Dirt-cheap Winter Insulation for Liveaboards: https://www.practical-sailor.com/boat-maintenance/dirt-cheap-winter-insulation-for-liveaboards In this video, we dive into one of the most important — and most ignored — parts of boat ownership: thru-hulls and seacocks. These tiny fittings decide whether your boat stays floating or becomes an unplanned submarine, and most sailors never give them a second thought. We cover everything you need to know to keep your boat safe, including: • What thru-hulls and seacocks actually do • The #1 cause of below-waterline failures • Why some materials fail (brass, stainless, composites, bronze) • How to inspect your system • Common installation mistakes • Which hoses and clamps are actually safe • What to replace, when, and why • Simple monthly maintenance you should be doing • Real-world failure scenarios • How to make sure your boat never sinks from a preventable leak Whether you’re a new boat owner or you’ve been sailing for decades, this guide will help you understand the most important valves on your boat — and how to keep the sea on the outside where it belongs. 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/

It’s time to leave Arabella for six weeks as Steve and Robin head back to the United States for the holidays—but not before getting the boat safely settled for early winter in Newfoundland. With the cover on, heaters set, and friends keeping an eye on things, Arabella is ready to rest while the crew visits family. This episode follows the transition from boat life to shore life and then dives into something special: a full behind-the-scenes look at the complete teardown, inspection, cleaning, and rebuild of Arabella’s feathering propeller at AccuTech in Dover, New Hampshire. From seized blades and marine growth to German-engineered brake rings and precision pitch tuning, you’ll see exactly what goes into a proper feathering prop service—and why it matters. Whether you’re here for winter prep, travel days, or deep mechanical nerdiness, this episode has a little bit of everything. In this episode: • Preparing Arabella for six winter weeks alone • Holiday travel on the ferry back to the States • Limited-run Arabella merch clean-out • Searching for affordable boat insurance • Full feathering propeller teardown + how it really works • Pitch tuning, brake rings, and expert maintenance tips • What causes prop damage—and how to avoid expensive mistakes • Before-and-after transformation of the prop -------------------------- Episode 374 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!

► We didn’t manage to catch up with Honda at Metstrade, due to conflicting schedules, but their major new product, a new V6 engine, was unveiled at the show. We finally got to see this new outboard at the Paris Nautic Show with Thomas Delavenne, regional manager of Honda Marine France. ► The engine, available in 200, 225, and 250 horsepower versions, features a completely redesigned look. Understated, more contemporary, and now consistent with the more powerful BF350, the new V6 significantly modernizes the range. While the engine is very attractive, it’s the internal evolution that really makes an impression. Honda has reworked the injection system, which historically could have been improved in certain generations. The result is enhanced acceleration, smoother power and, according to the brand, up to 20% less fuel consumption in certain speed ranges. The exhaust has also been optimized, significantly reducing noise, a sensitive issue on family boats and outboard-powered multihulls. ► Another notable advance is full compatibility with the BF350’s rigging. Controls, wiring harnesses, and electronic logic are harmonized, simplifying original equipment installation and refining twin-engine setups. ► Honda also emphasizes accessories, a feature that Thomas is keen to highlight. The new electronic controls offer a more precise and fluid feel. The electronics now include useful features such as trim support, which automatically adjusts the trim according to speed, and auto-tilt, which raises the engine with a double click without remaining pressed. These are small improvements, but they really change life on board. ► The Honda Pro range of oils and consumables now accompanies these engines, designed to stabilize performance and facilitate maintenance. ► 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!

Welcome aboard Tangaroa — Blaine & Janis' legendary aluminum trawler-style liveaboard, also known as The Never Ending Sea Trial. We spent the day exploring every corner of this boat: • the extended aft deck packed with fuel, water & storage • their winter-ready enclosed back deck and wood stove • the remodeled galley and pilot house • crew quarters, workshops, and hidden spaces • and finally… one of the wildest DIY engine rooms we’ve ever seen Blaine replaced the original Detroit Diesels with two Cummins truck engines, engineered custom systems, built his own charging setup, installed a huge lithium bank, and created a mechanical masterpiece below deck. If you’re into boats, engines, creative problem-solving, or long-range liveaboard life, this tour is pure inspiration.

Inspecting a previous repair on my 2010 Precision 18 sailboat after finishing the sailing season in Colorado. Last year, I noticed my stern horn cleats were loose, the sealant at the deck had been broken, and they needed to be re-bedded. All boats require regular maintenance and re-bedding horn cleats, chain plates and other deck hardware is just a normal part of sailboat maintenance and ownership. Since the factory installation of the horn cleats only used stainless steel washers as backing, I decided to add a 1/2" HDPE board as a backing block to help strengthen the mounting location. I used JB Marine Weld epoxy and 3M 5200 sealant along with new stainless bolts, washers and lock nuts for this project. Subscribe and follow @ColoradoSailing on YouTube for more original sailing videos, gear, boat maintenance, sailing tips and travel content as I sail my Precision 18 trailer sailer and Precision 16 sailing dinghy in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and South Dakota. #lakesailing #mountainsailing #sailing #boatmaintenance #howto #boatrepair

We’ve officially brought the old crew back together. Brett, Ayanna, me (Jade), plus our salty sea dogs Dingo and Penny — five souls, two days across the Atlantic, with about seventeen more to go before we reach the other side where Ayanna’s newly purchased boat is waiting for her. We’re uploading these videos in near real time from the middle of the ocean. As you watch this, we’re still somewhere out here on the deep blue, rolling with whatever today throws at us. No polished edits. No retakes. Just raw life at sea — sleep-deprived shifts, wing-on-wing sailing, dog ear surgeries, laundry strung across the cockpit, fishing attempts, spa day braids, DIY safety gear, and the daily dance with the weather. Today’s episode is a full window into what it really looks like to sail across an ocean with your best friends, your partner, and two adventure-loving pups. You can find our live tracker in the description below — hop aboard as ghost crew and follow along with our crossing.

What the hell happened to catamarans? The multihull market is falling off a cliff. Boats that once sold in a bidding frenzy are now sitting idle—collecting dust and dropping prices like dead weight. This isn't a dip; it's a full-on market crash. We're diving into 5 brutal reasons why catamaran prices are suddenly CHEAP and why the "floating condo" dream turned into a financial bust: The Post-Pandemic Hangover: Why thousands of new owners are now dumping lightly used cats. Ownership Costs Catching Up: Why two hulls mean double the maintenance (and expensive, specialized slips). Brutal Depreciation: Why these luxury vessels suffer car-level depreciation, losing massive value in just 2-5 years. Supply Flood: The economic reality of too many sellers and not enough cautious buyers. Dock Queens: Why dream boats are turning into floating liabilities that owners just want out of. If you’ve been waiting for the storm to break, this might be your moment—but you need to go in with eyes wide open. ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro: The Catamaran Crash 00:41 1. The Post-Pandemic Boat Market Hangover 02:48 2. Too Many Sellers, Not Enough Buyers 04:42 3. Catamaran Ownership Costs Are Catching Up 07:24 4. Depreciation Nobody Talks About 10:03 5. Why Dream Boats Turn Into Dock Queens 12:14 Outro: The Opportunity 🔔 Subscribe for more honest market analysis, boat buying advice, and real talk from the water. 💬 What's your local market like?

Join Capt. Jay Williams for a clear, real-world breakdown the major sailboat rudder designs: skeg-hung, spade, twin rudders, and aperture/keel-mounted rudders. Whether you’re evaluating a bluewater cruiser, buying your first sailboat, or simply want to understand how rudder design impacts safety, handling, and performance, this episode gives you the knowledge every sailor should have. Jay draws from a lifetime at sea—cruising, running commercial vessels, managing shipyards, and overseeing new builds—to explain how each rudder type performs in real conditions: offshore swell, tight maneuvering, grounding scenarios, and heavy-weather helming. This is the practical, experience-based insight you won’t get from a textbook. ⚓ What Jay Covers in This Video The structural and performance differences between skeg-hung, spade, twin, and aperture rudders Which designs offer the best protection, steering feel, efficiency, and redundancy How rudder type influences offshore reliability and maintenance requirements Why some modern performance cruisers favor twin rudders How older full-keel and aperture designs behave under sail and power This video is essential for sailors considering a long-range cruiser, passagemaker, performance yacht, or classic full-keel sailboat — and for anyone who wants to understand the most critical steering component on a boat. If you have questions about sailboat systems, offshore readiness, or purchasing the right yacht for your goals, contact Jay Williams at David Walters Yachts. 📞 Jay Williams – David Walters Yachts: 305-788-1121 📧 Email: jay@davidwaltersyachts.com 🌐 davidwaltersyachts.com – Search all listings and market reports Sailboat rudders, skeg hung rudder, skeg rudder, spade rudder, twin rudders, aperture rudder, keel hung rudder, rudder design, rudder types explained, bluewater sailboat design, sailboat steering, boat rudder maintenance, offshore cruising safety, sailboat survey tips, cruising yacht design, yacht rudder failure, rudder bearings, sailboat handling, modern performance cruisers, full keel boats, sailboat basics, sailing education, Captain Jay Williams, David Walters Yachts

Oggi a bordo si fa manutenzione! In questo video mi occupo della manutenzione dei winch della barca a vela, uno dei lavori più importanti per navigare in sicurezza e senza intoppi. Ti porto con me passo dopo passo, in modo semplice e senza paroloni tecnici, per farti vedere cosa succede davvero quando si smonta, si pulisce e si rimette in ordine un winch. È uno di quei lavori “dietro le quinte” che fanno la differenza… e che danno anche una grande soddisfazione.

Sailboat Buyers BEWARE: That dreamboat can turn into a very expensive floating regret faster than you can say “seacock.” We expose the 5 big mistakes new buyers make—all of them completely avoidable if you know what to look for. This video walks you through the harsh realities of boat ownership, covering what sinks more dreams than storms ever could: The "Instagram Boat" Trap: Why falling for charm and varnish leads to endless maintenance. Cost Underestimation: Why you must budget 10% of the boat’s value annually for upkeep. The Surveyor’s Warning: Why skipping the marine survey or ignoring the red flags is a catastrophe waiting to happen. Lifestyle Mismatch: Choosing the wrong boat for your actual life, not your fantasy life. Neglecting the Learning Curve: Why buying a 40-footer and trying to "figure it out as you go" is a recipe for disaster. Buy the boat that lets you live the dream without destroying it in the process. ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro: Expensive Floating Regrets 00:48 1. Falling for the “Instagram Boat” 02:09 2.

After weeks of heavy boat work in the yard—and a visa overstay to prove it—we were more than ready to get moving again. Before casting off, Darroch treated everyone on Rebak Island to a surprisingly captivating talk about ants (yes, ants!), turning a simple island hangout into a mini nature lesson. Once we finally left Malaysia, we took a moment to dive into the traditional process of making rice and wrapped up all the checkout formalities before setting sail for Thailand. Reaching a cool Thai island felt like the perfect reward, and celebrating the crossing with our friends from Best Life Sailing made it even better. A bit of science, a lot of boat work, new experiences, and the joy of finally moving on—this episode has a little of everything.

GÖRÜNTÜ KORKUTUCU. PANİĞE GEREK YOK, TEKNENİN YÜZERİNDE SIKINTI YOK. Zincirlikte çalışmaları ilerlettikçe işlerin düşündüğümüzden ciddi olduğu ortaya çıktı. Ciddi bir sac tamir işinin bizi beklediğini hazmetmeye çalışırken bir de delik bulduk. Hemen acil kaynak ustası arayışına girdik. Neyseki teknenin yüzeri ile ilgili bir sıkıntı yok. Bu arada teknedeki ilk projemizi de bitirmiş olduk. 20 günde sadece bir proje mi bitti diye düşününce hafif korkutucu geliyor ama bundan sonraki çorap söküğü. Su deposunu saca kadar zımparaladık, Jotun - Tankguard 412 ile boyayıp mis gibi kapattık. Bir yandan minderlerin atılması, yeni minder siparişi falan.

In this episode, we first tackle boat maintenance, checking our fuel lines and replacing the desiccant beads—a clear sign they've been hard at work! After the boat project is finished, we attend the Protestant church, then the real cultural excitement begins. First, we attend our favorite village's spectacular Heiva dance evening, followed by an incredible, bonus dance event! A visiting cultural group from Rapa Nui (Easter Island) shows up, and despite the pouring rain, their performance teaches us all about the fascinating differences between their ancient style of dance and the high-energy Polynesian rhythms of Bora Bora. NEW TO OUR CHANNEL? We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we had very NO sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia. So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you. We are so glad you have decided to join us, and we hope that you will find our story so compelling that it will inspire you to chase your dreams too! As a viewer, we consider you to be part of our family and look forward to getting to know you. Don't hesitate to comment on our videos and ask questions. We will do our best to answer every correspondence! All we ask is that you have patience with us as we work really hard to improve our camera/video techniques and ability to tell a story. Hopefully, you will be as BLOWN AWAY from watching, as we are in experiencing and producing our adventures! HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT US? If you wish to support our video efforts, all we ask is that you SUBSCRIBE, give a THUMBS UP, SHARE our videos with your friends, AND COMMENT! WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET TO KNOW US MORE DEEPLY?

Facing the challenges of solo sailing as a female sailor, I navigated the highs and lows of single-handed sailing while tackling DIY boat repair projects, from engine fixes to full boat refits on a budget. My life aboard was a mix of adventure and reflection, shaping an independent woman’s story of resilience, personal growth, and embracing the sailing lifestyle. Along the way, I became an ocean conservation activist with In Mocean, stumbled across my dog Boga, and discovered the joys and challenges of sailing with a dog. Now, I’m exploring a new chapter, having jumped aboard my partner’s Hallberg Rassy Rasmus with Boga and his Australian Kelpie, Jango. Together, we face the unique dynamics and challenges of sailing as a couple, balancing off-grid life, sustainable sailing, and the demands of long-term cruising. If you’re interested in remote sailing adventures, authentic sailing stories, and the realities of living on a sailboat, this channel offers a glimpse into the world of DIY projects, the sailing lifestyle, and life’s transformative moments on the water. Follow along for inspiring stories that reflect on the beauty of sailing, personal growth, and chasing dreams—one wave at a time.

Bu sezon başında Aygaz Mobil hizmetini kullanarak teknemizin gaz sistemini detaylı bir kontrolden geçirmiştik. ⛵️💙🧑🏻‍🍳 Gaz hortumlarımızın kullanım süresi dolduğu için yeniledik ve tüm bağlantıları sızıntı testinden geçirdik. 📌 Not: Video çekildikten bir süre sonra Aygaz, marin gaz kontrol hizmetini uygulamasını kaldırdı. Yani bu işlem artık aynı şekilde randevu ile yapılmıyor. Ancak bu video, teknede gaz güvenliği konusunda nelere dikkat edilmesi gerektiğini göstermek açısından hâlâ çok değerli bir rehber niteliğinde. Bu nedenle yine de yayınlıyorum! Bu videoda: • Gaz hortumunun ne zaman değiştirilmesi gerektiğini, • Sızıntı testinin nasıl yapıldığını, • Dedantör ve bağlantı noktalarının nasıl kontrol edildiğini, • Tekne sahiplerinin sezon başında mutlaka dikkat etmesi gereken adımları adım adım anlattık. 👉 Teknede gaz sistemi, doğru bakım yapılmadığında ciddi risk oluşturabilir. Bu yüzden, hangi markayı ya da hangi servis sağlayıcıyı kullanırsanız kullanın, sezon başında gaz hattınızı mutlaka kontrol ettirin. Özellikle yaş almış teknelerde bunu önemle tavsiye ediyorum! ⚠️ Umarım bu video sizin için güvenlik açısından yol gösterici olur.

Winter prep continues aboard Arabella in Corner Brook, Newfoundland—and this week it’s time to build a proper tent over the housetop before shrink wrap goes on. With help from fellow adventurers Lina Chu (a Vietnamese-Ukrainian photographer) and her partner Peter, Steve frames a structure designed to keep out snow while still letting light in all winter—using a clear tarp section in the middle and blue shrink wrap on the ends. After the framing is up and the plan is set, the crew takes a break for an off-the-beaten-path adventure: a windy hike to check out a nearby shipwreck—the MSC Baltic III— where an enormous cable-and-winch system has been rigged to move gear back and forth to the wreck. From sawdust and screw guns to massive chains and stormy coastal views, this episode is equal parts practical boat life and Newfoundland exploration—with the final stretch of the 2025 season coming fast. In this episode: winter tent framing • shrink wrap prep • keeping light under cover • harbor life in Corner Brook • shipwreck cable system • lighthouse trail walk -------------------------- Episode #373 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!

In this video, I spend a second day sailing beautiful Angostura Reservoir near Hot Springs, South Dakota. Angostura is a state recreation area in the southwest corner of the state about 6 hours from Colorado Springs. They have a great group of local Precision sailboat owners with several P-18s, P-21s and a P-23 among the fleet. The reservoir boasts 4,700 surface acres, sandy beaches, a well-protected marina, public restrooms and much steadier sailing winds than where I normally sail in the Rocky Mountains.
