We leave our boat for the first time in two years. What have we gotten ourselves into? This video is a little more raw and real than usual.

Learn what it is like to sail and race boats in the middle of the USA, pure Michigan style. If you like boat projects, boat tours, racing sailboats, dirt track stock car racing and want to see what goes on behind the scenes in the boatyard, this is the episode for you.

We set up the 1D35 Turbo (one design thirty five) in the shadows of the Great Lakes TP 52 racing fleet. We also dive into the electronics setup of a Santa Cruz 70 (GL70) and transport boats from Muskegon Michigan to Chicago for the start of the 2021 Chicago to Mackinac race.

Who are these crazy people?

We are Kate and Curtis aboard our boat s/v Sweet Ruca. We are kind of like Sailing la Vagabonde, except we have a sailing dog named Roxy instead of a kid, and a monohull instead of a catamaran.

We are Sailing Sweet Ruca! We are going around the world via Cape Horn and the Cape of Good hope in our performance cruising monohull, a J Boats J/46. We used to be sailboat racers, but have turned to the cruising life, along with our sailing dog, Roxy.

Come sailing around the world with us and learn how to sail as you go! Other sailing channels we like are Uma, Soulianis, Zatara, Nahoa, Delos, and Doodles (without the sexy Instagram models).

For more satisfying video subscribe to our channel and sail away with us. If you like sailing videos and are looking for a new sailing channel to follow, check us out. Sometimes Kate even does her best to sneak in a little ASMR voice in the videos.
