Looking to Crew

I am currently taking my Day Skipper theory, soon to be followed by the practical element too. I don't have much practical experience with sail, as we always had power when I was growing up. I'm looking for the opportunity to join a crew near the Poole/Bournemouth area for evenings / weekend sailing, to gain some valuable experience and enjoy some water time!

If anyone has a boat, or knows anyone that is looking for additional crew, I'm 28, fit and healthy, jolly nice chap, and pick things up r… Continue

Lexan windows

Hey,

We're in the process of changing the lexan windows on our boat. Probably doesn't warrant a blog, but I feel the need to vent, since, like every other chore on a boat, this one's taking five times longer and is way harder than planned. First we made templates out of bristol board, took them to the Plastic Shop, and they did a great job of cutting new ones. The old ones, which we also put in ourselves twelve years ago, have become too milky to see through. They were laid onto a thick layer o… Continue

"Boatiest" Colleges in America

Hey Gang,

BoatU.S. did a round up of colleges that offer programs that can lead to a career on or around the water. It's unique as far as I know. If you've got high schoolers who are thinking about their future and whether or not boats should be a part of it, they should check it out. Here's the link.

Rainy June Ramblings & Oday Rigging.

Summer Solstice is upon us and I only wish the rain would STOP. ~ Here on the Mid-Atlantic coast, the last best sailing day was a week ago and that was only a 4 hour window. Since then we've had one thunderstorm after another, HAIL and no wind. Now we just have rain. It's been raining steady since yesterday afternoon.

Daysailor 17' Trailer quest ~ Meanwhile, I've had no luck finding an inexpensive trailer for my Daysailer so I've decided to leave her on the hard for the time being.
I have a sho… Continue
