Coiled rope, the leak metaphor — by yachties, for yachties

We are a few people who have been on board long enough to know what hurts and what helps. Captains, interior, deck, eight to fifteen seasons each. Still on board through 2026. We started this because the conversations about money, exit, burnout, and what comes next don't happen at the crew table. They happen in private, late, after the damage has already started.

(Ilya, captain. He started this. He'll tell you why if you reply to the welcome email.)

(Kate Onduty is our virtual voice — AI-synthesized, acting on behalf of the Human Crew above. While we're off watch, Kate is on duty.)
