We love blue tape. It is helpful for labeling and reminding you of important items to track and monitor. In this Offshore Cruising tip called “Analog Gauges”, Jeff recommends using blue tape to help you mark your gauges for quick verification that all is well. Analog gauges have needle indicators that move to and remain in a safe operating “normal” position once they are warmed up and running. By marking the “normal” needle location with blue tape, you can quickly check that your gauges are where they should be. If you start running hot, losing voltage or oil pressure you have a simple pre-alarm warning. This same tip can be used for main engine analog gauges. Simply cut blue tape into small triangles and mark the normal needle locations for voltage, oil pressure, and coolant. This practice can be used for all of your analog gauges including proper pressure points for steering, fresh water, etc. A swift glance lets you verify your status. To learn more about safe travel at sea, please consider signing up for “Offshore Cruising – Preparing Craft and Crew” and you will learn why it has become one of the most popular classes Boaters University has ever offered.

Join us as we watch our boys grow up on a boat while we travel the world. Any guesses as to where we're heading next? Comment below! Posting on: https://www.facebook.com/sailinghangtime https://www.instagram.com/sailinghangtime/ -------------------------------------------- About us: We are a family of four who have been watching our boys grow up on a boat for the past 2+ years. We recetly included a new addition, a Havanese pup named Ruby. We worked hard in our 20's and 30's and built a company that has an amazing team managing it and allows us to work remotely and enjoy this time with our family. We love adventure, sports and an active lifestyle but also take pleasure in a great meal or a sunset gin and tonic. Boat life is challanging and busy but we have been learning as we go and have a great appreciation for the sailing community and the willingness of others to teach and share skills. After two seasons in the Caribben we're hoping to get Hangtime through the Panama Canal and onto New Zealand in 2021. This is the glory run of sailing - stunning landscapes, great sailing conditions and amazing people. Please subscribe so you can get a glimpse into this epic adventure.

All Pegasus yachts come fully equipped, commissioned, and tested for safe, comfortable long-distance sailing - all within the base price. The standard specification includes sailing, navigation, communication, deck, and safety equipment, along with everything needed for autonomy and self-sufficiency at sea. Before handover, the boat is transported to the launch marina, where it undergoes final assembly, system configuration, and full commissioning. From there, it's splashed, rigorously tested, and prepared for sea trials. The entire process concludes with a personal onboard handover and onboarding experience for the owner, ensuring complete familiarity and confidence before setting sail.
