Welcome aboard our family-friendly adventure! We are a family of five sailing around the world on our "dream boat," a performance cruising catamaran named "Archer!" Twelve years ago, before kids, we sailed a Lagoon 380 named "Honeymoon" halfway around the world from the East Coast of the US to Sydney, Australia. Along the way we shared our experiences with family and by happenstance created one of the first "sailing channels" on YouTube. But more than anything, we realized what an incredible experience that first trip was and that someday we wanted to do it again, only this time with our kids. We want to share with them the importance of taking time to be with family. To show them a world outside of the one they grew up in. We want them to appreciate how lucky we are to experience the natural beauty of this world. But mostly we want to spend time with our kids during these formative years and create lasting memories as a family. That's why we are "The Sailing Family!"

Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew In this clip from our Solent RYA Competent Crew Course, you see us stopping for lunch. We bring the boat to a stop by heaving to. This is where we tack the boat but don't touch the sheet, so the headsail lies 'aback'. Once we have the wind on the main driving us forward, and the wind on the headsail pushing us back, and with the helm turned towards the wind, the boat will come to a stop. The boat will level up and be in balance. ** About the RYA Competent Crew course in Southampton ** The RYA Competent Crew course is the perfect introduction for beginners who want to get into sailing and is specifically designed for those with little to no sailing experience. It is the ideal starting point.

We run our courses from Southampton, and they take place in and around the Solent. With First Class Sailing you’ll gain hands-on experience, experience life on board, and all the enjoyment it brings.

We also offer shore-based sailing courses in London and Southampton. Attaching the Boat to the Dock ➜ https://youtu.be/SgqVE0j132M In this short clip you see us run lines. Notice how rope becomes lines running from cleats on board to cleats on the shore. When we do this, these lines become mooring warps: one to attached the bow to the shore, one for the stern, and two to keep the boat in one place to stop it moving. Sailing Courses for Beginners ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/sailing-courses-for-beginners Starting out in sailing is exciting, but deciding where to begin can feel like a challenge. Should you get out on the water with a practical course or start with navigation theory in the classroom? Our beginner sailing courses - Competent Crew and Day Skipper Shore-based - are designed to help you take your first steps, whatever your goals or the time of year. ** Credits ** Voice: Duncan Wells Filming: Nick Watts
Was it a mistake to leave behind our land life? We don’t think so! For the past 18 months, we've been living full-time on our 42-ft sailboat, embracing an off-grid, slow travel lifestyle. We've met hundreds of incredible people around the world who’ve chosen a similar alternate path—and we’re here to share what it's really like. Through The Reeva Project, we’re documenting our sailing journey as an Indian family at sea—hoping to inspire more Indians to consider life beyond the land. 🌊 Subscribe to follow our adventures: Indian family sailing , ocean living, and the ups and downs of this wild, beautiful lifestyle. #sailinglife #indianfamily #liveaboard #offgridliving #lifeatsea #slowtravel #sailingindia #thereevaproject #worldschooling #sailingadventures
