All you naysayers just worry about your own shit.

Thank you for sharing this Captain Leisure.

Great looking line and sail management and cooking! Thank for sharing. Yuuum! I’d like more personal story like your sailing background, how long you’ve owned tortuga and took to prepare it. It would have made a good story to know how many boats in class and overall etc. Even details like concerns over getting sleep and keeping watch would be good addons. Thanks

I know you are super busy singlehanded, but I would really like to see less description and more actual footage of you running the boat. Raising sails, tacking singlehanded with a cutter rig, reefing, all the huge challenges for solo sailors running a bigger boat. Less experienced sailors (I am one) can really learn a lot from just watching you manage all aspects of the boat. Much appreciated!

You need a big electric fan and a generator so you can blow air on the sail. Put the fan up front and face towards the stern. Would that be legal?

Awesome thanks for sharing for this of us who weren't there.

I've seen your boat in SF bay before. I live in Oakland. One day I hope to be a westsail owner

Good on ya mate .. 👍🏿🇦🇺

What camera do you used to record this video?

No roller furling?

Just so good Captain - what a magic trip! Many thanks for sharing your pleasure :)😃

Great video, lovely boats the Westsails 32, heavy and strong, with a big powerful keel. Thanks so much for sharing.

Beautiful on all counts!

If the vane is over powered arnt you less balanced and the over power pops the fuse .

Great videos true love them! But you might want to move your aft fair lead forward, or add a snatch block on your genoe sheet to improve your sheet angle

great video and great accomplishment! Well done!

Great compilation! I'm in the process of finding a W32, and trying to learn about the pros and cons of their various setups. I noticed that you have a loose-footed staysail. What are the benefits and disadvantages of that mode, compared to having a staysail boom? Thanks!

Always enjoy your videos! I have Mañana #194. Would you ever do an interior tour video? Especially how you set up for offshore single handing.

Great job on the video. Thanks for sharing.

Great video, I enjoyed watching!

Many thanks for sharing. Always a pleasure to follow Tortuga's adventures. Best wishes for fine sailing in 2025! Vikram Misra - Arctic Loon WS32 #77

Exceptional presentation to take us along with you. I hope your pride of accomplishment matches my admiration of your achievement. Thank you and fair seas.

Thanks for sharing the marvelous vlog coming! Inspirational for a WS32 seeker. Cheers!

Great seeing it from your standpoint! Except for the knee, it looks like you had a great time!

Great video record of the race Mr. Tortuga... Are you considering doing the SHTP again in 2025?

Nice boat man... very nice... Im aiming for the 28ft (budget limitations). Nice boat...

Good one. Well done. Done a few Transpacs but not solo

If your cruising it doesn't make much difference if its going 5 6 7 knots.. and 10 knots are only if you've got a catamaran 😊

Solo…yet you continue to use first person plural. Language usage is a funny thing.

And the knee?…

Beautiful sailboat ⛵🌊 thanks for sharing.I m sailor and sailed though the Pacific ocean completely.Breat video , impressed.I wish you a happy sailing

in re. to results at the end, we don't care, just happy to see you get there in one piece.

Nice boat, looks to be in very good repair. An ocean passage in a 32 ft boat averaging 5.7 knots is excellent.👍👍👍👍👍

Appreciate such a fine example of responsible seamanship. Well done sir!

I was on RC for a Flying Scot nationals, and we had ~200 Flying Scots on the line. It was a very aggressive fleet, and two boats collided. One boat almost lost its mast. The other was broadsided and almost lost his shroud.

Exciting! Too bad you had to retire because of low/no winds. Thanks for posting. A couple of questions: Do you have a self tacking staysail? How did you rig it? Noticed you have replaced the yankee with a full genoa. Does the staysail stay interfere with the genoa when tacking? Best wishes, Arctic Loon WS#77

A pox on jet skis.

A fun day on the water. And a good start is always a welcomed vibe!

Is your mainsail cut shorter than the factory sail ( at the foot)? Thanks to share your sailing, good times👍

Good video. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice, too bad about the lack of breeze. Thanks for sharing for those of us who couldn't be there.

Congratulations Captain! It's been a pleasure sailing with you.

Chef

Food looks great. Are you a shef?

pretty nice averave boat speed for a westsail 32. nice job, nice appointed boat.

Inspiring

Wow! 5.78 kt average -- very well done.

Excellent attempt! Bravo Zulu - Arctic Loon WS#77

Great video and great result congratulations! I had a lot of fun watching this your departure from San Fransisco was great. I figured the knee injury took you out of the running but ended up with an excellent result. Liked the editing too made a good story Thanks!

W32 #737 here. Great video full of fond voyaging memories. Thanks!!
