Sea Savvy
Cruising Life through the Eyes of Tom Neale
A motorsailer gets no respect, I tell ya
Chez Nous isn't a powerboat or a pure sailboat, and it's been the source of Tom's nautical identity crisis
I'm not a psychologist or even a TV talking-head shrink. So I don't know why some people have identity crises. But I do know why I have an identity crisis. It's because I have a motorsailer.
In search of the trusty yard expert
We can't do all the maintenance ourselves, so it's crucial to find the right mechanic or technician
If you're like me and can't buy a new boat every few years, you probably spend a lot of time worrying about finding people and yards to help keep your boat alive.
Strange things we’ve seen at sea
Spend as much time on the water as Tom has, and you just might wonder if you can still believe your eyes
When you’re out on the water, you don’t need to look for a ghostly pirate ship lunging upward from the waves like a fantasy from the movies. There are many weird sights at sea needing no help from Hollywood — some even stranger than fiction.
Out with the old and in with the new
Is your pride and joy no longer proud? Here are some projects that can help restore that ‘new boat’ feel
My boat was built in 1975 and, if my watch is right, it’s now 2009. I love my boat. They don’t make boats like this anymore, and if they did she would cost a fortune.
An outboard that’s out of his world
Quieter, more efficient, less maintenance — it’s a whole lot for a hands-on type of guy to comprehend
I don’t know what that thing is hanging off the stern of my boat, but I know danged well it ain’t no outboard.
