We sailed across the Atlantic to the Azores in June 2019 and after one month of exploring a couple of the islands, we left Jingo in the safe hands of the marina and returned to work for a little while. I was based in Limerick for the next two years and Mattis worked on a fantastic restoration project in Japan. The boat was called 'Cynara', a 96ft classic wooden sailing yacht built in 1927. About Cynara and the restoration project.... - The Project - The Team - Classic Yacht Info - Cynara - Riviera Group - Camper and Nicholsons website  Mattis was in Japan when COVID-19 began and lived about 30 minutes away from the cruise ship 'Diamond Princess' that had the hundreds of passengers who potentially had the virus. This happened around January of 2020, which was a hugely worrying time as the world entered a pandemic. Below are some photos from when Mattis worked on the project...
