Just uploaded a few moments from past sailing seasons ⛵️

Looking through these photos brought back everything — early mornings at sea, first maneuvers, mistakes that turned into lessons, and the kind of sunsets you can’t really capture, only feel.

Every season leaves its mark. New people, new skills, new stories.

If you’ve sailed with us before — you might recognize a moment or two.
If not — this is what’s waiting for you.

The new season is just around the corner, and we’re ready to create even more of these memories together.

See you on the water.

🚤 Sailing insights from the bay of Varna 🌊
📍 Special Purpose Mark, mid-bay

Yesterday’s track tells a bigger story than just distance and time — it reveals the hidden complexity behind sail performance and decision-making on water.

One tack was noticeably worse, and it wasn’t random. It’s all about:
• 🌊 Wave direction and how it hits you on different tacks
• ⚖️ Ballast and heel — weight distribution, trim, and crew placement matter
• 💧 Our water tank (200L) under the right galley bench added asymmetry
• 🎯 All of this affects your VMG (Velocity Made Good) to target

When you’re on the “bad” tack, waves hit you more directly, awkwardly, and disrupt your rhythm. The boat slows down. You feel it.

🏁 22.8 km in 4 hours, but every zigzag holds a lesson for both crew and coach.
Getting comfortable with asymmetry, managing the boat’s balance — and teaching why it’s not always about sailing straight.

📈 Sailing teaches nuance. Coaching reveals it.
