Join us on a 6-day sailing passage from Thursday Island, Australia to Tual, Indonesia aboard our Jeanneau 45 sailboat! 🌊⛵ It was an unforgettable offshore journey filled with epic ocean moments and serious mechanical challenges. We were visited by dolphins riding our bow, caught nothing but sharks, and watched breathtaking sunsets—but things took a turn when our gearbox failed mid-passage. With no propulsion, we hipped up the dinghy and towed our sailboat to anchorage. Real sailing, raw and unfiltered. Whether you're dreaming of sailing to Indonesia, want to know how to handle a broken gearbox at sea, or love wildlife and sailing adventure content, this short captures it all. 📍 Route: Thursday Island, Australia → Tual, Indonesia 🎣 Wildlife spotted: Dolphins, sharks, flying fish ⚙️ Issue: Gearbox failure mid-ocean 🛶 Solution: Hipped up the dinghy to tow to anchorage Subscribe for more real-life sailing experiences, DIY boat fixes, and life at sea with @SeafolkSailing #sailing #sailinglife #sailingaustralia #offshoresailing #oceanlife #liveaboardlife

We are moments away from the mast being pulled out on our new boat! And from the looks of it, it might have never been done before! - Boat anno 1988 :D

Une semaine avant le grand départ, Stéphane Le Diraison effectue une sortie technique afin de vérifier les ris et les voiles d'avant. Ambiance à bord avec un somptueux coucher de soleil en compagnie de dauphins !

An important milestone during the construction of an aluminium hull, is the turning of the hull. Here you see the latest custom built Bestevaer 72, called Symbiose, being turned at our ship yard in Makkum, the Netherlands. Video by Guy Fleury.
