Tips for Offshore Sailing - How to Stay Safe

- Marijke and Jaap Mulder have spent their adult lives largely at sea having extensive passage experience and being long term live-aboards in the Netherlands, New Zealand and Japan. Even when they tour on land they inhabit a camper van, another tiny space.
In their early twenties they built a boat, set sail across the Atlantic with limited experience and learning along the way, including the sextant, with the view of connecting with Jaap`s Sister and her husband who were also building a boat in NZ. Eventually they were able to find each other in Fiji and after cruising together as buddy boats for a month they made their way to NZ where they heard about a sponsored Yacht Race from Auckland to Fukuoka Japan.
In 2002 they moved from SY Jan Haring (34 ft homebuilt) to SY Alishan (43 ft Taswell).
Listen to their story and take note of the tips he offers. I certainly have. For one I am trying to be tidier!

A wonderful story. I had the pleasure to meet you both on a recent trip to Japan.
Our yacht was in Japan for 13 years all up, arriving 1990, such an awesome country.
Thanks for watching . I will pass on your greetings to The Mulders
Nice. Thank you.
I’m reminded of all the public signs these last two years of CoVID promising to keep us safe if we only did exactly as they instructed. “How to Stay Safe” - Don’t you really mean “safer”? On these voyages we’re you ever “safe”?
Thanks for watching and commenting. You make a good point
