Antarctica Voyage aboard Outremer 45 Danson Kea

It was a deliberately provocative choice for Dominique and Christine at the time to sail their Outremer 45 Danson, from 2007, in Antarctica. Kea had sailed in icey Alaska, so why not Antarctica!

Monohull to Multihull

The most impactful change from a monohull to a multihull is that everyday life moves up a storey or two. The location and flow of spaces and rooms and people are critical to defining the heart of a home.

Why every serious cruiser should go racing

Sustainable sailing: why and how to protect our ocean’s biodiversity

71% of our planet is water-covered and the ocean, known as a carbon sink, concentrates about 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere (more than the Amazon rainforest) and absorbs 90% of excess heat in our climate system.

Should you join a ladies-only crew?

What I would encourage any woman to do before signing up to a female-only course is to ensure that you are bringing a positive and constructive mindset with you to that environment. Sailing with women is what all these women thought it would be – supportive, fun, calm, empowering and balanced.

Unseasonable crossings — PART 02

When I look back on the crossing on La Vagabonde, my brain does a remarkably clever thing. It filters out most of the hard stuff: the lightning, the stress, the responsibility, the social media flurry, the awkward moments between the diverse characters. What’s left, is memories of day 12 onwards…

Unseasonable Crossings — PART 01

The Vendee Globe has got to be the toughest solo sporting event there is. It’s a single handed round the world sailing race without stops or assistance. Having raced in the Southern Ocean myself – it is a desolate place in spirit, in physicality, and in the mental state you find yourself in.

Sailing upwind on Outremer 45 Sailing La Vagabonde — PART 02

Sailing is a sensual sport. When you sail, you must work together with nature. You must ride her waves and helm in time with her flow, easing and tightening and swaying with her rhythm.

Sailing upwind on Outremer 45 Sailing La Vagabonde — PART 01

18th November 2019 was the fifth day of our 18-day transatlantic delivery on La Vagabonde, the Outremer 45. The unseasonable nature of the voyage did not disappoint; this was the fifth consecutive day of upwind sailing.
