Our Tow Vehicle
It has taken us a long time to get the towing right with the S8. First, the Ranger wasn’t compliant. Then the Landcruiser was unstable. But we think we’ve perfected our tow vehicle:...

Bermagui in December 2017
It was a bit early in the season for marlin, but we made the trek to Bermagui in the middle of December 2017, for 10 days of fishing. It was a major birthday celebration, too, and so we had lots of our family and friends around us for the week. We also had the best weather that we’ve ever had on a trip to Bermgui – we were able to fish every day! We got lots of Kingfish, and lots of striped tuna, and even hooked one marlin! But we weren’t able......

Here are some highlights, though: Multiple hook-ups: Port Fairy in June Hooking but losing a barrel: Bring on tuna season in 2018!...

Launching the Sailfish S8 with a Boat Catch
When I was at the Sydney Boat Show with the Sailfish guys, one of the biggest questions I was asked was if I could get the boat on and off the trailer by myself. Well, I can, and mostly because of the Boat Catch. The Sailfish S8 and Boat Catch are a match made in heaven. I have a wire attached to the latch on my Boat Catch, so I can undo it once I’ve started the motors. Then I can easily back the boat off the trailer. When I reverse the......
