How to Use Sailing Winches

The mighty deck winch is an underrated tool. Here’s how to use sailing winches as safely and efficiently as possible.

Passage to Provincetown

The Zartman family aboard Ganymede ends their yearlong stay in Newport, Rhode Island, and is cruising once again.

On Passagemaking, Luck and What We Did Right

We did a lot right during this passage; some of it intentional, some of it serendipitous… but here is what we learned and tips I can share based on our experience venturing offshore and covering 800 miles over the course of five days, non-stop.

Ready or Not?

“Ready to go yet?” I heard the question over and over today. Fair enough—we’ve been ‘getting ready to cruise’ ever since leaving the boatyard several blog posts ago, and have Tuesday as our target sailing date.

Off We Go!

We’re excited, nervous, giddy, and grateful. We have an excellent vessel, a fantastic crew, and a heck of a ride ahead.

Extending Your Range

Join the National Women’s Sailing Association at the 12th annual conference, June 1, in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Meet and share with other women who love sailing and want to challenge themselves by trying something new.

Go Beyond the Basics

Resources abound for sailors interested in prepping for offshore, with many schools offering packages under way and custom-tailored by instructors whose skill levels and ongoing experience influence the curricula they offer.
