Statement from the Engineer
Momo has been my home for around 25 years now. I have sailed her around the world, not so much on a journey but as a way of life. I see it as an adventurous lifestyle on a small footprint with immense personal freedom. It is also more accessible than people might think. I am building this website with this in mind. You won’t find any advertisements here or affiliate links; just honest, open-ended discussions about different aspects of liveaboard sailing. Subscribe to these pages to learn more.

Momo’s “new” galvanized steel rig is now more than two years old and has covered around 8,500 nautical miles. The rig is safer, stronger, and has less stretch than your typical rig made of stainless steel. And it cost a fraction of the price. Let me share how we got there.
When buying new rope, it makes sense to look outside the recreational marine industry.
