1. She's doing fine. If I'd known you were out there off Halifax I'd have come and gotten you. The approaches can be intimidating at times, howerver, when you have that class B AIS on transmitting in the approaches everyone is watching. Halifax Traffic is keeping an eye, pilot boat crew here in Halifax is second to none ( emergent situations they will respond RFN), ship crews approaching harbour are paying attention for the approach. I'm out there almost every day, have been sailing this harbour 25 years. To put it lightly, generally do around 2000 nm yearly right around Halifax….sailing is my job….well sort of … old ret Medic at large.

2. What type of tablet is that and what is the navigation software? Cool boat!

3. That wind vane seems to be integrated into the rudder/tiller design, I don't remember you covering that in the build videos. Anyway, everything looks great.

4. Was sorry to hear that your mom died Alan. Like many others, I enjoy the videos you work so hard to make and then we consume in minutes. Thank you. If you ever have time to explain the process, I’m curious what is involved/ required in entering a busy harbour like Halifax? Is permission required? Is the traffic controlled similar to an airport for example? Would you require insurance or perhaps subjected to a Transport Canada inspection from time to time? Randall

5. Once again , very nice video, I can see by your smiling face you are enjoying WR2

6. Glad you found a safe harbor to leave the boat for the storm. One thing that you never touched on throughout the whole build that i was waiting for an episode on – getting the home built boat all registered and insured. I'm sure many others are curious about this too. Did you have to have it surveyed before the insurance company would give you a policy? What about registering the boat? I really thought that you would have done an episode on all of these things once you got close to launch – food for thought.

7. This is so amazing, considering also it's a small boat.

   Feeling very inspired to start building my 34ft catamaran now.

8. Hi Alan, she looking mighty fine. I'm surprised that you have no safety lines around the sides.
   Very tidy and neat. Well done Sir , she is a credit to you ! ❤ fair winds and safe passage .
   Cheers, John.

9. First, great video, boat performed fantastic.

   Couple questions/requests:

   With the cloudy weather how much were you getting from the panels?

   When you mention wind speed can you say how fast you are currently going?

   Gonna be a great ride. Glad to be along for it.

10. I always enjoy my second watch of your videos Alan. WRII looks very ship shape. Thank you for the video and have a good weekend ahead.

11. She zips right along…❤

12. She's so beautiful! Great job Skipper! BTW is there any way to heave-to with Junk rig?

13. Allen, what is your "self-rescue" plan if you fall overboard in harness ?

14. I can’t recall if you have a dinghy plan for this boat, but I found myself suddenly wondering about that. Are you carrying an inflatable down below?

15. Love the junk rig, Alan, and just so classic for a boat of your caliber. Well done, my friend.

16. I was wondering if anyone else built a boat to sail across the ocean with you. I remember you inviting us to all sail together. I’m not there because my wife said no.

17. Old blue water sailor here, but no junk rig experience. I just question the "main sheet" attachment to your pushpit – seems like a single, relatively small, shackle. I would question that, and the fact that all the sail loads are in turn transmitted to the pushpit. I've previously mentioned the relatively thin looking (hard to tell on the video) hinges of your hatch, they just seem a bit underdimensioned for such a critical thing, to ensure most of your water tight integrity. Not trying to be overcritical, and I am really impressed with what you have accomplished with WRII!

18. Why does your bottom sail panel never flatten? Is the halyard twoblocked up there? Or does this happen for some reason that doesn't have to do with the halyard? Great to see you sailing offshore after all this effort.

19. Alan, that motor seems ideal for Wave Rover. You probably already know this, but my experience with small 4 stroke outboards has been that it is prudent to only use ethanol-free gasoline to avoid clogging those tiny carburetor jets. The extra length on that sail-pro is marvelous!

20. Sorry for your lose.
    Look up don green at merimarine he can make that part (ufro) ?, out of pom.
    Thank you everything looks great.

21. Thank you. I really enjoy your videos. My condolences regarding your loss. 🌹

22. Not only is it your journey, it's the journey of a junk rig, twin keels and of course WRII herself – many will be following with interest on many levels!

23. @23:16 the thing that broke….can someone type out the word for that thing for me? I've never heard the word before.
    thanks!
    Enjoying these videos, thanks for making them.
    Was wondering about the hurricane and if this was before or after….good to know when this was.
    sorry to hear about your mom.

24. I cant imagine how proud you must be to have built that boat your self and then sail it successfully. Congrats on the passage.

25. You Sir, have manifested ky Dream Boat. Well done. Just Love it.
    Thank You and Godspeed

26. Great Videos! What are the advantages of the junk rig vs a traditional mainsail?

27. Just watched the vid again, I really like the simplicity of the interior, well done, a proper yacht!

28. How do you like the twin keels and junk sails compared to your last boat? Looks like a really comfortable sail.

29. Excellent video, Alan! Good to see you have a jack-line rigged now.

30. Thanks

31. Please make a detailed video about the windwane. Thanks.

32. My condolences for your loss.🌸

33. I have a junk rigged boat and it is very easy to get a line in the wrong place and need to disentangle it.

34. Great video 👍🏻👍🏻

35. 45 degrees into the wind with a cat – junk rig? This is a great design and a great build. Mingming II had a limit of 50 degrees and couldn't make any headway at all in heavy winds.

36. You've certainly got everything looking tidy and very ship shape! Congratulations, the design and concept looks to be very very successful, happy for you and a really great vid

37. So sorry for your loss, our prayers to you and your family.. Fair Winds and Following Seas my Friend!!

38. Alen do you have a series drogue or sea anchor?

39. is sailing a junk rig similar to sailing a sloop with just the head sail?

40. Sorry for your loss, I'm sure WR will be fine. John
