Complete Blueprint for Life at Sea

A comprehensive guide to living aboard by YouTube sailors Nick Fabbri and Terysa Vanderloo, sharing lessons from ten years afloat on Sailing Ruby Rose – from finances to emotional readiness.

Are you dreaming of an escape? Do the sea, faraway places and remote anchorages call to you? Have you wondered what liveaboard cruising life is really like?

British-Australian couple Nick Fabbri and Terysa Vanderloo untied from their home port of Conyer over a decade ago and have been liveaboard cruisers ever since. Sharing their journey through their popular YouTube channel Sailing Ruby Rose, the pair have shown the true highs and lows of life afloat.

In The Boat Life Manual, they share everything they’ve learned the hard way during ten years on the water. From the planning stages and financial considerations to the practicalities of boat choice, refits, equipment and emotional preparation, this book is a complete blueprint for modern #boatlife.
