Learning to sail and undertaking quality sailing training are so important. I think that a sailor never stops learning. Here you’ll find details of some of the sailing training I’ve undertaken, as well as my stories as an RYA Cruising Instructor and Offshore Yachtmaster. Wherever you are on your ‘learning to sail’ journey, you’ll find lots of hints and tips here
I delayed boat winterisation as long as possible so that I could really rinse the end of the boating season out. I have been a bit slack at checking up on Scally Wag my Princess Pilgrim motor cruiser, so after some seriously heavy rain and high wind I popped to the marina to check everything was OK. It wasn’t…
So, for anyone that missed the 1st 17/18 Clipper Race Mass Crew Briefing here is a little low down for you.
The briefing was held at the Royal Thames Yacht Club in January, and is an annual Clipper event. There were about 150 leggers and RTW-ers there and lots of the Clipper family and sponsors alike.
One of my lovely Clipper training crew mates (@CHarrisTweeting) recently completed his level 2 Clipper Race training and kindly shared an update with permission to re-post. Chris is going to be joining the 15/16 race which is currently off the coast of Australia. He is doing leg 5, racing from Australia to Qingdao, and will be onboard the Da Nang Vietnam boat.
