Footloose

Sailing solo around the world

To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key.

Call it a passion or a dream. Sailing around the world Solo! With my 53 foot long cutter Footloose do I sail around the world single handed. I like to share my adventures by making short video's. Maintaining a big sailboat, sail the world and edit video's might be a fulltime job but I love it! I hope that you will enjoy being a virtual crew on Footloose!
