Why do boat loos need to be so complicated!!!

Feeling a little green?

Sometimes it's best not to know what is going on behind you!

While rounding Portland Bill towing our large dinghy the sea was confused and dangerous, we were having difficulty just getting Middaysun to go in a straight line while the dinghy was trying to brake free.

Reasons why boating is so expensive!

Introduction to Ate-a-cake

I have been sailing around the English Coast for a number of years and during travels I have seen other yachtsmen and women getting themselves in all kind of tricky and embarrassing situations just by their lack of knowledge of sailing protocol. A lot of the occurrences were noted in the log, (some of which were caused by us!)

All the boating courses and qualifications provided are all very good and I highly recommend them, but they seem to miss out on the etiquette of yachting. This got me thinking, writing and drawing. Slowly this guide started to emerge.
