About A Rhumb Line- Straight answers for life on the water

A Rhumb Line is a member-supported publication for people who work on, live on, learn from, or are deeply drawn to the water. 
We write about sailing, seamanship, and the maritime world as it actually is—not as it’s marketed. This includes the skills, systems and experiences that shape life afloat. We also address the quieter lessons that only come from time, repetition, and responsibility on-the-water.

Clear, practical answers to common (and uncommon) maritime questions
Straight talk about operations, safety, maintenance, and decision-making
Insight into charter life, crew culture, and the realities behind the scenes

This publication is written by two people who have spent decades on the water—instructing, recreating, maintaining systems, working with crews & captains and navigating the complex realities of maritime life. 
So, step aboard, cast off the lines and prepare for a fun and informational experience.
