Great job on the video, looks like a nice sail and fun time.

Thank you! Almost sinking aside, it was a great trip!

Super video. Brings back a lot of memories. I owned a TI in Brazil. Great fun but a little heavy to pull up to my house alone in the sand even with a trolley. Needed a block and tackle to pull it up my ramp into the veranda.

[@syaoza]

Glad you enjoyed it! Do you still own a TI?

[@manintherubbermask]

Man this is awesome! I live in SoCal and have a TI I’d love to meet some people to sail with if you guys ever got room for an extra boat out there on the water

[@syaoza]

Nice! It'd be awesome to do a TI meetup sometime for all of SoCal!

Excellent! Keep the TI videos coming! How long did it take for the round trip? I took the high speed ferry to Catalina last year..... took a fair bit of time! What was the root cause of the water in the TI? Front hatch? Other?

[@syaoza]

The leak came from the twist-n-seal hatches when we were in rougher seas. Didn't realize it until the hull was pretty much already full

[@seewind]

@@syaoza Understood..... Flooded my TI one time in the 10,000 Islands (FL) ... due to small crack in the hull under the mast step..... bit of excitement.... glad I had my hand bilge pump and was able to beach on a small island and pump out.... some emergency gorilla tape got me home safely.... I tow my TI with my Y ;-)

[@syaoza]

Gorilla tape definitely came in handy on our trip as well!

Fantastic job on the video edit 👍 You woulda needed that beer by the time you got there in the leaky boat 😝 what caused it?

[@syaoza]

The twist-n-seal hatches were the culprit :/

[@markmaxwell2765]

How long was your trip? Were you able to sail more or less of the trip?

[@syaoza]

The morning was pretty light winds on the way there, but after maybe 1.5 hours it picked up and we were cruising. Coming back was pretty solid wind the whole way.
