At RWS Sailing Safe we do not pretend to know everything. We are not your naval architects, marine engineers, or part of the sailing elite.
We’re just everyday sailors — the kind who grew up racing dinghies, sanding and varnishing boats, cooking sausages after club races, towing trailers full of boats to championships and regattas. Some of us moved on to keelboats, crewing offshore, racing up and down the Queensland coast, and even taking part in major races like the Sydney to Hobart. We share information based on our experiences and research, but we are not professionals. We cannot be held accountable for the other sites the articles link to. That’s their site. We have tried not to plagiarise anything, just link to the available articles. We have taken all our own photos and copyright stays with us. We are trying to gather all the research and articles and present it in one place for others, as a resource.
Its still up to you Skipper, you are responsible for your own decisions, safety, and vessel.

Always seek expert advice
