You can now find new Zircon models in 29mm sheaves and triple sheave versions of the 40mm and 57mm. New sizes make Zircon appropriate for control lines in multi-part purchases. And they react immediately. So, when the pressure gets light, and sailors want to ease that 24:1 cunningham they’ve rigged under the deck, it will move. Since the first tests, Zircon blocks have overcome inertia so easily, trimmers have reacted in fractions of time and sheet—creating better-matched sail shapes that increase boat speed. The update here is that now, they’re great for more than sheets. Learn more about the 29mm Zircons 👉 https://bit.ly/Zircon29mm
Don’t miss the Jason mind melting crash out over wild differences between premiums quoted during the boat insurance hunt he endured after buying Sol Seeker a 37’ Prout Snowgoose Elite to upcycled as a fully solar electric powered liveaboard. The rage is real in this one as he contends the insurance industry has become more like government mandated extortion rather than the safeguard service it was intended to be.
We just sailed 2,250 nautical miles from Chile to Panama and Zambezi gave it her all ⛵️ So did we. But here’s the truth: offshore sailing will always find your weak points. Here’s what didn’t survive: ⚙️ Steering wire 💥 Spinnaker (luckily @rollytaskersails_official is already working on our replacement 🙏) 🔩 Genoa shackle 🧩 Main sheet bloc 🛠 Engine acceleration lever 🐟 …and a shameful number of fishing lines 😅 No major damage, just a lot of salty lessons and toolbox hours. This is why preparation matters and why we carry way more spare parts than we used to. Tell us what’s broken on your longest passage? Or what spare would you never leave without? ⚓️ Want to feel more prepared? Comment “offshore” and we’ll send you our Offshore Sailing Bundle—real lessons, real tools, zero fluff. Stay Salty!
