Working or playing? When you love what you do and do what you love there's often no clear line between the two. To design and build outstanding boats, understanding every aspect of the interplay between hulls, wind & water is crucial, as is first hand experience of all the systems and components that bring it to life and the potential effects of minor changes on any of these. Up close and wet on a mighty machine is one excellent way to do that and is exactly what our youngest team members have been doing this season. Design and build have teamed up in the persons of Luca and Pete, and they've been joined by others in their age groups from the yard and local sailing scene, as well as friends from Highwater Sails. D-1 is a well proven weapon and was the training ground for Daz himself who raced across the Atlantic (and won!) in a boat just like this, Clarke's Active Air, the 3rd Dazcat. They say passion diminishes over time but here it just seems to gather momentum. We'll be bringing you much more on D-1's season soon. In the meantime enjoy this short, and you decide whether they're working, playing or simply trying to survive!!

We have been off sailing for the last couple of weeks, so haven't had a chance to upload a new episode. We are working on a lot of episodes, and so will have plenty of footage to come! We had some great friends join us for some sailing here in this short. Hope you enjoy and subscribe to watch more of our adventures as we make our way up to Mexico! Until next time, cheers!

Buy a boat, they say. It’ll be fun, they say! 😂 Owning a boat sometimes feels like throwing your money into a hole in the ground but I wouldn’t wanna change this lifestyle ever! It’s true, you spend a lot and marine items are just automatically triple the price just because they’re marked “marine supplies”. 🤪🙈💸 But on the other hand you save a lot of money for not having to pay rent or for a car or other “luxury” items! What do you think? Is my video accurate!? 😁⛵️💸 Cheers guys, Kristina

Newtown creek to Poole, sun drenched and no wind in the Needles channel but the clouds build and the entry into Poole is somewhat livelier!!
