Here's a glimpse of the upcoming build series of my new tender to Flying Spur! The mast sections are mated together by an inner-ring of epoxied carbon fiber tape The sail was cut from tanbark cloth by Sailrite. I assembled everything from there I decided to use a mast track instead of the common "zippered sleeve" for reasons of simplicity and durability. A small shim was used to "ramp" the track between the different-sized mast poles, and it glides really well. Music: "The Bottom of The Ocean" by Matt Garver

We just sailed from Chile to Panama. 20 days at sea, no land in sight and these lessons are now burned into my salty brain: 🎧 No in-ear headphones at sea. They mess with your balance and make seasickness worse. Trust me. 🧘‍♀️ Patience is everything. You can’t rush nature. The wind comes when it comes. 💧 Hydration matters more than you think. Feeling off? Drink water first. 💡 Extra tip: Sleep when you can and respect your watch shifts. You never know when you’ll need that extra energy—especially when a squall hits at 2am. Tell us, what’s one lesson you’ve learned from offshore sailing or long passages? 🌊 Want to feel more confident offshore? Comment “offshore” and we’ll send you our Offshore Sailing Bundle. It’s packed with real-life lessons, provisioning guides, safety checklists, crew tips, and sail setups we actually use. Stay Salty!
