We sail on the good ship Saracen, a Beneteau Oceanis 473 from 2006. Out journey started in Scotland in early 2023 and our ultimate goal is to sail around the globe …..slowly. We make these videos mostly for family and friends and to create a record of our adventures for ourselves so that we can look back at them later in life, were not in it to make money (way to hard).

Although we are no strangers to refit work, the decision to cast our own keel - from design to finished product is definately one of our crazier projects! A task that felt huge when starting, took up all our free time during spring. If you are further interested in our DIY keel casting, check out our channel or check out or playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st9sX4bne1k&list=PLHgGaw1dpS58b1uu5Wrq5HHw01zU335fv where we have gathered all our keel related videos!
Quick guide to setting the kicker in an Optimist dinghy for strong winds. Sorry about the audio, it was windy! Strong winds means when the sailor is hiking upwind and having to ease the mainsheet in gusts. Lots of kicker will make the boat easier to sail upwind and reduce leech twist and therefore rolling downwind. Ideally also look to rake the mast forwards to balance the centre of effort in the sail and avoid excess weather helm in strong winds.
