Day 1 of our 18-day countdown begins. It’s December 1st, and we’re still in Wrangell, Alaska, working nonstop to get the Alaskan Gypsy—our steel-hulled schooner—ready for a winter journey north. Our deadline? December 18th, when we pick up all five kids for Christmas break. We’re trying to get this boat from Southeast Alaska to Prince William Sound, which means traveling the entire Inside Passage and crossing the Gulf of Alaska in winter, one of the most notorious stretches of water known. The systems list is long: • Hydraulics acting up (no anchor without it) • Heater struggles in freezing weather • Water tank repairs • Minimal fuel on board • Deck still cluttered from shipyard • Radar issues • Autopilot not working • Endless little projects stacking up And yet… we’re moving forward. Sea trials, repairs, late nights, early mornings — whatever it takes. This trip isn’t just about the boat. It’s about family, Christmas, grief, healing, and starting a new chapter aboard a vessel that can finally fit all of us. It’s our first Christmas without Audrey’s brother, and getting to Prince William Sound matters in ways beyond words. Will we make it north in time? Will the weather cooperate? Can the Alaskan Gypsy handle a winter crossing? We’re sharing this 18-day journey in real time — mini updates, long-form videos, and regular live streams as we work toward Whittier and the family waiting on the other side. Subscribe and hit the notification bell if you want to follow along. And join us tonight for our LIVE update from the wheelhouse — we’ll answer questions and talk honestly about what Day 1 has felt like.

The all-female crew on The Famous Project CIC have set off on an attempt to capture the Jules Verne Trophy and break the round the world record. The Jules Verne Trophy, which is displayed at the National Maritime Museum in Paris, is the prize for the fastest circumnavigation of the world by any type of yacht with no restrictions on the size of the crew, provided the vessel has registered with the organisation and paid an entry fee. A vessel holding the Jules Verne trophy may not necessarily hold the absolute round the world record, although it currently does. It was initially awarded to the yacht which sailed around the world in less than 80 days, as per the Jules Verne novel Around the World in Eighty Days in which Phileas Fogg traversed the planet. The current holder is IDEC Sport skippered by Francis Joyon who completed the circumnavigation in 40 days, 23 hours, 30 minutes and 30 seconds, finishing on 26th January 2017. Joyon sailed 26,412 nautical miles at an average speed of 26.85 knots. Skippered by Alexia Barrier, with Dee Caffari as first officer, together with an international crew of six female sailors, The Famous Project CIC crossed the start line on the maxi trimaran IDEC Sport at 13.40 UTC on Saturday 29th November. To complete the course, they must round the three great capes: Cape of Good Hope, Cape Leeuwin, and Cape Horn. It is the first time since 1998 that there has been an all-female attempt at the record, when Tracy Edwards and crew on Royal & Sun Alliance were dismasted 2,000 miles from Cape Horn. You can follow the race via the tracker at https://trimaran-idec.geovoile.com/julesverne/2025/viewer/ #sailing #roundtheworld #trimaran '#recordattempt

Step aboard CLARITY, a 2009 Hylas 54 and one of the most proven and meticulously maintained bluewater cruising yachts of her generation. Designed by German Frers and built by Queen Long Marine, a family-owned third-generation shipyard that has been producing Hylas Yachts for over 40 years, this 54 blends elegant lines, structural integrity, offshore safety, and the signature “floating apartment” interior that has made the Hylas 54 one of the most desirable bluewater designs of all time. From her hand-laid solid fiberglass hull reinforced with Twaron aramid fiber, lead fin keel on stainless backing plates, and quality deck hardware to her offshore-capable rig with Selden electric in-mast furling, Furlex headsail furlers, and cutter configuration with staysail and running backs, CLARITY was designed and built for real-world passagemaking. Add in her Side-Power bow thruster (serviced 2024), 640 watts of solar with Blue Sky controller, Simpson Lawrence davits, Highfield RIB with 2023 Honda 15 hp, Newport 400 watermaker, certified Winslow life raft (2023), and full Raymarine touchscreen nav suite, and she delivers a fully dialed cruising platform that is truly “turn-key” for extended voyaging. Below decks, the interior showcases Hylas’s classic raised-panel teak joinery, recently refinished bamboo-and-teak soles (2023), Ultra-Leather upholstery, and excellent natural light and ventilation. The three-cabin, two-head layout—with separate stall showers in both heads—is ideal for cruising couples, family voyaging, or liveaboard life. The open salon features a newly refinished dinette table and U-line icemaker (both 2023), wine/liquor lockers, upgraded lighting, and abundant storage. The galley is equipped for serious cruising with Wah Lee stone countertops, Force 10 stove and oven, convection microwave (2023), Broan trash compactor, Frigoboat refrigeration/freezer, wine/beverage chiller, and thoughtful storage and fiddles throughout. Mechanically and electrically, CLARITY is set up for confidence offshore and low-stress ownership: a Yanmar 4JH3-DTE 125 hp diesel (~1300 hours) with recent injector, turbo, and valve service, a 6 kW Northern Lights generator (~750 hours), new Balmar alternator (2024), and an updated AGM battery bank (8 slimline AGMs, 2022) with dedicated engine and generator start batteries. Charging and power management are handled by dual Mastervolt chargers, Prosine 2.0 inverter/charger, dual Xantrex battery monitors, and robust 12V/110V distribution. Recent upgrades include Maxwell windlass (2023), Lewmar folding wheel (2024), cutlass bearing (2024), Flex-O-Fold prop, and fresh bottom paint and new zincs (August 2024), plus a full sail and winch service in 2023–2024. Modern communications and safety are covered with Starlink, KVH FB150 sat phone, AIS, EPIRB (2023), and Firebuoy automatic fire system (serviced 2023). CLARITY is offered by George Eberhard – David Walters Yachts, and presents an exceptional opportunity for a sailor seeking a ready-to-go Hylas 54 with constant, thoughtful upgrades, a well-documented service history, and the right equipment already installed for bluewater cruising.

Could you really live on a sailboat for just $20,000? In this episode, we’re building the perfect budget cruiser — the legendary Catalina 30 — and transforming it into a self-sufficient liveaboard for under twenty grand. We’re adding 800 watts of solar power, a 300 amp-hour lithium battery, fixing all the classic Catalina leaks, and finding used sails that still have plenty of miles left in them. It’s the affordable dream setup that proves you don’t need a million dollars to live on the water — just a bit of passion and a lot of butyl tape. Join me as I break down what to buy, what to fix first, and how to make a classic Catalina 30 into the perfect off-grid tiny home on the sea. The mission here at Lady K Sailing has always been to get more people sailing, more easily — and I couldn’t do it without the patrons who make these videos possible.

Today we had an absolutely perfect four-hour downwind sail from Anegada to Jost Van Dyke here in the beautiful British Virgin Islands. Conditions couldn’t have been better — blue water, steady breeze, and a happy crew enjoying every mile. Once we arrived at Jost Van Dyke, we headed straight for the famous Bubbly Pool, one of the coolest natural features in the BVI. It’s always fun watching the surge roll in and turn the whole spot into a natural jacuzzi! After exploring, we set sail again for a short hop over to Cane Garden Bay on Tortola. It’s one of my favorite anchorages in the islands — great beach, great food, and great company. We grabbed dinner, relaxed on the sand, and of course the ladies looked fantastic enjoying the sunshine and crystal-clear water. Thanks for joining us on another sailing adventure!

Episode 450 : My First Time Laser Sailing! Hello Friends, On this episode I make my way back to America to attend the Annapolis Boat Show with my first stop being in San Diego to see Victoria, get caught up on rest and computer work and to have a few local adventures before we head to Maryland. On this episode, Victoria takes me out for my first ever sail on a laser. Victoria has been sailing small boats for 35 years and regularly takes her laser out in San Diego Harbor. We had fantastic wind and sailed all the way out to Point Loma. We happened upon a Nuclear Submarine on the way!!!!

This is a short clip of a recent Gale in the North Atlantic halfway between Cape Cod and Bermuda. Wind speed at this point were in the mid 30's and seas were still building. This system lasted 48 hours and during the peak I had to hand steer for about 6 hours as the windvane couldn't keep the boat on a good heading. The thing to remember is this is 6 minutes of 48 hours, day and night winds above 34 knots. The only damage this time was a ripped spray skirt.

Ultra Fairleads and Soft Padeyes: https://www.practical-sailor.com/sails-rigging-deckgear/getting-a-grip-on-soft-padeyes The Beneteau First 30 isn’t just another 30-foot cruiser — it’s the Porsche 911 of sailboats.

The Mubadala Abu Dhabi SailGP was the final of 12 events in a busy and action packed season. Looking at the overall scoreboard going into the final weekend, on the face of it if you weren’t one of the top four teams there wasn’t much to play for. Barring a disaster Emirates Great Britain and the Kiwi Black Foils were pretty much guaranteed a place in the three boat grand final. This meant that the focus for the weekend was going to be between the formally dominant Australian Bonds Flying Roos and the defending champions the Spanish Los Gallos who would be fighting it out for the remaining spot. And yet Abu Dhabi was far more than that. New wings, new players and new dramas and more money on the table, this was an event that said more about how SailGP has developed and what it has become. And then there was the final race, 8 minutes with a $2million payout. Even then it wasn't straightforward. With all three finalists leading at some point on the course, the grand final was not only dramatic, but another perfect indication of a step change for SailGP. Here’s the PlanetSail review of the final event.
