About Four Afloat: A Family Liveaboard Sailing Blog

We’re Chloe, Ric and our two kids, and in May 2027 we’re swapping our house in Yorkshire for life aboard our sailing yacht, Cladoch Mor. Four Afloat is where we share the whole journey, from the good days to the not-so-good ones, as we learn to live, work and grow up at sea.

We’re an ordinary UK family, not professional sailors. Ric has run a school teaching people to fly paramotors, so he’s happiest when he’s either in the air or on the water. Chloe is a primary teacher, which comes in very handy now that she’s in charge of boat-schooling. Our two kids are the real crew, and they’re already hooked on boat life.

The plan
Summer 2027: cruising the west coast of Scotland and the islands
August 2027: through the Caledonian Canal to the east coast
Winter 2027/28: living aboard in a UK marina
Then: further afield, with the Mediterranean firmly on the wish list
