🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [26/52] 🪢 Are you team upwind or team downwind? Linnea was our first boat with a furling headsail and the natural way for us was to head upwind. It was always a hard job, and Marcus was the only one with enough strength to be able to furl it in even though we only had a small self-tacking jib. But then we got this advice and it was a game changer! The idea seems pretty obvious now, but we had just never considered it! Now handling the furler is an easy job, that we both can manage. Hope this will be of use for your boatlife too 🫶🏼 Don’t forget to save this post and share it with a friend who needs to see this to get inspired to create their own adventure 🫶🏼

Life on the Cobia 296: this boat has an extremely deep cockpit, the deck is level from stem to stern, and you're always ringed on all sides by tall gunwales that keep you securely inside the boat. As we begin casting I notice those tall gunwales are good for something else, too. They're at just the right height to lean up against without feeling like you could lose your balance and flip over the side, and they're lined with cushy bolsters. The down-side to those tall gunwales? More windage, a longer haul when you need to bring the catch in over the side, and you can't easily reach the water to rinse off your hands. The extra heft of the larger boat also, naturally, made it more comfortable in the waves. That's a given—when the waves are rockin' and rollin' there's no substitute for LOA and displacement—but my comfort level on the 296 went up even farther when I heard the call of nature. If you're sick and tired of box-like center console cabins that make using the head a contorted, cramped chore, just take a look at this boat's head compartment. Seriously—take a look for yourself. I found it so roomy, I decided to shoot this video so you could lay your eyeballs on it up close and personal.
