Yacht Delivery Chronicles : Kauai Bound on a Pacific Seacraft 37 Sailboat (PART 1)

[@jamesduck1069]

I used to sail a Pacific Seacraft 37 around Southern California in the mid-80s. She had a green hull and was named Swea' Pea! Great boat!

[@seanmurphy1348]

Yeah man I’m alittle older than you.(a beat up vet)your definitely inspiring.I’m just looking to get a 30 footer and sail from buffalo to the Caribbean solo and sail into the sunset.

[@chaunceywilliams8405]

Pacific Seacraft boats are built to go through hell. I remember when they first produced the 20-foot world cruiser Flicka. It just blew everyone away. Quite a few Flickas are still around and making blue water voyages. William Crealock was one hell of a designer. Designed the old ( over built ) Columbia boats of the 60s. The Cabo Rico, Clipper Marine and Coronado among others. Thanks for the flashback

[@clayfarnet970]

Beautiful boat. 👍👍👍

[@PittwaterMowingAustralia]

Loved it mate Thanks for taking us along

[@patrickjames1080]

[@dwayneblair2924]

Was jus there last wk..swells werent bad ..beautiful island

[@rikanaka]

Another great video. Congrats to Esteban on the new (old) boat. Those old Pearsons are bullet-proof. I saw that Triton listed on Craigslist and my mind started spinning over all the things I might do on her but I'm on the big, big island and couldn't make it happen. Looking forward to more of your adventure on Kauai and the delivery.

Looks great out there, J.! Cheers from Denver!

[@Kevin-xs6oj]

I love your work! Excellent…,thanks !

[@georgewashington7444]

So cool! Livin the dream. I am sailing a modified Montgomery 17 Cali-Hawaii Summer of 24’ Shakedown in Lake Erie next summer and a PBI-Bimini-Stuart January 24’ M17 S/V Banana Split will be ready….and hopefully me!

[@Pwander208]

Are you still going to make the voyage to Hawaii? That will be an incredible trip in an M17. I'd like to follow along.

It’s awesome watching your channel growth!

[@hulakaiquesinberry4650]

Oh yeah, seeing the Southern Cross aboard in Hawaiʻi is a special moment.

[@barb-9352]

Awesome job!!

[@shortwidgets]

I've found that the gift that is only for you is in travel and pictures and video can't capture it. Filming the stars while underway is basically impossible but that's one of the reasons to go out. I'm retired Coast Guard and the things I've seen at sea are hard to describe or believe.

When 1 cracks, replace all that are hard, unflexible. make a note in the book.

[@edwardfinn4141]

Great episode James. Kudos to you re fixing that fuel leak so quickly. And , Great respect for you re your crossing without your rudder… Did you show us how you fixed your rudder? What episode was it ?

[@stevev5510]

The southern cross... Either means you are far from home, or you are home...

[@mikehrenak1390]

First air2 s army out

[@ajwatson9800]

First

[@mmccartney6579]

Ahoy! I don't know about anybody else, but I would have had to track down that squeaking noise, and nipped that shite in the bud! Cheers! :)

[@SailorJames]

Same same

[@gwyatt18]

@@SailorJames I hear it so loudly on al the vids, but I didn’t even notice it on the water? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@gorgeousgoomer46]

Has Esteban been eating?

[@madcamdisease]

Dude

[@darknoise75]

I really want to learn to sail. Any resources for beginners you know of?

[@SailorJames]

Here is a video I made talking about ways to get on boats and gain experience, kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKfYh5WFr9B8Z6c hope this helps

[@gwyatt18]

Just watch a few KZbin videos (search “sailing basics”), practice in a dingy or Hobie on a lake for a few weeks, and then sail across the Pacific. I’m only half joking. As long as you have a high base-level of common sense, it doesn’t take very much at all to get going.

[@georgewashington7444]

Find a Sunfish/Laser type boat. Sail the heck out of it and sell it to the next noobie! Good Luck!

[@dchiffy]

Thanks god its Diesel and not petrol
