New Spinnaker, Sailing to NYC

Wow, do I have an amazing grandson, or what? Pop pop would be soooo proud of you!

Never saw the statue lit up like that , good shot . 😉👍👍🇺🇸

[@umpquajohn]

I too did not realize you could anchor so close to Lady Liberty. Nice.

[@daneulekowski929]

Knowing how much more effort goes into Spinnaker sailing, makes sense why they always are so colorful. Really great episode Sam and Zoey.

[@samholmessailing]

Thanks. Lot of set up but they make for good pictures. 📸

[@Uncle_Antnee]

that view of NY at night is just amazing.

[@papataffy]

Watching bit by bit all older videos, great adventure, well documented, thank you!

[@superdoobo]

I loved your LA to Hawaii video where the fish were jumping in to your ship to be eaten!

[@hmspain52]

Steer to the right, steer to the RIGHT! That's about as panic'y as Sam gets LOL.

Good inverted comma/abbreviation mark usage. Though 100% valid and grammatically correct, I've never seen it used in that specific application before. Kind of feels 'piratey' too, for some reason. _Garrr!_ Which is cool, particularly for a sailing video comment board. (I'm stoned, sorry) 😎👌

It's nice to see her under sail with the spinnaker. Looks to be a fun trip.

[@seamasterdiaries5903]

As always, a really enjoyable video. Can't put my finger on it, its just like being there with a friend you've known for years. Thanks very much.

[@samholmessailing]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@mammaholmes]

The spinnaker is so pretty. Thank you, Allen!

[@davidc6510]

Great episode Sam. So good to see you fly the spinnaker that you have. Poor Zoey - such a trooper up to help when she would rather be sharing with the fishes :( Take care and I look forward to the next live stream

[@halibut1249]

Your spinnaker has beautiful colors to it. What a great place to anchor next to Statue of Liberty with a setting sun and all the lights of surrounding NYC & NJ. I think the 79th Street boat basin (Hudson river) has overnight moorings and from there you could explore the Midwest side of Manhattan on foot (when the City's more hospitable). Nice drone shots!!

[@samholmessailing]

Thanks. Maybe ill check that out on my way back down.

[@stevewhite791]

Fantastic Sam. Totally dig the NYC Skyline at night. Bring us your seasick and tired...

[@sammyvh11]

Awesome anchorage in NYC!

[@JebbAdams]

Excellent video Sam Holmes! Great channel! I am one of your tens of thousands of subscribers. Just checking in to say"Hi" from downtown Montreal.

Nice work throwing the drone up at sunset and the statue in the shot. Brilliant timing!!👍🏽⛵️

I've been watching since the trip to Hawaii. Welcome to my hometown!

[@samholmessailing]

Thanks!

[@fredmuellerphotographer4532]

Love it Sam ... Cape Dory 27 owner (Rhode Island YC, Narragansett Bay) so I'm enjoying the CD dna of your videos, as well as your adventuresome and upbeat spirit. They are sturdy dependable boats ...

[@williamallen3715]

Epic NYC shots holy cow.

[@mize30]

Great video loves the night time footage of NY city. Also as always I love the drone footage.

[@littlebustersoysters9229]

If you have a loop in your halyard to clip the spinnaker to you can raise it and still be able to easily get it back down if you lose your sheets.

[@bobhamilton298]

I anchored at the same place back in 1986 during the celebration Statue of Liberty centennial. We lucked into a front row view of the fireworks, along with 30,000 other boats. We anchored close to where you did on the NJ side. Woke up to a view of the Statue out the back. Was awesome! Glad you got to enjoy it.

[@samholmessailing]

Awesome!

[@tomasruiz9140]

Yay!!!! Boston I couldn’t wait until you got here as soon as I heard you were coming

[@kimberlyb5512]

Bad ass views in NYC 👏👏👏 You’re doing an amazing job! And Zoe too 💪💃

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

Nice video! FYI halyard goes on the head, guy and pole goes on the tack, sheet goes on the clew.

[@samholmessailing]

Ahh yes I never remember those

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

@@samholmessailing Your spinnaker sheet and guy should be double the length of your boat

Great stuff as always. Lady Liberty was lookin nice.

The Statue of Liberty lit up like that looks amazing.

[@tomharrell1954]

Great Job Sam and Zoe!!! That was a beautiful sail!!

[@rickwunn2850]

Nice colors on your spinnaker, looks nice

[@mosh2]

Your sailboat infront of the statue of liberty looked awesome.

[@mtmanning67]

great episode. Quick cooking segment was interesting. thanks again :)

[@pejoly2]

You might want to check out Patrick Laine's channel. He started using a spinnaker, solo, quite a bit and seems to have become pretty good with it. He has some interesting ideas on sail configuration. Just got through with the everglades videos, awesome stuff, except those mosquitoes. Hope you are enjoying NE.

[@pbbdmedia]

Sam, been enjoying the videos for a long time. Ever feel like adding a little backstory to your adventures? A little personal narrative to follow? Ex- why are you going? With who? For how long?

[@robert1988420]

An the dates

[@dsabre4990]

Gorgeous views of Lady Liberty and Manhattan. Loved it.

[@thomashendricks9774]

I grew up in NNJ and when I worked in NYC, I would take the train down to Hoboken then either train or ferry across. The two things I loved most was, in the morning the reflection of the sun off the World Trade Center onto the water and the Statue of Liberty at night all light up, it looked surreal against the backdrop. I live up in Syracuse now but I miss that commute aa lot.

[@3941602]

Great drone shots

[@DevonPalmer98]

The final shot of new York was so rad, never knew you could anchor so close

[@sailingavocet]

Great video Sam!

[@gglaw42]

You sailed right my area, Cape May to Atlantic City, cheers!

[@clicgear100]

Awesome. Keep it up.

[@Music-pl8xf]

Your boat is probably bigger than most living spaces in that city.

[@samholmessailing]

My boats pretty small but id rather be living it doing the adventures i am now than working in a city again.

[@Spar19row]

I'm going to Anchor almost exactly in that same spot for July 4th.

[@MrMichaelcurran]

Well, ya finally arrived! My suggestion would be to sail on sailor New York is a very very lonely place these days.

[@kennethzielinski6233]

I envy you. You're doing an item on my bucket list: sail from Sanford, Fl to New York Harbor....👍

[@stephenrichie4646]

Never got that close to the city, but we did sail across the NY shipping lanes at night. (Cape May to Maine). In a fog. Scary when you can hear big vessels but can’t see them!😬 Pretty spinnaker.

[@sailingavocet]

so amazing

[@vinceglauser4770]

i liked the video. that's a different boat than the one you sailed in to hawaii.

[@JohnSpo]

I’ve been on probably 8-10 sailboats including my own and have yet to be on one using a spinnaker. I guess it’s something to still look forward to.

[@samholmessailing]

Theyre fun to mess around with but more of a pain for actually cruising.

[@JohnSpo]

@@samholmessailing they definitely seem like a lot of work which is probably why I've yet to see one in person. I guess nobody wants to be bothered.

[@sjam17]

Nice arial shots! Keep up the good work! 🤙

[@samholmessailing]

Thanks

[@rolfpiotrowski4325]

Hey, Sam! Great pictures, around Liberty! 😃👍 But a spinnaker, to small, doesn´t make too much sense, does it? Hope, you can change it for a bit bigger, but asymmetrical one! Would be easier to handle, but more powerful! And reefing the mainsail could help, to get a clear current on the spinnaker. 💪 Fair winds! 😎👍

[@samholmessailing]

Yeah not much faster than my genoa. Just kind of fun to play with.

[@rolfpiotrowski4325]

@@samholmessailing Yes, I know! The only real difference between small boys and fully grown man is, the toys go more expensive! 😜👍

[@lukaswojtaszek644]

These are my cruising grounds. If you're ever back - let me know!

[@Prof.SchulzeSternberg]

Consider taking down the spinnaker between the mainsail and the boom. No risk of destroying it in the railing.

[@samholmessailing]

Hmm.. my mainsail is not loose footed so i dont think that would work.

[@observer7418]

looks so nice out there

[@sailingavocet]

right?

[@jerrybunger1311]

We anchored behind the Statue of Liberty in Liberty Park. You will love it. Quiet

[@hansjensen7823]

Great video Sam, love the fast pace of your videos. Question- any fear or worry of container ships or other boat traffic in that area? Are you using a cruising guide and if so which one? Thanks!

[@samholmessailing]

Yes I worry about colliding with one when I’m near the shipping lanes. I’m not using a cruising guide.

[@SmuckelOSRS]

pretty sail

[@oceanbnd]

I loved it, that you’re willing to dare anchor near the Statue of Liberty. Tell us what happened there, did you decide to move to be safe? You never stop amazing me. Great to see the spinnaker use, I’d love to see you get a bigger one.

[@n3xu59988]

Hello from Long Island! :D

[@svZia-Switch51]

Get yourself an asymmetrical spinnaker. So much easier to fly and no pole needed.

[@adam8642]

do you require a bow sprit?

[@svZia-Switch51]

adam8642 No. You can fly the tack around the furled headsail using an ATN Tacker or the equivalent.

[@adam8642]

@@svZia-Switch51 thats just marvellous. need one of those

[@clubracer6]

So I guess they let you stay anchored right there eh? Pretty cool, but also a noisy place to sleep with all the helicopters. Surprised there was not way more container ships as you approached the bridge.

[@TheDesertRat31]

Hey man, have a safe trip! I was born on Long Island and my great grandfather has our family name in the Statue of Liberty because they gave some money to the initial build. Glad I can see it from your boat's perspective!

[@andrewrendle1031]

Good video thank you 🙂

[@chrisb7903]
