Get the Collector’s Edition of Be The Captain™ before it’s gone → https://bethecaptain.com Ever wondered why so many modern sailboats now have dual rudders? You might think it's about safety or redundancy—but there's actually a deeper story. This video reveals the real reasons behind the widespread adoption of dual rudders on cruising sailboats. We dive into the physics of sailing, explaining how wider hull shapes—driven by racing technology and market trends—have changed sailing dynamics, causing significant steering challenges offshore. Learn how rudder ventilation, weather helm, and the interaction between your sails and hull shape impact your boat’s performance, safety, and comfort at sea. We also hear directly from respected naval architect Matteo Polli, discuss real-world offshore sailing experiences, and clarify exactly what dual rudders can—and can't—do for you offshore. If you're considering buying or sailing a dual-rudder boat, this is a must-watch before heading offshore.

Get the Collector’s Edition of Be The Captain™ before it’s gone → https://bethecaptain.com This is what I learned the night our catamaran cracked open 100 miles offshore. It wasn’t a rogue wave. It wasn’t one bad call. It was a chain of decisions—some rushed, some careless, some just unlucky. And the truth is, the biggest problem was built into the boat from the start… we just didn’t know it. In this video, I break down what went wrong, the gear we had (and didn’t), the timing we messed up, and the storm planning we should’ve done before we ever left French Polynesia.
