Annie Hill

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 by Jay Benford for plywood 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.
