The best stern lines for your boat | Ultraline
We recently made a video about stern tying because cruising as we have done for the last two seasons in places like Croatia, Greece and especially Turkey, it is a very necessary skill to have.
It can be a tricky thing to do ( I hope the video helps a bit with that) but you also need the right equipment. We had fitted a 60 meter long ultraline two years ago in anticipation of cruising this area, and we were very thankful we did. In fact this year we removed our old webbing reel which came with the boat and fitted a second, longer Ultraline because it was so much better.
This video take you through the fitting construction and use of these reels.
We are now sponsored by Ultraline which is great because they produce the best quality marine equipment available. We get good deals and we are trying to get good deals for our viewers too. So far we have a discount for our Patreons in Europe, we are trying to expand that.
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.

Building a J-Pole AIS Antenna
I had been meaning to build a J-Pole Antenna for oue AIS for years. I had heard they perform very well and do away with the complexity of having a splitter in line which can compromise the VHF and the AIS if things go wrong. Well of course with the constan...
Is Bermuda better than the Bahamas for cruising? Ep 147
Many people just use Bermuda as a quick staging post on a West East Atlantic crossing. We think that is a massive mistake as Bermuda is one of our favourite places. Now that The Bahamas have hiked their cruising costs to thousands of pounds per vessel, Ber...
What’s it like sailing 800 miles offshore? | Ep146
The first leg of an Atlantic crossing is often the most tricky. Coming West the trade winds from the Canaries to the Caribbean are pretty reliable but getting down the the Canaries from Portugal can be a challenge. It was for us as you can see in Ep104 whe...
