Gales every weekend

Gales every weekend, Volume 1, is a detailed collection of blog posts from 2015 documenting life aboard Robinetta. This small wooden yacht, built in 1937, serves as the setting for these sailing adventures. The narrative focuses on the realities of navigating a short, heavy vessel with a modest engine, where passage planning relies on a conservative four knots. This work fits naturally into the water sports and sailing categories.

The crew members, who began sailing in their late thirties, navigate the challenges of long distance cruising with a blend of humor and caution. By sailing within their comfort zone and avoiding rigid schedules, they find liberation in their limitations. This sports and recreation title highlights the practical side of coastal passages and the personal growth that comes from managing a vintage yacht.
