Keith White (yachtsman)

Keith White (born 1950) is a British yachtsman known for his solo sailing achievements, particularly in small boats. He is a prominent figure in the micro-yachting community and has completed several notable voyages in vessels significantly smaller than those typically used for long-distance sailing.

White gained recognition for his single-handed voyages across the Atlantic Ocean and around Great Britain in yachts such as his 21-foot Hurley 22, "Minstrel." His journeys are often characterized by their minimalist approach, relying on traditional navigation techniques and limited technology. He documents his voyages through books and articles, inspiring other small-boat sailors and promoting accessible offshore sailing.

He is a strong advocate for the safety of small-boat sailing and frequently lectures and provides advice to those interested in undertaking similar voyages. His practical experience and emphasis on preparation and seamanship have made him a respected voice within the sailing community.
