Thank you for sharing your sailing experiences on KZbin. They are truly informative and entertaining! It was an honest and fun mini-documentary of your fun vacation. I did not know about the Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages until yesterday. And the fact that they offer a complimentary Catalina 22? That is simply marvelous! I will definitely be planning a trip to Key Largo, partly on the strength of your video! Best to you, Markus and Greta! May you continue to sail to fair winds and adventure!

The C-22 is a standard fractional rig. It gets the majority of it's power from the main sail. When getting too much weather helm, it is best to take in a reef. Attempts to combat weather helm by reducing the amount of jib you have "reefed" in are seldom productive. A roller furling system makes for a handy way to deploy or store a foresail but not very good at "reefing". Sailors who'd like to have the ability to actually have a "reefing" jib can turn to sailmakers that build the reefing sail by way of a foam luff that take out the belly in a reefing jib. By looking at your video, you may get better performance in your rig by taking the main down a reef point in the main and leaving the jib where it sits. You might just get a faster, flatter ride. Other than that, It sure looks looks like fun!

It was my understanding that the main sail is mainly for balance and power comes from the Headsail. Flatten the sails and let out the main sheet just slightly to stop the heel.

Am just using a 60k btu burner with a large stock pot. At such small scale it makes no sense to build and RO or build a wood burner. It all seems so crazy, but fun. Thanks for vid.

Let the travelor all of the way down, let your jib out (totally unfurl) pull on some vang, put on some outhaul and downhaul, then enjoy a fast, flat sail with neutral helm. You shouldn't feel anything but a light pull on the tiller in 12 -18 knots. In other words, flatten your sails. Feather up ever so slightly just ahead of the puffs, then drop right back down to your course...assuming you're on a beat. Any time you're off the wind, head down in the puffs and let it push you up to speed on a flat hull, head up slightly in the lulls. Hope some of that helps. It's great to see you're having fun! Cheers to Catalina 22's.

You can connect the main sheet to the jib halyard and either forestay or trailer. You can very easily put the mast on your shoulder then pull the sheet with one hand and guide the mast with the other. I’ve done it lots of times.

Moving the genoa sheet blocks forward, especially when the genoa is partially furled, will relieve some of that helm pressure making the boat round up. You won't need to crank the rudder so far over to hold the nose down, and the boat will be overall more manageable in a gust like that or in a blow. Hope it helps. Fair winds.

One of the huge flaws in the tanzer 8 was the windows just above the rub rail. They go completely underwater on a reach, my gf looked up at me from below, when we first got her and said the windows are under water. I replaced the windows (with blue lexan, bullet proof) and used marine caulking too seal them. So funny too think about, i was cool as a cucumber back then. Yellow better colour.
