    The Ocean Race Leg 5: Newport RI to Aarhus DK

    My point was I was kidding. I understood you were talking about Malizia. I rooted for Malizia in this race. Their social media approach is tedious. But Boris has proven himself a talented leader and he has an admirable leadership demeanor. He made a number of mistakes in this race and I did not...

    The Ocean Race Leg 5: Newport RI to Aarhus DK

    How wrong you are! Europe LOVES to see Americans win. Especially arrogant ones like Charlie E. They root for us!

    It is an interesting concept that in practice is too long, too risky, too slow and should be retired. It is not where sailboat racing is today. I am blown away by the fortitude of these sailors but when I said “please just end” I meant both that I wish this race would conclude and also that this...

    Old men sailing oceans

    I bought my first boat from a guy who was 84. He was a retired janitor that spent his pension on a sailboat and sailed solo around the northeast for years. When he got lost and had to have Seatow bring him home he sold the boat to me. He kept showing up at the boat randomly for about a year...

    Gutted Hull to Offshore Boat: What it Takes

    My instinct was to give you a hard time for being a new member hawking a YT channel, not showing any tits first etc. But gotta say the boat walkthrough is worth the price of entry. Kudos. You sure are rocking it old school. Well done.

    Should I Buy a Beneteau Oceanis 38.1?

    Yeah I keep my mouth shut about my 35’ Beneteau in these conversations. But… when I brought it into our Maine boatyard I got some looks and comments from the crusty old men. But the top service guy there has gotten to know it well the last few years. Told me the other day, “this boat is just...

    Huh. So I bailed for nothing. Don’t joke about boat babies.

    As long as we’re still getting videos… proof of life. Say a little prayer to Odin and the gods of Asgard on his behalf now and then.

    I agree he takes way too much risk. But I never have to watch 20 minutes of him changing an oil filter or painting anything..

    They are legit. There is something about his way of speaking that irks me when the arrogance ramps up but I always come back because they actually sail places and she is great. I bailed when they announced the baby. I can’t watch boat babies. I‘ll come back when the kid can do algebra. I...

    Yes but few today do it with no satphone and in wool coats and leather boots.

    New from Hydrovane: the Boob-o-Vane! As seen on BoobTube. Now you too can steer with your boobs. It’s not just an autopilot. It’s an autoerotic pilot! Experience for yourself the REAL benefits of hands-free. When things go tits up out on the water and you’re caught holding your dick, you’ll wish...

    The Ocean Race 2023 leg 3: Capetown to Itajaí, Brazil

    She just. would. not. stop. talking. In my amateur ”average sailor“ opinion, the IMOCA class in its current foiling iteration needs to go. It is reaching the point where the races are not enjoyable to follow as the boats and people get battered, though I watch anyway. I want to watch great...

    Banque Populaire dropping ClaCla

    Reserving places for women would be bad. One of the great things about how this event was going was it was competition between men and women on an even playing field. Not like the OR where they are forced to have a woman, or the AC where women will race on a separate little girls and kids boat...

    Marie Taberly is dead wrong here. Sailing expertise and potential are critical. But let’s be realistic and admit that social media expertise is also critical now. It is a basic business skill if you want to be a top level offshore sailor. Alex Thompson had it. So does Boris Hermann. So does...
