What really makes a motor yacht safe, comfortable and capable of crossing oceans, not just surviving them?  Sue sits down with legendary designer and lifelong cruiser Steve Dashew to talk about FPB explorer yachts, and why not every metal boat in the anchorage is created equal. Now retired from full time yacht building, Steve and Linda have swapped FPB commissioning for land yachting in Arizona, photography, and a very serious Ford truck and camper project. But Steve is still studying hulls, watching the America’s Cup, advising quietly in the background and thinking deeply about what makes a truly capable long range cruiser. Drawing on hundreds of thousands of sea miles, including Greenland, the South Pacific and long upwind slogs that most of us try to avoid, Steve explains why their approach was always “cruisers first, designers second” and how that changed the shape of FPB. A core theme in this episode is the importance of consistently high average speed at sea. Many boats can post an impressive top speed in flat water, but very few can maintain meaningful pace through crossing sea states, head seas, or long downwind passages. Steve explains why average speed, not peak speed, is the fundamental pillar of safe passagemaking.  A yacht that can reliably deliver consistently high average speeds unlocks shorter passage times, the ability to ride or outrun weather systems, and, most importantly, a calmer, more predictable experience for the crew. Comfort and safety are not separate ideas; they are linked directly to whether a boat can keep moving fast while keeping motion under control. In this conversation, we dig into: • Steve explains how maintaining 10–11 knots in real ocean conditions lets you stay with favourable systems, avoid the worst of storms, and dramatically reduce fatigue on passage. As he says, “If you can keep your average up, the weather works for you. If you can’t, it works against you.” • Why explorer style yachts have exploded in popularity, and why many look like FPBs but do not behave like them when the barometer falls. • The idea of yacht design as a zero sum game, where every interior gain, hull tweak or fashion line has a direct impact on motion, steering control and safety. • How to evaluate an explorer yacht if you are planning serious miles: why you should sea trial in ugly weather, insist on going out when the broker would rather stay alongside, and look closely at the people behind the design. • The difference between a boat that “can take it” and a crew that actually wants to keep going. As Steve puts it, successful cruising is about being mentally and physically comfortable, not just structurally safe. • The story behind FPB 83 WIND HORSE. Steve and Linda staked their own money and miles on a radical concept that many experts said would not work. Tank testing, CFD and ratios got them part of the way, but the real proof came after 15,000 to 20,000 miles at sea. • Why steering control is everything offshore. FPBs are designed to surf safely at speed, why many owners are initially afraid to do so, and how average speed around 10 to 11 knots lets you work with weather systems instead of being punished by them. • The trade off between interior volume and true seagoing ability. If you care about long range cruising, motion comfort, or are quietly shopping for an explorer yacht that can really cross oceans, this is a conversation worth your time. Steve is candid about risk, generous with hard won lessons and very clear on one thing: it is much safer, and far more fun, to go fast in control than to go slowly and suffer.

Whitstable Shipwright and boat builder Ron Barton established R.S.J. Barton in 1948, and was one of the first to use the fabric based laminated plastic Tufnol and stainless steel to manufacture yachting blocks which were much lighter and stronger than previously achievable. Based at Whitstable, Kent in the UK, Barton Marine produces sailing and yachting fittings which are used around the world, and continues to innovate, also designing and manufacturing hardware used outside of the marine industry. CEO Suzanne Blaustone shows us around the factory, and we meet some of the team to find out about their roles and why they love working at Barton Marine.

This week didn’t exactly go the way we planned. 😅 What started as a normal few days of ticking off boat jobs in Phuket turned into a hospital visit after Archie had a heavy landing while wing foiling. The X-ray confirmed a couple of broken bones… and if that wasn’t enough, the boat decided to throw us a handful of surprises too. From clutch cone issues to watermaker failures, this was one of those curveball weeks where everything popped up at once. We also talk openly about how we handle medical care abroad without medical insurance — why we self-insure, what care looks like in Thailand, and how we navigate the unexpected while living full-time on our boat with four kids. But after a week of challenges, Archie finally got the all-clear, and we lifted the anchor to explore some of Thailand’s stunning islands… exactly the kind of reset we needed. 💛⛵️ Come along for the ride — the highs, the lows, the breakdowns, and the beautiful moments in between. ⸻ 🌊 Join Our Sailing Family Adventure!

In dieser Episode des OLP Ocean Life Podcast nehmen dich Clemens Stecher und Claus Aktoprak mit in ein Thema, das oft unterschätzt wird: Kommunikation an Bord. Es geht um all das, was Skipperinnen und Skipper abseits von Manövern und Wetterrouting können müssen, damit ein Törn wirklich rund läuft. Clemens erzählt, wie er seine Ocean-Life-Törns versteht: Er bietet keine „Wunschliste“ für jede beliebige Crew an, sondern beschreibt seine eigenen Traumtörns und lädt Menschen ein, ihn dabei zu begleiten. Genau dort beginnt Kommunikation – in der Ausschreibung. Wer zu viel verspricht, riskiert Enttäuschungen. Deshalb formuliert er Ziele bewusst im Konjunktiv, verweist auf Wetterabhängigkeit und macht klar: Es gibt einen Traumpfad, aber keine Garantie auf Wale, Starkwind oder bestimmte Häfen. Ein zentraler Punkt ist die Willkommensrunde an Bord. Bevor Leinen losgehen, gibt es Kaffee, Kekse – und klare Worte. Clemens spricht offen über unterschiedliche Hintergründe, Eigenheiten und Erwartungen. Er legt Wert darauf, dass sich alle vorstellen, ihre Erfahrung und Wünsche teilen und dass Toleranz und Selbstwahrnehmung als Basis definiert werden. Wohlfühlen ist für ihn kein Luxus, sondern Teil des Sicherheitskonzepts: Nur wer sich an Bord sicher und respektiert fühlt, kann Leistung bringen und damit zur Sicherheit beitragen. Im Gespräch geht es auch um typische Konfliktfelder: Mitsegler, die nur „mitfahren“ wollen, während andere ständig anpacken wollen. Erfahrene Segler, die meinen, alles besser zu wissen. Paare, die ihre gewohnten Beziehungsmuster mit aufs Boot bringen und sich gegenseitig blockieren. Clemens zeigt, wie er mit klaren Rollen, definierten Bordregeln und bewusster Aufgabe-Verteilung arbeitet – und warum er Paare im Training manchmal sogar auf zwei Boote trennt, damit beide sich ohne ständige Kommentare entwickeln können. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist Feedback. Statt nach einem missglückten Manöver Vorwürfe zu verteilen, setzt Clemens auf Fragen: Was ist passiert? Was würdest du nächstes Mal anders machen? So entsteht ein Gespräch, in dem die Lernenden selbst Lösungen formulieren, unterstützt durch Skizzen oder Erklärungen dort, wo Wissen fehlt. Ergänzend dazu erklärt er die sogenannte „Closed-Loop-Kommunikation“, bei der wichtige Kommandos wiederholt werden, um Missverständnisse bei Kursangaben oder Manövern zu vermeiden. Zum Schluss sprechen die beiden über das Skipper-Consulting-Programm von Clemens. Dort arbeitet er mit Skippern nicht nur an Manövern, sondern vor allem an diesen Soft Skills: klare Ansagen, Feedback-Techniken, Crew-Führung, Umgang mit Konflikten. Denn am Ende entscheidet nicht nur das Segelkönnen darüber, wie ein Törn in Erinnerung bleibt – sondern vor allem, wie man miteinander spricht. Keypoints • Warum ehrliche Ausschreibungen und realistische Formulierungen schon vor dem Törn Erwartungskonflikte vermeiden • Wie eine strukturierte Willkommensrunde und klar definierte Bordregeln aus Fremden eine Crew machen • Welche typischen Konflikte zwischen Anfängern, erfahrenen Seglern und Paaren an Bord entstehen – und wie man sie entschärft • Wie gute Feedback-Gespräche und „Closed-Loop-Kommunikation“ Sicherheit und Lernkurve an Bord erhöhen • Welche Rolle Skipper-Coaching spielt, um aus guten Seglern echte Führungspersönlichkeiten auf See zu machen--- Egal, ob Ihr einhand segelt, mit einer Crew unterwegs seid oder gerade erst mit dem Segeln beginnt – dieser Podcast liefert Euch fundiertes Wissen und praktische Einsichten, die auf dem Wasser Gold wert sind.
