Sailing Lifestyle Experiences
Anchoring is easy once you know how to do it. You Anchoring is easy once you know how to do it. You find a spot that looks like good holding, drop the anchor while slowly backing the boat up (so the chain leads out rather than falling into a big clump). Once all the chain is out (5x the depth), you pull back using the engine to set the anchor into the seabed. As long as the anchor is holding while in reverse, you’re good to go! Once the engine is off, jump in water and check out the anchor.  Checkout SailingBritican on YouTube for the full video. #sailing #sailingexperience #sailingexperiences
🌊There are a variety of issues that can happen 🌊There are a variety of issues that can happen when you’re boating. This is not to deter or scare you from the amazing lifestyle. Living and sailing our boat has been the most rewarding and fulfilling thing I’ve ever done. It becomes even more enjoyable when you know the risks and HOW to deal with them.

Some of the main boat-specific safety issues include:

🔵loss of engine,
🔵taking on water,
🔵can’t get the sails down/in,
🔵collision,
🔵running aground,
🔵man overboard,
🔵abandoning ship,
🔵and fire.

There are set procedures you can create to deal with each of these issues. For man overboard, there is the figure-of-eight or heave-to procedure. For running aground, there are a handful of things you can do to get floating again. If there is a fire in the engine there is one procedure and another for the galley.

Having all your equipment listed and explained, in addition to how it works within a procedure, is a winning formula for dealing with boat safety issues.

🌊The only 5-masted tall ship sunk because of it 🌊The only 5-masted tall ship sunk because of its speed

In 1902, the first-ever full-rigged five masters were built: the Preußen. It was the only 5-masted full-rigged ship ever built, until the Swedish sail cruise liner Royal Clipper was launched in 2000.

(To be clear: there were other five masters, but none of them was a tall ship.)

It sailed between Germany and Chile and was capable of transporting large amounts of goods at high speeds. Its hull length was 433' (132 m). She carried 47 sails (which is a lot).

In 1910, just 8 years after her launch, she sank into the English Channel due to damage from a collision with a small cross-channel steamer, 'Brighton'. The Brighton underestimated Preußens speed, at 16 knots.

Legend has it the skipper said: "a sailboat can't go that fast" - after which the two collided.

Many new sailing cruisers make a huge mess out of Many new sailing cruisers make a huge mess out of mooring balls. The reason?!?! Many sailing schools don’t teach them! The best advice I can give you is to go out with an experienced sailing cruiser and practice tying onto them for a few hours. With just a bit of practice you’ll see how easy they are and will avoid the embarrassment that novice sailors feel. Make sure to watch our full video to see what other skills new sailing cruisers need to know. Check out SailingBritican on YouTube. #sailingexperience #sailingexperiences #learntosail

⛵Our Sail Bermuda guide will demonstrate how we ⛵Our Sail Bermuda guide will demonstrate how we prepared our sailboat for a long journey, what the five-day passage was like, what life is like when you finally reach a destination, tours of St George’s and Hamilton in addition to special activities to do while in Bermuda. The real corker, however, was our trip back from Bermuda to North Carolina. It was bad. Very bad. Perhaps it’s worth you watching our video so you know just how bad it can get so you make sure to pick a good weather window!

🔵Get a feel for sailing to Bermuda before you go there yourself.

Within each of our Sailing Guide areas on the website, we provide information that will give you a feel for our passage to and throughout the area. The information includes our passage plan and route, a diary-style article about what we got up to and videos showcasing the surrounding area, and/or some sort of extra about how to be a bluewater cruiser.

🔵In this series, you’ll start off with learning about how to prepare the boat for a long passage and you’ll end with what it’s like to sail the Atlantic Ocean in heavy seas.

🔵Each article and post has been created so that you can get an idea as to the various areas, what some of the highlights are, whether we think they’re a hit or miss, and some of the difficulties we ran into. Our hope is that these sailing destination series will prepare you a bit more for not only the sailing cruiser life but show you want to expect before you arrive.

Since 2015 we’ve taken volunteer crew for as short as a few weeks and as long as several months.

🔵Our volunteer crew learns all about the sailing lifestyle in return for offering their time, energy, and any special skills. We’ve had electricians, carpenters, plumbers, and even a birdcall expert! In some cases, our crew doesn’t have any specialty but is up for cleaning, cooking, boat jobs, and helping with our Britican Experience guests.

🔵Our latest crew member, Enrique, offered to swap his specialty skill of videography for an in-depth look at the life of a sailing cruiser. Watch the video now to find out more about him and what he’s interested in learning.

One of the most time consuming tasks as a sailing One of the most time consuming tasks as a sailing cruiser is grocery shopping. First we have to get to a store (walk or take a bus) and then we have to get all the food, beverages, supplies on to the dinghy, then on to the boat, and then put away. It’s an all day event! We do this ever two weeks. #sailinglife #sailing_feature #sailinglifestyle

🌊Sailboats can sail faster than the speed of th 🌊Sailboats can sail faster than the speed of the wind

Most boats can't go faster than the speed of the wind. But some racing yachts and most multihulls can. The reason is two-fold.

The reason it's possible is that boats generate their own wind, allowing them to 'surf their own wave' so to speak, increasing their speed.

Secondly, keelboats have a displacement hull: they push the water forward, which means they have to deal with resistance, and this resistance increases when the speed increases.

But this isn't a problem with the rise of multihulls. Multihulls use flat beds instead of a keel, which means the hulls are floating on top of the water’s surface. This allows them to go much faster since they don't have to deal with water resistance.

⛵One of the biggest questions we get asked is, ‘How do I get sailing experience?’ Aside from joining a sailing club, offering to crew for boat owners, or chartering a vacation boat for a week, you can join Simon on Britican.

🌊Why Britican? With Simon, you can learn not just to sail but how to live the sailing lifestyle. The Britican Experience is not a sailing vacation. It’s a fully immersive live-like-a-sailing-cruiser opportunity.

🌊Time to Swap Your Lifestyle?

Swap your current lifestyle for a week and see if the sailing cruiser life is right for you. Steer the boat out of an anchorage or mooring, plan a passage using weather and navigational apps, raise and trim the sails, and helm in open ocean swells. Also, enjoy the perks of being a cruiser – breathtaking views, delicious food, amazing swimming/snorkeling, new friends at every bay, and the ultimate feeling of freedom!

In order to encourage fish to be caught, Scottish fishermen would begin their fishing session by throwing one of the crew members overboard and then hauling him back on 

🌊Bananas

No bananas on board. They were believed to be so unlucky they would cause the ship to be lost. Whole cargoes of bananas were especially frightening for sailors.

🌊No farewell
It was bad luck for seafaring men’s wives to call out to them or wave goodbye once they stepped out the door to leave for a voyage.

This allows me to scrape barnacles off. If you have ablative paint (usually blue in color) you don’t want to scrape the barnacles as it will also remove the paint.
