While Sir Francis Chichester’s legacy is celebrated in the continued patronage of Gipsy Moth IV, the continued sailing of Gipsy Moth IV has created a legacy of her own.
The Gipsy Moth IV legacy continues to build with each contact and lesson she provides us concerning the value and necessity of being resilient and overcoming adversity.
Through her ability to spark the spirit of adventure in children’s imaginations and showing adults how internal purpose gives one meaning, the Gipsy Moth IV legacy expands not only with each ocean race that is sailed or with each new yacht design that is created but with each experience she provides all those who come on board and, or who come to know her life story.
