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 👍

#tbt to the dramatic start of The Ocean Race Europe 2025 in Kiel, Germany. Just minutes after the start, a collision between Team Allagrande MAPEI Racing and Team Holcim-PRB sent shockwaves through the fleet. While the damage forced both teams to retire from Leg 1, the story didn't end there. Following a monumental repair effort and a display of pure grit, both crews rejoined the race for Leg 2 in Portsmouth. Their resilience paid off in spectacular fashion - most notably for Team Holcim-PRB, who fought their way back to secure a 3rd place podium finish overall. It’s not about how you start; it’s about how you finish.
