Hello I'm afraid we don't have Jumble any longer -it was falling apart and we gave it away to a boat repair enthusiast. Maybe one day it will be ready for more sailing. We will try to write another book. Thanks for your interest! Kingsley

Read your book and didnt pay attention to the reference to Bumble Bee at end of the book but saw the videos here and just put the two together. Nice boat, do you still have Jumble? How about another book? They take as long as to build a boat!

Great video
Bumble Bee Voyage across the Atlantic part 1 This is Part 1 of a short video chronicling the voyage of our boat Bumble Bee across the Atlantic in Jan 2012. Bumble Bee is a mostly homebuilt Wharram catamaran completed in about 2005 (by us). Our first boat was a smaller Wharram cat called Jumble which we managed to sail from the UK to France and you can read about those efforts in "Attempted Escape from Western Civilization" downloadable onto Kindle (http://www.amazon.com/Attempted-Escape-Western-Civilization-ebook/dp/B005MK2WP4), or hardcopy from www.lulu.com or amazon. But we wanted more than sailing the English Channel, we wanted the World! Or at least the Atlantic. We realized this dream in Bumble Bee in 2012 about 25 years after first hatching the plan T. Cox K.
