Solo Sailor Jazz Turner Successfully Completes Unassisted Circumnavigation of British Isles

Jazz Turner, a name synonymous with daring and audacity, has successfully concluded her breathtaking circumnavigation of the British Isles & Ireland, undertaking this epic journey alone and unaided. This marked the realization of ‘Project FEAR’, a daring venture that challenged the limits of sailing and self-endurance.

Solo sailing is not for the faint-hearted. It demands physical prowess, mental fortitude, and technical expertise in equal measures. Jazz has demonstrated all this and more as she undertook this heroic journey all by herself.

This awe-inspiring adventure took her around the rugged coasts, across tempestuous waters and through spectacular scenery. It was a voyage of discovery that revealed not just the unparalleled beauty of the British Isles, but also the indomitable spirit of a woman who dared to sail alone.
