A serious offshore program requires more than a capable yacht. It also requires preparation. During our owner week, new Garcia owners work on offshore safety and survival to build the reflexes and understanding needed before departure. Because preparation matters as much as the boat itself. Which skill matters most before going offshore: safety, systems or navigation? #GarciaYachts #OffshoreSailing #ExpeditionYacht #BluewaterSailing #SailingSafety #MasterTheAdventure

We sailed to the other side of the world, crossing the 180° Meridian which marks our furthest point from home (Scotland). We’ve had great weather so far but still about 5 days to go.

Here are 3 reasons why we bought a steel boat; 1. They are strong! We want to travel anywhere including choppy seas and transatlantic crossings without worrying about the fragility of our boat. Steel sailboats have a more rigid structure and are robust so they can better withstand grazes, rubs, and bumps when in the open water. 2. They are stable! Though not as light and fast as fiberglass boats, the weight of steel boats make them more steady in choppy waters and that means reduce chances of seasickness. 3. We are going electric! Since we were buying a used boat, we needed to select a structure that could be alter in order install our electric motor and a steel structure is highly adaptable. Let us know what kind of boat you prefer! There is so much more to come so remember to subscribe to Lahakai! ➡️ WEEKLY VIDEOS EVERY SUNDAY AT 11AM WHO ARE WE? We are Luke, Lori and Leon :) We love the idea of freedom of the open sea, endless horizons, and your home whenever you wish to be. We also want to feel we are impacting the world in a positive way. So we are building the Lahakai – a 34' steel, environmentally friendly, sailboat that we will sail around the world! Or at least that is the goal and you can see our progress along the way. The dream is to do our small part and perhaps inspire others to do the same. A chance to participate in change instead of just talking about it.

Sailing our Astus 20.5 trailer sailer on a beautiful Summer's day in 12 knots of breeze on the flat water of Chichester Harbour. It does not take much wind for these small trimaran cruisers to get a shift on!
