I lost everything at 65. Now I am starting over. Sailing Nervous began as the story of a lifelong dream: leaving ordinary life behind, living aboard a sailboat, and chasing the horizon. Then the channel went silent. For more than four years, the journey disappeared from view. Now Sailing Nervous returns with a new chapter: Starting Over. There is a story behind the silence — and this summer, that story begins. This next chapter is about loss, faith, hope, aging, adventure, travel, and the courage to begin again when the life you planned is gone. New episodes every Tuesday at 7 PM Eastern. Subscribe if you have ever wondered whether it is too late to start over. Welcome aboard. — Vincent Sailing Nervous #StartingOver #SailingNervous #LifeAfterLoss #SailingNervous #StartingOver #SailingLife

This Beneteau First 375 has been meticulously maintained by her current owner. With many recent upgrades, Cheeky Amie is ideally set up for fast, comfortable sailing in the Pacific North West. Attention to detail is evident throughout and there’s a list of recent upgrades that includes standing rigging, life lines, keel bolts, hot water tank, furling gear and more. With the possibility of assumable moorage at Thunderbird Marina in West Vancouver, this boat is a must see. The deck layout and hardware upgrades have been carefully thought out and feature self-tailing Lewmar winches, Harken Battcar system on the main, a rigid boom vang, with all lines, including reefing lines for the main and adjustable genoa fairleads, led back to the cockpit. The windlass has foot switches on deck, as well as a wired remote at the helm, making it possible to drop or retrieve anchor without leaving the cockpit. There is a large (41″) leather covered wheel, with a Raymarine chart plotter mounted on the pedestal, as well as radar, wind, apparent wind, depth, AIS, VHF and a stereo with cockpit speakers. The teak decks are in good condition and have been regularly maintained. Cheeky Aime’s owner raves about how well balanced the boat is, thanks to her design and to a versatile sail suite. She comes with a North Sails Dacron main with 2 reef points, a Dacron 140% furling genoa, a 100% jib, and a Bamar Rollgen furling gennaker. This fast and easy to furl gennaker comes with both heavy and light air sheets. Below you’ll find a warm and bright 2 cabin design with 6’ 1” headroom. The aft cabin, like the forward cabin, is equipped with a double bed, a dressing table and hanging locker. The dining room table comfortably seats six, and converts to another double. The galley features a 3 burner propane stove with oven, refrigeration, and pressure hot water. A diesel Planer forced air heating system takes the chill of cool nights. The head includes a shower, and there’s a holding tank with macerator. Interior and exterior lights have been converted to LED. Extras include a 10.5 foot AB inflatable with cover and 9.9 Mercury outboard. Inflated the dinghy fits nicely on the foredeck and there’s a lifting crane for stowing the outboard on the pushpit. There are Sumbrella covers for the wheel pedestal, hand rails, winches and windlass, as well as a custom full boat winter cover. Bottom and zincs were done in May, as well as an out of the water survey. Contact us now for more about this ready-to-go Beneteau or to book an appointment to view.

Update Day 3: Both Irish crews through to Gold fleet at Olympic qualifier in Lanzarote. Two race wins today for Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove have moved the pair into third overall. They were heading for a top three result in their second race of the day but were disqualified for being fractionally over the line at the start. However, it was the opening race of the day that offered the biggest thrill for the Irish team as Dickson and Waddilove were chased around the course by team-mates Ryan Seaton and Séafra Guilfoyle who scored two second places plus a tenth and moved from 17th to 10th overall. Both teams will now compete in the Gold Fleet. Ireland face Belgium and Italy in the contest for the final nation slot for the Olympics. “Both Irish crews showed their capabilities on the water and in the results today with well deserved places in the Gold fleet ,” commented James O’Callaghan, Irish Sailing’s Performance Director. “Two top three results for Ryan and Seafrá have got them into the top ten where they can build further towards Friday’s finale - this event will come down to the wire!”

Endeavour Victory 35 Catamaran For Sale By Owner Additional catamaran photos, details, and equipment list as well as seller contact information can be viewed at: https://www.catamaransite.com/catamarans-for-sale/#post-45378 S/V Quartersplash is a 2000 Endeavor Victory 35 catamaran, for sale by owner. The name “Quartersplash” comes from the second owner who raced cars and almost broke the land speed record in the quarter mile dash. We are the third owner and purchased Quartersplash nearly three years ago in La Paz, BCS, but circumstances have changed upon the purchase of a home within a few miles of Puerto Escondido marina. She is light, nimble, and beautiful. We have enjoyed our time on the Sea with her and hope to find someone else who enjoys her as much as we did. Quartersplash is an ideal Sea of Cortez exploration vessel. Very stable, economical and comfortable platform sailing or at anchor. We made numerous additions and upgrades to Quartersplash. This a boat that is at home on the hook, dockside, or underway. She is an excellent sailing boat and comfortable to be on while offshore or at anchor. It is easily sailed single-handed as all lines lead back to the helm which has an electric winch. The helm can be fully enclosed in the event of inclement weather. The dodger provides excellent visibility and protection. Instrumentation includes a new (2022) Furuno depth sounder/fish finder; Raymarine Wheel Pilot, chart plotter, two USB outlets and an AC at the helm.

Recently we worked with the Irish Sailing Association at their Youth Pathway event held at Ballyholme Yacht Club. The event was one of the largest we have covered yet with racing over 5 fleets and 3 race courses. Fleets included Toppers, Optimists, Laser 4.7s, Laser Radials and 420s. As the ISA are currently working on building their social media channels, we decided that opting for several short videos would be most suited to their needs. We decided that filming would only be needed for one day, to allow us to get the content we required. We produced an overall video to release first, along with a short teaser for Instagram. We then worked and made a short 40-60 second video for each class. We also have the option to use the content to promote future events for the ISA
