We have mentioned that SV Shinging Light is on diet. This week we are explaining everything! Sit down, grab a beer, and follow along as we explain why weight is important on a multihull sailboat and why we need to keep track of how heavy our boat is and why it’s critical to safety and performance.

We are the James Family, we purchased an unfinished aluminium catamaran and are fixing her up as we sail around the world. Come onboard our boat and join this sailing family aboard on our floating home!
