Fresh Sails on Tardis - Santa Cruz 33
Просмотров 903 месяца назад
New sail day on the Tardis, a Santa Cruz 33. A fresh mainsail and j3 built in South Africa and designed in Santa Cruz. Vince and I took the boat out for a quick trip in Monterey to check to confirm the fitment of the new sails. They passed the test. Look for Tardis on the water on their channel as well, Sailing Tardis.
Sailing from Hawaii to California Singlehanded - Wilderness 30 Domino
Просмотров 58 тыс.4 месяца назад
After participating in the 2024 Pacific Cup in the double handed division, instead of shipping the boat home on a trailer like the rest of the smaller boats, I sailed home solo. Domino is a Wilderness 30 built in Santa Cruz in 1985, she’s got some miles on her already, but got the job done. The trip took 20 days, by far the longest time I have ever spent solo.

    Excellent control of the video! Single hand sailing while filming is pushing multitasking to the limit. However, you weren't doing much, if any tacking. A perfect boat for single handing in "The Big Water." My sailing was in "The Little Big Water", otherwise known as the Salish Sea, Puget Sound, Washington on an Aurora 21, "Little Brother". 30' looks a lot better for this trip. Good Winds! Thanks for posting your excellent video.

    Austin, My friends and I met your dad in Lahaina, sometime before you guys brought the boat back. We were in college and Covid was just about to hit in Hawaii. We pulled up to the mooring field just after dark, and he pulled up to us with his tender and gave us a ride in. Loved him right away. We bought him a beer at down the hatch as a thank you, but he ended up buying more for us than we bought for him! He proceeded to also fix our motor and give us unlimited use of his dingy. What a legend! At some point I think he even offered to give us the boat! Hope you are all well!

    If you're willing to sail back from Hawaii, you can buy a great boat for cheap in Hawaii. Everyone wants to sail to Hawaii, but no one wants to sail back. From Hawaii, you have to go straight north until you are even with the Oregon coast. Then, you can head east toward the mainland. I would have paid you to bring back a nice sailboat to Redondo Beach, CA.

      The fridge/freezer unit was an off the shelf 12v model. A bit to much saltwater exposure it seems got to the compressor

    • @stanleybest8833
      @stanleybest8833 3 месяца назад

      @@Austin_Book The compressor is completely sealed and it's an elevated technology called DC refrigeration. It has a 3 pin connector. What can get damaged is running it on MAX mode ( premature wear ) or the supporting circuitry can go bad. For that, I'd replace/ substitute it. A typical Chinese fridge is rated to last 15,000 hours on ECO mode.
