🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [20/52] 🪢 These are the rules we have set up to feel safer on over night passages as we double hand our sailboat from point A to B. They enhance our chance to get a more peaceful sleep when you are not on watch, knowing that the other person is safe and still on the boat when you wake up. The person on watch must: 1. Wear the personal floating device at all times! 2. If needed to get up on deck, wake up the other one, and then tell when everything is done and you are safely back again. The person asleep does not need to get up, but will keep an ear out until all is done. 3. Hook the safety line to the boat when getting out of the cockpit. 4. Wake the other person up for operations like reefing the main and gybing. The person asleep must: 5. Set the alarm to wake up at the end of shift. Do you have any additional rules you would like to add? Let us know! Don’t forget to save this post and share it with a friend who needs to see this 🫶🏼

It’s part family bowrider, part performance-minded sport boat, part overnight cruiser but most importantly the incredible 327 SSX is a Chaparral through and through. We’ve never had a product introduction that was more anticipated or revolutionary. With its go-anywhere deep-V hull design, standard fiberglass hard top, striking liquid-silver interior, dual forward facing helm seats and wildly practical full beam cabin, the 327 is a game changer. Onboard, don’t bother looking at the capacity plate. It’s unlimited. Mood setting cockpit and hardtop lighting are accented with optional underwater lights. A stainless steel windshield and heavy-duty rails say quality everywhere you look. Attention to detail is beyond compare. Low hours on rebuilt upgrade 8.1 Volvo Gi. Flatscreen TV, Air/heat.

The danger of plastic pollution and its harmful effects on the planet’s wildlife and our own wellbeing – explained by kids. Every breath you take and every drop of water you drink comes from the sea. The ocean generates 50% of the oxygen we breathe, regulates the climate and is an essential source of food, energy and life. We produce nearly 300 million tons of plastic every year, half of which is single-use. We have developed a “disposable” lifestyle. Estimates are that around 50% of plastic is used just once and thrown away. Annually approximately 500 billion plastic bags are used worldwide. More than one million bags are used every minute. A plastic bag has an average “working life” of 15 minutes. Over the last ten years, we have produced more plastic than during the whole of the last century. It is estimated that 8 million tons of plastic pollute the Ocean each year – that’s a truck full of plastic produced every minute. We cannot deny that something is changing. If we continue this way, by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish (in weight). The good news is – it’s not too late! North Sails’ new video What About You? sends a powerful environmental message filled with a sense of personal responsibility for the destiny of our planet and future generations. It’s time to ask yourself: where do you stand? You too become part of the solution not part of the pollution.

The Dana 24 can accurately be described as “perfection in the just the right size”. Kalila is no exception. Pacific Seacraft is known for high quality construction, fixtures, and finishes. It’s this standard of excellence that has always set Pacific Seacraft apart from the rest.  The Dana 24 was designed to have the speed, balance, and comfort of the larger boats in the Pacific Seacraft family, and generate the same feeling of safety and security as a larger boat while underway. They are fast, responsive, comfortable, easy to sail, and very charming.  Kalila has clearly been loved by her previous owners. The cabin shows almost new and is incredibly spacious for a 24’ boat. The Dana has a 6’ 1” headroom and 6’ 6” length v-berth. The settees also convert to berths. Six ports add lots of light, and a cover on the stove adds plenty of workspace in the galley.  Kalila is powered by a Yanmar Diesel engine with 514 hours. Other features include Espar diesel forced air, Truecharge battery charger, and enclosed head. Sail inventory includes main sail, 100% jib, roller furling and 150% Genoa. Whether you are cruising or weekending, single-handing or with the family, Kalila is the ultimate sailing boat for the Pacific Northwest. The Dana 24 provides access to smaller anchorages without compromising sailing performance. When you climb aboard Kalila it clear that she possesses the highly regarded Pacific Seacraft quality.
