New boat: Wylo 35.5

wylo sailboat for sale

Nick Skeates designed and built the original circumnavigating Wylo , a 32-foot centerboarder. He sold Wylo' s plans to 140 or so like-minded sailors until 2013 when Voyaging Yachts began building a slightly larger Wylo as a production boat. You can buy the boat in several stages of finish from a bare hull, to parts kits, to commissioned for bluewater.

No design feature of a bluewater boat is more comforting than a full, low-aspect keel, and the Wylo's is broad enough to rest on sand with the help of beaching legs. The hull's steel plates are laser cut for a nearly perfect fit in a series of gentle chines up to the long cabintrunk, which is flush with the topsides, that is, there are no side decks. There are 11 portholes cut into the cabintrunk and a hatch forward. The sprit adds 8 feet.

Aft of the cabintrunk is a truly unique design feature-the optional cockpit well. The original design omits a well in favor of an aft cabin below the cockpit, with the deck crew sitting on lockers and protected by a solid wraparound stern rail and boom gallows.

There are three available rigs: junk, Bermudian and topsail gaff cutter, the later being the most popular. The maststep is a tabernacle, which also serves as the attachment point for the gooseneck. That way, the boom stays attached when the mast is lowered.

Belowdecks, the Wylo's design precludes bulkheads, so any customized layout is possible. The standard interior, though, is a bit different from typical 35-footers, with a pilot berth across from the head and a split berth forward consisting of an adult-sized double across from a child's berth or workbench. The hull is insulated with foam.

The standard engine is a Beta 25-horsepower, keel cooled, diesel-electric hybrid. This system allows for efficient, long-distance motoring under battery, with the Beta running at optimum revolutions while charging the batteries.

The Wylo 35.5 may not use canting keels and carbon fiber, it's design and construction, in a quest for adventure, is every bit as thoughtful and considered as a racing circumnavigator's.

NICK SKEATES ON WYLO II: The Ultimate Barebones Cruiser and his Ultimate Dirt Simple Boat

' src=

Dang it. I was going to write a post about the boats I test-sailed after the show in Annapolis, as has been my custom these past years, but I lost my freaking camera and have no pix for it. Ah, well. This gives me a chance to change the subject and point you at a fantastic viddy posted on Vimeo by Byrony Stokes a couple of months ago. About the intrepid Nick Skeates, a dumpster-diving barebones cruising legend and his tough-as-nails self-designed and self-built boat Wylo II .

Gypsea Stories: Wylo II from Bryony Stokes on Vimeo .

Though there are no definite landmarks in the background, my tingling spider sense told me while watching the viddy that it was probably shot on the Rio Guadiana, a favorite past cruising ground . And indeed, on pawing through the comments I see this is the case.

Amazingly, Nick has sold plans for a slightly upsized version of his boat to something like 140 different home-building sailors. As of 2013, at least, the boat was also being built on a production basis by Voyaging Yachts in the UK and was available in various states of construction.

Rendering of a production Wylo, as “re-realized” by Whitehouse Yacht Design for Voyaging Yachts, which now, alas, seems defunct, or at least very inactive

The most renowned Wylo sailor, other than Nick, is certainly Trevor Robertson , who with his then-partner Annie Hill (formerly the bride of Pete Hill, of Badger fame ) won the Cruising Club of America’s Blue Water Medal in 2009 . Trevor’s Wylo, named Iron Bark , is believed to be the only vessel in history to have spent winters frozen into the ice in both the Arctic and Antarctic.

In any event, I urge you to watch Byrony’s excellent video, in which Nick expounds on his philosophy of cruising and gives a tour of his boat. Afterwards, you should also watch this one, starring a production-built Wylo, in which Nick provides the soundtrack, singing a tune and playing his ukulele.

Best line in the song (at 55 seconds): Freedom is just another word for being unemployed.

[As for those other boats: this year I test-sailed the X-Yachts Xp55, the Hanse 348, the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 319, and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 410. Look for full reviews in future issues of SAIL Magazine.]

Charlie, I’m sorry you lost your camera. But I’m glad you did not post the pics of the new boats. They do nothing for me. But this was a real treat. Simple brings the greatest joy…for me anyway. Thanks for sharing.

That film should win an award if film awards were ever to mean something. What incredible insight Skeates has. Listening to his approach to life reminds me of how Dogen, as translated by Warner and his contemporaries, describe how actualize your life. This man knows first hand about the damage man has inflicted upon the earth. He tells us that it is not just about time we take notice and do something about it but it is high time (hope my paraphrase did not butcher the original).

Hi Charlie, So lovely to make a surprise find of my long associate Nick Skeates. We met in Polynesia in 1977 while both sailing around the world, Nick in Wylo 1 – me in self constructed Fleur D’Ecosse. We had so much in common, do it yourself and basic, people. He introduced me the Tuamotu atolls, and spinnaker flying, on my 28 foot boat. We met again in Fiji immediately after he lost Wylo on the reef. Then in N.Z. discussing plans for Wylo 11. We saw each other again in 1985, me back in the Pacific, Nick on his second around trip. He introduced me three brothers who had some problems and a 50 ton Baltic Trader. To fix their problem I ended up with a Baltic Trader I didn’t need. Later Nick helped me sell it to a mutual friend in Fiji. He came through Polynesia again around 2008 on his forth around trip, and sailed passed my new house on Moorea. Thanks for the memories. Ron

Hey Ron! So glad you found this post. Sounds like you’ve had a very interesting career as a cruiser. Thanks for sharing!

Greetings Charles, my middle name as well. Just to say I now live with my NZ wife on a 25 ton, 110 year Dutch Tjalk Barge on the Canal du Midi, South France. Hopefully moving soon to Brittany canals if we can dodge this dreaded virus plague. Life is an adventure. You seem a very busy guy. I did look for Nick on FB with no success. I try again.. Cheers.

Hi Charles. I sail a Wylo 2 out of Saldanha Bay in South Africa. I have tried every way but this post to try and contact Nick Skeates. I want to build a new one and want plans. Anyone who can help that you know of? Fair winds…Rod.

Hi Rod: I have no way to get in touch with Nick.You might try Trevor Robertson, who you may have noted has a Wylo 2 he built for sale. He may have plans, or may know how to get in contact with Nick. Trevor’s e-mail is trevironbark(at)gmail.com

Hi Janet. Sorry to hijack this thread. I’ve followed Nick’s (and Wylo’s) progress over the years and have a friend who is currently building a Wylo in Scotland, and just came across your post. Coincidentally, we have friends who live in Oakdene Road almost opposite where you used to live. If you’d like to catch up on the last half century please ping me back at [email protected]

Hi Nick ! If you read this ?? We met in Cape Town … my little painting took off with you … and some amazing memories too You told me somethIng which became true … I want to be in touch again , is your address in the UK still reaching you ? Much love Dorotheé

Hi, I met and sailed in company with Nick when he was sailing in Australia, Great memories and times with Nick. Remember giving him a race on our Freedom 40 on day and we were doing the same speed for 6 hours. He then used him Bimikin and over an hour started to break away from us. So I added some sarongs to my boom and then eventually passed. Ha great fun and memories. If Nick is in contact with the world via email haha though doubt it. Can someone pass on mine.

13 Popular Full Keel Sailboats Worth Considering

Full keel sailboats are very stable and durable - they are great for cruising long distances. But there are disadvantages too. Let's look at what models to consider, and why.

wylo sailboat for sale

Here are 13 good full keel sailboats that are worth considering:

Nicholson 32

Island packet 380, folkboat 25, cape dory 36, vancouver 32, tradewind 33, endurance 50, westsail 32, hans christian 52.

First of all let's have a look at why you should even be preferring full keel sailboats to a more traditional, widespread classical fin keel design.

Full Keel Advantages

As with everything, there are plenty of pros and cons on each side. Full keels generally provide better handling if the weather gets tricky, they track better, provide more stability downwind, and generally stabilize the boat movements better.

Furthermore, they are way more robust, thus less prone to damage. Running ashore isn't as big of a deal as it is with a fin keel and your rudder and propeller will be more protected with the mass of the keel in front of them.

Full Keel Disadvantages

With more mass and drag comes less speed. Plus the large surface area underwater holding the direction will result in a wider turning radius, which might be annoying in smaller spaces.

Fin Keel vs Full Keel: Pros and Cons & When to Choose Which

Fin keel advantages.

The largest advantage of fin keels is their speed. They also provide better maneuvering and a better turning radius.

Fin Keel Disadvantages

It is inevitably more prone to damage though, wear and tear will be a way bigger issue than a full keel. They won't have your back when a gust comes since the water-resistance to the side will be smaller.

It seems then that for serious longer passages, liveaboards, and long-term sailing, full keels are better. As long as you don't care for speed as much, but are concerned about the boat having your back, this is the answer. So let's now look at the superstars of the full keel universe.

The very prototype of a long-distance tough cruiser. It has been with us since 1963 and happens to be among the first fiberglass boat models produced on a mass scale. Nicholson 32 went out of production in 1981 and it was a model approved for the 2018 Golden Globe Race, proving that even older Nicholsons are still standing strong due to their toughness and ease of repair.

They were supposedly as durable as if made out of steel. Though I'll leave up to you whether you want to see that as a marketing claim or reality, such a statement can not be made without some base.

Plus the newer models have a lot of interior space, are manageable for solo sailing, and provide a sturdy ride to take one around the world.

The story here is similar to the above Nicholson - meaning that we are looking at one long-lasting high-quality cruiser. Not just because of this specific model's build - Island Packet in general was always known for this. And it is among the very few companies that, in the modern era, keep making full keel boats.

In other words, you don't see many shipyards focusing on full keels these days, so if you want one and you would rather go with a new boat, Island Packet will be one of the stops you will very probably make when doing your research.

If you are looking for reliable cruisers, you will like this one, since cruising is what it was built for, even if it meant sacrificing some performance aspects. It has a wide beam, a lot of interior space, all of the amenities a comfy cruiser should have, such as a big refrigerator with a freezer, as well as a fully equipped kitchen. The long keel here serves as a comfort helper, since, as mentioned before, it adds to the stability and reduces motion.

Not to sound repetitive, but the word 'reliability' has to be mentioned again. It seems that boat builders who choose the full keel design have something in common.

But since this particular boat was born during the Second World War and has been going strong to this very day, what other words to describe it? It has the Nordic blood in its veins since it was thought into existence by the Scandinavian Yacht Racing Union and since it prefers just about everything over comfort.

The boat is very stable, not just because of its full keel, but also because of its insane 55% ballast ratio. For those who haven't come across this before, the ballast ratio is the ratio of the ballast weight relative to the boat weight. So for instance the nearly 9 tonne Bavaria 40 with its almost 3 tonne ballast has a ballast ratio around 30 percent.

Thus you can imagine that a boat that 'wastes' more than half of its weight on ballast is serious about rigidity. These are performance racer numbers. But of course, if you are designing a boat that has to withstand the Scandinavian storms, you don't have a choice than to go overboard with specs. So if this toughness is what you seek, look no further.

...although as far as I know, all Cape Dory boats have full keels, regardless of their length. Their 36-foot model is just their most popular one. Cape Dories are known for their sturdiness, ability to cross the oceans because of their stability, and relative ease of handling.

They were engineered by Carl Alberg, who was inspired by the Scandinavian Folkboat, where reliability is worth more than comfort, or the interior space. This boat rocks a heavy rig for hardcore traveling, but its 1.5-meter draft makes it ideal for coastal cruising as well.

What's quite interesting about this particular model is that during its lifespan it went through very few changes. Boats usually evolve, sailors' feedback is taken into consideration for upgrades, but Cape Dory 36 remained relatively unchanged inside or out. This is a big compliment, since the brand started out in 1963, stopped production in 1991, and sold its blueprints so that they could be built further. Talk about longevity.

Let's progress in technology! Just because a long keel is an old-fashioned or more traditional approach, it doesn't mean it remains monolithic in its ideology. There were innovations in the concept, such as cutaways in the keel, to reduce the biggest drawback of this design, the drag.

So it only makes sense that Vancouver, a company that had distinctiveness and innovation in its mission and vision, would take part in this. Their 32-foot model that begun its lifespan in the early eighties, had a deeply cutaway forefoot, plus a rudder that was wider the deeper it was underwater, meaning its widest point was at its lowest point. This was to increase efficiency, and rudder response.

Technicalities aside, this boat was very well made, no corners cut, no expenses spared. This resulted in quite pricey vessels, out of reach of many, but much time has passed since, so today it can be yours for around 40 000 USD and up. And since the build quality was so high back then, you can still enjoy a proper boat, usually at a higher quality than boats equal its age.

The great thing about Australian sailboat makers is that they design their boats for long passages. How else would they get off of the continent? Freya 39 is a good example of this since it has not only circled the globe many times but also won the Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race three times consecutively. And that's a famously hard race.

The boat is built like a tank, with thicker fiberglass walls than you would find in its rivals. Despite that, its owners claim to have crossed over two hundred miles per day on it, a figure that is well known when it comes to this model. Which sounds plausible with its 7.8 kts of hull speed.

Its construction makes her one stable boat since it has been noted that during races, it was able to carry a spinnaker longer than its competitors, well into the 30 knots of wind speed.

The only drawback here is that if you fancy it, since it is so highly valued, and in demand, it will be tricky to find one to buy. And once you do, prepare to pay around 60 000 - 90 000 USD for it.

This one comes with a story attached to it. Once upon a time, a naval engineer Nick attempted to sail around the world. Halfway through, his boat gave up, which meant a lot of trouble for Nick, but he exited this disaster with a pretty precise idea for what his next project would be. He set on to design a boat that would be so sturdy that his sailing misfortune would never repeat.

Out of this incident paired with a smart brain, Wylo 2 was born. To make sure his design stands, after putting this boat on the water, he proceeded to live on it, while circling the globe a few times.

Others, seeing this success, bought his designs and they became quite widespread. As you might have guessed, this boat has a lot of space for living, for storing equipment and provisions, so it is comfy to live on, not only for your body but because of its sturdiness, for your mind too. These designs have accomplished some astonishing feats in all corners of the world, so if you put your trust in this design, you won't be making a mistake.

If I said this boat is sturdy and ready for just about any destination, I'd really be repeating myself now. So while that's true, let's talk about what's special about Tradewinds 33.

It has a rather small cockpit, so on-deck dinners while watching the sunset with the whole crew might be a bit improvised, but the space saved is used for an impressively spacious interior as well as a nearly flat deck. So moving about is a pleasure.

For liveaboards, this is a good idea, since storage space will be plentiful. Plus it's an elegant looking boat, with a forestaysail as a default setup. So rock on.

Time for a larger boat. So that if you want something that won't lack anything you might wish for, including space, I have something for you too. All Endurances are full keels, so if you fancy a smaller model, there is a way.

Even though it is relatively new, (you will find models from around 1995) it will make you feel like a medieval pirate, with its old-school helm, wooden interior, and a spacious aft cabin that has large windows facing back!

It is a proper bluewater cruiser, built in South Africa based on a famous Peter Ibold's Endurance blueprint. It sleeps a whole family, so if a circumnavigation with a few friends is what you seek, this is one for you.

If you are up for some single-handed sailing, pause here for a bit. Small sailboats are usually nimble, on the top of it, this one is also quite sturdy and stable, as full keels are.

You won't find much space below the deck, so don't expect to have a party of more than around two people, but at least it's a good looking interior, with charming round windows and many of the usual amenities.

They say that Mason sailboats are premium quality for a non-premium price. I wonder whether them being built in Taiwan has something to do with it.

Here is a quote by an owner of a 1986 model that says it all: "I am absolutely captivated by the boat and am not objective at all in my feelings toward her. The general construction is of the highest standard. Like an Irish hunter, she is a workhorse and a lady-maybe not quite as fast around six furlongs as a racehorse, but for the long pull, through timber, brush, and over walls, she is really something."

Now although this owner admits subjectivity, this boat indeed was built with quality in mind. Sturdiness too - not only is its fiberglass hull properly solid, but it also features longitudinal stringers to add further rigidity.

There is a lot of brightwork, which might sound nice at first glance, but since it requires quite a lot of maintenance, some owners even said they could do with less wood if it meant less upkeep.

All in all though, when it comes to getting a lot of boat for not a lot of money, this is it.

Does it make sense to even praise how heavy and sturdy this boat is built? Probably not at this point. Just know it ticks all the boxes. It is made of 12 layered fiberglass for Pete's sake.

The design was based on ideas of the Norwegian engineer Colin Archer, who made his boats such that they could withstand the northern seas. Pair that with the fact that the interior here is surprisingly spacious with 6 ft 2 in of headroom and you've got yourself one comfortable circumnavigator.

The issue stemming from the heavy build and a full keel, which is a slower pace, applies here more than usual though. This boat is absolutely reliable, but don't expect winning speed races.

Sadly, Westsail 32 was in production only for some 9 years. Sales were booming, they made over 800 boats, but bad business practices and cash flow issues resulted in its demise.

Not the author, the boat. If beauty and elegance are what you are after, this one will catch your eye. Just as was the case with Mason, these boats were produced in Taiwan. But since the goal of the engineers was to create the 'ultimate cruising sailboat' and they spared no expense, expect to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for these boats, even though decades old.

The gorgeous classical design paired with the high build quality makes these exclusive pieces of work, plus quite a modern one since they ceased production in the 90s. So if you don't mind the higher price mark and are looking for something relatively new, that will, thanks to the build quality, last you for many years to come, this might be your choice.

Full keel sailboats are sturdy. Not only is that because of the full keel which itself provides a lot of structural integrity. But also because the choice of putting the full keel in means you are building something that prefers ruggedness and reliability over anything else. So it is logical that the rest of the boat will be built in the same fashion.

So if you don't mind sacrificing the few knots of extra speed, if you don't mind the smaller pool to choose from, if you want a boat that will have your back in pretty much any situation and place you will choose to go to, if you want to sail the Scandinavian design, go for it.

Wednesday, february 9, 2011, the story of our ‘wylo ii’ design yacht, kallisto.

First of all we, my wife Dorothy and I, had to decide to what sort of use our next boat, already referred to as Wylo II, would be put. There seemed to be four basic requirements: a permanent home for two. ocean cruising from New Zealand to Europe at least. cruising the European Canals. sailing far up estuaries, rivers and creeks (a fascination).
  • Length on deck 32’
  • Length on waterline 28’
  • Beam 10’
  • Sail area 680 sq ft
  • Design displacement 6.3 tons
  • Draft (board up) 3’ 3”
  • Draft (board down) 6’ 3”

Hi PawPah Yes the boat was sold before she was even advertised - went real quick! Cheers Gary

What did you use as insulation on your boat? You mention spraying the insulation aren't you afraid of corrosion on the hull? Beautiful work, Wylo are one of my favourite boat. Great job.

Thanks Simon, I thought i would document the build except for the wylo group, there wasn't much online about the subject of building a wylo online. I'm trying to keep my wylo in the tar and dyed mould Nick created, but am open to learning about new technologies and modifications too . cheers Andy

Reina Bell, Author of the Kismet, New & Unbroken and Trust Me "Book Tour Gals are by far and away the very best at what they do. From start to finish, they are excellent communicators and make the process seamless. As an indie author with little social media experience, new to self-publishing and marketing, they are a godsend! I highly recommend all eight influencers. They are all fabulous with their own uniqueness and style, which I appreciate. I look forward to working with them for all of my future releases! Reina Bell”

Abby Millsaps, Author of Too Safe "I was thrilled with my promotional tour for Too Safe with the Book Tour Gals!

Angela J. Ford, Author of Married by Wind and the Tower Knights series "Working with Book Tour Gals was a pleasure, they took the time to create something exciting that would capture readers attention and I saw the boost in sales I needed. I will certainly be back to work with them again!”

Jessica S. Taylor, Author of The Syren's Mutiny series "Working with the Gals was amazing! Beautiful pics, noticeable engagement, and definitely worth the price!”

Whitney Dean, Author of The Four Kingdoms series "Book Tour Gals is made up of some incredible ladies who take the time to create content specifically for your book. I’ve worked with them twice so far with another tour scheduled for my second release. In my most recent tour, their reels catapulted my book onto the Amazon best seller list! Out of multiple tours, Book Tour Gals will be the only one I use for the rest of my series. I highly recommend them!"

Melissa Cassera, Author of Control "The Book Tour Gals are INCREDIBLE! Hands down best tour experience. The visuals they create are so eye catching, the posts are fun, there’s a ton of engagement, and they really work hard to rally behind your book. I loved all the care and attention they put in and can’t wait to work with them again!"

Clare Archer, Author of The Divine Oblivion "I greatly enjoyed working with BookTourGals. They were very professional and their posts were creative and beautiful. I was blown away by the amount of preorders I received by the end of the tour and it’s still rising!”

Kira Stanley, Author of Reluctant Queen "These gals are so creative and professional. They promise on what they deliver and are so kind and understanding about any questions you might have. They are responsive and quick (which is SOO helpful!) I would use them again in a heartbeat!”

Sara M. Schaller, Author of the the Empyrean trilogy "The Book Tour Gals are fantastic! I’ve gotten so many new readers and followers because of them. They made my book shine!”

Stephanie Storm, Author of The Confidential Heir "Loved this experience so much, that I'm already planning my next! In a world where it almost feels impossible to stand out amongst the 100s of 1000s of books that get published per day, the Book Tour Gals helped me stand out a bit, and sometimes it can be so scary because no indie author really knows what they're doing, and they're so friendly, helpful and approachable and help make this part of the journey a bit easier for us. Thank you!”

Morgan Gauthier, Author of A Song of Shadow and Starlight "Working with the Book Tour Gals was fun and easy! They are quick to respind, creative with their content, and are genuinely wonderful human beings! I will definitely work with them in the future!”

Santana Saunders, Author of A Curse of Blood and Bloom "The Book Tour Gals are AMAZING! They communicated everything well, and the results were better than I imagined.”

Raluca Narita, Author of Dark Magic "The Book Tour Gals are amazing! Working with them to prepare for the book tour was a positive experience. They clearly communicated about what to expect, and the posts that were made on social media were unique and engaging. Highly recommend!”

Kristie Price, Author of The Restricrions of Cora "This was such a great experience! The girls were knowledgeable and friendly, and their photos were beautiful! I loved the cosplay of my main female character; it was so cool and unique! They increased my books exposure and my followers. I highly recommend BookTourGals, and would love to work with them again!”

Mellie T. Tollem, Author of A Tale of Treachery "I loved working with the Book Tour Gals! This was my first tour as a debut indie author, and the ladies made it a very positive experience. The photos and posts were beautiful, and helped my book reach a whole new audience of readers. I would absolutely recommend them to other authors looking to expand their audience.”

Carter Pugh, Author of Death Rattle "The whole experience was so amazing. Each BTG crafted beautiful posts and I am so thankful. They made the process for promoting my first novel feel like the best week of my life. I was truly touched by their words and reviews and feel energized and excited about this amazing journey that I am on."

C.L. Qvam, Author of the Spindle of Life series "I absolutely loved working with the Book Tour Gals both for my debut and its sequel. I struggle with a lot of anxiety and decision-overwhelm, and they patiently helped guide me through the process whenever needed. They're a steady lighthouse in a storm for any beginner author, but I'd especially recommend for authors with romantasy novels. As a reader and regular consumer of their content, I can vouch for their excitement over a good (spicy) romance being an unparallelled force to putting a book in a reader's TBR!"

L.A. Goff, Author of Freezing Reign "Loved the convenience of working with so many book loving influencers at once!”

Elizabeth May, International and Sunday Times Bestselling Author of To Cage a God "The Book Tour Gals are such a delight to work with. Lovely, supportive and kind, with book posts that are so beautiful and professional. I can't recommend them enough, they're so wonderful!”

Sarah A. Parker, International Bestselling Author of To Bleed A Crystal Bloom "The Book Tour Gals are everything and so much more. Each and every one of them are artists in their own right, and the amount of effort they put into my book tour was astonishing—from the stunning pictures to the engaging posts and reels, all pulled together by their dedication and outstanding communication. I felt like a queen for the entire 8 days of my tour, because they treated me and my book with THAT much care and consideration. Mushy stuff aside, my sales skyrocketed over the course of the tour, and I feel a lot of that is thanks to these amazing gals. I cannot recommend them enough.”

Kate King, USA Today and International Best-Selling Author of Wilde Fae: Lords of the Hunt "I absolutely loved working with the tour gals and found it to be absolutely worth it for entering the Romantasy space. I’ve done more standard Instagram PR tours before that had more participants, but far less return on investment. Every post made a huge difference to my Amazon ranking, and introduced me to readers I never would have reached otherwise. 10/10.”

Jessica Wayne, USA Today Bestselling Author of Rise of a Warrior "The Book Tour Gals were wonderful to work with! The images and videos they put together for my book were spectacular, and I am looking forward to getting to work with them again!”

Nicola Tyche, Author of North Queen "The Book Tour Gals are exceptional! They were incredibly professional, creative, and so much fun to work with. They genuinely support indie authors, create beautiful content, and make the book release process so much more exciting. North Queen made top release charts in two large genre categories, and—as a debut author doing very little other marketing—I attribute this to the book tour. 10/10—I absolutely recommend!”

L.A. Gardner, co-owner of Papier and Pages Author Services and former PA and PR rep for USA Today and NYT Best Selling Authors "I have had the pleasure of partnering with the Tour Gals for a number of client releases. What strikes me the most is their professionalism, creativity, and genuine love of reading. They go above and beyond to create gorgeous reels, stories, and posts for their tours while keeping in tune with their audience expectations. I have seen firsthand the success of their tours with book launch after book launch and would highly recommend them to anyone needing book promotion.”

J.M. Failde, Author of The Crow Lord "I will never stop singing praise to Book Tour Gals. This tour was probably the best decision I have made for my book and its marketing. Not only were all the gals incredibly sweet, supportive, and fun to work with, they also brought me an influx of readers and followers. It's been almost a month now and I'm still seeing results from it! New readers message me often that they found me through BTG, and I just cannot recommend them enough. They are all so sweet and I will DEFINITELY be coming back to do another tour with them."

S.J. Tilly, Author of the Sleet series "Working with the Book Tour Gals was an absolute pleasure! Each and every one of them was super responsive and interactive with the Book Community, both before and after my tour, and made me feel like a part of their squad. I’m happy to have worked with them and even happier to call them my friends.”

Kate Golden, Author of A Dawn of Onyx "The gals were so easy to work with, thoughtful, creative and I saw a huge boost in sales and interactions when they posted. I will be doing all of my book launches and cover reveals with them!”

Veronica Douglas, Author of the Magic Side: Wolf Bound series "The Book Tour Gals made our last launch come alive. From showstopping photos to in-depth reviews to hilarious reels, it was a blast seeing each of their super creative posts. They helped us reach a much wider audience and made us feel like superstars. Thanks gals for our best release ever! ”

Each of them have their own unique way of creating lovely content, yet all of their styles blended together to make for a wonderful tour experience. I look forward to working with them again!”

Jessaca Willis, Author of A Delicate Betrayal "You can’t go wrong working with the Book Tour Gals! They’re friendly, professional, and super excited about hyping indie books! Highly recommend!”

Israh Azizi, Author of Heroes of the Empire: The Cavalier "I had a wonderful experience working with Tour Gals! I definitely recommend their services.”

C.H. Lyn, Author of Hope and Lies "I loved sending out my debut novel for a review tour with book tour gals. They were professional, kind, and helpful at every step.

E.V. Sauvage, Author of the A Sound of Battle series "Working with the Book Tour Gals was perfect. They make you feel at home with them while they prepare for the upcoming tour. You get to see in advance what is going to be posted and they always make sure it’s all good for you. I will 100% work with them again.”

Alexandra St. Pierre, Author of The Origin's Daughter "I would recommend touring with the Book Tour Gals to any authors who are looking to get exposure for their titles in the bookish community! Professional, fun and creative, they are so amazing to work with!"

Jacqueline Pretty, Author of Powerless "I had such a good experience with the Tour Gals - communication was fast and they seemed genuinely enthusiastic about my book. We had a shared Instagram chat with the hosts which I really appreciated, as it made it easy to talk about tour dates, post copy and to share post images when they went live. It was a wonderful experience and I'd highly recommend working with them!”

I'll absolutely work with them again!"

E. A. M. Trofimenkoff, Author of the A Kiss of the Siren's Song "If you haven’t booked the Gals for your book tour, what are you waiting for?

I’ll definitely be coming back for my future books!"

Why Your Big Sister Resents You

“Eldest daughter syndrome” assumes that birth order shapes who we are and how we interact. Does it?

An illustration of four nesting dolls in a row in a blue background. In descending height from left to right, the dolls have faces descending in age, with the one on the far right in white diapers with hands clasped at the front. Compared with the other dolls’ faces that look happy, the face of the doll on the far left looks sad. It is adorned with medals and a ribbon that says “1.”

By Catherine Pearson

Catherine Pearson is a younger daughter who still leans on her older sister for guidance all the time.

In a TikTok video that has been watched more than 6 million times, Kati Morton, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Santa Monica, Calif., lists signs that she says can be indicative of “eldest daughter syndrome.”

Among them: an intense feeling of familial responsibility, people-pleasing tendencies and resentment toward your siblings and parents.

On X, a viral post asks : “are u happy or are u the oldest sibling and also a girl”?

Firstborn daughters are having a moment in the spotlight , at least online, with memes and think pieces offering a sense of gratification to responsible, put-upon big sisters everywhere. But even mental health professionals like Ms. Morton — herself the youngest in her family — caution against putting too much stock in the psychology of sibling birth order, and the idea that it shapes personality or long term outcomes.

“People will say, ‘It means everything!’ Other people will say, ‘There’s no proof,’” she said, noting that eldest daughter syndrome (which isn’t an actual mental health diagnosis) may have as much to do with gender norms as it does with birth order. “Everybody’s seeking to understand themselves, and to feel understood. And this is just another page in that book.”

What the research says about birth order

The stereotypes are familiar to many of us: Firstborn children are reliable and high-achieving; middle children are sociable and rebellious (and overlooked); and youngest children are charming and manipulative.

Studies have indeed found ties between a person’s role in the family lineup and various outcomes, including educational attainment and I.Q . (though those scores are not necessarily reliable measures of intelligence ), financial risk tolerance and even participation in dangerous sports . But many studies have focused on a single point in time, cautioned Rodica Damian, a social-personality psychologist at the University of Houston. That means older siblings may have appeared more responsible or even more intelligent simply because they were more mature than their siblings, she said, adding that the sample sizes in most birth order studies have also been relatively small.

In larger analyses, the link between birth order and personality traits appears much weaker. A 2015 study looking at more than 20,000 people in Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States found no link between birth order and personality characteristics — though the researchers did find evidence that older children have a slight advantage in I.Q. (So, eldest daughters, take your bragging rights where you can get them.)

Dr. Damian worked on a different large-scale study, also published in 2015 , that included more than 370,000 high schoolers in the United States. It found slight differences in personality and intelligence, but the differences were so small, she said, that they were essentially meaningless. Dr. Damian did allow that cultural practices such as property or business inheritance (which may go to the first born) might affect how birth order influences family dynamics and sibling roles.

Still, there is no convincing some siblings who insist their birth order has predestined their role in the family.

After her study published, Dr. Damian appeared on a call-in radio show. The lines flooded with listeners who were delighted to tell her how skewed her findings were.

“Somebody would say: ‘You’re wrong! I’m a firstborn and I’m more conscientious than my siblings!’ And then someone else would call in and say, ‘You’re wrong, I’m a later-born and I’m more conscientious than my siblings!” she said.

What personal experience says

Sara Stanizai, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Long Beach, Calif., runs a virtual group with weekly meet-ups, where participants reflect on how they believe their birth order has affected them and how it may be continuing to shape their romantic lives, friendships and careers.

The program was inspired by Ms. Stanizai’s experience as an eldest daughter in an Afghan-American family, where she felt “parentified” and “overly responsible” for her siblings — in part because she was older, and in part because she was a girl .

While Ms. Stanizai acknowledged that the research around birth order is mixed, she finds it useful for many of her clients to reflect on their birth order and how they believe it shaped their family life — particularly if they felt hemmed in or saddled by certain expectations.

Her therapy groups spend time reflecting on questions like: How does my family see me? How do I see myself? Can we talk about any discrepancies in our viewpoints, and how they shape family dynamics? For instance, an older sibling might point out that he or she is often the one to plan family vacations. A younger sibling might point out that he or she often feels pressured into going along with whatever the rest of the group wants.

Whether or not there is evidence that birth order determines personality traits is almost beside the point, experts acknowledged.

“I think people are just looking for meaning and self-understanding,” Ms. Stanizai said. “Horoscopes, birth order, attachment styles” are just a few examples, she said. “People are just looking for a set of code words and ways of describing their experiences.”
