Love you guys! That new spinnaker is gorgeous. Safe travels. ❤

It's a very expensive spinnaker with a hole in it. You have been had.

regards from Sweden

Those parasails are awesome.

Excellent video! Enjoyed the demonstration of launching the new winged spinnaker. It was very informative. We are seriously considering the same sail or something similar for our future 1370.

Like the new sail very much 👍

Always enjoy. Fabio has had challenging experiences. Auto Pilot and then the Rudder and all the other challenges. You’re doing great Fabio. You’d get bored right. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Watching over time and seeing how you have become a pro sailor is heart warming and encouraging

new sail looks beautiful. Your skill in hoisting it for first time is impressive!

Another fantastic episode, guys 🎉🎉🎉 The new spinnaker 🆕 is just beautiful……..and the way you and Fabio put it all together before hoisting and deploying was aaaamazing‼️ Of course the voice over is philosophic and perfect. See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨

What time of year is this footage from? Absolutely beautiful champagne sailing and I love your new kite. That thing is awesome and I have never seen anything like it.

That sail is gorgeous! The set up is so much more complicated than our symmetrical spinnaker. Nice job setting that up for the first time!

Polarized sunglasses are a must for seeing through the water for sure. Great Spinacher,its beautiful. Stay safe y'all. GO Yoda.👍🏻💕🐾🍖

Its great to see you guys again. The parasail looked awesome. A lot of messing around at first but worth the effort. Looking forward to seeing where you go from French Polynesia. Maybe Australia ???? Thanks for sharing

Good video. You make it look easy. Kristin's numbers 180° to 80° is really valuable information. These are great downwind sails. By the time we'd flown ours many many times, we were flying it day and night for multiple days at a time. The only nighttime problem we had was at the beginning of my midnight watch I stood in the center and checked to see if the bottom was level. It wasn't and it was luffing a bit. One of the starboard sheets was working loose on the winch. Easy to sort. I found it nearly impossible to judge the levelness of the bottom of the sail from anywhere but near dead center. We flew a Parasailor many many times last year going from Vietnam to Canada. I was never sure if there was any real difference with the two sheet Oxley, or if the 'box wing' was necessary. I probably just don't know enough. Your sail says Oxley and you have four sheets... What my best guess is, is that the vertical sheets keep the sail pulling more to the CE of the boat than if the only sheets were attached all the way at the back. I like that your sail has no tell tails. I never knew what they were supposed to indicate. Ours were in a line above and below the 'slot'. Sometimes they looked they they were about to point to the slot... but they never did. For the chaff points along the lifeline and the stanchions, we just put a couple of layers of duct tape. Moving the blocks is a better idea. To drop the sail, we eventually learned to keep the working sheet tight, loosen the lazy sheet. Then the sock slides down the working sheet. It seems pretty obvious.... now. Setting it up I figured out some ways to make it more efficient. We had a more vertical bag. Also we attached the clews in the bottom of the bag with Carabiners. This way it was always set up for deployment. (People should heed your 'keep the red line straight advice.) One change I really wanted to make was to make velcro'd flaps down where those clews clip in. Then I would be able to just push the sheets down into the bag attach them to the clews that I would be able to see through the flaps. Then the whole sail can be deployed right out of the bag. (We also attached the clews with dyneema soft shackles. When that stuff is flapping around like crazy, it's best not to have anything bulky or metal flying around. ) All spliced eyes in our four sheets had the core bulge out of the covers. Just seemed to be inadequate. I stuffed them back in and sewed them up. Worked, looked awful, and probably not the best solution. We just stowed all four sheets draped over the life lines and clipped at the front -- more carabiners. (Climbing carabiners are really handy on a boat. Spray the springs and pivots with dry lube. They get stiff in the salt, but with a little lube and exercising them, they return to working normally. ) But we were flying it every few days. One time one of our sheets was under the life line. The sail had a lot of force on it. Seemed an impossible situation. I just went forward with my spare rope. Cleated the end with some slack, reached up and carabiner'd it to the clew. Then I tightened it up on the cleat. Reached up and undid the soft shackle, took out the problem line. Sorted it back through the life lines. It was actually pretty easy. I always keep a couple of spare lines handy. We tried using the parasailor four times with the main sail up. The parasailor went nuts every time. After one of these episodes the other guys were busting my chops over some small thing. So I said, "Maybe our time would be better spent wondering why we've just tried flying our kite with main up when the last three times we did it, it also went nuts." One of the guys stopped and said, "We did?" (I hope whatever I didn't do correctly wasn't too serious -- because I can't remember what it was.) Our sail bag had these clever but fussy clips on top. Annoying. And to secure the bag to the trampoline there were ties. We quickly added carabiners. We always just parked it between the two trampolines, clipped on to the dyneema trampoline ties. No tying, just clipping. Maybe it's better being on one side of the deck. To keep lines from tangling so long as the ends are secure it almost doesn't matter what happens in the middle. I knew hauling in a flopping fish with 100 feet of monofilament piled up all around my feet, that if the hook was in the fish and the other end was still on my ring, so long as I never lifted my feet there would never be a tangle.

WOW you guys are becoming the best sailors!!! I love your new winged spinnaker and its colours! Great sail, well done! Fair 💨's and following 🌊's!

Thanks for sharing! . Drone shots under sail, nerve racking but priceless.

What size luff is your new winged Spinnaker

My wife and I honeymooned on Matinicus. We made friends out there immediately and go back as often as possible. I hope you enjoyed the adventure. Thanks for the video!

Your blogs are wonderful, fun and full of information. I hope to see you next year as I will be heading through the Panama Canal, to Galapagos, and French Polynesia on a boat named Aladdin. The opportunity is a gift. Rhonda Byrd retired CRNA from Rhode Island.

I love how you put your story together...Awesome!

Love it! You guys are awesome

Magical magnificent and truly authentic.

Great video, We hope to go there with our next boat. Just wondering do the sharks ever come close to your dog? or bother him in any way?

@18:54 I really appreciate what you said here. I'm naming my catamaran "Subdivisions" because both hulls will (probably) stay (hopefully) smooshed right up next to one another and are mirror images of one another. F-me if I ever want to live in a cookie cutter neighborhood like that but bless me if my catamaran won't rock the world!!!!! I'm coming!!!!!

Love you guys! That new spinnaker is gorgeous. Safe travels. ❤

Found you guys; because of DELOS. Will follow you guys now. Travel safely.

Wonderful Kristin & Fabio!

When I saw that big crab standing there it looked like the beginning of a horror movie. 😂

Another great video! Always enjoy the vicarious adventure. Enjoyed the commentary on duality. We're having our own adventure next week... a Family road trip to Down East Maine.

It’s really enjoyable for me to watch you guys communicating with locals Crabs barbecue with friends is also great event Kristin prose also sounds very good to me to summarize the chapter 😊

Yoda the Sea Dog........gorgeous :)

Thanks again, for living the dream... It's good to be away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It definitely looks like time is on your side. It's great to see that you're embracing your surroundings and exploring new possibilities. Each day presents a new adventure, a chance to discover hidden gems and make lasting memories. The freedom to chart your own course and savour the beauty of the world around you is truly priceless. Keep sailing forward, enjoying every moment, and letting the winds of opportunity guide your way.

Fabulous ‼️ Love to attend one of these crab feats 🎉🥥🦀🍷 See you next time. 🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨

😀😀👍👍❤❤ Thank you both again for another fun video to watch! Your CZcams "Tribe" all do a wonderful job showing the entire world this amazing beauty on land and under water! Very much looking forward to your next video. Bye for now from Seattle, WA.

I met you guys in Fiji at dinner with Colin. It was great chatting and listening to adventures. Safe travels!

Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. Great to see you again. Glad nothing broke...touch wood

Thank you for another great video! They are increasingly interesting and well made. And your writing is superb!

The beauty and simplicity of nature , no wonder it’s so far away from the majority of us , otherwise it would never survive 🥲🍻

👍🧿

Looks beautiful. Hope all is good and thanks for sharing !

Great episode… The underwater photography was great ! Love your voice overs it’s like listening to poetry.. Thanks for sharing

Good info...🤔

I think that's Sailing SV Womble. He did a cool tour of his seawind 1600 in a collaboration video with Sailing Triteia

I think I'd want to know what caused all 3 of those bolts to snap off like that

You have had the blessings most sailors want...to travel with Delos...the knowledge acquired is priceless.

For people to watch little Nugget...you are Delos Tribe...your trusted and loved..you are family for life.
