lovely video my friends. Congratulations on your maiden voyage. Complete success. So much to be happy about with this first leg of your journey. Miss you.
We’re excited to find out the rest… more wind and bigger seas will test everything but confidence is high. Graceful is a good word for how she feels running before the wind.
I'll be to first to congratulate you here on youtube! Nice job everyone! Beautiful sailing... We'll miss you here in E'ville, but I'll catch up... Can't wait to see the Rosie G at anchor in Ahe...
Thank you for seeing how well she flies. It’s really quite challenging to be trusting the vane to drive while surfing dead down at 11kts. But in retrospect we simply let it happen and watched in wonder
Great boat, great work. This could be one of the best sailboat channels out there with very nice income for you. Many people are showing interest in this kind of unique sailboat. But you have to co operate or hire a filmographer. There are plenty of them already looking for unique subject to film. You just have to make an announcement an invite them to the boat. Thanks
Not interested. What we do is for fun. Making it more than that takes the fun out. It’s just another job. We see other ‘top channels’ that are having trouble keeping the thread going. It must be so hard to be beholding to tens of thousands of critical eyes. And taking their money so you don’t have to ‘work’.
@@rosiegreddogyachts4135 "you always have to work, one way or another" I respect your way. It would be also my way some day i hope. Just wanted more content from your boat Fair winds
Thanks for your input. We appreciate your comments a lot and we will get more content once we start sailing again, but we’re not on a deadline to get it posted. We’re both retired from a life of deadlines and expectations. We are doing this for us and if you enjoy our journey, we’re glad. And we are certainly not going to post what we’re having for breakfast just to fill time 😊🌺🌸@@rocknsail
I’ll do more narrative soon. All the editing is much harder when you add voiceover and we don’t have the great microphone. We’ll do it though. There is certainly a story to be told.
Scow bows are a really cool design that has some significant advantages. But how is it going upwind? Every time I do some research on scows the consensus is that it pounds and slams like crazy during upwind sailing. Keep the videos coming. Thanks!
So far we have only gone upwind in about 22T inside SF Bay. We sailed many miles upwind because every trip involved at least eight tacks to get up to the fun parts… city front, sausalito.in a strong ebb there was short steep chop plus tanker and ferry wakes much bigger than that. I suppose you could call it pounding, but it was more like mowing and exploding. The wave is just burst apart by the lee shape in the heeled waterline and the spray is sent off in a way it never comes on deck except as droplets. We have been able to do 7+ at decent angles made good. There is no lifting and plunging, just steady as. I’m sure we will find out what it’s like to go to weather in bigger conditions, but i don’t expect it will be bad from what i have experienced so far. Seems interesting there is any consensus possible since there are only a handful of boats like this actually sailing. Mini TransAt, now creeping into the offshore 40’s, and a toe in the water for IMOCA. Rules prevent the adoption full bore. This would be an expensive paradigm to shatter. Imagine what your pointy 2MM4 racer is worth if there is no way for it to be competitive, like in the mini’s. I woulkd 100% guarantee if you experienced our first 350 ocean miles, you would be doing some rethinking.
@@rosiegreddogyachts4135 Thanks for the detailed answer. And yes, admittedly, the consensus I mentioned wasn’t all that many opinions total. Just noticed it being mentioned in several/articles regarding scow bows. Glad to hear it hasn’t been an issue so far.
I think the consensus is more opinion without experience. How can anyone have experience with something that doesn’t exist. It’s easy to assume what might be, impossible to actually know without experience. I was actually pretty sus myself, always wondering how it would go. Now, totally amazed. Lucky us… so far. @@Pccart1121
Definitely better than going up the coast, for sure. Personally, i find the talking bits to be hard. We have no good mics, and adding voice is adding lots of time. That said though, some narrative could help get the info about the boat’s performance and handling out there so people can get a sense of how astounding it was, even to the designer who was aboard. For me, the key moment was coming on watch at 0400 and finding Sam and Francoise free-standing in the cockpit, just talking and watching the wake as we surfed in the 10’s and 11’s with the Hydrovane driving. Smooth downwind stability and narrow course tracking at the speed is very encouraging. Lots more to learn as we get out in different circumstances, but so far, it’s OK.

Thanks Walt! We miss all of you, give Charlie a cuddle for us!
Beautiful and efficient boat.

You must have done something right Barrie… she moves right along and some more. No rolling.
Cheers. Frederik. Right behind you…

Love your boat! I’ve been following your videos for a while. Please do a bit more narration of what you’re filming. I’d love to learn more. 😊

I guess you wte going down the coast?
