You guys are amazing. Yes, this is the best sailing video channel on YouTube, and I watch (almost) all of the other channels tool!! I have such respect for your courage, ability and tenacity. You both have a true partnership that is held together by joy and respect. Good luck with ...
But the bad news is that the boats you?re trying to catch are all between you and the wind. This means you must constantly dodge wind shadows, especially when you are sailing toward the ?favored? side. As a result, beats often allow the ?rich to get richer.? The leaders have clearer...
Sort of. the street doesn’t slip away sideways when you press against it, and you won’t usually drift with the wind unless your tires are *really* slick. Report comment Reply Victor says: February 6, 2024 at 8:12 am I told him…hehehe… we already got one Report comment Repl...
Thinking about it afterwards, I believe that what happened is that the fishing boat crossed Marigold’s towline, yanking Marigold against the far side of their hull – the thumping sounds I heard – and pulling hard on the towline until it snapped. I had a hook arrangement high on the ba...

No, what we got was a hard overnight slog, driven back by a fierce three-knot current flowing against nearly twenty-five knots of breeze - the kind of wind against current that mariners fear with good reason, one that creates a maelstrom sea deliberately thrown upon us to kick our back...
This thing is a little rocket. This is my Third year with the X-cat. I still love it. I also have a 30 foot keelboat, but I take the X-cat out a lot. The X-cat is stable & well designed. I just took it out in worsening weather (against my better judgement). Very choppy co...
We experienced the beginning of Hurricane Matthew in 2016 while we were at a marina in Grenada, a storm for which we considered anchoring in a nearby mangrove bay, though we ultimately decided against it when we heard from locals that the holding was bad. It got a little too crowded for ...
In recent years it has been observed that boats in the Classic division have had a hard time competing in fleet scoring against their close cousins racing in Vintage. The reasons for this have been puzzling, however, as these two Divisions generally share quite similar characteristics; their over...
