Sailing Alone: The Complicity with Yourself to Overcome Personal Dissatisfaction
Many times we are not satisfied with ourselves. It’s a real problem and almost no one says it out loud. I sail solo and I’ll tell you what I do: the foundation of everything is complicity with myself. Without that, there is no course that holds up. We keep going. #SoloSailing #Sailing #Sailboat #SelfEsteem #PersonalGrowth […]
Invert the order: sail before graduating
We have a system that maybe we’ve understood backwards. We get a title so we can navigate, when navigating should be part of the route to obtain that title. Because passing an exam gives you a qualification. Experience, safety, and judgement at sea are gained by sailing. My order would be different: first sail, learn, […]
Missing the Seventh Edition of the Inclusive Boat for a World Trip
Next year I’ll miss the seventh edition of Barco Inclusivo. My excuse is a bit weak: I hope to be setting off from Vigo to sail around the world. 😅 We continue. Next year I’ll miss the seventh edition of Barco Inclusivo. My excuse is a bit weak: I hope to be setting off from […]
Inventing Solutions for the Global Solo Challenge: The Innovation of MORFRAC
When nothing off the shelf works… you build it. The stay rotates and, for the Global Solo Challenge, I need to be able to drop the sail from deck. No trips to the top of the mast. MORFRAC developed the solution: custom fitting, hook and new furler. Seguimos. When nothing off the shelf works… you […]

An Unexpected Oceanic Dream in Seville
There are encounters you don’t seek. I’m in Seville and I come across another dream: the Elcano Oceanic Trophy. I wasn’t expecting it. And I admit, it moves me. An extreme oceanic adventure: sailing around the world westward, against the prevailing winds, against the currents… against everything. Hard to imagine anything more extreme. We continue. […]
Comparative of Crank Handles: Harken Grip & Go versus Other Options
Product provided by @Equipyacht. Four winch handles. Same job. Quite different sensations. I compared the Harken Grip & Go with three other handles by focusing on three things that matter a lot to me on board: weight, comfort, and speed of use. And it is precisely in the use where the Grip & Go makes […]
Is the mainsail always hoisted to the wind?
Does the mainsail always go up head to wind? Lately, I encounter many sailors who have it ingrained in their minds: to hoist the mainsail, bow into the wind. Well… not always. At sea, more than learning rules by heart, it’s better to understand why we do things. I like people who ask, doubt, and […]
