- Annie Hill
Annie Hill (born 1955 in
Liverpool ) is an English sailor, author of books and articles about sailboat voyaging, living on a small amount of money and sailing junk rig.Annie Hill has been voyaging and living aboard various sailing yachts since 1975. Her book "Voyaging on a Small Income" is a study in the economics of continual travel and self sufficiency. Hill writes using distinct British vernacular and colloquialisms.
Her first two books concerned voyaging aboard "Badger", a 34 foot double-ended dory with a two-masted junk rig of the
schooner style, which was built by Annie and her former husband, Pete Hill. Badger was designed byJay Benford forplywood construction . Annie's analysis and comparison of the modern junk rig is at least partly responsible for the recent re-popularization of the junk rig.Annie Hill now sails aboard "Iron Bark", a steel gaff cutter. She is divorced from her former husband, Pete, and travels and lives with Trevor Robertson. She has recently spent the winter on 'Iron Bark' frozen in a remote bay in Greenland.
