Time and time again I have asked these guy's if they need any money and they always say no.., way back when their stove bust I offered to buy them a new one and they said no.., they had got replacement parts from a subscriber.., that speaks volumes for the people they are.., we all enjoy the content they put out and how they always go above and beyond to immerse the viewer in their journeys.., so please please if you can become a patron for as little as $3 per video.., its not alot but it goes some way to thank them for making all our lives that much more enjoyable as they drag all our ass's around the coast of Australia.

Oh to be sailing again! You have done so much great work and shared so much of it with us, thank you! Now to shake it all down. Between the newly faired bottom, the new rig work, running rigging, and new sails that aren’t blown out, she must be a dream to sail! And I am not even mentioning the great comforts of that interior! That was an impressive and very complete refit! Thanks for sharing your journey, please keep it coming. Fair winds and following seas!

I really appreciate the depth you go to when talking about this stuff. It's amazing how many videos there are on youtube meant to teach this stuff, yet lack any of the depth required to actually learn without actually having the equipment in front of you. I can't even begin to count the number of times in the last 8 months since I discovered that sailing is something I am actually interested in, that I had to pause a video to google what the person was talking about and proceed to visit 10 or 15 different results just to get an idea of something that is basically a simple concept, but because the person making the video just assumed that anyone watching it already knows what they're talking about.

This is a great little boat and Troy continues to amaze me with his skills. And it's good to see a loft in Australia that does everything in-house instead of outsourcing the work overseas (and good to see a young apprentice learning the trade). I'm in my 70's, we used to do make everything here in Australia ourselves, absolutely everything. We were totally self sufficient, nowadays those hard earned skills and hand me down knowledge is steadily slipping away from us..

Looking good you two. We find that baggy old sails cannot take as much wind as stiffer flatter new sails. The old ones act as a bit of a parachute and the new ones only direct the wind (except for downwind. We just put new sails on Windover and the difference is very apparent. Fair winds.

I think it's cool having "ropes" vs cables it seems like a throwback to the early days of sailing where they really had to use a lot more knot tying type skills. I know the new synthetic rigging is different but I think it feels a little more authentic I guess. Maybe I'm wrong but I like the route you've gone and it's not always easy to move away from the old familiar way.

Fabulous upgrade you've done. Watching them make those sail I couldn't help but think about the USS Constitution and her 42,710 square feet of sail. All sewn without benefit of modern machinery. It was originally flax but later canvas and now has modern material. But in the 18th century that had to be incredibly labor intensive.

I was told by a racer that the Dacron doesn't stretch, its all the threading that stretches. He was talking about shape, says a sail is a wing and has a special shape. Like you, I know next to nothing. But, I periodically have breakfast with a competition racer.I haven't heard much about the third reef, but I have heard of "storm sails" . The main comes down completely and your going along fairly quickly with the storm sail. Your subs up to 100k, your views on this one very good, so, looks like your a hit !

Hey, Troy and Pascal. Amazing work on your refit. Loved seeing it all. While watching this new sails episode, the KZbin algorithm directed my attention to an episode from 2018 where you answered questions--how you met, what next, etc. You said then that you planned to sail to Tasmania and then possibly get another boat! I love that you did a refit on Mirool instead of getting another boat! Is there an episode where you discuss the decision to restore rather than replace Mirool? You also mentioned in that 2018 video the idea of sailing offshore, possibly circumnavigating and not taking the trade wind route. Interested to hear more about that. Plans after Perth? (Story about meeting at Troy's sister's wedding wasn't too detailed!)

Some of the carbon fibre sails are 'spun' onto a mold and set with resins. What seems simple is bordering on space age now.
