Initially I wanted to sail to Penrhyn, the northernmost Cook Islands. Instead, I end up in a Doldrum area, a stationary calm zone. New plan, new course. Instead of calm, it becomes stormy. I drop anchor in the middle of the ocean, in Suwarrow Atoll. But that's where the problems begin. I'm sailing alone on Reykja, a 35-year-old steel ketch. My route: from Bora Bora, via Suwarrow, to Samoa, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Let's talk anchors! What do you use for a decent hold on your catamaran or monohull? What is your favourite anchor and why? Please share your experience for us all to learn 🙏🏼
▫️
Let's face it, when you are out sailing, this is one of the most important pieces of kit on your yacht. I prefer to go the next size up than the recommended. Yes, that's more weight, but your anchor ⚓ is your first insurance on your safety and your boat.
▫️
Use a scope of 4 or even 5:1 (chain length vs depth) up to 7:1 or more in hairy conditions. Remember to add on your bow roller height. So in a depth of 10m your 'real' depth is 11m if you have a bridgedeck clearance of 1m. And remember, you are going to let out your bridle at the end. Take those metres off before you attach.
▫️
4/1 can be difficult to do in the Med when it's busy as many day trippers just let out 3/1 or even 2/1. Make a call based on the conditions and do a swim around. You can always let out more chain when the anchorage calms down at night.

Episode 416 : Season 13 : Sailing Indonesia

Hello Friends, Welcome to a special long format "film" that chronicles my struggles as I attempted to escape Indonesia at the end of 2024.

After delays in Australia earlier in the year, I find myself battling fierce storms and attempted to claw my way out of Indonesia as the wet season bares its teeth and puts me on dangerous lee shores. This film is being released as a "Premiere" and I will be on the live chat, watching it will all of you for the first public viewing.

Directly following the Premiere I will be doing an hour long live stream answering any questions people may have had in real time and talking about the struggles of sailing in Indonesia and the hardships of the cruising life.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Yachting Reviews' Chris Beeson and Graham Snook travel to Hellevoetsluis in Holland, home to the Vaan Yachts shipyard. Co-founded by serial sustainable business builder Igor Kluin and Nienke van t' Klooster, who also looks after interior styling, Vaan's mission is to lead the way to the sustainable building of entirely recyclable yachts. Igor's shocking stat is that, every year, 78,000 of Europe's 80,000 end-of-life yachts are incinerated. Vaan is committed to leading the industry to a circular model where yachts can be dismantled and the raw materials used again. Igor shows us where the dream becomes reality.

We love reviewing yachts for you, but it costs way more than it earns — at least for the moment.

If you’re enjoying the reviews, you could help us make more by supporting us.

We’d be super grateful.

If you’ve any other ideas about how we can make Yachting Reviews create income while letting us say what we think about yachts, we’d love to hear from you!

At this point, we find out that our friends will be cruising in Croatia in about three weeks or so.
Keeping in mind that we still have to plan carefully as Meltemi winds won’t make it easy for us going north, therefore we will take every opportunity we can to get to Athens as soon as possible.
We finally reached Athens and anchored in this superb spot. It was a treat! BUT it was quite impossible to find a place to leave the boat and dingy for a day and go explore the city. Plus we still needed fuel and water, as our water maker is currently being repaired. Therefore we decided to go to the marina - only the question is - can we find a place and visit Acropolis???

This video covers several reasons why the ship's Center of Gravity (G) rises. It explains the movement of the ship's center of gravity.

When shifting a weight already onboard, the ship’s center of gravity always moves parallel to the movement of the center of gravity of the weight being shifted.

When loading a weight, the ship’s center of gravity will always move toward the center of gravity of the weight being loaded.

When discharging weight, the ship’s center of gravity moves away from the center of gravity of the weight being discharged.

Episode #300 - Sailing Alone Series (no.5)

Hello Friends,

This is the latest installment of my Sailing Alone Series.

On this film I sail 1100 nautical miles to New Zealand from Fiji after a full season in the islands of the South Pacific. This was easily the most challenging passage I have had since leaving Hawaii with conditions being either extremely calm or heavy weather. I was faced with days of being becalmed then days of 30+ knots of wind and rain and then back to being becalmed. This went on for the entire 15 day passage.

My engine only lasted long enough to get me outside the reefs of Fiji and after I shut it off it never restarted again. I ended up rebuilding it in Opua, New Zealand.

I hope you enjoy this latest long format film.

Hello Friends,
I have put this video together to talk about how I got into sailing, finding my dream boat, spending 4 years refitting her and pushing off to sail over 11.5k miles across the largest ocean in the world alone.

This video is about a dream, a seemingly impossible dream, that I made come true working pay check to pay check and leaving land life behind.
