Lady K Sailing: Everything You Wanted To Know

Everything you always wanted to know.

Joshua Smith

Founder and Editor at Cruising Freedom

This is the definitive guide on Lady K Sailing for 2023.

Over the last 2 years, I have spent 21 hours watching and researching everything I could about Lady K Sailing to learn more about their story.

(Yes, I really am *that* obsessed with Tim Labute and his wife 😃)

If you wanted to know:

➜ How Lady K Sailing afforded their boat

➜ How they make their money today

➜ What boat do they have and its upgrades

➜ Who the Lady K Sailing wife is

➜ How you can start crossing oceans

Then you’ve definitely come to the right place.

Before we start, a quick introduction from me…

The Cruising Freedom Author

Ahoy, Matey! I’m Joshua from Australia.

I’ve built the perfect business to sail the world.

A business model which can allow me to:

➜ Own a catamaran debt-free

➜ Go for weeks without WIFI

➜ Create semi-passive income

➜ Inspire others to dream big

But more on that later… 🙂

Lady K Sailing FAQs (April 2023)

Crew members.

Tim Labute (age 36)

Candice Labute (age 34)

1980 Hughes 35. Previously this was called a Northstar 1500. It’s a Sparkman and Stephens design and is designed for racing and cruising alike. Tim is a racer at heart which is why he lives in a normal house and cruises part-time.

They have owned this boat now for 6 years.

Their yacht was in a sad state of affairs when they first bought their yacht. In that time, they have upgraded Lady K with:

➜ Upgraded Volvo MD2030 diesel engine (saildrive)

➜ ST4,000+ autopilot and Garmin GPS

According to Instagram, they are in Light House Cove, Florida. This is a popular place for part-time cruisers.

They have been covering a ton of content about affordable sailing yachts:

Past Cruising

Lady K Sailing has mostly sailed in the United States and South America.

Unlike other channels, they focus on knowledge and feature unique boats, as well as though that have succumbed to the weather, bureaucracy or other channels in their trip around the world.

Affording It

Tim and his wife Candice worked for years to save up enough to purchase their current boat. Tim was an office manager while Candice was in the food and entertainment industries.

Making Loot

It’s hard to know exactly how much Tim makes from YouTube and I highly doubt he does this for the money. He’s simply a helpful sailor who’s always keen to share his knowledge.

If I had to guess, I’d say around $3,500 per month. His income is generated through:

➜ Patreon subscribers

➜ Donations

➜ YouTube advertising revenue

In addition, Tim still does some freelance work.

Collaborations

As far as I’ve seen, they haven’t really been a channel that has collaborated with others. They’re less about the lifestyle and more about the commentary. That’s not a bad thing as I’ve personally learned a ton these last few years.

Big Moments

Sailing hasn’t been easy for this couple. Their worst experience was almost sinking and calling the Coast Guard helicopter:

Aside from that, it’s been seeing other cruisers getting into strife.

Future Plans

Where to next? I’m looking forward to Tim and Candice heading out for an extended period now that international borders are mostly open.

Key Takeaways

Tim and his wife use the following mantra:

➜ Go simple

…and I absolutely agree!

It’s hard to argue against the knowledge that Tim brings to his channel. Unlike many of the ‘chicks for clicks’ channels I’ve covered, he’s clearly not here for the fame and attention.

I always come away learning more about mechanical and electrical components that I’ll use for years to come. Aside from SV Delos , there are very few channels sharing this same knowledge.

So from one cruising enthusiast to another, he’s one I definitely salute!

Create Your Own Cruising Freedom

Hey! 😃 it’s Joshua again…

Clearly I’ve been very inspired by Lady K Sailing and their travels…

Some say I’m obsessed, but sailing the world is my childhood dream.

They’re living the dream, but that dream isn’t actually that far away.

I mentioned earlier about discovering the #1 cruising business model.

With this exciting opportunity, I’ll be able to:

➜ Generate a sustainable full-time income through learning basic skills

➜ Fund the purchase of my first sailing catamaran without any loans

➜ Do it without selling to friends and family (I found a better solution!)

➜ Share my lifetime passion for sailing, cruising and global adventures

LADY K 77' (23.47m) Marten Marine Yacht for Sale

Posted August 24, 2023 in Brokerage & New Build by Ashleigh King

The 77’ (23.47m) Marten Marine-built LADY K is now for sale with Yacht Broker Brian Commette. The luxury sailing yacht is asking $1,800,000.

LADY K is a true “go anywhere” yacht crafted to the highest standards by Marten Yachts in New Zealand. Naval architecture, interior design and engineering were done by Bill Tripp, Jr. Martin Yachts’ history in producing America’s Cup contender vessels is a testament to the capabilities, comfort and performance of LADY K. She combines strength and minimal weight and her carbon fiber main and mizzen masts, crafted by Martin Marine / Southern Spars were equipped with ECSix standing rigging in 2021. The boom furling system ensures efficient sail control and seamless reefing, while the low-aspect ketch rig provides versatility in sail options.

With her lifting keel, (6’8” draft) LADY K has access to the most coveted and inviting anchorages worldwide.

With accommodations for up to eight guests in four cabins and a crew of two, LADY K ensures a comfortable sailing experience. Three guest cabins are aft and the owner’s cabin is full beam with a centerline queen berth, a small settee and separate head and shower compartments.

The sailing yacht’s interior was thoughtfully designed to feature an abundance of natural light and a relaxed layout, perfect for socializing. The forward-facing navigation and helm station offer prime visibility, while the raised dinette acts as the prime conversation or dining area. To port is an additional settee and the lower salon and galley are centrally located with overhead glass.

LADY K’s exterior, penned by Bill Tripp, combines modern with classic. Her profile is just as elegant as it is functional. Twin staircases lead to a swim step with toy storage. The cockpit, featuring dual helms and a central table, offers protection and clear visibility. LADY K’s exterior decks are low-maintenance with no woodwork or teak, ensuring safety and practicality. Wide, uncluttered side decks and hidden tender storage streamline launch and retrieval.

Detailed information.

Content Sections

LADY K has taken her owners approximately 220,000 miles through every ocean on the planet in comfort and safety, routinely covering 200 miles per day and frequently far more. Her lifting keel allows brilliant upwind performance and, when retracted, allows access to the most desirable harbors and anchorages.

There is no exterior teak. Maintenance has been easy but scrupulous. LADY K shows no evidence of her miles or age. Redundancy is a theme: autopilots, radars, plotters and spares. This is a sailing yacht that is ready to circumnavigate again, needing only provisions.

Designer's notes:

This 77 ft. (23.4m) fully custom yacht is designed for unlimited blue water cruising, with an emphasis on passages and autonomy in remote places such as the Pacific atolls. Lady K is one of numerous “off-road” boats” by Tripp Design and is still in the hands of her original owner.

LADY K is in pristine condition, benefitting from a comprehensive re-fit at Pendennis Shipyard in 2015/16 and a second thorough yard period in 2020.

She is light displacement design with fully cored Aramid/E-glass construction. Kevlar was chosen for maximal impact strength. For ease of maintenance while traversing the globe, Lady K does not have teak decks and any exterior woodwork. She does, however, have an engine room with standing headroom and a workbench as well as a layout that allows access and service to all equipment.

Being purpose built, she has many features to support distance sailing and easy handling by a small crew. The centered cockpit is very well protected, with shelter behind the raised pilot house. She is particularly good for sailing at night or under adverse conditions with all winches, furlers and sail functions controlled from the cockpit. The cockpit is directly accessed from the Pilot House and the boat can be handled from the inside steering station.

The absence of any backstays on the swept spreader ketch rig allows full roach main and mizzen sails. These sails are easy to control, and reef very well with the furling boom systems. As a ketch, all the sailing loads are lower than a sloop and the boat heels less. The boat is very fast with eased sheets, reaching and running with the ability to fly numerous sail combinations safely and easily. On a beam reach, in 15 knots true, LADY K will easily see 11+ knots and will sail upwind at 34 degrees apparent.

The jet tender lives in a well on the large aft deck for easy deployment and allows the transom garage to be used for storage of all necessary gear and toys. The transom steps allow safe and easy access to the boat by tender, without having to deploy a transom door.

The centerpiece of the design is the upper salon and helm station which are raised above the engine space. Extensive curved (chemically strengthened and laminated) glass provides panoramic views. Below deck, the boat has been thoughtfully laid out for blue water cruising. Aft of the engine space are two guest cabins, a laundry space and a spacious owner’s stateroom. Forward is an open galley and lower salon with abundant seating. Fully forward there is an office desk as well as an additional guest cabin and crew quarters. Here too the boat has been beautifully maintained, and her gleaming woodwork belies her age. Under the care of this experienced owner, Lady K has truly only improved since her launching…

Lady K is an exceptional composite sailing yacht with a lifting keel. She was designed by Tripp Yacht Design and built in New Zealand in 2002 for unlimited-range blue-water cruising, in particular transpacific sailing. Lady K has cruised Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, sailed across the Indian and Atlantic oceans to Rio, explored the Caribbean and Baltic seas as well as Alaska. The vessel boasts carbon rigs and exceptionally large roaches, with highly swept spreaders that support the rigs. As well as the Owner’s cabin aft, there is accommodation in three guest cabins plus crew quarters forward. The deckhouse contains a raised saloon and helm station above the central engine space. Lady K arrived at Pendennis in November 2014, with her six-month refit in Falmouth being the longest the yacht had spent out of the water since her launch. The refit involved fitting a new genset and bow thruster, stripping down the hydraulics, renewing the seals for the lift-keel ram and painting her topsides. Lady K’s global exploration continued as soon as she left the yard, meeting her Owner for a Scottish cruise in late June, following which the yacht sailed north of Norway to the Lofoten Islands within the Arctic Circle.

2 Americans, U.K. tech mogul among 6 missing after yacht sinks off Sicily

Rome  — Six people, including two U.S. nationals, a British technology entrepreneur and one of his daughters, were still missing Tuesday after a large luxury sailing yacht sank off the coast of the southern Italian island of Sicily during a violent storm. The 184-foot Bayesian had been anchored about half a mile off the port of Porticello, near Palermo, with 22 people on board — 10 crew members and 12 passengers.

The vessel sank at about 5 a.m. local time (11 p.m. Eastern, Sunday) after being hit by a possible waterspout spawned by the storm. Italian media said the winds snapped the boat's single mast, unbalancing the vessel and causing it to capsize.

Fifteen of those on board managed to escape the yacht and were rescued by a Dutch-flagged vessel that was anchored in the immediate vicinity. They were brought ashore by Italian Coast Guard and firefighters.

One body — an unidentified male — was recovered, but six people remained missing, including British software magnate Mike Lynch, once described as Britain's Bill Gates. 

Lynch was acquitted in June of fraud charges in the U.S. that could have landed him with a decades-long prison sentence. In an unusual twist, Lynch's co-defendant in that fraud case, who was also acquitted, died Saturday after being hit by a car while out jogging in England.

Lynch's teenage daughter Hannah was also among those missing, along with Lynch's American lawyer Chris Morvillo, a former assistant district attorney in New York, and his wife Neda. British banker Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of Morgan Stanley International, was also still missing Tuesday.

Among the survivors was a 1-year-old British girl who was being treated at a nearby hospital along with her parents. They were doing well, according to Italian media.

"For two seconds I lost my child to the sea, then I immediately was able to grab her again in the fury of the waves," the girl's mother, identified only as Charlotte, was quoted as saying by Italy's ANSA news agency. "I held on to her tightly in the stormy sea. Many were screaming. Luckily the life raft opened up and 11 of us managed to get aboard."

"It was terrible," she told ANSA. "In just a few minutes the boat was hit by a very strong wind, and sunk soon thereafter."

Karsten Borner, the captain of the Dutch vessel that came to the rescue, told ANSA he had been anchored near the Bayesian.

"When the storm was over we noticed that the ship behind us was gone, and then we saw a red flare, so my first mate and I went to the position and we found this life raft drifting, and in the life raft was also a little baby and the wife of the owner."

Recovery efforts were back underway Tuesday, with speedboats, helicopters and divers continuing to search for the missing — as well as for answers, as to how a state-of-the-art superyacht could disappear in a flash. 

According to Italian media, Fire Brigade divers reached the boat and saw bodies trapped inside some of the cabins, but they had been unable to recover any of the victims from inside the vessel by Tuesday, due to obstructions. The Bayesian appeared to have sunk in an area with a depth of about 160 feet.

Witnesses said the boat sank quickly. 

"I was at home when the tornado hit," fisherman Pietro Asciutto told a local news outlet. "I immediately closed all the windows. Then I saw the boat, it had only one mast, it was very large. I suddenly saw it sink... The boat was still floating, then suddenly it disappeared. I saw it sink with my own eyes."

The director-general of Sicily's civil protection agency, Salvatore Cocina, confirmed to CBS News partner BBC News  that three of the six people still missing Monday were British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, whose company Autonomy Corporation PLC was acquired in 2011 by HP ; one of his daughters, Hannah Lynch, who is believed to be 18; and the boat's chef, Ricardo Thomas.

CBS News has seen corporate documentation showing a company called Revtom, solely owned by Lynch's wife Angela Bacares, who was among those rescued from the accident, as the owner of the yacht that capsized off Sicily. 

While the yacht was a privately owned pleasure boat, the waters around the island have claimed many lives over the last decade.

Dozens of migrants have died attempting to reach Sicily and smaller Italian islands in the region. Sicily sits only about 100 miles from the east coast of Tunisia in north Africa, and the Mediterranean crossing has been a frequent site of both nautical rescues and disasters as smugglers routinely send small boats overloaded with desperate people into the sea.

CBS News' Chris Livesay in Rome and Joanne Stocker in London contributed to this report.

4 bodies found inside the Bayesian, Mike Lynch family yacht, amid search

Four bodies were recovered inside the Bayesian superyacht on Wednesday, more than two days after it sank off the coast of Italy , setting off an exhaustive search for six missing people, including British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch .

Two of the bodies discovered earlier on Wednesday were brought to shore. One body recovered was a heavily built man, Reuters reported.

Six of the ship's 22 passengers, including Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter, went missing after the yacht plunged under the water just before 5 a.m. on Monday as a storm swept across the area. Americans are among the missing, officials have said.

The U.K.-registered yacht belonged to Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, who was also on board and was rescued. The tech tycoon was recently acquitted on fraud charges after a year under house arrest.

Ricardo Thomas, the ship's cook, was found dead on Monday, according to the coast guard.

The rescue mission saw a diving team, helicopters and multiple coast guard ships deployed to search the water. Fifteen people were pulled from the water on Monday, and eight were hospitalized in stable condition.

A 'black swan event'? Experts puzzle over why Bayesian yacht sank

An investigation opened by local prosecutors into the cause of the disaster is ongoing. Experts have pointed to a water spout, a tornado over the water that can travel up to 120 mph, that formed during the storm, as well as the heavy weight of ship's mast, one of the largest in the world.

The 184-feet-long ship was made by Italian ship manufacturer Perini in 2008.

Lynch set off on the cruise late last month to celebrate his acquittal on fraud charges in the U.S. that marked a decade of legal challenges, the Associated Press reported .

One of his lawyers and a character witness for Lynch during the trial were also on board and vanished when the boat went down. Authorities have not yet disclosed the identities of the four people found.

Here are the passengers who were declared missing.

Mike Lynch and Hannah Lynch

Mike Lynch, 59, is co-founder of Britain’s largest enterprise software, Autonomy, which was sold to Hewlett-Packard in 2011, and founder of venture capital fund Invoke Capital. 

Sometimes known as “Britain’s Bill Gates,” Lynch was slapped with charges after HP said it had uncovered deceit and a major accounting scandal within the firm. He spent a year on house arrest after being extradited from the UK.

In early June, at the end of a 12-week trial, a San Francisco jury acquitted Lynch of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. He was also cleared on a charge of securities fraud later that month.

Lynch and Bacares have two daughters and six dogs, all named after engineering parts, according to the U.K.’s Sunday Times in a profile of Lynch from last month.

Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah, was also among the missing. She was preparing to study English literature at Oxford University, according to the Sunday Times. 

Hannah is the younger of Mike Lynch’s two daughters, the Times reported . Mike Lynch told the outlet that his daughters had grown up with their father being publicly accused of fraud. 

Jonathan Bloomer and Judy Bloomer

Jonathan Bloomer is the non-executive chairman of both Morgan Stanley International and the insurer Hiscox, among other companies. Bloomer acted as a character witness on Lynch’s behalf during his fraud trial. 

Hiscox Chief Executive Aki Hussain told Reuters in a statement that the firm was deeply shocked and saddened and their thoughts were with all those affected. 

Bloomer’s twin brother, Jeremy, told BBC that he is processing the news and the family is waiting to hear updates.

“He was my elder by half an hour, so, it means a lot when you lose a twin brother,” Jeremy Bloomer told BBC. “We’ll still wait and see, so it’s fingers crossed.”

Jonathan Bloomer’s wife, Judy, is a psychotherapist of nearly three decades and former teacher. She specializes in anxiety and stress. She studied English language and literature at Homerton College in Cambridge.

Christopher Morvillo and Neda Morvillo

A lawyer with Clifford Chance, Chris Morvillo was among the team that represented Mike Lynch during his trial. Morvillo is an American citizen. 

He was an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York from 1999 to 2005, and he worked on the criminal investigation stemming from the 9/11 terrorist attacks. 

Morvillo was a graduate of Fordham University School of Law and Villanova University. 

Neda Morvillo, his wife, owns a hand-crafted jewelry company under her maiden name, Neda Nassiri. The company’s website said she has been designing and making jewelry for over 20 years.

In a post on LinkedIn after the conclusion of Lynch’s trial, Chris Morvillo acknowledged his family for their support during the case. 

“And, finally, a huge thank you to my patient and incredible wife, Neda Morvillo, and my two strong, brilliant, and beautiful daughters, Sabrina Morvillo and Sophia Morvillo.  None of this would have been possible without your love and support. I am so glad to be home. 

And they all lived happily ever after…."

To be represented by Premium Yachts, Ferretti Yachts and Riva , two prestigious brands of the Ferretti Group, will be present at the Moscow International Boat Show 2013, displaying motor yacht Ferretti 530 as well as Riva Iseo yacht tender.

Luxury motor yacht Ferretti 530

Luxury yacht Ferretti 530 was very keen to undertake in collaboration once again with AYT – Advanced Yacht Technology, Ferretti Group Engineering Division and Studio Zuccon International Project . The compact dimensions, 16 meters long and almost 5 meters wide, allow the 530 yacht to deliver grand Italian luxury and cruising immersed in such comfort until now unheard of in a yacht of this size.

Ferretti 530 yacht boasts three revolutionary innovations: the full beam master cabin with chaise longue and two large open view windows that make it a real suite at sea level bathed in light, tones and the natural essences of teak. Moving the galley from the center to the aft section creates a unique open space that includes the saloon, galley, cocktail bar and the dining area, the cockpit area continues thanks to the tilting window. The roll bar free sky lounge and the spoiler allow the 530 a sporty appearance combined with elegantly formal lines.

Ferretti 530 Yacht - Interior

Riva , the iconic Ferretti Group brand, presented a new model at the historical Lake d’Iseo shipyards in July 2011. Featuring elegance and ease of transportation as its distinctive characteristics, Iseo superyacht tender , a 27 foot runabout, is destined to become a must-have for those who love cruising on both lakes and the sea, and, most importantly, design enthusiasts. It is also perfect for anyone wishing to enhance their yacht with an exclusive tender that will never go unnoticed.

Riva Iseo superyacht tender

Due to its ease of manoeuvrability and size, Iseo yacht tender is also ideal as a tender for large yachts. Innovative and elegant, it can also guarantee comfort in bad weather conditions. Besides the electrohydraulic bimini top, it was also designed with a waterproof, automobile-style soft top which protects those on board against water and the wind during cruising.
