Description
Hi, we are Kim and Simon from Sailing Britican. With our daughter, Sienna, we’ve been sailing our 56-foot sailboat around the world, enjoying adventure, freedom, and immense fulfillment.
Throughout the years, we’ve created helpful guides, checklists, and templates to help our fellow cruisers transition to sailing life quicker, easier, and more safely. Simon also offers sailing experiences in the Caribbean for those who want to touch, taste, hear, smell, and see what it’s like to be a full-time liveaboard cruiser.
Since 2014, we’ve helped thousands of couples and families remotely and in person to learn how to make a success out of the sailing lifestyle. We want to provide you with an exceptional offer – the Confident Sailing Cruiser Collection. By getting this collection, you will fast-track your plans to sail off into the sunset, and we guarantee that.
You’re probably overwhelmed by the information, experience, and training you think you need to untie the lines and sail away.
You’re probably thinking that the biggest thing you need to learn is how to sail. Although knowing how to sail is a key component, it is only a small part of the lifestyle. That’s why so many people get it wrong!
Most people spend a lot of money and time taking sailing courses. Although ASA or RYA courses are necessary, when couples and families pursue the dream, they need more information about the larger aspect of the sailing lifestyle.
What took years for us to learn is that you can get it in far less time. Reduce your learning curve now! With our collection, here are just some of the things you’ll gain:
- Get the right cruising sailboat (for you and your plans) to avoid buying a lemon, a money pit, or something that won’t work for what you intend to do.
- Create a budget for the boat’s upgrade cost and a realistic forecast for monthly outgoings, accounting for all the unknown costs no one tells you about.
- Set up your finances to ensure a proper allocation for preparation versus living costs and how to generate passive and active income while sailing so you have enough money to cruise as long as you want.
- Understand what experience is necessary before you head out to sea so you know what you need to know to sail and maintain your boat to the highest and safest level.
- Effectively get your partner (and family, too) to wholeheartedly join you in your pursuit so that it’s a team effort and not one person dragging the other along.
- Build up your confidence in performing the standard tasks (using step-by-step checklists and templates) that almost all new sailors get drastically wrong so that you avoid massive failure at the start.
- Successfully perform the mission-critical joint tasks you and your partner need to know so you know what you’re doing from the start.
- Communicate with your partner effectively so that joint tasks like anchoring, mooring balls, maneuvering in tight places, and passage planning don’t end in arguments.
- Set up all the necessary routines, procedures, and calendars for cleaning, preventative maintenance, and safety/medical equipment so you know what to do and when to do it from day one!
- Determine and allocate all the roles and responsibilities necessary to get the boat in shape, so you and your partner/family know who’s responsible for each task necessary to ensure a well-maintained and safe boat.
- Avoid being suckered into spending your money on unnecessary things! Spend it wisely on the kit you really need to extend your cruising budget.
- Figure out what systems you can work on yourself and what’s best to outsource so you can save time and money.
- Know the systems that break down at sea so you can fix them without calling for help (especially a good thing when there is no help around!).
- Effectively deal with the four big sickness worries that cruisers face, seasickness being a big one, so you don’t have to be confined to bed or hospital unnecessarily.
- Fit in as a sailing cruiser from day one to avoid embarrassing situations. Yes – sailing cruisers, like any community, have certain do’s and don’ts.
- Use the VHF radio to call marinas and other boats and send standard safety messages so you don’t look like a novice. Note: Never say ‘Over and out!’ If you do, you must buy a beer round for everyone at the bar.
- Make passage plans using modern technology so you don’t have to rely on antiquated paper charts and sailing school methods that are outdated.
- Set your expectations realistically so you, or your partner, are not disappointed.
- Have a step-by-step list of how to prepare your boat for a storm in a marina or at an anchorage so you decrease your chances of damage or loss.

Dominic Liddell –
I have been trying to create the ultimate electronic checklist for my boat and found that my thought process would dry up or jump around to the extent that there was a lot of thinking and not a lot of writing. I have bought the whole set of checklists and cruising guides on special and they are a great read they offer insights into the reasons for the checklist and the items on it. I can now start to order them the way I want knowing that the process has been fully researched by Kim and Simon. Great job!
K. Simons –
Kim, I purchased your special offer on all the guides and have to say that I am overwhelmed (in a positive way) by the amount of time you’ve saved me. I’ve tried, on several occasions, to create a variety of checklists and in the end, I gave up. Furthermore, I’m so impressed with the guide on generating an income while sailing – I discovered some incredible ideas. Your hurricane checklist is amazing. Every guide has so many things of value. I’ve told all my sailing friends to get your collection. It’s an outstanding offer. Thank you.
T. Harrison –
I cannot thank you and Simon for all that you do for the sailing community. We love your videos and thanks to your guide collection we are quickly getting up to speed with everything that we need to know. The checklists and templates are excellent – while customizing them to our boat we’re learning so much that we didn’t know. We honestly don’t know where we’d be if we didn’t have all your materials.

Hugely helpful to have all this really practical detail and checklists. They are extremely well done. It will save us a huge amount of time as we plan for our own cruising journey. Many thanks

We have had a lot of time to absorb all the info included with your bargain offer. We have looked at other offers and even invested in some and none have what is included with your offer. Very easy to follow down to our newbie level of experience level while being very informative. No, well if want more info invest more here… Has saved us a lot of time. Oh, and it’s kept my frustration levels down too. Tell Simon to get up get busy!!

Why we don’t all use more checklists on a yacht is a mystery. Pilots use them all the time, right?! Thank you Kim and Simon for these comprehensive checklists. They take a lot of the thinking (saving loads of time) out of doing important things onboard, preparing or maintaining in general. They are very logical and easy to use. I look forward to customising the checklists and making more time to enjoy my time on the water!

From the start of our sailing education we knew checklists were going to be something we would come up with. We’re thrilled to have found these templates to get us there! Thanks Simon and Kim for the things we probably wouldn’t have thought of even after years of cruising. The collection is a great way of getting it al for a great price. Thanks again!
