Boats and projects
This section covers boats and projects described in the channel’s history; it is not a current ownership register.
Adventures Of An Old Sea Dog has a 2004 Van De Stadt ‘Seal’ 36.
He has upgraded his yacht extensively and shares a lot of his knowledge on his channel. He’s modified the coach roof and I won’t take any more of his limelight, so I highly recommend checking out his upgrades and repairs video collection.
For another sailor making passages on smaller boats, see Sam Holmes Sailing.
Journeys and notable episodes
Where has he sailed? Pretty much around the world. He has had some epic adventures and has taken the audience along for the ride.
Has he been spotted on other channels? I haven’t seen him anywhere but he met the legendary Captain Fatty Goodlander around 4 years ago.
Moments in his journey include:
- Coming across a yacht wreck
- Having a fire on board
- Sailing single-handed to numerous companies
- Coming across many beautiful women
And of course, experiencing lots of sail, wind, rain, hail and sunshine!
Our Pacific sailing-time guide explains how individual passage lengths fit into the wider journey. Lauren Landers offers another solo-sailing story.
