Magic Roundabout

Alice Sowerby, sister of the late Tom Sowerby, has gifted the use of his Sweden Yacht 340, Magic Roundabout, to OceansWatch. Tom, who was only 23 when he died, loved the sea and the cruising life and was a skilled yachtsman and diver. His death in a free diving accident in Bora Bora last year was a shock to all who knew him.

Tom was en route to New Zealand where he planned to study and work for a year before continuing his circumnavigation. Magic Roundabout was sailed on to New Zealand by Pacific Yacht Deliveries

It was Tom’s love of the ocean and growing concern about the marine environment that led Alice to donate the long term use of his yacht to OceansWatch. Alice feels it appropriate to Tom’s memory that Magic Roundabout will now participate in OceansWatch’s marine conservation activities as well as its humanitarian projects with coastal communities in developing countries.

In her first two year as an OceansWatch project lead yacht Magic Roundabout covered 15,000 nm. Visiting Vanuatu,the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and Australia. The 2010 project season is now underway. Read Magic Roundabout's Blog.
