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?

Quasi 3 mesi fa abbiamo chiuso per l’ultima volta la porta di casa nostra, la prima casa in cui abbiamo vissuto insieme per 3 magnifici anni. A 3 mesi dal trasloco, com’è cambiata la nostra vita? IL SONNO Non so perché, ma in barca riposiamo meglio. È così. Alle 7 ci svegliamo, con un’ora di anticipo sulla sveglia, freschi e riposati. LE PAUSE Ogni momento libero è dedicato a preparare la barca per la traversata oceanica. Ce n’è per tutti: dissalatore, winch, pompa del frigo, ordine nei gavoni, manutenzione dei candelieri, etc etc etc Stavo leggendo un libro sul linguaggio e sulle metafore, ma è tutto in pausa, al secondo posto rispetto ai lavori. Solo la settimana enigmistica prima di dormire rimane un must insuperabile. GLI SPAZI Cosa ve lo dico a fare 😅 Cos’altro vi viene in mente? Scrivetelo nei commenti 💪🫶 Come sempre a domani ❤️ Camilla
