When you're looking at buying a boat, use THE ULTIMATE SMELL Test - your nose. If it smells funky, it is funky. Trust your senses when assessing a potential sailboat to buy! This video highlights how your sense of smell can help detect issues like fuel leaks or problems with the blackwater system. Use your nose to identify potential problems in the dry bilge! Use your sense of smell to troubleshoot potential issues on your boat, such as fuel leaks or a faulty marine toilet. A gas smell or a fuel vapor could indicate a leak, while other smells might signal problems with the holding tank. Keeping a dry bilge is essential for a healthy boat!

We crossed the North Sea from the UK to the Netherlands on the 3+4 February 2022! It was a 33 hour sail trip, including 14 hours of night sailing. To experience how this is, I made a 25 seconds movie. So you have an idea of what you see during the night, or better: don’t see 😊. The red light is the left front of the boat and the green light is the right side of the boat. Also listen to the sound of the ship sailing in the dark! I send this movie to one of my uncles via WhatsApp and he replied, he thought his phone was broken when playing this movie, because his screen turned so dark!

Not with random tips, but with structured practice. In our 2-day training we drill the basics until they’re repeatable, then build real confidence with: crew communication, anchoring decisions, reefing + weather calls, and pressure drills. The biggest shift? You stop trying to look impressive and start being reliable. That’s what makes people trust you onboard. If your goal is to become a better skipper, reach out and let’s do it together.

En mer, la tempête est le plus grand des dangers, et le plus sublime des spectacles... Mais comment saisir les traits d'un phénomène par définition insaisissable ? En allant à la rencontre de ceux qui l'ont croisé, qui l'ont combattu, ou même cherché. Avec pour guides trois skippers du Vendée Globe, ce film nous entraîne au cœur du Golfe de Gascogne, en Afrique du Sud où surviennent les mystérieuses vagues scélérates, dans les Mers du Sud si redoutées des marins, et aux Etats-Unis où certains plongent au cœur des ouragans.
