I’m just starting out on my own sailing journey when I discovered your channel via your Cape Horn video - inspirational. Fabulous sailing. I’m looking forward to watching your back-library and new videos. Best of luck to the three of you

Brilliant!! outstanding presentation an clinic on tacking a performance cruiser. Then the silent tute on rigging head an staysail together. wow. Lv the scene at 10:40 sitting down to a snack, over your shoulder is a mountain filling the wind screen!! I was instantly hooked on this channel when I realized a couple of racers rigged a staysail on a J46 for passage making. Totally thrilled to find tons of top shelf coaching.

Sometimes it can be hard to talk about yourself, especially for natural introverts like us. We aren't used to this sort of attention.

This makes us...
If you follow our YouTube channel, you have probably noticed that our primary #2 jib (a 130% genoa) was starting to look pretty bad. It was delaminated and figuratively hanging in there by a thread. You could see the sunlight through the stitching, and poke your...

Like many others, we searched for this information before we started cruising. We get asked this question a lot, both online and on the dock, from new cruisers to seasoned vets. Everyone wants to know: is a wind generator on a sailboat is worth the...
What is the best navigation or chart plotter solution for sailboat cruising? Is an iPad with Navionics good enough for bluewater sailing? Are there such things as free charts? What is the best low-cost navigation system? These and other similar questions many ask when beginning to...
OFF THE GRID ON A BOAT We are not dock people. We like to be offshore, moving and sailing with the wind and the waves. Many times though we must sit at anchor to shelter from storms or wait for wind and tide windows for safe passages. At...
We first noticed that our autopilot wasn’t up to the challenge of big winds and big waves on our trip from the Bahamas to St. Thomas. We took off to make the non-stop 700+ mile trip on a January nor’easter to make a downwind dash. We...
7. Software Updates This may sound silly as the first item on the list, but our navigation, comms, and instrument software is vital to our safety. B&Gs software update to the Zues3 MFD and NAC3 autopilot had some important changes. The one we enjoyed the most was...
Luckily we have only had to deal with this issue once aboard SV Sweet Ruca. We sucked up some Sargassum weed in the Bahamas. The problem was caught quickly as we showed a slightly above normal temperature reading. Having had this happen on other boats...
