Doing a rig check before offshore sailing? Here’s how we inspect our rigging before every passage. From the top of the mast, we check for cracked fittings, loose pins, corrosion, and halyard chafe — the small things that can turn into big problems at sea. We use a climbing harness (or a bosun’s chair works too), a figure 8 knot for extra security, and always a backup halyard. Clear communication and double-checking gear are key when one of you is literally hoisting the other up the mast. This is part of our pre-passage checklist — and it’s one of the most important safety steps we take before any long sail. ⛵ Want more sailing tips, rigging know-how, and liveaboard life?

Aquila 45 Sport ☀️ Sandbar days, watersports, a full weekend aboard, even longer hauls — this power cat is built to do all of it. But the real story is the hull: a double-stepped, full-planing design that stayed stable and seaworthy while sipping fuel, with a pair of 600-hp Mercury V12 outboards doing the heavy lifting. Does it actually live up to the spec sheet? We put it through the full test to find out.
