Lost track of time, lost track of Lisa, and found far more than expected. Big Farmers Cay pulled us in, then pulled us right back into boat work reality. In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel, I paddle off to explore the shoreline of Big Farmers Cay and get completely distracted by caves, beaches, gorgeous limestone and crystal clear water. While Captain Dave searches the mangroves wondering where I went, I eventually find my way back to turtles, rays, and beautiful sharks. Then it’s back to reality as I tackle emergency repairs on our badly torn trampoline. ⚠️ The lightning strike changed everything on Dark Angel, and we’re still rebuilding piece by piece.

Epic Navigator Control Line Maneuver Explained – A Core Skill Every Advanced Skipper Must Master Welcome to Epic Navigator In this video, we break down one of the most critical boat-handling skills for advanced skippers: the correct use of the Control Line. The control line is the line we usually send ashore first, most commonly from the stern and on the windward side, allowing us to balance the yacht against the wind and fully control its movement. This technique enables precise positioning of the boat , giving us maximum control even in challenging conditions. What you’ll learn in this video: -How and when to deploy the control line -Proper preparation of the line before throwing it ashore -The **lasso technique** for accurate and safe line handling -How to approach a quay using the control line -How to pivot and rotate the yacht around a fixed point (cleat/bit ashore) - Understanding and using the **pivot point** to control the boat’s movement This maneuver is a foundational skill for skippers who want to operate at a high technical level, whether on monohulls or catamarans.

#boatfoolssailing #sailboatreview #sailingboat #boattalk What Sold, What Sat, and Why. A Wild Year in Sailboats! (BoatFools 2025 Review) 2025 was a BIG year for BoatFools Sailing. Canadian Ken and Tris take a hard look back at the sailboats we profiled, the ones that sold, the ones that surprised us by not selling — and what it all says about the used sailboat market heading into 2026. This year, we toured 31 sailboats across the Maine - and one in Massachusetts. 👉 17 of them sold in 2025 — a 55% success rate (Slightly down from 2024’s 63%, but still strong in a shifting market.)

Tris and Josh had a killer 5-day cruise with great friends on 4 other boats in tow. Hopefully Canadian Ken can make 2026's cruise. Captain Alan Kew (Captain Q) joining the BoatFools crew. We profiled 3 boats together and had a ball. More to come! The launch of The BoatFools Report - nearly 4,000 subscribers strong! Thank you. Growth of our Boat Buying Consulting Business with Captain Kew. Between the 4 of us, we have nearly 200 years of collective sailing experience. New friends, great laughs, and some truly beautiful boats. This video isn’t just a recap — it’s a real-world look at what actually moves boats, what doesn’t, and what buyers should be thinking about next. ⚓ Thanks to all of you who watch, comment, support, and share. You make BoatFools possible. Happy Holidays to All! See you in 2026.

Boat building is generally old hat and all been done before. As boat builder I’m bored and I’m choosing fresh ideas to spice up my own build. With a goal to take electric sailing as far as I can I’m searching every inch of our industry for ideas that will help me on this journey. This week I’m exploring alternatives to traditional sails, anchoring solutions all the way from ropes, to anchors and a 48v windlass from leading manufacturer Lewmar. Ditching the chart plotter in search of a more future friendly solution? Yes, it can be done… is it a good idea? Let’s find out… That’s the whole point here, a constant experiment… #boat #45 #boatbuild #boatbuild #sailing #arcticsailing #boatbuildproject #aluminiumboat #boatparts #sailingboat #boatbuilding #electricboat #electricyacht #kite #aluminium -------------------- Learn more from other reviews/videos out there about some of the gear Chris mentions: SeaJet Silicon AntiFowl- PBO Article: https://www.pbo.co.uk/projectboat/seajet-bioclean-silicone-antifoul-review-77824 MJ Sasiling YT Video: https://youtu.be/wus9JbqwWHo?si=B70Zkxbq-i9ORMh6 21kg Ultra Anchor- https://youtu.be/CJtMJrK9UZ4?si=Dx8zmOL1WieX8uwD https://youtu.be/1SZgxLZ--jk?si=uDkCqERWD7e0cQhi Orca- Sailing Fair Isle YT Video: https://youtu.be/D6anZqLut9k?si=NZ2CqrE8dD0FgR7Y Liberty Kite- Trial Video: https://youtu.be/T_oVOhGRqXo?si=eGQrz5IzZJyVWgyU Nyalic- https://www.nyalic.com/Aluminum-Boats_c_42.html OneTuffTinny YT Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD561aHwF4s --------------- Questions???

SHIPWRECKED. ROBBED. THEN CHASED BY PIRATES Thank you for helping keep us afloat and supporting the creative process. You can be part of the crew for less than the price of a coffee. You can do so here: - Patreon https://www.patreon.com/CruisingKiwis - Paymate https://www.kerryhamilltrust.com/donate/ - PayPal using our email thecruisingkiwis@gmail.com Sailing the remote waters of Brazil has been intense and a lesson in rolling with the punches. After surviving a devastating shipwreck and robbery, our new crew was hoping for a safe passage north from the Amazon Delta to French Guiana. However, without warning, a fast moving boat appeared from nowhere and began following us. What started as concern quickly turned to fear as the pursuit continued for over 40 minutes. In this episode, we share an unsettling moment in our sailing life, navigating a suspect pirate encounter in one of the least patrolled stretches of ocean in South America. This is the reality of long distance sailing, where adventure, risk and resilience collide.

From careful route planning to dodging humpback whales in Hervey Bay, this passage demanded patience, preparation, and constant awareness. In this video, we share how we chose our route south from Bundaberg, why depth matters so much through the Straits, and how tools like Queensland’s Beacon to Beacon Guide helped us navigate safely. It’s a fascinating stretch of water — beautiful, challenging, and unlike anywhere else we’ve sailed. After wrapping up this final passage aboard Te Tāiko, we return to New Zealand for a while — still travelling, still exploring, and still sharing our life by land and sea.

Recorded March 8 & 9, 2025. She Tells Sea Tales is an annual event by Northwest Maritime that provides a welcoming and safe space for all women to share their connections to water. Proceeds from the event help support the Northwest Maritime’s women- and girls-centered educational maritime programs, including the Girls’ Boat Project. Join us in Port Townsend on March 7, 2026 for the next edition of this beloved event. Meegan Corcoran started her maritime career when she joined the US Navy in 2002. She served for 8 years and got out to pursue her dreams of being a marine biologist. That sort of happened when Meegan started working at Friday Harbor Labs as their Manager of Marine Operations where she oversaw their research vessel and science at sea. From there, Meegan was promoted to Port Captain for the University of Washington where she managed the global research vessel Thomas G Thompson and the R/V Rachel Carson. In that position, Meegan traveled to 13 countries and collected some harrowing experiences. Today, Meegan works for UNOLS as the Crewing Manager for the US Academic Research Fleet and helps oversee the operations of 18 research vessels nationwide. ABOUT NORTHWEST MARITIME Northwest Maritime (NWM) engages and educates people of all generations in traditional and contemporary maritime life, in a spirit of adventure and discovery.  Based in Port Townsend, WA, NWM serves the entire Puget Sound with a variety of maritime educational programs for individuals, groups, and schools; career and professional training; and flagship events like the Race to Alaska, Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival, and others. Learn more and support our programs at www.nwmaritime.org.

As wide multi-hull sailors, we don't have many boatyards to choose from when time to haul out. When we contacted the Wik in Sorong, Raja Ampat, we decided to give it a go. We thought it would be a quick haul-out but it turned out quite differently as you will discover. Filmed in 2024. Look on www.TropicalSailingLife.com for more about our boat and voyage.

The SS Leviathan, formerly the German SS Vaterland, was launched on April 3rd, 1913 by the Hamburg America Line and was requisitioned by the United States during World War 1. She was the largest American ocean liner yet and promised to help establish the newly founded United States Lines. Unfortunately, despite her popularity, she never lived up to her potential.

Ensuite, place à la préparation de la soirée, car les bateaux copains Plan BCD et TIAMA viennent dîner à bord ⛵❤️ Au programme : soirée crêpes, salées et sucrées 🥞 Après avoir fait sauter les crêpes, direction l’eau avec les enfants pour un bon moment d’amusement… jusqu’à ce que Mathis se prenne le plus gros plat de sa vie en tentant un salto avant 🤣 D’ailleurs, c’est lui-même qui suggérera le titre de la vidéo : 👉 “Le plus gros plat de Mathis” 😂😂 Le lendemain, on me retrouve en route pour Bequia en annexe, pour un nouveau projet d’amélioration du bateau. Cette fois, il s’agit du cover de l’annexe, et pour le coup, on fait appel à des professionnels… parce qu’il faut aussi savoir reconnaître ses limites 😅 Aujourd’hui : prise de cotes et confection du patron.

Along the way, we’ve experienced both highs and lows, incredible sailing days and challenging conditions, met amazing people, and created memories we’ll cherish forever. ❤️ Before returning home, we spend time exploring Galicia, slowing down after months at sea, and working on some wanted boat upgrades and fixes. We already can’t wait to be back next year, when our journey continues and we finally enter the Mediterranean.⛵️ 📍 Route: Viveiro (Spain) to A Coruña (Spain) 🧑‍✈️ Crew: Erik, Linn & Nora the dachshund If you're new to our channel, welcome! 🩵 We’re Linn and Erik, a Swedish couple in our late 20s who quit our jobs, rented out our apartment, and set off to sail from Stockholm to the Mediterranean together with our sausage dog. We started the journey in our unique 33 foot sailboat from 1980, which we sold in Kiel, and luckily one week after we bought a new boat, a Bavaria 37, from 2000 more suited for our adventures ahead. 🔔 If you love real-life sailing stories and adventures where we learn as we go, don’t forget to subscribe and join us on the journey! 🎬 Check out our playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW5XfQ-xoWeiR4Qz3KvF2MUCGtbJkeKH1&si=PukfUHKAogVbThtg 📱 Follow us on Instagram for more updates: https://www.instagram.com/sailanddoxie/ #sailing #sailinglife #sailboat #adventure #boatlife #lifestyle #sailors

Day 38, Solo NonStop Circumnavigation: Today was quiet, cinematic, and lazy. It’s August 31st; 2025. We’re mid Atlantic, finally south of the ITCZ, heading towards the equator. 2,055 miles from the start (Grenada). 0 engine hours have been used since setting sail. WILL ANSWER ALL COMMENTS WHEN I HAVE SERVICE! ❤️ My name is Captain Kimmer. After tri-outs: sailing across the Atlantic without any navigation equipment, just my eyes and the stars, we’re on mission 1 of 3. A Solo NonStop Circumnavigation with a twist! I hope you enjoy the show. 🐶 ♋️ The Bravest Dog in the World Is About to Change It. Help Us Get There. I’m Captain Kimmer, Kimmer O’Reilly — sailor, survivor, and founder of a mission that shouldn’t be possible. Two-time blood cancer nearly took my life. When I survived, I expected joy. What came instead was an identity crisis. I didn’t know who I was anymore — just that the old me was gone. Then came Casper — my service dog, my best friend, my reason to fight forward. Now, Casper and I are doing something no one believes can be done: a nonstop solo circumnavigation of the globe… starting from the wrong side. We’re sailing east, into the wind and current, through the Southern Ocean and past the Cape of Good Hope — proving that after cancer, life isn’t over. It can be better than it ever was. But we’re not just breaking records. We’re launching a nonprofit to help cancer survivors rediscover purpose, identity, and joy. This GoFundMe isn’t just to keep our sails full. It’s to build something that lasts long after we return. Donate today — not just to help Casper and me sail around the world, but to help thousands of survivors believe they can start again. Let’s show the world what’s possible. 👉 https://bit.ly/BravestDogInTheWorld 🎼 🎵 MUSIC: 🎵 🎼 INTRO: Song: Chime & Nytrix - RunawayMusic provided by NoCopyrightSoundsFree Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/CN_Runaway OUTRO: Song: Coopex, KHEMIS - If Looks Can Kill [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/IfLooksCanKill Watch: http://NCS.lnk.to/IfLooksCanKillAT/youtube

Making Sense of Marine Chain Standards: https://www.practical-sailor.com/sails-rigging-deckgear/anchoring-mooring/making-sense-of-marine-chain-standards Are you relying on anchoring advice that could put your boat on the beach? In today’s video we’re diving deep into the dangerous anchoring myths that continue to circulate in the cruising world — myths that have literally caused boats to drift ashore, drag in squalls, and end up smashed on reefs. Whether you're a new cruiser or a seasoned liveaboard, there are anchoring “rules of thumb” that sound helpful… but are completely wrong. Today we’re breaking down: – Why you actually need chain, and how much is REALLY enough – The myths about catenary, scope, and “just throw out more rode” – Caribbean anchoring realities (100–300 feet of chain is normal!) – Why mixed rode isn’t always safer – The hidden dangers of old or mismatched chain – Windlass mistakes that cause groundings – The anchor-alarm misconceptions that let boats drift into shore We’ll also reference real anchoring research, expert articles, and real-world cruising experience to help you anchor more safely and avoid becoming the next boat washed up on the beach. If you anchor, cruise, or live aboard — this is a “must watch” before you trust your ground tackle again.

In this episode, we moved up to the northwest corner of Taha’a to stage for our sail to Huahine the next day. What followed was anything but ordinary — from a rough encounter with a local, to a joyful reunion with friends, and even a priest’s blessing for Blown Away! Don’t miss this episode. #raiatea #priest #taha’a #huahine #friends #sailing NEW TO OUR CHANNEL? We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we had very NO sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia. So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you. We are so glad you have decided to join us, and we hope that you will find our story so compelling that it will inspire you to chase your dreams too! As a viewer, we consider you to be part of our family and look forward to getting to know you. Don't hesitate to comment on our videos and ask questions. We will do our best to answer every correspondence! All we ask is that you have patience with us as we work really hard to improve our camera/video techniques and ability to tell a story.

After our generator was stolen, it became clear that being remote doesn’t automatically make you safe. It just means help is a long way away if something goes wrong. So in this episode, I’m finally taking security seriously and putting systems in place to stop a future intruder before they ever get close. This isn’t about paranoia or turning our land into a fortress. It’s about being realistic, learning from a hard lesson, and protecting the tools and equipment that let us build this homestead and document the process. I walk through my security strategy in order of priority — explaining why each step matters and showing exactly what I’m installing as I go. If you live on a rural property, store tools on site, or are building far from town, this is the side of homesteading people don’t talk about enough. New to the channel?

LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT - VOTE Yes if you think the Transom doors are safe and NO if you think they are NOT!!! WATCH - https://youtu.be/_wK55agpLYk Are transom doors on Portofino catamarans a brilliant innovation… or a serious offshore risk? 🌊⚠️ In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of the most debated design features of the Portofino 52 catamaran — the aft transom doors that give incredible sea access, but also sit directly in the firing line of following seas and breaking waves. We ask the hard questions every offshore sailor should ask: • Can transom doors leak in heavy seas? • Could they fail catastrophically in extreme conditions? • Are storm boards really necessary — or outdated? • How strong is 15mm acrylic (Perspex) when it’s wave-slammed? • What happens to acrylic after years of sun exposure? To get real answers, we go straight to the source — Rafael, the designer — and break down the engineering, materials, certifications, drainage systems, gaskets, aluminum frames, and wave-impact design behind these doors. This isn’t theory. This is real-world boatbuilding, explained in detail. You’ll also learn: ✔️ Why these doors are RINA-certified watertight ✔️ How pressure from waves actually seals the door tighter ✔️ Why the dive room acts as a coffer dam for safety and buoyancy ✔️ The hidden long-term danger of UV-damaged Perspex ✔️ Why older boats fail — and modern ones don’t We finish by putting the decision back to you. 👉 Would you trust these transom doors offshore? 👉 Storm boards: Yes or No?

In this episode dive into the history of these boats and the interesting story about the stolen design. We also dive into the front lockers and find a lot of useful and useless stuff. #boatlifeisbest -------------------------------------------- Welcome to Boatlife is best. We bought a cheap and neglected 49ft Performance catamaran for just $52.500. It is an Ocean Cat 49 built in 2000, and we are in the process of refitting it and getting it sailing again so we can continue our voyage around the world. Hop along for the ride while we try and give this incredible boat a second chance at life and finally crossing some oceans. Fixing stuff along the way and creating an incredible floating home.

Salve amici, in questo video tutorial vedremo come eliminare la fastidiosa bolla d'aria presente all'interno della bussola della nostra barca a vela ed effettuare il rabbocco del liquido della bussola ( palstimo orizon 135 ) elimineremo la bolla d'aria presente all'interno della bussola utilizzando del semplicissimo olio per corpo (olio minerale ultra raffinato o paraffina liquida) vedremo step by step come rimuovere la bussola dalla chiesuala della barca, come riempire il mortaio con l'olio minerale e come rimontare il tutto. Prima di eseguire il rabbocco però, è sempre necessario conoscere che tipo di liquido è gia presente all'interno della bussola, se a base di acqua distillata ed alcool o se a base di oli minerali, poichè non si possono mescolare liberamente olio minerale, acqua e alcol, perché sono liquidi con densità e polarità diverse (immiscibili), che tendono a stratificarsi senza formare una soluzione omogenea, compromettendo la stabilità e la precisione dell'ago della bussola. Le bussole richiedono liquidi specifici (per i modelli più datati di bussola di solito acqua e alcol al 20% circa, paraffina liquida, olio di vasellina leggero nei modelli più recenti) In ogni caso se si deve procedere alla sostituzione completa del liquido, meglio usare una miscela già pronta o indicata dal produttore. per effettuore il rabbocco nelle mie bussole di bordo io ho scelto l'olio per il corpo ( jhonson baby) perchè è di semplice reperibilità, costa pochissimo e soprattutto non è aggressivo con i componenti interni della bussola ne con le mani mentre lo utilizziamo. le soluzioni per la scelta del liquido più adatto per il rabbocco sono molteplici, ma io preferisco questa poichè è la più economica e sicura. si tratta di un semplice lavoro di manutenzione ordinaria per la nostra barca, facile da eseguire con pochissimi attrezzi. buon vento! #vela #bussola #liquidobussola 🤳 Seguimi anche su Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/alfredcuoreditenebra/ ✅ Iscriviti al canale 👉 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCftpETgzeEnw-CBS7vU-H_A ✅ Puoi sostenere il mio canale ABBONANOTI o con una donazione PAYPAL 👉 https://paypal.me/alfredocontaldo 🏕 Dai un' occhiata anche il mio canale dedicato a trekking & Hiking 🏞 👉 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtewIvARQzFQCAcgCbPqS9Q
