Heartwarming to watch a Dad with his budding sailor learn the "lines" in launching. Well done, Dad. He'll always remember helping you. You both have many sails ahead of you and you'll have the video for posterity's sake.
Just found your channel and watched this video. Loved your interaction with your son. Mine is grown and I miss the old days when he was your son's age. Enjoy sailing with him.
We always seem to forget a life vest or two, so our boat is now equipped with many extras. If you ever find yourself assisting a sinking boat that is loaded with people, you will be glad you brought as many extra PFD's as would fit on the boat.
We usually keep the life vests on board, but I take them out over the winter and store them inside. I had the inflatable with me since I keep that it my sailing bag to avoid moisture.
I know, I know! The Admiral already scolded me. The good news is I found their life jackets before the next time we went out. The bad news is that they've grown and I really need to buy new ones.

I have just acquired a Compac 19 and am having a heck of time raising the mast. Can you share in detail how you are using the jib halyard to help raise the mast ?
Hello! Our boat has the halyards run to the cockpit, so we have a winch and rope clutch they run through. I clip the halyard to the bow (where the forestay attaches) and take up the slack as I raise the mast. I don't really as much raise the mast with it as I use it to hold it once I've gotten it up there. It's light enough that I can lift it up myself from standing in the cockpit.

I am considering a Compac and I appreciate seeing the reality of rigging the boat. Love the "voyage" music. Good job you two.
Thanks 👍
Nice job with your son 👍
Great video. You have the patience of a saint
Thank you very much! I try... :-)
Awesome Fathering!!

The captain has a life jacket but not the crew.!! I'm telling Mom.

Indeed. One of my best decisions was to color code when I replaced the running rigging. You rarely go wrong with "pull the blue one!"
"oh, sugar!!" - you have a great restraint...
Great restraint? Or control over the editing process? The world will never know... ;)

If ever a sailboat needed a backstay release the Compac is it. Off the wind sailing performance for those who don't know what the release is for.
Without a centerboard the shoal keep goes upwind like a pig. There's a bunch of things the Compac is good at. Performance.... Not really one of them.
Hermosa relación padre e hijo!.Siempre tuve veleros y no supe establecer estas relaciones con mis hijos en la navegación!.Te felicito!,
gracias!
Where is the kid jacket.?
We store them inside for the winter, and didn't toss them back in the boat when we left for the marina.
