Leaving Portimao, Portugal for a night sail was a magical experience. We learnt so much about safe night sailing, the importance of clipping on, night vision whilst sailing and how to identify lights. Learning to night sail was a highlight of our Learn2Sail RYA sailing course. Student review for Learn2Sail.

#sailing #PHRF #sailboatracing #CaptainQ #BoatFools #racingstories #sailboatlife Old Sailing Rivals Talk Smack Two old racing rivals. One rating system. Plenty of trash talk. ⚓😄 In this short, Captain Alan “Captain Q” Kew and Tristram Coburn revisit the good old days—when starting lines were crowded, egos were fragile, and PHRF ratings decided who really won the race. If you’ve ever wondered what PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) means, or why sailors argue about it decades later, this one’s for you. Using the Intrepid 40 as the spark, we break down how PHRF works—seconds per mile, rating differences, and why two boats (and two skippers) can finish together but never agree on the result. This is accidentally educational sailing content: part nostalgia, part explanation, and part friendly (mostly) rivalry. Whether you’re a cruiser, racer, or just here for the banter, welcome to BoatFools Sailing. 👉 Subscribe for real-world sailboat reviews, racing stories, and honest boat-buying advice—no yacht-broker fluff.

We sold our dream home mid-pandemic and after moving 3 times in 3 months we landed aboard our Seawind 1600 catamaran Wanderlust. We are Kristin + Fabio Potenti and our lovely little French Bulldog Yoda is on board with us. This dream has been in the making for years and we're super excited that it's finally coming true! It's all a bit surreal. We're longing to explore the world by sea, learn about different cultures and eat delicious food everywhere we go. For now we're based in Ft. Lauderdale, FL due to travel restrictions, which is a great location to get accustomed to the boat. This is a short intro video to share who we are and why we sold our home and moved onto a catamaran. We'll be documenting our journey as we learn the ins and outs of boat life, sail the beautiful waters of South Florida and the Bahamas, and cook up a storm in our galley. We hope you'll come along for the ride. :) For real time updates follow us on Insta...https://www.instagram.com/harborsunknown/ Song is Weather Any Storm by Cody Francis from Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/RZI7R4iUkt
