Jim Murray and Steve Orlebeke talk about how they are preparing for the Sydney to Hobart Race and what makes their all-star crew invaluable as they race the Pac 52. Jim Murray and Harken’s own Steve Orlebeke remind us it’s the people who make this team what it is—a friends-and-family start turned professional racing campaign, powered by trust, time on the water, and a crew that’s built, not bought. 🎥: @SailorGirlHQ #Harken #AtTheFront -- Visit Harken 👉 https://bit.ly/Harken_

Sailing Sardinia as a family feels like stepping into another universe 🌊One where the water looks photoshopped, the islands glow like scattered jewels, and parenting suddenly gets… lighter. Before jumping in, Sienna did a full Australian safety scan:“Are there sharks?”“Any stingers?”“Crocodiles…?” 🐊 Fair questions when you’re raised around oceans that like to keep you alert.But in Sardinia? None of that applied. No danger briefing required. Just calm, clear water inviting us in. We explored the La Maddalena archipelago and were completely floored by the clarity of the sea. You could see straight to the bottom, every ripple and shadow, like floating over liquid glass. It was one of those moments where travel quietly rewires your nervous system. This video is a slice of family life under sail. Curiosity, courage, laughter, and that beautiful moment when fear melts into wonder. If you’ve ever dreamed of sailing the Mediterranean with kids, or just want to soak in some ocean magic, come aboard ⚓️✨

Did you know that the beautiful white sand on tropical beaches actually comes from fish? Meet the Parrotfish, the ocean's most unusual "sand factory"! Amazing facts from our dive: Sand Makers: While eating algae, they scrape off coral particles. A single fish can poop out up to 250 grams of sand a day and 90 kilograms a year!. Crunch Sound: They are so loud when nibbling on corals that you can hear the "crunch crunch" from many meters away underwater. Organized Swimmers: Interestingly, they gather in huge groups based strictly on their size. Constant Growth: Their teeth grow throughout their entire lives to handle all that coral scraping. Giant Species: The Humphead parrotfish can grow up to 1.3 meters in length. These fish are vital for the health of coral reefs all over the world! #Parrotfish #whitesand #oceanlife #naturefacts #underwater #coralreef #marinelife #diving #naturelovers #sandfactory #tropicalbeach #fishfacts #shorts #wildlife #ecology

"I honestly just want to explode into flames." That’s not the sound of someone quitting because of bad weather or boat costs. That’s the sound of a sailor who did everything right—showed up, worked hard, stayed humble—and still got shut out by the sailing community. In this video, we break down the harsh truth about Why Everyone’s Quitting Sailing: The Gatekeeping Problem: Why big-boat crews are locked circles that exclude talented newcomers. Ghosting Culture: The soul-crushing reality of being ignored by skippers after offering your time and effort. The Failed Leap: Why moving from dinghies to yachts is broken, leaving skilled sailors with no path forward. The Loneliness of Crew Hunting: Why the search for a boat feels more like begging than belonging. This is the raw reality behind the romantic Instagram shots. It's time to talk about why sailing stops loving you back. ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro: "I Want to Explode Into Flames" 01:42 1. Sailing’s Gatekeeping Problem 03:39 2.

This is it – the very first sail on my new-to-me Grinde! I travel to Friesland to pick her up. The previous owner takes the time to walk me through the boat and explains how everything works: quirks of the rigging, the electrical system, the quirks of the BetaMarine engine, and all the little details only an owner knows. Then, together with my good friend Gwen, we sail her all the way back to my home marina in Muiderzand. The water is that deep, dark green typical of the IJsselmeer, the wind is strong and gusty, and honestly… I’m a bit nervous. It’s been a while since I last sailed a boat single-handed. Do I still remember how everything works? Reefing, trimming, docking – it all comes rushing back. Join us for this exciting, sometimes tense maiden voyage: laughing, a few small mistakes, beautiful scenery and the pure joy of finally having my own boat. Now I can start the preparations of my circumnavigation. See next videos. 💙 Love my videos?

Lift. Speed. Control. - #welovespeed Season’s greetings and fair winds into the New Year 2026 Winter Letter The docks lie still, the rigging sleeps, Cold iron hums where silence keeps. Fingers numb, the water dark, Yet every sailor knows the spark. For when the snow begins to fade And light returns to wakes we’ve made, The mind runs fast to lifting hulls, To foils that fly, to driving pulls. We’ve watched the giants race on screen, Wing on wing, precise and keen— SailGP cuts the spray to air, The Cup reminds us why we dare. Not noise, not haste, but control and feel, A quiet rise, a lifted keel. Where wind and water, thought and hand Agree at last, and understand. So take these wishes, clean and true: A winter’s end, a clearer view. When spring returns with longer days, Choose how you move, choose how you play. May next year find you light, not bound, Above the chop, not fighting ground— Living the pull, the lift, the glide, Where sea and sky decide to side. With Christmas greetings, and the best For a new year boldly put to test. #sailing #catamarans #hydrofoil

Marcel Van Triest is one of the most respected weather routers in offshore sailing. For decades, he has worked alongside the world’s top sailors, guiding them through some of the most demanding ocean races and round-the-world campaigns. But Marcel is not only a race strategist, he is also a committed offshore cruiser, and the owner of an Outremer 45, built in Lorient, where his passion for sailing takes a more personal, long-term dimension. In this exclusive interview, Marcel looks back on his unique journey and shares his perspective on the fundamental differences between race routing and cuising routine. Two approaches, two mindsets but the same requirement for accuracy, anticipation, and trust in both the boat and the decisions made at sea. Why does weather routing go far beyond pure performance when sailing offshore for extended periods? How do you adapt strategy when the objective is not winning, but sailing far, safely, and sustainably? And why did the Outremer 45 naturally emerge as the right companion for this way of life at sea? Through the eyes of an expert and the experience of an owner, Marcel explains what makes this catamaran a true reference. Versatile, seaworthy, and well-balanced, the Outremer 45 perfectly embodies the DNA of the Outremer range earning its place today as the brand’s Iconic model.

Crosbie talked to navigator and meteorologist Will Oxley shortly after the ACSBWPS Cabbage Tree Island Race about SHK Scallywags preparations for the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and why being outgunned by Master Lock Comanche in the Cabbage Tree Island Race conditions that better suited her was not a concern for the Scallywag team, who used the opportunity to hone other areas of their performance. He also describes the close run contest for Line Honours in the 2025 Rolex Fastnet Race that played out between SHK Scallywag and Black Jack.

'Do you have a Christmas Tree on board?'. Absolutely, we have a Christmas Catamaran, fully decorated ;). Here is the video of the boat in the harbor, it really stands out!

Grant Wharington explains some of the recent upgrades to Wild Thing 100, most notably the taller mast. He also clarifies that while Wild Thing 100’s mast is shorter than the other 100 footers, her longer boom means that she carries a very similar total mainsail area. Listen out too for his explanation as to why the daggerboards on some 100 footers are more toe-in and others more toe-out.

Jim Murray who sails his TP52 Callisto out of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron has enjoyed a successful 2025 with the outstanding performance of his GP42 of the same name at the Admiral’s Cup in the UK, taking 2nd overall in Class 2 and finishing 8th overall in the Rolex Fastnet Race. His highly experienced crew includes Dean Barker, Stu Bannatyne, Ian Moore and Justin Ferris.

I achieved first light with a telescope on December 23, 2024. My father taught me 2 more things in his final weeks, how to assemble a telescope and how to make a proper cup of coffee.
