#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.

Oggi ci svegliamo con il desiderio di scendere a terra, fare una camminata. Ma il meteo non è troppo d’accordo. Se in barca non vuoi vivere brutte sorprese, è meglio imparare a rimetterti alle sue decisioni. Di certo un esercizio perfetto per chi è solito esercitare controllo su ciò che lo circonda! Quindi senza forzare le cose, decidiamo di fare un bagno. Ragazzi che acqua calda, uno splendore. Peccato che le temperature così calde siano causa di stagione di intense attività di uragani. Quest’anno pare sia destinato ad assistere a qualcosa di forte. Ed ecco perché il 5 giugno molliamo gli ormeggi. Oggi abbiamo scelto di pulire le murate. Perchè? Perché vedere Julia di nuovo così splendente ci ha dato una gratificazione incredibile. E oggi, la nostra domenica, nonostante un meteo non dei migliori, ha avuto modo ugualmente di essere un giorno che ci ha riempito gli occhi e il cuore. Andrea

This week we discuss big heavy sailboats for sailing the Bahamas and Caribbean, living on a sailboat, and why while they hold their value and can sail oceans and big waves, they might not be the right choice to retire on a sailboat or sail from Bimini Bahamas to Grenada. We look at the Island Packet 420 and Island Packet 440 compared to Beneteau, Jeanneau, Catalina, and Hunter Legend including the Cataina 32 MKII, Hunter Legend 40.5, Beneteau 423, and Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42 DS.
