Everything You Think About Sailing Is Wrong

Ever wondered what sailing is really like? After years living aboard, crossing oceans, rescuing boats, breaking boats, and teaching new crews how to sail, I’ve heard every sailing myth in the book… and today we’re busting the big ones. In this episode, we break down the 12 most common (and most misleading!) sailing myths that stop people from getting on the water — including the truth about boat costs, storms, sharks, catamaran safety, anchoring, YouTube crew life, and whether you actually need experience before buying a boat. Whether you’re dreaming of cruising, already sailing, or just love the lifestyle, this podcast will give you a real-world look at what sailing is actually like… the good, the bad, and the hilarious.
