AFTER 4YRS WE ARE GIVING UP ON BEING REAL SAILORS...

[@jamba_d2225]

Once again, all I can say is you guys are amazing, easily the most entertaining sailing channel I have ever watched.

[@jamescarid3448]

Great auto pilot addition; consider carrying a spare belt. Cheers from Canada.

[@fsuersal]

Thanks!

[@tim_bbq1008]

Do what Big Mama says...it makes life a little easier. Love how you guys put some effort into cleaning up the trail on the island. You guys pay-it-forward, thanks for sharing!

[@FreedomRock44]

We are with Big Momma.......Reveal then Sail!!!!!! You have done all that work in port you have to reveal in port and THEN SAIL ON SAILOR!!!!!!

[@keithmcconnell7878]

Stay safe. I look forward to the video every Sunday morning!

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Thanks Keith! We're safe big dawg

[@andrewwatkins1561]

That ending was classic😂 You had me for a few seconds. Because of the realistic lead-in, when Matt said, “ohh, not him”; I didn’t recognize Matt at first with his spoon hand. I love you guys! That was my fav video in 2 years watching❤️

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Thanks Andrew, the pirate is a recurring character and he's always a jerk😆😅

[@marjoriem9227]

😅 great video guys, glad y’all got your automatic steering thingamagigy hehe 😜 hubby & I love your channel p.s loved the ending! We we’re cracking up 😂

[@ernieD]

@@marjoriem9227 DOH!! I thought the "noise" they were hearing was someone stealing their dingy back where it was parked. Was just old Pirate Peet, LOL. Matt, you're bien loco esse;, peace, e.

That's obviously not Matt. It's Conch shell Caspian the saltiest pirate of the cove.

[@derekd1510]

@@junkname9983 Conch Shell Caspian, The Master Thespian? What a character!

[@jamesw9322]

Every time a boat has major work done it needs a “Sea Trail” before you put it back in service, to ensure that everything is working and performing as you hoped it would. Great way to start the week watching Matt put on such a crazy episode.

The best Irish pirate ever, keep it coming guys ,be good and look after yourselves

[@petenicholson1323]

even got the correct pronunciation of 'arse' as we call it this side of the waters

[@Eddie-jr6bs]

Real sailors are the first to anchor watch in a deck chair. Sailing decades now mostly charter: I REQUIRE: windless, dodger, autopilot. (engine and head granted). Just don’t ever point your boat at a rock or lee-shore and nod off. It happens. If you can sync the AP to a chart plotter, it’s better. Then you can set it to a waypoint off shore and the worst that will happen is you drive around in circles off shore if you fall sleep.

[@MVSKOOKUM1]

Good one 👍👍

[@euclidespalitot5879]

Great episode! Matt's antics were really funny. And the food seemed great.

[@GaryJones2012]

We have all waited and waited for you to set sail again, but, no, the grand reveal first please!

[@guyc66]

That was one of your funniest videos to date. The end part was hilarious and had me laughing out loud. Great job on the island boil. See you next Sunday!

[@obieandlaurie]

Merry Christmas you two !

[@stelliform]

Matt, your Cajun accent was spot on. I felt like I was talking to my neighbors. 🤣

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

I used to go to Biloxi to compete in my younger days and that accent always sounded cool to me

[@hanskatalenic7998]

we are not sailing (we have a motor yacht, build in 1993) but we´we been watching your videos from the start (not only once), my wife Inge and I are impressed about your amazing GBU "journey" . We learned a lot from you, and we enjoyed every minute of each video. I´ts a pity you are so far away from us, because we would love to meet you personally and have a beer or lunch with you. Thank you for all this stuff you´ve done. We love you guys. We wish you all the best. Hans and Inge from Germany

[@PGodin54]

LOL, your smiles and laughter are contagious, wishing you both all the best 👍👍😊

[@tomkinney1438]

Congrats on a fun cookout after so much hard work, you certainly deserve it, good luck

I was really worried about you two with that hurricane looked everywhere. I thought you two were probably safety but YOUR NEWLY RENOVATED BOAT I couldn't imagine loosing it. I'm glad you made it! Food looks delicious can't wait to see the finished product! Yes we'll keep tuning in after the reveal because we like you and your funny.

[@Willy007Duke]

Hey man! Love your episodes… Food for thought, a little good, bad and ugly tunes from ole spaghetti western days, to go with your logo?

[@paulbittengle8540]

Big Moma and Crab Leg Carl. The two of you had me laughing and smiling today. Sorry I couldn't make it to the boil. Maybe next time. Love you guys.

[@randallcaldwell4611]

Hi Matt and Kristen! I would suggest you make a fibreglass, removable, watertight cover around all your autopilot parts on your steering tower. Construct a waterproof, see through door, for the the control module. Happy sailing in comfort, knowing you will stay on course and get to your destination when you are doing all the other things needed doing while sailing.😀🇨🇦

[@laurie1838]

Best sailing channel on KZbin! You guys had me laughing five minutes after the vid ended!

[@lodragan]

Save it for the big reveal, Matt.

[@davidrock8465]

Love your channel. Stay safe!

[@MrRicardo8714]

You guys are crazy! Love this video. Enjoy your special meal.

[@arizonarider6998]

When you guys were standing there talking about the auto pilot. It hit me on how nice that cabin is looking . Y’all have came a long way 👍

[@christip20]

Me too! It’s looking like it’s “new”! They did a great job with the veneer.

[@brucefletcher6179]

The CPT is an excellent cockpit AP, for those who want the most dependable unit BUT are willing to manually adjust the controls for sea state management. Increase the gain for more rudder response as the chop or gusts increase, but also increase the steering range to allow more course drift at the same time. Essentially, as you need to alter sail configuration you'll also need to alter the AP settings. It becomes natural after a few sails. You DID buy extra pairs of the shear pins for the clutch and belts at the same time, didn't you? Oh, and the double pulley extra that narrows the belt and increases tooth contact is an excellent addition, especially for those sailing downwind where the pilot works more. Hmmm...a simple but durable AP and a Beta that is the most user-fixable engine on the market - appears you're becoming a sensible cruiser!

[@maritimetees2315]

Great job giving them tips. Your right on point. Love my CPT.

[@mikemoxley9477]

One of your BEST video, loved the ending!

Those of us that have been with you the past few years are ready to get to sea again and see how the auto pilot is working. Thanks again for the fun show. Wishing you red sails at night.

NICE!!!! I’m from Biloxi, MS and we spend all summer on numerous barrier islands here boiling blue crab, crawfish and shrimp just like that. Seeing y’all having a blast brought back some great memories for sure. Love your videos and keep dreaming of finding a $5000 boat like yours! Lol

Great episode! You two always make us LOL. ☺️. Thanks for another great Sunday morning 🇨🇦

[@kathygraff7779]

Very entertaining! I'm from Louisiana where we do back yard boils. A much easier way to boil is take a whole onion and cut in half. Throw the whole head of garlic in. That way you have larger pieces that don't disappear in the boil and is delicious. Matt you absolutely have the Cajun accent down! Love the videos!

[@callmebigpapa]

Does your Dad have KZbin channel for his shenanigans ? Would love to watch that kind of adventure!

I want Kristen to do the grand reveal. You guys have built this up so much we want to see an experience all of your excitement all at once. Then you can go sale it!

[@mikkopekkinen6607]

Greetings from Finland! I've had this Cpt unit now for 4 years. It's a good autopilot but it has it's buts. We have sailed with it from Finland to France with a 33ft boat so it truly works but it is really easily mixed with magnetic influence. I mean it gets bonkers and afterwards it needs a new calibration. And this can happen only if you put a cellphone too close to it. Otherwise its really good for the price and prefer it to Raymarine wheel steering wich is made from plastic and breaks.

[@areople]

You'll love your CPT wheel pilot. I install one on my Pearson 36-2 5 years ago. great company and very helpful. One tip, file the edges on the ring you attach to the wheel. It is sharp! I spent a whole season taking chunks of skin off of my hands. Just rounding the edges made a world of difference.

Nice! Looking forward to the big reveal!!

[@caseyb7242]

Gotta make sure the little lady feels included.... happy spouse happy house 🤣🤣🤣👍

[@gregranbo9113]

I have an older cpt autopilot. Tips on using, The on or first nob sets the amount of course correction. The second knob set the time between course correction. The compass knob can be set anywhere or if you wish match the compass. I use the on button just click on or 1, the second knob at 5 or above. Turn unit on cruise straight as possible for 15 minutes then engage the pulley. its to allow for the compass to catch up. If you set the time two short and the correction to much, your course will be like a snake. If your open ocean then set the time to max to save battery.

[@jhonhayes3410]

Matt I had 3 auto pilots; wheel, quadrant and wind vane. After 30,000 miles I used the wind vane 95 percent of the time and the quadrant when under power. Couldn't keep or get belts for the wheel so just scrapped it. Enjoy the show waiting for the big reveal.

[@TheLucky-we4vr]

Matt at the end 😂😂😂😂Comedy gold. I was already LMAO from the accent during the boil 😂😂😂. Neptune’s Reaper has work to do 😂😂😂

[@kenrandolph6816]

Any time you install something magnetic, i.e. motor, near your compass you need to swing ship and establish a new deviation table and/or re-compensate your compass. Just speaking from experience. When all else fails you still have your compass. Love you guys!

[@synergy90t]

Fun episode guys!!! :) And damn Matty boy has some acting chops! Loved it. Thanks!

[@normandlandry1398]

You two are having too much fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@scable-eq7bp]

Great episode, congrats on the new auto pilot, will be interesting what kinda of feed you give on it. We had a B&G Triton 1 auto pilot in stalled on our Corsair 880 Sport Trimaran. The Triton is basically a computer controlling your boat. This thing uses a 9 Axis gyro for rudder, wind speed, angle, and compass inputs. It also measures heel, roll, and pitch. These give more accurate data for radar overlays on chart plotters, including MARPA tracking of other vehicles.

[@johngafford1302]

Matt got that Cajun dialogue down pretty good! “I dun toll ya so!” 😂👍

[@TR4zest]

You auto pilot looks like 1980s Radio Shack kit - I love it. Having seen several quadrant failures from autopilots, using the wheel seems a smart idea. Not only that, I met my first Irish pirate!

Auto pilot is a game changer....... upgrades passage enjoyment- lessens fatigue underway and makes life so much easier/safer with a light crew- especially single handing. CPT are freaking awesome- simple, proven bullet-proof- parts available. Like ground tackle- always a good idea to get a drive unit overbuilt- higher rating than the weight of your boat. You're stoked!
