We’re FINALLY SAILING! Test Sailing the Seawind 1370- Part 1

[@briancochran8356]

That was a real shake down. No squeaks in those high winds and poiunding waves certainly speaks to Sea Winds strengh and quality of build. You and Terysa can rest assured you will enjoy and be safe in your 1370.

[@sailingrubyrose]

exactly this mate

[@jackblah5842]

How cool is it that you get to experience the 1370 in heavy seas with a professional crew. I know you would never intentionally seek those conditions but it has to feel good knowing exactly how she handles. On all of the onboard footage I found myself wanting a much wider angle shot but great content none the less.

[@johnparker7945]

awesome finally sailing! exciting!

[@WillN2Go1]

This Thursday, I'll be at the factory with another 1370 owner. Hope to say hello. KZbin has this feeling of day dreaming... but sometimes you can go there... meet the people... step into it... step on board.... Then quickly off to Nha Trang where dream becomes reality. My immediate reality today is 70kg of luggage, mostly boat gear.... Cheers

[@kenneysseeamerica5750]

Outstanding. A long, long time coming.

[@jimlofts5433]

well done - remember you are in good company - Lord Nelson used to get seasick for the first week until he got his sea legs

[@maurolimaok]

No good weather makes good sailor. Beautiful first test for the boat.

[@sailingrubyrose]

True dat

[@Seagole]

Awesome very good. I know nights like those. There seems to b a lot of stuff in that river? It's great to see ur new boat stand up to that wx. Sorry I'm not on other platforms.

Congrats N&T... what a feeling. You can see all of the practical design aspects coming into play during this sail.

[@sailingrubyrose]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Centurion04]

What a ride! Both the build process to get here and the shakedown cruise itself. And not a single creak or groan(aside from what I imagine were Nick's continuous groans) during all that, which is hugely impressive.

" I love your boat,.. U made it very well indeed! 👍👍

[@BohemianBeatster]

Nice to see Ruby Rose in the water, finally, but sorry to see you haven't got your sea legs and are feeling a bit sea sick.

[@sailingrubyrose]

Yes, thanks

[@paulwalker5921]

Obviously the jib needs more leach tension - raising the sheet block to the top hole of the clew adjustments and maybe a short strop at the tack. I would love to know your and the Team's observations from the shakedown and are you/they going to make any changes for RR2 based on what you found?

[@JonathanReynolds-jz6rv]

My wife has battled severe motion sickness her entire life. Over the last two years she has been doing acupuncture, mostly because our scuba diving has been off of boats lately and not shore. It has worked so well for her, that this past week we did an offshore cruising class (catamaran) and she felt great and absolutely loved sailing. This is a woman for whom no other remedy was working. Dramamine 0:03 only worked because she was essentially knocked out from it and could not safely dive or sail. Now, we are looking into purchasing a catamaran!

[@davidfisher960]

can you tell me more about the acupuncture? Do it right before a sail? and it last for a number of days?

[@redrum3405]

I always get sick the first day. Every time. But it passes within an hour of um, expelling. Given what others deal with I’m thankful for that

[@larslange5482]

I have to laugh at poor Nick, the only time I was seasick was the first time I crossed the Bass Straight back in 1981 on a DDG destroyer. That was the only and the last time I was sick since on the high seas. Sorry mate😁. Love from Oz.

[@Streamweaver]

Just sending continued good vibes and congratulations on the amazing progress. What a journey.

[@sailingrubyrose]

Thank you so much!!

[@joesrvhome]

Can't wait to see you guys back on the water! ⛵

[@Neilhuny]

Poor Nick; that looked like hard work - for you, not for the boat and everyone else onboard. You have my sympathy.

[@mythos5809]

Amazing. Well now, you and I both suffer motion sickness. Me it is in car, plane, boat, makes no difference.I use travel bands which work miracles for me. Elasticated wrist band with a stud to stimulate a pressure point. Made my love for scuba diving an absolute pleasure (though, to dump a meal at 30 meters depth is great as the fish go crazy!!). Just saying. Looks like you made a good choice of yacht.

[@susanstrickland8988]

Feel better soon. Looks like an excellent adventure.

[@garyag45]

Amazing craft 🦅👍😎🇺🇸

[@greatpix]

I imagine the rest of the crew have frequently been out test sailing and doing delivery of the various models coming out of that factory and that's how they keep their sealegs. Nick, I'm surprised you hadn't managed to keep up on your sailing while in Viet Nam. Even doing some fun day sails on the river might have helped keep you from getting rusty or seasick. Now is the time to correct that so you're ready when RR2 hits the water, the deadline of which is fast approaching.

[@SerbanOprescu]

@mariacancerris Please trust your treatment. Good luck!

[@james419]

Sorry to see you so poorly with the sea sickness after all the anticipation and excitement of the build - seems like you need more practise before they hand over Ruby Rose 2, another good video - Thanks

Glad the boat did so well, sorry you didn’t fair as well. Once you have those sea legs back you’ll be good to go‼️

[@paulwood5803]

Huge sympathy for you being striken with the "mal de mer", never suffered myself in 20 odd years at sea in various vessels big and small, but I have seen so many folk suffer I think I know what it is like. You should get your sea legs back pretty quickly though. Onwards and upwards......

[@rolfsvensson5777]

Smooth sailing and fair wind! Next time? Smile! Did some one say cats are on the water and well the rest in it?

[@jasonmushersee]

it's built so strong when shakedown came you broke down this whole series makes me think about viking ships how they were built to intimidate & smash icebergs

[@AlchemyAles]

Did they (Seawind people) notice anything on the shakedown that will affect future models, such as placement of winches, etc.?

[@scotttan6377]

It'll be bitter sweet when RR2 sails off from Vietnam !

[@markw6586]

Made me seasick just watching the footage lol. Just watched Sailing into Freedom and they are giving away a yacht for free, a chance for the sailor's at heart who cant afford their own. Details in the vlog.

[@jeffreynanney9184]

Exciting to see the beautiful 1370 on the water for the first time. I'm curious about the line boxes behind the winches. From the brief view in the video, they didn't appear deep enough. The crew seemed to be bypassing the box. Does that leave lines all over the sugar scoops?

[@SoundzAlive1]

H i Nick, Contrary to your seasick recovery I have found that if you keep the cool wind in your face, look forward at the horizon and helm the boat it takes your mind off the motion sickness and you are good to go quickly. I suffer from seasickness and have a cat so I speak from experience. What will make you seasick is looking down or out the stern, and going into hulls in rough conditions. Problem occurs when you need to use the head, so I keep looking up until I sit down then close my eyes. I noticed your flexible solar panels and wondered what brand they are? I bought some that output 10% of rating. André in Sydney

[@michaeltca3103]

Hi Nick, we are thinking of ordering a 1370. One particular thing that impressed us is your finding that they are squeak free and solid sounding. This would be a great characteristic, especially considering the horrid noises made by Lagoon and other production builders. Is there any chance you could post video from the inside the hulls while you were bashing into those seas? Would love to take a listen to that if you have the video.

[@sdtok527]

Exciting times! How was the sound while motoring?

[@goin2green]

Amazing!

You did look very tired when putting to sea and in my experience this is a main contribution to seasickness.

I thought Saigon was now called Ho Chi Minh City or it still the former for many visitors??

[@sailingrubyrose]

The locals call it Saigon. Most of the visitors call it Saigon. After 15 months here, it seems to only be called HCM outside of Vietnam

[@geoffreyparkinson3495]

@@sailingrubyrose Thanks for the update - makes sense 👍🇦🇺

[@deerfootnz]

In most countries it's possible to buy an over the counter anti-histamine, promethazine, often branded Phenergan. It's very effective at mitigating seasickness. The side effects are dry mouth and drowsiness, so drink water and take caffeine pills or coffee. After 200,000 miles of yacht deliveries and seasickness this is my preferred product. It's cheap and freely available in most places. I use the lowest dose I can find, usually 10mg every 6-8 hrs for a 100kg male.

not really keen to see that with every sail adjustment crew must snake out from under the hard top to lean over and around for a look at the sail. it seems that the overhead glass does not provide sufficient visibility - at least in those conditions.

What is sea sick? ..21 years on the oggy..never once... My sympathies to you....🙏 I would have thought a monohull would be worse!

any word on th approximate completion of RR2?

[@marcellacruser951]

Not the weak link, Nick. Anyone can lose their sea legs after a year and a half off the water, and that looked like some miserable conditions. I'm sure things will be better with RR2 bc you and Ms. T won't be doing a crazy first out... unless you decide to get crazy. In which case, invest in buckets and some better motion sickness tabs. But I don't take you two for masochists. LOL

Question from a land dwelling person: those black sails, they're not only good looking, but they cut the glare, don't they? With everything being white on a boat, probably glare is a problem.

[@MistaEmPe]

Nice idea but that is no really an issue when you are on the boat. Maybe when you stand next to a extremley well polished boat in the boatyard.

[@jimmychonga9713]

Yes, white decks, sails and even glare off the water can cause vision issues on sunny days. Much like getting snow blind in the winter. It's called photokeratitis. Black sails or sunglasses help😎. ⛵
