Just some charters

Just another blast around some of our fav spots

An awesome week out with a family getting them through their American Sailing certifications. Perfect weather and new captains certified. Happy days!

Super fun day out with a couple of short races around the cans for the first annual Cruisers Regatta! ⛵️💨 We got line honors in both races and had a blast sailing with friends. Thanks to all those that helped organize the regatta! Note - Not sure why the avg speed is so low 🤷‍♂️

A slow and bumpy trip up from Turks & Caicos but WE MADE IT - and damn does it feel good. This culminates my first Atlantic crossing as skipper from the Outremer factory in La Grande Motte, France at the start of November, to here in the Abaco Islands via Gibraltar, Lagos, Las Palmas, St Lucia, Antigua, St Martin, Saba, the BVI and T&C’s with 6,110.6 nautical miles of fun on the water. I am very tired but very happy ❤️⛵️

Super fun trip! Visited some epic places, including SABA - one of our favorite places in the world that is really tricky to get to! We had some great sailing in really dreamy conditions and now exploring somewhere new in Turks & Caicos. One crew member, Brian, is flying home from here and we’ll be blasting up to the Abacos ASAP!

Too many bloody squalls and a bit of a sloppy sea state at first but all good! Ahead of schedule 🫡

Dreamy sail from St Lucia to Antigua - just in time for Christmas and New Years!

Under a thousand miles to go, the sargasso seaweed is filling in and we can almost taste the beer (and rum) in St Lucia! We broke the cable on our gennaker but one of the crew brought his parasail, it’s working nicely!

The wind has filled in but brought a crappy sea state for now, hoping it sorts itself out soon. Some great sailing up until now though with dreamy gennaker days. Now we’re down to 2nd reef and full jib, bouncing around. Still some good speeds, 19.2 the top so far!

We made it! The wind was a bit light in the beginning and then built to a sloppy sea state for the rest of the trip but we still had a blast. The boat performed well and the crew was amazing. We were last minute entrants to the ARC but it was a cool addition to the trip - the social atmosphere was nice. Now I’m happy to be enjoying some time in St Lucia now before heading up to the Abaco Islands again for the season.

Light winds had us just chugging along, looking for wind. Forecast looks much better from here so hopefully the average speed can come up! Happy thanksgiving y’all!

We were delayed leaving Lagos, where we took cover from a strong low pressure system, and ended up having a pretty dreamy sail down to Las Palmas. Some light winds and messy seas in the beginning sorted themselves out and finished with an epic power reach with the North Code 55. Some spicy weather caught us on the last night but we made it in one piece! Happy days :)

Big low coming, pit stop to wait it out. Nice place!

Incredible trip with an incredible crew. Mix of light and perfect winds, 1 fish, top speed of 18.2 knots at 1am coming into Gibraltar. Falmari was screaming along so smooth. Happy days! Next stop Canaries then Atlantic.

I forgot to start recording at the start of the week but caught a fun sail back towards Corfu on the last day. Such a beautiful part of Greece!

Our first trip out of France on the new Outremer! Some fun sailing, some testing and troubleshooting before some big sails coming up in the coming months. Such a fun boat to sail! The highlight was when we had an upwind slog from Blanes, north of Barcelona, to Mallorca which we absolutely smashed at 8.5-11 knots, dead on course on a close reach. Mallorca is beautiful and I’m looking forward to exploring more in the future!

A weeks trip around some of my favourite spots in the Saronic. Returning guests celebrating a 40th birthday. I love Greece!!

We had a blast on our second Croatian flotilla exploring the islands of Northern Dalmatia. The Kornati National Park and Telašćica National Park are full of stunning landscapes, we can’t wait to go back! Some of the group checked out the beautiful waterfalls of Krka National Park on the last day too. All in all, we had an amazing week on the water and can’t wait for our next flotilla in Greece in September! We love bringing together people from around the world to share the joy of sailing 🫶⛵️🇭🇷

Volvo 65, ‘Sisi’, from Austrian Ocean Racing, delivery. Sadly upwind the whoooole way so no 30kt top speeds. We beat the whole way up the Adriatic, which made this beer definitely taste all the better. The final night we had to punch through a wild storm front, reefing in 45 knots. All good in the end with some small damage. Super happy we didn’t get struck by lightning, one of the wildest light shows I have ever seen. Looking forward to a downwind/reaching send on this boat one day in the future!

Uff another tough Aegean 600. Onboard an Outremer 4X catamaran, we abandoned the race with almost half the fleet after running out of wind too many times and not being able to finish within the cut off time. Racing in the Mediterranean is super difficult, with 45 knots straight into zero knots… maddening. We’re just happy to make it back safe and sound after a fatality during the race. Much respect to everyone who made it around, and our thoughts go out to the sailor who didn’t make it.

Classic Med, no wind or it was on the nose ha

Sick trip! Heaps of light winds but pretty favorable in general, and some sick sends. 24.2 top speed and hours spent 17-22kts on a beam reach. Ready to get back on performance/cruising cats though, I need some comfort in my life. Using a real head rather than hanging my butt over the side at 16kts will be a real treat!

Light winds of around 10kts for the first half of the trip have kept the average speed down, but now with wind building we’ll see how we go! Anyone got a place for a couple of salty sailors to stay in Charleston for a couple of nights from the 17th?

Suffered in a few wind shadows but an awesome trip! Saw 19.4kts top speed ⛵️💨

A lovely group from Alaska coming for their first sailing experience, doing their ASA 101 beginner sailing course, and having a blast!

Finally back in the Abacos!
