In this video, Briggs walks through his complete Optimist dinghy setup, breaking down how to rig and optimize your Opti for peak performance on the racecourse. From sail ties and hardware setup to on-the-water organization, Briggs dives into the small details that can make a big difference — helping you unlock that extra knot of boat speed. Whether you’re looking to level up your racing performance or just getting familiar with the Optimist class, this walkthrough offers practical tips for sailors, parents, and coaches alike.

► On the second-hand market for boats under 40 feet, the Lagoon 380 has become the must-have. Admittedly, this bestseller, which saw more than 900 examples built, has aged pretty well and offers remarkable comfort for its size... but for budgets just over €100,000, there are other models to consider, such as the Athena 38 by Fountaine Pajot, which offers two advantages: it is more affordable than the Lagoon and is faster under sail! ► Launched at the La Rochelle boat show in September 1994, the Athena 38 was positioned between the Tobago 35 and the Venezia 42. All the models in this second generation, designed by Joubert/Nivelt, are characterized by their blunt bows, very rounded shapes on the inside (the miracle that polyester GRP must have been for naval architects long familiar with wood, steel, aluminum, and chined bilges!) and finally the overhanging coachroof cap, which is the one feature that would be retained and still remains today. ► Lightweight and well-canvased, the Athena 38 is lively and fun to sail from the single helm station – positioned on the aft face of the coachroof, on the starboard side. Obviously, the relatively short length and skeg keels reduced do it no favors when close-hauled in bigger seas, but in all other conditions, this little catamaran will surprise more than one helmsman with its performance - which can be boosted by decent sails and the installation of folding propellers. ► The model Graham presents to us is from 2001 and is a three-cabin version - the entire starboard hull is dedicated to the owner. The nacelle offers a rounded saloon that can easily accommodate six people, a chart table/desk, and a U-shaped galley. Logically, there is only one bathroom per hull. On the starboard side, Graham has a fully equipped workshop. Admittedly, the comfort is somewhat rustic, the sill at the entrance to the nacelle is a higher than we see today, the sugarscoops are not particularly wide and the paneling is a little worn in places... but for a nearly 25-year-old multihull purchased for €115,000, the Athena 38 still has a lot to offer and, above all, can take you anywhere: An excellent base for refit! ► Technical specifications: Builder: Fountaine Pajot Architect: Joubert/Nivelt Interior design: Olivier Flahault Length: 38’ (11.6 m) Beam: 20’8” (6.3 m) Draft: 3’1” (0.95 m) Air draft: 59’ (17.85 m) Light displacement: 12,125 lbs (5.5 t) Sail area: 947 sq ft (88 m²) Motors: 2 x 20 HP Fuel: 180 l Water: 360 l Second-hand price: from €100,000 ex-tax ► 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!

Morgan 41 Used Boat Review: https://www.practical-sailor.com/sailboat-reviews/morgan-41-used-boat-test The Contessa 32 is one of the most legendary bluewater sailboats ever built — a true classic that earned its reputation the hard way. In this video, we dive deep into everything a prospective buyer needs to know: who built the Contessa 32, where it came from, how it sails, what makes it so seaworthy, and the real-world lessons learned from the 1979 Fastnet Disaster that turned this little boat into an offshore icon. We’ll cover the strengths, the weaknesses, the common problems to watch out for, and why the Contessa 32 remains one of the cheapest true bluewater-capable sailboats on the market today. If you’re dreaming of crossing oceans on a budget — or just love classic, proven offshore designs — this is a boat worth knowing intimately. In this video: • The full history of the Contessa 32 • Jeremy Rogers & David Sadler’s iconic design • How the boat performs offshore and in coastal cruising • Why a Contessa 32 survived Fastnet ’79 when so many others didn’t • What to inspect before buying one • Hull, keel, deck, rigging, and engine concerns • And whether the Contessa 32 is still a smart buy today If you’re researching bluewater boats, planning your first big passage, or simply fascinated by tough-as-nails offshore legends, this video will give you the full story.

Wie lässt sich familienfreundliches Segeln mit dem Einhandsegeln kombinieren? In meinem 2. Film „3000m unterm Kiel“ ist das die Herausforderung! Hautnah seid Ihr mit dabei, wenn es Einhand quer über das Tyrrhenische Meer geht. Nonstop 200sm von Rom/Fiumicino nach Ustica und zurück. Dort stößt die Familie dazu und es geht gemeinsam weiter nach Marettimo. Wie schon in den Jahren zuvor bleiben wir unserem Motto treu: Naturverbunden, autark und fernab der Massen unterwegs zu sein. So wird wieder in einsamen Buchten geankert, Einkäufe und Exkursionen werden mit dem Beiboot „Oma“ erledigt. Häfen werden wie immer bei uns gemieden. Seit diesem Törn ist sogar ein Tauchkompressor an Bord und verspricht aufregende Tauchgänge! Sohn Tim, inzwischen ein halbstarker, ist auch wieder mit dabei. Bootshund Jackie bereichert den Film wieder tierisch. In meinem Film „3000m unterm Kiel“ zeige ich, wie man grenzenlose Freiheit auch mitten in der Hochsaison erleben kann! Filmlänge: 54 Minuten in HD-Qualität, im Format 1080p25

I hope to see everyone in the upcoming John Kretschmer's Captain's Hour! Here is the info from his email about the zoom meeting. "The last Captain’s Hour of 2025 is this Tuesday, December 30 at 1900 EST. It’s going to be an interesting one as we discuss the many refits, modifications and serious gear choices we’ve made in nearly a quarter century of sailing. I will discuss the good decisions, and the not so good decisions I’ve made, and gear that’s worked well, and some that hasn’t. I will also describe the current refit taking place right now as we prepare for another busy season. When we reached Opua New Zealand last October, we completed our 200th training passage. I finally put numbers to paper, doing my best to figure out how many miles Quetzal and I have sailed together and it’s a bit crazy. My best guess is that it’s somewhere between 220,000 - 240,000 nm, a lot of miles and a hell of a test laboratory. When I think back to our first passage to Bermuda in May 2003 and compare that boat to the one that sailed into Opua, I am reminded of the fable of Theseus' ship, or sometimes called Theseus paradox. Theseus was the mythical kind of Athens who saved the city by slaying the Minotaur and escaped to Delos on a ship. The ship, or at least a version of it, was ceremonially sailed from Athens to Delos once a year but like all boats, needed constant maintenance. After many years, Aristotle was reputed to have asked, “is it still Theseus’ ship if it has all new wood and fittings?” Well, I am here to tell you that Quetzal may have a relaminated hull, a hard dodger, a furling staysail, new engine, and no teak decks but she is the same Quetzal, still soaring across the oceans of the world in style and escorting those of us luckily enough to sail her to a magical place. With that said, please consider joining Captain's Hour and becoming an annual subscriber. As always, there will be plenty of time for your questions. You are welcome to send them in by email ahead of time. If you are already subscribed to Captain's Hour, you will automatically receive the link to join. If you are new to Captain's Hour, you can join for one session ($25) or an annual subscription ($200), just send an email to jrkretschmer@gmail.com All sessions are recorded, so if you can't join live or you can't join for the entire session, then you will be able to watch the recording.

Day 18 of our Atlantic crossing, and it finally feels like the dream we’ve been sailing toward. Warm air, calm seas, a perfect sunrise, and that deep sense that land is getting closer. Morning coffee, miso soup, and a rare moment of stillness after days of motion. We juggle fuel management, let the engine rest, and soak in the peace of sailing under main alone. As the sun sets, we throw out a fishing line, play with the dogs, and wind down with lentils, fresh avocados, and surprisingly good produce for nearly three weeks at sea. The cockpit turns into a floating movie theater with a projector, popcorn, and a little Christmas spirit creeping in early. We read poems, attempt riddles, laugh at ourselves, and reflect on what it means to spend Christmas mid-Atlantic. And then—finally—the Leeward Islands appear on the chart. Two more days.

Mit einer Nachtfahrt segeln wir von Siracusa auf Sizilien nach Valetta auf Malta, wo wir neben Freunden zum ersten Mal an Mooringbojen festmachen. Mit dem Dinghi geht´s quer durch die Stadt zur Post, wo wir ein ganz besonderes Paket abholen. Valettas historische Altstadt darf natürlich auch nicht fehlen. Taucht ein mit uns in die engen Straßen der Stadt, zwischen Meer, Mauern und Geschichte.

Join us as we explore the narrow streets of the city, nestled between the sea, walls and history.

Epic Navigator Welcome to Epic Navigator In this video, we are sailing in Antiparos, facing 40+ knots of headwind, during an extreme docking maneuver that leaves zero room for error. This is real-life seamanship, not theory. What you’ll see in this video: Our first approach and the mistakes we made How strong headwind can be the most challenging for Cyclades Why standard docking techniques fail in extreme conditions Letting the boat drift with the wind instead of fighting it Using anchor tension to regain control and reposition the boat The final successful approach, explained step by step ⚓ This is the kind of situation every skipper may eventually face — especially during charter sailing or Mediterranean strong wind conditions.
