🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [2/52] 🪢 I think you would be surprised by the number of boats we see with flapping sails as they try to motor against the wind 😬 I’m saying you should stop this now! Not only will you save the sails to last longer, you will also ✨ Increase your boat speed ✨ Decrease your fuel consumption ✨ Make the boat go smoother in the waves ✨ Less noise Motor sailing can have its benefits, and even though we prefer sailing it would be lying to say we never give a little support with the diesel engine, especially sailing behind islands where the wind is usually all over the place. By giving a little extra push with the engine we can go higher up towards the wind or sail over choppy waves in conditions that would normally be to light. If you still want to go dead straight into the wind? DROP YOUR SAILS!! They are not doing ANYTHING good by just flopping like that! Share this to someone who you think should be a little kinder to their sails 😉

Έχοντας μάθει ιστιοπλοΐα δίπλα στους κορυφαίους προπονητές στην Ελλάδα και βρισκόμενος στο χώρο της διδασκαλίας τα τελευταία 3 χρόνια με την Seven Seas School of Yachting, διαπιστώσαμε οως η μεγαλύτερη έλλειψη δεξιοτήτων βρίσκεται στον χειρισμό του σκάφους μέσα στα λιμάνια και της μαρίνες της Ελλάδας. Το πρακτικό σεμινάριο που πραγματοποιήθηκε είχε πολύ μεγάλη επιτυχία και σύντομα θα ανακοινωθεί το επόμενο για να δηλώσετε συμμετοχή. Ευχαριστώ θερμά τους συμμετέχοντες μαθητές οι οποίοι πραγματικά έδωσαν τον καλύτερο εαυτό τους και απέδειξαν πως πάντα υπάρχει περιθώριο βελτίωσης και μάθησης.

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?
