Triteia Gets A Brand New Set of Rolly Tasker Sails! Check Out These Beauties!

[@bolo863]

😂😂 These days James often has a big happy goofy smile on his face and it's wonderful to see. It's infectious and I find myself grinning at my phone like an idiot. Keep smiling man!

[@clayfarnet970]

She’s looking good 👍👍👍 Her rowing was priceless.

[@UUBrahman]

Kimberly has a pleasant voice which is a blessing for her partner. Nice.

[@francismontocchio9910]

My heart stopped when you brandished that box cutter!!!

[@JulieWallis1963]

A boat with new sails, in Honolulu, some good company and the sun is shining. You’re living the dream.

[@RoryL83]

I like her. Her energy matches your energy.

[@donnakawana]

Ok , Soo stoked to see new sails on your vessel.. no one more deserving James... Happy for how happy you look mate... Excited for the future journey my friend... Thanks for sharing your life with us and Fare winds an following sea's ✌🏼💗😊❣️

[@illmerica322]

Congrats on the new sponsorship

[@paulthomas2662]

Wow, how cool to get new sails. And Rolly Tasker sails, no less! I met Rolly at the 92 America's Cup in San Diego - what a gent he was. He gave me a poster of the 1987 AC in Fremantle that he had designed, even signed it with a dedication. Still has pride of place framed in my house. I'm sure Rolly would be as 'stoked' as you are if he could see those new sails on Triteia!

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

I met Rolly Tasker when I was a kid in Fremantle after the Parmelia Yacht race.in 1979. I have 2 Rolly Tasker sails on my boat they're awesome.

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

Remember Vincent Vega opening the briefcase and the light came shining on his face from inside? Now we can remember James opening the mains'l bag and the jetty gettin' all shiny, too ... 😄

[@greglynch3662]

Nothing like new quality equipment!

[@MiketheBassMan]

really happy for you, dude. you busted ass to get here, out chasing your dreams and making it happen. you deserve it!

[@captainmike808]

Love having heavy sailcloth and full batons. The sail bags make good laundry bags as well.

SOOOO STOKED on these new sails! I’ve never seen new sails and they smelled so nice - sooo crispy!! So rad :) Oh fiddlesticks Sailor James I cannot wait to hear about how fast these beauties take you and Triteia to your next adventures! Twin Hand thingy !! Ps. Why is rowing a dinghy so tricky. 🦋

[@symphonyfarm2009]

If I ever am in the dumps I am coming back to this video to watch you row that dinghy! ALmost like taking a shot glass of laughing joy!

[@donnakawana]

It's ok it was fun to hear all the giggles as you got farther an farther away.... You made it back I see.... Your giggle is everything... ✌🏼💗😊❣️

[@hoosierpete]

Happy for you, you've taken Triteia a long ways. I remember the video when you bought her, it's amazing how far you've come with her.

[@slingerrr9548]

Hi sailor James, Those new sails look Fabulous! Take care !

[@markgamble7699]

Always lovely to see Kimberly on board helping at all cost… Nice sails James… Smiles from the bluegrass state near Land between the lakes area…

[@JellyRoger_XIII]

Never seen a 'Sails Unboxing' before in my life. Thnx for the vlog, know something new now, lol 😂 Waiting for yar next adventure up the ocean, James. Good luck and stay cool !!🤘🏻

[@liamedwards7702]

Congratulations man the new sails look mint ! Well deserved that's solid of Rolly tasker to do great sail maker helping a great sailor well done

[@87sport]

I put new sail on my boat last year and was just as giddy as you. nothing so nice as unboxing and installing new sails. Trimming will be so much better. cheers, man happy for you.

[@stevev5510]

Ahhhr... You be such a mariner that be regardless of sail cloth, you be be of Stern enough stuff to prevail... Were be the rum!

[@benkanobe7500]

The new sails really look quality!

[@SailorJames]

After putting 6000+ miles on them last year, they are still like new !

[@DadBodMedicNate]

My boat needs new sails too. Can’t wait till that day comes. Really excited for you!

[@jakeroth5809]

Those sails looks nice James on your boat

[@martinrenovales1955]

Happy for you. Enjoy them!1

[@WillN2Go1]

Look great. Can't wait to see them with the Marquesas in the background.

[@sparksandwheels2024]

Top notch sails brother how cool is that! Those things look heavy duty and ready to take on the rest of your journeys!

[@protonneutron9046]

That's great! Can't wait to see them in wind

[@allanhester1391]

Congratulations on your new sails James. There's nothing like crispy new sails! Kimberly has a great sense of humour. Her first time rowing a dinghy reminds me of my first time when I was 10 years old on a lake. I had a very similar experience! AL Vancouver.

[@SailorJames]

😂😂😂

[@machielhoogenes3158]

You will be flying now. Good on you.👌

[@unclesteelbelly]

Those are beautiful

[@Mountainmandean207]

excellent

[@jaybird2299]

That is Awesome🤙🤙

[@ingeebeltoft]

Hi man. Happy for you. I just added new sails on my boat. Much more fun sailing now 😎

[@carlosrosa1965]

Brilliant!!

[@jimdavenport4484]

Congratulations they look GREAT!!!!! 👍

[@dennishively5994]

Those look great

[@edwardfinn4141]

I’m happy for you James, new sails make ya feel Great! Three reefs in the main, impressive!

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys looks fantastic wow new sails, Congratulations keep up the good work love your video , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia

[@CmdrRedGoose]

Congrats on the new sails, so glad for you. Now you can try your passage again and improve it by 3 or 4 days easy.

[@duanedhillon8908]

Perhaps you will be adding some lazy Jack's. Nice sails bro congratulations

[@AXISMEDIATV]

Most awesomeness! Congrats!

[@jonathanbresler6721]

Very nice! Beautifully leathered clew. Webbing is much better than the shackles some use, as you mentioned. Full batten will prevent or at least reduce flogging in calms. Great to have rings on both sides at each luff reef grommet. As mentioned, MacLube will help with the friction, might be worthwhile to go up the mast and scrub the external track with ScotchBrite all the way down. Would be a chance to check the alignment of the sections with each other and to examine the rivets holding the track to the mast. The third reef will be very nice when the wind really picks up. Moving the reef blocks would be good. Might consider placing the blocks on a track. Rowing an inflatable is a nightmare...makes evreryone look like they need practice. Enjoy the sails!

[@daveg4963]

Heck yeah!

[@richardp1522]

James hi from Calgary Canada. Congratulations on your new sails and rudder repair cant wait to see Triteia on her way to the South Pacific and beyond. You certainly deserve your stay in Hawaii although not planned but still seems to have worked out for the best. Fair winds to you.

[@cD-vg5go]

a new toys !!!!

[@unknownpwn428]

Hah. Grats, man. Must be a good feeling.

[@Liberta_BR]

well deserved upgrades man...Im happy for you. Cheers from Hell de Janeiro

[@cornbreadcuban5456]

That is sick!

[@frankbrockhoft3923]

Too funny bro anyway boat looks great from Albuquerque New Mexico peace out.

[@Ramenscooter]

Bombdiggity 🤩

[@alexovnz]

Great!!! I just got new sails made here in New Zealand, and it does hurt the pocket!!! I chose not to have a third reef because if you need the third on might as well have already your Storm Tri sail on. If you use the mail on your third reef, it will likely get damaged beyond repair! Fair winds!!!

[@SailorJames]

Not sure what you are talking about “mail”? But 3 reefs are common and 4th reefs are the same as Storm Trysail not 3rd reefs

[@alexovnz]

@@SailorJames Main, not mail. The Tri Sail is flat and much heavier while the Main is not. If you need the third reef, better set the Tri Sail. Cheers

[@svStargate]

Really nice looking sails!! Instead of getting reef ties, why don’t build a lazy jack? Is a lot of help when sailing short handed…

[@SailorJames]

I will be adding lazy jacks but sail ties are still needed for reef points

[@african7498]

The sail make looks great quality. I was not even aware of RTS. SV Florence and Triteia put them on the map for me. I think I need that cruising chute?

[@SailorJames]

I have put over 8000nm on those sails since this video and they are still like new !!!!

[@mikehrenak1390]

Sweet sails bro air2 s army out

[@Xscrap0042X]

Wow holy crap you're still in the islands!? When you leaving brother? You're not planning on coming over to the Big Island at all are you? I live in Kona.

[@edwardfinn4141]

Don’t how I missed this video James.. Reiterating is looking great with those new sails. Does she actually sail better then with the old sails.?

[@SailorJames]

Oh gosh yes, added maybe 1 to 1.5 knots of speed !

[@vinegar_joe]

silicone spray (aerosol) at home depot for $5/can :::: has worked great for me, doesn't stain, and night and day difference in ease of raising my main sail (and just generally good to have onboard). love full battens and third reef. adding rolly tasker to my resource list. vjoe (alberg 29)

[@CsongradiRobert]

👍👍👍

[@AWBepi]

To the victor goes the spoils.

[@robertboss2581]

Question.... do the sails have to be white or can they be different colors?... also is one color better than others? Thanks in advance.

[@SailorJames]

They can be any color but white helps other boats see you at sea and the reflect heat instead of absorb heat. Storm sails are sometimes bright orange to really stand out in bad conditions

[@vanman3752]

Maui Waui?

[@bidask123]

I never thought there is such a thing as Sail Porn- until now.

[@necrokittie2291]

and with her zooming into the tags, james got doxxed with his full name... no idea if that was already known. XD

[@SailorJames]

Considering I have books published with my full name it’s not a concern 😂
