Very, very good. I really like the way you presented this. It seems to be a really good solution. Well done and thank you.

Recognized NZ bush within 5 seconds of your intro. Beautiful!. I am currently learning to sail our first family trailer sailer in Queen Charlotte sound, launching from Waikawa Bay. Great video. Thinking of changing my stainless stays to dyneema to make them easier to stow when trailering. Kia ora!

When he said "this creep" it kind of hurt my feelings.

good stuff amigo! always nice to get the word from a real sailor...thanks.

"The knowledge that we lost" If only we had a way to keep the knowledge even after people are dead... like, writing?

I just landed on your channel by accident. I must say I'm enjoying what I'm seeing immensely. Keep making videos.

Thank you! I'm a 55-year sailor but have never had to do this solo before. Seen it done. Forgot the rigging. After about five other CZcams videos full irrelevant and narcissistic crap (all done by millennials, of course), you delivered the goods. Thanks again.

The weight factor , dynema is way lighter than ss .

Thanks !!!

How tight do you make them? How do you keep the mast perfectly upright ? How do you ‘tune’ the mast?

Thanks for the guidance ! I will use all of these tips..

If there were more people filled with honest peaceful common sense like this guy the world would be a better place...

Woooow!!! close call...I'm very new at this and thank you for making it clear that when you hove to you must keep the alarm clock on and sleep with 1 eye open at all times...

this is absolutely priceless lifesaving advice!!! very detailed on point informative instructions... this is a very professional individual. Period!!!!

I wish I can plug a USB cable into this guy and download everything he knows... He is that good at explaining things straight to the meat and potatoes without unnecessary bla, bla, bla and loud music as others... God Bless you Bro and hope you are doing well!!!

That Prusik knot is awesome, I use it for a lot of things.

Thank you. Well done and easy to follow!

A good points mate. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I've been looking at getting up the mast for a while, and looked at a good number of CZcams videos and products online. This is by far the easiest, cost effective and pro way in my view. You earned yourself a subscriber today 👍

Really well done. Thank you!

Genius 🎉 i need to go up my wooden mast regular...oiling etc. ladder is awful 😵‍💫 will sort a pulley system out 4:1 for me tho...i ate all the Vegan pies...😊😂

i watched a channel ...sailing the oceans...where he changed from steel to dax dyneema for his running back stays. i have done the same...it's stronger and will not chaff the sail surface as much...win win...also biggest plus is you can fix or replace anywhere 🎉🏴‍☠️🦜⛵

What about a fat guy? 🤔

I needed someone that I believe knows the best way I should climb my mast and you are that person. So thanks mate, I'll be able to get-on ok now.

This was very nicely done explanation for normal people! Thanks very much and great job.

man I love everything about you man, hope you're doing well~

Very informative, THANKS! Exactly what I needed to know. I might do same on my boat.

Good video but you were out of the sun, so it was really hard to see anything concerning the webbing and how you prepared it.

exxcellent teacher and great subject!

Thank you! I'm brand new to Kombucha and also trying to work out how to brew it on a boat. I loved your hammock! Will definitely do that. Great advice :)

Great video. Instead of the fishermans knot, could you use a bowline instead, or does that move around too much?

Love your work. Great vid and location!

Have you had any issues with Dyneema stretching as the temperature drops? It has a negative temperature coefficient; lengthens as it gets colder.

Excellent explanation! Subscribed!

Hi Ken. I truly enjoyed but most off all admired your attitude towards sailing c.q. voyaging. I am a keen ocean sailor as well, but never went to the pacific. Lots of succes with your new land based adventure. Paul, Belgium, Europe

Nice video!

what a beautiful method to climb, thank you so much Ken!

an even better video! thanks~

amazing video very helpful thank you~

I assume spectrum is the brand name jok

No mention of center of gravity when discussing keels jok

PLEASE do not copy this - this is very out of date technique and dangerous compared to the alternatives. There is no redundancy here and several points of failure that could result in death. At *very* least, have a second prussik safety line onto a *second* halyard, so that you don't fall if a block fails . . mind blowing how few people in the comments notice that there is *zero* redunancy here.

Winter in Picton ,it would be grand they said lol

Mate your vids are the best ,shame your a landy now lol thanks Marty

as a novice idiot sailor, this looks like the easiest, trustworthy system and and best explained, thank you. Question: do you find your "flipping" solar panels work well?

The fastnet race rounds the fastnet rock which is a few miles off county Cork in the republic of Ireland

Great vid in perfect Vista. I spent 2021 new year next bay around .making me home sick

Thanks Ken a great video, I am preparing to rig my Wharram Tiki 38 the same way.

Brilliant hands on experience of extreme value for those wishing to convert to synthetic. Well done and well described! Cheers 👌
