My Catamaran Broke Apart 100 Miles From Hawaii
About 100 miles off Kona, pounding waves broke my catamaran’s rear main beam, leaving the starboard hull hanging from the deck. Keeping the boat together meant repeated trips into the black water beneath it, using rope and winches to lash a broken home back together. Full Catamaran Video: Excerpt...
Why Is the Rudder in Front of the Propeller?
Moving the engines aft creates more interior space, but it also places the rudders ahead of the propellers. I would test low-speed maneuvering on each engine separately because two engines are not true redundancy if one failure leaves the boat circling. Full Stream: 📗 Get My Book:
When Grenada Stopped Being Safe
For decades, cruisers gathered in Grenada because it sat just below the hurricane box that shaped many marine insurance policies. In July 2024, Hurricane Beryl flattened Carriacou and turned Tyrell Bay into a boat graveyard, shattering the industry's faith in that safe zone. Full Video: 📗 Ge...
Can a Wave Snap a Ship in Half?
A ship's hull behaves like one enormous beam, bending through hogging and sagging as wave crests and troughs support different sections. Push that steel beyond what it can bear and the hull can fracture, a failure that overwhelmingly strikes long, heavily loaded tankers and freighters. Full Vi...

A Great Deal or a $200,000 Disaster?
This 60 year old Sparkman & Stephens yacht has an incredible pedigree, a valuable mast, and a recently reduced asking price. The aluminum hull could still be viable or require a $200,000 replating job, making a complete hull-thickness survey essential before buying it. Full Stream: 📗 Get My B...
The Window Design That Made These Boats Leak
Cooper sailboats can be good performers, but their large acrylic windows were not always engineered with enough frame overlap. Once the adhesive begins to fail, water can quickly enter the boat and damage the surrounding interior. It does not necessarily make the boat a bad purchase, but it creates ...
A Great Bluewater Boat With a Leaky Reputation
This Robert Harris design was built by Ta Yang in Taiwan and earned a reputation as a stout bluewater cruiser. Unfortunately, the original teak decks also earned these boats the nickname “Leaky Tikis.” This example has lost its teak deck and received several interior repairs, but a buyer still needs...
