Our Sailing Hideaway Blog and YouTube videos will remain active. Join the HideAways as we tell, through blog stories and videos, what life really is like on a small, 23' Com Pac sailboat. We'll show the joys, thrills and chills of the sailing life, but also what it takes to maintain a boat, trailer and truck. You are just as likely to learn how not to do something correctly as to do it right. That's important too! New! The Hideaways take to the road! Follow Traveling Hideaway: Winds of Wanderlust Transitioning from Sailing Hideaway to Traveling Hideaways as sailors learn to travel without heeling, well, not much, anyway. The Paint Wasters Society unlocks the art of paint squandering with sheer delight, free from the shackles of remorse or guilt. Trust me, a century down the line, nobody's going to bat an eyelash, so why not indulge in some paint splattering shenanigans today? Let's turn those pricey pigments into a canvas of laughter and joy.

Sailing HideAway A Dirty Little Day Sail



Have you ever wondered what sailing is really like.   I'm sure you've seen the videos of the flying racing sleds with mountains of water washing the deck every few seconds where speeds of 50kn are not unusual.

Well, that's not sailing- That's racing with a capital Yikes!  I know, I know- most sailors race, in probable fact that is what most sailors do.   We've tried racing on the HideAway and actually won a trophy after the only other 23 Com Pac in the race T-boned into the committee boat.   Usually though we just sail around the course and if the committee boat is still there we anchor for the party.

In this video, A Dirty Little Day Sail,  we show what sailing is really about.
