Varnishing can be a labour of love: On our last boat I applied 11 coats of varnish to the tiller and the results were fantastic... However, it took lots of time which I no longer have. If you're short on time, you can achieve decent results using the technique in this video. Will it get you on the cover of Classic Boat Magazine? Absolutely not! Will I make your boat look a lot better with minimal work? Yes! Subscribe for more handy sailboat DIY tips! Chris 👍

A dear friend (also sailor) Jean-Maurice was battling last stages of cancer. He's got the sailing bug. Sailed this passage before on a Class 40. I sent him this short of myself back in January 2010 when solo-sailing the North Atlantic from Las Palmas, Canary Islands to Mindelo, Cabo Verde.

Chalki is a serene jewel tucked away in the Dodecanese archipelago of Greece. Though modest, this petite island captivates with its untarnished charm, historical depth, and maritime allure. Chalki provides an ideal anchoring spot and a culturally rich experience that resonates with every sailor's spirit. As you approach its shores, be prepared to discover a realm where tradition and tranquillity merge seamlessly with the melodies of the Aegean waves. watch the full video: https://youtu.be/5aMBTlPb-bU #shorts #greece #sailing
