Sailing with Rolly Tasker Sails!

[@crazifyit]

I love the way you narrate your videos. You will say "plates were fastened" instead of "I fastened the plates". It is almost like you humble yourself as you talk about all of the fantastic things you do. As a faithful watcher of your channel, I'm a woman who loves a man who can be humble all while showing how badass he actually is! I love your channel! Excellent skill and engineering. I can't wait for the day that you can do this full time and we can just watch all of your adventures and wish we were there! Great job on this sail & the additions!

[@Gah0uf]

The NBJS logo is majestic on that gennaker.

[@martialme84]

Thanks, Rolly Tasker, for supporting our favorite sailing channel!

[@cfossto]

"Good breeze. 25 knots.". This is why I love this channel.

[@sheilamorrison1954]

So true. 'A light wind. Hurricane force 10'

[@AndrewDBrown2020]

Fantastic video - one of those rare videos where you feel happy for both the content provider, equipment sponsors and viewers - it's a win win. Good luck to all of you.

[@patricklaine6958]

Terrific additions to the boat Eric. The best thing (by far) I ever did to my boat was to add the inner forestay. This has removed 90% of the stress / fatigue of sailing in challenging wind conditions for me, and I'm 100% confident you will love it. I have the same Selden bow sprit too. The gennaker takes a bit of getting used to because things can get out of control quickly if one is not careful, but I'm sure you will quickly grow to love it as much as I do too. Hope Covid will allow you to have a great adventure this Summer!

[@pcb1962]

Looking forward to some new adventures from you too Patrick, hope you have some exciting plans

[@remzidalay7430]

We missed you Mr.Laine.

[@phdconstructioncork]

Two great channels Patrick. Yours and Erics. Sean

[@airgead5391]

Agreed, you only know what you missed once you have an inner fore stay. I have a removable one. From a tad anxious sailing to being complete at comfort at higher wind forces.

[@MiQBohlin]

This makes me think! 😉

[@billhorrigan4388]

Nobody makes me want to buy a sailboat more than you and your videos.

[@HeadwatersKayak]

That rigging looked incredible. Great work on everything.

[@gedofgont1006]

It's impossible not to love Erik. He's such a humble, personable guy. The health difficulties he's had to overcome, in order to pursue his passion, make his already stunning videos that much more remarkable. He's truly an inspiration. Happy sailing, Erik!

[@humannaturedictatesthedownfall]

As a deck officer crossing the ocean over and over again, I can say that you're more of a sailor than me. Salute brother.

[@jjargon1456]

Thanks to those companies for helping, we all will benefit!

[@smulismuli7976]

Erik’s smile and grin in the end tell everything...so genuine...like a kid in the candy shop

[@EvilUnderTone]

They couldn't have chosen a better spokesman in my humble. Congratulations

[@davidncw4613]

Glorious! complicated but absolutely glorious. Tessie is the soul of a Valkyrie

[@MaxTennant]

Good on see these sponsors recognise the need to support this channel. By far the most engaging sailing channel on YT.

[@skookumjack]

Fantastic Erik! What a way you've come in a few short years with this channel, you must be very proud and so you should ! I've said it before but you have one of the best sailing channels on KZbin..... no Bull Shit!

[@sailingmoonshadow3169]

"one of the best"??? surely THE best! Only because it's Just Sailing and No Bullshit ;-)

[@skookumjack]

@@sailingmoonshadow3169 I like to spread the "love" around sailor. Erik has cornered the 'holy shit' sailing market that's for sure! Of course, Patrick, Mads, Alfy, Barry, Troy & Pascale, Kevin and others all bring something special to our eyes and imagination. We sailing types are very blessed ......

[@matthewferguson3206]

Dam right there Jack....im hanging for Eriks next one👍

[@nezzuno1]

Congratulations on the new job! Hopefully this channel grows to the point where KZbin becomes your one and only job.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Great video, incredible footage!!

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

We had a 135% genoa on adrenaline and really wish we had a smaller jib for work to windward in windier conditions.

No bullshit but doing a Genoa peeling or so is so taugh 🤣🤣🤣

[@johnwalker6711]

Looking good Eric

[@escapeman9016]

Delighted to see that Tasker is still in the Sails business. We had his sails on my wee Pelican dinghy in Perth, in the mid '60s. Happy days!

[@lydiaajohnson]

Nice gifts from Rolly Tasker and Selden. Couldn’t go to a more worthy and humble sailor.

[@Kamabushi999]

Erik I am 64 years old and before I pass on to the big sleep I would like to visit Norway and cruise up north along the coast and crevices of Norway. You live in the most beautiful country I have ever seen thru your eyes and now thru other You Tube videos. The harsh winters make the summer more precious each year as spring arrives. Truly an awsone geography.if I had a Surius 40ds I would sail to norway and see all the places you have shown me with my own eyes. You have been blessed to live there only 5 miilion people and I wish I was one of them. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@brianlintonjones]

Those new sails look very nice, well done Rolly Tasker for helping Erik out..cheers

[@Coach_Vedo]

The biggest badass among sailors IS BACK!!! Daaaaamn,my man! You catch me little off guard with this video,but when i saw notification from you,i leaved everything and started to watch! Greetings from Adriatic sea from Croatia! Beautiful NBJS sail!

[@jessicaarverne1181]

I know nothing about sailing but I appreciate a lot your videos. I learn so much with you. Thank you.

[@troelsmogensen7259]

Your Contessa 35 must be the most tricked out boat of the kind now, with all these cool upgrades.

[@1sheinz]

THANK YOU Rolly Tasker , you could not have picked a better ambassador for your brand. Above the respect for sailing single handed in weather like that is that you ACTUALL FLEW YOUR DRONE in that kind of wind and all by yourself . AMAZING CHEERS AND FAIR WINDS Steve h.

[@marcderveeuw]

Congratulations! It must be so rewarding when they contacted you. It is a confirmation of the unique quality of your videos and a recognition of your channel in the international sailing community.

[@gregmach8230]

The way your capture these moments, its art. Very well done.

[@bloodyeyeful]

No bullshit, just the best sailor on the tube. TY Eric.

[@suzettecalleja3122]

It is BEAUTIFUL to behold. Thank You.

[@trevorbyron9448]

Beautiful sailing. Lovely narration...Erik Aandreaa...no 1

[@pjhenders]

You have the best equipped offshore sailboat ever. Nicely done. Great video showing the steps to get there. Welcome back!

[@Sturmmie]

Erik, congratulations! The level of knowledge you pass on with your videos is ridiculously huge. Because of your attention to detail, it provides an invaluable stream of knowledge for everyone watching. I got my first coastal sailing license two years ago and I'm trying to learn more and more every day and continue improving. Your videos really do help a lot, can't thank you enough. We can really live your experiences by watching you and learn from it. All my respect and fair winds! Keep it up!

[@harbourdogNL]

8:17 "A good breeze...25 knots!" HA! Ya gotta love this guy! 'No Bullshit Just Sailing' is spot on.

[@manning643]

Absolutely the best sailing videos on KZbin. I know exactly what its like to change jobs in the maritime industry. I served 20 years in the US Navy Submarines retiring a very senior enlisted man. My first job after the Navy was a deck hand on a ocean tugboat with a barge. It was hard to start all over from the bottom. I am very impressed that you showed us the real life challenge of a career in the industry. You are one of a rare few of us that understands that a captains are not made in the wheelhouse. Great Job Erik!!

[@MrMichaelcurran]

Your a great sailor and making the changes you did now a cutter sailor you'll enjoy down wind, beam reaching with a little more stability. Damn, your the man, there is no doubt.

[@woodman1133]

No Bullshit just sailing! That's why I love your channel! and from a guy who has worked in television production for 40 years - you are amazing at all aspects of the craft! Respect Erik!

[@francesco4684]

greetings from Italy, I love Scandinavian countries. your videos are beautiful.

[@flyifri]

With so many people to thank all in one video, the best I can say is thumbs up to each of you for caring and sharing in so many ways. Well done everyone, you sure got my attention moving forward ...! ( Rolly Tasker )

Another great video! Thanks to Rolly Tasker, Gran Seil and Seldon for making your upgrades on Tessie and future adventures, even closer to reality Erik! Happy sailing and safe travels!! 😎👍

[@raytheron]

Great new additions to your sails, and a super video to showcase them, Erik! Looking forward to seeing more videos with Tessie roaring downwind.

[@BeauandPetey]

Absolutely fantastic! Your new gennaker is beautiful!! It suits you perfectly. Nice job Rolly Tasker Sails! Very classy! We really enjoyed this video Erik. Congratulations! You deserve it. 💕

[@chrisyoung9194]

The new sails are a treat...love your solution for the inner stay and that the sail can be reefed. The light head sail is fantastic, the set up is great and the boat looks fantastic under sail. Well done!

[@oldskull70]

Amazing video !!!!! That Black Sail looks beautiful and made Tessie sails perfectly downwind !!!!! Great video !!! Loved those Metal work , welding and installation partas ! Great Job Erik ! You deserve some beers ! Cheers !!!!!

[@CrazyWhiteBoyRSA]

my Hero! From South Africa 🇿🇦

[@sailingvelarion]

Great Video! Nicely looking new sails. One thing that I was wondering, I would replace that massive carabiner at the sheets of the storm jib by a soft schackle. This thing can knock you out..

[@M3rVsT4H]

Wow, she's a fine sight underway with the new gennaker.

[@billleskeep2033]

Tremendous editing and very clear step by step descriptions of all the capabilities and performance of each component. Thanks Erik!!

[@frankzed7684]

Nothing better than seeing a new video from Erik! Excellent work!

[@rayd488]

Great to see you back Erik. That big Roly Tasker gennaker is awesome !!

[@geoffpm]

WE all can’t wait to see the next adventure !!!

[@1springcottage]

New rig looks really sweet. A great recommendation for a Cutter rig. The black Gennaker will mean we all see you coming.. Have fun this summer.

[@Schtekberg]

That's some serious new equipment. Looking forward to seeing you push it to the limit!

[@7times7seas]

Awesome You, Erik! Enjoy the ride. Fair Winds as always.

[@inixio11]

Erik, Missed you man. Incredible how the boat looks with the new sails, specially with the new gennaker. Your smile says it all about how it feels to sail it. Cannot wait to see more videos. Congrats.

[@parsonstj]

The last few minutes of this are the only languid, relaxed sailing I've seen on your channel. Hope you have plenty of opportunity for the gennaker in the future.

[@klemenprezelj]

Roli tasker are great. Fair amount of work with the prep work,but so beautifull to see that sail in action. 👍

[@ferdinandvroom]

Great video Erik! Thanks. I would be carefull with those big Carabine hooks. They will slam viciously when you are working on the cutter Jib on the foredeck in high winds and seas...

[@mhensen1]

Thanks for mentioning that, I understand the ease at the tack, but at the clew why not two bowlines like every other jib? Love the way you have it anchored to save any strain on the foredeck. Are you worried the chain will tangle in the locker with that support rigged? Oh and btw about that gennaker... Goddamn that’s a beauty sail!!

[@greggron]

Better still consider a dyneema soft shackle?

[@msmith2961]

Those drone shots of the gennaker look so good they're almost CGI! Looking forward to joining the next adventure!

[@Aeradill]

Looks great Erik! Greatly improved your windrange thanks to Rolly Tasker. Fair winds

Great to see you back sailing Erik - we have missed you!!

Another Terrific Video Erik......Thank You Very Much!!!

[@grb4944]

Glad to watch another video and to see how much progress you have attained since your homecoming. Sail on!

[@steveburton5825]

Erik, when drilling through your core and the stringers, you should drill oversize, fill the entire hole with thickened epoxy and then redrill your hole the proper size. This will prevent any water from getting into the wood core. Trust me, you'll thank me in 5 years. Good on Rolly Tasker for recognizing that you will be a very good reference for their sails. They did the same thing with Sailing Florence and I will seriously give them my full attention when upgrading my sail suite.

[@curthook9622]

Your videos are unmatched by anyone

[@edwardfinn4141]

Another great video from Erik “Frigging Superman “ Aanderaa You will love your inner forestay and staysail. It’s great !

Erik, it is so cool to see you again. I am so happy for you that you have now a very good set of sails for your next adventures. Especially a heavy weather jib sail because you missed it.You deserve it so much. Congrats for the very smarts improvements you made on your nice boat. Enjoy your new toys buddy !!

[@ericboye1909]

Hi Eric . Great to see you again. Thank you to give me the vocation of sailing !!!! I am starting sailing lessons. I am selling a small apartment to get a sailboat. I hope next summer to be able to cross an expedition. Thank you Eric. Sometimes internet can be good.

[@robertlaird6746]

Thank you for doing such a fantastic job on going through all of the steps to install all of this new equipment. I learned a lot.

[@thorstenkalscheuer8192]

Fantastic Erik, we’re ready to follow your next adventure!

[@timohan100]

Love the new working jib. My old boat did not have roller furling so taking down my headsails was a bit of a challenge. I ended up making my own downhaul for the jib with a long length of small diameter braided line. I tied one end of the line to the head of the sail and ran the rest down through the center of each piston hank. The hanks will hold the line more or less parallel to the stay when hoisted. At the tack I used a turning block to run the line to a cleat near the mast. When I went to take down the sail I would ease the halyard and pull on the braided line. This would pull the head of the sail right down to the deck and into a nice, manageable bundle. I think this would work for your boat as well. Glad to see you back on the water. Cheers!

[@priscillasantos5501]

What a gourgeous gennaker! We are fans from Brazil! Your vídeos are inspiring!🤩
