FIRST TIME SAILING our NEW SPINNAKER in the MADEIRA ISLANDS - Ep 166

We're Canadian sailors and full time travellers who just arrived in the Madeira Islands after a 4 day offshore passage from Gibraltar where we anchor in Porto Santo Island where explore the rugged landscapes and discover breathtaking views while hiking a popular hiking spot.
We get to painting on the harbour wall, leaving a piece of us behind on the island before sailing to another island in the Portuguese archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Then while sailing to Madeira Island, we learn how to use our new Precision Sails asymmetrical spinnaker sail in light conditions and learn to deploy and takedown the spinnaker using a sock.
Once arriving in Funchal Madeira, we explore the charm of the city, the bustling market and scenic streets.

Merry Christmas 🎄 from Ontario 🇨🇦

The spinnaker will make a world of difference in the future, with low wind cruising progress. That means less engine use, less fuel used & it's cost for Jibsea. Your painted logo is... appearing in more places around our world. Smiles for Miles traveled. Have a safe & happy Holiday season- Steph & Travis.

[@daviddelrosario828]

I love you “Passing By Test”.

[@koehl405]

I hope you both have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. thanks

[@mikeschauerman3579]

Flying a chute should be a constant easy and trim of the sheet , dousing just let the sheet fly free, you’ll be much faster it getting the sock down

[@svmystichearts]

Love the colors of your new spinnaker! 💛🤍

[@zzlee14]

Look up Yachting World fore Pip Hears tutorial on how to set a spinnaker. Use your head sail to shadow the hoist of the spinnaker . Looks like fun. :)

[@SVSilverMoon]

We've enjoyed watching your videos over the past 2 years while our boat is being built. We love the way you keep it real. Happy to see youre enjoying using the spinnaker. We've noticed that you've been in the Europe for awhile. We're picking our boat up in France in May and want to sail across the atlantic in December. We'd love to know if Maderia and the Canary islands are considered Schengen or what non-EU sailors are doing. I looked into the Portugese Digital Nomad, but looks like we need an address for 1 year. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@SailingJibsea]

Hey guys! Yes Madeira and the Canaries are part of Schengen. Best thing to do is to just check out of each place while you’re in transit to save on days and to hop out into non-Schengen places like the UK or Gibraltar

[@SVSilverMoon]

Thanks so much for your rquick reply. Did you guys get a digital nomad visa or how did you work it? I know that even with checking out of every country every time we go to sea, we will still be pushing it . We have 6 months and my husband isn't excited about spending 4 months in either Gibralter or in North Africa and I think it would be pushing it to get all the way to Turkey or some other non-schedgen country.

[@MrFroglips69]

Groovy episode

[@jeffmooreD40]

That Asym has a interesting cut, pretty flat. What apparent wind does it work best! Congrats on your Asym!!!

[@sailingnoboundaries]

You’re truly old salts now flying your asymmetrical spinnaker like pros.

[@dansiwek3593]

What a damn cute couple you are, fun to watch as well, I bet it would be a hoot to hand out with ya'll. :)

[@johnross440]

What time of year is your video taking place and we really liked your wall sign, it really hits home… John and Penny, Ontario, Canada

[@SailingJibsea]

It was last month

[@rainfinger]

Sorry we missed meeting you in Porto Santo. Are you sailing to Brazil? It is easy to lay from this side of the Atlantic.

[@paulvandermotten3759]

Been a while, have you made it over safely?

[@TugaTubeOficial]

what a brave hot couple! next time you can stay in my house

[@jamesallen278]

How much is a ravel exactly?😂
