This US navy training film shows three ways to achieve this technique.
My wife says some of the old trousers I wear sailing have reached their use by date and are not suitable for this purpose I have promised to do annual testing.

As I’ve mentioned before I’ve had several brands of knockoff coremantle rope out in the elements on the mooring and it is ok for non critical use. Check prices against the green shed to see i...

Re: Electric yachts - the future?
In keeping with the electric power possibilities for boats you have to follow the market trends so I think this article translates ultimately to boats as well.

Re: Merry Xmas 2023
We had some nice days on the boat over the break while daughter mk2 was home from UK . Seeing more and more of these hand held foils on the Lake now . The thing that is amazing from a straight physics of sailing thing, to me anyway, is how little wind there was, as you can see by the water surface o...
