A GoFund Me Campaign to Keep Triteia Sailing by Victoria Paul Hello Friends, The Video I had hoped to never need to make. In this video I talk about how I have found myself at a dead end of sorts with no path forward on my own. Victoria, Sarah and my Patrons convinced me to start a GoFund Me campaign to make it possible to keep sailing and not have to take a year off. I need $6500 to keep sailing otherwise I will put Triteia on the hard for a year and go find work. https://www.gofundme.com/f/keep-sv-triteia-sailing-with-james Here is the text Victoria wrote for the campaign: Since 2017, solo sailor James Frederick has built a following and a community around documenting and sharing his trials and triumphs at sea (and in the boatyard) aboard his 1965 Alberg 30 sloop, SV Triteia. As many of those reading might already know, he's currently in Thailand - about midway through his solo circumnavigation. Though many supporters have offered in the past, James never imagined accepting outside funds to sustain his circumnavigation. That said, the realities of putting 18,000 miles under the keel of a 61-year-old vessel have come into clearer focus after a planned haul out and (partial) refit was completed in December 2025. A full breakdown is provided below, but the bottom line is that James and Triteia are facing critical equipment failures that need to be addressed before continuing on to the Indian Ocean. He could stop, tuck Triteia in somewhere safe for a year, go home to make some money, then come back in 2027 and pick up where he left off. OR - at the urging of those close to him and his incredible crew of followers - he could allow those who have found some value in his work over the years the opportunity to come together and contribute towards the continued journey. From the early days of refitting Triteia paycheck to paycheck, to casting off the lines in Los Angeles in 2021, to navigating picturesque atolls, or making field fixes in remote places, James has always readily shared his thinking, process, discoveries, challenges, and wins. He has released nearly 600 videos over the last 8+ years and has always made all of them available (for free) to the public. All Funds raised go directly to James Frederick to fund the equipment listed below, and the related costs of install. Let's help James pay this round of “Adventure Tax” and keep him sailing safely around the world. - Victoria, Sarah, The Good Ship Triteia and James . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Fundraising Details: With the confirmed total loss of the inboard engine, discovery that the rudder needs to be rebuilt, and need for a new rigid-bottom inflatable dinghy, the total costs to continue on this year are as follows: Sponsored: Haul out in Krabi / late January 2026 ($1200 - sponsored by Port Takola Yacht Marina) Stainless steel + fabrication costs for new rudder parts ($2000 - sponsored by Rolly Tasker) Still need to fund: Marine ply, fiberglass materials, gel coat, primer, and bottom paint for new rudder (approx. $1200 from East Marine - James will do the labor) Hypalon dinghy ($3000 - Highfield) Ultra long shaft 6hp outboard ($2000 - Tohatsu) New outboard motor mount for Triteia's transom ($300 - from East Marine) Thank you sincerely for reading, for whatever contributions you're able to make, and to everyone who already supports by watching James' channel or being a Patreon.

I hope to see everyone in the upcoming John Kretschmer's Captain's Hour! Here is the info from his email about the zoom meeting. "The last Captain’s Hour of 2025 is this Tuesday, December 30 at 1900 EST. It’s going to be an interesting one as we discuss the many refits, modifications and serious gear choices we’ve made in nearly a quarter century of sailing. I will discuss the good decisions, and the not so good decisions I’ve made, and gear that’s worked well, and some that hasn’t. I will also describe the current refit taking place right now as we prepare for another busy season. When we reached Opua New Zealand last October, we completed our 200th training passage. I finally put numbers to paper, doing my best to figure out how many miles Quetzal and I have sailed together and it’s a bit crazy. My best guess is that it’s somewhere between 220,000 - 240,000 nm, a lot of miles and a hell of a test laboratory. When I think back to our first passage to Bermuda in May 2003 and compare that boat to the one that sailed into Opua, I am reminded of the fable of Theseus' ship, or sometimes called Theseus paradox. Theseus was the mythical kind of Athens who saved the city by slaying the Minotaur and escaped to Delos on a ship. The ship, or at least a version of it, was ceremonially sailed from Athens to Delos once a year but like all boats, needed constant maintenance. After many years, Aristotle was reputed to have asked, “is it still Theseus’ ship if it has all new wood and fittings?” Well, I am here to tell you that Quetzal may have a relaminated hull, a hard dodger, a furling staysail, new engine, and no teak decks but she is the same Quetzal, still soaring across the oceans of the world in style and escorting those of us luckily enough to sail her to a magical place. With that said, please consider joining Captain's Hour and becoming an annual subscriber. As always, there will be plenty of time for your questions. You are welcome to send them in by email ahead of time. If you are already subscribed to Captain's Hour, you will automatically receive the link to join. If you are new to Captain's Hour, you can join for one session ($25) or an annual subscription ($200), just send an email to jrkretschmer@gmail.com All sessions are recorded, so if you can't join live or you can't join for the entire session, then you will be able to watch the recording.

This is a 360 video so if you are watching on your phone you can move move your phone around - Left / Right / Up / Down to see the entire surroundings of the Anchorage and of me hauling up the anchor. If you are watching this on a computer you can use the mouse on the screen to pan around 360 degrees to see everything I was seeing. This was filmed in 4k but I have since learned I need to be filming in 5.7k to make the quality of the 360 video better, so this is more of just a test that I thought I would share.

Episode 447 : How to do Domestic Clearance in Malaysia and A Marina Tour. Hello Friends, On this episode I take you on a tour of the overpriced Pangkor Marina & Boatyard in Malaysia. The days of finding cheap facilities and labor in Southeast Asia for boats is long behind us, but this place is really absurd at what they care charging vs. what they offer.

Buy a Ticket here 👉🏻 https://svtriteia.bigcartel.com/product/going-cruising-a-zoom-class-on-making-the-dream-a-reality Sunday, November 9th @ 4pm Pacific Time This 2+ hour class will demystify the process of leaving land life behind, either short term or forever, and help you understand what steps you need to take to go from dreaming about seeing the world by sail to actually making it your life. The class will consist of three main sections, followed by an open ended Q&A. 1. Untying the Lines – This section will cover what it takes to conquer the hardest step in the cruising life, leaving land life behind. I will talk about what you should look for in a boat (as well as what you shouldn't). We will also discuss short and long term considerations in regards to the cruising life. 2. Going Cruising – Next, we will talk about the first year of cruising, how to pick your cruising ground, how the seasons and bureaucracy decide how long you can stay in one place, how you might fund the life, and what you can expect in the first few years. I will talk about clearing into and out of countries, how to get money, interacting with officials and the public and saying YES to new adventures. 3. The Long Wake – Finally, we will look further into the future and I will talk about things I have learned after 4 years of full-time cruising and living aboard. From pushing 6,000 miles in a single year to gear failures, I'll share what I've learned about the stress of cruising in remote places, battling burnout, and how to mitigate it. I will talk about setting up realistic goals for a single sailing season as well as setting up Plans A, B, and C, so if things happen that are beyond your control you will already have a basic backup plan in place. The last portion of the class will be an open-ended Q&A where everyone will have a chance to ask questions, and we can discuss the subjects we covered. We can also dive-deep into the details of any questions you might have that I did not address. This class will be formatted the same way my Anchoring Zoom Class was formatted back in 2024, complete with slides and videos during each segment and a downloadable PDF packed with information from the class and links to make planning your cruising life easier. Each participant will also receive a link a few days after the class that allows them to rewatch the recording of the class as many times as they wish. I will be conducting this Going Cruising Class from onboard Triteia in Malaysia, but the timing will align with Sunday afternoon/evening in the USA, since 50% of my followers are Americans.
