When we set sail in 2017, we knew we wanted to record our adventure but we struggled to find a way that worked for us or any books that recorded what we wanted to remember.
Along the way, we designed and published a range of Sailing Log Books using all the knowledge and experience we gained while sailing, and brainstorming how we wanted to record the trip.
We published four log books for sailing. Each has its own purpose and is very useful to have onboard. Check them out down below and let us know which works best for you!
We LOVE seeing them in action. One of the highlights of our voyage was meeting a couple from New Zealand (while in The Algarve, Portugal) who had purchased one of our Sailing Travel Journals to record their journey on their brand new Amel they'd collected that summer from La Rochelle in France. Thanks again Paul and Karen!
BONUS: Download our 'Family Life at Sea' book for free! It's a complication of interviews with eleven sailing mums who share their advice and anecdotes from sailing with their families. Get it here.
PERSONAL LOG BOOK
For the sailor who likes to sail on a variety of boats, for those working towards qualifications, for those who like to keep track of facts and figures - this one is for you!
SAILING LOG BOOK
This one is for those of you that enjoy tracking your voyages in much greater detail. It's got space to note down all the important facts and figures in columns and rows like a traditional sailing log book but you can tweak it to suit your needs using the empty columns left for this purpose.
BOAT MAINTENANCE LOG BOOK
For your pride and joy - your boat! This one has been designed to stay with one vessel. Keep on top of all the jobs and maintenance that are essential onboard to make sure your yacht is kept in tip-top condition.
SAILING TRAVEL JOURNAL
A cross between a diary and a log book. Keep an overview of your sails and the destinations you visit. Note down the facilities everywhere you go using a pre-printed checklist (I got SO excited when I came across a good shower at a marina when we first left 😂) yet still have space for writing all those important details of what you saw, what you ate, who you met etc.

FAMILY LIFE AT SEA
A collection of interviews with eleven sailing mums to inspire anyone who is thinking about sailing with their family. It's totally doable (although will require a few changes here and there!) There are some very funny anecdotes in here and a wide range of experiences.
