    I love your videos. I'm a professional cinematographer and an ASPIRING small sailboat wannabe. I have friends that sail the world but what you do is more appealing to me. I'm was raised just outside of Yosemite and still live here. I've got friends that sail the world but I don't think I'd ever fall in love with that. The way you sail small waters and share it with us is awesome. And the way you're raising your kids is what this country needs more. PM me if you want to, I'd love to BS more about camera stuff or small sailboat stuff. Well done.

    Thank you! I’m definitely an amateur videographer but I really enjoy it and aspire to improve. I have never sailed the world but I’ve definitely fallen in love with the small sailboat lifestyle and it allows me to have grand adventures and also live in the woods that I grew up in.

    Great video. Thanks for the memory. I’m 78 years old and sailed a Newport 16 in the late 70’s at lake Murray ,outside Columbia SC. Red hull, similar rigging and had a Sears kicker . Sailed the lake and Atlantic at Edisto Island sc, put in at Helena Sound. Fun rolling in with the tide. Hope you and family enjoy your adventures. I’ll look for more. Oh! Named. “ANY DAY”

    i think its shape of the hull on newport that will make it faster less drag more rounded ,the potter has chines on bottom bigger area more drag but less heal more stable ,loved the skateboarding you guys have many talents, accrued by not sitting watching television for hours on end everyday

    I think you’re right, the Newport has a much smoother wetted surface! We may try a larger headsail on Johnny’s boat to give him more power , because on paper they are supposed to have very similar hull speeds! It will be fun to see if it helps. And thank you for the compliments!!!

    G'day from Australia. You should get an raymarine tiller pilot to steer for you and freeing yourselfe up to do other things. Its like having another crew member on board. I have an 24 ft sailing boat and on my owen 100% of the time. Port Stephens, New South Wales, Gerard.

    Absolutely. I used dyneema rigging with colligo terminals. Colligo makes all sorts of terminals to fit existing chain plates and make it very easy to rig. I used a Brummell lock splice on the dyneema and used lashings to go around the fittings for adjustments instead of turnbuckles. Way lighter and stronger than stainless steel. Definitely check out the colligo website as they have specs on everything

    Hello! Found your channel and have enjoyed your last two episodes! Beautiful country out there, from an east coast sailer. Question, how do you all feel about the Honda vs. the Yamaha? I've had a Honda and currently a Suzuki 2.5. I've a friend who says he'll own nothing but a Yamaha... but he's mostly talking bigger engines. Thanks for your thoughts and well done with the great family time - R

    Hey there! Thanks for watching! As far as outboards go I think both Honda and Yamaha are great engines and should last a very long time if taken care of. In my opinion if weight savings is very important then the Honda is better cause it is a bit lighter but I went with the Yamaha because it has features like neutral/ forward shift lever, water cooled, controls on tiller, and being a bit quieter . I haven’t had it very long but I really like it so far.
