Marie enjoys a steaming hot shower (Learning By Doing Ep221)

Solo Sailing Catamaran’s, good idea or bad? (Learning By Doing Ep219)
I’ve always loved solo sailing, Sailing alone on a Catamaran is a lot different from a monohull though, this I learnt. I’m yet to decide if I’ll solo sail my Cat on longer passage though as the danger seems to be much higher. I solo sailed my mono m...

#136 – 380 MILE SAIL AFTER 10 years ABANDONED ON THE HARD #136

Passage Planning for Bass Strait. (Learning By Doing Ep217)
Today we show you our process for planning a sailing passage, in this case to cross the notorious Bass Strait. We are losing patience slowly, being stuck here in Eden for over 3 weeks now but are still cautious as Catamaran is still new and unproven to us....

Bass Straight passage FAILURE. (Learning By Doing Ep215)
Off we go, across the Bass Straight to Tasmania. We didnt get very far though, first the Jib halyard broke then after fixing that and sailing on one of the job sheets snapped. That was enough, I lost all trust in the running rigging and for the first time ...

Moving aboard our new Boat! (Learning By Doing Ep212)
Moving Time! The process of packing up our old home (Schiehallion) and moving all that stuff to our new home (Trade Runner) is a big one. Accumulated stuff has to be sorted through, junk thrown away. Then everything needs to be transported over, all of by ...
