From a serene ocean morning to a life-changing crisis—hitting a submerged obstacle shattered our boat's daggerboard trunk and flooded the cabin. That moment taught me a crucial lesson: safety first. Now I only buy boats with retractable daggerboards. Speed is great, but safety is everything. 🌊⚓️ #McConaghyBoats #Nautitechcatamarans #NEELtrimarans #multihullsailing #cruising #shorts

Okay, this one is an option, but it’s great and we’re going to go with it on Mira. Advantages: Lighter Longer life-span Stronger and can actually bear the force of redirecting lines via a carabiner/shackle Allows way more water to flow through(safer) More resilient with individual Dyneema lashings instead of using one or two segments to attach Disadvantages: Added cost (approximately $5k as of this video) The rigging person will have phantom hand cramps appear when thinking of your boat

Crossing a frozen pond in the backcountry can be dangerous — but with the right systems, the risk can be managed. In this clip from our Baker’s Brook expedition in Newfoundland, Steve explains how we assess changing conditions while skiing across the ice — checking thickness every few feet and using techniques that reduce both the chances of breaking through and the consequences if it happens.
