Safety: Basic Gear Cruisers Should Have on Board

Friday 2:00 pm - Friday 2:55 pm | Featuring: Behan & Jamie Gifford

Behan & Jamie Gifford
When Behan and Jamie Gifford sailed south from the Salish Sea in 2008 they anticipated cruising for a two- to five-year sabbatical. Life had other plans! Nearly a decade later they closed the loop on a circumnavigation aboard their Stevens 47, Totem. Their three children are growing up afloat, with the first transitioning ashore for college this past year. The Totem family has sailed nearly 100,000 km while visiting 48 countries/territories, from Madagascar to Martinique. They're currently cruising the Pacific side of Mexico, with an eye on returning to the South Pacific when the pandemic allows. Together, they provide coach/mentor services to help people realize their cruising dreams.

Staying safe is the top priority for all! But what’s necessary equipment, and what’s over-hyped? Experienced sailors and circumnavigators will share a tiered list to help you prepare for sailing offshore: what you must have, what you might consider, and what’s optional.
