Welcome to Chasing Latitudes! Have you ever imagined the smell of the ocean air as your boat crashes through the waves? The freedom that comes from casting off the bow lines and heading out to sea to explore new places you can’t reach by car or airplane? Then this channel is for you.

You will not see white sand beaches here, restaurant reviews, beach parties, selfies or Japanese knives. What you will find is factual information based on decades of sailing experience.

My channel is specifically meant for one thing and one thing only, to help YOU find your new to you fancy-dancy yacht of your dreams and get on the water in the fastest, most time efficient manner.

Don’t get caught up in looking at old boats! I focus on mostly newer vessels, built in 2000 or later because I want you to spend as much of your time as possible sailing, not practicing your restoration skills on an old boat attempting to bring it to its former glory.

You want to take advantage of the amazing newer technology and modern hull designs when it comes to sailing. This is going to make your vessel far easier to sail solol or short handed and make them far more comfortable and efficient to live aboard full time or even just weekenders without buying more boat than you need.

I offer a wide variety of services including consulting where I will take you through the entire process of how to budget properly, choosing what vessel size will work for your needs, what type of vessel, I will help you shop for vessels, determine offer prices, schedule surveys, talk with brokers, teach you how to do your own pre-survey, walk you through hiring the correct surveyor and help you avoid all of the common pitfalls that you will find when purchasing used sailing vessels.

The consulting does not stop there, I will be with you every step of the way and long after you have purchased your vessel as consulting also comes with lifetime access to the members area,.

Chasing Latitudes hosts a large, active private members area where the members are more than happy to offer their own experience to solve problems, host private videos for ASA Sailing quizzes (ASA 101, 103, & 104), and live stream videos which feature anything from member cruising to boat shopping, boat comparisons, and other live content with chat from the subscribers to my YouTube channel and channel members.

It’s time for YOU to get on the water. Come aboard!

Wow these are much more informative than the “drama mamma” channels. Thank you. I’m realizing that I need to change my plans.

I took my ASA 101, 103 and 104 certification in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It's amazing sailing! You will want to spend at least a couple days in tabago kays, and bequia is great. Pick up a ball in port Elisabeth for a few days.

Happy Thanksgiving Chasing Latitudes people.

I know zero about anything marine, but in the world of land motors they work better when they are run regularly. Lots of diesel trucks out there with over 500k miles with nothing but regular oil changes.
I would think running your engine a few hours per week would be a good thing. Is it any different in the salt water world?

Good information. Glad you have options of different marinas to sail to. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

What is there to be nervous about sailing ⛵️

[swimcat]

Dinghy fail, good ole paddles, unless a current. When the captain says motor, we motor PERIOD. Don't mess with ANY captain ANY time.

I'm not seein the problem. Every resort, marina, campground, RV Park or whatever raises their rates during the busy season.

This is not news.

I can help you sell to St Lucia if you need the skipper
