Unfortunately a lot of the film we took on our summer cruise this year has become corrupted... so while I sort out what we have left this is a short film of how it all began. The short trip down our river to Queenborough were we pick up a buoy ready for an...
As it turned out there was just enough, and we had a very pleasant sail with 3 generations of our family on board.

This is the final event in the 5 race 2017 series for short handed sailing at Medway Yacht club.
I go into it laying second overall in the championship (first single hander) so there is all to play for.

A couple of years ago I a dragged a buddy of mine out of sailing retirement and back into sailing dinghy's.
Since then he has been nagging me about just how much fun the 49er is and to prove his point, he bought a cheap boat at the end of last year. So we...
So following the successful upgrading of the Zeus software last time out, this time we try and upgrade one of the other devises in our network using the Zeus. And its amazingly simple as you will see...

One of our viewers watched our film on installing the WiFi system into a B&G network and suggested we take a look at the software upgrade that was available for it.
Well a cursory read of the B&G blurb suggested that it might be worth doing so we g...
This is pretty much just what the title says its going to be except that its more than just replacing the valve, its cutting a hole in the boat as well!

The 4th race in the series and it doesn't all go to plan
This is one of those films that we think... we really shouldn't show every one... but here goes.
As it happens it was a lovely day for a sail, and Ian eventually finish second on handicap so it was ...
I thought I would show you all my Laser Vortex, that few people out side the UK dinghy racing scene have probably heard of.
If you want to know more just Google it but they are pretty unusual and great fun to sail. Not everyone's cup of tea but you will be...
Medway yacht club are running a series of 5 races this year just for short handed sailors. They are trying to encourage the boats that use the excuse 'cant find enough crew' to take part.
The first couple of races had loads for interest but for some reas...
This is an annual event that is hosted by our yacht club, and that we try to support each year.
And although its essentially about racing that doesn't tell the whole story. There are plenty of other activities to keep people interested and if you fancy h...
If you have been following our channel you will know that we like to go racing sometimes, and sea Horse has proven to be a great race boat for our River.
In a couple of weeks we will once again head off for a cruise up the east coast of England and we kn...
Ok so its not as bad as it sounds but every year our yacht club has a fun race down our river, the Medway, out into the Thames and around the wreck of the SS Richard Montgomery.
This was a second world war supply ship that sank just at the entrance to bo...
Our first film on sailing single handed was so well received that we thought we would do another. This week its how we fly a spinnaker single handed.
Please note this is just the way we do it, if you have any comments or observations please feel free to l...
Thames barges have been sailing and working on the east coast of England for over 200 year. And for well over 100 years they have also been racing them and this weekend we show you the start of the 2017 edition of this fantastic event.

Jack Holt was responsible for so many of the iconic dinghy designs of the 50's, 60's and 70's but not many people have ever heard of his Bumblebee design.
Aimed at children yet big enough for mum and dad to get into as well, they make a great introductio...
Our last two films had a a lot of people interested in how we get the shots from behind of our boat sailing.
Well we dont get to go sailing this week so we have made a short film showing you how we do it. Hope this helps, let us know what you think.

So now that Sea Horse is back in the water we can start using her again, and this week its the first race in the Medway YC racing season.
Now racing may not be for everyone but it provides a great excuse to go for a sail. Take today for example, a cruisi...
So after all the hard work we finally get Sea Horse back in the water and take some time out to run through the things that we have done this winter.
