Talk:Single-handed sailing

message: This article is marked as a stub because I feel it's a long way from done.  Please feel free to pitch in!  What's to do:
* other (non-around-the-world) notable voyages
* information on the Vendee, Around Alone, and other non-around-the-world races (OSTAR, New Man STAR, Route du Rhum, etc.)
* some summary of rules (no assistance, no powered winches, no engines, etc. — it's amazing how many people think modern sailors have it easy because it's all pushing buttons)
* references
* In hazards, perhaps someone could discuss the psychological impacts of sailing single-handed e.g. hallucinations  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.144.12.76 (talk) 23:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Adrian Flanagan of Ludgershall Buckinghamshire has just completed the first leg of his attempt to sail the first ever vertical single-handed circumnavigation of the globe via the Russian Arctic.  He set off from Hamble Point Marina on the 28th October 2005 on board yacht Barrabas.  He has travelled over 26,000 miles, become one of very few yachtsmen to conquer Cape Horn westabout and sailed the first recorded UK to Hawaii non-stop and unsupported.  His boat is now wintering in Nome Alaska where he returns in June 2007 to resume the Arctic phase of his epic voyage.  
Full details of the Alpha Global Expedition can be found at www.alphaglobalex.com
:This was because of a phone call from Louise Flanagan this morning. I said the best thing to do would be for her to put a note here for someone to chase up. Am initial news report is here. Someone familiar with the article should update it accordingly - David Gerard 10:30, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

message: You learn something new every day! Florence Arthaud redirects here, thanks to her being the first woman to win a single-handed ocean race. However, I was looking for information on her relating to her singing the beautiful French duet "Flo", about her sailing, with Pierre Bachelet in 1989. Eauhomme (talk) 04:19, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Can you say more about how single-handers manage food, repairs, psychology and other challenges?

:Flying Pennant Numeral 1 from the back stay
:While there is no clear guideline regarding signage to indicate a boat is sailing under command of a single handed sailor flying the ICS Pennant Numeral 1 from the backstay has been practiced and advocated by some sailors. As the use of Pennant Numeral 1, a white pennant with a big red dot in the middle much resembling the flag of Japan, for this purpose is not (yet) widely spread and even often confined more to certain geographical areas (Baltic,...) the use of it has been questioned although the general consensus is that any signage that can increase safety at sea is to be supported. (Ref was: "Pennant No 1 and Single Handers" - http://www.ybw.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-419706.html)
-------
My edit note says: deleted edit on No1 pennant, which said that an unknown number of people are doing a thing, somewhere, while another unknown group are talking about it; and the sole Ref was a discussion by half a dozen people on a community chat board. Copied to Talk if further discussion desired.
I don't know that I can add much to that. If it is in fact a common practice, even if only in geographically limited area, AND there are WP:RS to support that, then by all means re-instate it with those Refs. But "some people" and an internet discussion board as a sole Ref just doesn't ... float my boat, so to speak. Wayne 11:28, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
