A little hard too tell from the video but the damage to the headsail might be limited to the UV protective strip ( the blue part at the back and bottom), if it is then that is a pretty easy fix for a sailmaker. No help now but I always take a few extra turns on the furled sail which wraps the jib sheets around the sail. If high winds are coming or if you’re going to be away for a while you can tie a line around the sail, same with the main. Hopefully the damage isn’t as bad as it looks. It sucks when the boat gets damaged.
yeah, no. It's toast. I actually replaced the UV protection cover myself. I made a video about it: ruclips.net/video/7k97ICA1G3g/видео.html I've learned my lesson on securing the headsail! That is for sure. It literally took weeks to make the repairs, so this one stung for sure!
@@EdwardSeatonSailings that’s a tough break for sure. Hopefully you can source a used head sail, I got a used headsail for about a quarter of the cost of a new one off a similar boat, i had a sailmaker modify it to fit, it lasted me 5 years or so. I’ve sold sails by putting notices up on marina bulletin boards and Facebook so there are deals to be found. I hope it works out for you.
Found you the other day, and am impressed. You learned alot, quickly in these videos. Some gifts from a 100 to skipper and ASA instructor: #1Neutral is your friend. Use your momentum. #2 Don't steer the bow. Steer the space between the mast and shrouds. #3 Your Erickson backs to Port, use that gift. Never plan to back to Starboard from a standing start; use the Port prop walk to slow your approach and bring your boat stern in close at the same time when docking. "Blow"dega Bay and Oyster Point (windy 'cause San Leandro sucks) are famous as big wind area. Good luck, see you on the water.
@@tomhurley3938 steer the space between the mast and the shrouds... meaning don't look at the bow? Thanks very much for watching and leaving a very useful comment!
Sorry that no one in the marina was able to see your sail start blowing and wrap it up for you. Good luck getting a new one! We recently made sure to secure ours even more after seeing and assisting, some other boats' sails that unfurled in wind up here. Feel for you!
this is one of the main reasons that I'd like to move to a different marinas. There really isn't a sailing community here. That being said I have met a few other sailors here because of the storm, so that's good. I think there were a total of 3 sailboats in the marina that lost their headsails. Makes me wonder if a hank on solution would be better.
I just saw this video. It is timely since my boat (Allied 36 ketch) just rode out tropical storm Philippe at the marina on Saturday night (Oct 7/8). I always keep an eye on the weather and prep the boat any time winds over 30-35 knots are predicted. Too bad about the jib. What I do if I am going to leave my jib on the furler is make sure I have a very tight furl and roll the sail up so that there are 2-3 turns of the jib sheets around the furled sail. Then I tie sail ties around the sail as high up as I can reach. I also tie off the furling drum to the boat's stem so that it can't rotate. The final thing I do is make sure the furling line is well secured to keep the furler from rotating. I have my furling line led to a dedicated winch so I put three turns on the winch, put the line in the self tailing jaws and then wrap the line 3-4 times around the winch before cleating it off. If I know a big blow is coming (50+ knots) I take the sails and dodger down. I also double up my mooring lines and add extra fenders. If I don't take the sails down I wrap lines around the main and mizzen over the sail covers. Here is a link to my storm prep for tropical storm Philippe last weekend ( ruclips.net/video/bjnxdfqdBcs/видео.html ) and here is the prep I did for hurricane Lee three weeks ago (ruclips.net/video/Hl-t7eJ7ApI/видео.html ). I hope this helps for future storms.
Yeah! This was my 1st big blow. Thank God I was in the marina. There are so many things I should have done. Thank you for the checklist. Very helpful 👌
just binged watch your vids to get me up to date. Your precis of 2022 wasn't good and you were hoping for more from 2023. well it hasn't started so good but the only way is up. You really have a good demeanour considering. When you own a boat you learn some lessons eh mate.
absolutely! It's been scary and wild, but I kinda like it! I think I really am a boat guy at heart which is a wonderful thing to learn. Thank you so much for your encouragement and help! Are you in the UK? Maybe Ireland? Wow, would I love I sail there one day. I have lots of family in the UK.
done and done ;) also spent a fair amount of time securing other people's boats. There were a few boats in the Marina that we seconds away from disaster.
if you can get this size of you ripped Genoa to me i know a fella that breaks boats and i got a replacement Genoa off him when mine ripe in a storm, I learned the hard way as well. don't get down hearted Buddy
I will certainly keep you posted. The storm system is still blowing through so I've opted to not take it down until I can do so safely. Does this fella you mentioned ship to States?
@@sailingceltic1911 indeed! Haven't been able to pull the old one down yet. Waiting for a break in the weather. It's been one after another for nearly 3 weeks now! Hold Fast! Yar ;)

Saw that capsized boat and wondered how you’ve been faring. Glad you are ok! Good luck this week :-/
thank you, Jackie.

awww damn, sucks you lost your headsail, but good thing that's the worst you had to deal with
Yeah! Can't imagine what that would have been like out at sea. This was one the moments that I really felt like a beginner. Still, it was exciting!
@@EdwardSeatonSailings haha i bet!
When you get the chance check your mooring lines. Ensure they are secure and add extra for security.
done and done ;) also spent a fair amount of time securing other people's boats. There were a few boats in the Marina that we seconds away from disaster.
Mariner's tend to look after and help each other. It's a great community
I gave you a thumbs up but it doesn’t feel right to thumbs up bad news, lol.
All's well that ends well. We've got a few more storms on the way, but I feel like I'm finally prepared for them.
😵
exactly
if you can get this size of you ripped Genoa to me i know a fella that breaks boats and i got a replacement Genoa off him when mine ripe in a storm, I learned the hard way as well. don't get down hearted Buddy

@Edward Seaton if he doesn't, I will collect it and send it to you. Bloody boats eah 😆
