  • By far, one of the most incredible sailing experiences from our Aussie Adventure. We sail our 50ft Jeanneau Sun Odyssey Yacht Tucana to Whitehaven Beach, voted the World's BEST BEACH in the world. Situated off the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia, the silica sand is so pure and white, it's almost blinding! This is Boat Life down under. ⛵️

    Goodmorning guys from Melbourne where at present its just 13C but going to make 23C so not as nice as where you are. I was amazed that there were so few vessels at Whitehaven beach as when we were there 4yrs back on boat out of Harvey Bay, there were heaps of boats, a seaplane & heaps of people but I suppose this is the result of COVID so enjoy your freedoms whilst you can & you both certainly look like you are having anabsolute ball. Kristina, you maay like to try Bushman fly & insect repellent as we found it to be the best to give you worry from annoying insect bites. You guys are certainly enjoying yourselves & getting better at sailing all the time. Will be interested in hearing your next plans & hope it will not be a return to everyday life as it was before. Take care & love your videos.

    Being new to sailing a tip for you both when picking up or dropping a mooring line keep your arm out pointing at the line so the Captain can aim for it or avoid it. Same for the anchor if you ever get it hooked upas you are pulling in the line point towards where the anchor chain or line is going till it is vertical while the captain drives forward to get above the object that you looped around with the wind direction changing or are hooked on. Apart from that keep up the content as it is exploring Australia like I would but freedom to travel is not there yet.

  • @charliedeanbott
    @charliedeanbott Před 2 lety +1

    Great work as always guys, sailing tip.... Try "opening the leech" on your mainsail by reducing your boom vang load. Do the same for the Genoa by sliding the deck cars aft a couple of notches.
    Twist is your friend just like those flaps on a plane.
    Henry's leech twist is much better! Have a look at your footage.

    • @KristinasTravels
      @KristinasTravels  Před 2 lety +1

      Ohh interesting observation! I think we were on a different point of sail from Henry as we can point higher. From memory, I believe we were close hauled, hard on the wind 😊

    • @charliedeanbott
      @charliedeanbott Před 2 lety +1

      @@KristinasTravels Reply from the author 😊🙂🤩🥰 Firstly and foremost, only some observations from the small amount of sailing footage. Just my 10 cents worth! You guys are doing great! Most certainly you were on a close hauled course and Henry was broad reaching however the principal remains the same. The twist of the leech on all points of sail will have a large affect in the feel of the helm (weather helm or leehelm). If the boat is tending to round up into the wind when a gust hits perhaps try a little more twist. Might even gain some boat speed as well 😉
      Another technique is to shift the mainsail traveller car to windward and ease the mainsheet. This induces less downward pressure on the boom enabling more natural twist.
      Tell John to think all the back to the Wright bros and their twist wing and how it generated lift and efficiency along with the speed. How does the wing change shape as speed increases? His brain might explode so film it! 🤣

    Hi there. I'm trying to contact the new owner of the small catamaran Jacana2 . Can you find out any contact details for me. I'm interested in being next owner. Thanks.

      Ohhh she’s such a cool boat, we’ve asked our friend if he knows where she ended up, will let you know if he does, I heard a while ago it may have been sold again.
