Solo sailor James details his experience refitting and sailing a 1965 Alberg 30 sloop, Triteia, during a presentation at the Richmond Yacht Club.6:59 After purchasing the neglected vessel in 2017, he completed a solo circumnavigation covering 16,510 nautical miles and 232 anchorages. He emphasizes the necessity of maintaining a calm, calculated response to emergencies, citing a 2021 incident 1,000 miles from Hawaii where a submerged container severed the bronze tiller rod from the rudder.14:12 Unable to repair the rudder underwater, he successfully steered the boat for 1,000 miles by lashing the spinnaker pole aft and using sheets to control a drogue.18:28 He advocates for modern, flexible watchkeeping schedules over traditional methods and argues against using Starlink on ocean crossings to preserve the experience of solitude.10:51 While he finds ocean sailing best suited for solo travel, he notes that coastal cruising is more rewarding when shared with others.24:30
