Savannah sunrise. 5 years of prep, and now 5 months of cruising. It may be harder and more expensive than planned, but it has been worth the effort. 1985 Valiant 3211mo ⋅ Larakin ⋅ r/sailing

Sailing n00b - On a boat like this, how does the foresail move to the other side when tacking?2yr ⋅ IAmArgumentGuy ⋅ r/sailing
I picked up this 1972 Matilda today for $700. I’ve never sailed before, figured it would be a cheap way to learn. Anyway, it doesn’t have a boom vang. Previous owner says he never used one. Do I need one?1yr ⋅ bender38 ⋅ r/sailing
Mast being removed means end of the good times with Esmeralda until April. See you all in spring for her 127th launch!7mo ⋅ achi2019 ⋅ r/sailing
For the people here who said the mast needed trimming, you were right and I did. Removed 5 3/4 and sailed three times since. Easier to hike out, and reduced drag with stabilizers dry + not spilling wind heeling over = boat now easily jumps up to 5.2 knots in light wind. 6.1 in moderate.8mo ⋅ genericdude999 ⋅ r/sailing

DIY boat interior. Far from perfect. But still there after 2 weeks....maybe I really saved some cash.3yr ⋅ leonardosalvatore ⋅ r/sailing
If only all boats could be laid on their side to do aloft work. For context this is a shrimp boat that caught fire a few days ago and I imagine they are salvaging whatever they can from it.1yr ⋅ Goldenchicks ⋅ r/sailing
