A small 30-minute sail repair.

In as little as 3 hours.

The thing about older sails is that while you're fixing one thing, you spot another. Then another. Then somebody says:

"Eh, may as well do that while we're here."

So the quick repair became a new leech line, removal of the leech line cleat, hand-sewing it back on, and me hand-cranking the sewing machine through more layers than it particularly wanted to deal with. I only knackered up one needle in the process.

Honestly, I don't mind jobs like this. The owner waited and participated in the repair, we chatted, the time flew by, and the sail left in far better shape than it arrived.

Also, before anyone asks, "where can I get a llama!?"
I find my fabric weights from all sorts of places, mostly garden centres or shops that sell doorstops.

Life doesn't have to be boring.

You can use plain metal weights if you want.

Or you can spend your day being supervised by a small collection of random animals.

I know which option I'm choosing.

The proper tool exists.
Somewhere in a factory 6,000 miles away.

But we need the job done this week, not sometime between “dispatched” and “arrived at local depot”.

So naturally we engineered our own precision seam guide device out of thick card and determination.

It looks ridiculous.
Works perfectly.

So who's laughing now ay?

One more slightly ridiculous dream achieved.

Back in 2014, while doing this race for the second time, I remember quietly thinking to myself, “Imagine sponsoring this one day…”

Fast forward to now, and here I am opening a box of freshly printed battle flags with my heart going at a rate my Garmin watch will probably congratulate me for later.

Because right up until the moment you open the box, there’s always the possibility you’ve accidentally approved:
• the wrong artwork
• the wrong colours
• a typo the size of a mainsail
• or hundreds of pounds worth of professionally manufactured embarrassment

Thankfully… they’re actually bloody brilliant.

Ooh, ay up...
Here's a perfect excuse to share this lovely sunrise video from Team Unicef, with Skipper Guy Waites giving an update on their progress.
2 minutes in, if you haven't drifted off at the sound of such a calming voice in tranquil seas, you can see our antiwrap net still doing its thing, after many thousand miles, there it is... still doing its job.

Heavy duty winch handle pockets that are guaranteed a minimum of 40,000 miles!

Yes! That's right. And they're made in the UK.

Another batch off on their adventures.

If you operate a heavily used charter or blue water global racing yacht, then this is what you're looking for. Don't waste your money on flimsy domestic jobbies, which are fine for leisure sailing but no good for heavy use. (We make lighter duty options too)

These are designed to be repairable. But you most likely won't need to. These go on for years and take the heaviest abuse imaginable. Fasteners are set according to customer requirements.

Available in left and right handed, dual sided and front loading. Whichever way you swing, we've got you.

Also colour coded to your vessel

New scissors are so satisfying to use.

Cutting through carbon kevlar sails can be really difficult, but with new scissors, the job's a breeze.

We had a lovely message from Skipper Emily Caruso over the weekend. They discovered one of our Ocean Signal branded products onboard and apparently they love it.
That's made our week. Thanks for the pictures!

Whoomp there it is! We've waited nearly 2 months to see these new things we made in action.

Heavy duty winch handle holders were sent out to the Philippines, then China where the maintenance team started fitting them to the boats. And we've waited eagerly to see them in action.

Where better than the North Pacific.

These heavy duty designs are guaranteed for a minimum of one circumnavigation or 40,000 miles. They're serviceable/repairable too should they need it.

Each piece on these boats was made with offshore experience, expertise and a little bit of care and love for the people having the adventure of a lifetime.

It's nice to know a little bit of us is out there, quietly making life onboard a bit more organised.

So, you want to go and visit the hot springs in the pouring rain in winter? Yes! Let's go then!

Just throw all of your things into a bucket and off you go.

On arrival, get changed into your bathing suit/old swim gear and chuck all of your clothes into the bucket and off you go to find your hot pool of loveliness.

This bucket changing mat has been modified a few times and is in testing for a modification we made to improve the form.
I use several variations of these on rotation, but this one has 10mm and 6mm thermal padding in all but the turquoise visible from above.

It's so warm to stand on compared to the floor. And as you can see, it fits an average changing cubicle floor space really nicely.

While visiting the hotsprings most people just carry their belongings in a basket (supplied by the hotspring organiser) and put it by whichever pool they're bathing in. When it's raining I just drape my coat over the the top to keep the rain out. My dry clothes stay dry. Though I could also have put my dry clothes into one of our companion dry stuff bags.

We have designed a little pop over lid to go over these for such rainy occasions. But, sods law dictates, that it's not on this particular test model)

Anyway, we're getting closer and closer (it's only been 2 years) to getting this fabulous thing ready to manufacture, but we're still unsure what to call it.

It's a bucket. It's a mat. It's a transformer. It's thermally protective. It's strong. You stand on it, you chuck gear in it.

Argh! Help us find a way to describe it. No cheating with the AI monster.

Another batch of goodies off on an adventure. They're heading to Subic Bay. Clipper Round the World Yacht Race

Heavy duty, industrial grade, repairable winch handle pockets.
Guaranteed for a minimum of one circumnavigation (40,000 miles) but likely to last much longer.

They're left and right handed, so they swing the handle flush against the coaming/bulkhead no matter how you throw the handle into them.
