This is THE daily newsletter for go-getters who want to try something new and get out on the ocean…but have never been on a boat.
Short, irreverent emails take you through a yacht introduction step-by-step (with a few mojitos and flamingos in between), by someone easily bored and wants to skip to the good bits (but also knows sailing is a mix of two things: a little danger…and a lot of beauty).
Get the sailing terms you NEED to know to be safe onboard. And don’t feel totally clueless when you get invited to crew!
