Ready to take your 22-40ft. sailboat out for the first time? In this episode of the Captain's Salon, we break down the basics of sailing, terms & concepts every beginner needs to confidently navigate lakes and bays. Buying a sailboat is the first step, but gaining the confidence to leave the dock is where the real journey begins. Join me in my salon as I pull from three essential sailing books to glean the best "sailing speak" and turn it into plain English. Whether you're on a Texas lake, reservoir, or a coastal bay, mastering terms like Port, Starboard, Tack or Jibe is your foundation for safety and fun while your sailing on the water. #SailingForBeginners #LearningToSail #NewBoatOwner #Sailing101 #HowToSail #cruisinglife #sailingtips #smallboatsailing #lakesailing #baysailing #coastalsailing
I've started the 2nd prototype wheelhouse extension (and dismantled the first). We had proved the concept but wanted the central fixed part a little narrower. The goals are a full cockpit enclosure AND moving the mainsheet from the top of the aft cabin to above the wheelhouse (better safety and a better sheeting angle). We also refitted the timber trim on the port side complete with the front zip for the first removable window section. We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters.

When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).
