After a few years of wasting space, we got rid of After a few years of wasting space, we got rid of the generator aboard ROCINANTE. Replaced by a 250ah alternator, a lithium battery bank and a larger solar array. The space we gained is amazing. Perfect for a proper workbench and tool storage.

There’s much debate over which sealant or no seala There’s much debate over which sealant or no sealant. Ours, 11 years later… looking great so far.

Another #MorningMusterPodcast episode packed with Another #MorningMusterPodcast episode packed with useful tips and advice… Thinking about planning a bareboat charter? This episode gives you sharp, practical tips to make your charter more efficient, fun, and far less stressful. Two pro instructors share their insights: when to DIY and when to call the base, what to actually pack (hint: leave the tools at home), and why a recommended skipper can be “the cheapest insurance policy you’ll ever get.” Learn how to present a convincing sailing resume, which certifications matter, and when coastal complexity or local licensing should change your plan. Get concrete advice on: quick troubleshooting vs. hands-off repairs, team-building day-one routines, provisioning surprises and creative onboard cooking, and dialing in your expectations so you sail more and motor less. You’ll hear: “If they’re suggesting a skipper, they’re suggesting it for a reason,” and “Experience is the best teacher, but not always best practice.” From family charters to first-time catamaran trips and picking ideal regions, this is a chartering toolbox for sailors who want smarter, safer, and more relaxing charters.
