A gennaker (or asymmetric spinnaker) is a sail that was developed around 1990. Used when sailing downwind, it is a cross between a genoa and a spinnaker. It is not symmetric like a true spinnaker but is asymmetric like a genoa, but the gennaker is not attached to the forestay like a jib or genoa. Th...
Have you been hit by lightning in a boat? We get cracking with "The Kraken", our Code 0, then get stuck in the middle of lightning storms in the sea at night. The beginning of our 200 nautical mile sail to Java and Krakatoa is turning out to be a test of skills and endurance.

After flying our gennaker we decide to go anchoring in Lake Erie once again. We find the perfect anchorage next to Welland Canal in Gravely Bay. We dinghy to the breakwall and walk around. Unfortunately, the rainy fall weather brings some not so nice surprises and forces us to do more boat projects...
With light winds it's finally our first time sailing our gennaker. And free doesn't mean trouble free as we find out while testing our free radar. We also try some different type of food and get a cold front.

Footage of my first solo sail. After a short intro with Ashley, I sail with a symmetrical spinnaker without a spinnaker pole (or whisker pole). I reminisce about flying a kite as a young kid and the similarities to sailing. Some thunderstorm clouds begin to roll in, so I call it a day.
This Amaz...

EPISODE 23
We are both so upset by all our footage from the crossing. Firstly, I (Dave) lost our vlogging camera and at £500 each they are not cheap. Then, I (Dave) fitted the muff to get rid of wind noise and it gets rid of all noise! Ouch! You can imagine that I (Dave) have been in the dog hous...

The fishing gods are still with us as we hook another couple of Mahi Mahi. At last we manage to fly the gennaker without any issues but I’m not sure if we were doing the right thing or if we just got lucky but I’ll take it none the less.
We stop off for a few beers in Porto Banus but a...

A gennaker is used when sailing downwind as it's a cross between a genoa and a spinnaker (big colored sails). A gennaker is not symmetric like a spinnaker but is asymmetric like a genoa, but the gennaker is not attached to the forestay like a jib or genoa. The gennaker is rigged like a spinnake...
