Forget the measly crocus and robin. My harbinger of spring is when the water comes on once again at the dockside spigot.
Nearly every offshore passage involves some sort of fix-it work, and this one aboard a new Nautitech 542 catamaran was no different.
The flagship of Bavaria’s Cruiser line is as comfortable as it is enjoyable to sail.
There may be a lot of storage space surrounding your bow thruster, but beware! In keeping with my theme as promised last week, we are still considering and looking at spring “make ready” issues. In the case above a reader has recently discovered that under the v-berth in his forward cabin is a cavernous space surrounding his bow thruster that he can use for additional storage for things that aren’t used on a daily basis. He’s certainly right about that, but beware, potential horrors are …

The whole getting the boat ready thing has very different meaning to a lot of people. To one friend of mine Spring get ready means getting into every nook and cranny on the boat with a tooth brush to clean. To others it means pulling the cover off, slopping some anti-fouling bottom paint on and getting it launched. For me, it means a careful inspection of all systems to make …
The founder of Chesapeake Regional Accessible Boating, which brought sailing to the disabled, dies at 77.
Brass Shaft Brush Connected to Metal Hull Does this Really Work? We received a good query from reader Gerry this week that is worth sharing a bit of discussion on. The photo he sent in is on his aluminum hulled sailboat. What you see in the photo is a flat brass bar that someone applied some solder to (the grey stuff at the end and rubbing against the prop shaft).
