The Riglers and Morrisons anchor around the corner from White Bay at Jost Van Dyke–known as the “barefoot” island for its casual lifestyle. They launch the dingy and head to shore to visit local beach bars and shops. After a few relaxing hours kicking back and doing nothing, our couples cast off once again. The wind is up and the water is flat: perfect conditions for a smooth sail across Sir Francis Drake channel. TheBeneteau 393 is well suited for the BVI: roomy enough for two couples yet easy for one couple to sail. Stay tuned for Episode 11, Green Key and the Indians. TheSailingChannel.Com brings Gary Jobson’s outstanding film about sailing the British Virgin Islands to video podcasting. Sunsail, the world’s largest sailing vacation company, wanted to showcase it’s British Virgin Islands fleet. So it ran a contest among its former charter customers. The winners, a family and two couples, would cruise free while staring in a promotional video produced and narrated by sailing legend Gary Jobson–not a bad deal!

Shosholoza: An African Dream
TheSailingChannel presents a new mini-documentary by our partner, SailTV. Shosholoza: An African Dream captures the new spirit of South Africa through the drama and excitement of an America’s Cup challenge sponsored by T-Systems. Behind the scenes is the Izivunguvungu Sailing School, a non-profit founded in 1997 by SA Olympic sailor Ian Ainslie. The school teaches disadvantaged youth life skills through sail training. Part of the MSC Foundation, the school’s key benefactor is Captain Salvatore Sarno who also serves as the Managing Director of Team Shosholoza. Assisting with the youth sailing program is the South African Navy. Together, their efforts are changing the lives of the poorest of South Africa’s children: instilling pride through the discipline of sailing and national identity through positive role models, black and white, crewing aboard Team Shosholoza. Bowman, Golden Mgedeza and other Team Shosholoza crewmembers have become new heroes for children who are turning away from crime, returning to school, and embracing sailing as a way to give new meaning to their lives.

VirtualSailboatShow: Dutchman Sail Flaking System
TheSailingChannel interviews Dutchman Sail Flaking System inventor, Martin van Breems at the 2005 US Sailboat Show in Annapolis, MD. The Dutchman uses vertical control lines laced through fairleads fastened to the sail. Martin gives us a firsthand demonstration of how the Dutchman collects the mainsail on the boom with no need to secure the intermediate reef points. With lines led aft, you can operate the system entirely from the cockpit. Relatively inexpensive, the Dutchman works with both conventional and full-batten sails, and you can easily retrofit it to your existing main.
