| 12/19/24 | ![]() 124 | Advanced Seamanship Notes | Capt. Illingworth | Heavy Weather | This episode we learn key elements the skipper of a vessel in heavy weather should keep in mind, to keep his vessel sound & her crew safe. Capt. Illingworth was a submarine commander in WWII as well as a racing skipper, and therefore had a better measure than most as to the thoughts uppermost in a skipper’s mind in heavy conditions. I hope my communication of his ideas into this new medium does not distract too much from his message.

There he met a new crew. After sail repairs, provisioning and safety training, they set sail for St. John’s, Newfoundland; 1700Nm away. It was September and heavy weather was expected. What we got was a ’Super Storm’.

One of the most commonly referenced authors from the first half of the 20th century has to be Weston Martyr, and the book everyone compliments is ’The Southseaman’.

| 12/17/24 | ![]() 123 | Advanced Seamanship Notes | Capt. Illingworth | Beating to Windward | I started this series of Advanced Seamanship Notes (Episodes 115-117) to bring to light specific areas of sailing knowledge which are A. difficult to locate in sailing resources on-line or off, and B. provided by a Mariner who is recognizably a ’Master’ - in the true sense of the word. Captain J H Illingworth was considered the ’father of offshore sailing & racing’ in postwar Britain. He started the Junior Offshore Group in the UK, acted as Commodore for the Royal Ocean Racing Club , but also was the instigator of the Sydney to Hobart Race in Australia, in 1945. That alone could be pedigree enough for my purposes- but add to that the fact that he was also a decorated submarine Captain in WWII, and suddenly you may realize, as I did; that what Capt. Illingworth did not know about waves and the upper layers of the ocean and their effect on a sailing boat is little more than chafe on the wind.

This episode gives us the opportunity to discuss things as divergent as structural delamination and emotional overload, excessive crankcase oil pressure and fighting complacency as we get more experienced.

| 11/17/24 | ![]() 118 | Marine Insurance | Who I Use & My Research | Marine insurance is a massive heartache for many sailors who are doing slightly ’non-standard’ things in sailing, whether it is crossing oceans, sailing solo or cruising with your family- often times it is very difficult to get a policy that will cover you. I have faced this problem for years- this episode I discuss who I am now insured with and why and read the answers to questions I submitted to the Chief Operating Officer of my brokerage.

Voss’ book ’Venturesome Voyages’ and if that leaves you feeling a little less than interested, don’t worry, it’s just because you don’t’ know who Capt. Voss is. I’ve got you covered on that too.

| 4/24/24 | ![]() #114 | Questions & Tangents | So, You Bought an Old Race Boat Anyway. | Questions and Tangents #14 and this episode we continue down the rabbit hole regarding buying a used race boat. Recap Last time we discussed this I said, ’Don’t do it - unless you REALLY want/ need to do it.’ But as you did it anyway... (which I knew you would...) This time I’m saying- ’Since you can’t take simple advice-;) here’s 2 further hours of things to bear in mind.’ I guess #3 (Owing a Race Boat Long Term) is coming soon... | 1h 48m 46s | ||||||
| 4/15/24 | ![]() #113 | Safety at Sea | Easy MOB Recovery & Other Fantastic Myths | So, after all your best efforts to prevent a Man Overboard Situation now your crew are in the water, and they are relying solely on you to not only come and find them; but also to do it in heavy seas, high winds and at night. Shit. Let’s explore the options when all hope appears lost, when only brute strength and the spark of ingenuity may be all you have to get the job done. | 1h 16m 53s | ||||||
| 4/10/24 | ![]() #112 | Safety at Sea | How to AVOID MOB Situations | We’ve all done it, taken a quick nip onto the foredeck just do ’ that thing’ and suddenly we find ourselves realizing one wrong move and we are toast. This episode looks to try to reconcile that kind of risk-taking to the garbage can and promote instead a deep instinctual suspicion that the sea does not actually care about you, is in no way impressed or ’wow’d’ by your skill set and will take every opportunity you give it, to wipe you off the deck of you boat if it can and off the face of the earth, if you are not able to regain the safety of the vessel quickly. Join me for a sobering, but not necessarily melancholy look at preventing a Man overboard situation. | 1h 10m 29s | ||||||
| 4/8/24 | ![]() #111 | Deep Dives | Solar Eclipse = Wolf Eating the Sun | Today is the day of the solar eclipse across North America, the only one that will touch the continent until 2024 (when only three states will experience totality) therefore: Happy Solar Eclipse Day! I thought I would put a few thoughts down relating to the historical and scientific history of solar eclipses to give you Dad’s EVEN more to amaze and thrill your kids with.... as you always do..... Once I push the button on this I am off outside to watch the partial eclipse we will experience here in Nova Scotia with three generations of my family- a first for me and something I am very much looking forward to! | 29m 58s | ||||||
