New Running Rigging for our Catamaran. (Learning By Doing Ep216)

[@akromafia]

Nice point on the whipping. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

Thanks 👍

[@AndrewKnights]

Vernon. You’re a bloody legend. I’ve been sailing for fifty years and tried multiple times to learn how to do an eye splice in a spectra cored rope, and I’m stuffed if I can do it. For me it always jams at the bury. Congratulations! 😊

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

Maybe beginners luck? Its the same method as double braid. It really depends on the spectra I found. One bit I have the sheath was so tightly woven that I had no chance. New rope was way way easier than old rope.

Nice and organized. : )😁

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

Thank you! 😊

Looking forward to seeing this beast flying in the optimum conditions for this boat to hit her top speeds. Narrow hulls dagger boards the rotating mast, no excess apartment style living like so many cats seem to be all points to something quick. If it's gonna be a cat this is exactly what you'd want

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

We shall see I guess. Thing is, I have no idea yet when I'm pushing it and how far as she doesn't "talk" to me like Schiehallion did. I guess you just push until the sails or mast break then you've hit the limit?

[@Antipodean33]

@@SailingLearningByDoing Did the previous owner say anything about how quick he got her

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

@@Antipodean33 he said he got 19 on a wave which I believe as I got 16.8 on a wave with just the jib. I’m guessing 20 should be doable in the right conditions and pushing hard.

Thanks for your video it was very informative and impeccable

Glad it was helpful!

Nice T shirt!

I love it, Jamie Lynn design for Volcom

[@jonathanscott550]

thanks for another great learning video cheers

[@giork2828]

1:30 watch that with earphones! Vernon, your sped-up clips like this one, and especially those where you move the camera around, look so nice, always. Looks like a girl edits those... hahaha Cheers, mate!

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

New rope 👏

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

Man, you guys with the sailing lingo. It is all just ROPE, until its made into something else. Its not a coil of SHEET or a roll of HALYARD, its ROPE until its made into a Halyard.

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

@@SailingLearningByDoing It's rope until it's something else. ➰️🤣

[@lukewilliams9082]

Sydney rope supplies are great. Have gone in and got ropes off them twice now and will continue to use. Was almost going to suggest them in previous video but thought the KZbin videos may have been months behind.

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

Yeah, happy with them for sure, super fast shipping. We're only 2 weeks behind with the videos.

[@davidwarnes5158]

Loosen the topping lift when you go sailing , pull it back on when you drop the sail, that's normal on a cat .

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

👍

[@davefoster7770]

Nice. Lookıng spıffy.

[@chhindz]

Rotating mast is a curious item. No need to explain anytime soon maybe give extensive road test.

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

Rotating mast was added in 2014. I used it now as its there. I guess on a long passage it would make a difference though.

[@jamesgordon2289]

I really enjoyed the Video. Don't undersell yourself! Can I please ask , what is a screecher? pardon my ignorance

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

Thanks for that. Screecher is a catamaran term, basically a code O or genaker.

[@jamesgordon2289]

@@SailingLearningByDoing Thank you for replying I learned something new. Much appreciated

[@freddywulf2024]

What do you do with the other end of the Screacher yellow line/looped line?

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

How do you mean? There is no end.

[@freddywulf2024]

1 side of the loop goes through the furling drum, and the rest of the yellow loop goes where? Love your Episodes and adventuring!@@SailingLearningByDoing

[@tonypurkiss6022]

You need to watch the video again. He explained that the screatcher furling line is endless. In other words, and as shown, both ends of the line are spliced together. Cheers from Newcastle Australia

[@tonypurkiss6022]

Also, I forgot to mention that the furling system on the screacher works by pulling one side of the furling line to pull the sail out and you pull the other side of the line to furl the sail up. Hence that is why you have an endless furling line.

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

@@freddywulf2024 I fuel and unfurl the screecher from the bow, sitting on the trampoline, then I just tie the furling line off on a cleat there.

[@rhinooz1]

Watching you handling ropes. You are putting twists into the new lines if you just pull the lines of the roll sideways. You need to run the line by spinning the new roll to avoid twists. I do like your new boat .

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

Thanks for the tips!

[@UUBrahman]

Channel youngbarnacles features a NZ family on 1992 Catana 42s designed by Lock Crowther, looks like your boat's bigger sister. Skipper has an engineering degree and decades of experience on racing sailboats. Your new boat is really cool.

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

Sounds cool, I'll check them out.

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

You did a beautiful job filming and explaining. The ending shots of the video with each line shown and labeled were perfect. Love the 360 from the mast. I'm glad you were able to get different color lines instead of a reel of all the same color, as discussed last week. Don't discredit yourself. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@torbrand5536]

First

[@DialedN_07]

With all of your splicing, I was surprised to see that you didn't splice the end of the headsail sheets. Could go soft shackle connection, or even a regular shackle. It sure cleans up the clew of the sail, especially while furled.

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

Nothing simpler than a good ol bowline. Never put a hard shackle on the clew of a sail unless you want it to whack you in the teeth someday. Soft shackles, mmmh, haven't got on that train yet.
