Sam looks significantly more like a Florida resident with that mustache

[@halomaniac74]

I was going to say he has the porn Stache going.

[@simonjamestatt3613]

The onboard windsurfing shots are epic. Sailing past the sunset in the wide shot at the end. Magic Sam.

[@boatfools]

Great video. Consider finding yourself a used, modern, shorter, wider windsurfer and you will work less hard, go faster, and plane way sooner in less wind! Lots of used gear in FLA! I sail a 2006 Fanatic Shark 145 and have hit 32 kts. Scared the hell out of myself but loved every second! These shorter boards would be easier to store on your boat, too.

[@trimaranchuck]

When using epoxy ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES!... When gluing wood, always pre wet the joint with unthickened epoxy before adding thickened. If you don't, you can wind up with a weak joint from the dry wood absorbing the epoxy, instead of the epoxy bridging the joint. For that joint at the top of the mast, you could use six layers of cloth because it rides out of the water.

[@FJPRanch]

Been watching your videos for awhile and finally pull the trigger on a 23 San Juan Sailboat. I'm in Fort Lauderdale and need Sailing Lessons.

[@davidc6510]

Another great episode of Sam Holmes Sailing. Thanks for sharing.

[@tinhodornellas]

In the footstraps! Good footage! We used to rig in the water. Tied the board to the boat, than sat on the board and rigged the sail and boom. Then reverse the procedure for de- rigging. You could use the inflatable board for extra rigging platform. Then it is easy to put the components back into the boat, by standing on the inflatable , or the board.

[@bassingbasics6621]

Couldn’t have asked for a better video to wake up to. Thank you for sharing! 🙌

[@georgewashington7444]

Love the old school Mistral. The first place I tried windsurfing was Bahia Honda @1988 as a 15yr old and have been hooked ever since.

[@Cortez69Film]

😊 really that board is like stoneage.. a 10 year old board is so much more fun and faster.

[@fespa]

Just one thing missing in this great looking diving video. The fishy music. :)

I love watching your videos, I just bought my first boat finally!

[@chasegobble9643]

That wide shot at 13:00 is so great.

[@vinceglauser4770]

The lobsters look delicious.

[@andrewferrant1319]

loving the handlebar tache. Bit of duck tape below the boom on the mast should help stop the slippage. use to do it on the old longboard race sails

[@larseriksen8212]

the Windsurfing part bring me back to the the early 80´ish

[@kend1053]

right in my old back yard. Used to work at the Looe Key Reef Resort and Dive shop...Hah...40 years ago. Probably not even there anymore. You might need to make some changes to the foil and drill it and pin it? Maybe ask Sven what he'd suggest for a repair?

[@shortwidgets]

Love the stash.

[@nc-hoosier3537]

From your last upload - running aground: Maybe pick up a simple kitchen timer for those power naps, spring wound. Set for up to an hour. Fail safe. Aurora awaits your triumphal return.

[@gregzeszotarski9927]

Hey, nice bike Sam, I have an Lectric too, first generation before they came out with the Lite so mine is a lot heavier. I have over 1600 trouble free miles on mine and it still runs perfectly. You'll enjoy the Lite, lot easier to get off and on your boat.

[@Hausmonovitch]

Awesome video Sam!!! Anchored/ ran aground! 😂

[@tyrotrainer765]

That boat is like The Tardis, from Dr. Who! Sam manages to carry all his sailing kit plus his bike plus his saily toys.

[@patrickjames1080]

Brilllllliant Sam - thanks for sharing 👍 Anchored at Ramrod last year- thanks for the inspiration!

[@sailingkeylimepie-pirateflag]

next time, pre soak the wood core with epoxy, until the wood stops absorbing it. then you can use the thickened epoxy to glue. otherwise, you may have a dry lay-up. cheers, mate.

[@dherman0001]

Sam has got me seriously thinking of selling my lumber mill for a sailboat. Anyone out there with a sailboat wanna trade? For years I had my mind set on a huge catamaran. Sam has shown me why smaller is better. Reasonably small that is. My mindset has totally changed.

[@tyrotrainer765]

I've sailed my own 25ft Westerly, up to Nicholson 55s, but my dream boat is the Najad 34 (feet). I sailed them many times when I was in the UK military. They'll go anywhere, any weather, and they have tons of room below. AND with a bit of customisation they would be easy single handed, or for a couple. I skippered a trip from Denmark to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, via the Bay of Biscay. The boat was a delight for the whole trip. They are such a well built strong boat and they go fast for their size. Value for money too, a lot of bang for your buck.

[@dherman0001]

@@tyrotrainer765 You made me look them up. Yeah, they are on my list now. There's a sweet Najad 36 in Maine for sale. 129k. Good price for Najad.

[@tyrotrainer765]

@@dherman0001 Fingers crossed! The hardwood finish on the 34s was gorgeous. If the boat is in sound condition I doubt you will be disappointed. If it is your first boat I'd highly recommend you get a professional inspection; may cost you a few hundred bucks but could save you a fortune in the long run. Things like corroded chain plates and stays can be awfully expensive to fix. Plus the inspector will be able to advise on the price, if it needs adjusting down.

[@dherman0001]

@@tyrotrainer765 Maybe I can offer Sam some money to inspect it and take her out.

Hey dude, I’ve got a very similar ebike (I think there are many bikes using the same design) Anyway, you can take the key out and it will stay locked. The key location is dumb but you don’t need to access it very often.

Have you seen the videos on the IMOCA boat race. They just rounded cape horn after a 1000 mile plus leg of the race. Ben

[@jeremylewis4123]

Those Mistral longboards from the mid 1980s really love a long reach at speed! (My 12 ft Bic Bamba is very similar.) Gybing and running I still find a challenge on mine, because the position is so unstable on a narrow board, and you have to weight the stern to raise the bow to let the long board turn. Have loved your channel, with your varied adventures and your ability to improvise and repair old kit. My windsurf gear is cobbled together from old used pieces, so i appreciate your talents! How did you find runs and turns on the Mistral?

[@pinkladybikermamma3603]

WHOLE DIFFERENT WORLD DOWN THERE!

Mustache looking glorious Sam.

[@hugopalmer6473]

That is unfortunately not a very humane method to kill a lobster due to its decentralised nervous system.

[@samholmessailing]

I did not know that. What do you think is the best way?

​@@samholmessailing Not sure if this is the best way but I just came across this method on this video the other day. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qofVn6ewo7h8mdE 17:37

New camera? Vid looks amazing there Sam!

[@RussellPecot]

Titebond III would have been a better wood glue choice for your application. It's waterproof. But hopefully you got enough wraps on there to keep the water out

[@townsleycurtis1571]

Yes, but it was all I had in the cabinet 😮

[@enmodo]

I don't think the glue has any use other than temporarily holding the wood together before it is glassed. All the strength is in the fiberglass and epoxy.

[@redwood1957]

Nice video. I wonder how 3m 5200 would work on that repair. Thank you

I am still about 2 years back in your videos so not sure what you have done, but for the trailing whaler dingy behind your boat, have you considered a rudder, maybe like a surf board, under it that is removeable by sliding it forward out of a groove, then your dingy wouldn't fishtail :)

[@squiglesmcgee304]

hot damn thats a good mustache

[@Eric_In_SF]

@Sam I don’t know too much about fiberglass but I really feel like some sort of metal T-rod would add some strength to that joint, at the very least some drywall screws. Also before you started putting on the new layers it looks like it had lifted from underneath which she probably should’ve chipped off since now your fiberglass is just attached to loose fiberglass. Finally I just want to say I appreciate your approach to ads. And everybody knows it’s kind of bullshit but it pays the bills so that we can get more videos and I like that you’re not lying about the stuff and kind of giggle when you’re exaggerate.

[@Eric_In_SF]

Ha ha I know I just watched your break it. Bummer but you need to add some sort of reinforcement rod. Fiberglass on its own cannot support lateral forces like that. Even putting on like three L brackets on each side would probably do the trick

[@petecanning290]

the link to townsleys channel doesnt work for me just fyi
