1. Love how you guys tailored the whole sail plan

2. Excellent sale summary, always interesting to see how problems get solved when your life and comfort depends on those modifications and adaptations!

3. This video added a needed dimension of "reality" for sailors and non-sailors alike. Sailing requires skill, patience, and knowledge to be truly enjoyable. Control is comfort.

4. Really well done guys. Clear thorough explanations of one side of why I love Uma so much. Sorry I didn't get to see more of my beloved Sardegna. Hope that's coming up. Hugs!

5. Great video, and nice to have this thrown into your mix. I also had a thankfully ‘never used’ storm jib on my boat. How do you hoist this one with your roller reefing fitted? Would you have to take down the genoa before hoisting the storm jib?

6. Back to sailing and talking about sailing. A good one for the non sailors. Enjoyed it just watching the sailing. Is it time for another 30 mins of unedited just sailing?

7. In the 80’s, North Sails in San Diego created the “Gennaker”, aka the asymmetrical spinnaker.

8. Fantastic review! We have a Code Zero and it makes the difference for us between motoring and sailing our Bayfield 36 in the PNW in the summer!

9. 👌🏻👍🏻 thanks! Very clarifying video

10. I really like your 12:1 boom vang and that code zero is dreamy! I have never seen folding wench handles before, how do you like them? I had a new cruising mainsail cut with not battens. I really had to work to find a sailmaker who knew how to make this old school cut. With no battens I loose some power but I can raise and lower the sail pointed in any direction and the sail has lasted and lasted. I lost 15% sail area but I still make the same miles per day, with good sailing and proper head sails. I also cut the jib down from 110% to 90% and set it on a boom for self tacking. That made it really easy to short tack up a narrow channel. Since a boom acts like a whisker pole I often beat larger faster cruisers because they did not have the crew to set a whisker pole or they weren't rigged for a pole.

11. Great video! I didn't understand how the main sheet pervanter works? Does it work for both sides? And if so how? Thanks

12. Thanks for the sail update, from an old sailor who misses his former sailing life. Now land-yachting in the states. Enjoy the adventure.

13. Great explanation👍. Every sailor should sail like you and only use the diesel very sparingly👍

14. I have worked as an Industrial Rigger for more than 50 years,, I have learned more about sailing in the past 30 minutes than in all those years put together…

15. As a non-sailor, I've learned a few useful things from you guys over the years, this really helps

16. How do the genoa cars move back and forth? It wasn't clear from where you were shooting.

17. How much is that lowering world temperatures?

18. This episode was so interesting to me as a non-sailor who’s followed you for a while. I had developed sort of my own understanding of what you meant when you referenced different sails and different sailing conditions but was never quite sure if I was understanding correctly or not.

19. well folks . same unbelievably presented video . loads of slick editing . a real insight into how you folk have survived the cruel sea and still come up smiling . You folk would be a priceless addition for any cruiser sailboat owner .

20. What a fantastic step; thank you both. My Ranger 29 (same era) had the same mast set up as your Pearson. Like you said, it's fine. When I upgraded to a J/42, it came with a Tides Marine SailTrack. You hang out with cruisers, so you have probably seen them before. There are no ball bearings, but the main drops instantly, and I can reef the main downwind. It will likely install directly into your existing track. Something to think about for the future.

21. I enjoyed your discussion of your sail inventory and running gear. Try: Gen O A!

22. Thanks for the lesson professor lol In the next edition we will show you our motor are electory motor…. Cool anticipating the moment that you do lol

23. I can relate, having to learn to be a better sailor, when I was a teen we hade a Rhodes 19 without a motor and it forced me to become a better sailor.

24. The cutest sailing couple on the water.

25. Great explanation! Love you guys.

26. I disagree that cockpit mainsail (slab) reefing is necessarily a bonus. Because I often sail single handed, I would definitely change a boat (>10m or so) rigged this way back to reefing at the mast. However, even boats with crews should not have to wake people who are off watch to take in or shake out a reef.
    Particularly when shaking out a reef, there's always the chance of something catching, whether it be sailcloth catching around a mast cleat, or a halyard looping around a steaming light, or a number of other pesky contingencies.
    If the place you have to be to resolve the situation is not the place where the winch is, you will need to be in two places at once. And that situation is much more likely to have arisen because, stuck under the dodger, the chances are you will not see the problem soon enough to avert it, and may even do damage if there's already a decent amount of friction before the foul-up happens. Particularly when a powered winch is being used. This can be a major liability.
    There are ways of dealing with this on smaller boats (maybe 10m or less, depending on the strength and capability of the crew) but in cases where a winch is essential to raise the sail, I would not feel comfortable single handing with cockpit-only reefing

27. Not knowing anything about sailing, what are rifing points ?

28. Great video guys!

29. No beating around the bush streight foreward operating explanations of sailboating ..

30. You guys are awesome.

31. Thanks so much for another enjoyable episode. As an ex-cruiser/ racer in the Salish Sea, I just got a refresher on how to cruise without stress, or that stinky fossil fuel.

32. More of this. Boat explanations.

33. Great teachers!

34. Keep the sail up !!

35. So say Salty

36. It is interesting to see what sail plan each boat has. Thanks for sharing yours and why.

37. I love this episode! I grew up sailing… then stopped because the ICWB in my area of Florida is just a ditch. But after years, I’m married to an amazing woman who wants to enjoy life on a boat too! I’m so excited to get back into the life and watching y’all for the past year and a half have made it all possible! Thank you!
