Part 2 of what has become a 3-part series called “Outfitting a Small Cruiser for Voyaging,” is ready for you to view on a special page
created just for our blog readers by the Maine-based maritime film documentary
group called Off Center Harbor. They’ve been wonderful (and at times hilarious)
to work with, and we highly recommend joining, for access to more than a
hundred videos on subjects ranging from boat building to sail repair to
cruising under sail to tours and histories of beautiful and fascinating classic yachts and work boats, and more. They’re cranking out
several new videos each month, so there's lots of variety.
For more information on outfitting a small boat for extended cruising, this 3-part series can be augmented by viewing our side page called "Fiddly Bits."
So go have a look at Part 2 and sign up on that page for 10 more free
videos that include Part 1, if you missed it. Part 2 will be replaced by Part 3
on the special page in a few weeks, and we’ll let you know when it’s ready for
viewing.
Meanwhile, for our sailing friends in the sunny, summery Southern Hemisphere, here is the Next Big Thing. You heard it here first.
Great video and very instructive. I love your use of lashings throughout.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lot easier and stronger in many cases than using manufactured fittings. Brion Toss' The Rigger's Apprentice is a great reference for lashings.
DeleteAs for anchors I have a 33lbs SPADE anchor and I highly recommend it!
