Full Moon Regatta THE BEST Sailing Race you've Never Heard of! Racing a Catalina 30 | A&J Sailing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Every year on the first full moon in August there is a quirky yet humble gathering of rivals & friends to decide once and for all who sails supreme! Actually there are two races, the first a circumnavigation of Marina island which starts on the beach with the ringing of a bell and a second that finds competitors tacking around objects floating way too close to shore! This is the story of the trials and tribulations of sailboat racing, competing against your past-self and the making of new friends and lasting memories.

WHO WE ARE
Hi! We're Allison & James 👋 a Canadian Aussie duo who left the conventional life behind to live an adventure-based alternative lifestyle here in the Pacific Northwest! Currently, we split our time between land and sea - living part time in our tiny home in the woods and the rest of the year living on our floating tiny home, exploring the epic coastline of the PNW! Continually chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path & living a more sustainable, self-sufficient life.
Thank you for being here with us for vanlife, rvlife, boatlife and all the in between!

This probably doesn’t do a lot for our racing career, but we had a lot of fun with this one! 😂 Thanks for watching friends!
Might be the best “tortoise” sailboat race ever narrated. Thoroughly enjoyed this terrific video! The anchorages looked incredible.
Hahah! Ya know what they say! Slow & steadyyy 🐢 Thanks so much friend, so glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
Wow I never thought I’d hear an Aussie say “BUEEEEE” (buoy) instead of “BOY” hilarious 😂 ❤
When in Rome 😅
Ahhh, that was such a treat to relive. I will be rewatching this video regularly to go to my happy place. So fun and so glad y’all came and enjoyed the one and only Shark Spit Full Moon Regatta!
Hahah! So happy to take you back to our happy place!!! Wicked time. Stoked we met ya’ll and had the pleasure to partake! Double full moon this year, double the fun!!! Weoooo 🤙🏽
That sunset was gorgeous, and the landscape at 13:00, those mountains, wow! and the drone montage that followed, soooo good!
Yessss moving into the heart of the coastal mountain range from here! This is where it gets reallyyyy good 🏔️🏔️🏔️
So glad you enjoyed the little montage at the end, that reversing tidal fall was pretty lovely ☺️
Like you, Allison, I’ve been binge watching sailing channels for a few years. Delos got me started then down the rabbit hole I went - lol. I bought an Ericson 26’ last year and almost have it ready to go. Your channel has really lit the fire under my back side and hopefully be cruising next summer👍🏻
Awe so Nice! I landed on Delos very early on as well. La Vaga was actually the first channel I found back in 2017 or something when researching a sailing trip in NZ. That's when it clicked that I might not need to wait until my 'later years' to live this lifestyle. Shortly after, i moved to BC from the east coast and was absolutely in awe of this coast! Was wanting to watch people sail here but there wasn't much so we started making our own! So glad you're enjoying the vids, hearing from folks like you really keeps the whole thing going!
Big Congrats on the purchase of your own sailboat, such a good feeling pushing off that dock for good! Hope to share an anchorage together one day, chat soon! -A
I like the music choices in this one! Looked like a beautiful day!
Thanks so much Caroline! choosing the music is always a bit of a challenge, sometimes James as to loop the tracks😅
Fun to race/beach with you guys , spectacular drone footage thank U,two full moons in August this year ,double regatta
Glad U went to watermelon bay with it's reversing river ,Super Special place
Tim it was such a pleasure!! Great to see it all from the air hey? Really gives an added perspective to the lived experience! Stoked for this year, double the fun!!! 🌝
Such a great recommendation, thank you! So lovely there :)
Hey Tim, do you have Facebook? Would love to get in touch with you to chat more about the regatta. We’d like to write a piece on it for a sailing magazine.
I msged U on f.b.
I enjoyed your first sailing race. Congrats you finished and looks like the after party was a real hoot, with trophies and a few speeches. Great stuff. See you next week.
Amazing video!❤
Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it. We'll see you in the next one, cheers!
looks like you guys had fun, what cruising is all about, cheers
Thanks Patrick! We are definitely more into cruising than racing! Although it was fun to give it a shot 😂
Do you plan to catch up to almost real time ever ? Sorry I just like looking forward 😎👍
We filmed pretty well every day in August this past Summer, documenting our journey North! So takes a good few weeks to get those all out when we post weekly!
However we’re not filming so much currently, so soon enough we will be closer to real time. Ideally though we would like to maintain a 2-3 month lead time. If we had an editor it would be a different story. Thanks for watching :)
Without sailing gloves, you didn't have a chance.
Dang! Next year 👉🏽
