1. those on lavagabond need to see this vid

2. Excellent video – thank you!

3. Thanks for the info. I would love to learn here in Quebec from someone like you.

4. Great story, enough details to really get someone’s attention and make an impression. One thing – there is no arguing that any type of tether is better than none, but as a rock climber with many hours up multi pitch with partners, I can say from experience that you DO NOT want a biner with an open gate (unlocking). I’ve watched as someone weights an anchor with wire gates and non-locking biners. The carabiner rotated along the surface, pivoting on the gate, opening and falling off the another with a man 200’ up. Luckily there was more than a single point to the anchor. I’d heard about it happening, but to see it was frightening. Never, ever trust a non-locking carabiner, always use at least (2) points so you will always be connected as you release the other. Think of a via ferrata setup, that’s what you want.

5. Is it a bad idea to use those flat carabiners on soft loops?

6. Thank's Paul. I'm newish to sailing even tho I have spent many years boating and live by the coast here in Ireland. I want to learn as much as possible to stay safe and know how to sail well.

7. VERY VALUABLE !!! for (single-handed) skipper awareness!

8. This guy is full of crap.

9. Hi Paul, I saw this video of yours by chance and I share every word you said and I signed up … I have been sailing for 50 years almost always alone but I hope to learn more from you. Thank you!

10. Nice video with good info. But why do you not use the crotch straps on the Deckvest when you show how to put it on. I see you use them later in the video.

11. very good! great safety vid

12. Hope you never spoke that crew again

13. Thank you for posting this extremely detailed, very important video. My husband and I are new to sailing. I’ve been given the job of researching life vests, harnesses etc. your video is the best I’ve found so far.

14. Thank you so much for sharing. As starting sailors this info is very important to us. We just purchased 2 Spinlock 6d's to keep us safe.. Again Thank you !!

15. Grace of Neptune?

16. Great video Paul! Safety and staying aboard is paramount.

17. You mention raising your hands to flag passing boats in both stories. Why not also have a storm whistle on your life vest like whitewater rafters?

18. The non-locking carabiner if sliding along a rail, then striking a stanchion can have it’s gate forced open.

19. Thank you for opening my eyes! I'm now a long term subscriber. Thank you thank you thank you.

20. Okay

21. fantastic video, Paul! I'm taking all of your expert advice and putting it into practice. Brand new to sailing, just got a Laguna 30 in Oceanside, CA. Aloha!

22. Thank you so much for this video. As someone with impaired balance, but a love for sailing, this video is exactly what I wanted and needed to find.

23. Great story Paul, great boat, great video!
    If you remember I talked to you about Captaining me and my IP 35 from Newfoundland to The Azores.
    Well I finally made it, and my boat is in St Maarten right now…
    And I didn’t realize your boat is a Cape George 31 design… great boat.
    A Cape George 36 out of Newfoundland is entered in the GGR2022, sailed by Kirsten Neuschaeffer,
    I feel comfortable in saying ‘ she has the best boat’

24. Paul,
    Kirsten purchased her Cape George 36 Minnehaha here in Newfoundland.
    It was previously owned by Dr Mike Bottomly, my wife’s colleague who has since passed away.
    I helped Kirsten take possession of the boat here during the Covid lockdown.
    As well I visited her in Prince Edward Island during the extensive refit.
    And yes, she has the fastest boat, and will likely win unless something unforeseen happens.
    Thanks for replying to my comments.

25. Great video, Paul! Sailing with you in Hawaii might be an incredible experience!!! Mahalo 🤙

26. A very useful .

27. Thank so much Paul, after 2 decades of kayaking and 3 year of SUP, i bough a zodiak (390cm new) last summer, this summe a yamarin 50 br (bowrider new). I wan to learn to sail, wicht sailboat could you recommend to grow up with? (location oslo fiord). Im 58 by the way. Best Regards Eduardo

28. Great info, great stories. Sure would like to hear how the first conversation with your crew mate went after he looked at you then sailed away.

29. I have attended a number of Safety at Sea Seminars. And I'm a great believer in their benefit for cruising couples, even though they are often associated with ocean races and focused on the safety requirements of that way of going to sea. Having said that, these seminars spend a huge amount of time explaining the procedures for recovering a person overboard (POB). For the short-handed crew, that time could be better spent.
    
    Short-handed POB Recovery is an Illusion, in my opinion, for the two-person crew offshore, no matter how well equipped and drilled, the chances of recovery of a person overboard are not great, even in the best of conditions. And once the wind gets up they become slim indeed. This is why I prefer to focus on crew POB (person on board) I like to imagine that there is a 500-foot cliff on the other side of those lifelines. Stay windward of loaded gear. Ban side deck jack lines forever and use only centerline. While being always attached to the boat is a huge increase in safety, that's only part of the story. What we attach to and how is equally, or maybe even more, important. But what really matters to the short-handed crew offshore is making as sure as humanly possible that the MOB situation never happens in the first place. I prefer The TeamO life jacket in the event of dragging. We need more prevention less cure.

30. Please demonstrate going overboard attached to a 6' tether. Certainly you won't let go, but how do you get back on board?

31. Helpful video. Do you sail out of Hilo?

32. Great video Paul. Keep them coming!
    That is an amazing boat you built.
    I remember when you began from the bare hull.

33. Dear Paul, Thank you for an excellent video. Please inform me where can I buy this Safety Harness?

34. what is the make and model of the leash?

35. Thanks, I bought a 30 ft Etchill which has no safety features, no lifelines etc and the boom is only 18inches off the deck, so I really want a teather and harness, you did not mention leg straps, I read in 48 North abouta girl who slipped out of her harness when they used the harness to lift her ut of the water.

36. the teather you show is the West Marine Store brand $99, The ones you don't like are $154

37. the tether you show is the West Marine Store brand $99, that is the one I will get,, 48 North had an article in the April 2023 and a second in the May 2023 about a crew where Daughter, Son and Father all went overboard, In Seattle the person has 8 min to rescue or hypothermia makes it not possible to help with your own rescue. All 3 were saved, but the daughter who went in first had a harness but no tether, when they tried pulling her out the 1st time she slipped out of the harness/PFD because there were no leg straps.

38. Harness extremely important, , from my sailing alone very long voyages. I always was wearing safety harness. Never go outside ,I must to use a safety harness 100%

39. That harness is like Batman's utility belt. Love it.

40. You life jacket lacks crutch straps an important safety feature.

41. When scuba diving I carry a "signaling sausage", which is a three- to six-foot long inflatable fluorescent tube (think bright, really long fabric or tough plastic bag) that you can fill and wave over your head or float vertically next to you. Based on the importance of being seen by passing vessels that we're learning about in this lesson, I'm going to go buy one for my EDC MOB kit ASAP.

42. I really enjoyed the video. I like that you mix safety tips with your own experience. The information sticks much better when there is a real story behind it. I found the way you present energized and entertaining. For sure I borrowed a few tips for myself to make sailing a bit safer for me and my crew. Thank you Paul!

43. I singlehand exclusively. I have gone overboard once. I keep a bumper hanging from my bow pulpit and it saved my life until I was rescued. I had no way to get back onboard. I was in the gulf of Mexico offshore from Galveston. My coast guard training classes and my sailing classes and years of experience paid off. Pleasd train for overboard scenarios, it may save your life. Thanks
