It is great to see the recent press for shorthanded sailing, what took everyone so long?  Singlehanded sailing, and I should add doublehanded is a great way to race, trek, or cruise, and just have more enjoyment on the water.  Shorthanded sailing has been my passion for decades.  And having been through a wide range of shorthanded boats, I have dialed in what works best for me.  That does not mean it works for everyone, but it definitely works well for me, and hopefully can for you.   Shorthanded sailing you have to understand all aspects of the boat, and switch…

This episode is two parts in one video. Trekking is something John and I have been doing for years, so I thought I would bring it a bit to light. A great way to get back to the love of sailing.

I walking through the steps would be worthwhile. Hunt for next boat has been taking up time each week. Know what we want, just need…

This is a subject I am very passionate about as this has been a huge part of my sailing career.  Singlehanded sailing for me started as a kid in my first pram.  Yes, I know it is not the same as were this post will go, but it was a start for a six year old kid having his first boat, and freedom to go out and sail on his own.  This along with our family cruising and local club racing I was one happy kid.

Not the common thing you will hear from a site a lot of readers think is only for shorthanded sailing.  Well that is just one aspect of my business, the other is my video production company which has been a major part of my business for decades.

Happy New Year!  I would like to let all of the shorthanded sailors reading to be aware of the great deal that just came on the market.  No, I do not receive a commission.  This is a friend’s boat, which is set up very well by the owner, who is an excellent shorthanded sailor.  The boat is well maintained and is ready to go win races.  She is a Bermuda 1-2 winner singlehanded, Solo/twin winner, and finishes in the top three in most shorthanded races she enters.  Let me send you right to the fantastic information from the owner.
