Hurricane season is when many liveaboard cruisers in the Caribbean haul out and store their boats on land, and with plenty of work still to do, we decided to do the same. We chose Peake Yacht Services in Trinidad, where their 150 ton travel lift handled our 45ft Leopard Catamaran with ease. The team was professional, efficient, and made the whole process smooth - thanks guys! ______________________________________________ https://www.travelsketchsailing.com/ ☝ Check out the website for more info on us, the places we go and products we use 📷 After backpacking Asia, road tripping Europe and doing a bit of van life, we’re now exploring the world aboard our Leopard 45 catamaran. 🎶 Music from Artlist ➼ Get yourself 2 months free with a subscription https://artlist.io/Telicia-1577425 #sailing #boatlife #trinidadandtobago #yachtlifestyle #shipyard #Catamaran #yachting #nomadiclife #caribbean #sailinglife #trini #boatlifestyle #liveaboard

Built in Brixham, Devon in 1908, Golden Vanity has had many roles. A family yacht, racing across the Atlantic, and training young people. In 2020, First Class Sailing took on Golden Vanity. She is now used for RYA courses, holidays and available for private charter. Golden Vanity is a class of sailing trawler known as a Mumble Bee, a 38ft Gaff Cutter. She offers traditional sailing adventures with great comfort below decks. Whether you want to learn to sail or enjoy a sailing adventure First Class Sailing can help. Sail Golden Vanity for a weekend of fun or join a longer voyage sailing along the coast of Dorset, Devon and Cornwall. Join us for Falmouth Classics or the Paimpol Sea Shanty Festival in Brittany, France. Sail a classic boat and learn traditional sailing techniques. Learning to sail on the RYA Competent Crew course is quite different from modern yachts. She is all wood and, unlike our other boats, there are no winches on board (apart from an anchor capstan) which means the sails all go up by hand. Plenty of teamwork and a good technique, which we will show you, make this possible. We also offer the RYA Day Skipper course on Golden Vanity. Ideal for those that have completed the Day Skipper on a modern yacht or have some traditional boat experience. Learn the sailing techniques required of a gaff-rigged boat from our Instructor. To find out more head to our website or follow us on our social channels. Please do call or email if you have any questions.

Whether you’re sailing solo or double-handed, it is perfect for your adventures at sea or on a lake! Boat of the Year Award | Best Innovation | by Sailing World U.S.A. "The thing was a blast. I couldn't believe how well it sailed. You could have some serious fun with this, especially in big breeze." -------------------------- ** The Tiwal story ** * The Birth of Tiwal * As a girl, the first time our founder Marion Excoffon was told, “No!” by her father when she asked to use the family boat, her life as an inventor began. It was then she started dreaming of building her own craft, an ambitious feat that would come true years later. On the road to creating an innovative high-speed vessel for everyone from kids and first timers to expert sailors who want to test limits, there were a number of prototypes, failures, challenges and headaches. But, if there’s one thing Marion’s known for, it’s her sailor’s grit! * Combining Fun & Technology * The award winning Tiwal concept is easy assembly and storage - maximum fun and performance for watersports and activities. A Tiwal isn’t your average dinghy! Our design is the result of tons of coordination, talent, and technological savvy. * A Growing Global Community * For our community of Tiwal skippers (more than 2,500 worldwide!) all this innovative design means their focus is fixed on the pleasures of watersports and having tons of fun on a responsive sailing craft. With excellent upwind and downwind abilities combined with high-speeds, Tiwals are a part of both fun and professional performance. The Tiwal 3 received the Boat of the Year (Best innovation) Award 2014 from Sailing World in the USA and the Red Dot Award, with recognitions, accolades, and smiling faces continuing to join together on the waves worldwide.
