How can Winter Sailing on a Trimaran be this Perfect?

[@zekomaybe4564]

Been watching for years. 70 yrs old and you two help me remember those more youthful, energy filled days of excitement and wide eyed passion . Thanks for helping those of us who may have slowed down over the years remember and relive our youthful adventures through your wonderful videos. Great job guys.

[@FrankDBoyce]

Zeko, happy new year!

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Yeah , I'm 67 , totally agree with you

[@dreoneful]

you are 70 years young go out and do it againg keep those memories going go racing or hunting sky diving my father had me at the age of 60 and and had my brother at 65 he always told life is not over until is over

[@zekomaybe4564]

@@dreoneful I haven’t stopped, just slowed down. Just got back from visiting ULURU in Australia. Was headed to New Zealand but COVID made us turn around and come back to the STATES. And that’s with bilateral hip replacements and aortic valve replacement surgery. So maybe slower but definitely not stopped. Next stop is ZION NATIONAL PARK. After that on to South Water Caye off the coast of Belize to snorkel the largest reef in the world except for Great Barrier Reef off Australia which we snorkeled recently from Lizard Island. But thanks for your concern. Peace.

[@kevinhornbuckle]

Nice to meet your family, Billy. I am sure your dad is very proud of you. You are of good character.

[@jackfntwist]

I love how Billy says "please" when asking everyone to shift sides. So polite. Keeper. :) Your summers lifeguarding on Fire Island beaches must have been hilarious. Must have some good stories.

[@joevitag5411]

There is only one major thing wrong with this video is that it had to end great job! Thank you

[@emhaley]

Great vid. Extra effort on the edits, slo-mo, music. Very touching. One of your best.

[@daveamies5031]

So glad to see you having fun on the tri, would have been interesting to hear your dad's comments on sailing.

[@vank3780]

This was a very well done video. Your editing skills are top notch. I'm very excited for the arrival of your new CAT.

[@maureendallas1536]

Thanks for this video-grew up in a beach town in South Jersey and always loved to be at the beach late in the season. We were in the beach block and it was our playground. I miss it and hope to have it back in retirement.

Five-teen thumbs up Sierra, Jetts & Billy!

Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice of you to “take me along” to meet your family, and friends as well as take me out on the trimaran.

[@dright1817]

Pretty cool family and the coolest one of all is the old man. See what you helped create pop's

[@carlisle]

So fun! Nice to meet your family again Billy - they are all so great. Hope you had a fun Christmas.

[@thomaswilson4830]

Really cool. You give a great sense of how it is to live in this pocket rocket!

[@jakeoddmonic2956]

Use injector cleaner every tank it will help with the starting

[@kevinhornbuckle]

How would that affect an electrical connection issue?

[@jakeoddmonic2956]

If it electrical then thers a started rebuild kit u can buy to fix , but most common is long starting after warmed up due to dirty injectors

[@6gorks]

Thinking how nice it is that you have a recording of this special time of New experiences shared with family.

[@carleenh4946]

Ah the old “Ama in the air” trick in a narrow stretch. Love it! Our F31 is 22’ wide too. Pretty fun to squeeze through skinny places! Happy New Year! Carleen and Jim in 🇨🇦

[@fxpthl]

Wow kids, what a rig you've got there with a 63ft. length! Those ferry charges must have been Huge! So nice that you were able to get by and see your family this time of the year, plus go sailing with them. A true high point in this trip so far. Loved that your Dad was there with you too. You must cherish every moment with your parents because before you know it they are gone. Having learned to sail with my own Dad, I know how important those times were and miss him and them so very much. You are a very lucky man Billy!

[@pauleohl]

The toll is not cheap. $3 per foot Monday through Thursday or $3.70 per foot Friday through Sunday for rig and driver....plus $18 per passenger. So, $207 minimum. www.longislandferry.com/common/help.aspx?page=fares

[@markatraveler3238]

welcome to my home state Connecticut . welcome to long island sound it can get a little rough out there depending on the wind and its pretty shallow so it doesn't too much wind to kick up a swell . Great video Thank you .stay safe and healthy .

It looked like everyone had a blast. Happy New Year to you guys :)

[@blakelundstrom7230]

We took a ferry from Homer, Ak to Kodiak, Ak. It was a blast to ride

[@scottpetrone6284]

No such thing as a "minor" electrical problem. Excellent content, taking that very dozens of times years ago. Well done!

[@wavewaker2]

The best rig inside the boat 👌😀

[@felixrodriguez4626]

Also, touch the alternator when the engine is cold. If the alternator is warm to the touch, there's no doubt the the current is flowing when the engine is not running.

[@lzevon]

There is a WalMart at the rotary near the Newport bridge and another less sketchy one in North Kingstown just over the bridges. You can park RVs at WalMart apparently without issue.

[@Rev1Kev]

Boat on a boat, here in Michigan we have 2 large cross lake ferrys, one is a classic Coal fired Steamship, use to haul train cars across Lake Michigan, from Ludington MI to Manitowac WI, the SS Badger, and a newer ferry from Muskegon MI to Milwaukee WI. The Badger is my favorite, 410 foot Steam ship built in 1953,

[@felixrodriguez4626]

Hello guys, I've been following you for a couple of years, and I love your videos and adventures. If I am correct, you may have an alternator problem. What happens is that there is a diode inside the alternator that is not functioning, and therefor the current from the battery flows the wrong way when the engine is turned off, discharging the battery. The easy way to confirm this condition is to measure your battery voltage hours after the engine if turned off, and before trying to start it. If your voltage is less than 12 V. in each battery, have the alternator checked and replaced if this is in fact the problem. Hope this info is useful for you guys. Love you all three!

[@TheAtma50]

Another great video, Stay Safe Guys !!

Georgous vedio thank,s for sharing

[@harrymurphey2634]

... you should try that "sandbar" manuver w/ a 43' Trimaran !!! We have to do the same thing w/ his Trimaran to get to his dock ... sometimes we need to get off and push ...

[@michaeldemasi1665]

Been on that ferry when it's rough, pretty scary. Cars and trucks have fallen off in the past. Trust me, it was pretty mellow the day you traveled. Nice content, love the beach and water this time of year. Very relaxing. Safe travels!

[@annebrooks2140]

Welcome to Corsair trimaran sailing. My wife and I have had a Dash 750 since 2011. We sail it often from April through October. I've enjoyed your 880 videos. A larger and more complex boat than our 750. A few comments that you might already know, but just in case: 1) Get rid of the dangerous trailer winch, which can free wheel if you're not careful, and get a self locking worm drive winch instead. We turn our worm drive winch with a cordless drill and socket. Works great, much safer, and there is always the handle if you need it. 2) Each time you sail, talk with each other about the "safe out" direction to steer if you feel the boat is overpowered. While sailing upwind, turn up into the wind to de-power. While sailing abeam or downwind on a reach, turn downwind to de-power. 3) Always have the sheet of the largest sail in use in your hand, so you can quickly release it if you're hit by a gust or wind shear. Stay safe out there!

[@larryjepeal4409]

ah! so many summers on the L.I. Sound. Newport to Soundview, good people, good times

[@robertgorsett1586]

Spent the summer of 2000 taking that Ferry from New London to Orient Point visiting my girlfriend(now wife). The Sea Jet during the summer is fun as well, grab a beer and head to the deck for a 30 min ride. We took the Port Jeff to Bridgeport one time and the swells were huge. We were one of the first cars so we were on front open deck. Truck was Saltwater mess and it was a bit scary.

[@jeffsteinmetz7188]

Some diesels require you heat up the glow plugs before turning the engine. This is done by not turning the ignition all the way to engage the starter for a few minutes. The two of you are going to get fast at trailering and un-trailering that boat. It is great you don’t need a gin pole to step that mast (J24 days) because that process sucks time and sucks some of the fun out of traveling to different regattas.

[@Lifes-Adventures]

Hi guys! I had a trailerable sailboat and found it was a lot of work setting up and taking down in one day. We always scheduled our trips for two days. I tried as fast as I could and it always took an hour to setup & take down... fair winds.

[@bartwesp4303]

I remember when that ferry was first put in service for Cross Sound Ferry... Having dragged a trailer or two on those boats, the cost is brutal, but the bridge tolls are also ridiculous! when it is heavy seas, thay strap your camper to the wall so it doesn't slam...

[@Buckey1194]

Thanks for the winter sail

[@garysankey4618]

Awesome vid, that really does look like a fun boat.👍

[@billbraski9213]

Test your starter sometimes old ones get dead spots. If you have troubles starting gently tap the starter with a hammer and rock the belt. Old tricks from the 90s

[@billbraski9213]

Could also be cam or crank shaft sensors

[@ronvandermolen8676]

So... Love watching you guys.😁😁😁😁

[@marksierra667]

I cant wait for you guys get you new cat. I wanted a video for you guys the other day bad.keep up the good work

[@tim1299]

the spring in Starter solenoid is heating up, expanding (and rusty) and not releasing. when it cools down it works; Happened to me in my motor home on the Blue Ridge Parkway middle of nowhere. Replaced the starter-all was good.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

Def not the starter because the starter cranks and engages fine every single time. The starter is not too old either

[@tim1299]

@@Tulasendlesssummer Misunderstood , thought you got silence when turning the key.? fuel pressure? . Try spraying a starter fluid into air intake next time it won't start. if it does start -weak fuel pump, known to be bad right out of the box. Hope it isn't electrical.

[@m2pozad]

For folks who are used to waking-up on the water, all this set-up and tear-down must be a pain. But, looking at the alternatives, it's better than most.

[@derfwt1]

Awesome boat. Keep sailing!!!

[@56Spookdog]

I had the same type starting problem with my truck, the inconsistent starting problem drove me nuts after a process of elimination, time and replacement of parts it was a small relay hidden behind the battery.

[@steveschroeder1882]

Happy New Years 🎉

[@Bronwyn031]

First off, I've been a subscriber with the "notification bell" selected and I've not been getting your new video uploads sent to my feed. 🤷‍♀️ And second, I think all three of you are absolutely adorable!

[@daveamies5031]

I usually at least once a week go down my subscription list and see if there are any videos i've missed, if i'm subscribed to a channel then I want to see their videos, but YT only wants to feed you the stuff that makes the most ad revenue and many of my subscribed channels are under 1k subscribers so don't fit that criteria, your success rate may vary but that's my solution for now. Saying all that this channel usually pops up in my up next list, probably because it's one of the bigger channels i'm subscribed to, hope you get to watch them more often 🤞🏻

[@kitesteez]

Maybe need a new glow plug relay? Recommend white-rodgers

Nice sail good to see you on LI. How was the trip south? How long did that take? Enjoying your videos, Doug

[@bubbagail7450]

I will have to agree with ZEKO back in the day that might have been a whole lot of fun but now (also 70 years old) that looks like a whole lot of work but it's fun to watch. How is Jetty doing on this extended road trip? Take care guys.

[@edwardwerthner7717]

Great South Bay, you where a calmer?

[@sailingkoko]

Whats the plans for the future? No more live aboard sailing? Just trailer sailing from now on?

Hope you’ve been able to ferret out the electrical issues. They can wreak havoc on a truck.

Since I have been watching you guys I never thought you were from the East Coast. I always thought you both were from California. I really enjoy your videos. I look forward to your future videos on the new Cat.

[@hotrodhog2170]

Billy is a New Yorker, Sierra is from Florida. Go back to the beginning videos where Billy rebuilds Tula and sails alone from New York to Florida where he meets the lovely Miss Sierra at work.

[@nickgarcia7110]

Thank you for the information. I guess I will have to go to the beginning and check out the early videos.

[@6800891]

Surely you will be going south for warmer temps.

[@SailingAventura1]

I thought I lost you when you sold the catamaran, but thats awesome!

[@hotrodhog2170]

I don't think it has sold yet.

[@johnnylightning1491]

Hey guys, this is starting to look more like Tula's Endless Winter channel, but that's OK it's still enjoyable. I would suppose you're heading south after the holidays. stay safe and keep the good stuff coming.

[@blk90s13]

Dude! Cummins problems my truck does that some times too 🤣🤣

[@djwilliams4714]

Billy, how many times did the lower boom for the sail hit you in the head whack you in the head when it switched back and forth?? Looks like it would hurt!!

That must have been a BLAST going through a toll booth with a huge truck camper and pulling a trimaran . A true butthole pucker moment for sure I could imagine

[@bizeigel]

Yep, trailering a load like this in the Northeast sucks big. Why he took the ferry. Traffic clueless and aggressive.

[@johnh.5779]

Curious about trailering with the outriggers (if that’s what you call them). How are they fastened to the boat once they are collapsed in alongside the main hull? Great video! Not overly familiar with sailing in that area... any chance you can display a map to show where you guys are at?

[@cjpixel]

The floats are on a hinged struts, so they stay attached

will you go to the great lakes?

[@russellwood5867]

you mean"THE" fire island?

[@graeme-sailingskeptic]

Nice music selections, looks like a good time was had by all.. the 880 looks pretty easy to sail - what about single handed? Would it be doable?

[@DADGAD_Rick]

Out of curiosity, where along the Great South Bay did you embark and disembark the boat from the trailer. I assume that you trailered the boat from Orient Point, past Mattituck into Patchogue or East Islip, but I couldn't tell where the location was. Beautiful video!

[@greatestskills7447]

Pineneck in east Patchogue.

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Well, that trimaran looks like a lot of fun to be on , but a pain to set up .. But everyone enjoyed themselves so what the hell

[@edwardwerthner7717]

Do you think this boat will carry you to cruising grounds of the past as live aboard people . I so I would like buy one and travel Bahamas - South America . I’m a Greenport person n left for Parts south in 2016. Don’t mis LI anymore

[@edwardwerthner7717]

My grammar is slipping ! Too many brain distractions.

[@brassring5524]

I did the New London to Orient ferry with my Road Tractor and Boat Transporter Trailer, it was a cool ride and much faster than driving around but the getting on and getting off the ferry was kinda sketchy since my trailer was 52' long and cleared the ground by maybe 5 inches. The "no start" issue sounds like it might be a computer issue (eeeks... 0_o)

[@eppot1]

i sweden we call that game kubb..

[@Fireflyyhill]

You would think for such an expensive boat they could use a wheel instead of a manual tiller

[@SteifWood]

Ironically, here in Norway "Viking Chess" (8:50) is the kind of chess played by Magnus Carlsen (and him only, haha). What you played is called "kubb", and "kubber" are firewood pieces, while "kubbelys" are thick/short candles. It's all about form & factor .... just sayin'

[@kwarts]

You might want to check Pask Makes channel. He had a scrap wood challange were he made a viking chess boardgame, though it might be more Icelandic than Norwegian. Kind regards Christiaan.

[@SteifWood]

@@kwarts Ohhh, you ment Hnefatafl? I don't know where you get Iceland from since the game was "invented" before Iceland was even discovered. Anecdote: in modern Norwegian we use two word for hand - "hand" and "neve". I'm cannot dive into any form of linguistic analysis as I'm not qualified, but the first - hand - is similar to hand in English, and the second one - neve - is just a modern form of hnefa. Hnefa and neve are pronounced pretty much the same way, and Neil did a good attempt on this Old Norse. Maybe he IS a Viking?

[@34hatt24]

Surprised you launched at Pine Neck its such a crappy ramp would have thought Corey or something else to the west.

How many times above the standard car rate did the ferry end up costing?

It was like $250 total because they measured by the ft.
