Instagram https://www.instagram.com/adventuresofanoldseadog/ Thanks so much for your support, Boat: White Shadow is a Van De Stadt ‘Seal’ 36 (11 metres). She is hand made in steel, 2004, with a round bilge (hull) and a modified coach roof. This makes her a ‘one off’ and in my opinion the most beautiful Van De Stadt 36 ever built. The camera gear: Main ‘action’ cameras are an Insta Ace pro 2 and a DJI Action 4 while the ‘big camera is a Canon R50. All use Dji mini wireless mics or a Rode External mic with a sponge and dead kitten attached. Back up is a Canon 200d. Some boat shots are done with a Dji gimbal camera. I also have two drones, a Magic mini2 and Mavic pro Editing: Final cut pro on a Macbook. Most of the material for each video is filmed over a period of several weeks or so and the editing of each episode is normally done over several days. This process can take longer if original music is used or permissions are needed for copyrighted materials etc. There are also times when filming, editing and uploading is not possible due to being at sea or in locations with no internet access. Content: I have found that filming and releasing material over a period of time is better than doing ‘vlog’ style videos and trying to make episodes out of whats happened in a week, regardless if it’s good content or not. By filming over a period of time I can be more selective in what goes into each video. My aim is to avoid ‘bland and mundane’ and have at least one or two exciting and interesting events in every video. Every video has to be entertaining. Comments and being at sea:I love reading your comments. Most weeks Im able to read everyone. I cant reply to everybody but I do read and enjoy them. Keep them coming! There are times that It might seem I'm not on the internet for certain periods, this is normally when Im at sea on passage. While Im out on the Ocean I have limited communications with the outside World.

Season Seven Show No. 165 Inside Great Lakes Sailing - Bill Lee SC Sailboats - Ohana Ambassadors Cup
INSIDE GREAT LAKES SAILING SEASON SEVEN SHOW NO. 165 - The Ambassador Cup is coming for Santa Cruz 70s August 28-30 on the Detroit River in downtown and we thought it might be a good idea to see exactly what the hype is all about. We traveled with Ohana and skipper Tor Hough for the annual Edison Yacht Club Regatta last week and saw first-hand the magnificence of the Bill Lee-designed sled. The journey was spectacular, but no more than actually chatting with the man himself, Mr. Santa Cruz, Bill Lee, the 84-year-old boat designer genius. It was a treat to chat with him, but the most surprising part of the show might be with Ohana's navigator, who is not a veteran of the many lake battles nor a grizzled swaby with miles of course left behind her, no, we met a high school senior, Ana Kozak, who is the 17-year-old navigator of a major Corinthian sailing program and you won't believe how good she is as a member of the crew, but more importantly, how much respect she commands because of her talents. Stay tuned and thanks for joining us.

Today at the Royal Cape Yacht Club in Cape Town, we launched the 100th Balance catamaran. Her name is Takoda. She is a Balance 502, the fourth of her model to launch, and she marks 100 boats in the water since Balance began building in South Africa with the very first Balance 526. This video is the short story of how we got here. From the 526 that found the balance between blue water performance and comfortable life aboard, through the 482 and the 442, up to the 580 and our flagship 750, and into the all new 502 that carries 10 years of owner feedback in her design. Two more models are close behind. The Balance 464 is nearing the end of her production journey in Cape Town, and the first Balance 540 is well underway in St Francis Bay, with her launch set for early 2027. 100 boats is just a number. Behind it is a network of livelihoods and an ever growing community of owners. And through our new partnership with the World Cruising Club, our fleet goes further together from here. To every owner, every crew member and every person who has had a hand in a Balance: thank you. Stay in Balance.

Two Princess F55s, side by side, both loaded with fuel, people and toys... there was only one sensible thing to do: race them! 🛥️💨 This time we’ve managed to get two F55s together for a proper head-to-head run at sea, with a separate camera boat along to capture the action. Both boats are running twin 900hp engines and tipping the scales at around 30 tonnes each, so this isn’t exactly your average drag race. After carefully getting the two boats apart — and avoiding what could have been a rather expensive coming-together — it’s time for the countdown and the first attempt. Things don’t go entirely to plan… so naturally, we line them up and have another go! 😄 Then it’s full throttle as the two Princess F55s head out side by side. There’s plenty of speed, noise and good-natured competition, before things calm down again. A slightly different Princess F55 video this week, but a very entertaining day on the water! ⚓ One of the F55 is for sale: https://www.boats.co.uk/boats-for-sale/princess-f-55-3384 Timestamps 00:00 Two Princess F55s together 00:18 The drag race plan 🛥️ 00:37 Twin 900hp engines & fully loaded boats 00:56 Rafting the two F55s together 01:16 Avoiding a £3 million crash! 01:23 First race countdown 02:10 Take two – lining up again 02:17 Full-throttle Princess F55 drag race 💨 🔔 Like & Subscribe for more exclusive factory tours and boat reviews!

What makes a Dazcat so strong? In this short video, we look inside the DSA’s accessible Dazcat 1500 to explore the design and construction of its mast compression post and structural bulkheads — and reveal how strength and stiffness are built into every Dazcat from the very beginning.
Keagan Steyn joins Cat Chat Live for his first appearance on the show, and Wiley puts him through the paces: six years running charter catamarans in the Caribbean (Lucia 40, Leopard 50, Lagoon 620), a 200-ton Yachtmaster license earned the hard way in Cape Town, a Dive Master ticket picked up during COVID downtime, and an engagement to Olivia — the chef he talked into joining him on the boat mid-pandemic. From there, Wiley and Keegan dig into what actually makes a catamaran charter-worthy, take a full deep dive on the Leopard 50 (production history, known maintenance quirks, and what to look for on survey), tackle the recurring question of self-managing a charter boat versus hiring a yacht management company, and close out with their brokerage picks of the week. In This Episode Meet Keegan Steyn (00:00 – 10:17) Born in South Africa, raised in Virginia after his family relocated in 2001, college in Boulder, Colorado, and a family trip to the BVI that changed everything. Keegan's dad got his captain's license first; Keegan finished college while chipping away at his own licensing over summer breaks in South Africa, then moved to the Caribbean full-time. He ran a Lucia 40 (year one), a Leopard 50 (three years), and a Lagoon 620 named Huntress (two years) before joining Catamaran Central as a broker roughly two years ago. He holds a 200-ton Yachtmaster (earned in Cape Town) and a Dive Master certification (earned during the COVID charter shutdown). He also shares how his fiancée Olivia joined him on the boat in 2020 — she talked her way aboard as his chef, learned to cook professionally at Ashburton in the UK, and the two are getting married in Anegada in about two months. Between the Hulls: What Makes a Good Charter Catamaran (10:18 – 18:59) Cabin count and en-suite layout ("heads and beds") as the biggest driver of bookings — three to five guest cabins, all en suite, is the sweet spot. The conversation compares owner-operator purchases versus boats built for hired crew, why bigger boats (Lagoon 65s and up) demand more technical comfort from an owner-operator, and why crew count (two vs. three) directly affects the guest experience — especially once water sports, diving, and multiple cabins are added to the mix. Boat of the Week: The Leopard 50 (18:59 – 30:12) Production ran 2018 to roughly 2024/2025 (around 300 hulls built, replaced by the Lagoon 52), including a rare four-unit "performance" version without the flybridge lounge. Topics covered: solar capacity even with the lounge in place (up to ~3,800 watts on some boats), the 2023/24 interior veneer refresh, the shift from four-cabin to five-cabin availability late in the run, and survey/maintenance watch-items — steering cable tensioning after big swells, Empirbus digital switching quirks, and a pattern of salon window cracking on earlier hull years. Overall verdict: a simple, reliable, easy-to-maintain boat that holds up well for both charter operators and private owners. FAQ: Yacht Management Company vs. Self-Managing (30:13 – 40:59) A breakdown of the real trade-offs: third-party financial oversight and accountability, protection against a crew's lack of technical knowledge (e.g., replacing a generator that only needed a rewind), the risk of losing an entire season if self-managing crew walks off mid-charter, and how a management company's oversight can actually save an owner money versus the perceived savings of self-management. Brokerage Picks of the Week (41:00 – end) As of recording, 18 Leopard 50s are on the market, ranging from $619K (ex-Moorings) to $1.2M+. Wiley's pick: a 2023 model in Fort Lauderdale at $1.125M with a full Victron 48V electrical system, Arco Zeus alternators, and Thermodynamica air conditioning. Keegan's pick: "Southern Charm," a 2020 owner-operated Leopard 50 with nearly 2,000 watts of solar, a 1,800Ah lithium bank, washer/dryer, extra fridge/freezer capacity, and a Code Zero/bowsprit setup. Key Takeaways Charter-ready catamarans are won or lost on cabin layout and en-suite count, not just size. Boats built for hired, professional crew (three-plus crew on larger cats) tend to deliver a noticeably higher guest experience than two-person operations once diving and water sports are added. The Leopard 50 remains one of the more dependable, easy-to-maintain 50-foot cats on the market, with a small handful of known watch-items (steering cable tension, Empirbus switching, early salon windows). And while self-managing a charter boat can look cheaper on paper, the financial oversight and risk protection of a professional yacht management company often pays for itself.

Am Ankerplatz vor Porto Santo entspannen wir und geniessen das Bordleben. Das Wetter läßt zu wünschen übrig und die 30 Meilen nach Madeira haben es mal wieder in sich. Viel Spass mit Episode 79. Eure Mola Mola's
In October of 1998, a 282-foot four-masted schooner called the Phantom sailed into the western Caribbean with 31 crew members aboard and a hurricane building over the horizon. She was a 71-year-old, riveted steel ship with an incredibly gifted 32-year-old captain, Guyan March. When Hurricane Mitch—one of the most powerful storms ever recorded—stalled and turned directly into the ship's path, the Phantom was boxed in against the Belize Barrier Reef with nowhere to run. This video is a forensic breakdown of the tragedy: why the official forecast failed a good captain, the fatal physics of a massive ship pushed past its angle of vanishing stability, and the quiet corporate decisions that put the crew in that specific corner of the ocean in the first place. It is a stark reminder that a strong boat is not a safe boat when the calendar and the chart are disrespected. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱ CHAPTERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 — The Ultimate Threat at Sea 2:48 — The History of the Phantom 4:09 — The Rig & The Riveted Hull 7:44 — The Quiet Crime: Year-Round Charters 10:00 — The Monster Awakens: Hurricane Mitch 12:51 — Trapped by the Reef 15:47 — Seeking the Navigable Semicircle 21:47 — The Final, Desperate Run East 26:49 — The Theories: What Actually Sank Her? 33:02 — The Vanishing Angle & The Fatal Knockdown 38:16 — The Legal Aftermath & The Insurance "Box" 44:14 — Final Lessons & The 31 Souls of New Amsterdam ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☕ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Help us keep uncovering and telling these stories: ⚔️ Join the Inner Circle on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/bethecaptain 🍺 Buy the crew a beer / one-time tip: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/svzingaro ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚓ RECOMMENDED GEAR & PARTNERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Defender Marine — Outfitting boaters since 1938 with trusted marine gear, expert advice, and refit supplies: 👉 Shop Defender Marine: https://defender.com/en_us/ • PredictWind — The world leader in offshore marine weather forecasting, routing, and departure planning: 👉 Check out PredictWind: https://www.predictwind.com/ 🎁 Exclusive Reader Perks: When you grab a copy of Be The Captain, unlock 10% off Defender Marine + 20% off PredictWind forecasts: 📖 English ("Be The Captain"): https://bethecaptain.com/ 🇪🇸 Español ("Sé el Capitán"): https://a.co/d/08yiAfse ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📖 FURTHER READING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ * The Ship and the Storm by Jim Carrier (The definitive, incredibly detailed investigative book on the loss of the Windjammer Fantome/Phantom and Hurricane Mitch). * Be The Captain by James Allan Evenson (My award-winning maritime field manual on offshore seamanship, leadership, and crisis management). * National Hurricane Center (NHC) Archive: 1998 Tropical Cyclone Report on Hurricane Mitch. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎬 ABOUT THE CHANNEL ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ True stories from the sea — the rescues, the wrecks, and the choices that decide who comes home.

*Hey! We’re Ruth and Andrew* 👋🏼 After years of dreaming, we left our family, friends and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, behind as we set off to chase our shared dream of sailing the world. Last year, we bought our Excess 11 catamaran, Rúna, which we now call home as we live, work, sail and adventure across the Mediterranean. Our 18 month reset journey so far: Part one: https://youtu.be/5BUcdVGP05A Part two: https://youtu.be/b7DlHoD49FA Part three: https://youtu.be/YYL38rDAy4U After sailing 260 nautical miles from Italy to Tunisia and back to reset our boat’s EU Temporary Admission clock, we’re finally back in Europe… but getting back into the EU isn’t as straightforward as we hoped! What should have been a quick bit of paperwork turns into a frustrating game of being sent back and forth between the police, coast guard and port authorities. At times, it felt like even the Italian officials didn’t fully understand their own process! After days of trying to get the paperwork sorted, we then head to the beautiful island of Favignana for some much-needed time at anchor. But our problems aren’t over yet… An issue with one of our engines forces us into a marina, where we have to dock our catamaran using just one engine, something we’ve never done before! Join us as we overcome boat problems. ____________________________________________________________ *Wanna collab with us?* 🖥️ Collab enquiries: therunalife@gmail.com *Find daily content on our socials:* 📸 Instagram: http://instagram.com/lifestylegibbon 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/therunalife 🎥 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@therunalife _________________________________________________________ **In this episode:** ⛵ 00:00 - 00:38 - Catch up & Intro 00:38 - 02:40 - Trying To Check Into The EU 02:40 - 06:30 - STILL Trying To Check Into The EU 06:30 - 09:37 - Sailing And Exploring Favignana 09:37 - 12:17 - Dealing With Boat Admin 12:17 - 14:58 - Our Yanmar Engine Breaks 14:58 - 19:05 - Docking With One Engine 19:05 - 20:09 - Conclusion Subscribe to follow our journey aboard our Excess 11 catamaran, Rúna, as we sail the Mediterranean and navigate the challenges of living aboard full-time. #Sailing #SailingLife #Catamaran #MediterraneanSailing #Tunisia #Sicily #VAT #TemporaryAdmission #Liveaboard

What if you could wake up with an incredible waterfront view in Annapolis, Maryland for just $40 a night instead of paying $800 for a hotel room? ⛵🌅 Join us as we sail to Annapolis, Maryland, cruise the beautiful Chesapeake Bay, encounter dolphins, explore this historic waterfront town, and spend the evening surrounded by some of the most beautiful views Annapolis has to offer. And then comes the big question… Would you pay $800 for a waterfront hotel room — or $40 for a mooring ball with your own floating front-row seat to the Chesapeake Bay? We chose the boat. 😎 From the moment we sail toward Annapolis to the beautiful harbor, waterfront views, dolphins swimming alongside us, and an unforgettable sunset, this is what cruising the Chesapeake Bay is all about. ⚓ IN THIS VIDEO: • Sailing to Annapolis, Maryland • Cruising the Chesapeake Bay • Dolphins along the way 🐬 • Beautiful Annapolis harbor views • Exploring downtown Annapolis • Waterfront sights and historic streets • Sunset over the Chesapeake • Spending the night on a mooring ball • $40 mooring vs. $800 hotel room • Why sailing can give you a million-dollar view without the million-dollar price tag Annapolis is known as America's Sailing Capital, and arriving by boat gives you a completely different perspective of the city. One of the best parts? You can moor right on the water near downtown and experience Annapolis from the Chesapeake instead of looking at the water from a hotel window. 🌅 Sometimes the best hotel room isn't a hotel room at all. It's your sailboat. It's the sound of the water. It's dolphins swimming past your bow. And it's watching the sunset from your own private floating balcony.

Welcome back to another episode of WE|Sail. EPISODE 353 After three days sailing back from Fulaga, we finally arrived at the marina in Nadi, Fiji. But getting back to the mainland wasn't just about the boat, it was part of a plan we've been hinting at for a couple of episodes now. Before we could take off, there were a few boat jobs to knock out first, the usual list that comes with leaving her behind for a while. Once that was done, we packed our bags and headed to the airport. We flew halfway around the world, from Fiji to France, to surprise my dad and sister and the rest of my French family, who we haven't seen in years. It's a wild contrast, going from turquoise water and remote islands to vineyards, wine country, and villages that haven't changed in centuries. A completely different kind of beautiful. Cheese, wine, family we've missed more than we realized, and somehow, one very unexpected adventure in the mountains. This trip had it all.

So each step of the way is soooo freaking exciting. We're learning so much, and it's been such a fun process of figuring it all out.

Is this the boat that can help you turn that dream into a reality? Some points I like about the Beneteau Antares 12 Fly is that this design will serve you perfectly well in the dayboat/weekender mission. She's got plenty of different useable spaces to accomodate groups and depending on how you feel you can head forward for some sun or retire back aft for a drink in the shade and a chit chat with your mates. But... load this boat up with your gear and in a short amount of time you can easily change the mission profile from weekend fun departing from your home dock, to doing the entire Great Loop and having the adventure of a lifetime. Then at the end of all that fun you're still sitting on a globally known brand name that will make it easier for you to sell the asset when you've decided to move onto the next adventure. It's big enough to accomodate everyone yet small enough to manage without too much stress and well known enough to move no matter what the brokerage market is doing at the time. In this video, we'll explore how the Beneteau Antares 12 Fly performs in the environment it was designed for, looking at its layout, onboard features, real-world usability, and the strengths and compromises every buyer should understand before making a decision. As always, the goal isn't to tell you what to buy. It's to help you understand whether this boat fits your boating lifestyle and the adventures you want to have. Enjoy.
