The BRUTAL Truth About Living on a Sailboat Full-Time ⛵ Everyone dreams of sailing into the sunset, but nobody talks about the toilet clogging at 2 AM or your fridge being smaller than a shoebox. I'm planning to live full-time on a sailboat, and here's what no one tells you until it's too late. THE DREAM vs. THE REALITY We all got into sailing for the same reasons - freedom, exploration, Monday morning swims instead of commutes, kiteboarding in paradise, and living in places that would normally cost thousands to visit. And yes, some of that is absolutely true. But there's a lot that gets in the way of that Instagram-perfect sailing life. What I cover in this brutal reality check: 🏠 Tiny living spaces - Your entire world becomes smaller than most bedrooms 🔧 Everything breaks constantly - Toilets, tables, sails, hull... EVERYTHING 🌩️ Weather controls your life - 95% of the time you're avoiding storms, not chasing sunsets 💪 Physical exhaustion - Hoisting sails, anchors, and balancing on a moving platform 24/7 🐟 Hunting your own food - Spear fishing beats grocery stores, but you're doing the work 📡 Internet nightmare - Even Starlink fails when you need it most 💸 Costs spiral out of control - Repairs, haul-outs, marina fees, gear, insurance... it adds up FAST 🧠 Mental challenges - Ocean crossings can take 50+ days of isolation THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT MONEY: Even if you budget perfectly, you'll spend way more than planned. I break down the real costs that sailing YouTubers don't want to talk about - because the reality is much more expensive than the dream. SO WHY DO IT ANYWAY? Because despite all the challenges, breakdowns, and exhaustion, it's still worth it for the freedom. Monday morning swims instead of office commutes. Fixing something meaningful instead of pushing paperwork. The exploration, the experience, the lifestyle that's completely different from anything on land. It's not perfect, but it's real. And that's exactly why this dream is worth chasing. What you'll learn: ✅ The real daily challenges of liveaboard life ✅ Why everything costs more than you think ✅ The physical and mental demands nobody mentions ✅ How weather actually controls your entire existence ✅ Why I'm still pursuing this lifestyle despite the challenges ✅ The mindset you need to handle ocean living My Journey: I'm documenting my entire path from no money, no sailing experience, and no boat to living full-time on the ocean. This isn't about selling you a fantasy - it's about showing you the complete picture so you can make an informed decision about whether this lifestyle is really for you. If you're considering a life at sea, this video will either scare you away (which might be a good thing) or prepare you for what's actually in store. Either way, you'll know what you're getting into.

From learning to fish on an 18-hour passage to backflips in remote anchorages, exploring centuries-old island forts, and facing 50-knot winds at anchor, this episode captures a real week on our liveaboard catamaran pretty well! If you have any suggestions to help improve our fishing skills, we’d love to hear them in the comments! After surviving a stormy arrival into France in our last episode, we continue our journey east along the Mediterranean coast, joined by Ruth’s brother Jack. With calm seas and steady wind, we set off on an 18-hour passage towards Marseille, hoping to dodge yet another weather system. With calm seas and steady wind, we got our fishing rods out and fished off the back of Runa for the first time, with high hopes of catching our dinner... We eventually anchored just off Marseille in the stunning Frioul Islands, one of the most beautiful spots we’ve stayed yet. But paradise didn’t last long… the weather caught up with us, and we had to prepare Rúna for nearly 50 knots of wind that was sweeping across the whole of the French coastline. Hey! We’re Ruth and Andrew 👋🏼 Earlier this year, after years of dreaming, we left our family, friends and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, behind as we set off to chase our shared dream of sailing the world. In April, we bought our 11m catamaran, Rúna, which we now call home as we live, work, sail and adventure full-time. Join us as we explore the Mediterranean and get to grips with life at sea 🏝️ Episode 13, Chapter One. 00:00 - 0:26 Recap 0:27 - 1:30 Warranty catch-up 1:31 - 3:51 Beginning our passage 3:52 - 8:55 Fishing and sailing 8:59 - 9:35 Sun Rise and Day two 9:36 - 11:38 Sailing in 30kts 11:39 - 14:06 Drone footage and Frioul Island 14:06 - 14:35 Diving for Mussels 14:35 - 16:04 56mph wind on anchor 16:04 - 16:31 Round up #fishing #sailingmediterranean #sailingcouple #liveaboardlife #catamaranlife #excess11 #storm #yachtlife #sailingpassage #StormAtSea #mediterraneansailing #SailingFrance #sailingcouple #sailingfrance #boatlife #liveaboardcatamaran #sailingcouple Find daily content on our socials: 📸 Instagram: http://instagram.com/lifestylegibbon 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/therunalife 🎥 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@therunalife 🎬 Huge thanks to @SAILTAHITI for sharing promo footage for our intro!

Alexis Loison and Jean-Pierre Kelbert’s JPK 1050 Léon has been crowned overall winner of the Rolex Fastnet Race. No other boat still racing on the 695 nautical mile course can catch the French doublehanded duo for overall honours in this, the 51st edition of the Royal Ocean Racing Club’s offshore classic. Loison and Kelbert have won the event in its centenary year. With a record 444 boats on the start line this year, ranging from 30ft keelboats up to the giant 105ft Ultim foiling trimarans, this offshore race is proving more popular than ever. The ingredients for winning remain the same: experience, courage, skill, a fast boat along with a soupçon of good fortune. In order to win the Fastnet Challenge Cup, you need to beat your rivals under IRC, the rating rule which is used in order to handicap different designs of keelboats of various shapes and sizes, allowing them to race together. The first battle is to win your division, and yesterday it became clear that Léon had prevailed in the 70-boat IRC Two fleet. Overnight it became increasingly clear that none of the remaining boats still on the race course would be able to beat Léon on IRC corrected time.

This is part two of an epic 11-day sailing adventure cruising the Pacific coast, SF Bay Area and the Sacramento Delta aboard my West Wight Potter 19, with not a single night in a marina. Transcript... We're off to an early start this morning. this time to catch the slack tide at the Carquinez Bridge Straight. So, I've completely lost almost all power on board. Now, I'll have to drastically curtail my use of the autopilot and the electronic charts. I'm fine with hand steering. It's just those occasions when you need to leave the helm that become a problem. Still, it's certainly good practice to learn to do without the autopilot. The loss of the electronic charts, however, could be much more of a problem in these confined waters. I'll resort to using the charts on the fish finder which are quote unquote not meant for navigational purposes. This peculiarity is still manned to this day. The wide open expanses of the Suisan Bay. Hoist sail me hearties? By the way, Pittsburgh Marina is great. I stopped there for gas, trash, and ice. Such nice, helpful staff. Heavy winds blew up around Bradford Island and caused me quite some consternation. After 4 days sailing back to back, I'm tired and the vessel is a mess. Somehow I prepare some food and eat and collapse into a heap. Well, it's the 4th of July, Independence Day. Jonah's anchor is staying put today, or at least I hope it is. Today is most definitely a rest day. The fine folks on that boat you just saw are holding a party tonight. The margaritas were plentiful and free. What can I say? Images are blurred to protect the less than innocent. It became a moving feast and I eventually ended up back at my boat. I've kayaked ashore to check out the levy. The surrounding farmland is some 20 ft below the top of the levy. I'm paddling over to explore the reed beds. Absolute chaos. Oh boy. Now I've hit something. I'm taking on water and the boat's behaving really weirdly. The keel is bucking all over the place and the boat will not head up into the wind. It's blowing 20 knots out there and an adverse current to boot. Something stuck to the keel. What to do? I raise the keel, but it's not enough. I realize I'm going to have to raise the keel higher than normal. This I do by moving the winch bolt lower onto the keel. And miraculously, it solves the problem. I return to mopping up the water. Boy, was that a relief. 12 bucks 80 for two gallons of gas. We're back sailing now and everything seems fine. The end of another testing day. I'm not sure how much type two fun I can take. Well, that's a mighty odd way for the anchor road to be. It's only gone and wrapped itself around the blooming keel. Jammed tight it is, and I cannot pull it free. Having a retractable keel has its benefits and the problem is solved with a quick bit of winching. First challenge of the day solved and so soon after breakfast. There's no getting around it. I've got a full day of motoring to Winward today. It's a bit rough out, shipmates. We arrive at Clipper Cove uneventfully, and I cook dinner.

This is the World on Water 2025 Rolex Fastnet Race special for August first. Spectators in their thousands swarmed Cowes Green and the shores of the western Solent to witness the starts of the 51st Rolex Fastnet Race. This year’s event marks the centenary of the first Fastnet Race that saw seven boats set sail from Ryde and finish in Plymouth in 1925. Fittingly the start saw a new record entry of 444 competitors, up from the previous largest of 430 in 2023, confirming the event as the world’s largest offshore race. With Cowes and the Solent overcast thanks to an occluded front, the starts took place beneath an overcast sky in a 10-12 knot southwesterly and a building ebb tide.  Our report starts with a race preview and then the race start. As dawn was showing its first rays off Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, so the sleek light blue triple-hulled form of the Ultim trimaran SVR Lazartigue sped across the finish line of the 51st Rolex Fastnet Race to collect overall line honours. Given this year’s relatively light winds, her time of 1 day 17 hours 18 minutes 4 seconds was well outside the 1 day 8 hours 38 minutes 27 seconds record time she set in 2023’s gale-force conditions. Skipper Tom Laperche commented: “The race was different, more strategic and tactical. The windiest part was 20 knots, whereas last year it was 35. Versus Banque Populaire, early on we made a good decision to go close into the English coast and managed to cross them coming back on starboard. We got in front. It was difficult returning from Fastnet to Scilly, because the wind was stronger behind, so they reduced their deficit. Since yesterday afternoon we knew that it will be tactical between the gybes when they have a good speed.” While little known outside of France, the Ocean Fiftys (ex-Multi 50s) are a trimaran class on the ascent with nine boats competing in the centennial Rolex Fastnet Race, as part of their annual calendar. Despite being a speedy box rule class they enjoyed some of the closest racing across the fleet. Highly surprising was just how competitive the doublehanded Ocean Fiftys demonstrated themselves to be in the Rolex Fastnet Race, with the leader reaching the Fastnet Rock on the transom of the MOD70 Argo and even the Ultims not fully shaking them off until they had passed Plymouth.  Exiting the Solent, Matthieu Perraut, and Jean-Baptiste Gellée, on the Neyhousser-designed Inter Invest led Erwan le Roux, and Audrey Ogereau, on the VPLP-penned Koesio out of the Solent alongside Banque Populaire, the mighty Ultim literally twice their length. That evening they passed Portland Bill, hanging on to the coattails of Actual Ultim 4, with Koesio now out in front heading deep into Lyme Bay. Inter Invest timed their tack back out of Lyme Bay better than the others, overtaking Koesio, but the whole class remained tightly grouped.  The French sailor Elodie Bonafous’ spectacular start to her career in the IMOCA Class continued today as she followed up second place in the Course des Caps earlier this month with her first victory in the Class in the Rolex Fastnet Race. Racing with French veteran Yann Eliès, alongside Basile Bourgnon and Gaston Morvan of France, Bonafous, 29, reached the finish line off Cherbourg in the early hours of the morning just eight minutes ahead of second-placed Jérémie Beyou and his team on Charal. Bonafous’ crew on board Association Petits Princes-Quéguiner had taken two days, 14 hours and 7 minutes to complete the highly technical 695-nautical mile classic course from Cowes on the English south coast to Cherbourg, via the Fastnet Rock off the southwest tip of Ireland. This year’s course was mainly upwind to the Rock and then downwind on the way back, as the six IMOCAs that completed the race sparkled close to the front of a Fastnet fleet of 444 boats.' Another heavyweight is currently prevailing in IRC One. In a truly impressive performance, the team on Australian Linda Goddard's Swan 53 cruiser Bedouin continues to hang on to first place in IRC One, ahead of several class favourites. These include past overall Rolex Fastnet Race winner Géry Trentesaux’s Sydney 43 GTS Long Courrier, who this year has been leading the RORC Season’s Points Championship, and Ed Bell and the Mark Spearman-led crew on the JPK 1180 Dawn Treader. Skippered by Linda Goddard, the Swan 53, Bedouin, representing Australia, has taken the top spot in IRC One, outperforming a highly competitive fleet in the 50–60 foot range. Racing with her daughters and close crew, Goddard’s campaign combined Corinthian spirit with impressive offshore performance to deliver a memorable class win in the centenary edition of the race. It was a truly impressive performance, for the team on Australian Linda Goddard's, Swan 53, cruiser, Bedouin.
