#boatlife #sailing #sailingonabudget #cruising #offshoresailing #boatmaintenance It’s always such a pity to throw away sailing rope, it’s so damn expensive- surely there is something we can do with it ? The answer is yes and this episode I show how you can make something that will save a few bucks, make the boat look nicer and help develop some seamanship skills. For the free (and legal!) copy of the awesome ‘Ashley Book of Knots’ - follow this link https://ia601904.us.archive.org/35/items/TheAshleyBookOfKnots/the%20ashley%20book%20of%20knots.pdf If you want to sail with me there are places available, for example check out our Atlantic Voyager event at: https://www.spartanoceanracing.com/atlantic-voyager-september-2022/ If you would like to develop your sailing skills further with the exclusive seamanship training videos at: https://www.patreon.com/themariner If you would like to listen to 'The Mariner' podcast covering all aspects of sailing & yacht ownership go to: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-mariner/id1502504465 Or if you just want to listen to sailing books being read whilst you sand, clean and paint check out 'Rare Nautical Reads' https://rarenauticalreads.podbean.com

In August 2021 I plan to sail solo, non-stop, unassisted around the world from Ireland back to Ireland via the 5 great capes, I will be using a sextant and paper charts as my primary navigation tools.  If I am successful, I will be the first Irish person to complete a solo non-stop circumnavigation of the world. I estimate the trip will take approximately 8 months nonstop. My yacht Waxwing is a Rival 41. The entire trip will be recorded and documented from start to finish. From preparation of Waxing to upgrades, fitting new equipment, sea trials and then the trip itself. I have been working non-stop on this project for two years. Preparing waxwing for the circumnavigation. I have waxwing almost ready and will be showing you all of my updates on my channel. ​ I will also have a live tracker for people to follow my position and progress live, this will be available to view as soon as I set sail. https://www.peterlawlesssolocircumnavigation.com/
