Prism is a Hans Christian 33T that has carried me ( Jon- Captain, Owner ) over tens of thousands of miles and through more than a decade of real-world sailing. What began in 2013 as a dream—to sail this boat across the Atlantic to Europe—is now becoming reality.
Prism is currently being prepared for a 2026 transatlantic crossing, heading east across the North Atlantic toward Europe. While I’ll take on crew at times for specific passages and instruction, this chapter is centered around solo sailing, decision-making, and the full responsibility that comes with it.
The YouTube channel is where this journey is told.
I’ll be continuing to document the voyage through a mix of present-day sailing and storytelling—blending real-time passages with flashbacks from Prism’s past expeditions. The goal is to create something deeper than weekly updates: a long-form, evolving story about the boat, the miles behind it, and the miles ahead.
If you want to follow along in a meaningful way, that’s the place to do it.
Beyond the storytelling, Prism is also a working platform.
Alongside the voyage, I offer:
-
Seamanship training and offshore mentorship
-
Boat systems consulting and refit guidance
-
Passage planning and expedition preparation
-
Cinematography and documentary production
Everything here is built on direct experience—over 30,000+ nautical miles, multiple ocean passages, and years of hands-on work refining this boat into a capable offshore vessel.
This site serves as a hub for all of it:
a living logbook, a project base, and a way to connect.
All previous writing and videos remain available as a resource for others pursuing a similar path.
If you’re new, start with the YouTube channel to understand the full story—where it began, and where it’s going next.
Prism is my home, my work, and the vehicle for a goal that’s been over a decade in the making.
Thanks for being part of it.
Fair winds and following seas,
Jon
