These Boats are Funky
Some boats stand out for their unconventional design—but that uniqueness can become a major limitation offshore. If a vessel can’t be easily serviced or understood by others, it requires you to be far more self-reliant as an owner. 📗 Get My Book: ...

All Captains Understand THIS
Being a captain isn’t about certification—it’s about mindset. The responsibility begins the moment you decide to take people out, and your crew will look to you for decisions when it matters most. 📗 Get My Book: https://bethecaptain.com
Beware the first 72 hours offshore
The first few days offshore are when fatigue is at its worst—and when decision-making breaks down. Without proper rest and watch structure, even experienced sailors can make poor calls that lead to bigger problems. ⏰Printable Watch Schedules: https://...

The Night Theros Disappeared
June 10th, 2024. sv Theros leaves Halifax bound for the Azores. Three days later, 34 miles southwest of Sable Island — the graveyard of the Atlantic — their AIS goes dark. The boat is never found. Four weeks later, the crew washes ashore on Sable Islan...
How Pacific Ocean Weather Works
From the southeast trades to the milk run, through the ITCZ — the doldrums — up through the northeast trades, and then into the westerlies at 35-40 degrees north where it gets serious. Big lows form over Russia, roll across the Pacific, and feed the Al...

The Law of Compounding Chaos #sailing #marineservices #sailboat
Motion breaks things. Fatigue makes you stupid. Stupidity feeds fear. Fear feeds panic. Offshore failures don't come in ones. They compound. Recognize the chain.
Where Do You Store Your Emergency Water?
3 weeks without food, 3 days without water. Most sailors have emergency water somewhere on the boat — but can you grab it in 5 seconds before you step off? 10 gallons aft, last thing to go under. Simple system, costs almost nothing. Check it before every...
NEVER Use a Car Battery in Your House/Boat
It's cheaper. It's also a different chemistry — one that burns at 2,000° and generates its own oxygen. Your extinguisher is irrelevant. Your exit becomes the inferno. Get the offshore manual: https://bethecaptain.com/

The tragic last 4 words of these sailors… #sailing #truestory #shorts
The tragic story of the Cheeky Rafiki. During a delivery from Antigua to the UK, a catastrophic structural failure caused the grid to rip the fiberglass hull apart. Without a keel, the boat capsized instantly, leaving the crew with no time to escape. These...
The Secret Skeleton of Modern Sailboats
Most production boats from 35 to 55 feet share a hidden construction secret: the structural grid. Instead of building piece-by-piece inside the boat, manufacturers build an internal "skeleton" separately, install the interior systems, and then drop the ent...

Why I Quit Delivering Sailboats #sailboat #sailing

The Night I Almost Lost the Keel (and Why I Quit Deliveries)
In 2014, I delivered a Beneteau First 47.7 from the Bahamas to Cartagena. Somewhere in the Caribbean, 150 miles offshore, I found myself ankle-deep in water, crew vacuuming the bilge in the dark, batteries dead, no GPS, no autopilot. I didn't know at the t...
