I have binged watched your content since discovering it. I will say my wife isn’t a fan. She keeps saying your giving me bad ideas and teaching me how to pull them off. Keep this stuff coming please!
I just got a catalina capri 16 with a trailer and brand new main sail for $750. Time to learn how to sail 😂
Honestly, if you’re a real beginner at sailing , I suggest to buy a small used cheap sailboat 22-24 ft and learn the ropes of sailing first then with that experience you can transpose it on a bigger boat in a safely manner . i’ve seen in my years of sailing and trips so many newbies not having the experience on a large boat getting in trouble . It’s the same as when you learned to drive a car easier to drive and park a small car than a big truck ! Need to learn to walk before learning to run …
Conversely, it might be an idea to include what isn't needed onboard.
The section on sleep amused me as, on my last voyage I learned I could sleep in the fore berth whilst underway with my legs leaving the mattress as we came off every wave. I was also thrown bodily from the settee in the saloon. Woke up in the air and managed to land on my feet and holding onto the galley rail!
As far as dockage I've never understood why some folks will come in full speed the put it in reverse when they get in or vise versa course it changed with wind and tide where you'll need a little more power. I forget who says this but I love the saying "Don't come in faster than your willing to hit something"
Oops. Too late I already registered my first boat a Hunter 23. I got it with the trailer for two grand.
Still don’t understand why your subscriber count is so low. The information given is outstanding and invaluable. I’d say this might be the most underrated channel in the YT sailing community.
I always give my brother a thumbs up and a comment. I want to see you doing well! Hang in there, Tim.
Hey Tim, we're currently in the process of buying a live-aboard, mainly due to the inspiration and info learned by watching Lady K and a few others. One thing I would have found VERY helpful, would be an explanation of some of the stats at Sailboat data, such as Comfort ratio, capsize formula, S3, and such. We looked closely to compare boats, but really assumed what they meant. That would be so cool! Thanks so much for all you do!
Hi Tim. I liked this video. I felt like it was taken from our talk. We were looking at a C380 but, after talking to you we are looking at the C42. There are a lot more of them for sale than the C380.
A depth gage comes in handy. Orcas probably don't like loud noises underwaterif they're a worry.
I watched all your content and now I’m a proud Pearson 40 owner. This vessel really checked boxes and is my new liveaboard.
You make a good point about keel depth. I've been thinking I want a shallow keel for less stress in the Caribbean but I probably want better stability everywhere else...
Hi Tim - I just bought a 38' Ericson and it seems that there is a significant gap in videos out there that talk about those few months after buying a boat. This video is a good example of what pops up on a search on "what to do after buying a sailboat." It's mostly what to do BEFORE buying a boat. But, now that I've bought a boat, I find that there are a number of things I think I should do just to provide myself a baseline: 1) thorough bottom job (currently being done,) 2) a thorough engine maintenance (e.g., oil, transmission, fuel filters, etc., including perhaps a compression check, and so on,) 3) ...and then I get a little stuck. On my boat, I need to add a dinghy, a life raft, and some basic accessories (e.g., I'll run jack lines on my boat.)
"I always need reverse but, that's my goal".
GREAT stuff as always!!
Oh boy I’m so wanting to get into sailing. I’m a overlanding guy wanting to get overseas under my belt now. This gives me a good starting point on which direction to start thank you.
It would be nice to have a video fairly soon on how much of this is applicable to motor yachts. It would also be nice to have side comments for motor yacht buyers
Great information!!!
