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
The Best Yachts to Sail around the World are Alloy #34
Do you want to sail around the World? What do you think is the best material for your yacht. For me that is always going to be Alloy. I sail a Alloy 44 foot Ketch its 50 years old, I think this vessel might last another 50 years.
Recently I've been watching Peter (AKA Plucky) from Sailing into Freedom. Peter is building a new 48 foot catamaran, an Odisea 48. It looks great it also looks fast.
If your interested in learning more about Alloy Yachts. I reviewed the Expedition 52 monohull when I recently visited the German Boat Show. I also look over Peters catamaran and talk about 5 fiberglass yachts the hit reefs in Fiji in 2023.
Visit my Website for more info: On Why I Think Alloy Yachts make the Best Solo Boats, if you want to learn about how a yacht survives getting crushed in pack ice.
