Lady K Sailing
Sell everything, sail off into the sunset, and make videos to help other people join into the cruising life and explore this beautiful world. That's always been the mission of Lady K Sailing. I'm Tim and I set out from my days of PHRF sailboat racing on the Great Lakes to explore the world on my 1980 Hughes 35 foot sailboat - Lady K. I refit her extensively, traversed the Erie Canal, and made my way down to the beautiful blue waters. I made a video every Friday with some adventure clips and some "how to" segments to help you get your own boat and come join me. Since the big trip I am back on land refitting Lady K for another big adventure but in the meantime I am making the "Everything You Need to Know" videos and boat shopping videos to help more people enjoy the wonderful world of sailing.
