In this vlog, we go right back to basics and talk about the different parts of the sail.

Knowing how and why it's important to keep a ship's log is important. This video talks you through the log of a Clipper Race yacht.
This is a video recording of our first monthly webinar broadcast on our Fierce Turtle Facebook page. We hold a webinar on the last Saturday of each month.
This video goes through kit organisation. If you are training in the UK between October and April, I seriously suggest you consider buying one of these warm, fleece-lined sleeping bags. The Volvo Ocean bag is brilliant, but about 5 x the price of this bag, so if money is tight, this bag will do the job. Alternatively, you can hire an Ocean Sleeping Bag from us - just click here for more information.
The Sutherland bag can be ordered on Amazon and delivered in the UK. They sell for about £50 at the time of writing. In this short video I discuss what you should be thinking about packing for a cold ocean leg. In this context, I consider Cold Ocean Legs to be Legs 2, 3 , 4, 6 and Leg 8.

Fierce Turtle is not linked to nor is it in any way accredited by the splendid folk at Clipper Ventures. All opinion is my own.
