Winners Don't Need Engines | S02E32

[@froid7014]

atticus is a born winner, jordan and desiree you are meant to spread happiness and excitement to the world.

[@asraharrison]

Desiree, That comment made me spew diet coke out of my nose... "Hard to find a Virgin in Key West." You guys are awsome. Congrats on winning the yacht race. Nice to see you have some confidence back in Atticus. Fair winds guys!

[@ronniemedlin]

Proud of you guys. I remember watching the anxiety you had sailing in high traffic area off Cancun. When I watched that episode, I thought, "they need do to some racing." You did and it made you a lot more comfortable with boathandling, which is one of the best things to get from racing. Love to see the pride you have for the boat.

[@stevewicht7452]

Great video and story telling. I felt like we were part of the race. Amazing what 2-3 years of continuous refitting can do for a boat's performance. Congratulations.

[@mk500]

You are so generous! What a great first sail you gave to your crew member. She will remember that day for the rest of her life. Congratulations on the win. But you guys just plain win at life!

[@asraharrison]

It's cool to think you guys won the FIRST annual Isla Race! In 20 years, if it becomes some huge event, Atticus will always be the first! That's pretty cool.

[@stbroker1]

Very busy fun day! I love that you won the race! Congratulations!!!

[@dennisp5281]

What an amazing boat and crew!!!! You got this Atticus!!! Glad to be part of your journey!!

[@AlexRCarlson]

Ah man, this is the video I needed to watch today. The whole coronavirus has been such a bummer, and this really lifted my spirits. I'm trying to be patient finding my own boat and I really know we have to find what we want. I'll just know it when I find it. And better yet you'll have the pride to know you won that race from the ground up. From bones to glory, years in the making.

[@ProjectAtticus]

😁⛵ good luck on your boat hunt!!

[@flyingdutchman6984]

Congrats on the well deserved win. I have a handy little inspection camera, also known as borescope or endoscope, that hooks up to my android tablet. It was sent to me in a care package and has become a very welcome addition to my tool kit. It is possible to inspect inside the cooling system and other areas without taking too much apart.

[@MrRourk]

They left the Marina! No Virgins where sacrificed. Congratulations guys. Thanks for the beautiful video.

[@Sharpiesailor31]

Always fun to be in the winners circle. Nicely done. Your boats ketch rig is perfect for engineless maneuvering in tight quarters using the jib and mizzen. I’ve sailed my 31 ft. Sharpie for seventeen years with a similar setup and only use the engine for docking or getting out to open water. Anyway, stay safe and happy travels. Cheers!

[@carlkoytzan6045]

Congratulations and thanks Jordan for getting rid of the hair flop! Cheers

[@Seafariireland]

Hi guys, Thiss has been one of the best utube videos that I have watched. You are so right about remembering that u are on a sail boat and be prepared to be able and confident to sail everywhere at all times. Fit a filter on the water intake and just check it on a regular basis would be my advice! You are both living my dream, I want to head off over the horizon soon, just don’t have things organised yet but watching you guys is the next best thing and your vids are great. Love you both to bits and will become a patron ASAP. Fair sailing and happy days, Captain Ray, Kerry, Ireland.

[@ProjectAtticus]

thanks for watching Ray!! hope to see you out there someday!

[@levidaisyyoung220]

how cool was that... winning the race.. congrats guys... yeah its 2022 right now. im just catching up on your journey.. im loving these places id never get to visit.. the ruins are so fascinating on older videos too.. much 💜from Australia Levi-Daisy 🌸✨🙏

[@chriswatts1412]

It's not that Atticus is small, its that everyone buys huge boats these days. I sailed my family of four all over the Caribbean on a 28 ' Pearson. An allied seawind is a sweet boat, I would love to have one.

[@mercurygm]

I started from episode 1 when you were just looking for boats and narrowed it down. Anyway, I’d be proud not if the boat you bought being nimble, but the love you put in paying off. It’s properly maintained and properly captained with an excellent crew.

[@M-DBarton]

Don't sell Atticus short. She loved kicking her heals up again. Atticus is a true Gem! Congrats on your win.

[@h.v7461]

Desiree: wins comment of the year: “Hard to find a virgin in Key West.” Lmao! Congrats on winning the race. Keep up the great work. Luv your vids.

[@__fraser]

Exactly my thoughts....!!! Haha

[@chriscoast2coast1207]

Dude let's take a moment the boat did what you wanted and performed.You made it happen. You are an awesome sailor. Awesome way to get back in the rig of things. Congrats on your victory 🎉👍!! Happy sails to Belize.Stoked you dig your rig it's totally killer... Sail on to the blue yonder!! Keepn it Real 😎 truth movement ❤️

[@Thomas_Speck]

.. and the appropriate Sailors on the Boat! Congratz Friends and much Love frome Austria!

[@somedaysailor7913]

I think everything you said about the performance of Atticus (in all of your videos) is why Allied Seawinds have the reputation they have versus a Catalina 30's reputation. Congrats on the win!

[@M-DBarton]

We used to sail our Bristol 30 into her slip. Much to the amazement of our neighbors. We thought that it was great practice.

[@offplanetevent]

Check the exhaust system too. A restricted outfolw will cause overheating too. " feel, touch..." the engine when the gauge reads hot, maybe, but doubtful the gauge could be bad or a bad wire (if electronic ) connection will give an incorrect read out. Love the engine philosophy, but you cant sail anywhere without at least a breeze and then there is current. Dude/ dudette y'all have a real treasure. Dont waste any more thought on the size of Atticus. Do with her what she was designed to do and she will grant you more of what I saw in this video... your smiles were much larger than 30 feet.

[@lazyplumber1616]

Im a little late to the party but this guy speaks volumes. Enjoy the good shit!

[@geoffgelow4241]

You two are GREAT! I bet it is a riot, sailing with you two.

[@jetlaggedchef6806]

Congratulations, guys!

[@N93DF]

So very happy for you guys. I was thinking back to your fist video, dingying out to Sea Wolf, to look at her for the first time. To all the hard work and skills gained. To the pride that is souly yours for that win! Congratulations

[@Drozdov77]

Congratulations! It's a big pleasure to watch your videos from Russia. Good luck to you and your boat!

[@CacheCanada]

Not a virgin to be found anywhere! Hahahaha. Congrats on the win. That's awesome. What a moral booster. Scary with the engine overheat. That's gotta be a noise that turns your insides into knots. Good thing Jordan is calm and cool about troubleshooting.

[@robfraley4210]

Unbelievable...!!! 15:15. I certainly Never would have thunk... I have seen other KZbinrs do this and come in Last which was Ahead of where I placed Atticus before the race started. Congratulations 🎉🍾🎈

[@klouism1]

Good job. Atticus may not be the biggest boat but she's lovely. You should be proud of her as you are.⛵

[@jacktaylor1030]

Congratulations to my favorite Bud's on the BIG WIN in ATTICUS!!!! Remove the negativity from your current video, The two of you have so much talent, and don't be down on ATTICUS because of her/ his size. Just remember that sweet little boat has already conquered the Atlantic, and since then you have put a lot of hard work into that boat during the many past years. It will be so fantastic to see you back sailing the Seas and experiencing your dreams with us. My Best Friends daughter went to Belize on her honeymoon, and really loved the place. I really hope you follow your dreams while your still young, Health problems later in life can crush a persons dreams, like mine. I still dream of buying a boat that I can live on during the winter months off the South Florida Coast in the Caribbean. Islands. It would have to be a power boat so I can get back to the states for Doctor stuff every 90 days. I wish good winds and gentle seas to make all your passages safe!!!

[@rmbooker1]

Congratulations guys, well deserved.

[@svhappymondays9123]

Will be glued to your Chanel I was in the grenadier guards in Belize early 80s and hope to return in my own boat from England well done on the race it looked great fun

[@davidinafrica8898]

Well done! Really happy for you guys 👍

[@sailingdawntreader]

Awesome job guys! We were one of the fastest boats from Cape Verde to Brazil because were were able to keep moving in the doldrums and light winds. Never sell the Seawind short!!

[@Landman1]

Awesome win!! Another fantastic episode!! Looking forward to the next one!

[@someAholeComment]

"Let's go to Belize buddy." This made me smile. Fair winds to ya.

[@floydpeters9494]

Good captan, good crew, great Boat. Congratulations!

[@williamcarr1148]

Nice job Atticus!! "Little boat that could" ; )

[@MsStrong30]

Congratulations on your first place finish!

[@OrvilleHarmison]

The Glory of Winning !!! Beautiful pictures of the sunset, wish I could save them for background for my computer but I forgot how to do that.

[@SailingPauHana]

Nice win you two. That’s awesome.

[@jeffmccarthy5976]

Great job, cool under pressure. Admire you two!

[@Mister510]

Remember if you ever need to you can tie your dingy alongside and use it's engine in an emergency, or to get into an anchorage "Uma-style" if you're having engine troubles.

[@petemarcucci7029]

Great boat we love it, and happy sailing

[@betty-loucreamer112]

Congratulations guys! Great job!💞🇨🇦

[@RichardJohnson-mg2eo]

Binge watching your channel. loving it 😊

[@pdbordelon]

The Atticus is awesome!

[@kz4506]

Every time you start the motor look out the back for water flow and consistant pumping , I have the same motor and they are good , we put a intake filter in so you can see the water in the filter , check your impeller as a blade may have sheered and clogging the pipe or blocking the pump , good luck ,

[@henrymauricelandemare9630]

This is great! Congrats Atticus!

[@cfeigel]

Such a cool episode! You guys made my day! Thanks for sharing

[@sailingchannel1173]

It seems like the exact same engine that's in my boat, a Beta BD722 20hp. Great little gem, but what happened to me is that since the oil fill cap and the coolant cap are so close next to each other I ended up putting engine oil in the coolant system. That's not very helpfull in cooling the engine. So i had the same problems you guys described, over heating. Maybe in the past something simular happened with your engine as welk. I suggest to flush the cooling system a couple of times. I have done this and ever since never had a overheating any more. Good luck with your adventures ! Best regards, Frans

[@TheCowpoop]

Great racing. I too have had engine anxieties because with no wind, it's hard to get in and out. I've learn to sail to our mooring but the wind has to be right. Too mush or too little makes it tough. Great video and always fun to watch you two. Can't wait for the next one.

[@claasriese1036]

Congrats guys and Atticus.

[@friarfox]

Congratulations on the win.

[@eatpraybudget]

Proud of you guys.

[@nickgarcia7110]

Congratulations guys. Great job and great video👍

[@unclebob6728]

Best episode ever! Great job, kids!

[@BPratto]

Awesome sailing, just found your channel but that boat is terrific.

[@zerores2005]

Wow, great job! Congratulations!!!

[@toms4123]

Two very nice people.

[@sonoray6771]

Congrats! Love you guys. ✌️😍

[@liberty4175]

Yeahhhh go Atticus !

[@kevinmulvihill3249]

Well done, with the engine issues and the race

[@dane_amsoilguy4962]

Nice win in the regatta. I hope you get the engine figured out. Dane E.

[@cooper123v]

I’m so glad a sailing channel has finally come to the conclusion that engines are auxiliary power and the sails are what drive the boat. Too many channels and boats rely on their engines far too much. Good on ya. There are sailors out there after all.

[@scottwatson2808]

Cooper VonAchen Easy there, do you actually have a relatively heavy displacement boat or a boat at all? Tried sailing in no wind? Tried sailing through narrow passages against wind and tide with no sea room to tack? A reliable engine is an absolute must on any boat, as important on a sailboat as any other. Its nice to sail as much as possible but there are lots of places and times when you cannot

[@bondvagabond42]

My brother and I got our inoculations at a county health office in the ghetto, before we went on a trip to Costa Rica in the rainy season. We got a message while there that they hadn't read our questionnaire, where we said we were actually going to an area with malaria, so they gave us a placebo. We had no alternative but to drink booze and tonics constantly for the quinine, hah. Lookin' fit guys, you are ready for some adventure!

[@TonyAnschutz]

Hey That's pretty cool! Nice to feel comfortable with your boat under sail alone. Easier to do with a small boat. Happy for you both with this change in attitude about your fickle engine

[@snakeplisken4278]

You have a great boat! Well done!

[@seatravel8536]

Awesome video and congrats! You could always view the engine for super tight anchorage and marinas and nothing more if she is that balanced

[@SailSmileReDo]

Congrats and fair winds ))))

[@almath9987]

Thanks guys really good video totally impressed u came first 👍👌👍 had engine problems in the past ended up being a broken off piece of impeller stuck further up in water intake from th last owner. Dont think thats your issue as you removed and checked a lot of the pipes and hoses after the raw water pump but good to note for others.

[@hanssolo4ever]

Great job on the win!

[@dawntreader7079]

nice profile shot at the end, she looks great. with the new hard dodger she looks a lot like the ketch version of the hallberg rassy rasmus. classy!

[@anjongaustrejr3633]

six months in anchor......wowooooh.....congratulation guys.......

[@kz4506]

Also take the caps of the heat exchanger and rod the filter tubes out as they block , there are no hero’s with no motor you need it for power , you need it to get out of trouble , fix it I do thousands of miles a year and can sail into anchorages and out of them. But when the wind changes to blowing into an anchorage try and tack out It not easy ,the under toe pushes you back Fix it good luck

[@chiefcliff]

Wow. Congrats

[@udoburkhart8123]

Wow. Great Episode. Greetings from Germany. 😘

[@Willco5114]

Great Vid! Congrats!

[@53glowe]

I've got to say the obvious...the new dodger is looking awesome. 👍

[@kylecarmody1352]

Congrats 🍾

[@donjvalley]

Perhaps periodic use of the "SeaFlush" system w/Barnacle Buster chemicals might also help. You are exactly right about the engine being the auxiliary propulsion system. James Baldwin (Atom Voyages) sailed from Ft. Lauderdale to China, on a Pearson 28, in the mid-80's on his 2nd circumnavigation, w/o and engine. He was towed thru the Panama Canal by some generous folks. I prefer an A30, for myself. Abandon Comfort sold their HR35 and downsized to a Falmouth 22 Cutter that they got for 10k...

[@jonrumney743]

A additional inlet, would be one easy answer 😎

[@BobLinton]

It's a sailboat that can motor not a motorboat that can sail. Yep, good way of looking at it. Happy Sails!

[@mike2403]

check your thermostat , water pump, clogged hoses for over heating in addition to what you did...i hope this helps you....

[@dpeagles]

I don't know much about boats but you boat seems pretty awesome to me.

[@ronaldjohnson2056]

you are right it is called a sailboat not a motor boat if you want to get some where fast get a motorboat. Happy sailing an relax. Just maybe as fast as you would like but you will get there.

[@jeremygoolsby6744]

Love all your videos! There is another channel, Sailing 2 Canoes that y'all might get along with, KC and Troy are cool and started their cruising life in Key West too.

[@philthefarrier9469]

On some of the other channels, they had trouble with cooling due how the holes in the cooler/ exchanger, lined up. They, had the cooler in pieces many times than found how the two holes in a part had to line up just right. Hope this could help.

[@3ORICUA]

Awesome content guys.

[@johninerie9251]

Awesome vid

[@iainlyall6475]

well done atticus. as for the engine, like you said, pretend it's not there. practise anchoring w/o the motor. pick up your anchor using wind only. if there isn't any wind, well what the heck. sit back and have a drink:-)

[@gregcarpenter8128]

Great job, Captain, crew, and boat! I've often wondered while watching various and sundry sailing videos, why so many motor so much. I mean, they're on sailboats, yet some seem to motor around as much, or more, than they actually sail. I fairly well know it's a rhetorical question. It's just easier to drive a motorboat than it is to sail a sailboat, so human nature dictates they run their sailboat as a motor boat at the least provocation. It's just nice to hear you talk about sailing as a sailor should. At least that's my uncalled for and unqualified opinion!

[@chrisphinney6430]

Ya first place! love your adventures

[@gillduncan499]

I think its fabulous that you guys are showing that you can live and cruise from a small boat - and proving that you don't need to buy new. Atticus' rebuild was uber-comprehensive and shows your combined skills. We did an Atlantic circuit in 2012 on a much bigger boat and now I plan for us going again but this time with our 1972 30-footer. I think you have a little more space than we have (no V-berth) and persuading my Admiral (the wife) that our little boat is ocean-capable is going to be tough but there are real advantages - cost and manageability as starters. Do you have reservations about crossing the Atlantic / Pacific in Atticus? Concerns for me are water and food sufficient for the trip - fuel not so much as our electrical demands are pretty minimal. Any thoughts?

[@joeblow1942]

The Pardeys cruised the world in their two little boats and I’m pretty sure they had no engine.

[@s.v.naniola3170]

Desiree’s comment at 4:45 mins made me laugh and than I realized, that...only in a cruiser world/community would this comment, ever, make any logical sense. Good on you, guys....Great show and congrats on your placement

[@eepyakykswkd2115]

I just want to let Desiree in Jordan know that we truly lovely here in the land down under! ⛵📺⛽❤💜
