This is a great channel. I really enjoy the way you do your videos. I do enjoy boat yard repairs. And when you’re out to see, I really enjoy the sailing not sitting in the cabin complaining about every little thing as I see on so many other videos. you’re a delightful young man and I like that you keep it clean

YOUR SAILING SKILL WITHOUT MOTOR AT LOW WIND PROVES HOW GOOD YOUR SAILING SKILL IS .

Epic !! Wing on wing, climb the mast, drone shot, single handed. Love it!! (please be careful) I previous sailed my Soling single handed, no motor, day sailing...only twice did I need a tow home due to wind falling off at sunset, always hit my mooring ball.

I have really been enjoying your videos! I did not take you up on your proposition bet but would have guessed about 50%.without knowing more about the circumstances. You have a knack for drawing us into your adventures and your honesty and enthusiasm comes through the videos. You answer lots of comments and take the time and trouble to take the drone footage which shows respect for your audience. It also doesn't hurt that you are kind of a charismatic dude! I'll be watching and betting on you to succeed!

So the depth of that river is pretty consistent and stays pretty deep close to the edges? Very impressed with your skill level.
@EvanFindingFreedom
@EvanFindingFreedom 2 ай бұрын
The river can get up to 80 feet deep in some spots. And shallows up to less that 4 around some of the corners. Navionics sonar charts are quite accurate in the area. But generally it's deep throughout. Oh, and thank you!! I had way to much fun sailing my way most of the way up the river haha!

the weight of your craft deserves an electric winch, so handy for anchor and emergency sail and mast/SAIL work IF YOU KNOW HOW!!
@EvanFindingFreedom
@EvanFindingFreedom Ай бұрын
I don't think so. Manual is much more reliable. And I can manage everything quite easily. I can hoist my mast without needing to use the winch at all. And my big manual windlass is great.

How do you set the anchor without engine or wind? Just hoping it will hold? Or do you dive on it? Upriver sailing isn’t done much anymore. People just don’t have the patience for it. You did get a decent chunk of the way. Well done.
@EvanFindingFreedom
@EvanFindingFreedom 2 ай бұрын
In light winds the weight of the anchor holds the boat in place. But I make sure to pan the chain out evenly so when the wind does build it lets the anchor set itself correctly. It depends on a few factors. But I have successfully anchored my boat for 3 years now without dragging. I'll make a video on it eventually. Thanks for watching!

If i were enginless on my tayana i would have a outboard brackett on the stern. Side tied you got minimal power thrust. But stern mounted it would push you into 20. knots. Unless you hobby horse and you will in open ocean up wind
@EvanFindingFreedom
@EvanFindingFreedom 2 ай бұрын
I would need to have it side mounted because of my Hydrovane.. plus it would be super ugly adding a bracket. If I wanted to have access to my motor all the time I'd just put a proper inboard back in the boat.

I’ve heard Guatemala is a preferred spot for refit work. Do you know why?
@EvanFindingFreedom
@EvanFindingFreedom 2 ай бұрын
It's mostly to do with the haul out and storage costs being cheap. And the labor rate is pretty low.. But all of that is slowly changing. I suspect in the next 5 years it won't really be like this anymore.
