People and background

Ben Clardy

Tambi Clardy

Molly Clardy is their daughter who is home-schooled.

Boats and projects

The boats below are part of the channel’s earlier story; ownership and equipment may have changed since those episodes.

They have recently sold their old boat (an Endeavour 32 sailboat), and dedicated themselves to a new project.

The new boat is a Westsail 42.

Journeys and notable episodes

Places in the story

These locations refer to earlier episodes, not a live position.

They are in the United States and aren’t sailing anytime soon, but they are still uploading videos:

Earlier sailing journeys

Most of their cruising has been in The Bahamas, the Caribbean and the United States.

Collaborations

Apart from some videos with friends and family, I haven’t seen them with any other YouTubers.

If you’re seeking a very similar channel, then Sailing Britican also has a solo daughter on board.

Notable episodes

They haven’t really had any bad experiences in their 7 years on YouTube, apart from needing to be saved from a towboat. They haven’t drawn any criticism or drama from the cruising community either as they’re so down to earth.

Frequently asked questions

Which boat names appear in the story?

They don’t have a name for their new boat as yet.

Is there a verified net-worth figure?

No verified financial disclosure is cited in this profile. The earlier estimate has been removed because a boat’s value, video views and assumed income do not establish someone’s net worth.
