On Friday, Heather Thomas broke another record. She finished sailing around the world as the skipper for Team Scotland in the Clipper Race. Thomas and First Mate Millie Apperley are the first female leadership duo to get on a Clipper podium. Overall, Team Scotland finished in third, with 96 points. We caught up with Heather right after the Parade of Sail into Portsmouth on Saturday. The parade celebrated ending the approximately 40,000 nautical mile journey around the world. Here's how Heather felt. 🎥: Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images/Jenny Jasper/ Sky News/Film Image Partner ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Yachting World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/user/yachtingworld?sub_confirmation=1 ► For the latest reviews, new gear launches and tour news, visit our website: http://www.yachtingworld.com ► Like us on Facebook here - https://www.facebook.com/yachtingworldmagazine ► Follow us on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/yachtingworld ► Feel free to comment below! ► Remember to hit that LIKE button if you enjoyed it :)

The Stevedore's knot is a powerful stopper knot, like a super-charged Figure of Eight knot. 🔸 Make an overhand loop like you would in the figure-of-eight. Bring the working end round a couple of times instead of one (or just twist the loop) and tuck it through the original loop. Tighten Voilà! Easy! And even stronger than the Figure-of-Eight on video 2, although that is quicker to tie (just) if you are in a rush. 🔸 🔸 🔸 #sailing #multihulls #catamarans #knots #ropes #learnknots #learntosail #katschool #knot #rope #lovesailing #sailinglife #katamarans #stopperknot #katknots

We took Arabella to Boca Grande for a week to get some boat work done...but we had to spend some time adventuring, too. We paddle boarded over to Three Sisters Island, took Victoria out sailing (after repairing her transom), wandered around the "Old Florida" back roads, had lunch at the Pink Flamingo, and tried all the tasty treats! Even Akiva got to devour a "pup cup" from the local food truck... Want more? Watch the full episode - https://youtu.be/2S-qo288Nx8 -------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva. -------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat supports A2A!
