’t been on Youtube for some time. He is also enjoying his time away from the camera
Journeys and notable episodes
Places in the story
These locations refer to earlier episodes, not a live position.
He lives in Fiji and this is where the boat is based. Previously he lived in Australia and this is where he bought his boat.
Earlier sailing journeys
He has sailed competitively in numerous places and most of his sailing has been in the South Pacific.
Collaborations
I haven’t seen him on any other YouTube channels. Additionally, he is very unique and I haven’t found other channels that are similar.
Notable episodes
His biggest experience was sailing his dream yacht back home…all by himself! And of course, surviving a Tsunami.
He also dislocated his shoulder once after falling off a pontoon.

Is there a verified net-worth figure?
No verified financial disclosure is cited in this profile. The earlier estimate has been removed because a boat’s value, video views and assumed income do not establish someone’s net worth.
