[@Thebink21]

Your sailing abilities and experience puts you in top 1% of you tube channels. You are the real deal! All respect to you young lady…

[@christip20]

You’re probably the only person that I wouldn’t “assume” was doing a Commercial! 😂❤

[@shanep5121]

Her, Sam and James.

[@livingwitheart]

You are a rare sea bird. Thanks for taking us along.

[@tommaimone6526]

You handle heavy wind so calmly! Love the matter-of-fact attitude. You are an inspiration!!

[@denislamadeleine1181]

Sailing in those conditions and still a huge smile on your face. I Love it!!!

[@benalexander9907]

May god bless you on all your adventures girl. You rock it.

[@contentforcoaches]

Yay Holly! Its like you're flying a new boat! What a great sail!

[@derekdidonato]

Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@moopurce8973]

You be bad Holly, thanks for bringing us along.

[@cutaway7405]

You are The Consumant sailor Holly!.....Love the details you share about points of sail, sea state, and weather conditions. Someone made the excellent comment that You are the Real Deal, we agree!!..... Wishing you many more Excellent Adventures!!❤🎉🙏

[@bryansmith1920]

Holly I have sailed around Britain and the Med I'm a spineless fair-weather sailor, so I love that you giving me a chance to piggyback you on your home Gecko Breeze as you brave the Southern Oceans seas, Your description of your old sail, plus you having crewed a Traditional Sailing Ship, made my thoughts go back, to our forefathers, and them singing, sea shanties to raise worn-out canvas on worn-out masts, to get them Home, Love that which you do May the winds always blow in your favour,

[@anthonybeck2384]

The new main is glamor👏🏻👏🏻

[@brucerhodes8197]

What an absolute game changer! So much more efficient, gonna save you work, time and give you more peace of mind, a win win win!!

[@sailing1stwatch]

Ooh girl you look sunkissed! Definitely looks good on you ❤

[@Tedroy]

You should be talking like a pirate. I'd like that. Haar! Reef that main swabby!

[@murphmurph2124]

Another fine job Holly

[@terrulian]

To be fair to North, sounds like that was an old main. A new main is always a wonderful thing.

[@billhanna8838]

Looking healthy & Happy

[@bobv8219]

Man you sure put smiles across my face wonderful human. 💯🎃😍

[@jarosaw3114]

You are brilliant sailor WOMEN & Bless you

[@alexandersunter4899]

You are one hell of a girl. Keep em coming.

[@rorybellamy2533]

Thanks! for sharing the adventure

[@chuckhillier4153]

Brother-In-Law and nephew just arrived in Tahiti after 10 day sail from Picton New Zealand (southern island). Lower part of the mainsail shredded. New main on our boat, here in Maine, made us a race winner. Whoo hoo! Wrapped up for the winter now though.

[@19Loretta69]

I got surprised that you had a new episode today. Thank you so much for this surprise episode.

[@DBowen-os2cv]

You’re so freaking amazing!!!

[@faelsinnes]

Well you've made it this far. But I'll still watch your videos while u tube adverts allow me to. 😆

[@trippontwowheels]

Yay!

[@danvanderhyde4009]

I have been re-reading Maiden Voyage, by Tania Aebi while watching your progress on KZbin. You do a great job. Sail the Great Lakes someday!

[@RAEckart22]

CHeck out "Into the Light" by Dave & Jaja Martin when you get a chance, pretty good adventure

[@jimg7823]

Thanks for the short

[@jaydubya4727]

A happy surprise from Holly - thanks!! Always great to see you.

[@ericbergdahl6971]

Sam Holmes also got the same brand sails and the OGR is working with this sail maker. Glad to hear that you are really happy with new sails since you had been struggling with the older sails. Be safe.

[@nealchristensen1793]

Amazing video as alway ! Thank you !

[@davidnichols147]

So HAPPY the new main is working well. Thanks for the update.

[@darranpowell6481]

I take some inspiration but you really have inspired me 💪💪☝️

[@jimmaughan1898]

Thanks again. I checked out a vid of using whisker poles, they look mighty handy.

[@OgLid]

Sailing, in a sailing chanel….novel…thank the maker…thank you.😂

[@therealdeal5261]

Just wonderful

[@bernardszirth9665]

Amazing as always!

[@tomas5376]

Glad reefing is much easier! In my tens of thousands miles of sailing, I always reefed as soon as the idea popped into my mind. It’s easy to shake out a reef.⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@deansutherland3570]

I look forward to all your videos . I share them with my sailing friends and even a couple non sailing friends. Everybody likes it . Keep up the good work

[@djmini2numpty141]

how does one so young have so much knowledge, and guts, to sail solo ? cheers, Frank from down under

[@markiamtubing]

Great stuff Holly, I have been following you for some time now and do "so" enjoy your updates. you are truly an inspiration. welcome to Australia!

[@tas32engineering]

New sail will test your rigging & mast. Full wind is better than no wind. Dodger so important with offshore. Good sailing descriptions. Hope your dog vanes are visible.

[@tome584]

You gave me goosebumps it’s so nice to have good wind . In the mid-80s with me and my wife will be selling the laser to leave headlight light wind we flip flip it over and sit on the bottom of the boat and have a beer can I wish I was sailing again but I still have a fatty knees will get her in the water this summer lake Roosevelt keeps sailing with that beautiful smile surfing the waves enjoy. ❤All 🌎P.O.E.🌍

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

New sails are always nice. Jus recently got a boat, came with a new, unused Genoa. Beautiful. The main needed some repairs, done by a loft. Now sets much better and hoists much easier.

[@russelljenkins4660]

Amazing lifestyle I’m trying to pluck up the courage to do this 😅

[@bravofighter]

Thank you to Rolly-Tasker for supporting Holly!!!

[@shanep5121]

You're so awesome. Between you and Sam Holmes, I'm sold on Rolly Tasker! I have some chart books for Maine. Let me know if you want them.

[@brandonpickering9343]

What was the biggest difference that you've noticed between the old and new main sail? And has the new main sail made a difference in your travel speed? I noticed that losing all the slack from the old main has stabilized the boat pretty good.

[@qweenyk1758]

Inspirational sailor.

[@markgallagher1376]

Sounds like your old sail was really worn out. I’m sticking up for North sails a little bit because any new sail is a dream compared to an old worn out sail.

[@deborahdoyle6743]

Roll Tasker is a great company.

[@JRobertson-w1o]

You're so hard working and so sweet. But I wish you had more help.

[@sailingona]

Nice one ⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@OLDFARTRACINGOFR330-vt9bx]

Big fan keep on going enjoy the education of sailing and the places you go Yolo How did you come up with Wind hippie

[@anthonybeck2384]

RESPECT ✊

[@SeattleLifeguard]

If you spray your sail slugs and, when you get a chance to go up, your entire mast track with silicone, your main will douse like an absolute dreeeeam!!

[@sails3538]

A tea candle works great as a lubricant too.

[@rod8823]

Hi Holly (my No.1 youtube channel💗) - 🤔, Looks like it's very nearly time to give your cockpit wood a fresh coat or two - or you'll lose it, like I did 😒

[@maxwolfe7194]

Can you do a short on the autopilot, I seem to have missed that.

[@PhillipThal]

How do u plan your watch schedule? Being a single hander presents challenges and I'm curious whether you alarm wake every 30min orsimilar or simply trust the sea gods to take care of you and the boat while you sleep. Yikes

[@LNM0000]

Sounds like the old sail was a fuckin liability with regards your own safety..Hope you make some good sailbags and stuff of the old goat, it git you a loooong way 😊

[@somyrab]

Demonstrate your Reefing process when conditions are suitable please.

[@romanmuller1078]

Hey cool vidio, thanks. How you make it with sleep on the trip? I am a solo sailer as well and for so long pasages i downt know how to do it.

[@dominictarrsailing]

what sort of reefing setup do you have? do you need to go to the mast to reef? I remember you saying in another video that you like a clear cockpit

[@williesful]

Overall as a guestamit would you say the new sail added much speed to the boat?

[@michaelbishop3701]

Just want to say, WOW, you are fearless. I wish I had the opportunity to do what you do. I am sure, that will never happen. Such is life. I am 68 years old, living on a meager S.S. benefit. My sister, whom I have lived with for over 10 years, just passed away a few weeks ago. The house is going to be sold, which means, I have to find someplace to live in the next 2 months. Yeah, bad place to be at my age. But, I put myself here because I spent the good parts of my life taking care of my grandmother, my mom, and my sister until they passed away. There is no one left but me. Grandparents, parents, 2 brothers, my little sister. Could you or Tish send me the name of the music artists that are used, intermittently, in your videos? That music is so soothing, and it would really help me right now.

[@WindHippieSailing]

Thanks for your comment. It sounds like life is really tough right now. I admire your loyalty and dedication to your family. You've got your priorities straight, but that doesn't make it any easier. I wish you all the luck. Good things don't always happen to good people but it will get better. Kylie Daily is one of the artists I really love that I use in my videos. Gordon Bok's album A Rogue's Gallery of Songs is very sailory and always puts me in a calm mood. I also recommend the album The Sea, that Gambler by Gregory Alan Isakov Lots of love

[@michaelbishop3228]

Thank you. Happy sailing.

[@hugobouckaert1813]

You made it to Australia. Whereabouts are you?

[@doneddy2204]

Nice sail your endorsement carry’s some weight

[@eamonncoady9823]

Rally tasker sails I would not consider any else. Wait till you get a full set like me 😊 they're in a league of their own . I sail in ireland . I'd say the 2026 ggr will be rollys to a man or woman. I've seen the old and the new factories in phuket. I'm old and apparently wise when it comes to sail choice anyway. They know their shit.

[@teapot27]

go Geico

[@shfr1747]

Where are you in Australia Holly, in Perth at all kiwi Sam

[@captvaghunter]

How much life can you do with so little solar? Some sailors have about 250 and some sugest about 800 for a little 30 ft boat like mine to live on it here in Maine

[@johnrathbun2943]

Have you noticed a speed change. It should have raised your sailing speed by a mile or two per hour.

[@chrissimpson4322]

Are you sailing to Tasmania?

[@tamerbulut616]

🇹🇷🇹🇷👍👍

[@oreilly1237878]
