Exploration
Sailing Triteia
James chronicles a gradual circumnavigation aboard Triteia, a vintage 1965 Alberg 30 sloop, following a route from Los Angeles through the Pacific, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Sailing Triteia’s distinctive value is its continuing, place-to-place record of long-range small-boat travel rather than a single destination-focused series. It suits viewers interested in sailing passages, cruising life, and the practical rhythms of sustained ocean exploration. Offshore travel carries inherent risks, so viewers should treat any practical lessons as context-specific.

Sailing Triteia: A Vintage Sloop’s Long Way Around
Main focus
Sailing Triteia follows James’s gradual circumnavigation aboard a 1965 Alberg 30 sloop. The journey traces a route from Los Angeles through the Pacific, Australia and Southeast Asia, keeping the changing realities of small-boat travel at its centre.
Why it matters
Anyone drawn to the real pace of cruising can follow one voyage across many ports and passages rather than dip into isolated destination stories. The long-running route gives everyday life aboard, ocean crossings and regional transitions room to matter.
Style
A first-person voyage journal shapes the experience, with the boat itself providing a consistent thread between distant places. The emphasis is on sustained travel and the practical rhythms of living afloat, not a single short-term sailing challenge.
Consistency
The voyage’s route supplies a clear throughline: each new region becomes part of a continuing circumnavigation aboard the same vintage boat. Its broad archive suits viewers who prefer following an unfolding journey over time.
- Long-distance small-boat travel
- Life aboard a vintage sloop
- Pacific island passages
- Ocean crossings and route changes
- Cruising through Australia and Southeast Asia
- The day-to-day rhythm of circumnavigation
Editorial note
Offshore sailing decisions depend on weather, vessel condition, local rules and crew experience. Treat practical takeaways as personal voyage context, and consult current charts, forecasts and qualified guidance before going afloat.
