After rescuing three souls off of a Bavaria 44, I knew something was wrong when I first laid eyes on that dismasted ship all those miles out to sea. It really had no business being out there (in my humble opinion) but I wanted a few other sources to nail down exactly WHY.
I finally got them in the form of a chance sighting in Ensanada, and a rigger named Chris Catterton.
Chris was the man who re-rigged ‘Te Vega’ the Mason 65 that I took across the Pacific a few years ago. You can find that video series here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Io0L22FDq4
When I was requested to help with this boat’s rigging, I called up Chris to see if he could help us out. He ended up making most of the rigging, and we installed it in Ensanada.
Before he got away I sat down with him and had a conversation about Yara, weak parts of the rig, and got his opinions on a few things. This is the YouTube video that came out of it.

Every Sailboat Owner Should Have This Document
Cruising boats are systems-heavy machines, and buyers can feel overwhelmed fast. Keeping a detailed boat document — from filters to line lengths to spare parts — makes ownership and resale dramatically easier. 📗 Get My Book: https://bethecaptain.c...
Boat Electronics Are a Trap
Marine electronics age fast. Support disappears, charts stop updating, and expensive systems quickly become outdated. Buyers often overvalue electronics, but they rarely add as much resale value as people think. 📗 Get My Book: https://bethecaptain.com
Sailboat Insurance Can Screw You.
A boat can be insured on paper and still not be covered in practice. For solo sailors, the fine print matters as much as the policy itself. 📗 Get My Book: https://bethecaptain.com
The Marine Engine Debate
Not all marine engines survive equally well over time. Certain engine designs last dramatically longer in saltwater environments, why mixed metals become a problem. I prefer simpler “tractor-style” engines built for durability. 📗 Get My Book: http...
We Sailed to a FORBIDDEN ISLAND | Sailing Truth Show
Most boats never make it to Mai'O. You can't just sail in... the island decides who comes ashore. Years ago, my girlfriend and I were anchored in Moorea when we met a man whose friend was from Mai'O. He asked if we could bring his friend home. We said yes...
The EU’s Tax Loophole for Boats
Buying a boat in Europe comes with a major tax reality most buyers don’t fully understand. VAT status, shell companies, and ownership structure can completely change the long-term value of a cruising boat. 📗 Get My Book: https://bethecaptain.com
