Dashew Offshore is the first in a new series of videos from Steve & Linda Dashew. For two hours you'll sail aboard Sundeer, and see how Steve and Linda handle her in light airs and in storm force winds. You'll learn how the Dashews set spinnakers (by themselves!), dock in tight quarters, and reef down in heavy weather.
Step by step, in great detail, you'll see explanations of fully battened sails and lazy jacks, engine room systems, and running rigging, with information on ground tackle, electric winches, plus hints and secrets on a host of other subjects.
If you've ever wondered what's the right hull shape for cruising, the Dashews will take you from the drawing board to the real world, and explain what it takes for a well behaved vessel.
With exquisite photography from Polynesia to Alaska and some of the most exciting heavy weather footage you'll ever see, this video is a must see for anyone who dreams of cruising.
Linda & Steve Dashew have spent a lifetime designing, building, cruising and racing sailboats. They've sailed more than 150,000 miles, circumnavigated the glove and have published over 160 articles in major sailing magazines. Their books are considered a must for anyone thinking about cruising.
