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?

The ultimate dream of living aboard or going offshore comes to all sailors, so the timing of "Inevitable" being listed for sale may be just the answer you are looking for! Built and maintained to a very high standard, this 2-cabin 2-head centre cockpit vessel does not disappoint when it comes to exceptional living accommodation matched with distance capable sailing performance. Topsides this ketch rigged sailing vessel has classic lines that are timeless. Wide unobstructed side decks two-tone in colour provide an updated look that is visually eye-catching. The centre cockpit is large, offering exceptional visibility from the helm and protection from the elements by a full enclosure that is perfect for off-season sailing. The RIB dinghy with outboard is housed on davits making launching and recovery easy. Down below, beautifully finished in teak the interior space is just lovely offering a space that is warm and inviting which can sometimes be lost in larger vessels. A v-berth cabin and enclosed head are located forward with  the spacious salon and galley located mid-ships. The aft cabin with a large centreline berth and ensuite head with shower are accessed through a starboard side passageway for maximum privacy making this a perfect boat to entertain guests or clients as a charter.
