#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.

Morning from Buren Bay! I just inflated my SUP (with mixed success), and I’m heading ashore for provisions thanks to Mitsu kindly lending me his car. A Canadian sailing couple has arrived nearby—always nice to see new faces out here. It’s a typical day of small adventures and daily logistics from life aboard Wahine. Whether it’s figuring out how to cap the SUP without losing half the air or rowing 400 meters to shore, life afloat keeps you humble. Thanks for following the journey—more updates from the Blue Zone coming soon! #BoatLife, #SailingJapan, #LiveAboard, #SUPFail, #NeverTooLate, #BlueZoneJourney, #MorningUpdate, #SoloSailor, #WahineSails, #InflatableSUP

To celebrate its centennial, Larson Boat Group designed a big, comfortable runabout with some vintage styling cues. Welcome to the new All American. he new Larson All American 23 is intended to celebrate the centennial of Larson Boats, which was founded in 1913 by Paul Larson in Little Falls, Minn., to manufacture a wooden duck skiff of his own design. Today the company is known as Larson Boat Group, and the new All American is also built on the banks of the Mississippi River in Little Falls. As you may have already noticed, it is not a duck skiff.
