About This Podcast

Experience the reality of solo and short-handed sailing on the big blue ocean, as well as some of the problems that can crush our cruising life. 

Do you fear solo sailing? I know so many cruising sailors who have become solo sailors, many just not by choice. Injuries, arguments, and life can leave you and your vessel stranded in some of the most beautiful and dangerous places on Earth.

Learning to sail your yacht solo is a skill every sailor should master. This removes the anxiety of having no crew, you gain a true sense of freedom, and you also gain skills every sailor should have. 



I'm a veteran retired from active service exploring new opportunities to learn, teach and grow. I'm now sailing around Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands on my Dutch Built 44ft Alloy Ketch. I have over 30 years of extensive experience conducting and teaching water operations in the Australian special forces, I use what I have learned to make sailing safer.

I sail many of the passages solo, other times sailing with an assortment of crew, some young and some young at heart. People who hitch a lift, learn to sail, or just want to explore exotic locations. 

Safe Sailing, see you out there. 

Best Regards Trev
