Sailing Lessons Learned: Rigging Failures on My Vintage Sailboat ???

Learning to sail and living on a vintage sailboat is an adventure in itself, but what happens when the rigging gives way while at full sail in some spicy seas? Follow along as I share the highs and lows of my sailing adventure and experience my first rigging failure. There are some great lessons learned. ???? You get to watch as I navigate through the unexpected and come out stronger on the other end. This is the first time that I've been forced to face my fears with the uncertainty of this lifestyle I've chosen. This is a raw look at a new live-aboard sailor's journey.
