How we sail across OCEANS | Trade Wind SAILING Setup Ep.109

- The HOLY GRAIL OF OFFSHORE CRUISING is sailing downwind in the trade winds. We have now sailed across 3 oceans using the trade winds. In this short bonus video we will share how we set Florence up to make the most of sailing in the trade winds as we sail west across the Indian Ocean, hundreds of miles offshore and out of sight of land. From setting the spinnaker pole to sail wing on wing, to preventing chafe and reducing roll by using a staysail.
We have been sailing around the world for over 5 years after setting off from England in 2016 on board our 37ft sail boat Florence. Join us as we share the highs and lows of travelling around the world by boat, Sailing offshore across the Oceans and exploring remote locations with our own little tiny house. Boat life out at sea on the ocean and off the grid.

Matt and Amy are the real deal. Their productions are not a (often half naked) performance for the camera, but rather a record of an actual round the world circumnavigation. And that makes them the best sailing channel I watch.
They are. The thing that I particularly like is how they have a solid set of skills and demonstrate seamanship of a high order. Safe and considered.
Everything about this channel is brilliant, probably the one i look forward to most of all.
Me too.
That makes five!

Two Fridays in a row you made my weekend thanks Matt and Amy
Thanks Steve, next friday will be 3 in a row, but then back to once a fortnight, this one is a shorter explanation video :-)
@@SailingYachtFlorence it was a good one I really like your explanation videos like the spinnaker one. I know that they are not as popular as the regular videos but they really help me understand how and why you are doing what you do when I watch the regular videos. They enhance the experience is what I am trying to stay so thanks for making them.
In the absence of new videos from you guys I tried to watch other sailing videos but couldn't for more than few minutes 😁
Once again, beautifully edited and most instructional video. Easily the very best real sailing channel.
Super stoked for the two of you. Best SAILING channel on CZcams.
Perfect explanations....love it !! PFG Sechelt BC
Love the explanation of how the rigging is used, how adjustments are made and the reasons why. Top quality video. Thanks for this.
You two are excellent sailors. Great to follow you. Enjoy
This is all incredibly fascinating to me! I finally got the opportunity to go on a real sailboat last May in Key West and it was hands down, the coolest experience I have ever had on the water! It was a wooden schooner and there were only 9 people on it plus the two crew that took us out. As soon as we got away from the island, the sails went up, and we picked up beautiful winds for our 2 hour sail! We even raced another sailboat and WON! I learned while on the sailing that it is tradition to race other sailboats when you find you are heading the same direction as another you meet on the ocean. Not sure if that's true or not but it was a BLAST! I can't wait for the next opportunity to go sail again! Absolutely loving your channel and your travels. I picked up watching at about Indonesia but I plan to go back to the very beginning and watch all of those too. Such great stuff!
Great, clear, simple but not simplistic little tid bit. Thanks for sharing days and days of perfecting your techniques on the Indian Ocean.

Glad to see you two finally get nice conditions, you deserve it. You certainly paid your dues to get there. Thanks for the video! Sail on! : )
This was great for me who doesn't sail but enjoys following you two. I like to learn and this video gave me exactly that. Thanks.
Great instruction video!! More of this would be nice :)
The message I heard and saw was this sailing was the most fun you've had with your life vests on! Not including next episode, Awesome colors, sails - breathtaking! :¬) Webhead USA
Brilliant. As a sailor starting out, the knowledge you give in your videos helps a lot!!!
Hope all is well.
Happy sailing! 👍
You and UMA are really informative in sailing technique(s)
I definitely look forward to your posts! And these short, informative videos, allow us to see tidbits on how you handle the different conditions!
Until the next one....fair winds!!!!
Great instruction!
A lot of cruising sailors tend to ignore good sail trim - this team appreciates it.
Another great vidio
Just caught wind of this episode, sorry couldn't resist. It's great that you have the time to teach us about the sails all what they do. Thanks and nice see your both well.
Well done, glad the trades are fair. Excellent camera work.
Great video
I really liked your thorough explanation of how to form the Genoa. I'm learning how to sail and that's one of those things I haven't figured out yet.
Really good explanation. I’ve evolved a lot of these measures over time, but hadn’t thought of reefing/flattening and fixing the main. Good idea. As usual, a superb video.
Nice, guys! Keep on with all these very informative content about sails hoist and trimming. And what's best: in real life conditions!
Super excited to see a bonus episode. Once again incredibly informative and entertaining. So refreshing watching a sailing channel that shows actual sailing. You guys rock✌️
Really interesting and I love how you are trying different setups and experimenting.
Also such a very clear & and straightforward explanation together with the 'why we do it'
Would love to see more of these ...
I loved your explanations of how you use the sails. You’re both such good communicators, but you don’t over-do it. Thanks for another great episode. 😊
Thanks for this….we have the same setup and sail wardrobe as you so this was really useful. Learnt lots from it 😊⛵️
Great informative teaching video. Your knowledge founded on years of experience is very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to put all these videos together so that we can join you on your journey.
Good to see the techniques explained so well, thank you! I sailed across the Atlantic a few years ago and agree with all the points you make. New to your channel, subscribed. 👌🏽🎉
Y’all are like…. Awesome
And there was me thinking I was the only one to leave the pole up with preventer lines and lazy jib sheet still in place, well done kids!
You always impress me with all the prep work you do with anticipation of the unforeseen, be it the sails or boat and all they entail or cooking with an eye on tomorrow. It’s been a MO of yours from the beginning and certainly must reduce the anxiety of unfamiliar situations or at least make them more workable, tolerable. Just love the movement of a boat under sail, the rise and fall with a steady wind. Stay safe. Cheers 🥂
This is great background for a non-sailor. I'd love to watch more of these videos from you two! Perhaps covering upwind sailing, the storm jib, light winds .. I'm sure there's more!
