What this video covers
Andy Schell and Mia Karlsson record their annual 59 North year-in-review podcast three months late, covering 2025 fleet statistics, passage highlights, and plans for the coming season.▶ 5:22 Across all boats — Falcon, Eastbjorn, Adrian, and Spica — the fleet logged 31,479 total miles and 201 days underway in 2025, which Andy identifies as a record year.▶ 7:04 Falcon alone sailed 18,404 miles, Eastbjorn 5,374.▶ 8:54 The fleet completed exactly 30 passages at an average speed of 6.1 knots.▶ 6:26 The longest single passage was Adrian's transatlantic from St. Martin, 3,206 miles in 17.5 days; the fastest average was a passage near Colombia at over 200 miles per day.▶ 12:44 Falcon's route ran from Portugal through the Atlantic to the Galapagos and onward to the Pacific, completing a Las Palmas–Antigua transatlantic in January before reaching the Galapagos by April.▶ 39:25 Andy notes new sails are being ordered for Falcon in Hawaii, omitting an upwind jib because it went unused all year.▶ 21:47 A new rig for Spica is also in progress, incorporating Rutgerson Marine hardware.▶ 1:06 Andy announces a celestial navigation workshop at J World in Annapolis and open berths on Pacific routes.▶ 4:34
