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...
We JUST BLOODY WENT FOR IT... Drove to Florida, slept on the beach, and bought our first sailboat.
2 years of hard work, saving & sacrificing brought us here, but where will it lead?

So its day to of our journey, bringing Sea Horse back from the Solent to the river Medway.
Today, because we didn't want another day like yesterday, and because the weather was getting worse not better, we make the short hop along the coast to Newhaven, were we will leave Sea Horse for a few d...
So we all drive down to Lymington with our friend Tony on the Friday evening before the bank holiday weekend.
Saturday morning we all get up early, Tony and Ian so that they can catch the best of the tides and begin the process of bringing SeaHorse, our new Hanse 291, back home. Hannah and Izzy s...
Not only do we buy her but we spend the night on board.
Then the next morning we have to reverse out of the marina, not
always easy on a sail boat you haven't sailed before, and hoist the sails for the first time.
It was all actually pretty uneventful and although the weather was miserable ...
So Rowena has finally got wet. We launched her last Friday and have just come back from a great weekend of sailing and family time.
This year our first night at anchor was done the easy way.... lying on some one else's (Granddads) anchor. After all it was Nannys birthday and Granddad has a pus...
In this video I explain our rig, demonstrate how we get our sails out, the way in which we reduce our sails in rough weather – otherwise called ‘reefing our sails,’ and I also contrast our rig to other configurations most popular with cruisers.
Please give us a thumbs up and subscribe to our chann...
Ok ok so we still haven't got her wet but we are a big step closer.
This week Rowena finally leaves the side of the house, gets towed to the club and the mast goes up. Plus we do all that other stuff that has to be done in order that we can go sailing... next week!

NOW SOLD THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INTEREST.
I quick walk around of Rowena our 20ft red Fox trailer sailor that we are offering for sale.
To find out more, and for a full inventory, take a look at our advert on Apollo Duck
She is being offered for sale at a very competitive £7995 or if you offer ...
We dont bore you with hours of film of Ian laying on his back sanding the hull, or rolling on paint, or polishing and buffing her top sides, but after weeks of avoiding the work we have finally gone and done something and we thought we should tell you about it.
And the results aren't bad, see...
This week we take some time out of our busy schedule (ha ha) to have a look at some other boats.
Clarke and Carter had a second hand boat show at Gillingham marina and we took a look at a few boats. Notably a Moody 28 that would make a perfect family cruiser for our little family and a GibSea 414, ...
Pretty much just what the title says it is.
Its not our idea, we have just copied it from others but its a really cheap and simple way of covering your windows that requires no holes to be drilled or fixings of any kind to be installed.
The bulk of this video is about how we had the gooseneck repaired on our sailboat. The gooseneck is the section of the boat that connects the boom to the mast. After doing our rigging checks we noticed that two bolts sheered off from the plates holding the gooseneck on. Later we discovered that the ...
We have finally uncovered Rowena but apart from sorting out the wash boards haven't really done much else.
But at least we can get to the boat now to make a start and it shouldn't take to long.

This is just a short clip to update you on what we have, or more particularly, haven't been doing on Rowena.
We also take you to Medway yacht club and catch up with Granddad and his Victoria 34
We are forced to trade in our old outboard engine for a new used one, and we answer that age-old question, how do you raise the mast on a small C&C 24 sailboat? Also, we give you a tour of Maiweh's electronics, and reassemble the rigging to be able to take advantage of her sail power too!

Following on from his last walk through of Blaze 807, a mk3a Ian thought he would do the same thing with the boat that he replaced it with.
Its pretty much like every other mk2 Blaze but with a few subtle differences to suit his weight and style of sailing.
Please let us know what you think, or th...
As the title suggests, in this film we talk about the cameras that we use to make our films, the new external micraphone, a Pro SGC-598 Video Shotgun Mic... and a little about the software that we process it all with, Adobe Premiere
I short video describing one of our main food sources on our journey. Sprouts are the perfect food for any sea voyager. They contain higher vitamin and mineral contents than any other food source available at sea. They are easy to grow, store well, and are easy to transport. If you have any question...
We had a great first year with Rowena and this film is just a summary of some of the great times that we had.
From buying her at the end of 2014, stripping her out and then refitting her with all new electronics and sails .
Learning to live with her and sail her and of course we had some great adve...
