Meet Carol and Sally! They recently picked up their new Scamp and are going to be sharing their experiences learning to sail her, and then exploring waters in the desert southwest (Lake Powell, AZ is a big one they want to camp cruise). “I thought it would be wise for my body to not only build up strength, but to stretch and use some postures and slow movements I usually associate with yoga or tai chi,” said Carol. “Doing this might prevent injuries no matter your age.” In this case, showing is better than telling, so here’s a short video demonstrating Carol’s strength and mobility-building routine in preparation for sailing her new Scamp! Get to know them on their intro post on our blog, and follow along as they learn and sail in their new Scamp! https://ghboats.com/2025/07/launching-into-the-scamp-adventures-of-carol-and-sally/

How to Sail an Ideal 18 — Ideally The Ideal 18 is a simple boat. Do the basics well and it feels incredible. Ignore them and it won’t yell at you… it’ll just go slower. This video is a fun look at how to make an Ideal 18 feel smooth, balanced, and suspiciously quick—without adding more strings, gadgets, or emotional baggage. Flat is fast. Restraint is a skill. Tiny adjustments matter more than big ones. If you sail Ideal 18s (or race boats that reward fundamentals), this one’s for you.
