Sarah & Will's Seminars
The South Pacific ‘Coconut’ Milk Run
At various shows: Toronto, Seattle, Richmond
The dream of sailing to the South Pacific is a powerful one… This is our story of how we made our dream a reality: One year to buy and prepare our boat, SV Hydroquest, a Beneteau First 405, for offshore, and one year to sail her across the Pacific Ocean.
Our route is one you may be planning to follow: the South Pacific ‘Coconut’ Milk Run, sailing westward with the tradewinds. We’ll take you through our adventure with photos, video, and stories that range from embarrassing to inspiring! Along the way we’ll answer questions such as: What’s it really like to be at sea for nineteen days (our longest leg)? How difficult is navigating atoll passes in the Tuamotus (Dangerous Archipelago)? What happens when you sail into a bank of lightning? And… Is two years enough time?
Windvane Self-Steering: Your Best Crew Member
At various shows: Toronto, Seattle, Richmond
How about a crew member who spends endless hours on the wheel, doesn’t eat or sleep, and never complains? A self steering system can steer your boat for short distances or ocean crossings with absolutely no fuel consumption. Will provides an overview of the different systems, how they work and what they can do for you. Sarah provides the woman’s viewpoint – insight on offshore cruising and how important self steering can be. Together they provide a fun presentation filled with stories, some laughs and thoughts on the serious business of sea passages.
