I remember my F-27 sailing herself through the great schooner race with me leaning against the mast. She would bare off, pass at a respectable distance to leeward, then bare up to he original course. The balance of that boat was exceptional. She would heave too under bare pole as I put up the main, then the jib, then sheet in and go. Would heave too under jib while I reefed. Ian, I miss you!

[@djmydlack]

a palpable description! Great feature of the centerboard is that it can be angled back a bit to balance the helm if needed.

I absolutely loved the story-telling, how it accompanies the video PERFECT!!!!

[@djmydlack]

Thank you so much!

[@markwalker7813]

🇦🇼👍229. I never fully understood why Ian stopped selling plans for the TrailerTri. Thanks for sharing footage of this one.

[@djmydlack]

I'm not sure. I do know he was very active emailing and posting in forums, supporting TT720 builders even 20 years on. He was very directly engaged in controlling the quality of his boats (by home-builders or pros)*. On that note, I shudder to think how he might have treated me for the extent that I have modded the original design. *I acquired my boat in 2019 long after Ian had passed.

@@djmydlack I was first introduced to his work when asked to help build an F9A in Burnsville, Mn. This was in the 90's, but by that time Trailertri plans were no longer available. His argument was that the F24 and F25C were better boats, but I also think that his involvement with Corsair may have taken up a lot of his time. I'm still a fan of plywood boats and balsa cored materials would not be my choice if it were my boat. I visited another guy in Mn who was building an F25 using bead and cove cedar strips, like a canoe. The method saved weight because the bead and cove on top and bottom of the strips reduced the amount of epoxy needed, but wasted more wood and time in cutting the profile on each strip. I like the mod you made for the solar panels but have no clue how Ian would have reacted. It doesn't really matter; it's your boat and it has to work for you. I don't think it detracts from the boat's good looks so run with it :)

[@iggi1972]

Nice footage. Amazing what 360° cameras can do!

[@djmydlack]

[@LostYogi]

This is the slowest I have ever been told a story, you should make this into a meditation/hypnosis channel

[@LWJCarroll]

Landlubber here, I thought you have a life preserver on and tied to the yacht as safety in case you fall off it? Though a nice looking yacht with outriggers. Thanks. 😊

[@petersemple4637]

Nice boat , what is it ?

[@RaymondSackenheim]

Brother, where is your jack line?

[@djmydlack]

Complicated. Case of the right tool, wrong situation. Jackline use not without real risk (drown dragging) - worth it for offshore or foul weather on leaners (monohulls.) This trip: in-shore, mid-summer, mild weather, wide multihull. Would rather swim home ( 2nm) alive than dragged.

[@RaymondSackenheim]

@djmydlack watching as you precariously balance yourself as you filmed made me think of the IBM executive who went sailing by himself and all they found was his boat sailing by itself. Do be careful.

[@djmydlack]

@@RaymondSackenheim thank you for your concern

[@wahid-lg1kk]

Walking all over the deck with no tether.

[@djmydlack]

hey thanks for your concern. tether for inshore use isn't a universal practice (I could swim home.) Getting dragged could be worse.

[@wahid-lg1kk]

@djmydlack ya you need a knotted rope abaft hanging in the water when underway, so you can get back up..Anyway where I live you would be shark food before you reached shore swimming 😅

[@XLTraderSoftware]

That boat is gonna sail of without you and you be dead if you slip n fall :(. Don't do that

[@djmydlack]

Thank you for your concern

[@formozinaribeirodecarvalho7046]

Quem me sustenta é deus ??????????

[@voornaam3191]

Yes, go stand there, catch all drag you can, slow her down. What is that man doing? What is he thinking? Bye bye!

[@sail4life]

Sheesh, not everything in life has to be a race.... sometimes you have to take the time to notice, let alone enjoy the magic.

[@djmydlack]

Oh yeah - totally my bad. Very sloppy sailing - a big indulgence on my part. Love hanging off all over like a cheap suit as the phrase goes. Like a drunken, obsessed teen. No, I've lost the race before it's even started.

[@voornaam3191]

@@sail4life Then buy a heavy comfort container monohull. You know them, more energy wasting machines than at home. And water beds, of course. All twenty cabins have two water beds. And two showers a cabin, one for a millionair woman and the other for her billionair husband. That makes sixty shower cells. Just like at home.

[@djmydlack]

@@voornaam3191 yeah that's the ticket!
