Bowman Down, but not out on Platoon in Cascais. First hand account of a bad trip out to the end of the bowsprit on a TP52 in 20 knots of breeze. https://t.co/SS7pJP5Ilx

It's gonna be a ripper on the VanIsle 360 today. 138 miles in 10 hours. Blowing 25+ a good deal of the time. We are posting updates every few hours here: https://t.co/5gis47YnU7

It boils down to one decision, to travel or not to travel. My post about becoming a better sailboat racer. https://t.co/QnNwTQrvPh

Thank you Marcus Reichert for the photo!

The VanIsle360 starts today at 0800. The day before yesterday was BIG breeze with retirements and breakages, yesterday was light at times, today could be just right (10-20). Follow our liveblog here. https://t.co/5gis47YnU7

It is hard to send in pictures when it is blowing 30, but we have some great ones in now! Check it out: https://t.co/5gis47YnU7

Another amazing day of sailing in the 2025 VanIsle360. Up to 30 knots of breeze in Johnstone Strait, on the nose the entire day. So big some of the TP52s took down their mains and were still making 9 knots. See the live blog with pics here: https://t.co/5gis47YnU7

Each little decision contributes, but in the end you can either tack and cross, or you can't. https://t.co/3lvo6QESQU
