1. Good advice on getting into sailing. My story is the silliest way to get into sailing and boat ownership . I built a boat from plans with no idea how to sail or even where to start on a boat build job knowing nothing. Some how i managed to build it then learn to sail before cruising along the Queensland coast Australia. Being a glutton for punishment after some 10 years i decided to build a larger boat almost completed now. It's possible to go down this road but if i had my time over i would at least get on other boats and go sailing for a year or so first to learn the ropes.

2. Been sailing for 60 years and this is an excellent review – suspect you might need some real experience to recognize value when it appears, but well done nonetheless!!

3. What perfect timing. I literally moved to Rio Dulce, Guatemala a week ago and bought a sailboat with nothing but coastal sailing experience. Thanks very much.

4. That was beautiful can't wait for more hope you have engine worked out I send vedio to friends hope you check your ejector for reduced spray patterns most can't wait for next vedio I think your reading my thoughts the future vedio are going be amazing ❤

5. Good on you James!

6. Study, videos, educate yourself with what works for you – and yes, you can teach yourself as thousands of us have.
   Then ……
   Buy small and simple boat.
   Sail (and maintain/improve) small and simple boat.
   Sell small and simple boat.
   Buy better boat, sail, …….. repeat.

   If you’re strong headed, independent, introverted and just want to be a skipper – just do your own thing as per above.

   Crewing, courses, charters etc is probably for the more extroverted people.

7. I'm building a small sailing pram dinghy in order to start my boating adventures 🙂 and you are one of the people that inspired me. Thank you very much.

8. James this. Is awesome! I don't know if I'm a future sailor or not but I love to learn from your experience. We have our house on the market and have not made any plans as to where we're going to go next. Yes its very exciting and freeing. So who knows what's next. Anyways, love this series your doing and thanks as always for sharing with us all.

9. Thanks James Very Informative and eye opening

10. Great , stuff !

11. Good reality check on the topic of needs and "must haves". And what's with the obsession with furniture quality cabinetry? Radar? Freezers and refrigerators? More stuff, the more that can go wrong.

12. I spent my covid stimulus on a siren 17 sailboat and started in a lake.
    This year I started sailing the Chesapeake and have been averaging 60 miles per week in the upper bay. ( I feel super small out there 😁
    I hope to upgrade to a Flicka or cape Dory in another year or so.
    Till then I am gaining experience and having a fantastic time doing so.

13. This is the perfect mini series for me. My biggest question overall though is how in the world I make money when I'm out at sea for a month or more at a time. Every place you go costs money one way or another between slip fees and maintenance and food and water. 30 days at sea with no income, then spending money as soon as you get somewhere before you can even make more money eludes me.

14. At a lull in my dreams, this is just what I need.

15. Awesome series starter. My wife and I took a basic keel boat class (we thought it was worth the cost, non ASA) and bought an 18 foot trailer sailor for $1200. We love it and are enjoying the process.

16. Great video am looking forward to the next! I happened upon sailing in my 20’s when visiting home in Sicily and fell in love! Bought an old 23’ precision sloop and lived on it sailing around the Caribbean for almost 20 years till I became disabled and had to live land locked sadly! There is no feeling in the world like you get from being in the wind! I’m 57 now and am thinking about buying another boat and hiring a captain and crew to sail her for me. I’m looking into a good blue water Beneteau around 50’ as I want to sail back to Sicily and remain cruising in the Mediterranean and up to Scotland/Ireland where my dads side of the family is from and would love to learn of a resource for hiring a captain that is trustworthy etc. I’m willing to work out a deal as far as pay/ free accommodations and expenses combo etc and wonder if you have any suggestion. I’m unable physically to run rigging etc as I have limited strength but can def help out on decks cleaning cooking etc or hiring a chef but definitely will need a experienced ocean crossing captain and a mate. I could look into an extra crew just to let someone interested in getting into sailing come aboard for the experience even though the size boat I’m wanting doesn’t really need 3 but who knows I may end up with a larger boat but I’m really trying to stay at 50’. Thanks for any advice and again can’t wait for your next video! I love the directness and sound advice that obviously comes from your hard way learned experience lol!

17. Thanks for taking the time to share this info with your viewers.

18. lol – "like driving gokarts". YES! that is exactly what how I always describe sailing my Sunfish. Capsizing and "not wanting to capsize" are fantastic learning experiences. Now, if the darn thing would just 'point', i may not come in dead last in the mixed class fleet heats. lol

19. What is your biggest worry when doing ocean passages

20. I agree that would not be good

21. Is the purpose of the keel to keep you from tipping
