Which Anchor?
October 29, 2020 by Sailing Fair Isle | Language: EN Play Time: 00:15:10 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
There’s no doubt that your anchor is one of the most important items on your boat and it’s one of the most overlooked. There have been huge advances in anchor technology so would you benefit from a more modern anchor?
Well that really depends on the anchor you have and the cruising you intend to do, but getting it wrong could end very badly!
The ‘Anchoring 101’ video went through technique, this video looks at anchors, the good, the bad and the ugly!
When you watch the video you will see we went for the prettiest anchor, but I promise I wasn’t interested in it’s looks! Although I have to say you can’t help admiring the beauty of the design and it’s lovely having an anchor that stays clean.
It’s also nice to deal with a company with helpful staff, they answered all my technical questions and couldn’t have been better to deal with.

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.

BROKEN! You’re on your own in Cuba | Ep139
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
