Sailboat projects & some actual sailing!

[@carlhicks2889]

I have to say Sams channel is the most realistic of all the sailing channels, no big buck sponsors, just an average Joe sailing for the pure joy of sailing.

[@Sp3ktral22]

Amen!

[@svamour4574]

Spot on, I agree.

[@alexteubert5516]

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite KZbin channels of all time and I haven't been on a sailboat in years. Much appreciate your straightforward and simple editing style. Keep it up

[@spymaine89]

amen Sam is a ''one in 1000 year phenomenon.

[@jonasjeffery702]

sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!

[@ianjaiden6905]

@Jonas Jeffery instablaster ;)

[@jonasjeffery702]

@Ian Jaiden i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@jonasjeffery702]

@Ian Jaiden It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out !

[@tomdavis282]

Just went to polish the old acrylic and realized I don't have time for that! Amen, brother! You got me laughing out loud with that one. 😆

[@GoodkatNW]

Hey Sam, After a few days, give that porthole another tightening; the butyl tape typically needs a 2nd round, as it spreads/loosens slightly after the initial install. Always a good time seeing your progress!

[@the-selfish-meme7585]

Fixing up a boat one-handed is impressive stuff!

[@np8443]

Holding an iPhone while you DIY everything is the true meaning of single-handing

[@mammaholmes]

Great video, Sam. Glad I taught you all that stuff (jk). -mom

[@dan711g]

We are all glad you taught him all that stuff too!!!

[@clubracer6]

You did great mom!!

[@mammaholmes]

I love the quick intro and outro - just right! And did anyone else notice he calls Zach's boat a "little boat" - but it's two foot longer than the one he sailed from CA to HI ⛵

[@werock1998]

Very true! But when your 6"4' it still feels quite little haha

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

So nice to see you on the water thanks to your friend Zack. Stay safe and healthy 😘⛵️⛵️

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Always a good feeling getting back on the water under sail. Nice boat too.

[@earthangel8730]

Your smile is contagious Sam. My cheeks hurt.

[@SuperJlonergan]

he talks like a ventriloquist...i cant watch

[@SuperJlonergan]

he needs to tuck those choppers in

[@jwyzdm]

Great paint job "from 10ft away" lol The dinner of some of the greatest captains in history, mac and cheese. What a great channel to watch, keep up the good work. I see 100 subs soon.

[@skullhart]

That outboard well is the ticket. Just need a nice quiet 4 stroke

[@dan711g]

Yes! Back on the water! Got to love that Led Zeppelin t-shirt on Zach!

[@werock1998]

Thanks! You should see the tattoo lol

[@billwilliams9527]

Another good one, at least, thanks to your friend, you got back on the water.

[@RobHaren]

I look forward to Sam’s two videos a week. Is their anything this man can’t do? Sam thanks for the sailing content!

[@sullybiker6520]

Not drill holes in boats.

[@davidroeder5548]

I remember when I first ran aground. Something similar, I decided to try docking by sail only, no engine, I know a lot of people have done it for centuries but... new to man. Luckily it was a sand bar and I was able to get off. Lesson learned: Always pay attention to your depth, even when doing 5 other things 😭

[@werock1998]

Best part is earlier this day sam asked me if I had run around (I haddent yet) and he said "it'll happen sooner or later, you wanna get out of the way" or something along those lines as a joke, well sure enough!

[@Felipe.Portugal]

Love these videos Sam, thank you for sharing your adventures with us. They help to keep a positive attitude in the tough times we are living. Cheers man!

[@hmspain52]

When you said you were going out sailing, I (dumb I know) thought you were somehow going to splash YOUR boat! LOL

[@samholmessailing]

The plans to get it in the water in may

[@stevensaxon8888]

@@samholmessailing Sam what's your thoughts on a endeavor sailboat from the 80's? Looking at a 42' endeavor

[@davidpearson2581]

I was looking at purchasing a Cape Dory 25 in your area recently. I ended up getting a great deal on 1984 Catalina 25 that was ready to sale for $1000. Using the Catalina 25 to learn on a Lake until I am ready to purchase a larger boat for some costal cruising. Learning a lot from your Channel.

[@eldridgerawls4983]

Great to see you at my dock . I have been at Ensigns service for 5 years . new people have come there and Zack is one . Hope we can meet up sometime and maybe go sailing . My boat , a catalina SS 38 is fun to sail. 1982. I will try to find you when I come down in early April.

[@mattrichards3870]

I just bought an American 22 foot. Learning alot from you. Just motoring the patomac in a storm was insane. Can't imagine the ocean. Be careful

[@ShulerBurton]

Check out raspberry pi chart plotter. Add a NMEA interface and GPS and can do all kinds of stuff. Add SDR dongle and can receive sat weather reports. Can use a large HDMI touchscreen monitor or 7 in pi monitor. Several good tutorials on KZbin. Make sure to have duplicates of the final SD card.

[@garysielaff]

The Mac and cheese is really good, however it’s really great when your stoned.

[@anshulgattani2561]

You look super happy! That makes me happy

[@edwin3928ohd]

I dont give a shit about sailing but i love this channel

[@69canarycamaro8]

I’ve never even thought about going on a sailboat but I love this shit.

[@TheBelldiver]

Try using silicone grease for any water tight compression seal.

[@ajwolf3633]

Best subscribe in a long time. Just found this channel 3 days ago and now its my favorite.

[@Chris.from.1950]

Congrats on all your progress, and on getting out sailing! I love your attitude and your style, Sam. Keep on keeping on!

[@deevan2489]

I like your explanations

[@christopherstevenson9737]

You’re a very skilled and clever boat guy sam H. I used the zip tie method in the mast as well. But only you’re smart phone for Navigation? Hmmmm. There was a nice ol’ chart on the wall at the end. Take that down and bring it w you!!

[@brianbarnes7774]

The Pickled Herring is really looking good Sam. I like the acrylic porthole, much better than the glass. Much clearer. As always, nice work. Hello from Delaware.

[@bryonensminger7462]

With those holes going into that plywood you should drill then then fill the holes with thickened epoxy and then redrill them to stop water from seeping in and rotting the ply

[@halibut1249]

Nice cape dory 25, never saw a motor arrangement with an outboard in a compartment like that---but would make repairs easier/portable/less exp too. Good to see you work on those projects. Fyi you could prob unfog the orig port hole glass with some headlight cleaner.

[@werock1998]

I love the convenience of the outboard well, but with the propeller so far from a (frankly undersized) rudder it's hell in reverse

[@davewestner]

I bet that it was great to be back out on the water again....looks like it was! Nice edits in this one. Hope to catch an update on the ETD for the Atlantic passage.

[@GacLaurent]

Great as usual ! congrats and thx Sam !

[@centermid7mb]

Zack gets bit but 'ol Smiling Sam does not feel a thing . . . It looked to be a fine time. Good on ya.

[@gregkostensky8756]

New favorite sailing channel I’ve had my eye on you since your pacific crossing glad to hear your in NC love what you’re turning your channel into will be following closely keep up the good work

[@bradecky]

Enjoy watching your progress & approach to " your world & life ". Concerned that as you re install or install new items , you do not use Butyl tape or anything to seal / waterproof the holes and areas . Rad

[@redwood1957]

Sam thank you

[@franktartan6808]

Thanks Sam. I installed a PVC conduit for the mast wires. It was pretty easy. I used rivets to secure it. FWIW.

[@Bob8091]

"Couple of beers and a Mac n cheese. Maybe that will bring on the wind". Hmmm. Maybe a different kind to what you were thinking.

[@SailingChannels]

It actually did bring the wind though didn’t it?

Very inspiring my friend! Hopefully be sailing around the world in the near future with my best friend. I love your channel and your videos, keep creating great content and stay safe!

[@ForzAvantiVelez]

Xps spray metal parts regularly, seadoo anti corrosive or valvoline... just will stop it siezing

[@koltanweaks6167]

bro i love your videos. you make me wanna learn how to sail lol keep it up man.

[@markevans7693]

Sam, you really need to seal the bare wood that’s in your lockers. Just for preventative maintenance.

[@daneulekowski929]

Sam, have you thought about adding a diesel heater on your boat ? That would be a great episode

[@csafdari]

Foam pool noodles prevent slapping wires inside mast

[@henrymcardle]

Would love to see you paint the whole boat someday!

[@jpizzlether8r176]

Taking a month and a half off work starting May 1st and for some reason one of the things I would like to do most is come intern for Sam

Im lucky to watch Sam, yes,I am.

Yes!

I hope ryobi has given you those tools. They are getting lots of free advertising.

[@samholmessailing]

I wish. Ive been collecting these for the past decade. Ive got like 15 of them lol

[@derekp6636]

Cheeto's mac and cheese is pretty good, that's the same one we like. Food always seems to bring the wind or fish out ;).

[@B.r.i.a.n.1]

You really let us down Sam. Guy gets pinched by a crab while pushing a boat off and NO footage.....hahahaha. JK. Would a been epic I bet.

[@werock1998]

There was quite alot of cursing lol

[@AO-lq9dq]

looks like a great amount of fun! the mac and cheese is unknown to me and my god I need to try it!!!

Its going to blow your mind !

[@fireballz595]

Thumbs up if you think Sam Holmes should make merch.

[@sailingeden9866]

Salt sticks to grease. Instead of using grease try using graphite.

[@jerrysmith3515]

Sam, You seem to find a solution for each problem. It may not be OEM style but you make it work for you. That aside for a moment, since you mounted your engine controls perpendicular to the line of travel it would seem that pushing the control lever to the right would be forward (accelerate) and to the left reverse (accelerate). So what all do you intend to modify or fix on your boat? Btw do you intend to install some heat since you are crossing the Atlantic ocean? Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos very much. Do you intend to sail back to America or sell your boat and then fly back? 🤗⛵

[@sailingbrewer]

I wish I had a single lever control. I don't know why sailboats have split levers.

[@spymaine89]

VERY NICE

[@sailingbrewer]

What model shifter is that. After watching this a 2nd time I think I'm going to get one. It seems like everything is for motor boats

[@leostuntman]

If ya get the chance do a comparison of the 2 Cape Dory’s internal and external Sam. Keep doing it mate 👍

[@tommygunz8692]

I thought you would paint the deck while you were on the hard.....Just curious why you wouldn’t ???.....Boat is looking good.....

[@samholmessailing]

Thanks. I don’t think its necessary at the moment and have other things id rather get done.

[@floridasailor3732]

Does your friends outboard sit in the water all the time? How do you tilt it up with it being in that little outboard well?

[@jims5338]

It looked a lot like the well in my '70 Columbia 28. It can stay down if you're going out again soon, or you can just pull it up and hook it over a 2x4 if you don't want it sitting in the water for a long time. Obviously you can stow it below, as well, but that gets hard on the back!

[@werock1998]

It sits in the water all the time, but I have a cradle I can hook up to the halyard and pull it out to clean it pretty easily

[@jackrichiedei]

Nice video . With all that mac and cheese you won't need a working head. What's your launch date ?

[@tfarr9]

What kinda bike do you bring on your boat

Can you explain the sail reffing ?

How awesome to see you sail. My girl, CD 28 1976 isn’t sail ready. Having a water pump issue. Engine runs great but it’s just not pumping water. Fingers crossed for an easy fix! Cannot wait to take her out!

[@samholmessailing]

Mine was having issues too so i found an aftermarket one to replace it. I still need to rebuild the seals in the old one to have a spare.

Wire-loom behind the engine control panel, looks not so nice. Maybe consider a rewiring.
