This top-value definitive stamp from the same nautical legacy series bridges ancient maritime lore with modern solo navigation by honoring Sir Francis Chichester and his historic ketch, the Gipsy Moth IV (Sir Francis Chichester · Gipsy Moth IV). The minimalist, sage-green design features a crisp illustration of the modern yacht sailing solitary waters, marked at the top left with the bold orange numeral "142" to denote the epic number of days spent on his solo circumnavigation. The right-hand vertical segment centers an elegant compass rose motif over a muted slate-grey panel.
