Is this our new sail? | Sailing life Seychelles
Sailing from Maldives to Seychelles was tough on the on our sailboat. This week we roll up our sleeves and dive into boat work and take a look at a replacement genoa, from one of the local charter boats, that looks like it came direct from the Black Pearl pirate ship.

That looks like a badass pirate sail. No one will mess with you

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Hope so!

[@VicuSan]

Haha it does! Great reference, the Black Pearl You should try and do another music video with the tune haha

[@thomasmiller3648]

Congrats to those who won. I’m sure they will have the time of their lives. You guys make sailing look so inviting with all of your adventures and the interesting and beautiful places you visit. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Thank you Thomas.

[@VicuSan]

Nice view at the top of Victoria Island!! Not only Declan, we also love it, so thanks for sharing it, haha. Your spirits, specially Ivan's were quite low during the hicking...and that shot of the plane taking off... I can say these firsts days without him are a bit sad. I'm sure, I hope, the wonders and great adventures that await you will lift your spirits one again! As well as Declan, (and Finn in Canada). Hope the next family reunion is a big celebration once again (as nice as Finn surprise to Rachel)!! Rob, nice job cleaning the motor. Beauty indeed the combination of nature and industrial artifacts. A metaphore of Javelot, sailing just with the wind whenever possible. Min 6.25, another awesome sunset between moments. Great, Rachel! Sad to hear people are not as friendly in South Asia... Ivan, lesson learned... don't let them put you to do laundry😂 I see you need many spare pieces, not just only food, water and gas to go sailing around the world... Congrats to Amanda and Henry for winning a trip on the Javelot!!🎉🎉 Finn, our best price is see you back om a rowing team, Go for it!! ✌️💪💪 Btw, once again, I told about your channel to another sailor anchored on the south of France (Saint Jean de Luz bay) a few days ago. I'll be off Europe, for a few days but I'll spend the last week of August there, so if I cross another ship while paddle surfing, I will pass the word again. The paradises and tips you share with us, and all the fun stuff, well deserves all the publiciy. Safe journey, fair winds to all Hamill Team!! 👌🙏 hope the new old sail does workout fine, and that you find a new one, or at least in better conditions, on Africa.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Love the metaphor!! And thanks again for spreading the word; it really helps!!!🥰

[@OnTheFlipSide]

I am speechless, I really don't know what to say. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! ❤❤

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

You are so welcome Amanda. See you soon!!

[@OnTheFlipSide]

@@TheCruisingKiwis I only wish I had a video recording when the end played, Brinley's reaction was priceless, she jumped up and down screaming like crazy, we won, we won!!

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

@@OnTheFlipSide That is wonderful. Go Brinley, we love your enthusiasm

[@sausage5849]

Congrats Amanda and Brinley. I'm sure you'll have a great time with these adorable scallywags 🙂

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

@@sausage5849 We look forward to meeting them both.

[@bernardels92]

Excellent intro! Felt so relaxed, until I saw the new sail… 😂 that was putting it mildly Rachel!

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Shheeite yeah!

[@jonnyonedart]

Contratualtions Amanda and Brinley! Ivan - re the broken window should have blamed in on Mocha 😂

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

That would have been an acceptable alibi.

[@Holdfast]

What a beautiful hike and view. I'm sure Declan is missing it somewhat while off on new adventures. Perhaps he will return with the flexible baton featured in his video to fend of intruders! The heat exchanger was interesting as we use something similar in Canada in our houses but for the opposite reason. In winter the exchanger brings in fresh cold dry air which is warmed up by the outgoing moist warm air as it passes through a large cube.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Interesting. I assume the main purpose is to dehumidify?

[@Andy-dt8jg]

Great views from that hilltop - looked like a good work out to get up. Good luck with that sail!🤞

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Thanks 👍 yeah it was rather steep at times. Good though.

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you,!

[@pumpkinsoup3064]

Good work crew. You'll certainly get a fewxlooks with that sail flying.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

It will scare of pirate attacks, they’ll think we are one of them.

[@jcbaily5559]

Good to see you all and glad to know you are well and doing ok except for all the repairs of course! Take care and stay safe!

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Lots to work on on the the bot to get her ready for her next offshore adventure.

[@bryanbadger6841]

Well done to the couple who won. Interesting about the person checking out the boat. I can't find the details, but I think Delos, may have been a similar location when it happened to them. I think.? Good news for you Finn. There are very generous people out there. Thanks again C.K's for sharing. Loving it. Take care.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Thanks Bryan. Thankfully no loss incurred.

[@jonathanscott550]

Congrats to the lucky winners on the draw sailing with the CruisingKiwis. Great video. Yeah Victoria in the Seychelles is known for crime with the boats and resorts just be aware. And not necessarily heading away from Asia is worse in crime. I think every where has issues and that being aware of who's around. I know of other channels just kept someone behind on their boat when coming ashore. What's most important nothing happened every thing is okay. That sail I wouldn't pay any thing for it. I think 1st coming of winds over 12 knots sail will rip apart. And I guess we'll not know that until you use it. Looking forward to next video cheers

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

While Nahoa were in this exact anchorage they had night visitors to the boat, whom they scared off. We have upped our security awareness since leaving Thailand.

[@OnTheFlipSide]

😲😲😲😲😲😲 OMG!! Woohooooooo!! GO Finn GO

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

@OnTheFlipSide been trying to dm you but Patreon won't let me on my phone. Could you please message us on Patreon and I might be able to reply?

Into every sail a little ?????????? . i was going somewhere with that LOL. Let us all pray that the replacement sail gets you to the Port! Good to see that Finn's request has been met :). Ivan did a great job. Ttfn

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

I don’t hold much faith in this sail. But at the moment it’s all we have.

Thanks guys!

[@freelancekate8919]

Its still so beautiful i dont think some people know about Mauritius and Seychelles. Thanks for sharing and congratulations to the winners of the competition

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

We will be covering some of the inner islands, Praslin, la Digue and Curieuse, in future episodes. We might even catch up with some giant tortoises 🐢.

[@havewheelslovesailing]

if you use that jib, you'll have to rename the boat the Black Javelot,

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Or black sail love sailing?😉

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you guys! Safe travels. ❤

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Thank you!

[@davidholland2180]

Another great video, kind of a scary looking sail but we can hope that it works out alright all the way. Congrats to the winners of the trip of a lifetime. Great fix it job to Rob. Way to go Finn.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Thanks David

[@anthonycook1406]

I get a lot out of the segments that include boat work. Thanks for putting out such good content. I'm looking forward to your Tanzania travels, as that is on our list of places to visit as well.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Thanks Anthony, we're looking forward to Tanzania too.

[@vernholmes7940]

Great episode!

[@laurapitre5797]

Best of luck getting to Tanzania!

[@bobwood2819]

Hi Mocha!

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Meow

[@d2ndborn]

In the Navy we used bug juice for the de scaling of parts. It was basically a powdered fruit drink without the sugar. Did Ivan ever fix his leaky window in his cabin.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Ivan’s leaky window is on the to do list.

[@danielwardin3609]

That sail would test my atheism to the core. Godspeed! When do you leave for Africa? And then, around the Cape or through the canal? Best regards.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

We missed our first weather window, trying to get this sail organised. We have a few more weeks in Seychelles then we’re off. 99% sure we will be rounding the cape early next year.

[@lukeduke3001]

i saw him stand on it lol and I thought don’t stand on it my father would have told me off to

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Putting it out of its misery😉

Great Segway at about 0.32

That's Rachel desperate to spend more time sitting at the computer!😉

[@stanmoulton6904]

wait, my name isn't Amanda or Brinley. anywho, congrats to the winners I hope you have a wonderful time, and survive any crazy cooking Rob does. Pet the kitty for all of that cannot.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Sorry Stan, I'm sure there will be more opportunities to come.

[@sedatedape315]

A bit dicey looking, and sounding, sail. But if it gets you across to the mainland it will do. Now it will be remembered by all those who see you flying it!

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

If is the question. Keeping lookout for other options.

[@stevenr8606]

😮 what did I miss❓️⁉️ 🤷 Ask Rob 😂😂😂😂

[@user-zd8vq6fd7w]

almost forgot to click the like button Can only apologies for such an indiscretion

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Haha love your commitment to the cause🥰

[@robmarth2226]

Your new sail should be able to chase the pirates away

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

One can only hope it will be useful for something!

[@astridrichard-cook7421]

Hi TCK crew. I wanted to ask you about sailing with your cat. Did you have to quarantine her when you went to Malaysia?

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

No problem with cats all through Asia. They need for quarantine indeed the same everywhere since then.

[@craiglandis6679]

Is Ivan going to keep the kiwi boys going since Declan has left?

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Is going to be a bit of both though Declan will probably do more than Ivan tbc

Gonna run a contest - How many Naughty Miles will the sail last.

[@daedster1]

My take - 120

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Great idea!

[@lisamcalpine7233]

How about we crowd fund for a new sail, may be with our names on it, just a thought

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Great idea though we would feel awkward asking again so soon after the sweepstake for Finn.

Rob, did you watch the video I sent you about the exhaust steam?

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Oh shizzer, no. Do you still have it handy?

Indeed. He’s lucky he’s cute or we would have abandoned him years ago😉

Barnacle buster

Yeah it's good stuff and would have been easier than pulling it all apart huh.

[@markrobinson1384]

well what i can i say about the rowing nz team olympic 24

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

The team did great 👍 but could have been even better if a mens lightweight double had been entered🤔

[@thomasmiller3648]

How are you guys adjusting to having only one kid on the boat?

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Missing Declan so much. A big gap left but Ivan is amazing in his adapting.

[@elvin283666]

It is new to you, right?

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Yes brand new old🙂

[@earlashton1342]

Capt. Ron. Not Capt. Rob. refering to your new sail.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

That works actually.

[@mary-i7d9d]

That has been sail is going to have a blow out the minute a puff of air hits it! Don't do it !!!

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Yeah quite possibly. Keeping our eyes out for other options.

[@Maloy7800]

LOL That's a moldy sail. You are offering 200 NZ dollars for it!? That's what? 80-100 US? Can't you get Ivan to mow someone's lawn and find a better one for like 220? Or get Rachel to jump out of a cake at someone's retirement party and get an even better one for 250? Or get Rob back into pole dancing and maybe splurge on a 300 one? At least I already have a nickname for it - Cinderella.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

@@Maloy7800 I’ll have you know I got 275 for jumping out of that cake 🧁
