You can sign up for Jeff’s Offshore Cruising course by going to https://www.boatersuniversity.com/ This Offshore Cruising Tip is called, “Through hulls”. Through hulls are vital operational features that every boat owner needs to understand. Many owners take through hulls for granted and don’t give them much thought. We’d like to encourage you to remember their vital roles. We recommend that you identify the location and purpose of each through hull on your boat. As part of your check lists and routines we suggest you test regularly and make sure each through hull is working – it can be freely opened and closed. When they aren’t used, they can “freeze” or become stubborn. Through hulls that supply raw water to strainers seem to get more service since they are closed off to clean out the strainers, then re-opened. Other through hulls, like deck drains, are rarely adjusted since they are almost always left open. “Exercising” through hulls keeps them active and ready. One tip we recommend is using a PVC pipe as a “long reach” to check those through hulls tucked away outboard and also as a “persuader” that can give you the extra leverage you need to nudge a through hull that has become stiff due to lack of use. Never force a through hull, you could break it and open the flow of water. It is a good practice to have soft wooden bungs and a soft blow hammer nearby to plug a broken through hull and stop the inflow of raw water. If your boat is hauled out you can be a bit more aggressive, but if they are really stuck, they may need to be disassembled or replaced. To learn more about preparing for safe cruising, we invite you to sign up for “Offshore Cruising – Preparing Craft and Crew” and learn why it has become one of the most popular classes offered.

Slow down. You’re on island time. When the Simpson Bay Bridge opens, life on St. Martin hits pause. Boats glide through. Traffic stops. Even the iguanas hustle to the show. 🦎⛵ We filmed this from one of the best vantage points on the island. Dockside at the St. Martin Yacht Club Bar & Restaurant, where the drinks are cold and the views never disappoint. Whether you’re sailing with us or just soaking it in from shore, this is one of those island moments you don’t want to miss. It’s calm, it’s charming, and it’s unmistakably *SXM*. 🌴 **Come sail with us in Sint Maarten:** www.lazysheetsailing.com 📍Departs from Philipsburg 🎥 Subscribe for sailing scenes, hidden gems, and a taste of the real island rhythm. #LazySheetSailing #SailSXM #StMaarten #StMartin #BridgeOpening #IslandVibes #CaribbeanLife #LocalLove #YachtClubViews #SXM #SailingLife

Follow Us Building an Explorer Yacht @NautiGuys https://bit.ly/3yPe1Z5 Finally! We get to bring a BAGLIETTO YACHT Tour to the channel. This Shipyard is one of the oldest in the World and has such incredible history. This stunning Italian “Bad Girl” of a SuperYacht might just be in the top 5 most unique SuperYachts I have been onboard. She is Fast, She is Sleek and she is VERY Luxurious and they have named her 'PANAM". She is 131' / 40M long, SuperFast, and was launched in 2021 😝🙌🏻👌🏻 Rico was literally drooling and I had to pick up his jaw off the floor when he saw the sound system🙈🤣🤩
