Sharing Solo Top Tips while on-passage from Solent to Falmouth - SJ320 Project Race Boat

A Singlehanded sail to deliver my project race boat (SJ320) to Falmouth from the Solent in order to take part in the 2026 Yachting Monthly Celtic Triangle Race. It's a bit of a slow passage so I take the opportunity to share with you some of the mod's I have done to Furiosa and tips I have for sailing solo - not a full list but hopefully interesting to sailors wanting to go Solo. I almost loose my voice but hope you can forgive me sounding weird throughout. I’m thirsty after all that talking, buy me a beer? https://www.paypal.me/RefitAndSail If you have enjoyed this video and/or learned something you can "buy me a beer" using the link above to make a donation to RefitAndSail.

I'm mostly in the central Solent area of the UK. Being a cruising and racing sailor with many thousands of inshore and offshore sea miles logged I like to think that I bring a great deal of real-world experience to my work and help many new (and not so new) boat owners to improve and maintain their boats. When I'm not fixing boats I also provide some own-boat sail training, help owners with deliveries, provide pre-purchase inspections and deliver consultancy services to those that are refitting their own boats for cruising or racing.
