Nothing prepared us for how a small mishap could lead to this…Merch re-stock! Check out our classic tees here 😊 https://slimandsophsailingnakama.com/

We’ve been completing a circumnavigation of Australia aboard our tiny sailboat Nakama, for a while now, but it’s taken us a while because we’ve been also getting our degrees at the same time. And also, because I keep saying yes to doing yacht races with my mum. Crossing the pacific to and fro, means we haven’t been aboard Nakama for a while. But we hope to return to her soon, But, when both Slim & I need to go under the knife...Well, it might just be a little longer that our lap is delayed.

Slim & Soph - Sailing Nakama

Welcome aboard SV Nakama, We are Slim & Soph a young Aussie couple tryna get by living aboard our tiny retro sailboat with our cat Chilli. We sail the Australian coastline whilst attending university online and take you with us. After putting study on the back burner for years as we didn’t want to sacrifice adventure, we thought why not have both? Fed up with the outrageous rental prices in our hometown, the idea of doing it afloat came to mind. We figured we could scrape by on our tight student budget if we stopped paying way too much rent and lived minimally on the ocean, whilst continuing our passion for adventure. The plan for now, is to keep sailing onwards, keeping Australia to our left and once we're done doing that...Who knows. Our mission is to prove that anyone can do it, you don’t need the fanciest boat or a squillion bucks, just a whole lot of ambition and a willingness to make mistakes and learn. So join us on this whacky adventure! Slim & Soph xoxo
