The Rival 34 is a Peter Brett-designed masthead sloop, built by Southern Shipbuilding and Marine Construction Ltd. from 1972 to the present, featuring a fin keel with a rudder on skeg. With an LOA of 10.4 meters, a beam of 3.0 meters, and a draft of 1.8 meters, it displaces 5397 kg. Aboard *The Sailing Brothers*' boat *Atlas*, the crew undertakes extensive passages, including a 47-mile transit in the Bahamas in 18-to-25-knot winds and a 300-mile journey from New Plymouth to New Zealand's northern tip through gale-force conditions and confused seas.19:02 They manage sail plans by reefing the main and furling the genoa as conditions fluctuate, and use washboards to seal the boat against heavy cockpit-washing swells.1:54 The crew navigates challenging areas like the Tweed Heads bar by timing arrivals for high tide and avoids commercial cray pots by maintaining a wide berth.11:00 They also undertake long-term voyages, such as sailing the east coast of Australia toward Darwin and planning an Indian Ocean crossing, often relying on local water sources due to the boat's age.1:02
