This week we discuss big heavy sailboats for sailing the Bahamas and Caribbean, living on a sailboat, and why while they hold their value and can sail oceans and big waves, they might not be the right choice to retire on a sailboat or sail from Bimini Bahamas to Grenada. We look at the Island Packet 420 and Island Packet 440 compared to Beneteau, Jeanneau, Catalina, and Hunter Legend including the Cataina 32 MKII, Hunter Legend 40.5, Beneteau 423, and Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42 DS.

What does squelch actually do on your VHF radio? When no usable signal is being received, a VHF radio naturally picks up background noise — that familiar hiss. Squelch keeps the speaker muted until a signal is strong enough to break through. Set it too low, and you hear constant static. Set it too high, and you may block weaker transmissions you actually want to hear. A simple way to set it: lower the squelch until you hear static, then slowly raise it until the noise just disappears. That’s the threshold you’re looking for. #sailing #boat #sailor #radio #ship
