Hey guys, I’ve just finished editing this reel/video - which took surprisingly long to edit since I had to squeeze 21 days on the hard into a 1-minute video! 🤪🙈😅 Of course, this video only covers the surface; I’ll go into more detail when I’m uploading the long-format YouTube episode. 😅 As you can see, I’ve decided to repaint my whole boat since I didn’t like the old paint at all. It was grey, there were darker patches everywhere to cover up who knows what, and the YouTube logo that the previous owner painted on was something I just didn’t want on my boat since I personally like simple and clean lines. So now, Sirocco looks brand new and has her name neatly sitting on the bow and stern, and I added my home port of Berlin to the stern of my boat as well, which I’m very proud of (and just realized that I didn’t film the stern at all). 🙈🤪😂 The other jobs included not only the cleaning of the propeller or the new antifoul - I actually had to strip down the old antifoul completely back to the gel coat, to be able to check out a potential patch of delamination that my surveyor informed me about when he surveyed my boat. Unfortunately, the delamination was confirmed by a fiberglass and gel coat mechanic that I hired in Grenada. He actually found another big area of gel coat that was damaged on my keel - which probably happened when the previous owner hit the ground (and promised me that he had it fixed professionally but it didn’t look that way). The mechanic then fixed it and applied the brand new antifoul - so it was altogether way more expensive than the usual annual haul out (and took triple as long as planned) but it had to be done and I’m happy about the results! What do you think - doesn’t Sirocco look fabulous now? 😉🥰⛵️ Cheers guys, Kristina

Ready to take your 22-40ft. sailboat out for the first time? In this episode of the Captain's Salon, we break down the basics of sailing, terms & concepts every beginner needs to confidently navigate lakes and bays. Buying a sailboat is the first step, but gaining the confidence to leave the dock is where the real journey begins. Join me in my salon as I pull from three essential sailing books to glean the best "sailing speak" and turn it into plain English. Whether you're on a Texas lake, reservoir, or a coastal bay, mastering terms like Port, Starboard, Tack or Jibe is your foundation for safety and fun while your sailing on the water. #SailingForBeginners #LearningToSail #NewBoatOwner #Sailing101 #HowToSail #cruisinglife #sailingtips #smallboatsailing #lakesailing #baysailing #coastalsailing
