Routine Propeller Maintenance is an essential part of boat ownership.
In this first Technical Tuesday of 2019 we show you how to service both your propeller and Rope Cutter.
As mentioned, we love blue Locktite as a thread locker for these sort of jobs. T...
Firstly, if you're watching with young children and have no wish to enter into the 'birds and the bees' discussion, feel free to skip the part where we come across a rather unexpected art installation in the marina, which demonstrates how the Ancient Greek...
We have finally answered the age old question of, "What exactly *does* Nick wear when we finally run out of clean underpants?"
Today is JOB DAY onboard Ruby Rose and tbh it's a long time coming. We have been neglecting our poor boat for too long, and now ...
Welcome to Valencia, otherwise known as Foodie Paradise! Okay, so it could be argued that all of Spain is foodie paradise- and that's very true- but our first impressions of Valencia is that we're going to eat verrrrry well while we're here.
First stop on...
As we continue our sail towards Valencia, we find ourselves sat on deck with stunning scenery and calm seas on a very hot October day. Nothing fixes a hot day better than a swim and a cold beer at the end of the day.

As we approach the end of our Sailing for 2018, it's a good time to reflect on our year. What did we love the most? What were the highs and lows of a brilliant season? We asked our Patrons on their thoughts and answer some of their questions.
Join our Pa...
We are still sailing the stunning Spanish coast. The sea is flat calm and we spend our day enjoying the stunning scenery and carrying out a few running repairs. We are coming to the end of our season and are getting closer to our final stop at Valencia.

This week we're in Alicante, the home of the most epic ocean sailing race in the world: the Volvo Ocean Race. We visit the rather excellent museum and learn more about the incredible sailors who participate in this extreme sporting event. We have nothing b...
This week's episode is the perfect illustration of sailing life's ups and downs. On the one hand, we get some gorgeous sailing days along the Spanish coasts; on the other hand, we've got more engine problems that crop up unexpectedly. This episode really d...

Yeeeeaaah we did!
This week we sailed our friend's Lagoon 400 catamaran and, believe it or not, we had some thoughts about it. I know, shocker.

There's an adage: Cruising is just boat maintenance in exotic locations. Yep- that's what we're dealing with this week. After last week's engine disaster we're in full problem-solving mode. We find part of the problem and Nick sets to fixing it.
And then...
Welcome to the latest episode of Ruby Rose!
We are sailing the med again this week and we have three days of sailing to get to our next port. We always say that cruising is all about high highs and low lows, and this episode provides a perfect example of ...
After 20,000 nautical miles our sails are coming to the end of their lives. It's not that they have holes or tears in them. However they stretch with time, and poor sail shape reduces performance and makes the boat heel more.
While we are laid up for winte...
Interested in the new Southerly/Discovery partnership? Fan of Distant Shores? Enjoy watching so-bad-it's-good magic tricks by Nick? Yes? Well, this is the episode for you!
This week we take you on a tour of hull 1 Southerly 480, which happens to belong to...

Welcome to another Technical Tuesday!
This is a tour of what we think is the best bluewater sailboat under 40ft: a Southerly 38. Yeah, we're biased!
After putting a poll o...
Welcome to our latest sailing vlog of sailing in the Mediterranean!
We sail from Gibraltar to Almerimar and the sailing is NOT great. There's foul current and we motor into light winds which conspire to slow us down considerably. We're not even sure we'll...
This week we are monkeying around on top of the world in Gibraltar! This place is a bit bananas. We go swinging around the top of the Gibraltar Rock and Nick declares himself the leader of the local macaque population (they pay him zero attention).
Join...
This week we sail through the Gibraltar Strait, a famous and historic narrow stretch of water that separates Europe from Africa and the Atlantic from the Mediterranean. There's a lot going on. And it is indescribably cool to pass through this strait and se...
When a Levante wind rips through the Straight of Gibraltar, effectively leaving us port-bound in Cadiz, we decide to take the opportunity to catch the train up to Seville, the capital of Andalusia.
Join us as we spend two whirlwind days exploring this hi...
Welcome to another episode!
This week we're in the beautiful Andalusian town of Cadiz, which is the first big European town we've been to by boat in many years. First step is to dust off our very average Spanish. Terysa attempts to order a pretty simple b...
After an amazing day sail across the bay of Cadiz, night falls. We start our tried and tested watch system on a clear, moonlit night. Day breaks and we sail into site of the beautiful Moorish city of Cadiz. And as usual, we celebrate with our traditional b...
Something AWESOME is coming!
