The sailor behind Estrella

Dillon Robbins is a USCG-licensed Chief Engineer and offshore endurance sailor, documenting Estrella — a 1973 Bristol 35 — as he prepares her for a solo, nonstop Atlantic circuit.

After years working the engine rooms of commercial fishing boats in Alaska, Dillon built Estrella Offshore to share what that world doesn't usually show: the seamanship, the mechanical problem-solving, and the slow, deliberate work of getting an old boat ready for serious ocean voyaging.

A solo, nonstop Atlantic circuit

The Estrella Offshore Atlantic campaign follows the historic wind patterns of the North Atlantic gyre — a route sailors have used for centuries, taken on alone and without a single stop.

Every stage of the voyage will be documented as it happens: the refit, the offshore preparation, the departure, the long stretches alone at sea, and the condition of the boat and gear when she finally comes home.

An audience built on the work itself

In the last 90 days, Estrella Offshore grew from a new account into a national sailing and adventure platform — most of it from people who didn't already follow the page.
