• Training the Machine Part 2

    OK, for part 2 let’s dive into the fitness discussion.  Good time of year to refine your training for the upcoming season. I will repeat what I said in part 1 that we are all different, and have different physical needs to bring the machine to top performance.  But we all have the same end goal, to tune us so we have the opportunity to get into the flow state. But to get into the flow state does not just happen by chance, you have to train for it, just as you have to do with all the elements of…

  • Winter Boat Project Management

    We are near the end of haul out season in New England, so now is the perfect time to plan the winter projects.

  • UBI FR125 Furler & Doyle Code 0, Episode 30

    Wow, hard to believe this weekend is Labor Day Holiday.   Summer has flown by as usual.  Hope you had a lot of time on the water sailing.  We still have a few great months in Southern New England to get out and trek some miles, with less crowds. Kincora has been putting on the miles, with more trips planned.  Really is a great boat, well built, well designed, and pretty well rigged. This episode is a while coming since it was important for me to put miles on the furler, and Code 0, before I felt ready to film the…

  • B&G Triton 2 and Zuse 3 setup, Episode 29

    I hope you are all enjoying the dog days of summer in the northern hemisphere, and getting ready for your season down under. This past week I had one of my followers from In and Out of The Boat Shop, Vimeo channel send a very nice message.  Duncan Hayward from Australia, asked if I would show how I am setting up my instrument readouts, for shorthanded sailing.  Great video idea Duncan. I dove in the next day and recorded the footage on the mooring, spicing up the video with a few sailing shots and hopefully answered Duncan’s question.  If not…
