Our New Boat is a Sailing MACHINE (12ft waves!) EP. 101

[@Boundless_Adventure]

Sailing at its finest! If you're a sailor, what's one of your favorite moments out on the water? If you aren't, what's one of your most memorable moments doing something you love?? ❤

[@danrubin4506]

This is one of the better videos about the realities of being under sail. Thanks for sharing your experience with sail trimming and the shot of both of you at the stern with Boundless self-steering downwind is perfect.

[@garybarichello6286]

Am most impressed with how tidy you both are on the boat. No lines or loose ropes on deck and galley all put away save needs for meal. Everything clean an shipshape, keep up grezt work.

[@Boundless_Adventure]

We try and keep her "ship shape" thank you for commenting 😊

[@diIdaho]

Just came upon your channel. What a refreshing view! I’m tired of the popular channels that lag in time, edit them for their patrons and are leaving subscribers behind. You have a special finesse with editing that is warm, welcoming, and enjoyable. I’ll be back. Thanks.

[@Boundless_Adventure]

We put a lot of love into our videos, and are glad you found our channel and are enjoying it! 😊

[@kappaiota5105]

lag time is unavoidable and often YT will not permit certain edits. Also patrons and patreons pay a bit more (money and time) - so, longer edits or "better" edits is part of what is paid for. I tend to pay attention to the audio as much as the video, though the views can be spectacular - the audio - sounds of life, water, weather and land and land life - or modern life - and music *_(!)_* are just as important and often over looked. I do get it to some point - some music or sounds may attract wider audience, though often they appear to be _dainbread zombies_ or some other nonsense - to each their own! Music is important. Often songs with a _singer (term used loosely)_ can detract and not because they are a _bad signer,_ it is simply that the song and signing are hamfisted into parts with the wild life or boat life or boat project life sounds would work way better! Some channels are including premium music for bits and parts and that can work wonders.

[@SailingFeeling]

My favourite sailing channel, hope Boundless makes it to the UK one day 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

[@DanFerrantelli]

Great video! Love to see you two sailing and in relaxation mode.

[@babygoat1963]

I am really looking forward to seeing you two go thru the Panama Canal, between your attention to detail and cinematography skills, it will be epic! Keep up the good work and be careful!

[@davidh3194]

Love the video! Keep this up and you will have 1M subs. I can’t wait for the canal crossing and the Pacific. Cheers!

[@Boundless_Adventure]

We're shooting for the stars! Thank you 😊

[@ashley-tm1uk]

she is indeed a proper yacht!…and, if your boat was as turn key as it appears, i am amazed and envious…she is completely outfitted in high quality all the way around…the more is see her, the more i know you made a great deal and couldn’t find a finer one… btw…bold decision to head west …that’s when you know that you have complete confidence in your yacht….i’ll be looking for you…cheers!

[@ti.mythril]

Great vlog! Best of luck! I used NOVUS plastic polish on my jeep soft top for 30 years with great success. Works good on plexiglas too. I used to put a Terry cloth on an orbital sander and it polished everything great with little effort.

[@sidneymcdonald1673]

Love watching your videos wish you guys nothing but the best great vlogs your dad came to fix our furnace one day and I had you guys on TV you guys take care

[@johndavis5970]

just now found you folks.. enjoying your videos.. thank you..

[@davidnichols147]

Fantastic meal, we wish you all the best in 2024 and lots of good reading ahead. Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year.

[@murphyrp01]

What I appreciate with your videos Parker is that you have approached this whole project with a high level of planning, professionalism and competence. Unlike some sailing channels like Mereweather and Atticas who seem like they just bumble along and aren’t competent boat fixers nor sailors. Keep up the good work

[@johnmayer3433]

If you ment Sailing Project Atticus I do not concur with your critics. They fixed there first boat up from wreck to a seaworthy yacht and made their second boat ready for sailing around the world. All done in good craftsmanship and well planned! They crossed the Atlantic and are roaming the Med now. What is it you don't like, they couldn't do and have done any better?

[@jeffalexander544]

[@EileenMetrejean]

Good morning, from Louisiana, I watch you and your beautiful sail boat and I wish I was young again ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉 safe travels 🎉🎉🎉.

[@Boundless_Adventure]

Good morning! Thank you for watching our videos ❤️❤️ and for the comment! Cheers 🎉🎉

[@michaelmerrithew4042]

Recently, found your vlog and enjoy the kindness you show to each other. Watching videos as you moved onto the new boat. Doing the exact same thing myself. Been sailing 60 years and leaving for Southern waters in July. On all my boats I use a pump up spray tank with hot water, bleach and pin-sol to kill and prevent mold. I have come upon a product called Spray And Forget, a mold killer/preventer. The bleach/pin-sol kills it immediately and floods it away.

[@cindylowrie9008]

Hello, Wave Dancer here.. we are a Passport 42 1983 Cutter Rig. After 11 years of cruising the Gulf coast and up the Atlantic. We are now doing a needed refit in Trinidad. We'll be watching your adventures!

[@Boundless_Adventure]

Hey Wave Dancer! Our Boundless is hull #33 built in 1984. We are looking to do a bit of a refit at some point, but will continue cruising for a while before stopping to do so. We took care of a lot of stuff while in Panama. If you look in the "about" section of our KZbin channel page, you'll find a contact section where you can email us. I'd love to chat about our boats!

[@gmartin1726]

Terrific editing and filming skills, which have been consistently excellent since your early voyages through the Erie Canal , down the east coast, Puget Sound to San Francisco and in the Bahamas. Your talent in that regard is outstanding on KZbin.

[@Boundless_Adventure]

Thank you so much! We sure do put a lot of love into our videos. Here's to many more adventures and sharing them with the world 🌎😊

[@angry1two]

Such good editing! Wishing you many happy journeys ahead :) Well deserved after that re-fit

[@robvanderveen3578]

Love your videos! Fair winds from a fellow world sailor from Holland👍

[@user-retsailor]

Just came upon this video. Fantastic boat ! It seems like it really wants to go and just waiting on people to steer her. Safe travels...

[@davek4442]

We new to your channel and so far will follow your journeys! Really like your discussion on the aspects of life at sea and your boat. Safe passage to you both! I sailed on Lake Erie as a child with my uncle, my dad had a power boat but always enjoyed the sailing more.

[@johnmayer3433]

I use the boom vang, the outhaul and the halyard to trim the main. That way it keeps its shape independent of the main sheet tension and the traveller is only used to move the boom to the right angle to the wind.

[@Boundless_Adventure]

Interesting! Thank you for sharing! I'll have to try those three things with more intention

[@annanirathsi1111]

Wow, you captured the sounds and views of sailing in a way I haven't seen before on YT.

[@Boundless_Adventure]

Thank you so much! I am always striving to capture it as realistically as possible. I'm working on recording higher quality audio for the sounds of sailing as well. It's a challenge especially when the sailing is great, because theres more wind noise to deal with!

[@annanirathsi1111]

@@Boundless_Adventure I grew up sailing on Lake Michigan so I enjoyed all the sounds while at sail, it just brought me back instantly to that place in time. I think this is why I love seeing videos of people out in nature or in different countries, for people that are not mobile for what ever reason, these videos can feel like a life line.

[@andrewlloyd3371]

Boundless does sail well it must be very reassuring. Another great episode. Go Boundless!

[@Sv_SeaDuctress]

Awesome video as usual-living the dream

[@Boundless_Adventure]

Thanks so much! We sure do feel like it! 😊

[@richardburger3350]

It was great to see you drop the boarding ladder before you jumped in. Many have died due to that failure.

[@KP_1843]

Love your channel! More subs to come 👍

[@sailingcontigo7953]

Great video guys! So glad we met you and got to spend some time together in the San Blas. We wish we could buddy boat to Mexico with you but its not in the cards. One comment....I find sailing down wind I don't get the telltales on the main leech to stream like when sailing upwind. Off the wind the pressure is mostly on one side of the sail whereas upwind you use the sail like an airplane wing and develop lift, so you have wind on both sides of the sail and the telltales stream back. We hope you are having fun on The Pacific.

[@richardburger3350]

The boom vang should be able to overcome the rigid boom support. It is spring loaded, so should allow tightening to bring the boom lower, or on the other hand, allow the boom to rise as needed.

[@wahid-lg1kk]

OMG you actually gave basic BOAT DATA! No one does that.. Good job.. Thank you. Good choice of boat. A little short on ballast at 35% ratio but capsize screening 1.7, and hull speed 8 knots, wow, fast boat...

[@markbuskens6070]

Beautiful boat

[@shreksswamp9001]

See you next year! 🤣🤣🤣 Well, we are definitely in next year. It's March already. And a Happy New Year to both of you as well. Katie, being a long time bronchitis sufferer as I am, well, used to be, the one thing I knew that helped me especially with lying down and sleeping when my chest was that bad and coughing a lot, is a hot water bottle or heat pack on my chest. Don't lie it across your chest. Lie it up the centre of your chest and heat up your breast bone area which will then transfer the heat into both lungs. Just don't make it too hot. Remember your heart is in there too. The heat will settle the coughing and you'll go off to sleep very easily after that. The reason for putting it in the centre is because underneath is the bronchus, which is where most of the irritation is from causing the coughing. Drink plenty of salted water. That is good clean water with some Celtic or Himalayan salt added. Just a pinch. This helps the cells actually absorb the water and you can then drink a good amount, which is paramount for good health and fighting off infections. All that fresh clean air will have done you the world of good too. Anyway, enjoyed the video. I've seen so many other sailing channels go through the Panama Canal. It'll be great to see how you guys handled it. Clearly you are already through and probably up in the Sea of Cortez or somewhere else by now.

[@nutsandbolts432]

Kind of a major change of plans on a whim. Big difference between east coast sailing and west coast. Reckon I’ll have to stay tuned to figure out your future destinations.

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Thank you.

Groovy episode

Thank you 🤙🏼

[@js7127]

Efficient Boat and seems you two are bonding with her quickly. Tail winds n Best to ya!!

[@benlindner5285]

Hi Parker and Katy how come you aren't using your Monitor? You definitely want to be familiar with it and work out any kinks before a major passage. Rest assured that your autopilot will fail so the less you use it and need it the better. Beautiful boat with lots of high end finishes, hard lifelines all the way around wow! You found a great boat. Great episode, btw the fabric bits on the sails are TellTales. Ben S/V DAWN

[@Boundless_Adventure]

We haven't had a chance yet, but it's on the list to familiarize ourselves with it! We sailed with ours on Seawind and it was wonderful. Maybe this will prompt me to try it out next time we are sailing :)

[@johnmayer3433]

I don't remember telling you that your tiny radar reflectors are simply useless. You need a big rectangular one or even better the active type. Happy sailing!

[@Boundless_Adventure]

I think I did see a comment (maybe from you) about that a while back. We transmit AIS which is nice, and I've read that having the two radar reflectors on either side of the boat on an angled shroud helps because on either tack, one is standing relatively straight up and down. Ive never heard of active radar!

[@johnmayer3433]

@@Boundless_Adventure Fishing vessels are infamous for switching of their (active) AIS so if they haven't got an extra passive one they do not see you! Also boats not legally obligated to use AIS are certainly big enough to sink you in case they don't see you in foggy conditions. As for your tiny reflectors, the British MAIB (Marine Accident Investigation Branch) has in 2007 tested a broad range of reflectors and your type 'performed very poorly'. An active radar reflector is produced e.g. by Echomax company, the name is Active-X-Band, the price is around 950 €. Its antenna is about the size of your passive device. I know from experience that it shows an echo like from a huge freighter on any radar device. Of course, a lot of money. But you should at least go for a big rectangular reflector with a size between 300 mm and 470 mm. They can be disassembled and may be hosted only e.g. for an overnight passage. Best thing though is to mount it on the mast top .

[@doncritzer2798]

The spring tension isnt adjustable?

[@StormSignal]

Hi guys. I see you have quite an unusual swim ladder. Did you feature it more closely in another video perhaps?

[@RaulLorenzoMari]

Muy buen Velero, que lo disfruten. Una sugerencia, si puedes, evita el Triángulo de las Bermudas. Buena Mar.

Good luck. I guess you may see me in the PNW. SV BROOKLYN. San Juan Islands.

First time here subscribed and liked 👍. I nearly moved on during the first 3mn as i prefer sailing videos with natural sounds (water &wind) rather than 🎶 🎵 then by magic after 3mn the noise 🎶 stopped and it was such pleasure to watch 👌👍💯 awesome video 👌 Super 🆒️ 👌 you two are lovely couple and make wonderful videos 👌👍💯🥰 ✌❤☘ 🌬⛵

The fact that you've acknowledged the amount of privilege involved in your lifestyle endears me to your story. Thanks for sharing

[@phoenix327]

reading books can give you specific knowledge of what you need to know, however addictive reading of many books is self imprisonment of the mind of hiding from reality, ask a person what was the subject in the book they read 10 books back, or 50 they don't know., but its nicer to have your partner quietly read than asking thousands of none stop useless questions.

I'm always confused about the blurry line between privilege and hard work.

[@assafjacob5762]

You're both being professional as you can be which is appreciated 👏 but today the little soeach at 22:42 with tapping the lady on the head and then saying that "you viewers are so lucky" made me assume that you are a narcissist and Katy should be well aware over that which you cannot hide. Respectfully we are all different of course. (*Narcissists aren't necessarily bad intentioned nor are they all psychopaths. Katy study the subject for happy living)

Quite disturbing to me that you don't seem to think about describing your boat. Sailors love to talk tech about their boats.
