Practical Sailor made a wise choice.
Great video Tim, informative, personal, funny, relevant. I think Practical Sailor is very lucky to have your help to liven up and digitize. Great work!
The Westerbeke on our 1998 380 just took us around the Great Loop, so no complaints. Sure, it's a 25 year old engine with 3,500 hours and has 25 year old engine issues occasionally (transmission shifter seal, corroded transmission cooler), but we maintain it well and it has never let us down!
I have subscribed to Pratical Sailor magazine because I am a Lady K. fan! Tim is the best!!
me to
same here
A complete circumnavigation of the three media! As 1st, you'll get to invent the ceremony ofc. =)⚓
me too!
long time lady K follower. Good to see you're committed to expanding and modernizing an already amazing publication. Fair winds!
I love our Catalina 380 featured in this video (Double Dutch).
We have no problem storing our nested Magma pot set under the sink, along with bowls, and a salad spinner. Frying pans lean up against the hot water reservoir under the sink and are fitted perfectly with the size of our stove top burners. We also have a shelf in front of the hot water reservoir that stores all of our kitchen utensils in a plastic Tupperware. I have a spot for everything.
My husband, who's 6'6" and I 5'8" can both sleep comfortably in the vberth. In the aft cabin we sleep with our heads at the engine end to maximize on space and leave our feet at the shallower end.
Great boat!
Jennifer
We store our nested Magma pot set in the oven, but we have to move the rack from the regular position to the oven floor so it fits.
Another excellent video Tim. Good luck in your PS journey!
I owned a new Jeanneau SO 36i for 11 years. I was a Practical Sailor subscriber for 12 years. I must have reread each issue several times. It was my first boat, and Practical Sailor was my best friend and mentor. Thank you. Now I am waiting for my Nordhavn 475.
Great to see, Tim, that you've joined with Practical Sailor! I've been enjoying your Lady K boat reviews on CZcams and, like yourself, for years I've enjoyed Practical Sailor each month, it's essential reading for every sailboat owner, in my opinion.
This may turn into one of our favorite channel's , right along with Lady K Sailing .
So, I'm in land locked Islamabad, Pakistan and never miss an episode of Lady K ... and now we'll get to see more of Tim in Practical Sailor as well... what a bonus!
Congratulations on the association with Practical Sailor, Tim.
I watch your channel almost daily, PS couldn't have found a better editor-in-chief!
Tim, you are a great presenter. As a small boat sailor keeping his eye on a future sailboat for cruising I very much appreciate your content.
Same here. Currently a dinghy sailor (Precision P15) but thinking about the "go small go now" school of thought.
Congrats on the job! The CZcams algorithm just put this video and channel in front of me, and now I’m subscribed. Looking forward to more from Lady K at the helm.
The honest, pros and cons are so very reassuring. Thank you Tim!
Hi TIm. We consulted with you last year and you were a big help. Definitely worth the money. We purchased a 2000 C380 with the Yanmar. I was not interested if it had a Westerbeke. We have had it since August and we love the boat. I looked at a lot of different boats before we narrowed it down. Besides the engine there were several other reasons we chose it. We wanted a separate shower, a Nav Desk with a chair, a 3-burner stove and the company was still in business. Most of all was the queen sized bed with access on both sides. We even looked at a C42 at your suggestion. Even though it was bigger inside, it didn't have a separate shower that you could stand up in. I always make sure I don't miss your videos.
Love it Tim. Thank you. Three Tim a week. Couldn’t be better.
As an avid sailor and owner of a Catalina 30 that I refurbished and is now the pride of the marina. I wouldn’t mind being considered to provide content.
Tim, Congrats on the new job! Perfect fit, I’m so glad.
As a want to be sailor, (retired ) I really appreciate all the detailed and insightful information. I watched the video twice. Thanks!
Hi, not retired quite yet, but also a wannabe sailor. I've done some sailing but not enough to consider myself experienced. Good luck with your ambitions.
Lady K and Practical Sailer. Perfect match! Subscribing was a no-brainer. Congratulations to PS and you.
I own a 1999 Catalina 380 with the Westerbeke 42B I have 1100 hrs on it, starts right up and Ive never had any problems with it. The key with any marine diesel is regular maintenance.
Good stuff! I'm a veteran sailor and hear the truth in everything you say...keep up the good work!
Excellent! Tim, I feel that Practical Sailor have chosen the right person for the job. Congratulations again. Happy Sailing⛵.
Such a well thought, well edited video. I appreciate your good grammer and moderate consideration of multiple factors too! Thank you for putting this together!
Great job Tim! thanks for the head room measurement! Its an important detail that gets left out a lot on boat reviews!
6'9" headroom in most of the main salon. V-berth has about 6'4". Aft cabin has 2 spots that are 6'9". Head, and even the shower has 6'9" headroom. We love using the shower. I'm 6'6", so I notice and appreciate the headroom. Big selling feature for me.
It's good to see you again!
I appreciate all you do for all sailors new and experienced 🍻
Keep these videos coming! This is gonna be an awesome channel
Congratulations on the new channel- excellent as always ❤️
Great vlog, im glad I included this channel to my favs. Good luck for the future.
I've loved and subscribed to practical sailor for years. Fan to Tim videos about a year ago. What a great marriage.
Yay! Lady K sailing on the practical sailor!! Couldn’t ask for better!
Really appreciate the boat reviews. Keep em' coming
Now I have 2 channels to get excited about every week! Always interesting and 'practical' information on both. Love what you do and thankful you have the opportunity to stretch your wings even wider
Hey Tim, love your videos and this series looks like it will be a great one! Keep up the good work!
Tim always presents the best content. Looking forward to more.
Long time Practical Sailor reader. Glad to the the new content Tim! Looking forward to more.
Suggested topic: Anchors, Chains (the ones that don't rust), and Windlass. Being able to anchor without stress is huge and usually overlooked at how important it is by new sailors. How much chain, how heavy and what type of anchor, what type and pros and cons of different types of windlass? Thanks in Advance!
Please cover the hoast of navigation options...navionics on tablet, stand alone, garmin, or BG, etc..or seapilot, or other latest great apps...
Since technology is changing quickly, a step by step guide to making the navigation options work on a tablet would be most useful to a DYI boater. Thanks
It's great to see Tim's knowledge put to work for Practical Sailor. I've been a big fan of your other channels and you have a way of presenting information that really appeals to the everyday (or potential) sailor .
What a great video! Thank you for all of it. We are looking forward to seeing more from you and Practical Sailor. -- Phil & Kay
Great to see you over on Practical Sailor. Really enjoy your wealth of knowledge.
A GREAT first start!! Thanks!!

Hey Tim! Great to see you here now! Congrats!
Wow, strong start to a new era. I'm looking forward to more like this!
Helpful video Tim!! Well Done!
Great video, and glad to see you at Practical Sailor. They are lucky to have you, Tim!
Great job Tim, like always, good quality content. Keep up the good work!
Great video Tim looking forward to more content!
Looking forward to what this channel can do. So much good information it the archives.
Thanks Tim. Subscribed. Good job bringing Practical Sailor to forefront of boating media.
Way to go, Tim! Liked, subscribed, and now commented as requested. Keep it up!
Great reviews. Keep up the good work!
I’ve been subscribed to PS CZcams channel and have waited for years for this day to come! What a great supplement to the print edition!
Really enjoyed it I'll be watching
Hey Tim, great job on the first episode!!! Looking forward to everything to follow!!!
Great review and channel. I learned a lot. You have a great style and delivery! Thank you!
Great video!
Great video Tim!!! Nice to see your story telling didnt change from your own channel. I tend to appreciate the way you get information across, easily to the point and makes me want to listen to your opinion. PS should be a good fit for you, looking forward to more videos.
Great to see you in the Practical Sailor crew, Tim. I think that your presentations will bring PS nicely into the digital scene. Looking forward to much more!
beautifully crafted great humour thanks Tim love your work :)
Amazing layout, really enjoy the comments from other owners on the boat. This is a much better boat review then the typical "Here is the bed" layout.
Can't wait for the next show
Thanks you answered my question on a high hour Westerbeke engines . I posted it on Lady K but you covered it
Great informative video. Hope this channel grows keep Tim busy:)
I have a new favorite sailing channel, thanks Tim.
Wow great episode Tim ,
Great video Tim and glad to see you here!
Hey, thanks!
Excellent video. Thanks for the shout out. I really enjoyed the conversation with you leading up to the video. We absolutely love out 1999 380. Really looking forward to new PS CZcams channel.
I'm thinking Tim will be appearing in Catalina 380 garb! Great review, Sir. Always nice to see an episode with good comparisons for a specific price range of yacht. Thank you.
Congratulations on the new gig, well deserved!
Dude, u r killing it
I love the really helpful straight foward info. "Bang for the buck" is important. Thanks.
Great video Tim. Thank you.
Just the comparison of boat size and options that we are considering. Most helpful!
Wicked Tim. Great job and good luck to the new venture.... Love the waste basket story.
Great video, been watching your Lady K. channel for over a year now and love it. This content with Practical Sailor with comparisons to other boats in the class is perfect. I've only owned a Coronado 27 and a Catalina 27, but when the day comes to get a big boat I will be following your advise .
Great review! Very thorough
Tim, like the new look. As always thank you for insights.
Love the new channel. I would love to see a video of sailing in Europe
Hey Tim, great to see you moving forward with this channel. Congrats!.. I would love to see a history/ model availability of the Farrier/ Corsair marine trailerable trimaran.
Congrats on the new channel Tim 👏subscribed
Starting to research if we want a sailboat to spend our retirement around the great lakes. I've found Tim to give excellent reviews and opinions. Thank you, and subscribed.
Love Practical Sailor, I just wish I had more time to read each issue. Congrats on the new gig Tim, I became a C&C owner thanks to your video.
gratz on the new job, been watching lady K for quite a while. looking forward to the new content that's fueled by the additional resources you'll get by having the backing of Practical sailor.
This is exactly the size and age of boat my wife and I are looking at getting for our first boat.
Thank you for the info!
Already a subscriber for years, appreciate all the good info received through those years. Own a C&C 30-2 Racer Cruiser, been up and
down the middle Atlantic coast, NH to S NC on 3 week cruises. Reserved 45+ footers for bare boating in BVIs. Less expense, more fun
Tim, congratulations on this transition. Your experience as a life long racer and cruiser on a budget brings a broad experience to Practical Sailor’s digital endeavor.
I enjoy your presentations because they are balanced and you avoid injecting personal conformational bias. Practical Sailor, my favorite sailing publication, will be well served by their choice of bringing you aboard their team. 👍
Great job and good luck to the new venture
Congrads on you new gig!!! Well deserved addition to PS. Been following you for over 4 years on Lady K and you by far are the most practical, no nonsense information source for any money. Sure would like two new episodes: 1) Universal Diesels, pros, cons, tips (especially model 25 maintenance, diagnosis), and 2) Ericson, specifically 34-2 late 80's (I'm looking hard at one to upgrade from my 84 Catalina 30). Lastly, congrads to PS management for their wisdom in hiring the best sailor for the job!
Great video. I'm new to sailing and have followed Lady K. Great to discover Practical Sailor and all it has to offer.
Great fit Practical Sailor ! An editor- in- chief that gets it!
Just subscribed. Looking forward to the content you provide.
Nice review Tim keep up the good work.
Man it's impressive to see someone with so much knowledge on boats!!! You are perfect for the job and we love hearing your opinions, keep up the good work! You did an episode on James Wharram and his boats. I would love to see more content on wharram boats!
Nice 😂see you on Practical Sailor - looking forward for your weekly videos
Been awhile since I ordered PS, but I have follwed you for years. I’m a fan and am signing back up for PS. I am on my 5th boat and it’s a Cataliina 400. We love it!
This is great! Thank you Tim
Congrats on the launch, Tim!
Very helpful i have the 36ft Catalina she sail very well
