Outfitting the Ideal Cruising Sailboat

Outfitting the Ideal Cruising Sailboat

A video by Rob and Dee Dubin from Sailing Quarterly Video Magazine
Running time: 76 minutes.

After filming Sailing Quarterly Video Magazine for 6 years and 24 episodes, the Dubin’s purchased a new bluewater cruising boat, “Ventana” – an Island Packet 40. They outfitted her with many of the gear and customizations featured in the series. In this video, the Dubin’s give you a tour above and below decks, describing boat construction, sails, rigging, ground tackle, and other gear and features they selected. Regardless of the boat you decide on, you’ll find their advice extremely helpful.

In 1996, the Dubin’s embarked on a 17 year, 50,000 mile circumnavigation. On January 18, 2012 they crossed their previous outbound track in the Caribbean. Visit the Ventana Voyage website for the story of their sailing adventures and a wealth of knowledge of cruising the world.
