We did a major refit on our sailboat, and one of the key jobs was replacing the cutlass bearings — the parts that support the propeller shafts and keep vibrations low when the props spin. To do this, we hauled the boat out of the water, dropped the rudders, pulled the shafts, and used a heat gun to loosen the glue holding the old bearings in place. Once they slid out, we pressed in brand-new bearings, reinstalled everything, and got ready to launch again! It’s one of those behind-the-scenes jobs that makes a huge difference in how smooth and reliable the boat feels underway. Follow along for more sailboat refit projects, cruising life, and ocean adventures!

This is Sibelle. The main theme of the yacht is strength: Sibelle has a bold exterior profile with a muscular reverse sheer to the bow. The chiselled contours and dark horizontal strip windows lend the yacht a poise and grace. She has been fully designed in-house by Feadship. Both the exterior and interior design are by Studio De Voogt. The interior design is simple yet sophisticated and based on natural tones, light wood veneers and organic forms for an ambience that is soberly tasteful but also informal and welcoming. @feadship #yachtdesign, #exclusiveyachts, #travel, #spinnakermagazine, #spinnakerbureau

Cool old boat with a very happy crew. The captain is rocking out and enjoying some wine while the lady takes in the view of a glorious afternoon on the water.

The foiling windsurfers on Lake Garda make it look easy during an early morning session. It will not be long until the wind does its regular flip to come from the other direction for the afternoon session.

We are preparing for our first Sailing Cruiser Experience on s/v Manava, a 500 lagoon. With Britican up for sale, I've jumped ship and am testing out the dark side! This season, I'm teaching prospective cruisers what living on a catamaran is all about. Follow us to find out how it goes! #sailingexperience #short
