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.

Bali Catamarans launched 10 years ago with some innovative design features like the aft tilting door and solid foredeck. ▫️ They continue their successful growth as one of the big 3 manufacturers with a range that includes the 38' Catsmart all the way up to the flagship 5.8 which was launched this year. A real achievement in just over a decade. They are not afraid to try new ideas, many of which have been "adapted" by other manufacturers over the years. ▫️ Do you have a favourite model? ▫️ #sailing #catamarans #yachts @BaliCatamarans
