i believe when letting the jib out if you go around the left side of the manual winch you can run over to the electric winch and use that. i think it will clear the helm. basically you use the manual winch like a block to get to the electric winch.

Great job. Information like that helps folks understand what it takes to sail a boat. Stay safe. Until our adventures cross, fair winds and full sails ⛵

I can now see why newer boats have their lines go directly into stowage bins under the deck.

My family and I will be sailing a 40 ft cat in BVI next year! So watching this will really help me! Thanks for the detailed info!!

Hi Douglas, we are glad this video helped a little 😊 that is awesome that you are going out there we cant wait to be in the BVI next year too. thanks for watching

I like you guys a lot! You do things at a relaxed pace and you give instructions in an easy way to understand. All things depending, a catamaran could, very possibly, be my "Mid-life crisis car"!

I'm definitely feeling appreciated for the sailing class in your catamaran, it was very informative and easy going, makes me daydreaming (about my own adventure wish) would it be nicer if, your ability could give us more sailing classes and the use of the "navigation system"installed in the control panel of your boat, as well as more of the pulleys ,and names!. I'm exited to follow your channel, don't you ever change!!!

Andrea I thank you for your new videos on sailing, just little things I enjoyed , don’t stop with these keep them coming. Thank you 🇦🇺

Wow great video !! Thanks for the free training class !! Well done Andrea ,is nice to see that you are learning a lot with the help of the great Captain Alejo on your side . Please be safe !!!! Thanks

Here is a tip I learned from some sailor racers. You do not need to turn the boat into the wind necessarily as long as you fix the boom so the sail is into the wind. That way, you can keep moving, especially is a precarious situation. I've been sailing for almost 30-years and did not see this. Go figure !!

I already know someone is going to critique this video. I've been telling you guys for awhile that Andrea needs to start "manning" the helm and sheets so you guys can start the longer passages soon (circumnavigate 😉). Hopefully the first mate is doing it much more as you are heading north out of cyclone season. Great job Andrea! And I know Alejo will teach you well in all the practical applications you both learned in the classes. He is a competent sailor and he is much more confident after going to and through the Caribbean. Maybe by the time you guys head back down this Autumn you can decide to do the canal and into the Pacific Southwest 👍. Much love ❤️🤙

by the way, the word you are looking for @ 5:12 is "LAZY JACKS", they hold up the side covers of the boom cover, and guide the sail down when lowering (so it doesn't obstruct the deck or get overboard!!).

I have a new generic catamaran and/or trimaran hull design which i've call the ARC hull design. It is new/novel and therefore patentable. The hull is asymmetric. Though, for description purposes, it could be described as a variant of a conventional symmetric and a conventional asymmetric hull shape. Since, its shape is symmetrical above the waterline and asymmetrical below the waterline, the result of extending existing lines of a conventional symmetric hull at and below the waterline. This catamaran and/or trimaran hullshape is suitable for a range of craft from SAILING to small and medium POWER craft. SAILING: The hull's benefits for a sailing catamaran or trimaran are; *speed *pointing ability - VMG *no necessity for of dagger or centreboard *simple, flat panel design lines, ease of manufacture. POWER CRAFT: Benefits of an symmetrical hull shape without the negative characteristics such as; *speed of asymmetric shape *more balanced reaction to waves - less broaching *banks in turns To anyone with interest, designer or those wanting to make their own ply/epoxy boat. Cheers

Careful with using the engine with not enough load on them, especially if they are diesel. Not enough load will wet stack the engine and cause more wear and tear. Wet stacking is the formation of carbon due to unburned fuel.

Electricians don't wind their cords around their arm like that. Only DIY noobs do that. We wind it exactly like you're winding your line. Except we put a little twist with each loop to relax the tension, or the extension cord will want to naturally twist like a figure 8.

What stove top is in your boat? I need get one?

How much difference is there between monohull and multi-hull sailing? Have some experience on Lido 14s, Shield 30's, and a '78 Catalina 27; know enough to be dangerous so, I've much more to learn obviously once I were to return to the coast from deepest inlandia.

Electricians and tradesmen don’t roll up cable or rope using their elbow either. Homeowners do that. It’s a bad practice because it puts more kinks in line and creates memory. FYI

what nav system are you looking at

8:35. I know this is late, but I tell my music students re: packing up any electrical leads, “don’t do it like a sailor ok? These aren’t ropes- they’re electrical wires, if you wind them around your elbow like a sailor, you’ll snap all the wiring inside.” So I found your ‘we’re not electricians, don’t do it like this’ comment triggering. That’s the LAST thing an electrician would do.

i thought all the rocks were under water. How did pre radar/gps sailers even make it anywhere with all them rocks?
