If ever a film needed a better thumbnail, then its this one... but there is not much you can show that will make this any more interesting than it is I'm afraid.
So this is just a short update on how we fixed the hole!
Thanks to Mads at Sail Life for th...
So after emptying the boat, removing all the clutter that builds up during the course of a years cruising, and then taking off everything else that would move so that we could begin work we uncover a problem... potentially a BIG problem as that!!!

So with Sea Horse out of the water now for 4 months we take a look at the long list of jobs that we have to get done.

So hauling her out of the water and un-stepping the mast might mark the end of our first season sailing Sea Horse but it also marks the start of our first winter of work, refitting her. Ummmm

Its a chilly October morning, and the last round in the Medway Cruising Club (MCC) Burton series. Its a five race series and we had done the first four with a friend but for the last race it was just us.
And we had a great time.

Some people like doing it, others not so much, but being able to sail a yacht on your own is an important skill to have. This is a short film that we shot at the end of the year, on a gloomy day, that gives you some idea of the way we go about it.

As many of you may know Ian likes sailing on his own, so when he found out that our yacht club was running a couple of races this year just for single, and double handed competitors he was looking forward to competing
Unfortunately Sea Horse was still in ...
Its an early start today to catch the tide that will sweep us out into the north sea so that we can cut around the Maplin sands and the Shoeburyness firing range. Then we head south west, into the Thames estuary and then into the River Medway where right o...
We start today with Izzy finally catching a crab but the weather forecasts all predicted that our luck was about to run out and that tomorrow morning would be our last chance to get home for a few days. So later we head off, motoring back down the river t...
So after pulling Ian up the mast to check on the jib halyard we set off for a pleasant sail further up the Crouch to Fambridge.
It was a great journey and apart from some fun and games finding a pontoon to tie up all went very smoothly. Once there we unl...
So after a short, but great stop over in Brightlingsea we get up early (well early for us) and start heading south again. This time down to Burnham, one of our favorite places on the east coast, for the start of a few days spent on the River Crouch

Today, the friends that we had made in Tollesbury were planning a short hop along the coast to Brightlingsea.... and as we had never been before there before and as they didn't seem to object to us tagging along, we decided to follow them.
Turned out to b...
Family cruise day 1. So its the start of our 2016 summer cruise and we couldn't have asked for better conditions. The sun was shinning the tides we perfect and we had a really great sail north to Tollesbury, a unique little marina hidden away in the saltin...
Last year Junior week was extremely cold, extremely wet and extremely windy. This year it was very warm, very very dry and
sunny but unfortunately not much in the way of wind. But it didn't stop close to 50 cadets of mixed ages and abilities having a wond...
When we arrived there wasn't any wind, like zero! But it filled in just enough for us all to get to the furthermost mark downwind and then half way back before the organisers sensibly decided to shorten.

Its not all about boat maintenance and racing, the real reason to own a boat is the pleasure you can get from it, and sharing that time with friends.

From the moment the evenings are light enough up to the summer break some keen volunteers at Medway YC run a series of 9 races on a Wednesday night.
We missed the start of the series as Sea Horse was stuck on the south coast and then school, wind and weat...
We intended to all go racing at the Medway Keel boat regatta this year but it turned out to be a bit to windy for filming, and much to windy for Izzy so Ian raced her with Tony and a mutual friend Stewart.
This is the story of what happened.

Pretty much as the title suggests.
SeaHorse came with a complete set of B&G instruments that included an excellent Zeus 2 chart plotter in the cockpit. Although this is great when sailing its less convenient if your down below.

There are lots of different ways in which you can clean the fouling from your yacht, this is how we do it at Medway Yacht Club.

As ever the weather wasn't playing ball but it wasn't that bad either so we continued our journey home, actually making good time in the end even without the wind!
So after owning Sea Horse for a month we finally get to put her on her own mooring
Something AWESOME is coming!
