Hi🤚

Man! I really miss your content! Question: When you moved you batteries to the front. Where do you run the power cables? Thanks!

You don’t look 76. Stay healthy

Great channel. North of the 49th we have to have two hose clamps on either end of through-hull fittings.

Thanks for this, sky'd my jib this weekend. Hadn't thought about a messenger line glad I saw this 👍

I have a 1997 Capri, my fuel locker is sealed off, my traveler is in the way in the cockpit, yet it works very well, and my scuppers are fantastic, I did have a heck of a time finding replacements though.

Hi Jim...I just started watching your videos and am saddened to see you sold your Catalina 22. I am in the processing of selling my sailboat mainly because I need a break from it. Thank you for showing me what fun can be had on a small sailboat. How knows...after a year or two without sailboat, maybe I'll venture to buy a used Catalina 22. Good luck in your future boating adventures.

I thought lifelines were meant to keep you ON the boat. Love the Maslow reference.

Hello Jim. I've watched your video with great interest. It's fantastically clear and absorbent. For a long time, I've been dreaming of obtaining my own 22' - 24' sailboat. But, because I do not have any sailing experience, my friend told me that I should start only with the dinghy, something like Laser. However for me it'd take some long learning curve perhaps. What I really wanted is to have a boat which I could spend some time on, learning rigging directly on it and, occasionally, bringing it out of the harbor. And your video just shows that such size boat as yours, apparently, can be handled single-handedly in a mild weather condition. I'd really value your opinion and looking forward to it! Thanks again! Kirill

Thanks Jim! Nice video.

So funny (comment about being under the house fixing plumbing)!

I leave the keel cable loose and get no hum

Great helpful video ty

My tell tale stopped peeing but the motor is not overheating. Have you had to clear your tell tale? If do how and how often?

Lovely motor. I use mine on a 27 Albin Vega. I got the long shaft and I regret not getting an extra long shaft.

What is on the other side of volcano any thing holding in thetube

Jim, I was sorry to see you leave when you did. Partly because of your videos I went out and bought a 1986 Catalina 22 a month ago that needs a little work. I am not sure you still follow this channel anymore, but the one thing that I could not find on your videos was how you had rigged an out-haul on the boom. Was wondering if you had any videos or pictures that might help me reconfigure/rig this on my boat? Miss seeing your information.

thank u for this video !

great idea I like the two rigid poles rather that one gin pole ant temporary stays. I'mina go build one now

Jim, three years ago I bought my Catalina 22 with intent to single hand out of Olympia harbor, much like yourself. Fast forward to now, and I’ve slowly set my boat up how I like it and I’m sailing with confidence around the south sounds many wonderful sights and locations. You helped give me the confidence to do what I do. As you know it can be daunting at first. Thanks again!

Hello Jim, Say can you show how the boom rope is setup, I have a 22 ft catalina like yours, but no documentation on setting up the boom rope. thanks Mike I sail in Lake Michigan. Holland or Grand Haven.

I just found this. Your legacy lives on though the amazing videos you made.

I was hoping he’d show how to remove the ball from its position. That’s where I’m getting caught up

Good old Maslow!

Great video. I think I might switch over to your 2 line arrangement

Thanks for sharing

5'7"? Must be nice. boats that fit and clothes that fit everywhere you go.

Not sure why you don't like the center cam cleat. Jam cleats only better because it's small. I do like the multi angle setup.

Mad respect, Jim. Thank you for your service, also.

Never heard the term Iron Spinnaker, i like that😂

I'm not very experienced at reefing, probably done it twice in my life, but I don't understand why friction points matter. As long as you keep the boat pointed into the wind the luff sail shouldn't be difficult to reef.

Jim, what material did you use to sew the halyard ends? Thanks so much for this informative video. It has helped tremendously.

Jim I’m gonna miss ya. My boat Blessing is your model year and you have encouraged me to tackle all jobs with confidence and taught me so so much. Thanks for making these videos.

I love your mentality😊…totally chilled

Thank you....🇨🇦

Jim, I am learnig how tosail and maintain my first sailboat, thanks to you. I will continue to use your videos as I progress. I hope all is well with you and your family.

Same thing here 😂 👍

Thank you, Sir.....a great video

I enjoy your videos; about to follow in your footsteps as a single hand on a Precision 21. I'm a beginner so please keep making these.

Thanks Jim. I am installing a double line reef system on my Santana 2023. I'm wondering how far aft on the boom I should install the first turning block for reef #1 (I'll worry about installing reef lines for second reef later). Should I mount the turning block slightly aft of where reef clew will reach the boom, or right in line with where the first reef clew will meet boom? I do have a 3:1 outhaul already. In other words, is the placement of the aft turning block critical? Thanks. I enjoy your tutorials.

Hey Jim, I bought a 1986 Catalina 22 back in Sept 2020. (mainly because of your videos) I drove 750 miles Tennessee to Texas to pick her up. I am 64 years old and hope to spend my retirement years sailing on local lakes. I am interested in purchasing a carport like you kept Bootstrap in, what size is it? Thanks for all the information you have provided to the sailing community over the years. Good Luck and God speed !

Jim, thank you so much for your videos, which I've enjoyed immensely. Best wishes, my friend! Pob lwc o Gymru!

Thanks great video and thank you for pointing out how long it might take.

I like your simple explanations

Thanks for the ending recap about the slug.

I've done so many of your projects on my C-22. You are the best! Thanks Jim.

Thanks for sharing your tips and knowledge. I’m also from Wa State (omak) and purchased a seaward 24 trailer sailer. Will be retiring march of 2024 and will begin this new chapter of life by learning how to sail. Hopefully someday we can meet up. Thanks again for your videos. Very motivational . Don Eddy

I’m still going to follow your channel, its great reference material for small sailboats and hopefully you find a new project to post vids of. Good luck!

Thanks Jim. I've been off playing with other hobbies, but I intend to do much more sailing this year and wanted a little refresher.
