Self-tacking jibs seem like magic—just turn the wheel and the sail does all the work. But the reality is far more complicated. In this video, we break down the engineering, the compromises, and the hard truths about self-tacking jib systems on board a Gunboat 66. From curved tracks and sheeting angles to friction points and the dreaded "outforce" lines, we explore why some systems work beautifully and others leave you fighting the helm. What we cover: Why your self-tacker might not actually self-tack The critical difference between curved and straight tracks Why the sheet lead position changes everything The friction problem (and why some systems are doomed) How to spot a good setup vs. a bad compromise Whether you're shopping for a new boat, upgrading your rig, or just trying to understand why your jib keeps sticking in the middle of a tack, this video lays out the truth.

Episode 255 We pick things up 40 miles into our day passage from Crookhaven to Manly in Sydney. The first anchorage we spot is Quarantine Bay, so we swing in and end up exploring one of the most fascinating pieces of Sydney’s maritime history — the place where new arrivals were once isolated and checked for diseases before entering Australia. Back on board, we tackle what should’ve been a quick DIY job… and of course it unravels into a hilarious mess of tools, mistakes, and pure boat‑life chaos.

HARBOR LOCKDOWN at LAS VELAS. Logic dictated a standard departure for our friends, but the sub-surface reality was a mission-critical threat to the fleet. The Navy ran aground in the harbor before a ship even hit the reef, eventually forcing authorities to string cables across the harbor entrance. On SV Agua Azul, we don't have the luxury of a tow. If the NAVIGATION CHANNEL is obstructed by Navy cables, the logic flow stops. This is the forensic truth of DOMINICAN HARBOR LOGISTICS. . THE REVEAL 🔓 DIY FAILS. To restore the system miles from a chandlery, we spent the weekend troubleshooting local failures. We secured the INVERTER with custom-cut boards so the gear doesn't fall over on passage and executed a forensic fix on a leaking AC unit using DOUBLE HOSE CLAMPS to stop salt water from dripping onto the electronics. This was a sub-surface necessity to keep The Nest operational while the local infrastructure failed. . THE CLIFFHANGER ⏳ 11:36. The situation evolved into a survival risk during the SUPER BOWL. We skipped the WOKE HALFTIME SHOW—refusing to participate in the Bad Bunny narrative—and watched the KID ROCK HALFTIME SHOW on the tablet at the table instead. The logic pivoted from standard procedure into survival logic as we navigated the "halftime soon" local atmosphere and currency rejections at the liquor store. Watch as the mission enters a hard limit. . THE BUTT PUCKER RATING: 4/5 🍑 CONTEXT: SQUEEZE: Watching your dog lose the ability to walk due to a government-mandated vaccine reaction while your friends are trapped in the harbor by Navy cables and a "woke" halftime show is the only thing on the local TV. . 💬 VETERAN & SAILOR DEBRIEF: Ever had to stream your own halftime show because the "woke" version was too much to stomach?

🇮🇹 Dopo una lunga pausa forzata, si riparte con la preparazione alla nuova stagione. In questo video ti porto con me tra i 16 lavori fondamentali da fare sulla barca a vela prima di tornare in mare: manutenzioni, controlli e piccoli interventi indispensabili per navigare in sicurezza e senza sorprese. Questo è solo l’inizio della nuova stagione di In barca con Dario. #vento #meteo #barcavela #vela #nautica #vitainbarca #faidate #diynautico #mare #passionemare #inbarccondario #lusso #forum #dibattito #passeggiata ___________________________________________________________ 🇺🇸🇬🇧 After a long forced break, it’s finally time to get ready for the new sailing season. In this video, I’ll walk you through the 16 essential jobs to complete on a sailboat before heading back to sea: maintenance, inspections, and key fixes to sail safely and avoid surprises. This is just the beginning of the new season on Sailing with Dario. #wind #sailboat #sailing #nautical #lifeonboard #diyboat #sea #ocean #inbarccondario #walking ___________________________________________________________ 📬Per richieste commerciali/proposte di lavoro/collaborazioni: 📩 dario.bevilacqua.011@gmail.com Se hai consigli, come sempre nei commenti puoi dirmi che cosa ne pensi!

Crossing international waters was meant to be smooth sailing… but that’s not how boat life works. In this episode, we face complete engine failure at sea, leaving us troubleshooting fuel systems, bleeding lines, and hoping she starts again. But that was just the beginning. A few days later our toilet pump stopped working (and yes… that’s as inconvenient as it sounds). Then our watermaker failed, and with six people onboard, fresh water becomes very important, very fast. Just when we thought we were in the clear, we had to jump in and swim under the boat to fix our blocked speedometer, scraping out barnacles and cleaning the hull so we could sail smoothly again. This is the real side of sailing life , constant maintenance, problem solving, and learning as we go. It’s not always sunsets and calm seas… but we wouldn’t trade it for anything. Next up: we sail back down the coast of Thailand toward Malaysia for our big haul out.

Next Dimension is in exceptional condition, well maintained with low hours and light use. She is hull 54 in this popular Nordhavn 40 series. Pricing, detailed specifications and photos are available on https://www.JMYS.com Inspections are by appointment only. This video was filmed in Beaufort, NC in January of 2026. Next Dimension is a second generation (built by South Coast in China). The consumption entry document from when she was newly imported into the US (CBP-7501) will be handed to the buyer. The first 45 hulls were built by Pacific Seacraft in California. All Nordhavn 40s are born from the same tooling, but PAE, the parent company of Nordhavn, differentiates the two versions in this series as Mark I US made, and Mark II China built. This design has generous interior accommodations (saloon and galley on the entry level, raised pilothouse and two staterooms with one head on the lower level) and a seakindly ride through the water. Next Dimension was ordered with the optional fly bridge, which provides an excellent outdoor area above the pilothouse for taking command underway or relaxing when at rest. The saloon is spacious because it is pushed out on both sides, no wasted space filled with rarely used walking side decks. The entry level merges the saloon into the galley with a set of stairs up to the raised pilothouse or down to the accommodations deck. The owner stateroom is forward, there is a shared head and shower and the guest stateroom has two bunk berths. The engine room is surprisingly spacious, benefitting from the proprietary “maintenance strakes” in the hull mold that provides additional headroom on both sides of the main engine. Systems and equipment are selected and installed for reliability and service ease. The pilothouse is arranged for optimal operation with good sight lines and easy to reach controls. The flybridge adds a second command station and the tender is mounted on the boat deck, launched by the mast and boom. For stabilization, she has both paravane outriggers and active fin stabilizers. The Nordhavn 40 is a full displacement trawler that was designed and built to transit oceans. A sistership completed a 26-week circumnavigation in 2001 (with listing broker Jeff Merrill crewing a leg). The Nordhavn 40 design is the smallest passage maker built by PAE and boasts a 3,000 mile range. Most Nordhavn 40 owners are “owner operators” who enjoy the reliability of this design and savor time aboard, planning, traveling and resting at anchor. For additional information visit: https://www.Nordhavn40.com to learn more about this great design and review previous Nordhavn 40’s that JMYS has marketed. There are several other Nordhavn 40 videos that Jeff Merrill has filmed – these remain online published on our YouTube channel for those doing their research. Be sure to keep an eye out for what might pop up next on https://www.Nordhavn40forsale.com and we invite you to join our email list to get new listing notifications. If you would like additional information about the Nordhavn 40 model, or have one you wish to sell, please get in touch with Jeff Merrill, CPYB to discuss your plans.

DIY Stovetop Cabin Heater: https://www.practical-sailor.com/belowdecks-amenities/cabin-comfort/diy-stovetop-cabin-heater/ Living on a boat off-grid sounds simple until you actually try it. No shore power. No marina hookups. No endless electricity. Just batteries, solar, systems, and the constant question of whether everything will last until morning. In this video, we break down what living on a boat off-grid is really like, and the things no one explains clearly when they talk about cruising life. This isn’t a fantasy highlight reel. It’s a practical look at how people actually manage power, water, airflow, and daily life while living aboard without being plugged in. We cover real off-grid boat tips including: – How to minimize electricity use without sacrificing comfort – Why heating water and cooking with propane saves massive amounts of power – When to use electric water heaters so solar can replace the energy immediately – Why oversizing solar production matters more than giant battery banks – How air conditioning destroys off-grid energy budgets and what works instead – Smart ventilation using wind scoops, dorades, hatches, and airflow paths – Phantom power loads that quietly drain batteries overnight – Why hard switches and DC systems matter offshore – The real power draw of inverters and satellite internet systems like Starlink If you’re thinking about living on a sailboat full-time, cruising off-grid, or anchoring without shore power, this video will help you understand what actually works, what quietly fails, and how experienced liveaboards plan their systems and daily habits. Off-grid boat life isn’t about deprivation. It’s about understanding energy, timing your loads, and building systems that work with nature instead of fighting it.

During our overnight passage, we discovered that our navigation lights weren’t working, so we began troubleshooting to figure out whether the bulb had failed or if the wiring had corroded. After running into a bigger issue than expected, we decided to pause the project until we can get the right parts. Thankfully, we had a much more exciting reason for coming to Moorea: swimming with the humpback whales. And what a welcome distraction it was! We joined Dr. Poole for a half-day whale tour and spent hours in the water with a mother and her calf. Getting to be so close to them—after waiting an entire year for this moment—was absolutely unforgettable. #HumpbackWhales, #WhaleEncounter, #SwimmingWithWhales, #BoatingLife, #SailingAdventure, #MarineLife, #OceanExploration, #BoatMaintenance, #NavLightTroubleshooting, #FrenchPolynesia, #AdventureAtSea, #WildlifeCloseUp, #TravelVlog, #OceanAdventure, #SailingVlog, #boatprojects 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!

Is this the best budget catamaran on the market, or a floating money pit? We found a Fountaine Pajot Mahi 36 Evolution listed for a suspiciously low price. On paper, it’s a capable bluewater cruiser with twin engines and a solid layout. So why is the market ignoring it? In this video, we investigate the 5 Reasons Why This Catamaran is So Cheap: The Size Trap: Why 36-foot cats are disappearing from the market. The "Ex-Charter" Stigma: Does a rental history ruin a boat's value? Layout Dealbreakers: Why the 3-cabin version kills resale potential. The Multihull Tax: The hidden costs of maintaining two hulls and two engines. The Secret Value: Why smart sailors are buying these boats anyway.

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. In this episode of our liveaboard sailing journey, we leave our peaceful anchorage and sail back to the marina — shifting from island life to the reality of boat jobs and preparing our sailboat for long-term world cruising. This is the true rhythm of liveaboard sailboat life: sail, maintain, improve, repeat. After spending time at anchor living the off-grid sailing life, it’s time to get stuck into the smaller tasks that come with owning and living on a sailboat. While the big upgrades might be done, boat maintenance never stops, and every job we complete gets us one step closer to our goal of sailing around the world. From system checks and minor repairs to ongoing improvements, this episode shows the practical side of cruising sailboat ownership. We sail back across the bay, enjoying the simple pleasure of being under sail, before tying up at the marina where the tools come back out. This is real liveaboard cruising life — balancing adventure with responsibility and learning what it truly takes to prepare a bluewater cruising sailboat for offshore passages and long-term travel. If you’re interested in sailboat living, beginner sailing, boat ownership, or you’re a sailboat owner working through your own project list, this episode will feel very familiar. There’s always something to fix, adjust, clean, or improve when you live on a boat, and these small jobs are just as important as the major upgrades when it comes to safety, reliability, and comfort at sea. Our journey is all about turning our cruising sailboat into a capable, self-sufficient home as we work toward full-time liveaboard sailing and traveling the world by sailboat. These marina days may not be as glamorous as tropical anchorages, but they are a vital part of the cruising lifestyle and what makes long-term offshore sailing possible. Follow along as we show the behind-the-scenes side of boat life, the constant learning curve of liveaboard sailors, and the steady progress toward our dream of sailing around the world — one small boat job at a time.

Winter has fully set in around Arabella in Cornerbrook, Newfoundland—the harbor is freezing, ice sheets are moving with the tide, and keeping the boat safe becomes a daily task. This week we show how we protect a liveaboard sailboat in icy conditions using a deicer (bubbler system) and even a floating log to shield the hull from shifting ice. Once the boat is secured, we head out for two unique ice climbing days on Newfoundland’s west coast. First, we climb a 200-foot frozen waterfall and rappel using V-threads—leaving nothing behind on the ice. Then we top-rope surreal sea cliffs formed by freezing ocean spray at Bottle Cove, where ice crashes directly into the Atlantic below. From winter boat maintenance to safe rappelling techniques, ice screw anchors, autoblocks, and climbing over ocean waves, this week blends cold-weather sailing life with technical ice climbing in one of Canada’s most dramatic coastal landscapes. -------------------------- 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!

After 73 days in the boatyard…the rudder saga finally ends. We designed them. Second-guessed them. Stressed about foam compression. Ripped off Coosa board. Glassed them. Sanded until our arms stopped working. And then realised the boat wasn’t even high enough to fit them. Classic. In this episode we’re finally finishing our DIY catamaran rudders on our 57ft abandoned catamaran - testing our bearings, setting our 6mm hull gap, bogging, fairing and doing everything we can to make sure these blades are ready for launch in 7 days. This is the last major job standing between us and the water. We’ve lived on a steel Adams 35 for five years, steel fabrication we understand. Fibreglass rudders with coosa board and H115 foam cores ? That’s been a STEEP learning curve. Huge thanks to Riley, Callum, Dayne and the team at Ocean Degree at The Boat Works for helping us through the glassing phase - and to our mates who continue to lend tools, time and moral support as this deadline looms. Seven days. Very little energy left. But these rudders are going on - one way or another!! _____________________________________________________________________________ For ad-free and early release episodes, behind the scenes content and live updates, check out our Patreon!

This week we continue heading south on the Intracoastal Waterway, making our way toward Palm Beach, Florida. What starts as a fairly normal cruising day quickly turns into something much more confronting. Between boat jobs like waterproofing our cushions and settling into life underway again, we’re hit with a scary reminder of how unpredictable life aboard can be when Nala suddenly becomes unwell and we have to rush her to the vet. It’s the kind of moment no cruising pet owner ever wants to face — and one that forces us to think seriously about what could happen when we’re far more remote. With a Pacific crossing on the horizon, this experience becomes a wake-up call about preparedness, medical planning, and the realities of life at sea when help isn’t just around the corner. This episode is a mix of cruising, boat maintenance, and real life — the good, the stressful, and everything in between. ⛵ Sailing south on the ICW 🐾 A health scare with Nala 🛠️ Boat jobs & preparations 🌊 Preparing mentally for the Pacific Thanks for being here and supporting our journey — it truly means the world to us.

When your outboard engine doesn't wanna start, it can of course have multiple reasons. From experience, the carburetor is the most common. Those little nozzles can clog up quickly and practically starve the engine. Sounds difficult but no worries, it's actually pretty straight forward. In this video I show you how to take out the carburetor, open it up, clean it safely, and reassemble everything with expected result, the engine starts and runs like new! Tools required: Socketwrenchset, screwdrivers, some rags and patience. So let's fix our Yamaha 8HP two-stroke outboard together! Enjoy the video, please like and subscribe and leave a comment, we are looking forward to it :-)!

In last week's episode, I arrived at the marina to find my Torqeedo Travel 1103C outboard had been damaged by a severe wind storm. It wasn't so much the 40 mph winds, as it was the direction of the winds directly into the marina. According to the marina staff, there were 3-4 foot waves rolling right over the breakwater and swamping all the marina docks. Several boats were damaged and the only other sailboat at the lake broke from its mooring ball and ended up against the shore. So in this episode, the replacement part arrives from Torqeedo. I teardown the Torqeedo Travel motor, install the new part, reassemble the motor and perform a function check. Overall, it was a pretty easy installation, albeit quite expensive. This incident really has me wondering if keeping my sailboat in a marina in this volatile part of Colorado is sustainable. There's a reason this marina only has 12 slips and I've been the only sailboat to ever rent a slip here. Maybe it's time to become a daysailor?

In Part 3 of the Vision Yachts Owner Q&A series, owner Shelly sits down with Vision Yachts CEO James to discuss the latest innovations, onboard upgrades, and what the future holds for Vision Yachts. This episode dives into the new additions to Vision catamarans that excite us most, including advancements in sail technology, improved onboard efficiency, and the move from AC to DC air-conditioning systems to reduce complexity and reliance on AC equipment. Shelly also asks an important question: what challenges has Vision faced along the way, and how have we overcome them? James shares honest insights into lessons learned, problem-solving at the yard, and how these experiences continue to shape better boats and better owner support. The conversation wraps up with an exciting look ahead to 2026, including: The upcoming Vision 484 model Expansion of the global Vision dealer network Plans for a Vision owners’ Med Rally Encouraging owners to sail further, explore more, and embrace adventure If you’re considering buying a catamaran, already own a Vision, or simply want a deeper understanding of how Vision Yachts continues to innovate and evolve, this episode offers valuable insight from the inside.

The work continues on Salt & Light, some ceiling sheeting, and cutting the hatch in the saloon roof.

Yacht maintenance is not always easy, especially when it comes to cleaning the hull. In this video, we show a yacht hull cleaning method we had never experienced before — cleaning a yacht while standing on the keel. This was our first time using this technique, and honestly, at the beginning we did not believe it was possible. Now, after seeing the results, we are confident that cleaning a yacht hull on the keel really works. This video is about real yacht maintenance and real sailing experience. If you are interested in yacht maintenance, hull cleaning, sailing life, or boat care, this method may surprise you. In this video you will see: - yacht maintenance in real conditions - cleaning a yacht hull on the keel - an alternative yacht hull cleaning method - why this method actually works Yacht maintenance is a big part of sailing life, and learning new ways to maintain your boat makes sailing easier and safer.

New cockpit enclosure in the works!

EP64 of Sailing Roam is full of surprises! What started as prepping the anchor chain became a complete windlass replacement. Watch Geri and Shawn clean, repair, and upgrade their cruising catamaran in this hands-on refit episode. After nearly 18 months of refit work, it was finally time to tackle one of the last untouched systems on our sailboat refit: the windlass and chain locker, all in preparation for a shiny new anchor chain. In this episode, we dig into inspecting our existing windlass and gypsy to see if they were still serviceable—or if repair, maintenance, or full replacement was unavoidable. What we found was worse than expected, and honestly a little scary: the windlass was in such poor condition that we’re lucky it hadn’t failed on us already. As Shawn wrestled with removing the windlass, we uncovered another major issue hiding in plain sight—a rotten wood bulkhead inside the chain locker. Years of rust, dirt, and debris from the old galvanized anchor chain had turned the chain locker into a filthy, neglected space. Geri took on the big cleanup job, sanding and cleaning the chain locker down to bare surfaces, while Shawn cut out the rotten bulkhead entirely. To make sure this problem never comes back, we replaced the failed wood with Coosa board, a rot-proof composite material ideal for marine environments. We tabbed the Coosa in with fiberglass, creating a strong, permanent structural repair. After the glass work cured, Geri sanded the resin drips, applied epoxy primer, and finished the space with bilge coat paint. The transformation is incredibly satisfying—watching a grimy, rust-stained chain locker become a clean, bright, and beautiful space again. The locker is now fully prepped and ready to receive new anchor chain… just as soon as the new windlass arrives. This episode is a perfect example of refit life: one project leads to another, unexpected problems surface, and in the end the boat is safer, stronger, and better than before. If you enjoy sailboat refits, anchoring systems, windlass repairs, chain locker rebuilds, and real-world cruising prep, this episode is for you. 00:00 Short intro 00:13 Channel intro 00:32 Remove windlass 12:01 Clean out chain locker 12:58 Sand chain locker 17:31 Clean out rotten wood 20:43 Replace wood with Coosa 25:00 Prime and Paint 27:36 Wrap up 27:58 Like, subscribe, BYE! 28:20 End Card ☝More about us, our adventures, and how we do all this on our website.

After an ice storm and a late-night show, we return to our sailboat to see what winter left behind. Frozen lines, rigging checks, and a full winter boat inspection to make sure everything survived. After the storm, we bring in provisions for the weekend, wake up to quiet marina mornings, make coffee and a warm omelet bowl with music playing in the background, and take care of a failing electrical outlet onboard. This is real winter sailboat life—maintenance, problem-solving, and slowing down together. If you’re into sailing vlogs, liveaboard life, or learning what winter boating is really like, this episode is for you. ⚓ Subscribe for honest sailing life, boat maintenance, and cozy moments from the galley.

Can You Really Sew a Sail Yourself? Sure! Removing and repairing a genoa isn’t exactly a small job – especially when you’re doing it yourself. In this episode, Jason takes on the first challenge solo: figuring out how to remove the genoa and get it off the boat with no help! Once it’s down, good mate, Jim, steps in and the real test begins – resewing the sunshade protection using a Sailrite sewing machine neither of them had ever used before. What could possibly go wrong? Armed with the instruction manual (and a fair bit of optimism), the boys tackle the stitching and, against the odds, end up with a seriously solid result. No ball gowns will be sewn anytime soon, but the genoa is repaired, the stitching is strong, and ARGO is ready to go sailing again – all with minimal swearing. Huge thanks to Jim for the use of the machine and for giving up his time to help get ARGO back up and sailing smoothly. Right… onto the next boat jobs. Thanks for watching.

A deep dive into the digital design workflow behind a custom composite shower floor for a sailboat refit. This isn't just CAD—it's the full cycle: starting with hands-on "Cardboard Assisted Design" (CAD) for ergonomics and feel, translating that into precise 3D computer models, verifying fits with 3D scanning, and finally preparing files for 3D printing the moulds. In this video, we cover: Transitioning from a physical cardboard mock-up to a digital 3D model. Detailed CAD design of the shower floor's drainage: creating a central valley, specifying falls (slopes), and integrating a large inspection hatch. Engineering the hatch: seal compression stops, water flow ramps, and dual retention systems (bungee & mechanical). Designing the integrated sump with a hair trap and carbon fiber drain tube. Using 3D scanning to verify CAD models against the actual, irregular hull geometry for critical component placement (like the toilet). Preparing the CAD model for 3D printing: splitting the mould, print settings for vacuum infusion (shells, infill), and lessons on material consistency. This video is for makers, boat builders, and anyone interested in the hybrid process of blending traditional problem-solving with modern digital fabrication tools.

Full Keel vs. Fin Keel: Which one will keep you safe offshore? It is the oldest debate in cruising. Traditional sailors swear by the heavy-duty tracking of a full keel, while modern sailors love the speed and agility of a fin keel. But when you are thousands of miles from land and a storm hits, which hull shape do you want under your feet? In this video, we compare Full Keel vs. Fin Keel across 5 critical categories for ocean crossing: Heavy Weather Handling: Which boat heaves-to better and tracks straighter in a gale? Grounding & Durability: What happens when you hit a container or run aground? Repair at Sea: Which rudder is easier to fix when disaster strikes? Speed & Performance: Is the speed of a fin keel worth the trade-off in comfort? Autopilot & Tracking: Which boat wears out your self-steering gear faster? If you are planning to cross an ocean, you need to watch this before you buy your boat. ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro: The Great Keel Debate 01:02 1. Handling in Heavy Weather (Comfort vs. Speed) 02:20 2. Durability & Grounding Risks (Encapsulated vs. Bolted) 03:24 3. Maintenance & Repair at Sea (Skeg vs. Spade Rudder) 04:47 4. Performance & Speed on Long Passages 06:47 5. Steering & Tracking (Autopilot Stress) 08:55 Outro: Which Keel Fits Your Style? 🔔 Subscribe for more sailboat design comparisons, bluewater cruising tips, and honest boat reviews. 💬 Team Full Keel or Team Fin Keel?

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. In this episode of our liveaboard sailing journey, we drop anchor in a beautiful island anchorage for a few days of true off-grid sailing life — and it’s the perfect chance to properly test our brand-new solar upgrade on our sailboat. This is real cruising sailboat life as we prepare for sailing around the world, balancing boat systems, ocean living, and a little bit of paradise. We’ve recently upgraded our solar panels, batteries, and onboard power system, and now it’s time to see how our off-grid power setup handles everyday liveaboard life. From running the fridge and charging devices to powering our essential gear, we’re closely monitoring how our sailboat electrical system performs while we live at anchor like we would on a long-term bluewater cruising adventure. But this episode isn’t just about boat upgrades and sailboat systems — it’s about the lifestyle that comes with living on a sailboat. We spend our days swimming straight off the boat, exploring the island beach, and enjoying the freedom that comes with anchoring in remote locations. This is the dream of cruising life, slow travel by sailboat, and world travel by boat. As the sun goes down, we share sundowners with friends in the anchorage — one of our favourite parts of the sailing community and liveaboard lifestyle. These moments are what make cruising under sail so special: simple living, ocean views, good company, and complete freedom from life on land. If you’re interested in sailboat living, liveaboard sailing, boat life, beginner sailing, or you’re a sailboat owner dreaming of sailing the world, this episode shows both sides of the journey — the practical side of building a capable, self-sufficient cruising boat, and the incredible lifestyle that comes with it. Follow along as we turn our boat into an ocean-ready home and take more steps toward our goal of sailing around the world. This is real liveaboard cruising life — solar power, saltwater swims, island beaches, and sunsets at anchor. Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:28 Arriving at the Anchorage 03:31 Swimming Off the Boat 04:16 Tender Off The Deck 05:06 To the Beach 06:28 Sundowners 07:45 Cockpit Lights 08:12 Early Morning Swims 10:23 Breakfast on the Sailboat 10:45 Anchor Up Please leave a comment, like and subscribe to follow our journey. Join us now as we settle into liveaboard life and get our boat ready to take off and sail around the world. As new sailors we want to share all of our learnings and keep it real in our videos. We want to show step by step what it takes to choose a boat, buy the boat and learn how to sail. Our sailing learning curve is steep so come along with us as we learn and grow as liveaboard sailors. We promise you will have a laugh!

INYO is stunning. She is virtually a new boat. Officially a 2024, this Fountaine Pajot Isla 40 is barely broken in, and she is entering the period where no serious maintenance will be required for many years. Her owner bought the boat at the factory, sailed to the Canaries, then finally crossing the Atlantic to Grenada. The passage was almost entirely under sails, and the engines have just over 200 hours! The owner is selling because of life circumstances unforeseen. INYO epitomizes contemporary cruising catamarans. At 40’, she is very accommodating as well as being easily manageable for any sized crew. She is a coveted owner’s version, with ample solar panels and batteries, high output alternators, and all the upgrades one would expect from a state of the art cruising catamaran. What distinguishes INYO are several things. 1. Condition, she is as new. 2. The Fountaine Pajot formula, which blends comfort and sailing performance nicely, never losing sight of the fact this is a fine sailing catamaran. 3. INYO is in Grenada, ready to go. Grenada is a fantastic place to start from, and is hurricane safe should the new owner elect to stay south this summer season. If you are in the market for the best Isla 40 on the market, or even a brand new boat, consider INYO. She is ready to go, and is for quick sale.

We hit the road with friends Max and Karen for an unforgettable journey into the heart of Mexico — starting in Tequila, where the agave is blue, the pours are heavy, and the stories come easy. 🍹🇲🇽 This road trip is less about the destination and more about the moments in between: backroads, local culture, late nights, early mornings, and the kind of travel that reminds you why Mexico gets under your skin in the first place. From drinking tequila where it’s actually made to chasing authentic experiences far from the tourist trail, this is Mexico as we love it — raw, welcoming, and wildly alive. If you love slow travel, road trips, real Mexico, and adventures with good friends, you’re in the right place. Don't miss out on upcoming sailing adventures, DIY stories, and equipment reviews!

We're back at it in the workshop, and in today's episode we do a deep dive into a topic that we've gotten sooo many questions about: What kind of finish will we choose for the hull? There's a lot to take into consideration like corrosion prevention, cost, ease of maintenance, and of course how sexy will it look 🔥 And I think we've managed to strike a good balance with our final choice!

After an ice storm and a late-night show, we return to our sailboat to see what winter left behind. Frozen lines, rigging checks, and a full winter boat inspection to make sure everything survived. After the storm, we bring in provisions for the weekend, wake up to quiet marina mornings, make coffee and a warm omelet bowl with music playing in the background, and take care of a failing electrical outlet onboard. This is real winter sailboat life—maintenance, problem-solving, and slowing down together. If you’re into sailing vlogs, liveaboard life, or learning what winter boating is really like, this episode is for you. ⚓ Subscribe for honest sailing life, boat maintenance, and cozy moments from the galley. Cheers! - Rodney & Cyndi
