Anthony Johnston's URM Group are locked and loaded for the Rolex Sydney Hobart. With their expertly tuned sails and finely honed teamwork, this crew is ready to tackle one of the world’s most renowned offshore challenges. Fresh off their Bird Island Race line honours win, URM Group showed what they’re capable of. With a strong crew—including Anthony’s four brothers—the focus is on preparation, teamwork, and keeping things safe. Let’s see how they fare in the big one!

This was a great day. Meeting the amazing folks that hang around marinas. Boat people seem to be a different type. They’re helpful and sharing and friendly. Meeting David as he was headed out to drop some crab traps paid dividends when he came back later in the day and would not accept anything in exchange for his time collecting crabs. Two fresh crabs for dinner! Then, later in the day, we helped James and Betty load up their inflatable tender. Asking them if it was for sale and then how much they wanted for it…ended up being ours for free. We’ve been looking at hard-bottom tenders for a couple weeks, and the prices are ridiculous! We’re talking in the ballpark of $7k for new 3 metre hard-bottoms. So, this little boat is a truly appreciated gift. I am filled with gratitude right now.
This is a special short video for a blog post I wrote about how to build your own mast steps. I just love mine 'cause I can mount the mast easily even whilst Karl is sailing (if seas are not too rough, have not tried in two meters waves yet ;))!
