An Offshore Passage..Secure it, Lash it Down, Close it tight, or lose it Overboard!!

Leave a comment

The only thing that fell over on our last offshore passage were the cushions…we forgot to replace the velcro when we redid the bulkheads. But losing something overboard, whether it be your valuable water supply, a crew member, or the anchor at sea…all can be a very serious problem while sailing offshore on a passage!

Patrick Childress’ latest “Tips from the Pros” Sailing Video series, with Hank Schmitt, demonstrates some simple things you can do, before leaving on an offshore passage, to prevent bigger problems while you are sailing offshore.

Check out the video here, and please leave all comments on the video in YouTube…not here. It really helps Youtube to promote the video more if they see that you are enjoying the video and commenting about it, sharing it, giving it a thumbs up etc.
