Ryan & Sophie Sailing
Ever wondered what life looks like on the other side of quitting your job to sail around the World? We did too. And then, we took the plunge. Welcome to our channel, where we tell the stories of our sailing voyage, from zero experience to full-time cruising! We are Ryan and Sophie, an American guy and a French girl who met in Sweden, on a cold night of March 2015. Shortly thereafter, we decided to leave our corporate jobs to live a big sailing adventure around the World together. We had no experience of sailing at all before we started, and had honestly no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Turns out, with a bit of willpower and work, anything goes. The dream came true on June 5th of 2018, when we finally got to set sail from our home port in Stockholm. Don't forget to subscribe (it helps us a lot ;)) and check out our website at www.ryanandsophie.com for more sailing-related photos and articles!

ANTIFOULING: Who would put hard paint on top of soft paint?! #3
6 weeks to departure! I knew that becoming a sailboat owner meant that at some point, I would end up with a sanding machine in my hands and a valved safety mask on my face, doing something that I was probably not going to enjoy. In this episode, Ryan an...

Shine little sailboat, shine! #5

We’re moving on our sailboat. This is how it feels. #8
10 days to the move, we are getting the boat ready for us to move onboard! I was secretly hoping that Ryan would have put the boat back in order while I was away, sailing across the North Sea. Nope! It had a lot of work left to do… Coming home, the r...

Sailing around the World: Day One. #10

Two (pseudo) Swedish sailors crash the party at the Kieler Week #12
