MAJESTIC New Sails: The LOVE TRIANGLE Fueling Our EPIC Around The World EXPEDITION | EE 153

[@eternal_sailing]

First of all - big congrats on the new sails, this is awesome, but something isn’t quite right with your main. Either boom is too low, or sail didn’t cut properly, but I know for sure your clew is way too high, it should be laying on the boom, not flying in the air. Talk to your sailmaker, they will advise how to fix it. Best of luck, your channel is amongst my favourites. 21:00

[@Tomm9y]

I agree, the clew is about 9" too high. Part of this may be related to the in mast furling, the cloth used and seams. I would measure the length of the luff from masthead & halyard eye & top of the sail, to the clew. There was no twist in the main as it was flying, so I would expect it to be even higher in stronger winds. It may not seem much to lose some height from the foot of the sail, but this is an important part of the sail. It helps create drive in combination with the jib/genoa when going upwind & reaching, being low down in the sail the power is created with less impact on healing as the centre of effort is lower, that is also important when going downwind.

[@AnthonyJames-ew9nv]

man imcant beleive you guys have been around form almost 5 years of sailboat vlogs. I remember Finding you and being like oooo a secret channel. Then losing your channel then refinding you and binge watching all of your videos during a tooth infection. I can honestly say while i may not have been the best subscriber, you guys have been an awesome and amazing channel to watch!

[@gerry8640]

The new sails are gorgeous. Love the bird silhouettes, nice touch of class. Hope you enjoy them for many years to come (with accompanying videos to follow). Hurry back Jade.

[@NunzaMan]

Congrats on the new wings.... They are beautiful!

[@johaneneqvist5121]

Was the main really correct size? Looked a bit of or was the outhal not tighten? Fair winds

[@donkinzer5718]

I suspect that your boom is supposed to be angled up slightly rather than being perpendicular to the mast. On my Selden in-mast furler, the boom is specified to be about 7 degrees up from perpendicular. When fully unfurled, the foot of my main is roughly parallel to the boom. Check with the manufacturer of your mast to see what they have to say about that. Precision Sails may have some advice on the topic, too.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

What's the reason for the boom to be tilted up? Clear the dodger/bimini?

[@peterhagen7258]

I think there was a measurement or manufacturing error. Look at T=02:12 vs. T=20:49. The sail is not the right shape. Yes, because of the roller-furling main, the clew needs to be a little higher than the tack so, when rolled up, the foot will spiral up & not be so bulky in the mast. But that is way too high. The leech looks to be 2 to 3 feet too short! For now, ease the vang & trim in the outhaul. P.S. You probably ought to have taken dimensions on and of the boat, not just of the old sails. I can't imagine stretching that old jib or main out straight enough on the grass to get good dimensions.

[@nealeburgess6756]

I think Eva was trying to tell you something. Electric winch and bow thruster packing up in one day?? I think she wants to go sailing more often. All this sitting around in marinas is not good enough. Even if it is in a good cause. However, she will probably get over her frustration if you quickly finish her project!

[@jackdbur]

You should look into Soft Starters for the winches & bow thruster! Their not that expensive and cut down the huge start currents.

[@acampbell198]

@@jackdbur That made me think about this boat's history, can't recall the exact nature of what happened to her though...did she take on water? Formerly wet and now corroded wire maybe?? Dauntless was only under water a few hours and Ty wound up pulling all of the wiring out due to corrosion. I'm no electrician though, who knows.

[@anapacha85]

i had missed you guys, omg im happy too see you guys out on the water... please keep posting more vids

[@jasonpacific5661]

It's a wonderful so how you both love your Sails. "I'm so sad to see them go" True Love 😁⛵

[@rbnhood39]

You guys work so well together. Your new sails look so good full of energy and shining in the sun.

[@balaenopteramusculus]

New sails got some serious swag! And love the birdies. ❤

[@fosterd8]

Re the winch tripping the breaker, well these breakers are designed to accept the high inrush current as a motor starts but trip if that high current continues. The way you were using the winch with running in short cycles to control the speed raising the headsail means the breaker is seeing almost constant inrush and will do what it's designed to do and trip.

[@williammyers6766]

I think it is so wonderful that you have new wails. You guys have worked so hard to get to this point. I love watching you and all the work you do to make a wonderful video. Oh how I wish I were young again.

[@DoodlestoPoodles]

Omg you guys should cut the sail up into 1 inch swatches and artistically make them into gifts with fans maybe a picture with you two and the boat with a piece of the sail just an idea

[@callhimrob]

That is sooo much work lol. Still I hope they do.

[@atlancon]

Or tote bags, I think parley revival did that and they came out fantastic, I bet you guys could make bags on a sewing machine during the next passage

[@dimitrikemitsky]

This would be cool!

[@rons9197]

Gear bags!

[@jptrini1]

@@atlancon yes !!!

[@ryanstrickland3449]

High current motors like winches pull a lot of current when starting so the “bumping” of the winch motor probably tripped the breaker. Happy sailing

[@Lonnwriting]

Yippie, your sailing!

[@ianclark8934]

I couldn't see many ticklers on the genoa except for 3 horizontal ones. You need some up the luff so you can properly set the position of the blocks for the genoa sheets (control the twist). This will affect your sail trim.

[@mikefox1332]

I have followed you guys from the first. Searching for your first boat. You picked one that needed an extensive rework. You'll did a great job. I've been a roller every since! 😍

[@RichardSwinton]

u guys are my favorite channel ( and not because Jade has a great butt) but because u never cease to amaze me with your fearlessness, character, ability to figure things out and much more. cheersand be safe

[@chrisweber5269]

yep. not going to lie.. why i watch drool😢

5:35 wink wink nudge nudge sorry not sorry plz forgive? LOL HAHAHAAH AWESOME SHOT BRET!!!!!!!!!!!! apprecieate the effert!

one always has 2 choices, you either let it MESS WITH YOU AND BEAT YOU or you figgure out how to FIX IT MAKE IT BETTER AND MOVE ON :) ((forgot to add that to the good buttttparttt lol heheheh)) 00

[@JWW60]

I just came across you guys channel about 2 months ago an started with the 4 hour sailing across the Atlantic and did such a great job with the video & vlog that it felt like i was sailing with y'all but without getting wet, so now i look forward to new videos. Beautiful sail boat guys.

[@garysmith1639]

Good to see you guys on the water. Sucks about the electrical malfunctions but I’m pretty sure you guys are more than experienced enough to know that boat systems that aren’t used are boat systems that probably won’t work. The new sails look great and you got them installed like a couple of pros! Can’t wait to see that new hardtop installed.

[@edwardstogsdill2577]

I have lost track of you guys. You had sailed to the Azores and then …..gone! I had been following you religiously up to that point, so glad I found you, and the dogs of course.

[@Aussie86Fighter]

The new sails look great. Love your videos. Your happiness is contagious!

[@SawggyDawgAdventures1]

First off, We Love you Guys! I just wanted to say from people like us who have and had similar dreams, besides the most recent health issues I had/have the biggest part my husband and I love about you guys is how well your paw-friendly kids are so well adapted to boat life, and thats because of you guys. We have 4 dogs (labs) and in AK it was fine but in many other areas lime boat life that will be a challenge but its a challenge that we will figure out because we WILL have our next adventure of off-grid life on the water. Keep the "Let's" way of life going and we look forward to seeing your success in all you do. 🩷🙏

[@dianne.murielrobidoux9008]

So refreshing to see you sailing in this video and those sails are beautiful !

[@shluffmuffinsmith7759]

The new sails look awesome. I can't wait to see y'all use them more and more soon

[@vmigop]

Great to see the handsome couple back on the water! Y’all are awesome!

[@craigmensforth1073]

Congratulations on the new sails. Love the bird silhouette motif.

[@zsaiya]

Congratulations on the new sails. Looking forward to all the project videos c:

[@normfacey104]

Nice sails! You two have a great ongoing story, enjoyable camera/drone shots, very nice boat - and are likely the sexiest couple out there sailing. Even like your dogs! All around awesome.

[@MrFroglips69]

Groovy episode. Love the new sails with the cute birds on them, clever.

[@reneewilson1753]

So much fun! Thanks for sharing. We are planning a trip to Italy next year!

[@rboston33]

Great looking new sails. And Jade looks great in stripes

[@russells737]

Great to see you outside again!

[@rogergibb705]

I have watched from your start up to the present and have enjoyed your videos so much that I have started again from the beginning. Just watched this episode with your new sails and then I decided to dip back to where I was with your old video. Where was that episode? Then one when you put up your original sails!

[@captainstevenelson5294]

I’m glad to see you’re sailing again.

[@allenclark1914]

The new sails look beautiful. Congratulations and now back on task to finish your ongoing pending hard dodger. ❤ Love your videos.

[@mikemoran8757]

Great to see you back on the water!

[@amyruschaupt1736]

Loved this video! Congratulations on your new sails🎉😎🎉 I’ve seen people cut up their old sails and make beach bags out of them. Maybe try that?

[@mykgrauss9872]

Brett and Jade, so glad to see you on the water again. That boat needs you two. Great video as always. Safe travels Jade! Hurry back soon. Love to you both!❤️ Myk

[@blueclue57]

I don’t know why, but I was recalling the episode where you were bidding on Eva and nervously waiting for the outcome. Your passion for Eva was evident even before you bought her, and your love for her was very clear throughout this episode years later.

[@tamaramixon6014]

So glad to have seen you all are back have missed you❤❤❤

[@ransonmcconahay5275]

I just recently found your channel in the last few days and Ive been binge watching every episode on both channels since the 4 hr Atlantic crossing video and not even being there hearing the sails flapping and the boat move I was so excited. God damn I want to sail 😭

[@lawrencerinaldo9635]

Good job, I love you guys, great and easy change by the looks of it.

[@singularityscan]

Greetings from Holland!

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Hello there!

[@michiganengineer8621]

Hopefully the thruster issue was just a breaker being stupid from lack of use, great to see you guys back on the water!

[@scriptureplz9045]

I wondered if the new sails would be plain or have something on them. Love the bird images!

[@jaineevans508]

Great episode guys I’ve never heard of there being a no jay walking rule in Spain before ?

[@darkwolffgaming8852]

Hello my wife and I are buying our first sailboat in April and we love watching y’all and your new content. We hope to see y’all out there sometime

[@ExpeditionEvans]

Congratulations!

[@darkwolffgaming8852]

Thank you 😊

[@johnmayer3433]

On my Selden in-mast furling the foot is parallel to the boom and the clew is only a few centimeters above the boom. Your clew seems to be about 40 centimeters above the boom which not only gives away sail area but also makes it aerodynamically less efficient. Sorry guys but that mainsail is not cut correctly. Whatever, it was nice to see you on the water again.

[@Matt-e4x]

I don’t think it’s so much the sail, as the boom is set too low. They just need to raise the boom a bit

[@MyDesertSunshine]

Beautiful

[@edgarmuller6652]

Haven’t seen your videos for a while. I think that the algorithms don’t work on your behalf. Nice to be back.

[@krisk9987]

Happy Summer Sailing!

[@acampbell198]

Completely off subject of your video but...in episode 75 you documented an accident that happened to your friends Ianna (sp) and Andre from Sailing Naida. I stumbled on their channel while researching how to replace my cutlass bearing (they ingeniously did theirs in the water). Of course I started watching a few of their videos and noticed they just stopped suddenly but I was reminded of your episode by comments on their last video and finally put two and two together. A few have asked recently in the comments on their last video (as recently as a month ago) what happened. Wondering if you all have kept up with them and if you know how they are doing? Hoping they are doing well. Congrats on the new sails, they look great!

[@bradwehde1982]

Those look beautiful...

[@1425race]

Genoa looks great - the loose footed main ahh.... not so much although you probably had it partially furled. Probably have to see it fully unfurled to see if it matches the beautiful shape of your old main when you went sailing after the refit

[@DoingitWrong]

Cool sails, I like the birds! And in this video we learned that Penny likes to give directions to get the shot juuuust right. 😂

[@JeromeLoman]

Foot of the sail should be less than 1 foot from the boom with stock sails. Though perhaps they wanted to take it easy with tension on first day out and light wind.

[@codegame027]

If you have the Predict Wind Data Hub it should give you AI Polars and It will be interesting to see how the polars will fill in with these new sails. It will help your hull speed at certain angles for sure!

[@rafagomez3537]

Hola desde Valencia, espero que disfrutéis del mediterráneo y de nuestras costas.

[@jrehtil1494]

I bet those sails will be beautiful

[@tammydialgray2835]

I'm so glad you are happy with the new sales. Could you please straighten up my confusion? Where was the passage across the pond in your time line? I'm so sorry I just haven't understood where you are.

[@mikemoxley9477]

You didn't talk about the birds on the sails? They looked outstanding!

[@skipjack1012]

Birds??

[@thebirdlady4304]

​@skipjack1012 21:30

[@lukemartin4069]

You should make a hammock out of the old sail with the section you had repaired as one end!

[@Shibalvr]

By the end I was yelling at the screen NOOO not be over yet😢😢😢😢😊😊😊😊

[@SirCarlosMusicBMI]

🎉🎉🎉 I really love learning so much about sailing and how things work on a boat. You guys make everything look like fun and that’s because of how you two treat each other with tons of love. It’s always nice to see your new videos. Blessings from Paso Robles, California, Carlos

[@badcat4707]

Yea ! new video 💥😸 ( sorry to hear your wallet got stolen ) I've been using an RDFI wallet for years now cause the dam thieves are just too clever 😾/. Happy to see the Puppers 😻 and Happy Canada Day to you American neighbours 😸🙏🙏

New Sails - nice 🙂 Whats with the old ones now - luggage bags 🙂

[@TexasReal1960]

Awesome people Awsome boat

[@jeffadams7134]

The mainsail does not look correct. Was that from new measurements, or replicating the old sails?

[@JWW60]

Nice sail, you should have put your logo on it but still looks great.

[@turnerdan53]

The sails remind me of an 80's band. Look like a Flock of Sea gales to me.

[@jimgarvin9159]

By the way are you going to have a new spinnaker Sail With The Dogs Logo. The same logo y’all did the the wall that you painted. It Would Be So Cool to see it full of wind. ❤❤❤❤

[@Tim8mit]

If you are close to Panama, it would be a generous gift to the Gunas in the San Blas islands, who sail with old bed sheets and anything else they can find,,,,,,,you could power several boats with the left over good pieces

[@martinmeyer1443]

Absolutely beautiful to see you guys back on the Blue...so when you filled out the forms and made the purchase from Precision, was that their "after-christmas sail sale?"😅

[@Buses2Bikes]

1 - Absolutely Buzz your head. Would love to see Jade sporting a buzz-cut for a few episodes. 2 - How did Brett get the wallop upside his head? Looks like the remains of a shiner under his left eye.

[@jimgarvin9159]

Ok I’m only into this video and have noticed the difference in y’all being so Happy with Joy and even in the last episode it was the same. GET BACK ON THE WATER. Love Y’all. ❤❤❤❤

[@MonkPetite]

Nice job, a bit odd to do that exchange at sea but a very good practice. One question is why didn’t you ad some more sail at the lower aft boom. Now it looks weird, like wrong / short cut sail. Personally I like to sail with a ( losse broek , in Dutch) meaning the sail does only have a line attached at the aft end of the boom. It makes trimming more easy. But still I think the sail is a bit cut short.

[@brent4612]

16:01 if i remember correctly, Penny is Jade's assistant dog, maybe she's trying to tell you something?

[@Charlie-Oooooo]

New sails! Hurray! Now what happens to the old ones? Recycle? Re-purpose?

[@joewaddell9696]

I love the birds

[@Markaria]

We have a Precision Main Sail. We live in Victoria (Sidney BC) where they are made!

[@pauli7457]

Thank you! 🌊🐶🧜‍♂️🧜‍♀️🐶🌊

[@glenns9557]

It took me an hour to watch this episode.

[@ericspeltier]

I love that Precision Sails has a branded wrapping ribbon like Victoria's Secret

[@JWW60]

I read in the comment's that Bret & Jade should cut up the old sail and make wrist bands an other things and Jade is a artist so she could design in her own way. I would buy one. I hope you guys to make a few to see how it would turn out.

[@alexmikhael5061]

the FIBER starts to disintegrate after it breaks apart... ;) kinda sorta... better idea is ''small little paintings of the boat and bird and LETSGO tm on a little framed 8" x 8" piece ;)

[@JWW60]

I like your idea better so yeah hope they go with your idea.​@@alexmikhael5061

[@praeliora]

There are no Jaywalking laws in the UK Jade so you can attempt to die as much as your heart desires when you visit us 😅 You definitely need to make the old sails into bags or something for you shop, and you now need to get you logo on the new ones so you can be spotted by fans as you navigate around the world. ❤
