Guys up with your spirits. It seems like you are focusing so much about your destinations. Yes it is natural to focus on the destination. But sailing it is not the destination that is always the most important but the journey. As it is with life. Accept all a trip offers you, ups and downs, and enjoy the ride and bring the spirits higher. I was watching Sailing with Thomas, sailing solo, the other day sailing from Tahiti to Tonga and he was all the time on high spirits and positive enjoying the ride not caring if the trip could take more. Actually loving it if the trip was longer. Sailors in the old days have been sailing without all the technology we have today at all!!! And you are two on board not solo. The boat is safe and sound and none of you have suffered any serious injuries. Don't make it so hard for your selves psychologically. Cheer up.

So he sail on a tack off the wind and ya hat stops the rock and roll and the wearing of top standing rigging. He showed exactly this in his last video .

Guys Regarding your sail selection. 1. twin heads great idea. 2 main halyard attached at the stern, good idea, you are right with twin headsails there is a lot of stress on the mast , all at the top. 3 did you consider running the mainsail with two reefs but Centered tightly amid ships - where it holds little or no wind… … Sheeted tightly amidships in this way, the mainsail balances the force of the two headsails, and takes a lot of strain off of the mast…? Just my thinking…
@neilquigley10309 ай бұрын
Good thought, Ed. But, unless there was reason not to trust the backstay, the halyard run aft wasn't helping - and would have torn out that little cleat if any significant forward masthead pull occurred. The Bro's said they were trying to stop pumping - the only way to do that is with a running backstay attached about 2/3 - 3/4 of the way up the mast. A reefed, centered main, and very tight mainsheet, can offer that protection - essentially the leech of the mainsail and the mainsheet serve as a discontinuous running backstay.

The second storm was 3 days long, with evening peaks of 55kts and monster waves. Nothing like that forecast. We lost the transom steps to a wave and ripped both sails. I was getting very tired by the end from helming as the wind vane or autopilot couldn't cope well with the cross seas and we span out a couple of times. Fun times!

I am just starting into this video and probably should make my comment(s) afterwards but here goes: I was very surprised to see you put that second head'sle up, for down wind sailing the way you did so. Personally I would never unban the whole sail back at the mast. No worries dead down wind in moderate air, but others wise asking to have a sail turn into a 'ball gown' turned sea anchor. Suggestion: when you bag the sail, do it with all the hanks still on the fore stay, bag it up and leave the clew readily accessible to the bag opening, then take all the hanks off and stow her below. The next time setting the sail all the hanks will be stacked in or close to in order. You can hank her up and attach the halyard and sheets before the sail ever comes out of the bag. This is a great way to prep a sail ahead of time in a slowly dying breeze. You can take your time prepping and if you don't set for an hr or two, the sail is not going to go any where or threaten to cause an inadvertent issue. Same for dousing in a freshening breeze where you may want to set it again in a few hrs because the wind died or you bore off etc.... ;)
