Welcome to the Web site of Mina²

Mina² is a cutter-rigged Oyster 485 owned by Tim Barker of London, England. Built in 1997 by Windboats Marine in Norwich on the east coast of England, she was bought by Tim in March 2003. Since then she has cruised in to the Arctic Circle to the Lofoten Islands at the top of Norway, round the Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean as far as Turkey, across the Atlantic and down the coast of South America, heading for the icy deep south.  "Mina" is Argentine slang for an attractive and curvaceous temptress. This web site includes the logs of her voyages to date.
