Tag 60
Brace yourself! The multi-hulls are taking over. I had to steal this one from sailinganarchy.com. What a good find. I may have mentioned this before, but other than the ridiculously hi speed, crashing, flipping AC cats and maybe the Extreme 40’s (because they’re just fun to watch), I typically have an aversion towards multi-hulls. This…

Views From Aloft
Well it has certainly been a while, but today’s excellent weather prompted another segment of “Views From Aloft”. This being the first climb of the year, all things considered, went pretty well. Sean and I argued a bit about who would get to ‘go up’ and how it just isn’t safe to send someone my size up…

Nordkapp To Stockholm…..
…… in an inflatable 13′ catamaran. That all adds up to approx. 1350 NM and 45 days. I like that every day he ends with setting up camp and sleeping ashore. This might be the only way I could be talked into this…………on second thought, no, I could never be talked into this. Check out…

Antarctica is Beautiful
I found this on YouTube and found it quite relaxing…….even the cheesy elevator music. This is a beautiful boat and a beautiful sailing destination. Although this isn’t the typical warm tropical paradise it is definitely on my list of places to visit. Enjoy. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WliDLjg5CDg&w=560&h=315]

Something of a Different Flavor
We don’t usually post about something like wake-skating as it is not really sailing related. Being that this sport gets very little publicity, I figured I’d share. I mean, it is a water sport after all and a pretty impressive one at that. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKfNf1azEm0&w=560&h=315] Wake skating should win some sort of award as being the most…

Clipper Around the World Race
It’s a Volvo Ocean Race for amateurs. Anyone can compete. You can race the whole way-round or just do a leg or two……or three, pretty cool. The new boats (the 70 foot version) for the following years race are arriving as I type.
