If you're already an FTBMate use the login on the right and head to your Account Settings to upgrade your tier. If you're new and are not convinced, scroll down to the benefits of becoming an FTBMate. There's loads on offer! Subscription plans are under the benefits.

We have been blogging about sailing since 2002 and have uploaded over 300 videos to YouTube. Almost everything we do we do for free, but sometimes people like to show their appreciation for our hard work. FTBMates is our way of saying 'thank you' for your support.

Peace and fair winds!
