1. They do make limiters for self-tacking jibs to eliminate the tie off method.

2. JAMES.. WE Always enjoy your videos.. just counting down tye days till we are out there too. We learn something from every video.. THANK YOU!

3. Is it possible to easily rig, the sail out of self tack and then get it back to self tacking? How hard is it? Might make sense to do before long passage especially if you are on sand tack for days…

4. This guitar music is GREAT!

5. Hey Mate, will u visit Kimmi when you are in Europe? We still miss her!

6. The narration, story, writing, and imaging is superior

7. Enjoyed the style,,great series

8. FYI OpenCPN can do what PredictWind does for free. Just requires a little more setup.

9. The humor and interaction between people is missing from this new format. I see what you are trying to do, but it's stiff. I know … this is just my opinion. But, I've enjoyed your vlog for a long time and I think you've taken the life out of it by going in this direction.

10. Another entry in the captains log and once again I listened and watched to the end … well done Captain.

11. James, the Captains Log videos are some of your best content I've enjoyed.
    Keep it up lad, well done. ⛵

12. When does it become a genny, at the 100% or does it have to be over the 100%? diggin' this log format, real interesting

13. Best intro man!🤙🤙

14. James, met you at the boat show after the Delos lecture, pleasure. Just wanted to say that I LOVE the captains log format!

15. Self tacking? I love mine, but it's a late modification that is only semi-self tacking. I built a long straight track immediately forward of the mast with a car controlled by typical mainsheet traveler controls led to the helm.
    I can tack from the helm by releasing one control line and pulling the car across with little effort, I can control the sheeting angle along the car, and importantly, I can still heave to by leaving the jib control car on the windward side.
    Heaving to always leaves a slow forward progress, which I control by how many reefs I have in the main, and heaving to isn't just for storms – I can't count how many times I just wanted a peaceful time to cook, shower and enjoy a quiet dinner before getting going again.
    Because of the loss of jib area, I made the main roachier with full battens to compensate, leaving broad reaching performance as before.
    Agreed, downwind the small jib loses it below 30-45 degrees downwind from a beam reach, but I find sailing on the roachy main alone is quite fine with a fresh breeze, and when the winds are light the top down furler sails (a 6oz 120% code zero and 4oz normal cruising chute) with the extendable bowsprit are amazingly enjoyable. So quiet, so peaceful, so easy on the autopilot)
    Note: don't simply put on an extending bowsprit, go to the effort of adding a masthead crane to place the top down furlers clear of the jib roller furler and eliminate the risk of tangling the light wind sails in the jib roller.
    Put some thought and money into your sail plan and keep going even when you're old and wobbly.

16. Tank you very much for making this video! No useful feedback. Keep going please 🙂

17. Love it

18. I really like this! Good job👍

19. Our staysail is on a self tacker, we have stoppers along the track to keep the car in place for heaving or sail trim. We have to go forward to raise the staysail so we set the car stops accordingly if we are offshore.

    As for our genny, it is a 130 lowcut Hydranet, sheeted regularly.

20. Libre this new style but also missing seeing the yacht and crew at work. Please do both

21. another great one!

22. Awesome storytelling, love the acoustic guitar playing in the background. Makes me feel like I'm below decks and being regaled with some great seafaring tale …. ( Great job James, love the format)🏝🏝

23. Are you going to get a Mumby Cyber 48? By the way, your voice sounds amazing but I think it's the equipment your using. Not sure how all of that stuff works but it's pretty cool.
