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.

Short Video presenting the launch of the The MC63 Power Catamaran. The McConaghy MC63P Power Catamaran is infused with cutting-edge aerospace technology, a hallmark of this renowned shipyard. With the sleek appearance of a modern fighter jet, it also offers a serene, loft-like living space for ultimate comfort. Like all McConaghy yachts, the MC63P features the signature open salon-to-cockpit layout, enhancing the flow of indoor-outdoor living. Built with an advanced technique using 80% carbon in a patented epoxy infusion process, many components are post-cured to maximize strength-to-weight efficiency. This race-proven construction method results in a more spacious interior, improved fuel economy, and enhanced speed, making the MC63P as practical as it is high-performing.
