0:37 No offense, but you're mixing up the terminology on this device, and there are differences in these devices. This is not an EPIRB or type of EPIRB. EPIRBs are designed to be installed on boats. The activate automatically, are designed to float, and can transmit longer due to larger batteries. This is a personal locator beacon - PLB. Personal beacons are just that, personal. They're designed to be used by hikers, skiers, anyone in the outdoors who might need to signal for help. PLBs can be used on boats, but most are not specific to boats. The particular model you have there, the ACR ResQLink+ is simply a regular PLB that is designed to float. Unlike an EPIRB, it does not activate automatically. It also does not have any AIS functionality, which is a separate location reporting system that uses VHF radio, and is not related to satellites at all. Also, distress signals from PLBs do not necessarily rely on the receiving satellite traveling "a little further" to relay its message. PLBs can transmit to a varied network of satellites - some in low earth orbit, and some in geostationary orbit, which maintain the the same position over the ground at all times. In the US for instance, there are two geostationary sats overhead at all times. Your PLB can transmit to them very quickly, and most signals are received within 5 minutes. This fact is an improvement over the functionality of something like Garmin Inreach, a 2-way satellite messenger (not a PLB) that can only communicate with a private sat network in low earth orbit, with satellites coming and going about every 100 minutes.

Great video with many great tips. On your trip you had an autopilot problem. After watching Nick a naval architect from DMS Marine while planing my own all metal hull trimeran it seems everything needs a backup and to be duplicated. Twin diesels, twin water makers and twin navigation computers and instruments etc. Why didnt you have a second autopilot and simply switch out the malfunctioning one? Regards Philip

Would you use a 170N for warm water ocean sailing? Or would you go 275N? With TeamO’s new jackets, what is the weight/size difference between the two?

Good video but don’t test-inflate your life jacket by breathing into your inflation tube; it puts moisture inside the bladder which can encourage damage.

Hello Chris. Thanks for this video, learned a lot. In 32:30 you mentioned demonstrating how to spin the loads off the drum e.g. for a tack. I've been struggling with this ever since we purchased new jib sheets out of high tech line, and they keep getting "pig tails". We must be adding more and more twist with every tack and tired of flaking the lines to get the twist out. Did you ever upload a video that covered this topic, or, have some recommended reading/watching? Cheers!

this is a great instructional video...one of the best i've seen. i have subscribed and hope to learn more. i have one suggestion, which i learned from old books on sailing and rigging...if you put a final turn around the attachment ring before hitching, after you've rove the required number of lashing turns, it's like a turn around a cleat before cleating off. it allows you to easily release the hitches on demand, and lessens the friction of the hitches, which is mostly taken up by the final turn around the ring. after that i love the polish method of hitching alternate sides of the lashing, since that is bound to spread the load the most.

Hi man, I buildt one a while ago. Sadly, because of family matters, I had sold it, and I miss my sailboat every day. It´s a great and capable boat. Don´t believe to much on the negative comments you may find around, It´s a great sailboat. It´s fast, it´s safe, it´s confortable. Have fun, we are looking forward to see you sailing around with this beautiful vessel. For the mast, I used a tree, a eucaliptus tree, with 4 inches at the base. Unbreakable, and not that heavy, and super cheap solution. The pictures of my weekender are at the Mr. Stevenson website, page 18 I think. Again, it´s a pain in my heart, how I miss her.

I built one of these and LOVE it. Wouldn't be too hard to just make a new mast, update paint and varnish, transition the steering wheel to a tiller, get sails and your off! Hope you're able to bring her back to life!

Hi Chris, great to see these videos of you bringing Spirit back up from Antigua. I also stopped in Bermuda when I took her down to Antigua for the Caribbean 600 race you and I did together with AJ and Viv. I just want to give a sincere shoutout to Steve & Suzanne Hollis of Ocean Sails in St. George's. They are really wonderful people and Steve went way above & beyond in helping me source replacement batteries when the lithium iron phosphates became problematic (the BCU kept shutting everything down and dead-shipping the vessel). Steve also tidied-up the solent batten pockets and bolt-rope with which we had some issues. Anyone needing high quality work on sails and canvass whilst in Bermuda should call Ocean Sails. You might recall me telling you what a fast and furious time my mate Tony & I had sailing between Salem and Bermuda. Top speed was 23 knots and we covered 308nm in a 24 hour period. 560 in 48 hours. After all these years, as Spirit was built in 1990, she is still a fantastic boat to sail shorthanded and never felt out of control at higher speeds. But she is very wet and the saltwater firehose at those speeds made our eyes literally feel like they were bleeding. The little autopilot just couldn't handle the 25-35 kt broad reaching conditions, which was the other consideration (along with the battery problems) that made us want to diverted to St. George's. Thanks for reminding my how much fun we've had on Spirit. I look forward to sailing with you again soon! Cheers, Pete

Is there a reason that the boat doesn't have a wind vane as a backup for the autopilot? My dad always preferred an auxilliary rudder type, like a hydrovane. If you were to get hit by lightning and lost your electronics, you'd be stuck with only hand steering. On a passage from Bon Aire to Florida, we got hit by lightning. We lost all the electrics except the house batteries, alternator on the engine, and the backup radio (which we stored in the oven during the storm). We had a Hydrovane, our sextants, charts, a calibrated compass, and good charts . . . so we decided to keep sailing, as Florida was better for repairs anyway. I crossed the Atlantic three times with my dad on a Pearson 39-2 (monohull). We also sailed from Maine to Santa Barbara, CA through the canal and then to Hawaii (my graduation trip). Of course that was before GPS or Solar cells. He and I had a bit of a competition every day, plotting our location and updating the chart, (my lines were Red, his were black).

So a month later ......... I happily re watched your Utube...No bell rope comments this time.👍. Since then I have been pinged on my Honda 1100 40k over the limit and I think I spat the the dummy a little bit by deciding to stop being an inebriated commentator and a revenue source for a sad State government, and get my arse back to sea whilst I can. So that $1100 ticket (matches the CC of my machine) has been the inspiration to go looking for a boat...... I found one......! But its in SF and I am in Qld Oz, I am ready to make a booking for a flight to inspect but I am in a bind (work commitments) to get it moved (needs new standing rigging B4 moving) to a port for transshipment to the Med. So dear sir, banter about rum and bourbon aside, I would welcome like some sage opinion & advice (39' folding Tri) about getting it either north to Vancouver or south to Costa Rica/Panama for a pick up. I have my own opinion, but a second opinion is more than welcome.

@@CSMtheMariner - Half inebriated,....! Way too generous - One of my ol shipmates makes the smoothest bourbon moonshine this side of the Windies ( I use & I like.. : ) )As for Rope I sailed with a "real" old marlin spike sailor for wee while when I was on "Zebu" as part of Operation Raleigh . He knotted up a basic bell rope in about 10 minutes, that was very very impressive, I was struggling with the 5th tuck on a Turks Head. He regaled a story that he had made what for him was an intricate "Bell Rope" and presented it the the Captain of "HMY Britannica" when it was visiting Cairns in the mid 80's. He was invited onboard by the Captain (rare event) and the Bell Rope was promptly put in a display box with about 30 other "Bell Ropes" presented to previous Captains of "Britannica" by old world sailors before him. The Captain promised his rope would be used before the Royal Yacht sailed From Cairns and would go into rotation thereafter. So you were saying.......; ) Don't know how your feed ended up in my recommendations. But I like your approach to sailing and passage making, and happy it did.

I have been watching that boat since it showed up in the Whitsundays (what seems eons ago). I absolutely love Antigua but my last visit was before that boat showed up in the aforementioned neck of the woods. When it was for sale with J & C (in hindsight) I should have been the next owner...... I like your style so subbed. I used to run a HSW70 (004) I ran a crew of 2 + me whilst the sister-ships ran 7 + Skip between West Indies and New England. Less was always better. Cheers. Ps That boat at sea with no fence is like a KTM at full noise dodging kangaroos in the bush near sunset with no fence.

Dude, that is so not a code zero. Code zero measures as a spinnaker, which means mid girth is AT LEAST 75% of the foot length. In IRC racing currently there is a new definition of an oversized jib called a “tweener”. Intended for boats that have non overlapping jibs rather than genoas. There is a rating penalty associated with this sail that a Code Zero doesn’t incur (because it’s actually, technically, a spinnaker). What you are flying in this video may have started life as Code Zero and was cut down (perhaps why the back part of the graphic is absent). But it is effectively now a Jib Top, which has a high clew so it is relatively insensitive to lead position when cracked off a bit. Good close reaching sail.
