Stories, passages and practical know-how for sailors looking for a boat and skippers looking for crew.

Knowing the right words on board is more than language or duty. It’s part of a sailor’s soul.

In fact, many of those cruising the world’s seas started much later in life, and some even decided to learn to sail after buying a boat.

Not long ago, if you wanted to join a sailing trip, you’d wander down to the marina, read the flyers pinned to a noticeboard, and hope for the best.

Every skipper remembers the best crew they’ve ever sailed with. They’re the ones who become friends by the second night watch.
