Exploration
Sailing Triteia
Solo passages aboard a vintage 30-foot sloop anchor a travelogue spanning ocean crossings, island cruising, repairs, and life in port. Recent films pair substantial long-form sailing episodes with refit updates and shore excursions across Thailand, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and the Indian Ocean. It suits viewers seeking a sustained personal sailing narrative with practical boat-ownership context; hazardous passages are best viewed as experience-led documentation rather than seamanship instruction.

Sailing Triteia: A Vintage Sloop’s Long Route Across Oceans
Main focus
James’s voyage aboard the 1965 Alberg 30, SV Triteia, unfolds as a continuing solo travelogue from Los Angeles through the Pacific, Australia and Southeast Asia. Sailing Triteia balances offshore passages with island stops, time in port, repairs and the realities of keeping an older boat moving.
Why it matters
Choose it for a long-running account of what it takes to move a small vintage sailboat across wide stretches of water while still making room for place and daily life. The route through Thailand, Sri Lanka, the Maldives and the Indian Ocean adds a clear sense of progression beyond isolated cruising films.
Style
Long-form voyage chapters carry the narrative, shifting between passage-making, refit work and shore excursions rather than separating travel from boat ownership. The personal, first-hand approach gives the series the feel of an ongoing logbook, with the vessel’s condition and each destination shaping the pace.
Consistency
A 613-video body of work supports a sustained voyage narrative, while recent releases combine longer sailing films with refit updates and excursions ashore. That mix keeps the focus on both travel and the maintenance demands of a vintage sloop.
- Solo offshore passages
- Vintage sailboat maintenance and refits
- Island cruising and life in port
- Ocean-crossing travel
- Southeast Asia and Indian Ocean destinations
- Practical realities of small-boat ownership
Editorial note
Offshore passages, storms and repair work are best watched as personal documentation; use current seamanship guidance, local conditions and qualified marine advice for decisions on the water or aboard a boat.
