Video

This video explains it slow and thoroughly. Thanks!

Waves always look smaller on camera haha

i got started as 1 year old on a 8ft Swedish designed hurricane braker sorm regata race bolid. Did it a whole lot before I turned 6. It's been many decades now, am an old sea wulf

i currently am lost at sea after buying a sail boat this video is very helpful

Very informative channel Jason. Sad that it ended

I bought a small sailboat to learn. Spent $1200 to buy it and put 3-$400 and 20 hrs of my time. Watched every CZcams video that I could before going on. Finally the day came where I could sail it. Wind was 15-18knots and gusty..perfect. Wow what an absolute shitshow. Went out with an experienced sailor and got up to 6-8knots of speed and he said that we’re “cooking”. That’s like a brisk walking speed..I know own a beach catamaran haha

Marina fees $5000? In UK you would pay approx £1200 for 28ft....... BOAT - Break Out Another Tenner 😅😅😅

If it's a smaller boat without an engine, you can use oars instead and then in many states you don't have to pay registration fees since it's non-motorized.

Unless you're planning on sailing in rough seas, I prefer the intimacy a smaller boat offers with the water. You really feel that connection between the tiller and the waves and the wind, whereas a larger boat feels more disconnected. People go sailing for all different reasons and there's nothing wrong with that, but I go sailing to sail.

Stationed in pearl harbor my first sail boat was a hobie cat 16 feet and used that to sail to the big island and the other islands all staying within sight of land. Mostly! Never sailed before and made sure i had lots of floaty things on in case I turtled it or worse. Don’t let the fact that you don’t know anything about sailing deter you from actually doing it. Get a boat and get it wet have fun stay close to shore till you figure it out. You don’t need the name of everything or even how it works. Necessity makes for a quick education.

Learned to sail DECADES ago on the Great Salt Laake (It actually had enough water in it then) I'd go out with several friends and we'd det the tiller for North, open a case of beer, and sail for a couple of hours. We'd then turn about, open another case, and ssil South back to the marina. Young an stupid. It was fun, though, and I haven't sailed since. Maybe next year (without the beer this time)

The Catalina 28 is my favorite in it's size range. The interior is tough to beat.

Ropes on a sailboat are called lines, just FYI. 👍

$200.00 a night in Key West isn’t bad however, if you join a GCYA association you should be able to stay in a guest slip or someone’s slip that is away for much cheaper. Most Yacht Clubs and Marinas across the Gulf Coast should honor your membership with these benefits. I’m in Louisiana but have stayed overnight all along the Coast from Corpus to Pensacola. The last time I was in Gulfport I stayed in someone’s slip that was away and just left $50.00 with the clubhouse.

I looked up your boat on Sailboat data and while I agree it’s rated for costal cruising and not designed for consistent blue water sailing she was built strong enough for you to make it through rough seas if you have sound rigging and sail her properly. Her capsize rating is less than 2 so the risk of an occasional blow shouldn’t keep you from island hopping during sailing season. Shit happens, get lifelines and a drouge and Sail on 🤙🏼

I’ve watched many learn to sail videos and this was by far the best and easiest to understand!!

I think most marina’s require insurance. How do you deal with getting insurance on the boat if you don’t gave much insurance?

I got a completely renovated Bristol 28 with a relatively new 8hp Honda for FREE from a marina in Stamford, Connecticut!

Worked a charm 🎉

That's a pretty great deal. There are mountain bikes that go for more than the all-in cost here.

Love that nautical star sticker you put on the table and with the pillows, beach towels for seat covers😘. I cringed when you were barefoot scraping barnacles I was waiting for a scream. Your wife looked happy after it was cleaned up. Fair winds and following seas. ⛵

What's with the mask, douche?

I want to travel the world without a slave ID AKA passport, what do you think about that?

You make it sound more economical than i expected. Other expenses I’m forseeing…trailer, galley equipment and supplies (if any), compass, wheel/tiller maintenance, mast repair, etc, etc.

Awesome Job. I have the same boat! I was stuck in some 10 footers two days ago for only about 2 hours couldn't imagine through the night. I was lucky the weather causing the surf was much further off shore and so I only had 15kt winds. You guys did great.

Best beginner video I've ever seen! Well laid out and simple to understand.

Sailor Susie was quiet and obedient avoiding mutiny throughout this voyage! We also learned that a ship has "one" master. We understand how difficult it was for Susie to stay quiet for the duration of this trip who was obviously anxious for some "tacking and jibing" under rough weather.

Nicely done, I'll share this with folks before they sail with me.

Yes, it took an age cos of wind , but got it in the end❤

Did you replace that zinc anode in the heat exchanger?

This is cool as a one off and a valuable learning experience but regardless of your S2 being a Coastal Cruiser I recommend you set the boat up properly for this type of sailing. You need a storm Jib, Tow Line, Life Lines, Lazy Jacks, and a swim platform with ladder. You also need to add a fixed Solar Panel you don’t want to rely on an electric bilge pump with low battery alarms going off. You also need a check list for harsh conditions and know when to sail off a bit. You can always fire up the motor to make up time. I’m not far from you in SWLA. I routinely race the Harvest Moon Regatta and coastal cruise between Louisiana, Houston and Corpus and the GOM can get hairy when the weather isn’t optimal. Your S2 is a well built boat you just need to prepare her and yourselves for the conditions. Knowledge, Preparation and experience lead to confidence 🤙🏼.

FYI, at 6:40 you have port and starboard tack on the wrong sides. Important not to get that mixed up!

Thanks, nice stuff, just plain old sailing, no lifestyle mirage presented.

Great video, very helpful.

Great video! Susie, can you link your adorable suit too please? 😍

Hey Jason - you haven’t posted in a while so just checking in. We just moved our 28’ boat from New England to the Galveston area. My question is how do you sail in this heat!? I’m dying!

A huge step up in size from the 26, it seems. That 10 ft beam appears to make quite the difference.

Love this channel esp for the cost breakdowns. Native Floridian, always thought sail boats were for rich snobby types. Learning it need not be so. I’d like to get into this. Its a money hole I know but so are a motorcycles and I’ve happily spent a ton on those the last 20 years or so.

Great video!

Good teaching..I'll need to watch this one again.. great learning..

no new videos? still got it?

The soup looks sooooo delicious. Love your channel

Appreciate you. Thanks for your time 😊

hey quick question! were you steering with the rudder while you were motoring with the outboard instead of steering with the outboard? does that work?

Q: after spending all the money etc...and you have the sense of ownership.. is it possible to just rent a boat that already has all the stuff done..then turn it back in when you're through? Kinda like renting a condo in Florida for a week or 2..after you're through..it's their upkeep etc..and hurricane..water heater etc.. All this is void if you just WANT to own a boat etc.. Just curious.. Thx..Good info..

There are clear waters in Michigan. The Torch River looks like the Bahamas thanks to evasive muscles.

How I got started: -bought a cheap 20 footer trailer sailer. -watched youtube -Quickly got tired of having to step the mast every damn time and the boat sitting interestingly on the trailer. -remeberes I don't own a house to park it at. -found out marinas are stupid expensive -found out the process to get insurance is stupid expensive -the actually insurance isn't that expensive -found out storage near the water is expensive ish -???? -no profit -its been sitting in storage 1.5 hours away from water for the past 8 months -anyone want a super affordable 20' trailer sailer? They're so cheap!

Haha, yeah, I recognize Dunedin marina. I'm in there too. Where the heck did you find a dinghy for $150? Lol

Interesting
