Make Your Own Offshore Sails and Save Thousands: https://www.practical-sailor.com/sails-rigging-deckgear/sails-canvas/make-your-own-offshore-sails-and-save-thousands/ How long do sails actually last? Sailmakers often say cruising sails last around 10–15 years, but what happens when you discover a sail that’s nearly 50 years old? In this video I head to the sail loft to inspect the sails on my sailboat Lady K and uncover a surprising piece of sailing history: a genoa that turns out to be the original sail from 1980. That discovery raises an important question every sailor eventually faces when maintaining a sailboat — how long should sails really last? We break down the lifespan of Dacron sails vs laminate sails, why cruising sails can sometimes survive for decades, and the real factors that determine when a sail needs replacing. From UV damage and stitching failure to sail shape and performance loss, this video explains what sailors, cruisers, and boat owners should know before ordering expensive new sails. If you’re wondering whether your mainsail or genoa is worn out, or how to extend the life of your sails, this deep dive into sail longevity will help you understand what really happens to sailcloth over time. how long do sails last,sailboat sails lifespan,dacron vs laminate sails,when to replace sails,sailboat maintenance,cruising sailboats,sailboat genoa,sailboat mainsail,dacron sail longevity,sailing tips,sailboat gear,sail loft,sail inspection,cruising sails vs racing sails,sailboat ownership,sailing education 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/

När vi bor heltid på vår segelbåt i Karibien är vi vana vid att saker går fel… men den här gången händer allt på en gång. Vi får beskedet att Niklas pappa har gått bort och vi vill ta oss hem till Sverige så snabbt som möjligt. Men att lämna båten i Martinique visar sig vara mycket svårare än vi trodde. Först har vi svårt att hitta en marinaplats. Vi får ett ja men som helt plötsligt blir ett nej. Och mindre än 24 timmar innan vi ska resa händer det värsta… Motorn startar inte. I det här avsnittet försöker vi lösa allt i sista minuten samtidigt som känslorna är starka och tiden rinner iväg.

Is the 2024 Beneteau Antares 11 Coupé the Renault 5 of the sea? James certainly thinks so — and after today’s tour, you might too. Despite the frostbite-inducing conditions in Essex (and a questionable winter hat), we dive into a boat that delivers a huge amount of fun for a very reasonable price. Expect blade windows, a balcony that just about fits James, and engines taller than most people’s children. Inside, we explore the saloon — complete with walnut veneer that’s definitely “perfectly fine” — and the galley that does everything you need as long as you don’t expect Michelin stars. James shows off his Loch Ness Monster socks (dedicated to the late Stan Prosser), and gives his honest take on where Beneteau have saved money… and where they’ve been surprisingly generous. We crunch the running costs, fuel burn and finance numbers — because nothing says “romantic weekend away” like a chat about annual depreciation. But with brilliant visibility at the helm, a spectacular side door, and a hull that makes 35–40 knots feel effortless, it’s easy to see why this is such a popular weekender for families. Whether you’re new to boating or already plotting your next upgrade, remember the golden rule: just get out there. Boats create memories, laughs, and the occasional argument about heating noise. This one happens to be for sale too — so if you fancy the Renault 5 of the water, it’s waiting for you at https://www.boats.co.uk/boats-for-sale/beneteau-antares-11-3302/?from=index TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Introduction to the Renault 5 of boats 🚗🛥️ 00:55 – Blade windows & clever cost-cutting 👀 01:42 – Deep-V hull overview ⬇️ 02:18 – Onboard and Stan Prosser tribute 🕊️ 03:04 – Cockpit layout and balcony reveal (slowly) 04:53 – Into the saloon 07:15 – Helm visibility, giant side door & controls 👨‍✈️ 09:15 – Cabins and heads review 12:14 - Spacious walkway to the foredeck 12:53 – Running costs, finance & buying breakdown 💷 17:19 - James' final thoughts 🔔 Like & Subscribe for more exclusive factory tours and boat reviews!

This week, we continue cruising the Bras d’Or Lakes, bringing Arabella from Macnabs Cove to Baddeck…with a lovely stop at Pellier Harbour on the way. Robin was able to get some more experience with hoisting and lowering all four of Arabella’s sails, bringing us over to Pellier Harbour in one, long, beautiful tack, with 12-13 knots of wind on the beam. As far as we’re concerned, Pellier Harbour is the greatest anchorage in the Bras d’Ors. We know there are probably a dozen other incredible anchorages, but this one just stole our hearts. It’s a unique anchorage, and a great opportunity to practice anchoring bow and stern. If we were bolder, we could have put Arabella’s bowsprit over the sandbar. But we just…couldn’t ;-) Instead, I got as close as I dared and dropped the main anchor, threw Arabella in reverse, and then dropped the stern anchor. In hindsight, I should have dropped the stern anchor on the way in, but without Robin on board (hey, someone had to be filming from land) I wouldn’t have been able to finagle it. I’m glad we had the opportunity to practice anchoring bow and stern before arriving in Newfoundland. We learned a lot in a very low-consequence way, and can bring this new boating skill on the road with us as we head to our destination for the winter. There, we’ll likely encounter a lot more anchorages like this one. Retrieving the stern anchor requires a bit of thought. With some creative rigging, I set up a system that will make for easy retrieval. Creative anchoring aside, exploring Pellier Harbour turns out to be a big tease: the water is warm and clear and beckoning for us to dive in…but it’s also FILLED to the brim with Lion’s Mane jellyfish (and they do NOT want to hang out). We loved the peace, beauty and solitude of this anchorage so much, we extended our stay by an extra day. Greatest anchorage in the Bras d’Ors… We reluctantly weighed anchor after a few nights, and the sail to Baddeck was fun and light. The harbor is just as idyllic as everything else we’ve seen in the Brad ‘dOrs (but not quite as magical as Pellier Harbour). Baddeck was home to the famous inventor, Alexander Graham Bell, so, of course there’s a museum…and of course we take a quick tour of it! After all, we had plenty of time to kill while we were waiting for a new Starlink dish to arrive (grumble grumble, harumph harumph, a story for another time), and we love a good museum. In addition to the Alexander Graham Bell Museum, we were able to check out the Community Market, where we stocked up on some critical supplies: homemade croissants!! The outdoor ban also got lifted on our last day in Baddeck, and we immediately wandered into some local trails on Kidston Island where we snacked on wild blackberries and enjoyed every pine-scented inhale. It felt so good to be in the woods again…and where we’re going, there’s plenty more for us to explore. Our psych is at an all-time high! Get us to the mountains!! From Baddeck, our plan is to head over to Kelly’s Cove, an anchorage closer to the open ocean. That sets us up to make the run to North Sydney in a nice, short day. There, we’ll await our new Starlink dish and wait for a weather window to jump off to Newfoundland! -------------------------- 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!

What is a National Action Plan and why does it matter for shipping? This short film explores how countries are developing National Action Plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships. From promoting energy efficiency and low-carbon fuels to enhancing port infrastructure and policy frameworks, these plans are critical to driving greener, more sustainable shipping. These plans are developed as part of IMO’s GreenVoyage2050 Programme. Watch to learn how national strategies are helping chart a course toward decarbonization and climate action at sea.

Wer unsere Unterstützung bei der Bootssuche oder beim Bootsverkauf dabei haben möchte: gerne Kontakt aufnehmen, dann sprechen wir über dein Vorhaben! www.BootsProfis.com Alex ist auf der Suche nach einem Langfahrtschiff mit einem Budget von 75.000€. Eigentlich standen zunächst kleinere und günstigere Boote im Fokus – mit allen typischen Kompromissen bei Platz, Komfort und Zuladung. Durch einen Zufall stoßen wir in Italien auf eine Bruce Roberts 43, die ursprünglich über dem Budget lag. Nach einer ersten Besichtigung, intensiven Gesprächen und Verhandlungen ergibt sich hier eine nette Gelegenheit. Für Gutachten und Testsegeln sind wir auf uns alleine gestellt und erkunden das Boot Schritt für Schritt. Die erste Ausfahrt fand dann unter Bedingungen statt, die das Boot nicht optimal zeigen – dafür aber umso ehrlicher. Am Ende steht eine Entscheidung für ein klassisches, schweres Langfahrtschiff mit viel Raum, Charakter und Potenzial für große Pläne.

Join Mark from Nomad Boatbuilding on a journey to the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, Denmark — a world-class center for maritime archaeology and traditional shipbuilding. In this video, Mark explores the museum’s five original 11th-century Viking ships, unearthed from Skuldelev Fjord, and dives into the fascinating world of experimental archaeology — where modern craftsmen use Viking-era tools and methods to rediscover lost boatbuilding skills. Meet Søren Nielsen, one of the museum’s expert shipwrights, as he demonstrates the art of shaping oak timbers with a Viking bearded axe and shares insights into the challenges and philosophies behind traditional wooden boat construction. Along the way, Mark reflects on the enduring beauty of simple, functional design and the living legacy of maritime craft preserved at Roskilde.
