Is the golden age of cruising over? For decades, the cruising lifestyle meant freedom, cheap living, and beautiful anchorages. But in 2026, that dream is turning into a nightmare for thousands of sailors. From rising crime in "paradise" to aggressive anchoring bans and storms that form overnight, the reality of living on a boat has changed. In this video, we investigate the 5 Massive Factors pushing full-time cruisers to sell their boats and return to land: The Crime Wave: Why dinghy theft and boardings are making anchorages unsafe. The Weather Threat: How unpredictable hurricane seasons are shrinking cruising windows. The War on Anchoring: Why Florida and Caribbean islands are banning cruisers. The Cost Crisis: Why "cheap" liveaboard life is now a myth. The Reality Check: The gap between YouTube cruising and the harsh truth. Is it still worth it? Or is it time to swallow the anchor? ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro: The Dream is Dying 00:30 1. Crime in Paradise (Why Anchorages Aren't Safe) 02:35 2. Storm Seasons Are Longer & Stronger 04:27 3.

The newly-crowned Australian 18ft skiff champion Balmain team of Henry Larkings, Tom Grimes and Lachlan Pryor continued the winning form from last weekend when they produced an awesome performance in a 10-14-knot North East breeze to win the President’s Trophy Australian 18 Footers League Season Pointscore race on Sydney Harbour today. With their big #1 rig working perfectly, the team grabbed a narrow lead at the weather mark on the second lap of the course and powered away from the fleet on the following spinnaker run down the centre of the course to the bottom mark. From that point the team had total control of the race and went on to score a comfortable victory. At the finish, Balmain defeated Club Marine (Emma Rankin, Brandon Buyink and Jed Cruikshank) by one minute, with Yandoo (Tom Needham, Miles Davey and Lewis Brake) a further 14s back in third place. In a closely-bunched group, Vaikobi (Kirk Mitchell) finished fourth ahead of Killer Coffee Co (Cam McDonald). A gallant Lazarus Capital Partners (Tom Cunich) was next with her smaller #2 rig followed by Shaw and Partners Financial Services (Jordan Girdis), also with the smaller rig. Uncertainty in the rigging area about the likely wind strength of the Nor’Easter sent several crews to their smaller #2 rigs before the start. When the breeze failed to strengthen throughout most of the race, it was a move which proved too costly to overcome. The current Giltinan world champion Yandoo team got off to a poor start and tacked away shortly after the start while the Shaw and Partners team led narrowly from a group which included Vaikobi and Balmain. At the first set of weather marks, Lazarus took advantage of sailing to the blue (shortest) buoy and grabbed the lead from Shaw and Partners and Vaikobi, while Sixt (Jacob Marks) also took advantage of the blue buoy to move into fourth place ahead of Balmain. Despite the disadvantage of running downwind with her #2 rig, Lazarus retained her lead at the wing mark off Shark Island and also overcame a slow spinnaker drop at the bottom mark at Clark Island to still lead the fleet by 10s from Balmain, but with the breeze remaining light it was obvious that Balmain was going to over-power the leader on the following beat to the weather mark. Vaikobi was in third place just ahead of Sixt. Shaw and Partners led the next group which included The Oak Double Bay-4 Pines (Hugo Stoner), Club Marine and Yandoo. Lazarus was impressive in the unfavourable conditions and managed to hold off the strong challenge from the bigger rigged Balmain team, but finally succumbed to the pressure as the pair approached the weather marks where Balmain held a 15s advantage. Balmain has been strong downwind in similar conditions this season and she never looked more impressive than on the following run directly to the Clark Island mark where she had extended her lead to 1m25s. From that point the Australian champion team was in total control and held a 1m15s lead at the final weather mark before cruising home a one minute victor Today’s result sheet and current point scores in the series, along with SailMedia images from today’s racing, are attached. Race 1 next Sunday will be the traditional Queen of the Waves race which will be followed by another 3-buoys pointscore race. The League’s usual spectator ferry will follow the races and SailMedia will live stream all the action with expert commentary from the course.

Thomas Coville and his team aboard the foiling Ultim trimaran Sodebo-3 have set a new non-stop record around the world and in doing so has taken the Jules Verne Trophy. The team's new record pace takes over 12 hours off the previous record and yet impressive though it is, the achievement represents a great deal more. In the closing stages severe weather came close to derailing the campaign and put huge amounts of pressure on the team. Since the record was set in 2017 there have been 13 unsuccessful attempts at beating it, Coville accounted for three of them, that's how hard this record is to achieve and why Coville's success is seen as such a major achievement. But still there is more to this Jules Verne season - This is a story of not one but two campaigns. The second trimaran, IDEC Sport had set the previous record and now known as The Famous Project, was attempting its own non-stop lap. If successful they too would enter the record books as the first ever all women crew to complete a non-stop lap pf the planet. But they too were facing a serious dilemma as to how best to handle the weather that was threatening to block their path at best and derail their entire campaign at worst. So, in part 3 of our Jules Verne coverage we look at how the final stages of the two Jules Verne attempts played out. Sodebo 3 - Crew Thomas Coville - skipper Benjamin Schwartz - co skipper Frédéric Denis Pierre Leboucher Léonard Legrand Guillaume Pirouelle Nicolas Troussel New Record time: 40 days, 10 hours, 45 minutes and 50 seconds

There was both celebration and relief for skipper Alexia Barrier and her crew as they crossed the finish line near Ushant after completing their lap of the globe on Monday 26th January in 57 days, 21 hours and 20 minutes. There were signs of the damage everywhere, with the starboard daggerboard strapped heavily, and the port helm position spray screen missing. The team have been through the wars, and the problems with the mainsail hook, which so almost stopped their voyage as they approached the Cape of Good Hope, being the most major in terms of performance. The mainsail eventually gave out in the North Atlantic, leaving them to sail the final 1000 miles with just the head of that sail hoisted on the boom and then their range of headsails. The conditions off Ushant were still horrendous for their arrival, with high seas left over from Storm Ingrid, and the team came in at pace, even with the reduced sail area. The team have proved incredibly resilient, despite all of the technical setbacks they’ve endured, and completing this first all-female non-stop circumnavigation sets the benchmark for challenges to come. The IDEC Sport trimaran they were on was the same on which Francis Joyon set the previous Jules Verne Trophy record, but that was nine years ago, and the legendary yacht is showing its age, and the team’s decision to slow down at the Azores to miss the worst of Storm Ingrid was, without doubt, the only sensible choice to achieve their goal of reaching the finish line. We take a look at the route they took, and also hear from Dee Caffari as to what their circumnavigation means. #sailing #roundtheworld #worldfirst

Stop trying to buy a "circumnavigation boat." Buy an "education" boat. I recently received an email from Simon, an 18-year-old sailor with a tight budget and a big dream. He said something that most beginners miss: "Ugly is fine. Stuck in a boatyard is not." Buying your first sailboat is where most sailors make their most expensive mistakes. They buy the boat that looks good on Instagram, not the boat that teaches them how to be a Captain. In this video, I’m sharing the advice I wish I had when I started. We’ll talk about: * Why your first boat shouldn't be your "forever" boat. * The trap of the "Perfect Boat" vs. the "Right Boat." * How to build "Dangerous Competence" before you ever cross an ocean. This philosophy is the core of my book, Be The Captain. It’s a field manual for sailors who want to move beyond internet checklists and build real offshore confidence.

Яхтенный этикет - это система правил и традиций, которая формировалась столетиями и напрямую связана с безопасностью, комфортом и уважением к окружающим. В этом видео я подробно рассказываю, как правильно вести себя на яхте - гостю, владельцу и члену экипажа. Мы разберём, почему на яхте всегда снимают обувь, зачем существует специальная яхтенная одежда и обувь, почему нельзя создавать волну рядом с другими судами, как вести себя в марине и на якорной стоянке, что допустимо, а что считается серьёзным нарушением морского этикета. Отдельно поговорим о роли капитана на борту, взаимодействии с экипажем, гостях на яхте, морских традициях, а также о негласных правилах, которые знают опытные яхтсмены, но часто игнорируют новички.

What’s the difference between carbon fibre, E-glass, and other composite materials used in modern boat building and why does it matter when choosing a catamaran? In this video, James Turner, CEO of Vision Yachts, breaks down the core materials used in composite boat construction. Whether you’re comparing catamarans, planning a build, or simply trying to understand how modern yachts are engineered, this video gives practical insight from an experienced builder. Topics covered include: • Carbon fibre vs E-glass vs composite laminates • Why different materials are used in different areas of a catamaran • How material choices affect performance, comfort, and cost • What matters most for cruising vs performance catamarans Vision Yachts focuses on using the right material for the right purpose, creating catamarans that are strong, efficient, and built for comfortable, real-world sailing.

If you woke up tomorrow and won a sailboat lottery, but the prize wasn’t cash… it was a choice between two very different 47-foot sailboats, what would you do? In this video, we dig into a question that accidentally went viral on Facebook: Island Packet 439 or Beneteau Oceanis 47? Same size. Very different philosophies. One is heavy, conservative, and beloved by serious cruising sailors. The other is modern, fast, comfortable, and sold by one of the biggest production builders on the planet. And here’s where it gets interesting: Most people say they’d take the Island Packet… But Beneteau will almost certainly sell far more boats like the Oceanis 47. So which boat actually makes sense? Are sailors choosing with their hearts… or ignoring how boats are really bought and used in the real world? In this video we break down: Why the Island Packet inspires such fierce loyalty Why Beneteau dominates real-world sales Comfort vs performance vs safety Offshore dreams vs actual cruising life And why “the best boat” depends entirely on how you really sail ⚠️ Fair warning: feelings may be hurt. Boat tribes may be offended. 👇 COMMENT SECTION CHALLENGE 👇 Which boat would you choose and why? Where do you sail? What’s your cruising plan? Weekend sailor, liveaboard, Bahamas winters, or ocean-crossing dreams? Tell us your answer and your reasoning. Let’s see if YouTube votes the same way Facebook did.

Une carte SHOM 9999 que vous trouverez par exemple ici chez Amazon : https://amzn.to/33DfuCj. Vous pouvez bien sûr aussi vous rendre dans un magasin spécialisé dans le nautisme (il vaut mieux téléphoner pour vérifier s’ils en ont en stock). Je vous conseille de fixer votre carte avec des punaises sur une planche de contreplaqué de 9 mm d’épaisseur de 90 cm x 120 cm. En effet, votre centre d’examen vous demandera de venir avec une carte bien propre, sans déchirure, annotation ou rature, qu’ils conserveront dans leurs archives. Le fait d’utiliser cette planche vous évite de plier et déplier un grand nombre de fois votre carte (qui a la fâcheuse tendance à se déchirer au niveau des plis). Une règle ou un rapporteur de navigation (Règle Cras) comme celle-ci : https://amzn.to/3rA8Vga ou celle-là : https://amzn.to/36FHjvv Notez que la plupart des centres d’examen (pas tous) n’acceptent pas les règles munies d’une partie mobile comme le “rapporteur breton” (que je déconseille également, elles font perdre beaucoup de temps) Un compas pointe sèche comme celui-ci : https://amzn.to/36FHjvv et un compas d'écolier comme celui-là : https://amzn.to/3nqkYIm Une calculatrice non programmable comme celle-ci : https://amzn.to/36JAsBc Vous pouvez aussi jeter un œil à ce pack : https://amzn.to/3d4q9ZM ▬▬▬ PLUS D'INFOS AU SUJET DE MA FORMATION PERMIS HAUTURIER ▬▬▬ Elle permet de se préparer efficacement à passer l'examen en candidat libre, à son rythme (comptez 25 à 30 heures à répartir idéalement en 4 à 6 semaines), depuis chez soi.
