This Outremer 51, Archer rocks. The speed and comfort is amazing. You nailed it with the 11 knots and a Easter egg hunt comment. I'm consistently amazed with the kids playing, reading or sleeping while the boat cuts through the ocean at 10 plus knots. I love these passage videos. I know they are rough and seem boring to you but how you guys cope with them is interesting to me. It's also a testament to your skills and commitment to sailing and adventure as a Pacific crossing clearly shows.

A lot of cruisers split the cruising year so both hobbies can be enjoyed. We met many people enjoying the Caribbean and then leaving their boat in Grenada to fly "home" for the summer (or leaving it somewhere in the Med or Tahiti or ...). Hope that helps? Thanks for watching!

Your departure from Isabella brought back wonderful memories of our passage on June 23, 2013. The day is etched in my mind because later that day, while downloading charts over the SSB we learned our first grandson was born! Two hours out of Isabella we passed a pod of whales. We made Hiva Oa in 19 days, sailing wing and wing on our Amel Mango. Our second grandson was born August 30, the day we arrived at Point Venus. We sold the boat in Pittwater, after the fourth granddaughter was born. We met Impi in Nuka Hiva and cruised together for a time. Anna literally saved our dog in Tahiti. Glad you met them. Tempest.

great dad n family show

G'day SV Archer, sailing upwind, at almost 11 knots, you're bloody ripping mate. I reckon your sails are definitely punching the wind. Good on ya! Nice job. Safe passage, best of health, and remember, always enjoy the view. Cheers from Margaret River, Western Australia 🇦🇺!

Well sir, you do indeed a fascinating life aboard your family boat. The CodeD damage will hopefully hold up with your sketchy repairs. Your boys are so self-entertained, it just shows that the beatings & sleep deprivation have worked! Kidding! You and Elizabeth have obviously done a great job of nurturing these lads and the proof is so visible now. I’m hoping that Archer maintains her good behavior and keeps moving along so well.

have seen a few captains in light winds running the code D as an example on the starboard side and the gip on the port side at the same time to just to get a bit extra speed. Just thought i mention it for next to try

Just wondering, do you guys set the autopilot to steer to a wind angle or a waypoint? In the last few years I've mostly used wind angles, the boat sails more efficiently and there's less sail trimming to do. BTW, the O51 is very impressive!

@TheSailingFamily

3 жыл бұрын

We tend to use the heading waypoint as the boat tends to "S" when set to wind. We just keep an eye on the wind and trim constantly. We find it faster overall. We'll use the wind setting when the wind is super shifty, usually near land, to keep boat speed up and avoid over pinching. Both nice features to have!

Yes, the autopilot is n the entire passage. Every minute of it. And at night we can set an AIS alarm, a radar alarm and a wind alarm to try and catch some zzzzz’s. If it’s a stormy kind of night or if an alarm goes off, then we have someone awake at the nav station to monitor things. But really there’s nothing out there. It’s a big big empty ocean.

We approach night shifts like this: If the wind is steady and a safe amount away from our next reefing point, then Seth will sleep with a 20 minute timer at the nav table (we have a passage bed next to it). He'll set the AIS alarm and Radar alarm to go off if something gets within 15 miles, and the Wind alarm if the wind changes. If we are close to other boats, or shore, or if the wind is gusty or squally, then we hold a proper 3 hour watch, waking the next person to come up. It's tough with just the two of us, but we can nap during the day. On this passage, most evenings we over-reefed the boat and had calm conditions, so Seth could nap while on watch. There really is nothing out there.
