I sailed a laser from king harbor to emerald bay back in 79 , I was young and stupid but I got there fast., half way over I realized that I didn't even bring a bottle of water let alone a rack of banquets.
You guys are awesome! Not many can say they have sailed to Catalina on a tiny sailboat! I'm sorry to hear you sold her though. A great little sea worthy dingy! I hope you get another boat and never quit sailing! Cheers!
Best soundtrack ever! I've got the same boat, an '84 Holder. I would love to sail it to Catalina; but being in NY, I'd say it would take me a while. Great job!
Impressive! I aspire to do something like this one day! I’ve heard local legends of a guy who made the crossing in a jet ski once. I can’t tell if that’s bravery or stupidity at that point
Looks like a blast, I’d give you a thumbs up for the adventure but drinking while boating is not the smartest thing to do even if one is the dedicated skipper, if something happens to him people that have been drinking are now taking charge and are responsible. Don’t mean to be a buzzkill but I’ve see the effects. Keep up the adventures but play safe and when you anchor then party.
I appreciate the concern-you'll see only 3 empty cans in the video because in the 8 hour passage, we had only one beer each. The rest were saved for the landing celebration. That's when we set Jake loose on them :P
Davies launch ramp in Seal/Long Beach. Huntington won't let you leave the harbor without a motor. We got stopped by a Navy dinghy with a machine gun once.
This is how much I know . I didn't even think a boat under 25 ft could sail to Catalina. Great video
There are people sailing boats under 25ft to Hawaii lol

The advantage of sailing such a small boat to Catalina is that you don’t need a dinghy to get ashore 👍
Absolute mad lads. Excellent video

Radical
We take my buddies Catalina 18' to the island every year for the club stag cruise.... Props for doing it on a tiny boat!
You guys saved $75 good job!!!
Awesome guys. Wish I could get a group of dinghy sailers together to sail Dry Tortuga's in Florida. I'm going to do it eventually on my 16footer.
Cool fun music also last few seconds of video is really funny

Thanks! I think a jet ski would be pretty easy on a calm day. At 30 kts, the whole passage would take less than an hour
People go on jetskis all the time

how long did it take to arrive? we're taking out 14' west wight potter!....and a 30 rack of OG coors, good choice
It took about 8 hours-we were sailing close-hauled for a lot of it. West Wight Potters are badass. Have a good trip!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪
Considering doing the same! Was it worth it? Would you do it again? And where did you stay... beach camping?
Lmao respect..
Where did y'all launch from?
Davies launch ramp in Seal/Long Beach. Huntington won't let you leave the harbor without a motor. We got stopped by a Navy dinghy with a machine gun once.
@@michaeljustin6030 Were you guys trying to just leave without a motor? What did the Navy wanted?
Did you stay over night? Long trip for one day
Two nights on the island and then we sailed back. We made the passage in one day (about 8 hours of sailing).
