We have been sailing our Leopard catamaran for six years, crossing oceans and really putting down the miles on our boat. We spent a long time choosing this model and there are a number of reasons why we are super happy with our choice, but after 6 years of hard sailing, and a recent rough ocean pass...

After our boat was badly damaged by the boatyard, we now have to trust them to lift Escapade again — and this time, everything has to go right.
After everything that happened to Escapade, the time finally comes to start putting her back together.
But before we can get anywhere near putting this ni...

We are halfway through our sailing passage from New Zealand to Fiji, but we're facing a big problem. We anchored in a submerged atoll called Minerva Reef, because the metal structure that holds our dinghy in place broke in the huge waves that we saw last week. Before we can leave this lagoon an...

This is part 2 of Iain's first ever solo sail, taking on a challenging stretch of water from New Zealand to Fiji. It's 1200 miles in big waves with some of our highest ever boat speeds and even though we've just spent months improving our boat in the yard, there are still things just ...
We've been working non stop in New Zealand for the last few months as we refit our catamaran and get Indioko ready to head back into the tropics and off grid again. And although things haven't quite gone to plan so far this year, we've done our best to push on through but we're a...
Join me for a inside look at what a surveyor sees when reviewing a Beneteau 473. Some issues are not always easy to spot but cannot hide from a trained eye of a good surveyor. Seeing what a surveyor looks for can help you spot problems when used boat shopping.

This was not the video we expected to make this week.

We tried to fly our drone around a remote island in New Zealand to get some awesome aerial shots of our boat in the anchorage but a battery failure meant it crash landed in the sea, only a short distance from our sailboat.
It's too cold to swim here at this time of year but we just got an ROV ...
