Everyone dreams of sailing into the sunset, exploring islands on Monday mornings instead of going to the office, kiteboarding in paradise... But nobody talks about the toilet clogging at 2 AM, living with a fridge smaller than a shoebox, or storms appearing out of nowhere with zero time to react. I'm planning to live full-time on a sailboat, and here's what no one tells you until it's too late. Yes, the dream is real - the freedom, exploration, living places that cost thousands to visit. But there's a reality side that sailing influencers don't show you. Before you sell everything for boat life, watch this honest breakdown of what full-time sailing actually looks like. #sailboat #liveaboard #sailing #reality #boatlife #honest #truth #storms #maintenance #freedom #exploration #dreams #fulltime #sailinglife #realitycheck" This balances the dream with the harsh realities while maintaining intrigue about what challenges he'll reveal.

Working or playing? When you love what you do and do what you love there's often no clear line between the two. To design and build outstanding boats, understanding every aspect of the interplay between hulls, wind & water is crucial, as is first hand experience of all the systems and components that bring it to life and the potential effects of minor changes on any of these. Up close and wet on a mighty machine is one excellent way to do that and is exactly what our youngest team members have been doing this season. Design and build have teamed up in the persons of Luca and Pete, and they've been joined by others in their age groups from the yard and local sailing scene, as well as friends from Highwater Sails. D-1 is a well proven weapon and was the training ground for Daz himself who raced across the Atlantic (and won!) in a boat just like this, Clarke's Active Air, the 3rd Dazcat. They say passion diminishes over time but here it just seems to gather momentum. We'll be bringing you much more on D-1's season soon. In the meantime enjoy this short, and you decide whether they're working, playing or simply trying to survive!!
