From about 17:50 to 19:00 Steve is "fighting" the boat with the rudder to counter the bow's natural tendency to describe circles in the air. A good helmsman learns to minimize rudder usage. Helm pressure always generates drag which reduces boat speed. Instead of fighting the boat's natural movements on the waves, try to keep the rudder more or less fixed while letting the bow "circle" around your desired heading. Ideally, the helmsman is always trying to find the helm position that keeps the boat pointing to the right place IN AVERAGE. In other words, let the boat move in the water, keep the helm as fixed as possible.

I was noticing that as well. Excessive "weather helm" it appeared to me. The tendency to round up can often be improved by moving the center of effort of the wind forward, i.e. helping push the bow down wind. So more jib, less main may help balance Arabella. So maybe a reef in the main and unfurl the jib or bust out the stays'l if it's not already out. Weather helm is however much better than lee helm!

@@allgonquin the weather helm seems to be consistent with the sea and wind conditions given the design's age, weight and other considerations. We can see Steve bringing the helm a lot to weather and then some to lee again and again as the waves pass. He needs live coaching. Also, Arabela is heavier than she should be. I just hope he doesn't learn from his own mistakes. It's expensive and often painful.

@sysfx Having grown up sailing heavy, full keeled, tiller-helmed boats, what you describe is spot-on. Folks new to helming will always over-steer until they get the feel for what the boat wants to do and learn that they shouldn't fight it. I do wonder if having a gaff rig puts an undo amount of weather helm on, as the lower clew will always be trimmed more inboard than you'd ideally want for that point of sail.

I've been watching A2A since around episode 10, at that time I was going through cancer treatment for stage 2 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It was Steve's channel along with Leo's Tally Ho and Salt & Tar's Rediviva that got me through it. I've been in remission now for going on 4 years and continue to watch each week. I was surprised Christmas day when I opened a present and it was an Acorn to Arabella T-Shirt that my daughter got me. Keep up the great work Steve, nice to see you have added a life partner to your crew. Your weekly video's got me through some tough times. Hoping you had a great holiday and even a better New Year...

Steve, when you are running offshore you can run a temp lifeline from the toe rail near the bow back to the shrouds and then back to the cockpit. Should be waist high or so. Will give a some security and something to grab in the case of a misstep. Much better than nothing at all. I've done it on a catamaran I sailed without lifelines. At the shrouds either use a clove hitch with the line itself or using a temp lashing with a short piece of line.

Enjoying that you're getting your feet wet... I have been on board with you since you poured the keel..! I want to comment on your exterior electronics. Speaking from experience, the ocean will eat those alive unless you separate them from the elements. Even then, they will absorb moisture, which will short life expectancy. Additionally, I noticed some very bright glare during your departure in the early and dark am hours. It is extremely important that your eyes relax. Darken down your steering station to only red light, close or cover all light from below deck and you'll be much more confident of your surroundings! Likely you've already got this covered, just another helpful hint. Enjoy those exciting times ahead:)

Surfing gear might be an option to consider. A pair of 8mm wetsuit booties keeps the feet comfortable even in 1C water (and no doubt below if you're in salt water, but I've only used them surfing the great lakes). No need to worry about getting water inside or taking them off if you fall in. Now you just need to put some surf wax on deck, and you're set! :) Btw, I like how your idea of learning to sail is doing so in winter, when everyone's got their boat hauled out. Very in keeping with the channel.

Boots that float (Even slightly buoyant) should be left on in the event of an MOB. Water in the boot is not heavier than water outside the boot... Even if they fill with water they will help keep you harm and afloat.

I've been capsized and rescued twice. I suggest you do two things. 1. Throw yourself overboard while strapped in and see if you can get back in the boat without help (while under way). Not as easy as it sounds. 2. Jump in the water with your pfd on and see if it fits. Most people have the straps too loose (for comfort) and the pfd can't work properly.

DO NOT KICK OFF YOUR BOOTS IF YOU END UP IN COLD WATER SAILING!!!! Your lifejacket has more than enough buoyancy to keep you afloat. Even full of water, your feet will be way warmer keeping the boots on. It is not the recommended thing to do in safety at sea courses. I know someone who ended up in the water kicked off his boots and instantly regretted it.

Now that's the proper technique with a tiller! Do not disturb the sleeping dog. So reminded me of our Lab Boo, who loved sailing, motoring, or just sleeping on the boat. One of her best spots was up under our overturned dinghy and although she was always clipped in, she loved as we pulled in to a new dock to rush out furiously barking and wagging her tail to scare the crap out of dockhands who had come down to help with the lines. Quite a year for all of you, thanks for sharing it with all of us. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

To all the Arabella's crew and the craftsmen (and women) who built her; it's incredibly stirring to see her under sail in the open waters, handling well and proudly, while Steve is transitioning from builder to a blue water sailor and skipper. Steve, Robin, Anne, (and Akiva), Merry Christmas and a wonderfully Happy New Year,

Steve/Anne/Ben, I know you have a busy schedule but when things calm down, maybe do an episode on the status of the boat, projects still being worked on, planned projects. Thoughts in general, etc. etc. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the whole team! Keeping your Mom in my prayers.
