This week on Sailing Melody, we're back working on Ocean Melody and tackling one of those jobs that starts off simple and quickly turns into something much bigger. I start by cleaning out the engine bilge and trying to track down an annoying oil leak. But while investigating, we discover something we definitely weren't expecting — the alternator has been rubbing against and wearing through one of the bilge pump pipes. That means the bilge pumps have to come out, and now we're looking at replacing the damaged pipework. If you're experienced with marine bilge systems, let us know in the comments what type of pipe you'd use as a replacement! We also get the starter battery moved as we continue working our way through the never-ending list of jobs aboard Ocean Melody. Then it's time to head up to the off-grid cottage project. The cottage has been open to the elements for years and, unfortunately, the local sheep have discovered that it's basically a luxury sheep hotel! 🐑😂 So today's job is a simple one — cutting down a wooden door to stop the sheep getting back inside. Two projects, two very different sets of problems… and plenty still to do!

Designed and constructed in Canada, the Bayfield 36 combines traditional styling, a clipper bow, cutter rig, long keel, protected rudder and a surprisingly spacious cruising interior. In this complete Bayfield 36 sailboat review, we examine the boat’s history, construction, sailing performance, deck layout, interior accommodations, engine, rig and important inspection points for anyone considering buying a used Bayfield. We also look at how the Bayfield 36 compares with the smaller Bayfield 32 and why this heavy-displacement Canadian cruising sailboat still attracts sailors decades after production ended. Is the Bayfield 36 a capable bluewater cruising boat, a comfortable liveaboard or simply a beautiful classic with a great deal of teak to maintain? Watch as we explore everything you need to know about the Bayfield 36, including its strengths, weaknesses and the ownership costs buyers should consider before purchasing one.

We retrieve the dinghy and motor, open up the battery to check for water, make some pancakes, take a short beach walk… and later things get even worse when we break the Torqeedo propeller!

The new “book in our series” called life has officially begun. We completed what’s known as the Swedish Death Cleanse by selling nearly everything we own, and moving aboard our salvaged, half-sunk 37-foot Prout Snowgoose Elite catamaran as our new full time home. We’ve permanently shed the mast and rigging to transform her into the first iteration of a 100% solar-electric liveaboard cruiser—ready to take on the 6,000-mile journey of America's Great Loop! In Season 2, Episode 5, Lezlie & Jason make it deep into the Chesapeake Bay as they continue their Great Loop adventure aboard their upcycled solar-electric cruiser. The Virginia state flag gives way to Maryland as the experiences keep stacking up. They survive a dangerous storm that through thunder, lightning, hail, tornadoes, waterspouts, heavy rains and strong winds at them. Annapolis lives up to its reputation in more ways than one but is the sailing capital of the world ready for a salvaged, demasted 100% solar powered catamaran? Finally, our two voyagers welcome a YouTube phenom aboard to critique their DIY efforts to make something entirely new from something abandoned.

From playing Amazon delivery specialist to hosting us for an incredible dinner and taking time to get to know each other. It was truly a blessing to connect and share stories. William Ball: It was so fun connecting at the Tangier Island dock. Couldn’t resist sharing your beautiful boat in this episode. Once that breeze kicked in, y’all were GONE. Fair winds friend. Randy Cain: We really enjoyed meeting IRL. Your impressive boat is already an example for so many. Can’t wait to buddy boat someday. Think about it, we could actually charge each others boats if we needed to and how cool is that! Still can’t believe the storm that broke out right after you left the boat. https://sailorsahoy.com/reels/watch/haulover-inlet-tested-jeanneau-leader-9-0-cc-series-2_3zjuvUGs83cyAds.html Sun, 30 Aug 2026 12:00:29 +0000 https://sailorsahoy.com/reels/watch/haulover-inlet-tested-jeanneau-leader-9-0-cc-series-2_3zjuvUGs83cyAds.html The Jeanneau Leader 9.0 CC Series 2 takes the traditional center console concept and gives it a much more social, family-focused personality. While it still delivers the practicality, visibility, and ease of maintenance that make center consoles so popular, this boat adds comfortable seating, overnight accommodation, and flexible spaces that make it equally suited to sandbar days, coastal cruising, watersports, and the occasional weekend getaway. In this series, filmed at Haulover Inlet in Miami, Florida, we take a detailed look at the Jeanneau Leader 9.0 CC Series 2 from both a design and performance perspective. In the walkthrough, we explore the cockpit, bow lounge, helm, accommodation, head, swim platform, and the clever features that make this boat so versatile. In the sea trial, we put it through challenging conditions at Haulover Inlet before heading offshore and inshore to evaluate its ride quality, handling, performance, docking, anchoring, and overall capability. Whether you're upgrading from a smaller center console or looking for a boat that offers far more versatility than a traditional fishing-focused design, the Jeanneau Leader 9.0 CC Series 2 is well worth considering. As always, the goal isn't to tell you whether this is the right boat for you, but to help you understand what it was designed to do and whether it matches your own boating lifestyle.

Pork steaks are an incredibly flavorful, budget-friendly cut of meat that cooks up fast and tender when prepared correctly. I'll walk you through the step-by-step butchering process so you can easily break down a pork shoulder yourself, along with how to adjust this recipe whether you're using a Blackstone griddle, a smoker, a standard gas grill, or a cast-iron skillet. To test the versatility of this cut, we’re seasoning these pork steaks four completely unique ways before searing them off on the Blackstone 36" Griddle. You’ll get to see how each flavor profile crusts up on the flat top and which seasoning method creates the ultimate bite. Make sure to like, subscribe, and drop a comment below letting me know which of the four flavor combinations you’d try first! Here are some great accessories we use.

Along the way, I explore two of Europe’s prettiest cities: Antwerp, with its stunning Gothic cathedral and world-famous train station, and Bruges, a fairytale town full of medieval treasures and winding canals.

The series follows me, a woman in her mid-40s, as I try to understand what I’m looking for, explore very different historic boats and eventually find Anna Maria, a 21-metre Dutch tjalk built in 1913. After buying her, I have to learn how to handle this massive old canal boat and bring her through the narrow waterways, bridges and locks of the Netherlands to Germany. Anna Maria was converted into a liveaboard barge in the 1970s, and I originally believed I could keep much of her existing interior. But as more and more problems reveal themselves, that plan begins to unravel and I make the slightly terrifying decision to tear everything apart and take on an enormous DIY boat refit. From searching for a floating home to navigating Anna Maria and rebuilding her from the steel hull up, this is an honest, developing story of canal boat life: difficult decisions, new skills, unexpected setbacks and the small victories that keep me moving forward. ⇩ FOLLOW THE JOURNEY ⇩ ► INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/WhiteSpotPirates ► FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/WhiteSpotPirates ► WEBSITE: http://www.whitespotpirates.com ⇩ START AT THE BEGINNING OF MY SOLO-SAILING STORY ⇩ Before Anna Maria, there was Karl: the sailboat I bought, rebuilt and eventually sailed away on alone.

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 for full-time liveaboard life. From major sailboat upgrades and off-grid power systems to everyday maintenance and skills building, we have been learning what it truly takes to own, sail, and live on a boat while preparing to sail around the world. We have now left the dock and our adventure has begun so hit subscribe to come along on the journey of a lifetime. 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 realising our dream of world cruising under sail...Let's go! Join us as we leave the stunning anchorage of Pancake Creek and set sail along Australia's spectacular east coast to one of the Southern Great Barrier Reef's most beautiful destinations – Great Keppel Island. This sailing passage may be calm, but the reward at the end is nothing short of incredible.

While it still delivers the practicality, visibility, and ease of maintenance that make center consoles so popular, this boat adds comfortable seating, overnight accommodation, and flexible spaces that make it equally suited to sandbar days, coastal cruising, watersports, and the occasional weekend getaway. In this series, filmed at Haulover Inlet in Miami, Florida, we take a detailed look at the Jeanneau Leader 9.0 CC Series 2 from both a design and performance perspective. In the walkthrough, we explore the cockpit, bow lounge, helm, accommodation, head, swim platform, and the clever features that make this boat so versatile. In the sea trial, we put it through challenging conditions at Haulover Inlet before heading offshore and inshore to evaluate its ride quality, handling, performance, docking, anchoring, and overall capability. Whether you're upgrading from a smaller center console or looking for a boat that offers far more versatility than a traditional fishing-focused design, the Jeanneau Leader 9.0 CC Series 2 is well worth considering. As always, the goal isn't to tell you whether this is the right boat for you, but to help you understand what it was designed to do and whether it matches your own boating lifestyle.

Owning a sailboat or powerboat means accumulating an incredible amount of documentation. Receipts for marine electronics, batteries and repairs. Owner’s manuals for equipment. Boat registration and insurance documents. Customs paperwork for crossing borders. Surveys, warranties, invoices, serial numbers and years of boat maintenance records. And when you actually need one of those documents… where is it? In this video, we look at a better way to organize your boat paperwork and create a digital maintenance and ownership history for your boat. Keeping good boat records can help with warranty claims, maintenance schedules, replacement parts, border crossings and even make life much easier when it’s eventually time to sell your boat. This is also one of the problems we built Vesselbook to solve. Boat owners can keep important information connected to their boat instead of scattering it across filing cabinets, email accounts, phones and that mysterious binder somewhere aboard. The goal is bigger than saving receipts. You’re building the history of your boat. And Vesselbook is completely free for boat owners. #Sailing #Boating #BoatMaintenance #Sailboat #BoatOwners #Vesselbook #BoatLife #SailboatMaintenance #BoatDocuments #BoatRegistration #BoatRepair #SailingLife #BoatTips #SailingTips Lady K Swag!!!

Known historically as "Slave Island," Gorée is now a bustling local fun spot, a stark contrast to its dark past where people were once shipped across the ocean. In this episode, we join Hann and the crew for some chaotic "wet bike" action on a packed beach that felt like Waterworld. While the kids had a blast, the reality of sailing in Dakar during the hivernage (rainy season) quickly caught up with us. From discovering unexpected hull growth despite three fresh coats of antifouling (blame the polluted, hot waters!) to navigating the extreme weather shifts that define this season. We also hand the helm over to Faby—a natural driver—and reflect on the unpredictable nature of this bay. Between night storms, the risk of drifting moorings, and the story of a captain beaching boats in Dakar and Cabo Verde, this is the unfiltered, sometimes scary, but always thrilling reality of the sailing life. Join us for a day of high energy, historical reflection, and a sudden shower from the heavens that reminds us why we have to be ready for the worst-case scenario at any moment 00:00 Intro 00:33 Welcome aboard 01:15 Waterworld 02:09 Manning the helm 02:42 Swimming surprise 04:07 Hann helms 04:25 Beached boat,why? 05:56 Storm colors 06:19 Weather anticipation 07:19 Be ready 08:07 Rain of pain 08:34 Lightning strikes 09:02 Next week Some say it’s The Best Sailing Channel on YouTube!

From Med mooring and overnight passages to changing weather and yacht maintenance, Mike and Linda share the practical sailing lessons that have transformed the way they cruise aboard their Lagoon 46. When they first started, many of the things they now do regularly felt intimidating. Over time, they've pushed themselves outside their comfort zone, developed new skills and discovered just how much more you can get from your yacht when you're willing to keep learning. In this episode, Mike and Linda share their best catamaran sailing tips and lessons from four seasons of Mediterranean cruising, including: ✓ Why they chose the Lagoon 46 after previously owning a Lagoon 380 ✓ Why they felt 46 feet was the right size to handle as a couple ✓ What they love about sailing their Lagoon 46 ✓ How they learned to Med moor with confidence ✓ Why the right length of floating line matters ✓ The Mediterranean mooring advice they learned from a Greek harbour master ✓ Why you shouldn't let other boats rush your manoeuvre ✓ Their tips for overnight sailing and night passages ✓ Why they reef before sunset ✓ How moonlight can make an overnight passage more comfortable ✓ How they monitor changing Mediterranean weather ✓ Why they compare multiple sailing weather forecasts ✓ What they've learned about yacht maintenance ✓ How cruising has given them the confidence to tackle more maintenance themselves Mediterranean Mooring Lessons Med mooring was one of the more confronting skills Mike and Linda had to master while cruising Greece, Croatia and Turkey. After initially buying 50-metre lines, they discovered that longer floating lines gave them far more flexibility. They also learned the importance of properly setting the anchor, checking the tension once the boat has settled and, above all, refusing to be rushed. As they've learned while sailing in Greece, sometimes the best approach is simply "slowly, slowly." Overnight Sailing & Mediterranean Weather Overnight passages brought another set of lessons. When possible, Mike and Linda prefer to sail overnight when there is some moonlight and put a reef in before sundown for additional peace of mind. Weather monitoring has also become an important part of their daily cruising routine. Rather than relying on one forecast, they compare several sources, including PredictWind and Windy, to help make informed decisions before setting off. Learning as You Cruise Perhaps their biggest lesson is that you don't need to know everything before you start. From learning to Med moor to servicing the generator and replacing its water pump, their confidence has developed through experience. Boats are constantly working, things wear out and every season brings another opportunity to learn something new. If you're planning on sailing the Mediterranean, cruising on a catamaran or considering a Lagoon 46, this episode is packed with real-world advice from owners who've spent four seasons learning along the way.

The mountain winds are light and very shifty. As the winds pick up, I head out to the main part of the lake. I had no plan, no agenda, and no goals for the day.

We ran into a sprawling network of drift nets, all interconnected, stretching for miles with no clear way through. They barely showed up on AIS until we were within a few miles of them, giving us almost no warning to plan a route around. Our buddy boat had it even worse — their AIS didn't pick up the nets at all, and they ended up snagged in the dark. That meant someone had to go over the side at night, diving under the hull to cut them free while the rest of us stood watch, scanning the water and the horizon for what else might be out there. This video covers the whole ordeal: the moment we first spotted the nets, the tense hours trying to navigate around a maze we couldn't fully see, the radio calls back and forth with our buddy boat once they got caught, and the long, sleepless night that followed as we kept watch until sunrise. If you're into offshore sailing, ocean passages, or just want to see what it's really like when things go sideways far from land — this one's for you. --- MUSIC CREDITS: "Perception" Music by https://www.bensound.com/free-music-for-videos License code: RZ0V1769GPFMBOMG Artist: : Benjamin Tissot "Tenderness" Music by: Bensound.com/free-music-for-videos License code: LLUK5FOLB1WIKMOU Artist: : Benjamin Tissot "Slow Motion" Music: https://www.bensound.com License code: 538NT9CKLFEEQBZJ Artist: : Benjamin Tissot --- 💙 SUPPORT OUR CHANNELS: A big THANK-YOU to our MOTHERSHIP PATREON family who make these videos possible.

The new “book in our series” called life has officially begun. We completed what’s known as the Swedish Death Cleanse by selling nearly everything we own, and moving aboard our salvaged, half-sunk 37-foot Prout Snowgoose Elite catamaran as our new full time home. We’ve permanently shed the mast and rigging to transform her into the first iteration of a 100% solar-electric liveaboard cruiser ready to take on the 6,000-mile journey of America's Great Loop! In Season 2, Episode 4, Jason & Lezlie continue the Great Loop adventure aboard their upcycled solar-electric cruiser. A big question is answered about the solar canopy acting as a rigid sail in strong winds. An attempt to avoid heavy chop winds up with a grounding that felt like a game over sort of event. Fortunes turned for the better as they found themselves back underway. Finally arriving in safe harbor at Deltaville allows them to recoup and prepare for seeing whether their DIY solar powered boat can take them across the Chesapeake Bay to catch a glimpse of the sinking island of Tangier.

From there, I shift to the cockpit: building up the coaming from plywood laminations, then wrapping it in carbon fiber using my pre-preg method. Pre-pregging carbon lets me control resin content precisely instead of fighting for saturation on a curved, vertical surface, no drips, no dry spots, no excess weight from pooled epoxy. It's a different problem than wetting out glass on a flat deck, and this video walks through why the approach changes when the substrate does. If you're building any strip/hybrid kayak and want to see how the coaming comes together, laminated plywood core, carbon skin, pre-preg technique and all, 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.

In this episode, we dive into the gritty reality of boat maintenance in West Africa. There’s no better place than CVD to get real work done, especially with trusted friends like Arona and Diallo by my side. Watch as we tackle a new alternator installation, replace worn-out fuel and temperature gauges, and wire up a fuse for the MPPT solar charge regulator. From wrestling with tricky fuel apparatus inside the tank to silencing my own complaints while sealing up the battery access with twenty-four nuts, this is hands-on problem solving at its finest. We also service the Winless engine, fit a badass ten-millimeter base plate, and reflect on how life sometimes feels like a video game—full of unexpected challenges, rewards, and obstacles. Plus, a curious drift of sea cucumber relatives arrives annually, reminding us nature always has surprises. And about those new sails? No sponsors yet, but who cares. We’ll sail until they shred.This is what it’s really like fixing up an old boat for African sailing.

We've struggled with our DIY built water maker for the last 12 months and now we're really excited to switch it out for the Kyma Comfort 60 watermaker from Ocean Spring Watermakers. It produces 60 litres an hour of fresh water, runs off our 12V battery bank and has a super quiet brushless motor. The simplicity of the control panel also means it should be easy to run from inside the galley, whenever we need to top up our tanks. See how we installed this new power-efficient watermaker on our boat in Fiji as we prepare for our next off grid trip to the Lau Islands.

We’re supposed to be sailing to Winter Cove on Saturna Island. Living on a sailboat does not mean that sailing goes smoothly. Eventually, in this video, we do get away from Pender Island. But operating an old wooden sailboat has a way of turning a simple plan into something considerably less simple. Before we can get underway, there are jobs to finish aboard "W. Grebe", our vintage wooden gaff-rigged sailboat. There is always something that needs fixing, adjusting, checking, or figuring out — and this morning is no exception. We also introduce you into the continuing saga of "Bluey", our new 1981 Volkswagen Westfalia. Bluey, on her first day with us, reminded us that owning temperamental old machines is a lifestyle choice. And then Mary and I have to actually get the boat off the dock. We’ve lived aboard together long enough to know that leaving a dock can occasionally expose some… differences in communication style. This departure is one of those occasions. There’s no manufactured drama here. No pretending that living aboard and sailing together is endlessly romantic. Sometimes you’re tired. Sometimes somebody gives an instruction that makes perfect sense to them and absolutely no sense to the other person. Sometimes voices get a little sharper than intended. And then you get clear of the dock, hoist the sails, and remember why you’re doing all of this in the first place. Our destination is "Winter Cove on Saturna Island", in British Columbia’s Southern Gulf Islands. Winter Cove sits beside Boat Passage, the narrow stretch of water separating Saturna Island from Samuel Island and the Strait of Georgia beyond. It’s one of those places that reminds us how extraordinary this little corner of the Pacific Northwest really is — islands, tidal passages, old forests, rocky shorelines and anchorages that have been used by people travelling these waters for generations. This channel is increasingly about what happens when we give ourselves a reason to go somewhere. Not simply “we sailed to another anchorage,” but the projects, problems, weather, history, people, food and unexpected moments that happen along the way. Sometimes the interesting part of a voyage happens long before you reach the destination. This was one of those days. --- ABOUT W. GREBE W. Grebe is our classic wooden gaff-rigged sailing boat and our home. She was built on Denman Island, British Columbia, by Herbert Havelaar and is based on Harrison Butler’s Khamseen design. She carries a traditional gaff mainsail and topsail along with her headsails, and she is powered — when the wind refuses to cooperate — by an old Sabb diesel with a variable-pitch propeller. Living aboard an older wooden boat means sailing is only part of the story. Maintenance is constant. There are traditional systems to understand, wood to look after, rigging to inspect, mechanical problems to solve and an endless collection of small jobs that somehow become large jobs. That’s part of why we love her. ABOUT THIS CHANNEL I’m John Fraser. For most of my life, the outdoors has been where I’ve felt most at home. I’ve worked as a farmer, guide and outfitter, fly-fishing instructor, writer and filmmaker, and much of my work has revolved around wild food and the landscapes that produce it. These days, Mary and I live aboard W. Grebe in British Columbia’s Southern Gulf Islands. This channel follows that life — but I’m interested in more than simply documenting where we went. I want these films to have a reason for leaving the dock. A challenge. A destination. A question. A piece of history. Something to find, learn, catch, gather, fix or accomplish. Along the way there will be sailing, wooden boats, island communities, wild food, fishing, foraging, history, people and the occasional mechanical disaster.

In this episode, we bring in a telehandler to stand up the huge 64-foot walls, and immediately discover our columns don’t actually fit into their brackets the way they’re supposed to. 🤦🏻 After a quick fix, we’re back in business — and things actually go surprisingly smoothly. By the end of the day, three walls are standing, and for the first time, we can really start to see (and feel) what this barn is going to be. It’s pretty fricken rad. Many thanks to all of you following our journey, we so appreciate you! Hope you enjoy!

The series follows me, a woman in her mid-40s, as I try to understand what I’m looking for, explore very different historic boats and eventually find Anna Maria, a 21-metre Dutch tjalk built in 1913. After buying her, I have to learn how to handle this massive old canal boat and bring her through the narrow waterways, bridges and locks of the Netherlands to Germany. Anna Maria was converted into a liveaboard barge in the 1970s, and I originally believed I could keep much of her existing interior. But as more and more problems reveal themselves, that plan begins to unravel and I make the slightly terrifying decision to tear everything apart and take on an enormous DIY boat refit. From searching for a floating home to navigating Anna Maria and rebuilding her from the steel hull up, this is an honest, developing story of canal boat life: difficult decisions, new skills, unexpected setbacks and the small victories that keep me moving forward. ⇩ FOLLOW THE JOURNEY ⇩ ► INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/WhiteSpotPirates ► FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/WhiteSpotPirates ► WEBSITE: http://www.whitespotpirates.com ⇩ START AT THE BEGINNING OF MY SOLO-SAILING STORY ⇩ Before Anna Maria, there was Karl: the sailboat I bought, rebuilt and eventually sailed away on alone. Untie The Lines follows more than a decade of solo sailing, DIY boat repairs and life aboard, including the fear, freedom, breakdowns and beautiful encounters that shaped both my journey and this channel. ► BINGE-WATCH UNTIE THE LINES FROM EPISODE ONE: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXRq1t-_HOXvL6L6lGac5YAloge4jiLRA Thank you to everyone who watches, comments, shares these films or supports their creation.

We get into what the Jeanneau 39i is actually like to own and sail, what they love about the boat, and what’s pushing them toward a bigger cruising catamaran. If you’re researching a **Jeanneau 39i**, looking for an affordable cruising sailboat, or wondering whether a catamaran might eventually make sense for you, there’s a lot to unpack here. We also dive into **learning how to sail**, sailing schools, and the differences between **ASA sailing courses and RYA sailing courses**. Do you actually need formal sailing lessons? Which certification makes the most sense? And how much of becoming a capable sailor comes from classes versus simply getting out there and gaining experience? We also talk about the less glamorous side of boat ownership, including keeping track of maintenance, upgrades, receipts, equipment, and the history of your sailboat. That leads us into a conversation about **VesselBook** and why having a permanent record of your boat can make ownership, maintenance, and eventually selling a boat a whole lot easier. Whether you're looking at a **Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39i**, dreaming about buying a cruising catamaran, trying to decide between **ASA vs RYA**, researching sailing schools, or just figuring out how to start cruising, this conversation covers a little bit of everything that happens between buying your first sailboat and wondering what the next boat might be. Check out **Sea Ox Sailing on YouTube** to follow their Jeanneau 39i adventures and see where the move toward a catamaran takes them. And if you're a sailor, tell me in the comments: **Would you rather cruise on a 39-foot monohull or make the jump to a catamaran?** #Sailing #Jeanneau39i #Jeanneau #Catamaran #SailingCouple #CruisingSailboat #LearnToSail #SailingSchool #ASA #RYA #SailboatLife #LiveaboardSailing #CruisingLife #CatamaranSailing #MonohullVsCatamaran #BoatOwnership #VesselBook #SeaOxSailing Lady K Swag!!!

Wir sind Rika und Johannes aus Hamburg. Zusammen mit Rikas Schwester Julia segeln wir mit unserer Maxi 84 nach und nach durch die Dänische Südsee, um unsere Segel-Skills zu erweitern und das tolle Wassersport-Revier zu erkunden. Von den vielen kleinen Inseln und dem teilweise klaren Wasser sind wir immer wieder fasziniert. Die Ostsee-Törns sind definitiv unsere Highlights. Normalerweise trefft ihr uns jedoch auf unserem Heimatrevier direkt vor unserer Haustür an: Der Außenalster in Hamburg. Denn, wir haben uns im April 2021 einen Kielzugvogel gekauft. Mit dem Holzboot ist auch unsere Segel-Leidenschaft gestartet. Zwischen April und Oktober genießen wir also das Segeln auf der Knysna [ˈnaɪzna] (so haben wir unseren Kielzugvogel getauft, nach einer Stadt in Südafrika benannt). . Im Herbst 2023 haben wir uns einen weitern Traum erfüllt und uns eine Maxi 84 gekauft. Diese wurde von uns Ende Oktober 2023 nach Kiel überführt. Seit dem widmen wir uns im Winterlager auch diesem schwedischen Segelklassiker, im Sommer erkunden wir die Dänische Südsee. Dabei haben wir uns immer nach dem Motto gerichtet: Learning by Doing Auf diesem Kanal möchten wir Euch zeigen, wie wir stetig dazulernen, Fortschritte machen aber auch manchmal an unsere Grenzen stoßen. Getreu dem Motto: Es ist noch kein Meister vom Himmel gefallen.

Learn how to weigh the financial impact against the benefits of a warranty. Lenny Rudow breaks down the core differences between purchasing a brand-new vessel versus a pre-owned model. Just like shopping for a car or home, deciding whether to buy a new boat involves balancing upfront costs with long-term maintenance expectations. If you are a prospective boater, understanding this distinction is the first step toward avoiding common ownership pitfalls. We focus on why a new boat purchase often comes down to the security of a factory warranty, while buying a used boat requires a shift in how you plan for mechanical upkeep and inspections. By aligning your expectations with these realities, you can make a purchase that fits your lifestyle. Use this guide to determine which path makes the most sense for your wallet and your weekend plans.

This isn't just a boat tour. It's the beginning of a plan to retire early, leave the traditional work life behind, and go sailing. We'll take you aboard for a sailboat tour, show you the projects and upgrades that are turning our boat into a comfortable cruising home, and share what we're learning along the way. The ultimate goal? 🌴 Sailing the Caribbean. ⛵ Living on a sailboat. 🌊 Exploring the Chesapeake Bay. 🏝️ Cruising from island to island. ⚓ Building a life around the water instead of a desk. But getting there takes work. In this episode, we're tackling sailboat projects, upgrades, maintenance, organization, and improvements that will make the boat safer, more comfortable, and better prepared for extended cruising. You'll get a look inside our sailboat and see what we're doing to prepare for the next chapter — including the realities of turning a sailboat into a home. ⛵ IN THIS VIDEO: • Complete sailboat tour • Sailboat projects and upgrades • Preparing a boat for long-distance cruising • Retiring early to sail • Quitting work and changing our lifestyle • Living aboard a sailboat • Preparing for Caribbean sailing • Chesapeake Bay sailing • Cruising and sailboat life • What it takes to make a sailboat your home • Plans for sailing the Caribbean • The good, the bad, and the work behind the dream We're not just dreaming about sailing away. We're preparing for it. The Chesapeake Bay is where we're learning, experimenting, upgrading the boat, and building our cruising skills. The Caribbean is where we ultimately want to go. And between the two are thousands of miles of water, countless anchorages, boat projects, unexpected problems, incredible sunsets, and adventures waiting to happen. 🌴 The dream is simple: Wake up on the boat. Look outside. See the water. Decide where we're going next. That's the goal. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to quit your job, retire early, live on a sailboat, and sail the Caribbean, follow along as we turn that dream into reality. ⚓ WELCOME ABOARD SAILING PEREGRINE.
