Our Windiest Conditions Sailing Around The World (so far!) [Ep. 170]

[@KnightOnBaldMountain]

1:05 Beautiful couple, beautiful ocean. This gal is so pretty.

[@captainjimolchs]

And seaworthy!

[@RimasMeleshyus]

Great video again ,many thanks . Another great episode sailing ⛵🌊 Greetings from Patagonia Chile, already one since I left of Hawaii islands. I was living about 36 years in different Hawaii islands I'm watching all sailing channels around the world 🌎 ⛵

[@FernandoOliveira-oy4gy]

What amazes me is how y’all manage all weather conditions so perfectly. Starting with the preparation before the start, reading the weather forecast, making wise decisions in advance, and then sailing through the waves and strong winds safely. Curtis is a great captain. Great was also to see the mullets again. 😂 Stay safe, y’all.

[@captainjimolchs]

That's what sailors do.

[@joseerazevedo]

Amazing images and memories! Congratulations and thanks for sharing these special moments. Patagonia, in special, was unforgetable! Thanks!

[@sandyestabrook3898]

Even though I viewed all 10 back in the day, its still Hats off to you guys for the video Docu.

[@kylejazwiecki714]

Great video! I think my favorite sailing moment from you guys is all of episode 64! That's a great rip downwind that looked really fun!

[@user-uf1cm3to7m]

You guys are truly the best ❤️ I can tell you really love sweet ruca! You have so many priceless memories on her ❤ I love how real and down to earth you are. God bless you.

[@njbaskipper]

Cool, An enchanting Jazz Wind festival 🎷🎺👏👏👏👏

[@miketcq8]

all of them.. awesome guys

[@Tomm9y]

So interesting to see these clips together. The combination of the Ruca and the excellent skills of Kate and Curtis, make this captivating viewing. As Kate says, Curtis's weather routing skills are very good. I would recommend watching the full videos to get an even better idea of the planning of the passages, particularly getting around Cape Horn.

[@spikeafrican8797]

Ruca is amazing... not to mention your trip!

[@jeankriebel8246]

They are all my favorites!!

[@ericrowet2465]

Great !!! Congratulations from Belgium !!!

[@milanali2005]

Great Video:)

[@Urluk47]

That was awesome to watch! A great boat sailed by skilled crew. So much to aspire to!

[@jimdemarest994]

Great compilation of your windy conditions. Thanks for taking us along.

[@gradkison]

Ya all are crazy in a good way.

[@tomtribby2309]

Amazing content. Thank you, Sailing Sweet Ruca.

[@stubby2822]

This is great. I remember every one of those videos when you put them out. Big smiles and laughter. Concern and outright fear in some of them. Yep. Yall are crazy. In a good way though. Best sailing channel on KZbin by far. Keep having fun and stay safe. Bill

[@jaythomas996]

Simply awesome! Thanks so much for sharing that video.

[@jpdj2715]

I would have been happy to see a "new" video documenting your travel in the South Pacific, but this compilation is really great. One Ytoober calls anything BS that's not sailing. Well, that's BS, and this video is no BS. Wow. It's really great sailing. As there was a sexist comment in today's short, and Kate set it straight, I can only add to that, you're both doing great. Thank you for the wavy ride.

[@richardcamp8301]

a nice wrap up and reminder. You are very good sailors.

[@TheSWRProject]

Keep it safe guys..... 🙏

[@captainjimolchs]

Sail fast and reckless.

[@harbourdogNL]

11:46 Ha! Ma'am you are hardcore! And #4...I am dying to do that trip. This is the first of your videos I've watched, really great. Gonna sub and watch some more!

Big waves but nowhere near Cape Horn waves you sailed. Best. Hoist the main: unfurl the jib

[@jpdj2715]

When you mention a distance in miles, do you by default mean nautical miles (NM) because you're at sea? 4,000 from ~Canaries to ~mid Brazil coast? That's 7,401 km for decimal metric heads or 4,603 landlubber miles. And 15.4 knots (NM/hour) equals 28.5 km/h or 17.7 miles/hour - that's seriously fast for a "regular" boat. And then 16.1 knots: 29.8 km/h or 18.5 mi/h

[@captainjimolchs]

Nautical miles are the only kind a sailor knows. It's a navigation thing. Paper charts have no mileage scale.

[@captainjimolchs]

As Trystan Jones once said: "Even the bloody French navy use miles."

[@jpdj2715]

Guys, I asked the Sweet Ruca team, and I appreciate you giving the non-decimal non-metric socially desired answer that I already knew from the pros that command vessels in the 1,000 feet length class (in my personal network). Your reply is not a firm answer to my question if you never confirmed with the racy Sweet Ruca crew that they leave "nautical" implicit when discussing miles. We are back to centuries ago when every region in continental Europe had its own definition of "mile" and without adding the regional qualifier nobody knew exactly what a mile meant. In US big enterprise, nobody works "imperial" which small businesses and citizens still do. This is only a problem when a small business worker gets a job at NASA and they never gave them the "joiner" training. In another YT channel we can see a couple of young British kids that have been educated decimal/metric and already have problems with the anachronistic units. In my youth in my continental European parents' continental European home we anachronistically used Fahrenheit for temperature. We said 68 Fahrenheit when other homes said 20 Celsius. It takes some time to adjust and with a few reference numbers it's very easy to all speak and understand the same language. When astronauts (literally "star navigators" but the old Greek sailors - and before - navigated the stars too ;) ) get killed because of these confusions, then historical has become hysterical. The introduction of railways and their time tables has forced the world to abolish all local times and move to Universal Time Coordinated plus a time zone. And that fixed time religion already had its believers among sailors as an aid in determining where in the ocean they were. It's not too difficult to make it easy. AFAIK know at nation state level, there are two imperialistic unit nations left. That elite consists of USA and Myanmar, plus a few old folk in the UK and Liberia. At industry level, sailors are in that "elite" too. Wow. If you command the "we brake for nobody" class of ships in AIS, then my question is superfluous. For 95% of YT viewers around the world it is very relevant.

[@captainjimolchs]

@@jpdj2715 1 nautical mile is 1 minute of arc on the earth. All navigators use them. Airplanes are calibrated in knots. Self-righteousness does not change that. Even your megalithic monster boats use them. Personally, hearing a navigator say "nautical" and "mile" together sounds like he is scratching fingernails on a blackboard.

[@braddobson2060]

It's to bad that you have run out of interesting content

[@captainjimolchs]

This is the most Interesting content that they have ever done -- to us sailors. Listen carefully: "Despite the strong winds, we are grateful for a fast passage". Get it? Just a couple of busy days at the office. --Others would drag this out for weeks while hawking therapy. --Only 30 knots? They can handle more, but are being kind to Sweet Ruca. --Speaking of Curtis' weather routing skills, he once kicked butt in a long race.

[@janjazwiecki6217]

@@captainjimolchs That was a great long race too. It was fun to watch on the tracker.

[@harbourdogNL]

Too bad you're a twat.

[@danpoczynek]

There is two sailing channels I truly enjoy watching because of the non BS just sailing. Your Chanel’s sailing sweet ruca and Erik Aanderaa if you find your selfs having some down time I suggest checking out his Chanel page it truly separates sailers from Wannsee’s
