Sailing Red Sea's
Influencers Iain and Brioni (Sailing Red Seas) posted a YouTube video called “Sailing to a Dead End”. In this video they set out from Rangiroa, an island in the north of a string of atolls in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, with light wind forecasts expecting them to motor almost the whole way. After a freak storm wreaked havoc, damaging their beloved Indioko, they found themselves motoring dead into high winds and raging seas. but they were determined to discover their latest little slice of heaven.

Let’s get to know these couple of Reds!
Good things come to those who wait, or at least to those who search long enough to find them. Meet Iain and Brioni, a couple of redhead Scots who sold everything they owned to move halfway around the world to buy a boat they could call home. They have been sailing their 47T Catamaran for almost four years.
These two enthusiasts often find themselves in the most unusual circumstances, but that’s what makes their lives interesting. In 2023, they became the proud winners of the award for Best Emerging YouTube Channel, as they shared weekly episodes of their sailing travels around the world every Sunday. Living on a budget means they need to get creative about making their own repairs. They aim to explore the most remote parts of this beautiful world we call our home.

Let’s sail right into some of the products that are featured in this video, alongside some key benefits and information. If you haven’t watched it yet, SPOILER alert!
Revolve Boat Hook
Normally a boat hook would be a metal extendable aluminum bar or something with a plastic hook on the end that resembles a hook, which, let’s be honest is… BORING!
If you need a new boat hook, but don’t have the time to find one or you think maybe you just don’t have the space for one, well you are in for a BIG surprise… and who doesn’t love a good surprise?
Let us introduce to you the Revolve Boat Hook!
This rollable composite boat hook shrinks down to a tiny size, no bigger than a cup of coffee! The Revolve Boat Hook uses next-generation rollable composite technology to roll up for storage easily and quickly unroll for use, making it perfect for boats with small storage, or racing boats where space, weight, and size matters.
