Solo Sailing with Trev White
Experience the reality of solo and short-handed sailing on the big blue ocean, as well as some of the problems that can crush our cruising life.
Do you fear solo sailing? I know so many cruising sailors who have become solo sailors, many just not by choice. Injuries, arguments, and life can leave you and your vessel stranded in some of the most beautiful and dangerous places on Earth.
Learning to sail your yacht solo is a skill every sailor should master. This removes the anxiety of having no crew, you gain a true sense of freedom, and you also gain skills every sailor should have.
I'm a veteran retired from active service exploring new opportunities to learn, teach and grow. I'm now sailing around Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands on my Dutch Built 44ft Alloy Ketch. I have over 30 years of extensive experience conducting and teaching water operations in the Australian special forces, I use what I have learned to make sailing safer.
I sail many of the passages solo, other times sailing with an assortment of crew, some young and some young at heart. People who hitch a lift, learn to sail, or just want to explore exotic locations.
Safe Sailing, see you out there.
Best Regards Trev

Solo Sailing with Trev White
How to Anchor and recover your Anchor Solo #24
Anchoring your vessel is the one skill you need to master. Become a master in the dark arts of anchoring.
Why do so many sailors drag anchor and endanger the lives of their family, crew and their vessel.
This podcast details my tactics, technique and the procedure I use for anchoring in most locations. This Technique relies on a working motor, furled sails. I also discuss my technique for recovering my anchor as a Solo sailor.
I will discuss sailing into an anchorage and anchoring without the use of your motor in a future episode. For the times when you motor dies.
