Looking at the results of magazine showdowns might seem to be the answer to the conundrum of which antifouling paint to buy.

Antifouling paints can be divided into three basic categories. It is essential to understand them before narrowing down further and choosing a specific antifoul for your boat.

The old seadog at the Yacht Club will tell you the answer is usually about 1 litre more than you bought!

For me, one of the most interesting moments, in the 2016-2017 Vendee Globe was early on in the race, when Jean le Cam, complained about having to make videos

Yesterday, I discussed the numerous insights shared by Kame Richards when discussing a new sail wardrobe for Bill Schaefer’s Cal 40. He went on to recommend a minimal sail inventory that Bill would need to start racing the boat in the waters of San Francisco bay.

I highly recommend Bill Shcaefer’s excellent youtube series on the complete restoration of a Bill Lapworth designed Cal 40. One of the most interesting videos of the series is the one where he talks with Kame Richards from Pineapple Sails about new sails for the boat. It is full of valuable insights for any one considering upgrading the sail inventory of an older boat.
