I started my boat overhaul by tearing out a good part of the interior and rebuilding to optimise storage for blue water cruising If you're interested in more information on my trip, please visit my website :) https://windhippie.com/

Start by finding a structurally sound boat and addressing common issues like soft decks, keel bolts, and steering through DIY repairs learned from online tutorials. Enroll in a sailing school and work toward a recognized certification such as ASA or RYA, gaining real-world practice through local courses and short trips until you’re confident as a skipper. Unless you're crazy and want to try to do it yourself like everyone else and learn the ropes. Plan your route—most often from ICW to Florida across the Gulf Stream—taking into account weather windows, navigation, and safety protocols to ensure a smooth and enjoyable passage to the Bahamas. :) Message us with any questions or subscribe/check out our channel!

Grant Simmer OAM talks with John Curnow about where to hold the America's Cup when Australia wins it again, which is exactly why he has taken on the job as CEO of Team Australia. It has been his life, he has won it one the water, won it as an administrator, and jumped at the chance to spearhead this challenge.

Swiss skipper Sebastien Schnieter explains the other side of the situation. While there are plenty of collisions in SailGP, some of them pretty major, what strikes me about this one is how shaken both skippers are. Both seem to know but don't say, how much worse this collision could have been in just a metre or so. This is also perhaps the clearest evidence we've seen of the unspoken fear that sits within each and every crew member. It's fast, it's fun and it's at the very leading edge of the sport, but the risks are increasing all the time. PlanetSail Full review online now www.planetsail.co.uk
