I’m genuinely humbled to see my book alongside so many titles I’ve learned from over the years.
As of yesterday, Be The Captain is now available directly from Paradise Cay: one of the most respected sailing publishers and bookstores in the world.
If you’ve spent time around serious sailors, you already know what that means. Paradise Cay doesn’t carry hype. They curate books that actually get used offshore. Bowditch, Chapman, Cornell, Kretschmer, Pardey, Moitessier… being listed alongside those names is a big moment for me.
I’m deeply grateful for the support from the sailing community, and for everyone who’s helped this book find its way into cockpits and nav stations around the world.
If you’re looking to grab a copy, please use the link in the bio.
Thank you.
@sailingzingaro - New ‘On the Wind’ podcast episode out with James Evenson, Andy and I met James in Annapolis during the show and recorded it in person, hope you enjoy! - Mia
“James Evenson, aka Sailing Zingaro on YouTube, has sailed tens of thousands of miles on a variety of boats and had countless adventures. Several of those adventures have ended either in disaster or heroics, depending on your perspective, and it got me wondering what is true seam’nship? James and I sat down face to face in Annapolis and had a ranging and thoughtful conversation on his life before sailing, what he learned in the Navy, how to make a living on YouTube and how to define the line between bravery and stupidity.”

"Born to Race, Built to Fail." ⛵️⚠️
I just published a deep dive into how a Beneteau’s glued-together construction nearly killed its delivery crew. This article is already taking off with 10k views in the first 48 hours because it touches on a scary reality in modern boat building.
This is the preamble to next week’s video, and trust me, it’s a doozy.

Last day at the Annapolis Boat Show!
We felt very honored to welcome James Evenson @sailingzingaro on board for a lovely chat and a tour through our well-traveled Sirius 35 DS — she’s come 11,500 nautical miles from Germany to Annapolis!
What a wonderful surprise to receive one of his books as a gift, complete with a personal dedication. Such a wealth of knowledge and inspiration in one volume — and we’re proud he took such genuine interest in our Sirius 35 DS.
Don’t miss your chance to come aboard today for the final day of the show — or book your private viewing and sea trial for the coming week!
