Ep80 | How safe is your rig?
December 15, 2022 by Sailing Fair Isle | Language: EN Play Time: 00:32:21 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Time has come for us to re-rig Fair Isle, luckily we happen to know a top class rigger. Jade is a rigger for the Golden Globe Race, he knows how to make sure a rig can stand up to the rigors of the Southern ocean and he came out to see us in Montenegro.
So as well as anchoring in what has to be the best backdrop for Xmas lights in the world and seeing more of marvellous Montenegro, we have a great technical section for you in this episode. Much more to come!
Jade is based in North Wales and has a big sail loft as well as the rigging business. He comes highly recommended! https://www.theboatshedwales.co.uk/

Sailing Fair Isle
We have sold our house in the UK and moved aboard our boat. She is a classic cutter rigged 48 foot Hans Christian; a very strong blue water boat more than capable of sailing around the world. Just hope we are! We are professional documentary filmmakers working for the BBC and many other TV stations around the world. Broadcasters aren't interested in commissioning sailing programs these days so we are launching our channel online. Sailing Fair Isle is aiming to be more than just a vlog showing our travels. It will be a travel log, but also a documentary style show with proper content and broadcast technical standards. That's the plan anyway. Lets see how it goes.

After running aground in the last episode sailing through Southern Cuba, our luck doesn't really get any better this week. Cuba is not the place to have things fail as there is no way of getting anything here directly and importing spares is very difficult...

The worst place to run aground | Ep138

Cuba is without doubt the friendliest and most fascinating place we've been in the Caribbean - but somewhat surprisingly, there are hardly any tourists here (and they could really use more!). Cruising here on a boat is not like other countries. Officially...
