[@tw1972]

Andy is really enjoying life. Good sailing great weather what more could you want oh and great friend's.

[@sailingsole]

Yeah Tony, thank you. You nailed it. I’m “Stoked” to have become friends with Mark, he motivates me to get out more often and he’s a cool dude. Cheers till the next one!

[@garyseven777]

Fun video in all the areas I grew up in! Thanks

[@sailingsole]

Right on Gary. I’m having a blast lately. See you in the next adventure! Cheers!

Good sail Andy, nice flotilla in Newport. How great they have a nice anchorage for visitors. Looks like a boat show happening. Its been about 24 years since I've been to Newport, wow has it changed. Thanks for taking us on another voyage.

[@sailingsole]

You bet Bob. Thanks for coming along! They have two anchorages in Newport Harbor; Lido Isle and the Turning Basin. 🤙🏼

[@miracleofsailing]

We call those cords "Widow Makers". Looked like a nice sail!

[@sailingsole]

Many things are called widow makers. I call it a “death plug” and that’s what it’s called on this here channel 🤙🏼😂

[@sailingsole]

You know I’m messin around…cheers bro!

[@miracleofsailing]

@@sailingsole For sure. It made me chuckle.

[@maritimetees2315]

Good job on solar installation. Any time you can preserve some rail is a good thing.

[@sailingsole]

Thanks. We should be able to have both right? Panels and railing 😂

[@maritimetees2315]

@@sailingsole for sure..

[@NONAMESLEFTNONE]

Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Watching someone learn sailing (gaining experience, I should say) makes it feel more attainable. And remember if you need parts I may be able to hook you up. Also I tuned into keeldraggers channel and have now sub'd.

[@sailingsole]

Right on man. Thanks for the kind words, it makes it all worth it. Hmu on Instagram to talk about “parts”. Cheers! 🤙🏼

[@waltobringer2928]

Thanks again!

[@sailingsole]

🤙🏼

[@johnbrightman282]

theres a way of roping each tack of fenders so you can deploy and recover fenders from cockpit

[@sailingsole]

Ok

[@RickGarzaGuitar]

Looks like a fun sail.

[@sailingsole]

Yeah boy! 🤣 🤙🏼

[@johnbrightman282]

set a kill switch to engine from helm post handy better than opening hatch ,fit noise dampers inside engine bay.

[@sailingsole]

Good suggestions 👍🏼

[@keeldragger]

I was looking for the F-bomb counter!

[@sailingsole]

Not enough bombs. Next time we’ll have to drop a lot more.

[@keeldragger]

Capt Curse accepts the challenge.

[@benkanobe7500]

Who was the mirror idea from? That is a great addition!

[@sailingsole]

I got that idea from Sam Holmes. @samholmessailing

[@benkanobe7500]

@@sailingsole Thank you. I will give Sam a look!

[@johnbrightman282]

i set my yacht mainsail halyard lift to cockpit so i could raise and lower from cockpit /into lazy jacks,

[@sailingsole]

I’ll get there

[@MrEragon21]

How much solar do you have i realy like thay railmount idea. I have a catalina 30 MK1 as well

[@sailingsole]

100 watt Renogy solar panel on each side. You can find these brackets on Amazon and you need to fabricate your extension supports. 🤙🏼

[@benkanobe7500]

Great sailing! Could you list the make, length, and year of your boat in the "Show More"? I like what you did with your Panel mounting. I'm going to remember that.

[@sailingsole]

Ya man, no problem but it’s a 1978 Catalina 30 hull #1232

[@benkanobe7500]

@@sailingsole Sorry so many dumb questions as I am sure somewhere in all your other YT you said what it was. I have been watching (binge-watching) a ton of 40LOA and under down to 27LOA sloops in that potential $6K and under (going to the auction you showed us viewers) range. Watching both purchasing and sailing KZbins so I am getting some of the boats/KZbin provides mixed up. I guessed yours was a Catalina 27 so good to know a 27 will not be as nice as yours inside as I think yours is perfect for what I want to do.

[@RobertMock-i3v]

Badass

[@sailingsole]

Thanks man! 🤙🏼

[@eyefly82russellm80]

Nice video. The time laps was a bit hectic 😅

[@sailingsole]

Ya that’s why I said it was a terrible idea 😂

[@eyefly82russellm80]

@@sailingsole i think it's good just to fast .

[@sailingsole]

@@eyefly82russellm80 I think a stationary time lapse is a million times better. Its too shaky mounted on your head like I did.

[@eyefly82russellm80]

@@sailingsole it's not bad if you slow them down . Ive made them from drones and chest mount angles. I believe its 1/4 speed .

[@SmartLearningAI]

Any regrests on the 30? I want one, but wonder if 34 might be better for two? What do you think of her so far?

[@ConquerCollin]

In terms of space, the 30 is enough for 2 and you get a lot of practical advantages with a smaller boat...but if you have the cash then 34 is going to be a palace

[@sailingsole]

I’d agree with Collin. I love my C30, it’s great for what I do. It’s certainly big enough for two and a very capable little cruiser but the C34 is quite an upgrade imo. I love the C34’s. Do I have any regrets? No but I feel like I will want something a little bigger in the future but if I keep Stoked forever then I’ll still be happy.

[@RobertMock-i3v]

For the price he got her for, she's a gem

[@roslihat8668]

Hello friend

[@sailingsole]

Hi 👋🏼 😁

[@k5kensails]

Death cord and solar panel rail off sets. Great ideas. Just sent you a pm on insta gram. And never give Mark your true speed. He is a crafty dude!

[@sailingsole]

Thanks Ken. You’re right, I need to be more stealthy 😂

[@keeldragger]

For the record, I was not racing!

[@k5kensails]

@@keeldragger hahaha! Of course you weren’t. You guy crack me up.

[@sailingsole]

@@keeldragger 😂 I know, or you would’ve beat me there.

[@keeldragger]

@@sailingsole No question of that, but I'm smart enough not to compete with you during Captains' Hour(s).
