Trim Sailing

Trim Sailing We are Alex and Agata, sailors and partners in every sense. We're circumnavigating and living aboard Trim, a boat we restored ourselves.

We host sailing expeditions and share our hard-earned knowledge to help others make the leap to a life at sea.

Contrary to popular… most sailors get seasick from time to time ⛵️

We’ve been living aboard since 2013 and have logged more than 50,000 offshore nautical miles. Yes... we still get seasick sometimes.

Very few sailors are completely immune to seasickness. The difference isn’t just genetics (although they certainly play a role). It’s also passage planning, good tactics, and healthy choices.

Here are the five things that have made the biggest difference for us:

🌊 Understanding sea state and swell
💨 Picking the right weather window
😴 Looking after our bodies before departure
💊 Understanding when medication can help
⚓ Being patient while getting our sea legs back after a longer break

Now we’re curious...
What’s your best tip for managing seasickness?

Leave a comment. We’d love to hear what works for you.

We spent months planning a route that would take us from Australia to Thailand before the end of the year.

4-5 months to sail over 5,000 nautical miles

Reasonable, on paper.
In practice, not so much.

Endless rain, mountain of land belongings to sort through, boat projects waiting for dry weather.

Thankfully we had a backup plan ready.

So, just weeks before departure, we changed our route, before the voyage even begun.

If you like life-changing sailing adventures, impossible boat restorations and living life outside of the comfort zone – Hi! Let’s be friends, there is a lot more to come! ⛵️ 🌞

In 2023, Alex sailed across the Pacific Ocean as a part of the plan to bring Trim back from US to Australia. He sailed solo from Panama to Fiji — over 6,500 nautical miles and 44 days at sea. 🌊⛵

From leaving the lights of Panama City behind, to crossing paths with whales, dolphins, penguins and seabirds in the middle of nowhere, this voyage was full of moments that felt unreal.

Some highlights:
• Galápagos Islands wildlife encounters
• Breathtaking landfall in Fatu Hiva, French Polynesia
• Catching lots of fish between on the way to Fiji
• Company of 30+ false killer whales
• Reunion with Agata in Savusavu

This delivery-style crossing came with compromises: staying apart and rushing through some of the most amazing places on the planet but it was all part of the plan to bring Trim back home.

Now we’re getting reading for the biggest voyage yet, this time together.

We disappeared from Instagram for 4 years… and now we’re back. 👀

From 2017–2021, we sailed Trim from Europe to the US, then rebuilt it from the hull up.

🤔 What followed?

A not-so-celebratory finale to a very successful restoration project. This and a complete 180-degree change in our lives.
With everything upside down and an uncertain future for Trim ahead, we moved offline to sort it all out.

In that time:
- Got married.
- Built new careers in Sydney.
- Found life beyond the boat project.
- Alex sailed Trim solo across the Pacific, from Panama to Fiji.

🌎 However, we’re now approaching a full-circle moment.

This year, we’re setting sail again: continuing our circumnavigation aboard Trim, this time on a leg from Sydney back to Europe.

We want to bring you with us. 👋🏻

If you’ve ever dreamed about:
· Quitting the 9–5 for something bigger
· Sailing to remote, wild places
· Rebuilding a life from scratch (literally)
· Or just taking a different path…

🤗 We think you’ll enjoy following this journey.

💬 In the comments:
- let us know if you’ve been here since the beginning,
- or say hi if you’re new here.

We’re excited to have you all aboard ⛵️
