82. Shorthanded Sailing and a Changing Sailboat Market with John Neal

This week on the Liveaboard Sailing Podcast, John Neal from Mahina Offshore Services returns for another practical conversation—this time around shorthanded sailing.

We talk about why checklists matter, how good systems reduce stress offshore, and what sailors can do to make shorthanded sailing more efficient, safer, and less overwhelming.

We also shift into the current sailboat market, because for the first time in a while, there’s finally more to say than just prices are going up. We talk about what’s changing, what buyers and sellers should be paying attention to, and why the market conversation is becoming more interesting again.

A practical episode for anyone sailing with a small crew, planning bigger passages, or thinking through smarter boat decisions.

This podcast is brought to you with curiosity, kindness and a big sailing dream.
