Selling the Dream: Book an offshore sailing adventure with Sail Libra
04/13/22 • 95 min
If you've ever dreamed of cutting the lines and running away on a sailboat Captain Ryan is the man to talk to. For a small fee, you can experience what REAL cruising is like aboard Libra, his 60' center cockpit ketch. In relative safety you can experience what offshore passage making is REALLY like, and for a FRACTION of the price of buying your own yacht and fitting it out for offshore.
We sit him down to get his entire story, get a SUPER LESSON in centerboard boats, and see what makes him tick.

Life at the Limit: Sailing around the world on a SUPER FAST Catamaran
Imagine if you could cross a Porsche 911 GT2 with the most badass airstream you've ever seen... This mythical beast would be the land-based brother of the Outremer 55. Combining comfort, speed, and safety the team at Outremer knocked this one out of the park!
Unfortunately disaster strikes only 6 months after taking delivery of their BRAND NEW Outremer 55. We interview Marijka and Mark and find out exactly WHAT happened, get a tour of the boat and damage, and learn what it takes to sail on one of the world's fastest production catamarans.
If you're ready to start drooling, head over to this link to see the tour of this marvelous catamaran.

Much love!
