He had a full sailing rig and was doing the dinghy sailing thing of hanging over the side deck getting very wet.
His epic voyage is captured in a short film.

The blog records the voyages of PicoMicroYacht, a seaworthy small sailing dinghy converted for rowing long distances. This includes the 26th July 2012 crossing of the English Channel, as well as rowing along the south coast of England, down the river Thames, around London and across Ireland. PicoMicroYacht is a converted Laser Pico Sailing Dinghy, with a sliding seat, riggers and cleaver oars, fitted with a shortened main mast and a mizzen mast and can be set up as a reduced rig sailing boat.

A Pico crosses the channel again but this time without oars
PicoMicroYacht crossed the English Channel in 2012 but not as impressively as Dave Birch did recently, sailing his Pico dinghy from Guernsey to Torquay, a total of 73 miles in just over 14 hours in force 3 to 5 winds and with NO OARS.
He had a full sailing rig and was doing the dinghy sailing thing of hanging over the side deck getting very wet.
