#ParallelHorizons: you’ve imagined it, now you can live it. Episode 1 begins in Saint Thomas, where Nikoline and Adam welcome us aboard their FP51 for the first day of their week in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Provisioning by dinghy, settling in, organizing life on board, then casting off with no fixed destination. A short sail, a sunset arrival, and the true start of their life at sea.
Sto cercando di capire se questa barca a vela in Sardegna è davvero un affare… oppure una trappola nascosta. In questo short ti porto con me mentre analizzo ogni dettaglio: carena, condizioni strutturali, lavori da fare e possibili costi reali. Comprare una barca usata può sembrare semplice, ma tra manutenzione, riparazioni e sorprese sotto la linea di galleggiamento, la differenza tra affare e errore è sottile. Nel video completo sul canale “Giorgio e il Mare” trovi l’analisi completa della barca visionata in Sardegna, con considerazioni tecniche, valutazioni economiche e riflessioni sincere sull’acquisto di una barca a vela anni ’70. Se stai pensando di comprare una barca usata, questo contenuto può evitarti errori costosi. Guarda il video completo sul canale. ⸻ Ora ti do anche gli hashtag mirati (non troppi, ma intelligenti): #BarcaAVela #BarcaUsata #Sardegna
The blister became a problem because I couldn't bend my finger anymore and it kept bumping stuff.
A returning pair of brothers bring their dad and some unresolved history, a carbon weapon shows up with a crew that knows just how fast is too fast, and a team named after a classic rock song leaves the motor behind and leans all the way into suffering.
This week on Sailing Deinde, cruising life looks a little less like turquoise water… and a little more like boat work. A light goes out. A small part causes a bigger delay. Plans shift. While in the Rio Dulce, we spend our days fixing, scrubbing, rowing… and making the most of marina life before moving back out to anchor.
► With nearly 20 knots of easterly breeze and a short, choppy sea, conditions were perfect to put Aquila’s very first sailing catamaran through its paces. At the helm, our journalist Brieuc Maisonneuve comfortably pushed the boat beyond 8 knots. ► The 50 Sail is unmistakably an Aquila. The brand’s signature bar, seamlessly linking the aft cockpit to the saloon, stands out as a defining feature. Beyond its soft, rounded lines and elongated hull windows, the model also borrows an innovative concept from Aquila’s powercat range: direct access to the flybridge from the foredeck. Elegantly integrated steps, complemented by a refined handrail, create a fluid and natural connection between these two living areas. ► Several elements reveal the brand’s powerboat heritage: a dedicated tender crane system, an impressively spacious owner’s suite, generously appointed heads, and private access to each cabin. The interior styling enhances the sense of luxury, with carefully selected materials such as sophisticated curtains, leather detailing, and rug in the saloon. Notably, traditional side walkways have been replaced by predominantly open living spaces, reinforcing the boat’s contemporary feel. ► Yet the true revelation lies in the Aquila 50 Sail’s performance under sail. The builder has equipped the boat with a genuine interior chart table - standard across the sailing range - and an outstanding flybridge helm station. The centrally positioned wheel, flanked by winches with control lines led to either side, offers excellent ergonomics and exceptional visibility, ensuring confident and enjoyable sailing. ► Technical specifications Builder: Aquila Boats Length: 49’1” (14.97 m) Beam: 25’9” (7.86 m) Draft: 3’4” (1.7 m) Air draft: 82’6” (25.15 m) Light displacement: 50,600 lbs (24 t) Mainsail: 968/1,037 sq ft (90/96.4 m²) Motors: 2 x 50 kW or 2 x 50/60/75 HP Fuel: 222 US gal (865 l) Water: 232 US gal (880 l) CE Certification: A12/B12/C20/D30 Base price: US$ 1,391,000 ex-tax Boat Show special price: US$ 1,900,000 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!

► This week, we’re taking you to the British Virgin Islands for seven days of family sailing aboard a Moorings 5000 (Leopard 50). ► On the itinerary: Tortola, Cooper Island, Saba Rock, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, and Anegada… Exploring these islands and anchorages means short sails of one to three hours per day, except for a beautiful longer crossing to Anegada, a flat coral island set slightly apart from the rest of the archipelago. As for the crew, while Charlotte is already an experienced young sailor, it’s a first for Mahé and Marceau! Also on board: Aude, Joffrey, Laurie, Quentin, Pierre-Yves… and me, Maria. A true nine-person adventure, filled with time under sail, laughter at anchor, and the logistics of life as a floating tribe. ► We’ll also be sharing our sailing experience aboard the Moorings 5000: seaworthiness, cabin comfort, the layout of the convivial galley, how the outdoor spaces work for children… We’ll tell you whether this catamaran is truly well designed for family cruising. ► 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!

When navigating in coastal and restricted waters, correctly identifying navigational aids is critical for safe position fixing. In this video, we explain the key differences between beacons and buoys, and show which aids can be used as reliable references for primary position fixing and parallel indexing. #NavigationalAid #passageplanning #voyageplanning #seamanship #maritime #seafarer #seaman #bsmt #maritimestudents #ecdis https://youtu.be/veHDoss_sCU https://youtu.be/QwrhztFCpbU https://youtu.be/_0aKjwnxML8
In this video I share my personal experience comparing boat ownership in Spain and the United Kingdom — from registration, licences and insurance, to marinas, costs, salvage services and anchoring. This is not a technical or legal breakdown, but a practical comparison based on what I’ve personally experienced over the years. There are clear philosophical differences between both countries when it comes to regulation, responsibility and freedom — and that’s what I explore here. That said, this is only my opinion. I don’t have anywhere near the knowledge required to cover every aspect of this topic in depth. For example, I don’t know the anchorages in the south of England, which I understand are also excellent. The Scottish anchorages I’m familiar with are only being compared to the Mediterranean areas I know personally. I’m also aware that there are regions in Spain — such as Galicia — where anchoring conditions are much more similar to what we have here in the UK. So please take this video as a personal perspective, not a definitive guide. I would genuinely love to hear your thoughts in the comments. If you have experience boating in Spain, England, Scotland, Wales or elsewhere, please share it. Let’s use the comments to learn from each other and build a broader, more complete picture.

What’s all the fuss about yachts being “under 24 metres”… and why do shipyards work so hard to squeeze as much yacht as possible into that number? This video was inspired by a viewer comment from Patrick Abas, who pointed out something many people only discover after they start researching ownership: the jump in costs, complexity, and regulation once you cross the 24m threshold can be dramatic. Here’s the key point: it’s not based on the yacht’s advertised length, and it’s not simply LOA (Length Overall). The “under 24 metres” conversation usually comes down to Load Line Length (often written as LLL) — a technical measurement defined by the International Convention of Load Lines. In plain English, it’s much closer to the length of the hull that’s actually working in the water, rather than swim platforms, bow overhangs, or styling tricks.

In this video I explain: LOA vs Load Line Length (and why they’re not the same thing) Why different class societies can interpret the measurement differently How builders deliberately design around the 24m mark What changes for owners once you go above 24m (surveys, compliance, crew, admin) Why “under 24m” often means simpler ownership, year after year And I use real examples from our recent videos, including: Sunseeker 90 Ocean Ferretti 940 Azimut Chillin Sanlorenzo 96A (ICE OF LONDON) These aren’t loopholes — they’re deliberate design choices built around a regulatory threshold that can make yacht ownership feel either manageable… or like you’ve just stepped into a much heavier world. If you enjoy these easy-to-understand explainers and want more topics like this, subscribe and drop your questions in the comments — I’ll gladly turn the best ones into future videos.
Why are there so many lightly used "dream boats" for sale? You see the listings every day: “Plans changed.” “Lightly used.” “Ready to cruise.” It’s easy to wonder what really happened behind the scenes. The truth is, the jump from the dream of sailing to the daily reality of boat ownership catches a lot of people off guard. In this video, we dive into the unvarnished truth about why so many people buy their dream boat, only to put it back on the market a year or two later. We break down the 5 biggest reasons boats get sold prematurely, from hidden financial drains to the psychological toll of maintenance. We cover: ⚓ The Dream vs. Reality: Why the daily routine of boat life exhausts some and comforts others. 💸 The True Cost: How slip fees, insurance, and surprise yard bills quietly drain the cruising kitty. 🔧 Maintenance Burnout: Why you might end up spending more time in the engine room than at the helm. 🗣️ Relationship Strain: How living in a small, moving space magnifies family dynamics. ⛵ The Wrong Boat: Why buying a heavy offshore cruiser for weekend coastal hops is a recipe for regret. If you are dreaming of buying a boat or moving aboard, watch this first so you can prepare, align your expectations, and ensure your new boat doesn't end up right back on the brokerage page. ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro: The "Lightly Used" Mystery 01:11 1.

7 days with no land in sight. An 850-mile offshore sailing passage across the Atlantic from Gran Canaria to Cape Verde. We set sail from Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, to Mindelo, Cape Verde, with two additional crew members on board. For seven days there is no land in sight - just the open Atlantic Ocean, night watches, sailing and the rhythm of life aboard Zoé during a bluewater passage. This route from the Canary Islands to Cape Verde is a classic Atlantic offshore leg, yet it still brings uncertainty. Near the coast of Mauritania, an unidentified vessel followed us for hours, raising concerns about potential piracy at sea. Along the way, dolphins escort the boat multiple times, we catch a dorado, and after a full week of long-distance sailing, we finally sail into Mindelo at sunset in strong winds. 🌊 If you enjoy our videos and would like to support us, please consider joining our Patreon crew for real-time updates and exclusive contents, or support us on Ko-fi with a one-time donation.

35+ Knots Downwind to the Exumas. Wild sail from Long Island - big swell & a challenging Exumas Cut.
I woke up at 4:00 AM in Calabash Bay, Long Island, Bahamas — shaken awake by a strong ocean swell rolling in from the open sea. Overnight, the wind had shifted… and everything pointed to a serious weather increase during the day. By first light, several sailboats were preparing to leave the bay. Some chose the safety of a more protected anchorage along Long Island. A few of us committed to the crossing — bound for the Exumas. The day started with a steady 20 knots of wind, quickly building to 25–30 knots, and the sea state followed. Bigger waves, more motion, more energy — sailing was about to get interesting. With a True Wind Angle around 130°, at least it was a following sea — a proper downwind run. And Mirage absolutely flew. We held no less than 8 knots, with long stretches at 9 knots, and occasionally pushed past 10 knots SOG. A fast, powerful ride. Midway through the passage, the wind cranked up even more. Gusts exceeded 35 knots, forcing multiple reefs. This was one of the most intense and exciting parts of the sail. As the Exumas came into view, I realized the final challenge was still ahead. The island cuts were rough, with a big swell running straight through them. Entering the cut under sail, in 35+ knots of wind, waves exploding on nearby reefs — absolutely priceless sailing moments. About a mile before the anchorage, I rolled the sails, pushed through heavy rain and limited visibility, and finally dropped anchor safely near Sand Dollar Beach, Exumas. This place means something special to me. I was here five years ago, aboard my previous boat — a Beneteau 41.1 “Melody.” Different boat. Same sailor. Same sea. Some dots just connect themselves :) ⚓🌊
In this episode of Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of United States, host Bela Musits sits down with Tom Greaves, a longtime sailor and member of the Blue Water Sailing Club. Whether you are planning a coastal cruise or dreaming of offshore adventures, this conversation offers essential insights into navigating the beautiful but challenging waters of Maine and beyond. Sailing the Coast of Maine Tom shares his sailing evolution, from his first time on a Laser clone in Ontario to cruising the Maine coast on his 1984 Bristol 35.5. Sailing out of Casco Bay and Peaks Island, Tom discusses the realities of navigating this region, including dodging lobster pots and managing the notorious Maine fog. He emphasizes the importance of using both Radar and AIS when dealing with commercial traffic and lobster boats. Tom also reveals his favorite cruising destinations, including Penobscot Bay, Eggemoggin Reach, and the breathtaking Merchant Row near Stonington. For those planning a trip, Tom recommends visiting in August and utilizing the "Cruising Guide to the Maine Coast" by Curtis Rindlaub. The Marion to Bermuda Race Beyond coastal cruising, Tom details his experience preparing for and completing the 2023 Marion to Bermuda Race. He shares how the race served as a confidence builder and a catalyst for getting his boat offshore-ready, a process managed meticulously by his wife through a detailed preparation spreadsheet. The Blue Water Sailing Club & Future Generations Tom provides an inside look at the Blue Water Sailing Club, a "virtual" club founded in 1959 that focuses on cruising, camaraderie, and mentoring sailors for offshore events. The episode concludes with a thoughtful discussion on the importance of passing the torch to the next generation of sailors and creating opportunities for youth to experience offshore sailing. Key Topics in This Episode: Maine Cruising: Best destinations including Penobscot Bay and Isle au Haut. Navigation Safety: Tips for handling lobster pots and heavy fog. Offshore Preparation: Lessons learned from the Marion to Bermuda Race. Sailing Community: The benefits of joining the Blue Water Sailing Club.

I think there were more shark habitants than people in the Ragged Islands (resident population of 70). Clear waters, abundant sea life, remote anchorages, and an amazing sailing community in Hog Cay.
Jason Carroll’s MOD70 Argo (USA) has taken Multihull Line Honours in the 2026 RORC Caribbean 600, completing the 600-mile course in an elapsed time of 01 Day 12 Hrs 01 Mins and 46 Secs after a ferocious, race-long battle with Jon Desmond’s MOD70 Final Final – Zoulou, just over three minutes behind. The two MOD70 trimarans were separated by just one mile at the finish off Fort Charlotte, Antigua - an extraordinary margin after nearly 600 miles of racing flat-out racing around 11 Caribbean islands. What unfolded was not simply a contest of speed, often exceeding 30 knots, but a shifting tactical duel from island to island which was decided by a smart move by Argo in the closing miles. #Caribbean600 #RORCracing
Yes, we live on a sailboat. Yes, we took a cruise on a boat to explore Doubtful Sound in New Zealand. This area was used to film Lord of the Rings. It was beautiful and reminded us of Princess Louis Inlet in Canada. We didn’t see as much wildlife as we had hoped to see but the water was calm and the weather was perfect.

Segeln als Skipper: Wie du von der Bootsführung zur Führungsperson wirst – mit klarer Kommunikati...
In dieser Folge startet alles mit einer Hörerfrage: Herbert will wissen, wie man eigentlich „zum Skippen“ wird. Und genau da setzen Clemens und Claus an: Segeln können ist eine super Basis, aber als Skipper führst du ein sozio-technisches System. Und das kippt selten wegen Technik, sondern wegen Menschen. Ein zentrales Thema ist die Lücke zwischen echter Kompetenz und wahrgenommener Kompetenz. Ruhe, Stimme, Körpersprache, Klarheit, Blickkontakt – all das erzeugt Vertrauen, noch bevor das erste Manöver gefahren ist. Aber: Eine saubere Kompetenzfassade fliegt spätestens dann auf, wenn beim ersten Problem Stress, Geschrei oder Planlosigkeit übernimmt. Die Hosts sprechen darüber, wie Führung praktisch beginnt: in der ersten Minute an Bord. Du schaffst eine Gesprächsatmosphäre, in der Menschen Rückfragen stellen, ohne Angst, „unwissend“ zu wirken. Dazu gehört Erwartungsmanagement: Was passiert heute, was passiert diese Woche, was ist der Rahmen – und wo dürfen Crew-Entscheide stattfinden. Struktur gibt Sicherheit, Flexibilität bleibt trotzdem Pflicht, weil Wetter, Wind und Strömung den Plan jederzeit verschieben können. Dann wird’s konkret: Crew-Resource-Management bedeutet, Ressourcen wirklich zu nutzen. Nicht alle gleich behandeln, sondern passend einsetzen. Wer Erfahrung hat, kann Wetter und Navigation mitdenken. Wer einen medizinischen Hintergrund hat, kann bei Prävention und Notfallthemen unterstützen. Und manchmal sind es sogar „Kleinigkeiten“, die den Turn tragen – wenn jemand etwa gerne kocht und dadurch Verantwortung übernimmt. Führung heißt hier auch: delegieren können und gleichzeitig die Letztverantwortung bei sicherheitsrelevanten Entscheidungen klar behalten. Ein spannender Punkt zum Schluss: Du wirst ständig beobachtet. Nicht nur beim Ablegen, sondern bei den kleinen Handgriffen, bei Ordnung, beim Umgang mit Stress, beim Vorleben von Sicherheit. Und genau daran entscheidet sich oft, ob ein Turn am Ende nach Team aussieht – oder nach „bloß durchgehalten“. Passend dazu erzählt Clemens von einem Ocean-Life-Törn in Spitzbergen: Die Ankerwinsch war defekt, der Anker musste über Tage mit einer Team-Lösung hochgeholt werden. Aus harter Arbeit wurde ein gemeinsamer Prozess – weil Kommunikation, Rollen und Sicherheitsbewusstsein gestimmt haben. Keypoints • Skippern scheitert selten an Nautik, oft an Führung und Kommunikation. • Wahrgenommene Kompetenz entsteht durch Ruhe, Klarheit, Stimme und Körpersprache – echte Kompetenz muss dahinterstehen. • Erwartungsmanagement und Struktur schaffen Sicherheit, ohne Flexibilität zu verlieren. • Crew-Resource-Management: Menschen passend einsetzen, nicht „alle gleich behandeln“. • Du wirst immer beobachtet – Führung zeigt sich in den kleinen Dingen und im Umgang mit Problemen.--- Egal, ob Ihr einhand segelt, mit einer Crew unterwegs seid oder gerade erst mit dem Segeln beginnt – dieser Podcast liefert Euch fundiertes Wissen und praktische Einsichten, die auf dem Wasser Gold wert sind.
