În sfârșit, înapoi pe Misty my 26′ International Folkboat. Sunt aproape un începător în navigație, așa că încă învățăm pe măsură ce mergem, dar cred că sunt aproape gata să ies în ocean pentru o mare aventură pe coasta de est a Australiei și să găsesc o nouă acostare în apropierea unor insule tropicale.

I'm right behind you buddy
The first rule of sailing is ALWAYS WEAR YOUR DECK SHOES And the second rule of sailing is ALWAYS WEAR YOUR DECK SHOES!
The winch handle is your friend.
Great sailing!
I now when I was a beginner but can you please put up your main sail
I've never heard of someone only running a foresail. It's called a mainsail for a reason.
Don’t you have any charts, that way you can always pretty much pinpoint your position, especially important if you start having serious problems
modestly a good a trait ,enjoying with felt honest sensible ,passion you exude is a joyful to watch. 🙏 blessings and protection ,keep rocking
Keep going , best raise yer main first , get used to it , watch yer tell tales, you'll soon get it trimmed .
I almost traded my motorcycle for a 27 foot 1980 Chrysler at one point….was going to wing it and just live on it… I just couldn't find a slip for it… I wish I had done it though
Your self dialogue makes me nervous…
Make a cover for your electrical switchgear. Water on big days can come in and dribble down into the electrical stuff.
Dude! When solo sailing you should ALWAYS be clipped into lifelines. Run a line on both sides from cockpit to bow and you tether yourself to that. That way any time you go forward you are still physically connected to the boat.
Umm, you don’t tighten your backstay?
I would first! Get on a Yacht as weekend Crew for Experience gathering before going on Big Adventures!
Please!
This sailboat is perfect Rod!😍😍😍😍
Your doing a great job Rod 🥰🥰🥰
Slow is cautious which is good Rod.
Mainsail is for " stabilitity " headsail is for speed. So i've been tought
stay calm captain, you're in control, you're in charge, anything just go back to the mainland. Be well, good winds!
My first boat looked like yours. Love watching your video. Keep going.
Thanks for the sail, I really enjoyed that.
I got a boat 2 years ago Albin Vega 27 . And doing a bit like you . Learning by doing.. I dream to cross the ocean one day. I am in Den Helder Nederland now . The north zee Where I practice and prepare the boat for the adventure. .I enjoy you show.
You give me inner peace, after a divocre, and lost evrything og i follow your channel, it feels like your a friend. Thank you so much for your videos.
Best quote : “ what feels safe to me” :-). You remind me of myself going out for the first time. Great videos
The jib should face nearly into the wind. Don't just cinch it tight for all circumstances. This is a rookie mistake and I did it too in the beginning. A leaning boat is not moving as fast as it should. Figure out the sails to keep the boat upright as much as possible. Think of the sails as being airplane wings, not wind catchers.
Ok so under power youre being oushed from the back. Like a shopping cart going backwards.
Under sail the wind puts rhe pressure on the surface as it is opposed to the keel underneath. Basically acting like a wing. The boat will rock less from the constant pressure on the sail.
My guilty pleasure is the vibration of the power transferred from the sail to the hull….
You did a great job man , I hope you are still sailing ?
This is great! Keep sailing, it'll be second-nature before you know it.
Dear rod I'm just an old guy here in California Oregon but you're doing everything correctly. You are working at your new found education conservatively and that's wonderful. We learn mostly by doing rather than reading books. Your adventure spirit is clearly showing…. I've been around boats and living on boats in California for over 50 years. You are an inspiration to the young people who want to do this keep up the wonderful work blessings to you in yours
As someone that is looking for their first sailboat, your videos and honesty about nerves, etc. are so helpful. Thanks so much!
? Prob a stupid one I live in the mtns of wv I've been on a boat in the lakes and rivers but on the ocean if you get caught in a boat in a storm what do you do pull your sails and pray I respect the sea farrier takes balls loved the vid
Mistys uh beauty. shes lookin nice mate
I have much respect for you! You're right, sometimes you just have to commit. Well done!
that was a great day to learn.
Wee suggestion, check out putting wools or tell tales up the luff of your sails. it makes sail trimming easy and when heaving to, the tiller is pointed down wind so that the boat is trying to come round and tack but the back winded headsail prevents that happening. I went through the same experiences with a little 24 foot ply yacht in the seventies. You are doing great, good luck.
Great videos, keep them as they are – so many videos are ruined with slick editing and music nobody wants to hear. You have a great rapport with your audience, I enjoy being onboard. I've sailed for many years, but really enjoy your enthusiasm and willingness to learn as you go along. Well done !
Lovely video , you dont run a marathon before you can walk . Good luck and keep safe .
Hi Rokkit I am a retired commercial fisherman and I too am leaning to sail. My neighbor is a sail instructor and professional Capt. He's not just neighbor he's also my friend.
Here's a few things that I have learned. 1 never let your lines hit the water there as nothing worse than getting a line caught in the prop.
Your winches are two speed if you go one direction your winch is one to one ( that's speed ) when you go the other direct that's your power ( that helps you trim the sails )
We like to take the gib sheet and the furler and throw them down the causeway. This keeps " ass holes" out of your lines ( yes that's a thing! ) Thats what the twiste's ( beginning's of knots ) are called.
You can also throw your lines behind your or you can use your winches by looping the line over the winch in uniform loose loops. This way you can either throw the line behind you or down the causeway ( keeping ass holes out of your line ) so you can work quickly and efficiently.
Your winches are most powerful with three wraps of line around them. On the starboard side ( right side ) wrap your line around the winch counter clockwise and on the port side ( left ) wrap your line around the winch clockwise.
Always wrap your gib sheets twords you.
And one more thing very important! If you think it's time to reef your main and your gib then your too late.
Get used to being happy sailing at 80% … ⛵🤘💯🤘😊✌️
Great work. I also am new to sailing and starting to lean it 🙂
Where I can buy that blue tiller?
Fantastic man ! So good to watch I actually had the mild nerves you get first time. There's not much more exciting than learning to sail, playing Captain Cook.
Woowo, way to go first timers
still got the boat?
