My Catamaran Broke Apart 100 Miles From Hawaii
About 100 miles off Kona, pounding waves broke my catamaran’s rear main beam, leaving the starboard hull hanging from the deck. Keeping the boat together meant repeated trips into the black water beneath it, using rope and winches to lash a broken home back together. Full Catamaran Video: Excerpt...

Ep 187 Boats of the Rich and Famous
We travel halfway around the island of Antigua, part of the Leeward Islands/Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean, to be there in Falmouth Harbour for the start of the RORC 600 sailboat race. As it turned out, this was also ground zero for more expensive boats and yachts than we could shake a stick at. I...
Why Is the Rudder in Front of the Propeller?
Moving the engines aft creates more interior space, but it also places the rudders ahead of the propellers. I would test low-speed maneuvering on each engine separately because two engines are not true redundancy if one failure leaves the boat circling. Full Stream: 📗 Get My Book:
When Grenada Stopped Being Safe
For decades, cruisers gathered in Grenada because it sat just below the hurricane box that shaped many marine insurance policies. In July 2024, Hurricane Beryl flattened Carriacou and turned Tyrell Bay into a boat graveyard, shattering the industry's faith in that safe zone. Full Video: 📗 Ge...

Can a Wave Snap a Ship in Half?
A ship's hull behaves like one enormous beam, bending through hogging and sagging as wave crests and troughs support different sections. Push that steel beyond what it can bear and the hull can fracture, a failure that overwhelmingly strikes long, heavily loaded tankers and freighters. Full Vi...
The 282-Foot Yacht With an Incredible Past
Finished in an Italian warship yard in 1927, this 282-foot yacht began as "Flying Cloud". She then passed from an English duke, to a Guinness heir, and Aristotle Onassis before Windjammer finally made her its flagship in 1969. Full Video: 📗 Get My Book:
The Hurricane You Cannot Dodge
A hurricane does not steer itself; larger wind patterns high above it, called steering currents, carry it like a cork in a river. When those currents weaken, the storm can stall or wander, making its path dangerously unpredictable. Full Video: 📗 Get My Book:

But sometimes the smartest decision you can make while cruising is deciding not to go. With 25–3...
The Window Design That Made These Boats Leak
Cooper sailboats can be good performers, but their large acrylic windows were not always engineered with enough frame overlap. Once the adhesive begins to fail, water can quickly enter the boat and damage the surrounding interior. It does not necessarily make the boat a bad purchase, but it creates ...
