#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.

The new BTC-22 Mark 2 is a British built performance trailer sailer which has been designed around the needs of single handed, family and racing sailers alike. Boasting a resin infused hull for a high degree of ‘stiffness’ at a low weight the BTC-22 also offers a powerful rig, a large open cockpit, coupled with a contemporary hull shape, long water line and twin rudders. So, the BTC-22 is sure to please the sporty sailor whether single handed or with a full racing crew. The deck plan uses modern high spec trimming systems, making for an efficient sailing experience with maximum enjoyment. There is plenty of storage above deck with two cockpit seat lockers and one large locker under the cockpit sole, big enough to take an outboard motor and lots besides. Two versions of this Buckley pocket cruiser are available – both the cruising version (BTC-22) and the performance version (BTS-22) have resin infused hulls and and are fitted with a lifting bulb keel but the superlight BTS-22 is made largely of carbon and boasts even more sail area. Both versions are compact and light enough to be trailerable. The BTC22 is a fun family boat too with plenty of room below deck. In the large airy cabin the BTC22 has 4 berths – one generous, 2 metre V berth and two giant settee berths measuring 2.5 metres each. Add a galley unit, a removable dining table and space below the V berth for a removable chemical toilet and you have all the components needed for comfortable overnight stays. This film was taken in light winds during a demonstration event at Rutland Water in the UK in July 2022. See more details here: https://boatsonwheels.com/boats/btc-22-with-trailer/
