1. Thank you for good, down to Earth (or rather down to water) advices 🙂

2. I have sailomat 601, Now totally out of business, I was replacing eyebolt, same one not available, since then control rod fell off must go diving. I had 2 wind vanes kept this one since it was already installed. Other one I sold to Sam Holmes, he has sailed over most of North Atlantic. I would buy it back for what I sold it.

3. Excellent, well thought out and explained. Bit surprised you didn't say AIS receiver would have been on your required list. 👍

4. Good one James!

   I am a small sailboat sailor-although I can afford a “proper” seagoing boat I am lured by small boat passage making stories.

   Micheal Mann-Little Breeze a Montgomery 15-SoCal to Hawaii no GPS! Good book “Little Breeze to the West”

   Tinkerbelle a OldTown 13’ converted day sailor-sailed by Cleveland’s own Micheal Manery. Massachusetts to England-Good book also. He was greeted by a Russian sub during a lull and they gave him a bottle of Vodka and sent a message to his wife!

   Roger Taylor has a incredible 3 book series chronicling his multiple 80-90 day voyages on MingMing 1-2 converted 20 ish feet daysailors from the UK to the high Arctic. I would take his Ming-Ming 2 at 23’ anywhere on the Earth!

   Tim Teplow in a Potter 19 SaFran to Hawaii. Hardest time of the trip was Going out of San Fran bay under the bridge!

   And Finally
   Strawanza a little known Montgomery 17 that did SoCal to New Zealand with intentions of sailing to Namibia but the sailor abandoned plans because of personal problems back home. It is currently in Australia.

   I myself have a Montgomery 17 which I plan on Sailing SoCal to Hawaii within the next 3 years!

   Of course a couple of crazy thrill record seekers in silly short boats.

   Be well and keep up the great work!

5. DID ANYONE REMIND YOU TODAY
   HOW BEAUTIFUL 😍 YOU ARE?
   I LOVE YOU CAPTAIN JAMES ❤️
   🌈🌎🛡️💎😍❤️💋

6. Fantastic video very informative indeed. Yes I have noticed a lot of the sailing you tuber have their boats with all the new gadgets. Luckily most of them are very capable of repairs themselves and have spare parts with them already. And in some cases the manufacturer of what ever malfunctioned flies a team or has a satellite facility in where they are or close to, but not in all cases.
   Definitely a lot to think about if planning to purchase a boat to do long sails.
   Sail Safe

7. On the security episode I hope you can discuss the orcas off Gibraltar.

8. I like you very mutch, but what happen to your ears😁😁😁

9. You make my day better. Thanks

10. Excellent thank you

11. Thanks again, very honest and to the point. Seems to me the word of a honest person with experiences far outway the cosatal cruisers still gaining knowledge with the wisdom to use it. Goodluck, and this is great information for all, condersidering the first step to sailing.

12. What a great series of videos…i been a follower since the beginning days and have enjoyed all of the videos and knowledge you passed on to us

13. Is there a size boat that is too big for a wind vane? Like, over __ feet a wind vane doesn't work?

14. As someone nearing the end of their refit, this was great! Thank you. I have redundancies, but your advice was even more helpful. Tech advice 18:00

15. Thanks again for a great episode. I agree with you on most topics. Less equipment is good. Less chance of things breaking down. But make an episode about solar cells, batteries and the amount of equipment that draws electricity. only a suggestion. Good luck.👍😊

16. I have to say that I agree totally about buying a new boat. In general boats are built by low skill, low wage, labor. Most of the actual workers have never sailed any kind of boat and don't know how the components they are installing work. Quality depends on having a few people who have sailed and understand the systems and the entire construction process doing continuous quality control. That adds cost, which few manufacturers will do. In my opinion, a new boat always needs a serious shake down cruise just to find out what is going to break and what was simply done wrong. After that cruise the boat needs to go back to the builder, or a builder authorized repair yard to fix all the problems. One way to partly protect yourself when buying a new boat is to have a competent, independent surveyor go over the boat before you take delivery. Better yet on an expensive boat, hire a skilled project manager to oversee construction and demand that any flaws the project manager identifies be fixed during construction. The best project manager is someone who has worked in hands on boat construction and then worked as a yacht captain on the sort of boat being bought. Yes that isn't cheap, but it is worth it on these new million plus boats.

17. What a great video Thank you so much for this. And even if you think that a watermaker is not necessary (which I agree with), I'm really curious about the ICP Watermaker from MIT. Is it possible for you to do a short review for us please?

18. I'm buying a 27' to livaboard and start the whole life from scratch. This series is awesome. Of course, I've watched every single video of yours already most several times so that's a great foundation. It's amazing to see from when you were first sitting down at that table buying Tritea to here. It's a wonderful inspiring life story. Helps me to know I can do what I plan. One step at a time. I've had life changing events that made me realize it's time. Time to change it my way.
    So, thank you again for all you do to share your world with us, and the wisdom. It's a priceless gift seeing…yeah…it can be done.

19. Lots of great information here! 37:02 Having sailed tens of thousands of miles, built and repaired boats, I quickly learned that most people are simply incapable of major repairs. Echoing what you said, the more abilities you have, the more pleasant your sail will be. Make sure you have sufficient spare parts and the proper tools to repair or install them. The next thing; if you plan to sail with a partner or spouse, it is vitally important that both of you are equally committed. I delivered a number of boats from Mexico back to the states after a wife or partner jumped ship. I agree about not needing a water maker, but having one can completely change your ability to anchor for a much longer period.⛵️⛵️⛵️

20. Everyone needs Westsail ! 😄

21. great advice, considering a Pacific Seacraft.

22. And to take it to the extreme, Australian sailor Serge Testa circumnavigated (over 3 yrs) on his self built aluminium boat which was a shade under 12ft !!! Not that it is something I would wish to do. To me a 30ft boat is the minimum length to do some serious cruising, though plenty have sailed on smaller boats. The ideal length I think is actually 34 ft, (eg a S&S 34).

    At the moment I am in the process of potentially buying a 30ft boat, and it’s a proven blue water boat (Swanson 30). It’s 48 yrs old and is extremely strong..The boat has a new engine, new sails, new primary self tailing winches, new folding prop with a sail drive, and new B&G wind instruments. Having sailed on this boat (harbour racing) and worked on it over the last 2 years I am comfortable in knowing its a very capable boat. It doesn’t have a shower and the head is cramped. The galley is only ok, nothing flash and there are a raft of minor improvements which could be made to improve its cruising ability but it’s competed in many major offshore races (S2H etc) and cruised to NZ and back from Tassie (2.5K nm each way).

    Out here in Oz, boats are way more expensive to buy than in the US. I expect it going to cost me around $30K. And it needs some work and further upgrading, but the major costs have previously been dealt with.

    I agree with your thoughts re use of inbuilt chartplotters vrs something like an Ipad, and initially this would be my approach also, but in truth I would like a chartplotter on the boat in addition to the other nav systems (inc charts).

    Re radar, yes for most situations it’s not really necessary but an AIS receiver/transponder personally and importantly if you are a solo sailor these days I think actually makes a lot of good sense re your own safety at sea, especially if your making passages or sailing in crowded shipping zones. If your only coastal cruising then perhaps it’s not necessary.

    Having crossed the Tasman crewing on a 40ft boat we had an Iridium go and predict wind and yes it was so good to have this. Another option for such communication is a Garmin inreach. Starlink at this stage I would avoid.

23. Love this series!

24. Great info. Fair Winds

25. I love your channel! You hit me in the gut a couple times, but I'm out cruising on a hunter… with starlink 😂 she's doin fine so far! Your videos are an inspiration, keep it up!

26. Very well put together James. Although I haven't yet done ocean sailing but mostlly coastal sailing, I have been reading lots of great books about sailing, following other sailors and getting into a lot of things and pretty much I know all you are talking about. But that certainly will help lots of new sailors out there. Thanks for putting the effort and time to do these videos.

27. I was so glad to hear you talk about what you don’t need to ocean sail. When I watch Sail Life and Sv Delos, I’m blown away by the systems they’ve installed. Even if the equipment is free, those guys are electrical and computer wizards. It scares me away from ocean sailing. You’ve brought me back! Thanks.

28. Need vs Want. Definitely Need. Because when the Russians come, I NEED a way out! The sailors have the upper hand, should WW3 break out. REAL TALK here!

29. Sam Holmes! Pickled herring

30. Great insights…great series.

31. Did i miss a RDAR REFLECTER As a ex deep sea sailor a must

32. Encore Merci

33. Thank you James for your knowledge and information on these subjects 👍

34. Outstanding and excellent content . Currently in the middle of a refit on my 69 Alberg 30 Good ol boats . All the best from western Canada

35. This is a great series. Answering question I've had. Thank you. 1 question I have? How do you have money to do this?

36. James, are you ever sounding when coming in to harbor manually?

37. Have you tried dielectric grease on your phone and IPad charging cables? Might help.

38. Another great Video James. Thanks for sharing – really informative and valuable insights I much appreciate 😊

39. Great wisdom my boat a catamaran built in uk by an expert cat and boat builder done 40000nm what you said is true she’s ready to go now minor tidy needed😊

40. Absolutely loved "The things you don't need." So true. YouTube is painting a picture of sailing. It is just not true to be able to get out there and go learn and explore. Thank you for real truth. I'm so happy to see someone on the rise in this media, driven, and still be honest. Much love to you. Mad Respect. I look forward to your other spin off… talking to the people you meet and making it a full-on conversation. I thank you in advance. GREAT WORK SIR. Sextants are so sexy. I'm learning mine… a gift from a great friend that understands this sailing world. That's the conversation starter… Plotters are fun. But a sextant?!? Yeah, that's sailing. Traditions need to be taught and learned. I trust you to carry the torch of sailing in true form.

41. Episode 2 is fantastic.

42. Brilliant stuff mate. I’m obsessed with the idea of living aboard before i retire and your videos are very useful in my planning.

43. Brilliant informative, Thankyou

44. Less unexpected problems when you follow the KISS theory
    Keep it simple, stupid…
    Great series of vids
    Love ya work

45. really very very good mister thanks for putting in the time to make these series , as a new boat owner here in Norway im doing what you have done and can relate to this… can't say enough……well done sir … would get on paterion but i'm using all my money to fix up this beauty and to buy shit for boats ain't cheep !!!!
