Details

You can learn how to sail anywhere, and there is TONS of info online about how to outfit a boat for offshore sailing (specifically on morganscloud.com, run by panelist John Harries). We’ll touch on those topics, but I want to dig deep into the different personalities and perspectives of our panelists and talk more about their distinct sailing philosophies. What can we learn from the vast and varied experience of our guests, and how can we apply that to our own plans and dreams? A few of the topics we’ll deep dive on:

Leadership styles
Preparation
How an offshore racing sailor thinks (and how we can apply that to offshore cruising)
Fear, anxiety & emergencies
Decision-making under stress
Seamanship & weather forecasting
& More…

I feel strongly that we cannot, and should not, tell YOU how to go offshore sailing. We can only speak from our own experiences, including our successes and failures, and it’s up to you to learn from it.
