#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.

SW96#05 Liberty, a yacht built by sailors for smart sailors. Since day one, SW96#05 Liberty has been the result of fantastic and seamless teamwork, and working with the owner and his team has been an absolute pleasure. The collective, ongoing feedback from the owner, his captain-an experienced superyacht sailor- and his advisor - a professional racer - has provided us with accurate and balanced input. The result of this process is a boat that has been defined and built by sailors for smart sailors.

Jason breaks down the redesign they have in mind to move from proof of concept to full on solar canopy providing free propulsion out of their twin ePropulsion Navy 6.0 Evo outboards. Coupled with the 15.5 kWh LFP bank of 16 series connected Expert Power prismatic cells and Victron components throughout, this upcycled 1986 Prout Snowgoose Elite has ditched her mast in favor of fully exposed photovoltaics to do their work.
