Ted Irwin yachts are celebrated for his practical, cruiser-oriented designs that prioritized comfort, seaworthiness, and affordability. This 38 foot center cockpit was one of his most popular designs, featuring two cabins and a spacious salon. Praised for its tank-like build and comfort ratio, with a solid fiberglass hull and full keel, this hybrid diesel electric setup makes an amazing combination. The prop is powered by twin 15KW water cooled electric motors, for 30KW of total power. This twin motor setup adds fault tolerance, there are no single points of failure from the motor to the independent battery bank. You can chose to use the battery bank to get in and out of the anchorage or marina, and just sail the boat, or run it like a traditional diesel and cruise at 6 knots until the generator runs out of fuel. The redundancy doesn’t stop there when you’re off the dock, you can charge the batteries with the wind generator, 2KW of solar panels, the prop when it spins under sail, or the 12KW genset. The galley is propane free, with an electric stove and pellet smoker on the stern rail. This yacht is setup to cruise Mexico or beyond, just load up the huge fridge and freezer and cast off those dock lines!

Join us as Dr Glen Burns, senior marine biologist and Master Reef Guide takes us for a snorkel at Quicksilver’s Agincourt Reef pontoon site. Dr Glen has worked on the Great Barrier Reef for about 40 years and people sometimes ask him, "So, how is the Reef looking these days?” As he explains, Agincourt Reef is looking awesome! Located right on the edge of Australia’s Continental Shelf, one of the reasons is very good water quality here. The water quality is excellent which promotes rich coral cover and the best fish diversity. Let’s dive in with Dr Glen! Filmed 28 August 2025 at Agincourt Reef 3.

This video marks the end of my sailing season. I visit Vonitsa before heading into a marina in Preveza where the boat will rest for the winter. Looking back, it has been an incredible journey of 2,340 nautical miles, starting just outside Venice, sailing down the entire Croatian coast, back into Italy, and finally into Greece, heading past Corfu to end in Preveza. Every mile was powered by the sun, without plugging in once. It has been a season of challenges, quiet passages, and unforgettable places, and I am already looking forward to what comes next. #boatlife #electricboat #liveaboard #solarsailing

In this episode of Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States, Bela Musits and co-host Mike Wasserman welcome special guest Robert Sweet — a sailor with an unconventional beginning. Unlike many lifelong sailors, Robert lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, far from the ocean. Yet his passion for sailing grew steadily, from childhood outings on a 19-foot O’Day Day Sailer to charting trips in the Virgin Islands. Bela and Robert dive into the unique challenges and rewards of becoming a boat owner later in life. Robert shares how he and his wife — both in their 60s — transitioned from occasional day sails on vacation to seriously planning for boat ownership. Their journey began with modest sailing experiences: a Sunfish on Long Island waters, renting Hobie Cats on holiday, and the occasional skippered day sail to a coral reef. Over decades, the idea of owning a boat evolved from a casual dream into a concrete goal. To prepare, Robert and his wife booked progressively more immersive sailing experiences. They spent a night aboard a sailboat on Puget Sound, completed ASA 101 and 103 courses in San Diego, and tested overnight stays in various harbors. Each step helped fill gaps in their knowledge — for Robert, understanding onboard systems; for his wife, learning sailing basics and boat handling. The couple planned two key charters to shape their buying decisions: a three-day trip in the Florida Keys aboard a heavy, blue-water center-cockpit boat, and a week in the Virgin Islands on a modern production cruiser — a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey. Their goal was to compare styles, comfort, and performance before committing to a purchase. But as often happens, life intervened. The Florida Keys trip was postponed three times — first by Robert’s mountain biking injury, then by his wife’s back surgery, and finally by scheduling changes. Eventually, they made the Keys trip in December, followed by the Virgin Islands charter over Easter. During the downtime, Robert immersed himself in research — online articles, boat buying guides, and, crucially, sailing podcasts. He discovered Bela’s show and was struck by the host’s perspective as an “older buyer.” Unlike the typical narrative of a 30-year-old dropping everything to sail away, Bela’s discussions addressed the practical realities of starting serious sailing later in life: ergonomics, safety, injury prevention, and choosing a boat suited to physical comfort. Robert emphasizes that boat accessibility is a real concern. Newer boats often have higher freeboards, making boarding a challenge — especially for shorter crew members. Testing boarding methods became part of their evaluation process when visiting marinas and inspecting potential boats. The conversation also touches on sailing in less obvious locations. While living in upstate New York, Bela explored Lake Champlain — a large, beautiful sailing area with many French-built boats. This sparked discussion about how different sailing environments influence boat choice, from inland waters to ocean-ready cruisers. Robert’s story is a reminder that you don’t have to grow up near the sea to become a competent and passionate sailor. His methodical approach — gaining experience in varied conditions, learning boat systems, and realistically assessing personal capabilities — offers valuable lessons for anyone considering buying a boat later in life. Key Topics Covered in This Episode: Growing up sailing small boats and rediscovering the sport decades later Transitioning from day sails to overnight trips and multi-day charters Taking ASA sailing courses to build confidence and competence Comparing blue-water cruisers vs. modern production boats Overcoming physical and logistical challenges as older sailors How to evaluate boarding ease, cockpit layout, and overall ergonomics The importance of testing boats in different sailing locations and conditions Balancing the dream of sailing with realistic preparation and safety Whether you’re an experienced sailor, a dreamer still waiting to cast off, or someone returning to sailing after many years, Robert’s journey proves that passion and persistence can bridge the gap between landlocked life and cruising the Bahamas. About the Podcast: Hosted by Bela Musits and Mike Wasserman, Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States explores the people, boats, and adventures that make sailing such a rich and rewarding lifestyle. From coastal hops to blue-water crossings, and from first-time boat buyers to seasoned cruisers, each episode offers stories, advice, and inspiration for sailors at every stage of their journey.

Why Choose the 1985 Mercury Cruiser (Electric)? This retrofitted 1985 Mercury Cruiser offers a unique blend of vintage style and modern eco-consciousness. Its electric setup is ideal for short, slow cruises (e.g., harbor tours or calm bays), and the $5,000 price point makes it an accessible project boat. However, the 5-hour runtime at 4 knots limits its range, and the original design may not handle 10 people comfortably (more suited for 6-8). It’s a great choice for environmentally conscious boaters or those interested in experimenting with electric propulsion. Below are the links to the equipment used and specs of the boat. Solar Panels https://amzn.to/4mlCGKb M - Series battery switch https://amzn.to/47RsAgB Batteries 12V https://amzn.to/420CMQa Power inverter 5000w https://amzn.to/4nIUZKD Year: 1985 Original Manufacturer: Mercury Marine, in collaboration with various boat builders (e.g., Chris-Craft, Carver, or other OEMs), produced cruisers under the Mercury Cruiser or MerCruiser branding. These were typically equipped with MerCruiser sterndrive engines. Current Configuration: Converted to electric propulsion with a solar panel array, offering 5 hours of runtime at 4 knots. Market Value: $5,000 reflecting its age, condition. Length Overall (LOA): Likely 25-30 feet, based on the size relative to surrounding boats and typical cruiser designs of the era. The exact length isn’t specified, but the cabin and deck layout suggest a mid-sized vessel. Beam: Approximately 8.5-10 feet, common for cruisers to provide stability and interior space. Draft: Around 2.5-3 feet with a sterndrive, allowing access to shallow waters. Hull Material: Fiberglass, standard for Mercury Cruisers of this period. Displacement: Estimated 6,000-8,000 lbs (dry), depending on the model and equipment. Original Engine: Typically powered by a MerCruiser sterndrive, such as a 5.0L V8 (305 cubic inch) or 5.7L V8 (350 cubic inch) gasoline engine, producing 200-260 HP. The 4.7L V8 mentioned doesn’t align with Mercury’s catalog (the closest is the modern 4.6L V8 outboard from 2018), so the original was likely a different displacement. Fuel Capacity: Originally 100-150 gallons (gasoline), now irrelevant with the electric conversion. Water Capacity: Likely 30-50 gallons, typical for cruisers of this size. Cabin: Features a forward cabin with a V-berth or double berth, a compact galley (sink, stove, fridge), and a dinette that converts to additional sleeping space. Cockpit: Open rear deck for socializing or fishing, with potential for a small table or seating. Capacity: Designed for 6-8 people comfortably, with a maximum of 10 possible if equipped with additional seating and adhering to safety regulations (e.g., U.S. Coast Guard capacity plate). The electric conversion might limit load capacity due to battery weight. Benefits Eco-Friendly Cruising: The electric conversion with solar power eliminates fuel costs and emissions, aligning with green boating trends. The 5-hour runtime at 4 knots is suitable for leisurely day trips or harbor exploration. Affordable Entry: At a $5,000 market value, it’s a budget-friendly option for entry-level boating, especially with the added solar investment ($2,500). Low Maintenance: Electric motors require less upkeep than gasoline engines (no oil changes, fewer moving parts), though batteries and solar panels need periodic replacement or cleaning. Quiet Operation: Electric propulsion offers a silent ride, enhancing the experience in quiet anchorages. Retro Charm: The 1985 design retains a classic look, appealing to enthusiasts of vintage boats. Historical Context In the 1980s, Mercury Marine’s MerCruiser division produced sterndrive engines (inboard/outboard systems) for a range of cruisers built by various manufacturers. These boats were popular for their combination of performance and livability, often featuring V8 engines derived from automotive designs (e.g., GM 305 or 350 cubic inch blocks). The 1985 Mercury Cruiser would have been part of this era, offering speeds of 20-30 knots with its original gasoline engine. The conversion to electric power reflects a modern adaptation, likely replacing the sterndrive with an electric motor and integrating solar panels for charging. Maintenance Tips Solar Panels: Regularly clean the panels and check connections to maintain charging efficiency. The $2,500 value suggests a decent-sized array (e.g., 1-2 kW), so ensure it’s securely mounted. Batteries: Inspect and maintain the battery bank (likely lead-acid or lithium) for charge levels and corrosion. Replace every 5-10 years depending on usage. Hull: Check for gelcoat cracks or osmosis, common in 1980s fiberglass hulls, especially if used in saltwater.

Episode 444 : Hundreds of Ships, Nasty Squalls, Sirens and Small Islands Hello Friends, On this episode I slip the lines at the Changi Sailing Club and wave goodbye to the legendary cruising couple, Fatty & Carolyn Goodlander ( http://www.fattygoodlander.com ) I then make my way out into the dense cargo ship anchorage and soon I was faced with a vicious squall! Once the storm had passed I made my way to St. Thomas Island where I was finally able to dive on the bottom to see the damage cause by the reef. I then continued on the the Western Islands and finally arrived at Raffles Marina where I would be clearing out of Singapore.
