Can We Sail WITHOUT a GPS in the Open Ocean?? | Sailing Ripple Effect

- Our new crew has only been sailing for a few weeks now, and they are just starting to get the hang of how everything on the boat works. Today we will be putting them up to the ultimate test and will remove all electronic navigation tools from the helm, and will only allow them to use paper charts/maps to navigate the boat to a remote island in the Philippines. The crew will first have to plan and draw their course on the paper chart. They will have to plot out landmarks that they can use as visual cues to know where they are, and when they need to turn the boat. They will also have to learn how to triangulate and use surrounding objects/landmasses to determine their rough location. With this kind of challenge, there are a lot of things that can go wrong and we are risking our boat in the process. The main fear is that the crew will not track our location properly and will steer us into shallow waters where we have the possibility of running ground, or crashing into coral. The crew will also be very distracted while trying to navigate, so it will be extremely important that they monitor the sails and avoid any damage to the boat's mechanics.

love this episode! and as much as it was a lot of work, I actually loved sailing without the help of any navigation instruments!!!!
It really makes you both appreciate the tools we usually have, but also the nature and surroundings more.
This is so impressive! Mara you should have been giving the girls accomplishment badges 😂
Should make that happen for future seasons
Many years ago we all had to sail without GPS. There was no GPS, Plotter, radar, and AIS. I first sail my Contessa 26 from the Uk to the Med with just a compass and paper charts. I had a sextant, if only I had learned how to use it? We got there in one piece tired but elated beyond belief. My advice is don't do it. If you do, watch systems have to be stricker than normal. If you have a vessel in sight, give them a call on the radio and ask them to confirm your position. "play dumb and say that you have a technical problem" loved the video 😀.
Haha thats AMAZING! We have so much respect for sailors like yourself, and for the old way of sailing. I guess its too easy now 😂. Haha we love your advice. Thanks for watching!!!
I got anxious for last seasons crew when sailing with no gps and nervous again for this season hahaha! Great job everyone!!! I also would’ve been like oh sh*t oh sh*t 😂😂
Hahaha 😂😂 yup. It’s so nerve wracking in the moment but so rewarding afterwards
omg they did so well! 🫨
I know! So proud of my crew 🫶🏼

US Navy sailors get less training than the girls did ;) Haha, great job everyone!
We met the navy… and you’re absolutely correct!
Imagine you lose electric power in the open seas: what you do? You are lost. Learn the art of navigation with the heavely bodies, all you need is a reliable watch on GMT, checked daily for time signals ( battery radio suffice), appropriatre ephemeris, tables and knowledge and a good reliable compass, frequently checked for error. Learn also coastal navigation as it appears you are ignorant of anything concerning navigation.
It has happened to us before, luckily our captain Mara knows chart navigation, celestial navigation and is pretty darn good at estimating our position just from log book notes.
But our crew is always a new crew with no sailing experience, so it is always fun to learn them some new skills.
