How to Sail an Ideal 18 — Ideally The Ideal 18 is a simple boat with strong opinions. Do the basics well and it feels incredible. Ignore them and it won’t yell at you… it’ll just go slower. This video is a fast, fun look at how to make an Ideal 18 feel smooth, balanced, and suspiciously quick—without adding more strings, gadgets, or emotional baggage. Flat is fast. Restraint is a skill. Tiny adjustments matter more than big ones. And yes, the boat is absolutely judging you. If you sail Ideal 18s (or race boats that reward fundamentals), this one’s for you.

Who knew dolphins liked to dance?!?! In our travels, dolphin spotting has been a rare and treasured experience. Today, on our passage to Eleuthera, we were gifted to an even rarer treat: not one, but TWO baby dolphins and their parents, who buddy-sailed with us for a time.
