The memorial is south facing and looks out over the mouth of Aberaeron Harbour.

The plaque reads:-

In Memory
of
David Sinnett-Jones
1930-2004

A distinguished yachtsman, having survived cancer with the loss of a
lung and part of his heart in his forties, took up the challenge of ocean
sailing. From this harbour he sailed first to South Africa in a 26 foot
boat, followed by a single handed voyage around the world in his self-
built 'Zane Spray', becoming the first disabled single-handed Cape
Horner. For his final voyage in 1999 he built a replica of the 'Liberdade'
Used by his hero, Joshya Slocum, one hundred years earlier and
re-enacted his voyage from Paranagua in Brazil to New York.

A great hearted man with astonishing determination and courage
