Precision Sails - the people behind the company you’ve all heard of. Ep 41. S3

[@jacquesdirelande]

Love the Sailing soulianis shirt

[@dougdrinkwater5843]

So many haters!?! I found Precision Sails quote to include options for light duty sails for less than, as well as better quality for FAR more than local sail makers quotes. The communication has been prompt, personal, but still professional. If they stand behind their work to the degree that they will take sails back, what does anyone stand to loose!?! To make negative comments for sharing the excitement of new sails; the service of their supplier, or to say that in some way this is paid endorsement are the words of KZbin (or credit card) captain. I still have a few miles left in my dirty old sails, but when the time comes the opinion of people like Ben, Alie, the crew of Delos, Nutshell, Soulianis, Nahoa, and Matt & Jessica of MJ sailing is going to go a long way! Thanks you.

Great Video guys! It was great to work with you on your new mainsail and have you come to the office.

[@mintpei1]

I love my precision sail. Thanks for showing the legends behind the sails!

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

I love watching your videos, great job guys :) good inspiration as we’re stuck in the boat shed for the foreseeable future! Very cool to see the guys behind precision sails too :)

[@sailingavocet]

We cant wait to get our new precision Head Sail!

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

yeww!

[@iainlyall6475]

you know they get around :-) that one chap had a Sailing Soulianis shirt on. i like them too. even Delos uses them.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Yea they’re a cool bunch. Super supportive of all the channels, and eager to help, also just fun to hang with haha

[@rickczainski9856]

I bought some sails off them two years ago. Awesome bunch and great sails.

[@meestahwah]

I like to call it going broke one awesome thing at a time!!! I know the feeling as I've been refitting my new to me boat for the last year. I've just now been able to sail her. It is worth every boat buck I no longer have!!!

[@mikg7783]

Great episode guys - nice to see kiana getting dressed up- and love the magyver solution to the sail track issue -, nothing that can’t be solved by any of Wd40, zip ties, duck tape or a large hammer

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

ha you know it!

[@87sport]

Great video! I have a new main and headsail being shipped from precision this week I hope. I have been dealing with them the last few months and they are a great company to work with. Can not wait to put them on!

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Congrats! That is so exciting 🙂 they are a great bunch

[@laurencetubbs4052]

I saw a thread where a guy made a gate out of an aluminum piece of carpet tack threshold type strip from the home center and tapped and screwed it to the gate opening, idk looked pretty good for a 20 dollar diy job.

[@bake162]

Not much beats a crisp new sail

[@tjairicciardi9747]

another great video

[@hansjensen7823]

Bypass the oil lines running to the cooler for a bit as a test

[@lyndonevans8033]

Great vid guys

[@OnnoKok]

You got new sails from Precision Sails too! They’ve been great.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Yeah they are awesome to work with!

[@OnnoKok]

@@BreakingWavesSailing I had a some issues with two of the four sails, but they were quick to work on a fix. They’re now at a sail loft here in San Diego getting fixed.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Yea that’s one of my favourite things about them. They’re human and make mistakes but they stand by their quality

[@Coyotehello]

Banana on a boat !! :-) LOL

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

And a woman too 😱

[@Sweetiepiepizza]

Got all my sails.. along with the invoice from the Chinese company that actually made them. Seems that I overpayed by 4k, just to have Precision Sails have their logo put on them.

[@sailing_mahalo]

Great video... Feel for poor Bruce! Will he get used to it over time? How has he adjusted to boat life?

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

he’s generally pretty good with boat life, but he’ll probably always be a bit sucky when the seas get nasty - but he survives!

[@phillip1115]

What is the temperature of your lube oil after your engine has run under load for a while. Most engines don't really require an oil cooler and you may be able to bypass it completely. If you do this monitor your oil temp. carefully. It should run 230 to 260 df.

[@briandale8386]

Did the sail shape change a lot . Can you see a difference in the shape from the old

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Yeah it keeps better shape, we’ve really noticed going upwind less heal as well

[@scable-eq7bp]

Congrats on the new sail, why didn't you have your logo put on the sail? I noticed Sailing Soulianis in the house on a few shots.....

[@RobertSmith-xx5jt]

Excellent video but regarding the sails I was looking for the PS company and I found very bad comments on internet pages about sailboats. The sails are made in china by another company. Many people complain about their quality and poor design. This is reflected in the price of the sails. I personally decided to buy sails from local sail makers.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

To each their own 🙂

[@Coyotehello]

"I personally decided to buy sails from local sail makers." And who was that please?

[@eenvisser1516]

What happened to Ep. 42 S3 I saw it was there but now I want to look it has been deleted or private

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

yep we’ve had an issue with it abs need to repost. Just on the boat at the moment but should be back up in a day or two!

[@sirlandsalot]

i saw my boat!

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

At Canoe Cove?

[@dennismacdonald2003]

Ok hook linen sinker i joined patron. Cheers from Squamish eh

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Hay Dennis!! Thanks for joining the team!! Squamish is beautiful, lucky to live there!!

[@maverick7566]

Pobre Bruce, que le pasa ?

[@raddestraven]

If you would be interested in a Monitor self steering windvane, I have a brand new one with the swing gate, opens to the swim platform and an E-rudder (emergency rudder). It's combined retail is $11,000 US but I could give 70% discount because I'm a chill local on the Sunshine Coast.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

That’s something we might be interested in! Do you have an email we can reach you on?

[@AthelstanEngland]

Next time tell Alie to hold off on filming... could tell you were desperate to eat that banana!!

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

😂

[@allied1394]

Bro can somebody pass me the dog bones tacking bro

[@martincatrasca4773]

This Chinese sail are garbage!!! Sorry guys but this is the true. PS is nothing more than a retailer of cheap sails.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

I am curious have you ever seen one up close or sailed one? What are you making this assessment on? Almost all of our favourite YT channels that have crossed many oceans have Precision Sails on their boat.. so.. they must be good enough for something?

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

I’ll also add that we don’t have a lot of experience with sails to be an authority on this topic but the material and construction quality of the sails seem very high quality to us… just our opinion!

[@martincatrasca4773]

@@BreakingWavesSailing I bought racing sails from them and I had so many issues that I returned . I been sailing and racing for over 25 years. I bought sails from the mayor brands until I got scammed by this guys. I will not recommend their sails. Also I'm not the only person that make negative comments in this channel. I seen at least 4 bad comments about this sail maker(down below)

[@Maddie-Girl]

Offshore ,,China darling and no not all major sails are made in China

[@ToddMoore1]

That stabilization is making me dizzy...

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

We’ve picked up a gimbal which should help with that!

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

I love watching your videos, great job guys :) good inspiration as we’re stuck in the boat shed for the foreseeable future! Very cool to see the guys behind precision sails too :)

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Thanks - so stoked to see your project boat vids :) If you come home to BC for a visit hit us up!!

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

@@BreakingWavesSailing we definitely will! really hoping for a border opening this summer.
