[@johnmurphy6366]

Aubrey,keep surrounding yourself with humble,knowledgeable people,and you will succeed.thanks for bringing us along to watch the refit.

[@mdorris71]

Best video since you have been working on your own boat. Mike is a very cool guy. For someone wanting to live the dream, these informative how-to videos are more interesting than having pina coladas on a beach.

[@thomasmcluckie2014]

wow you were lucky to find this guy well done mike you are a class act dude to take the time to talk to your customer like this is really awesome the world could use more people like you

[@kennesbitt9353]

the best rigging video I have seen yet. good job.

[@davidrussell6821]

I really like how you described your position as a minimalist stance... that you don't need the latest or the best out there; you just need to make sure you're safe and want to learn from this sailing platform! Awesome

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

please send me a mail at [e-mail] so I have your email address

[@captnrickealy4029]

Thanks for a great video... very educational. Mike is a great speaker and what he showed us, is more than I ever thought about on my rigging. You did good sailor!

[@allendibble4070]

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

wow thanks so much Allen, It makes it all worth it when it comes to fruition! Thank you for following along...

[@MrDenis7p]

Very Good Video About Rigging. Seeing him doing the work in his Shop and how knowledgeable and conscientious Mr Sipala is I will certainly get him to do my Spars and Rigging when the time comes. Thank You for this informative video.

[@seailive]

this guy would be good teaching rigging to any old salt. nicely done video.

[@trespire]

This guy is a pro, pro's like him are worth their weight in gold. As the saying goes, "Do it right, do it once"

[@stevenreeves1968]

The last few minutes of Mike talking, quite honestly could be the best wrap up of sailing/cruising that could be said. Well done!

[@AustinBoil]

Very informative...I like Mike, wish there were more like him with his attitude, willingness to share, and knowledge. Great video.

[@sailorama]

Worked with a rigger who reminded me of this fellow a lot, similar advice, used the same kind of equipment. Interesting to compare and contrast riggers' methods. Our rig has been standing sturdy for about 8 months now. Looks good! Best of luck with the project.

[@aquasurfer9]

Good Job of interviewing and showing how its done.

[@BrunoFerreira-me1uc]

that's a great video, thanks a lot both for putting the time and effort to educate me. I'd loved to hear his viewpoint on synthetic rigging but I'm still happy with what I watched. Thanks!

[@onthebeaches]

Excellent video and had me captivated the entire time! If I was in his area, I would surely look Mike up. You can tell he has passion for what he does! Thanks for sharing so much with us. I have a three year plan to become a cruiser so this is vital information. I only wish I could pay you for it! THANK YOU!!! Stay on the good path and keep us informed. PEACE OUT!

[@bronco351mal]

Fantastic informative video!! I'm going to watch it over again to learn more about rigging so when hopefully I become a live aboard I'll better understand all this stuff!! Again thanks!!

[@Deceptor]

Thanks Mike that was interesting! I love listening to people who know what they're doing :)

[@discodaze9972]

Great content. This was one of your best videos. I like the tech stuff. Happy Sailing. MLS III will be a great boat for you. Be safe.

[@UweBehrendt]

[@jakekish2821]

Probably one of the best videos i've seen. Thanks

[@karenwilliams2193]

I loved the start of the video, so clean, crisp and beautiful. You have an amazing eye for filming and photography. It will be so exciting to see your Boat put into the water, I can't wait!! 🤗 Tell your precious girl I said hello, and Hugs to you both! 🐕🦄🐒🐎🐳🐍🐠🐿🐛🐞🌲🐙🌷🌻🍉🍕🍍🍦🍭🍰🎶😍🌎🏝🎠🎪⛵🌞

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

Thanks Robert!

[@huds5005]

Just subscribed today. Watched a a couple videos and so far I am really digging them. This video is one of the better sailing videos I have seen anywhere, really informative and well done. I am a few years away from starting my own journey of sail, so thanks for keeping my dream alive by sharing yours..

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

You are so welcome. It means the WORLD to me that I can inspire others even if it is in the smallest way. xx

[@prof.m.ottozeeejcdecs9998]

Nice going, and very interesting to see progress in small steps. Easy to follow and learn. Looking forward to more. Mike is a very competent and experienced rigger. Nice video work.

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

Thanks so much!

[@VegetarianFeast]

Love that he was so sharing. Awesome. Great attitude also.

[@irateyourvideo2]

nice to see your boat coming back to life

[@patriotpioneer]

Good Video! A lot of Very Good Information especially for people who know very little on the subject. Thanks!

[@user-earthandfire]

thanks for the very informative video. looking forwards to more videos and your adventure ahead. very inspiring

[@ShaschaZolochevskaya]

Hi Aubrey! Great editing! The technical part filmed and mounted perfectly! 11:40 started cheerful music, I like it!

[@davedennis6042]

He is a very good rigger. You should always find a person who has the heart of a teacher. He really does well to take time to teach.

[@billturner2360]

Very interesting....... the best in Rigging I've seen ! Thank you.... Thank you again !

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

Bill Turner I'm Glad you liked it! Stay tuned for more

[@simonseldom]

Really informative video. Thanks for sharing. Definitely gonna use the magnet tip

[@richardmyhan8755]

The teaching & sharing you do makes you unique! You will see a growing mass of followers due 2 your down to earth logic! Continue to be the gem U R! Yes I just gave you (5) Stars Girl 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Keep up the good work, please & thank you. P. S. I am historically stingy with them stars 😁

[@CesarGonzalez-kt7vp]

The key word here is Respect. You're doing it right!

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

Thanks Cesar!

[@bobmerdock1302]

Well, now I know who to contact for my rigging... Thanks for the detailed film. Very professionally done!

[@Howt-ooo]

I'm a welder. That weld on the plate has had poor gas coverage. It needs to be back purged. "Welding tips and tricks" is god on KZbin if anyone wants to know more. Thank you for this rigging video. Amazing work 😁

[@jessicakirchoff2536]

Excellent content. (I have been waiting to see something like this from you.) Thank you for showing us the magic of standing rigging/swaging and what to look for when nearing failure. I also loved your opening photography. Your editing is very good and you have a very good eye for composition. I also enjoyed your use of typography! Cheers!

[@kevinmccarthy4816]

Your best video to date. Please keep up the good work.

[@spinnaker5514]

Thank you so much! After seeing this video I immediately went outside with a magnet.....ought oh! Guess I need some new standing rigging! I thought my standing rigging looked pretty good, I found none of the usual signs of fatigue, but the magnet didn't lie. Thanks, I really learned something important thanks to you. Being that I am planning on sailing mostly solo, you just might have saved my life. Thank You! and thank you to Mike! Bill S. s/v ODIN

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

very happy that you found it informative. really worked hard on producing this one for you guys

[@daltoncox4716]

Great video! Love the new format.

[@SpiNNeRNZ]

Great Video - I"m loving watching the weekly progress - keep up the great work

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

thanks for following along!

[@HouseMadeUS]

Learned a lot from this! Keep on moving and learning and being awesome. Thank you!

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

:)) thank you for watching!!!!

[@znon5876]

Such an interesting video, thanks for taking the time to make it. I wish the two of you would just get together and be merry already. We've all seen your previous dude and you picked a mean one. This time let us pick. I choose the rigger

[@jaytruesdale5587]

Good camera work, very interesting subject matter (at least to me). Looking forward to seeing the boat in the water.

[@terryharms235]

Wow Great Vid, lots of info and thank you so much for sharing, So glad to see you are doing this, hundreds of Thumbs Up to you, have see all your vids and thank you so much, Terry

[@psmithrpm]

Great info and original content. Thank you for sharing!

[@robertskillings864]

Awesome video..I will look this guy up when I need rigging. Worth the shipping to make sure it's done right.. Thank you

[@theodgmingo]

nice vid, thanks. makes me glad I switched to a junk rig. none of that complicated , expensive rigging for me. best wishes on your sails

[@1968lr]

Good video, very informative. A lot of knowledge there.

[@Kansas69]

Great video!! Educational..

[@mikehickman789]

Great Video, learned a lot from it. Thank you!!

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

great!

[@mikehartmann5187]

Nice opening & close. Great content. Good job.

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

thanks Mike, I'm glad you liked it

[@woolyimage]

Hopefully there was a deal done on the rigging. Mike came across very well and no doubt will get work on the strength of this video. Would I hire him to do rigging for a boat of mine? Absolutely as an ex professional mariner it's a pleasure to sea modest professionals like Mike impart a small part of their specialist knowledge on us. Perhaps Aubrey and Mike could team up and launch a rigging channel on KZbin?

[@derekgardiner8466]

The look on your face when he said bigger is not always better ! You naughty little tinker 😛

[@paxmagellanic498]

Old cables can be used as chaser wires when removing/installing electrical wiring that is installed in a complex manner. You can attach the cable to an electrical wire at one end and pull it out the other. Then tape the new wire to the cable and pull it back. Boom! Installed.

[@diesel748]

Good vid. Very informative.

[@heaven-is-real]

great vid miss lone star

[@TedMcCaleb]

Good informational Video

[@darbybyrdjr]

[@raulrosado6300]

Awesome video... Great job!

[@snakessnyman990]

good on you miss Loan Star you go girl.

[@redoak472]

I wish I could give you more than just one thumbs up for that video. You have a real talent for making videos.

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

Ken Leander Thanks Ken, I worked long and hard on this one. Glad you liked it...

[@davidneill1158]

Enjoyed your video on rigging

[@LOJOMarine]

Another great video Loved that guy's shop missed seeing you throughout the video but next time

[@generossano2800]

Good decision and choice Aubrey. Mike sure has been around the water, boats, and rigging for a very long time, He breathes knowledge, confidence and fairness. You sure are making a lot of good moves. You exude a healthy, positive, warm, and friendly attitude. You have to besuccessful. Move on from the nasty lady in the marina. You are bigger and better than she is.

[@CaptainJohnmaddux]

Wow! The best youtube sailing video ever! Thank you for teaching us! I would love for you to have him do a monthly lesson ??and I love your face! John the Limo Driver in Kansas City

[@Threms1975]

That Mike is cool and werry prof. Like that type of sailers. Daniel from Denmark.

[@clydecessna737]

Good photography and editing.

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

Thanks so much, this was a tough one, worked hard but I think it came out ok... thanks for your comment and support! - Aubs

[@nelsonfarya]

great content!

[@sirronnijames2997]

great!! only one thing left to know: what are these dozens of red caps good for, hanging above his work-bench?

[@SVInLikeFlynn]

sir ronni james Mount Gay Rum Race hats. I think they have to be earned for racing and not given away or sold.

[@mikesipala1287]

Correct

[@thecinimod]

What is the dinghy on the trailer in front of the shop at 1:48? Wayfarer? Thank you for making this video

[@donb4386]

Awesome episode. I feel a little bit more edumacated now.

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

Don B. Hehehe... glad you liked it!

[@minermarcus]

Good video, I hope he helps you learn how to tune the rig after stepping.

[@markgotham5372]

Nice Vid.......

[@scenefromabove]

Hi Aubrey I am really enjoying your vids, and I am sure that many others appreciate your changing emphasis towards becoming a serious yachtswoman. Your beauty is just the same, and one could almost say that wearing workclothes can be sexier! But that is not why I am writing... Presently, I am stuck in a hospital bed, after having nine vertabrae fused. Hopefully I will be able to resume the vertical position (without impersonating the hunch back of Notre dame) by about mid September.. they reckon I should achieve an almost complete recovery, except for the 24in scar down my spine (titanium bolts, rods and goodness knows what else will hide under the surface). Each time they move me from my home in Forster, I get a 300km ride in an air ambulance. (Thank goodness for Australia's health system) My real p oint though, Aubrey, is that following progress on your boat refit (as well as over 50 other channels) is entertaining me so much that my temporary medical issues seem to disappear into the background. I have a Hobie Tandem Island (fully set up for offshore use) sitting in the garage at home, ready to get this 71 year old back into the water (can't wait) So keep those vids coming, as I for one love 'em to bits! Tony Stott

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

wow this is such a great message thank you so much! I would like to send you an email. Please send me one at [e-mail]

[@conniefontenot2793]

Where are all the comments from the people who said not to fix this boat up ? Cal is a classic and is fun to race or cruise. So let the gullible go buy hunters , bent in toos, Catalina, etc .

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

Connie please send me an email at [e-mail] want to ask you a question

[@sailinginstructor]

I agree!!

[@BrandonBolic]

Jensen ran a great production facility. These boats are known to be very well built. Not to mention the fact that the Cal 40 Has won more Transpac races than any other production boat model. The design Lapworth came up with and it's subsequent Transpac wins proved fin keeled boats are capable blue water sailors. People said the keel would fall off. They said it would sink. They were wrong. This boat will also SMOKE a Catalina 30, Especially downwind.

[@roniget]

The boat is great. She has done a wonderful job. But no matter what real boat lovers wont criticize brands. No different than car people. We love em all! I for one am looking to buy a 49 foot Beneteau Oceanic. But my wife wants size for guests and family. I do not feel gullible.

[@conniefontenot2793]

roniget Do yourself a favor first. Sail a classic like an Alberg or Rhodes hull then go sail a bent in too...u can thank me later

[@christinec1928]

Another great video ... educational to boot. It's a little crazy that you have to spend so much time justifying everything you're doing with the boat. Can you imagine if your average car driver had to justify how well they maintained their car, their choice of safety equipment or even how much they improve their driving skills on a regular basis the way you have? There are a heck of a lot more bad drivers out there than bad sailors. Keep on keeping on!

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

Christine C thanks so much! Good observation!

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

please send me a mail at [e-mail] so I have your email address

[@danfarrell8958]

That was exciting, you need to have some fixed cameras you can turn on in the storm.

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

SO TRUE!!

[@danfarrell8958]

Sorry, that comment was for the Wynn's who sailed through their first big storm en route to Panama. It loaded your video right after theirs.

[@bigbignourdine8627]

Thank you for oveidoe capetine Nice. .

[@natemcdaniel2139]

I doubted the wisdom of fixing this boat, but when I heard its A "free" boat, I figured it was at least a learning experience. Old Cals are not the worst boat out there, especially as a costal cruiser. It is not in the same category as a Rawson 30 or a Bristol or an Albin Vega, all of which are smaller sailboats that have proven offshore capacity. The reality is, its a lot more than the boat, its the person sailing it. Are they blue water capable? I think our hostess with the mostess has a ling ways to go to get to that point. For most people, they could be given a Hans Christian 38 and their lives would still be at risk out of sight of land.

[@mikes2294]

Great Vid, Where is Mike located?

[@SVInLikeFlynn]

Mike Scala Eastern shore of Maryland near Chestertown.

[@tchiwam]

I so wish I could show you pictures from the old standing rigging. I have see the long crack on the ends. And where I am, it will be very hard to get those made.

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

EEK!

[@tchiwam]

Here's a hint : photos.app.goo.gl/DULvcXvReUUVbQq92

[@HughMadBro]

Thought this video was gonna be you getting babygirl :( I wanna know that story, I'm thinking of going to Vimeo but them cut clips aren't enough to convince me $10+ a month is worth a few videos that's a Netflix account with tons of episodes !

[@sanderhenriksen4725]

how many feet is this boat?

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

It’s a Cal 2-29 so 29 feet but she lives inside like a 40’😍

[@lasersailing5890]

Love the video's☺.

[@Mike-bb1li]

Safety First !

[@larrywills5690]

Hi there, Do you make rigging for others? I need to have all new rigging made and wondered if this is something you might do? Please let me know. I can send you my existing rigging if you are interested.

[@scottroberts5511]

So, Basically... if you examine the same piece of equipment from time to time and it always looks the same and then one day something is different... might be time to have a professional take a look at it?

[@CoolAirVw]

you dont tell those experts how to do their job? Unless its your auto mechanic.

[@Michael_MJ]

I do hope he has an apprentice so the skills are passed on.

[@dritslem4711]

You should master your audio before uploading. Other than that, great video!

[@titustiger27]

1) www.sipalaspars.com/ give credit where credit is due 2) I like watching people learn video -- clearly from your photo experience you have had a jump start 3) this guy is good.. he is making your video, but better than most could do

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

Hi Titus, Thanks for commenting and following the Journey. I show Mike's business logo in the start of the video and also Mike gives all the information about Sipala Spars at the end of the film. Go check it out! Regards,

[@sailinginstructor]

Titus Tiger i got all his info from the vid and contacted him! Wait till the end

[@titustiger27]

umm... not sure why suggesting a link is such a horrible thing....but I guess if you think working for it is okay okay

[@NicholleLaVann]

This was an informative video as a woman sailor I needed to see this. Thanks for the education. Love for you to follow me at "Sailing Yemaya" learning my boat like you gurl...xoxo

[@lojwa.animals.runitrats]

very good info ,,the only thing i see wrong is the total disrespect for the American flag just tossed on the shelf ,,,,

[@mikesipala1287]

BJ...I understand your comment, but those are retired flags that get properly disposed on Flag Day, as all retired flags should. We fly a flag on a mast in the yard, and one on the wall in the shop. They have never touched the ground. Hope this helps you to see know wrong.

[@lojwa.animals.runitrats]

we dispose of flags an they are not left out ,they are fold up an put in a box ,,,then treated with respect ,,,DAV ,VFW ,AML,,,, but then maybe im the only one that noticed ,,,but you do do a good job
