This is how we stay cool on a boat. We use a ton of fans: 12v fans and battery-operated ryobi fans and 110v plug-in fans, but at the end of the day nothing can beat an air conditioner... we love A/C!!!! #boatlife #airconditioner #sailingchannel

Prepping for the ultimate 2025 challenge! ?? After 5 incredible years cruising Japan on my Gibsea 402, I'm gearing up for Chasing the Cherry Blossom 2, a journey to sail the length of Japan during Sakura Season-25 years after doing it by bicycle. ? This haulout in Okinawa is to ready my boat (and myself) for the adventure of a lifetime as I celebrate turning 70! ?? Follow along for every step of this epic odyssey! ? This is day 10 of the haul out. I actually splashed on day 8, but on the next day, I discovered a problem, and so tomorrow I have to haul out again. Are you a `never-too-later` like me?

Harking from a seminal period in Sparkman & Stephens design history following their 12-Metre INTREPID's America's Cup success - when S&S led the way in split-keel-and-rudder racers and cruiser-racers - ROSE WILDER has the added good fortune of build by one of the finest of Italian yards, Cantiere Sangermani. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/710/ROSE%20WILDER%20(ex%20SANDPIPER) Their artistic attention to detail and quality is evident throughout. As SANDPIPER in long initial ownership by Santa Barbara Yacht Club's Dean Brown, she was a well known and successful participant in some of the classic West Coast USA offshore races. Subsequently she has cruised the Pacific seaboard in the hands of only two owners who, not surprisingly, fell in love with this very attractive, responsive and sure-footed yacht. Modern sail handling systems allow her to be easily sailed single or short handed while bow and stern thrusters allow neat berthing feats. Although very much in commission, ROSE WILDER does require attention to elements of her structure commensurate with her age - reflected in a very reasonable asking price for a very striking 50-footer with superb provenance.
