I break down double engines, wider marina fees, haul-out problems, rigging, insurance and hidden repair costs—and why the extra comfort and space can come with bills that shock even experienced sailors. 00:00 Intro 00:42 The "double everything" tax 01:47 Haul-out scarcity and wide-beam premiums 03:01 Antifouling — twice the hull, twice the cost 03:59 Marina beam fees 05:05 Insurance multipliers 06:09 The overloading trap 07:19 Saildrive maintenance 08:20 Specialized rigging costs 09:19 Remote repair logistics 10:06 The gap between charter experience and ownership reality 11:05 Ending Copyright Disclaimer This video may contain copyrighted material used under the “fair use” doctrine (Section 107, U.S. Copyright Law) for purposes such as education, commentary, and analysis.

In this episode, we continue our Boatyard Blues series as Te Tāiko’s rudder rebuild enters its final stages. After discovering significant corrosion in our rudder stock, what began as a routine maintenance haul-out turned into one of our most stressful boat repairs we’ve faced since setting sail through the South Pacific. Join us as we make progress on the new rudder stock, complete electrical continuity testing to ensure the rudder is connected to a sacrificial anode for corrosion protection, continue antifouling the hull, reinstall the rudder, and prepare for splash day. Living aboard a sailboat means the adventure doesn’t stop when the sails come down. Behind every ocean passage, remote anchorage, and new destination is the maintenance, planning, and problem-solving that keeps a cruising yacht safe and seaworthy. Whether you enjoy sailboat refits, boatyard projects, yacht maintenance, liveaboard life, offshore sailing, cruising adventures, boat repairs, travel by sailboat, or simply following our journey aboard Te Tāiko, we hope you’ll come along for the ride. From New Zealand to the islands of the South Pacific and now Australia, we’re sharing both the highlights and the hard work that make this lifestyle possible. Subscribe and follow our journey as we continue travelling by land and sea, exploring new places, overcoming challenges, and preparing Te Tāiko for the adventures still to come. #SailingLife #BoatWork #BoatyardLife #SailboatMaintenance #CruisingLife #Liveaboard #SailingAdventure #YachtRepair #SailboatRefit #OffshoreSailing #BoatProjects #TravelVlog #AdventureTravel #Australia #TeTaiko #LiveaboardLife As always, thanks for watching.

Before you list it on YachtWorld, Boat Trader, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or with a yacht broker, there are several things you should do first if you want your boat to sell faster and avoid losing thousands during survey and negotiation. In this Practical Sailor episode, we walk through a complete sailboat seller’s checklist, including how to price your used sailboat, whether to sell privately or use a broker, what paperwork and maintenance records to gather, what to clean, what to fix, how to prepare for survey and sea trial, and how to write a better boat-for-sale listing that builds buyer confidence. Whether you’re selling a Catalina, Hunter, Beneteau, Jeanneau, Island Packet, Tartan, C&C, Pearson, Sabre, or any other used cruising sailboat, this guide will help you prepare your boat before it goes on the market. We cover sailboat staging, decluttering, engine presentation, bilge cleaning, listing photos, disclosure, survey issues, price negotiation, included gear, and closing paperwork so buyers know exactly what they’re looking at. If you’re getting ready to sell a sailboat, list a used boat, work with a yacht broker, or prepare for a marine survey, this checklist will help you make the boat easier to trust, easier to inspect, and easier to buy. Practical Sailor is your trusted resource for reviews of sailboats and sailing gear. https://www.practical-sailor.com Chat with us on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/PracticalSailor/ https://sailorsahoy.com/reels/watch/2026-sanctuary-cove-international-boat-show-come-with-us-to-explore-the-boat-show-episode-120_aOeI2PAqOxS4ohe.html Fri, 29 May 2026 22:00:29 +0000 https://sailorsahoy.com/reels/watch/2026-sanctuary-cove-international-boat-show-come-with-us-to-explore-the-boat-show-episode-120_aOeI2PAqOxS4ohe.html Hi and welcome aboard @SailingAstridTheWombat We are Gav and Shezz and two and a half years ago we bought our Beneteau Oceanis 430 sailboat with absolutely no sailing experience and jumped straight into the deep end of liveaboard sailing. Our very first passage was just over 700 nautical miles, launching us headfirst into the world of bluewater cruising, learning to sail, and real life at sea. Since that moment, we’ve been fully immersed in boat life, documenting the journey of turning a production cruising sailboat into a capable, self-sufficient home as we prepare for full-time liveaboard life. From major sailboat upgrades and off-grid power systems to everyday maintenance and skills building, we’re learning what it truly takes to own, sail, and live on a boat while working toward our goal of sailing around the world. If you’re into sailing adventures, beginner sailing, sailboat ownership, cruising lifestyle, and traveling the world by sailboat, our journey is all about real-time learning, ocean freedom, and building the confidence to chase long-term world cruising under sail. Join us as we explore the incredible 2026 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, one of the biggest and best boating events in Australia! In this episode of our liveaboard sailing adventure, we take you on a full walk-through of the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show, checking out the latest sailboats, catamarans, marine technology, sailing gear, boat accessories, and everything a cruising sailor dreams about before setting off to sail around the world. As liveaboard sailors preparing for full-time cruising, this boat show visit was more than just a fun day out. We were on a mission to gather information, advice, and parts to finally get our water maker system up and running on our sailboat. Reliable fresh water production is one of the most important systems for long-term liveaboard life, offshore sailing, and world cruising, so we dive deep into the world of marine desalination, water maker maintenance, and boat systems while speaking with experts at the show. If you love sailing, boats, cruising, yacht life, liveaboard living, or dream of travelling the world by sailboat, this episode is packed with inspiration, useful information, and an inside look at one of the top international boat shows in the boating industry. From luxury yachts and performance sailboats to marine electronics, tender upgrades, cruising essentials, and innovative boating products, there’s something here for every sailor and boating enthusiast. Whether you’re a beginner sailor looking to learn more about life at sea, a seasoned cruiser upgrading your yacht, or someone who simply loves the sailing lifestyle, come along as we experience the atmosphere, excitement, and endless marine innovation at Sanctuary Cove. Our channel follows our journey preparing our sailboat for full-time world cruising as we work towards casting off the dock lines and exploring the world by sailboat. Expect real-life boat projects, sailboat maintenance, liveaboard challenges, cruising preparation, sailing adventures, and everything involved in becoming full-time liveaboard sailors.

But what’s the REALITY of cruising life? In this D-Log, Carl talks honestly (and humorously!) about some of the biggest myths people believe about boat life before they buy a yacht or head off cruising. From expensive “marine” parts and sleepless nights at anchor… to weather obsession, endless repairs and marina life realities — this is the side of sailing most YouTube channels don’t show! But despite all the chaos… would we swap this life? Absolutely not. ⚓ Topics covered: • Is boat life really cheaper? • Are cruisers always relaxed? • Do you need loads of money to sail? • Learning as you go onboard • Boat maintenance reality • Living together in small spaces • Why cruising is still worth it If you’re dreaming of cruising, already living aboard, or simply enjoy sailing adventures, this one’s for you! 👇 Let us know in the comments: What surprised YOU most about boat life? #BoatLife #Sailing #CruisingLife #Liveaboard #SailingChannel #DLog #SailingAdventure #YachtLife #MediterraneanLife #LiveaboardLife ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you found it informative or entertaining please give it a thumbs as it helps get YouTube to promote it outside of the existing subscribers.

Each route has already been sailed individually, but never both in a single season. That is precisely the challenge Nicolas has taken on. ► With a set of specifications requiring the ability to beach the boat - or even haul it onto the ice - while still prioritizing seaworthiness for ocean crossings, light-air performance, and ease of maintenance, the adventurer chose Paradox, a 10-meter trimaran. Extremely light (2 tons) and minimalist (no engine), this multihull was built in 1997. We discovered her at the end of a refit in Hennebont, near Lorient. Nicolas opted to reuse numerous components to reduce costs, of course, but also as part of an environmentally conscious approach. ► After an initial trial voyage in the ice this summer, Paradox will set off again in 2027 to complete her sailing circumnavigation of the polar world. ► Sign up for our newsletter and win a free two-month subscription to Multihulls World by clicking here: https://bit.ly/48JP1Vk ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!

It’s a question that tends to surface whenever dramatic footage appears online, fires, groundings, collisions, yachts making headlines for all the wrong reasons. But what does that really tell us about the industry as a whole? In this episode, we step back from the noise and look at the bigger picture behind yacht safety. Not boating, but yachting. The world of professionally run vessels, trained crew, structured procedures, and serious ownership standards. We look at how incidents are reported and why visibility often distorts perception. We also compare large yacht operations with other transport industries and consider what the available data actually suggests about risk at this level. Along the way, we touch on what really matters onboard: crew experience, maintenance, decision-making, and the relationship between owner and captain. If you are thinking about yacht ownership, or simply follow the industry closely, this is a useful lens through which to view the conversation.

In this video, we take a deep technical walkthrough of the Moorings 464 PC — the charter-focused version of the Leopard 46 Powercat — and inspect what most yacht reviews never show you: the engine rooms, electrical systems, plumbing, battery banks, pumps, insulation, fuel systems, structural details and overall build quality. If you are considering buying a power catamaran, joining a yacht ownership program, chartering a Leopard catamaran, or simply love technical yacht content, this video will give you a real inside look at how this €1.3 million catamaran is actually built behind the glossy marketing photos. ⚓ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 0:31 Aft Deck 01:27 Engine Room Inspection 3:52 Main Salon and Galley 05:21 Batteries 06:30 Electrical Panel 07:14 Starboard hull (Forward and aft cabins, Pumps, tanks, pipes, and hidden systems) 12:04 Port side hull (Forward and aft cabins, Pumps, tanks, pipes, and hidden systems) 17:51 Fore Deck 19:31 Flybridge Tour 21:28 My honest opinion of the Moorings 464 PC 22:02 Ownership Program Explained We inspect: Yanmar 8LV 320 engines Engine room access and layout Acoustic insulation quality Electrical panels and inverter systems Watermaker and plumbing systems Bilge pumps and seacocks Fuel tanks and freshwater systems Air conditioning systems Generator installation Structural fiberglass finishing Interior carpentry and storage solutions Flybridge helm station Charter-focused layout decisions The Moorings Yacht Ownership Program This Leopard 46 PC / Moorings 464 PC is designed for long-range cruising, luxury charter operations and comfortable liveaboard experiences.

As I'm making my way back to the marina, a storm comes in and the winds really pick up. The wind shifts to the south, so I end up sailing to windward double-reefed which is challenging and slow. But it was an exciting sail with large waves (for a lake) and whitecaps.

The bling is of course her stainless rubrail, which is fixed atop her teak! We began this project approx 25months ago, with our dear friend Jason.

That long, quiet conversation between the builder and the hull. As a sculptor I've always felt more at home reading a surface with my hands than my eyes.

Three and a half days into an 18-day crossing from Ecuador to Easter Island, on a light catamaran with small rudders and no displacement, the wheel pilot's ring snapped, the belt cut itself in four places, and the ball bearings went everywhere. No bailout. No spare. Pitcairn was 1,200 miles west. Antarctica was south. We had to make it work with what was on board. This technique is explained in detail in chapter 6E of my book: https://bethecaptain.com/ This is the story of how bungee cords got us to Easter Island, and how a decommissioned road sign got us out of it. In this video, I break down: - What actually failed on the ST4000 wheel pilot, and why it failed in benign conditions - The fiberglass repair attempt that worked for three hours before exploding again - Sheet-to-tiller theory and why it doesn't translate directly to a light cat - The bungee-cord rudder balance technique I've now used on every boat I've owned since - Why I always carry four new bungee cords in the package on every passage - The Easter Island repair: clamping a linear drive arm to the rudder shaft using a road sign from the Department of Transportation, fire hose, and a homemade quadrant - The mindset shift that turns a catastrophic failure into a win The bungee technique is written up in full in Chapter 6E of Be The Captain. If you want the diagrams and the step-by-step on how to tune it for your own boat, grab the book: https://bethecaptain.com Coming next: the full Ecuador to Easter Island passage breakdown — routing, weather, the seven anchorages, check-in procedure, and what to bring. Subscribe so you're there when it drops. Lessons from this one: 1. Carry a real autopilot. Wheel pilots are not offshore gear. 2. Bungee cords, fire hose, and an open mind solve more problems than spare parts. 3. Sit with the problem. The solution is always there. You just have to think. 4. Ask for help. The cruising community runs on it.

But while inspecting the underwater gear, we discovered something that genuinely surprised me. One set of anodes was disappearing far faster than expected… and the reason turned out to be something I suspect many saildrive and shaft-drive owners may never even have considered. In this video we look at: ⚓ Saildrive and propeller anodes ⚓ Zinc vs aluminium anodes ⚓ Rope cutters and electrical continuity ⚓ Galvanic corrosion explained simply ⚓ Why some anodes disappear much faster than others ⚓ The importance of electrically isolated propellers We also explain how certain rope cutter and shaft arrangements can unintentionally create an electrical path between underwater components, dramatically changing how the protection system behaves.

In this episode of our catamaran refit, we install a custom stainless steel solar arch capable of supporting 4 x 575W bifacial solar panels, plus an additional two panels mounted on the coach roof for a total of 3,450 watts of solar power onboard. Getting to this point was anything but easy. We had three different welders flake out on us before finally finding someone willing to take on the project for a reasonable price. By the end, we were deeply involved in the build ourselves—designing the arch, cutting and fitting the stainless supports, and acting as the welder’s extra hands throughout the fabrication process. This wasn’t a simple bolt-on project. We handled all the heavy lifting ourselves and completed the installation without any help from the boatyard. Along the way, we also: Reused and integrated the original safety rails Added a cockpit shower and foot wash Built a strong, clean structure capable of supporting serious off-grid power generation The final result completely transformed the back of the boat. Not only does the arch look incredible, but it’s also a huge step toward our goal of building a fully self-sufficient cruising catamaran capable of running comfortably without relying on marinas or a generator. This project has been nearly two years in the making, and finally seeing the solar array mounted and complete feels like a massive milestone in our sailboat refit journey.

It’s one of the biggest decisions when spec’ing a Targa 32 or below, and in this video, Andrew Porter from East Coast Yacht Sales breaks down the real-world differences between both engine packages on a Targa 27.2 outboard & inboard boat. We take a detailed look at two 2026 Targa 27.2 models: • Twin Mercury 300 Outboards • Single Volvo D6 400 Diesel Inboard From swim platform usability and cockpit layout to engine room space, maintenance costs, cruising performance, fuel burn, efficiency, range, and overall ownership experience, this video compares how each setup completely changes the feel of the same boat.

We are on our mooring in Luperón to tackle the thorough cleaning and reassembly of the Volvo Penta MD2030 valve cover, coolant pump, and heat exchanger. To break up the monotony of the technical rebuild, I spice up the routine boat chores with some music. A good playlist makes it much more fun to navigate the tight spaces while making the bed in a tiny bunk area, washing dishes in the galley, and sweeping down the cockpit.

Not just structurally right, but truly, honestly fair. In this video I take you through the fairing and staining of the hull of my Little Auk kayak build, a process that sits somewhere between woodworking and sculpture and asks as much of your hands as it does your eye. As a sculptor, fairing has always felt like familiar ground reading a surface with your fingertips, listening to what the material wants to be, coaxing a form toward something that feels inevitable rather than imposed. I take you through the full process, from the first passes with the plane through to longboarding, sanding, and the constant conversation between tool and wood that fairing really is. Then the stain. I'm using an alcohol-based stain here, chosen specifically because it plays well with epoxy, it penetrates the wood cleanly, locks in beautifully under the epoxy coat, and brings out a warmth and depth in the grain that a water-based product simply can't match. Watching the color come up on a faired hull for the first time is one of those quiet, satisfying moments that reminds you exactly why you build by hand. If you're building a kayak, thinking about building one, or just love the craft of working wood into something that moves on water, this one's for you. “If you’re going to make it, make it beautiful.” Bob Emser As an advocate for backyard boat builders I offer a free 30 minute chat about your project.

A friend is giving away an old sailboat for free, and now we have to answer the dangerous question every sailor secretly loves: is this a cheap sailing adventure waiting to happen, or is a “free boat” just the most expensive kind of boat? In this Practical Sailor video, we take a first look at a free sailboat project and decide whether it is worth saving. We’ll tour the boat, look at the hull, trailer, rigging, deck, hardware, cabin, sails, outboard situation, keel, rudder, and all the little clues that tell you whether an old sailboat is a bargain, a rescue project, or a financial ambush wearing bottom paint. This could become a full sailboat restoration and refit series, where we bring home an old pocket cruiser, inspect everything, fix what needs fixing, install new sailing gear, upgrade hardware, and find out what it really takes to turn a free sailboat into a safe, usable, fun little cruising boat. If you’re into sailing, sailboat restoration, cheap sailboats, free boats, trailer sailers, old sailboats, DIY boat repair, sailboat refits, pocket cruisers, small cruising boats, boat projects, affordable sailing, or learning how to inspect a used sailboat before buying it, this is exactly the kind of adventure we’re getting into. So here’s the question: should we rescue this free sailboat, bring it home, and turn it into a Practical Sailor project boat? Or should we run away before the “free” boat starts sending invoices? Tell me what you see, what worries you, what you’d check first, and whether you think this old sailboat deserves a second life. #FreeSailboat #SailboatRestoration #PracticalSailor Practical Sailor is your trusted resource for reviews of sailboats and sailing gear. https://www.practical-sailor.com Chat with us on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/PracticalSailor/ https://sailorsahoy.com/reels/watch/adios-avocet-sailing-avocet_vLLf3lQwtIO1gFP.html Sat, 23 May 2026 01:36:15 +0000 https://sailorsahoy.com/reels/watch/adios-avocet-sailing-avocet_vLLf3lQwtIO1gFP.html From hauling out to escaping Mexico, this video is a bit of an emotional good bye.

Our very first passage was just over 700 nautical miles, launching us headfirst into the world of bluewater cruising, learning to sail, and real life at sea. Since that moment, we’ve been fully immersed in boat life, documenting the journey of turning a production cruising sailboat into a capable, self-sufficient home as we prepare for full-time liveaboard life. From major sailboat upgrades and off-grid power systems to everyday maintenance and skills building, we’re learning what it truly takes to own, sail, and live on a boat while working toward our goal of sailing around the world. If you’re into sailing adventures, beginner sailing, sailboat ownership, cruising lifestyle, and traveling the world by sailboat, our journey is all about real-time learning, ocean freedom, and building the confidence to chase long-term world cruising under sail. Living on a sailboat and preparing to sail around the world means every system onboard has to be reliable — and in this episode we tackle one of the most important comforts of liveaboard life… the sailboat hot water system. What starts as a simple troubleshooting job quickly turns into another challenge of boat ownership as we work to diagnose and repair the hot water problems onboard our cruising sailboat before we leave to explore the world by sea. If you love sailing videos, liveaboard sailing, boat projects, sailboat maintenance, cruising adventures, and real behind-the-scenes boat life, this episode is for you. Join us as we continue preparing our sailboat for offshore cruising and long-term world travel while learning more about the systems that keep a liveaboard boat running safely and comfortably. From plumbing issues to marine hot water systems, we take you through the process of troubleshooting, problem-solving, and getting one step closer to casting off the dock lines for good in just a few short weeks. Preparing a sailboat for bluewater cruising is never easy, and every repair teaches us something new. Whether you’re a beginner sailor, experienced cruiser, sailboat owner, or someone dreaming about travelling the world by sailboat, we hope these sailing adventures inspire you to chase your own dream of freedom and life at sea. Our goal is to leave the dock and sail around the world, documenting every step of the journey — from sailboat upgrades and boat maintenance to offshore sailing adventures, anchoring in tropical destinations, and the realities of living full-time on a yacht. This channel is all about real liveaboard sailing life, learning as we go, and sharing the highs and lows of preparing a cruising sailboat for adventure. Subscribe and follow our journey as we work towards full-time sailing, world travel by sailboat, and life on the water. There’s still plenty to do before departure, and every project gets us one step closer to exploring the oceans and living the dream of sailing around the world.

After clearing debris, stabilising dangerous beams, and dragging the safe out, we finally tried to open it… while also tackling some of the sketchiest structural problems we’ve faced so far. If you’re into DIY projects, restoration builds, and breathing life back into heritage properties, this series is for you.

We wanted to test our current setup, build up some confidence anchoring close to home, and push our onboard power to the test. You'll see how our solar panel performed (we even managed to watch some TV!), check out my latest "low-cost" DIY inventions using a mop handle and some hoses to wash down the anchor chain, and find out what's currently happening with the management transition at Bangor Marina between Boatfolk and the Ards and North Down Borough Council. We wrap things up with a "not-so-perfect" docking maneuver—but hey, that's real sailing for you!

What was once a busy milling site covered in sawdust, logs, and lumber stacks has slowly returned to forest. The stumps remain, the next generation of trees is already growing, and the cycle continues. Back aboard the boat, preparations for summer expeditions along Newfoundland’s remote south coast are ramping up. Climbing ropes, bolts, static lines, and expedition gear are unpacked and sorted as Steve and Robin get ready to explore massive granite walls that may hold untouched climbing routes. Meanwhile, another round of sewing projects aboard Arabella continues, including custom rope bags, cockpit storage, and new awnings designed to make life aboard cleaner, cooler, and more functional for the adventures ahead. The next chapter is getting closer. -------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva. -------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat supports A2A!

Everyone talks about purchase price, but almost nobody talks about what happens AFTER year one. Slip fees, insurance, haul outs, maintenance, sails, beginner mistakes, repairs... it adds up fast. In this video, I break down: ⛵ Purchase prices 💸 Marina and slip fees 🔧 Maintenance and haul outs ⚓ Insurance costs 🛠 Beginner repair mistakes 📊 Real yearly ownership numbers I compared real boats, real prices, and real maintenance costs to figure out which path actually makes sense for a beginner sailor planning for coastal cruising and eventually offshore sailing. And the difference? It’s bigger than I expected. Subscribe because next week I’m talking about why experienced sailors STILL make the wrong decision when choosing between a catamaran and a monohull. #Sailing #Catamaran #Monohull #BoatLife #Liveaboard #Sailboat #SailingLife #CruisingLife https://sailorsahoy.com/reels/watch/dragage-ensablement-à-st-cyprien-immersion-avec-les-experts_hnOhUPpyX9HH9eU.html Thu, 21 May 2026 16:18:04 +0000 https://sailorsahoy.com/reels/watch/dragage-ensablement-à-st-cyprien-immersion-avec-les-experts_hnOhUPpyX9HH9eU.html 🏝️, Je t’emmène sur la drague la Baronne voir comment est désensablée la passe du Port de Saint Cyprien, en partenariat avec l’entreprise NGE TMF.
