@chris widney There is no better feeling than to pull into a safe anchorage having fought your way through a good blow. As a former commercial fisherman, I've never felt a more alive than when pulling into port with a hold full of fish after fighting our way through storm force weather.
THIS is proper sailing! It's great to watch skilled sailors showing how it's done without the benefit of a big flash yacht in calm seas. You two are miles in front of the pack - take a bow.
Pascal, I would like to say you are a very very brave woman. My wife would have been screaming and in tears. I am not saying she is not as brave as me, because I would have been screaming and in tears. Troy is an old salt, I got that, but you handled yourself quite admirably. I sincerely respect your courage.
ARRGH!!! Me wonderful buckos.....courageous ye be with sheets in the winds, bringing smiles to yourself and us digital followers... Neptune shows his agreement...Thell be an extra ration of rum fer ye this day for such demonstrations of bravery.... ARRGH !!
Armchair expert comment. We have a cutter rig with a hanked staysail on a moveable wire forstay which is great when wind is over30 The roller head sail only sets decently when rolled less than half and still we're overpowered So the staysail headstay is tensioned onto foredeck tack by a big pelican tackle and the cutter goes to work Beauty!
With all that was going on it is so impressive that you collected this footage and were able to share such an experience with your viewers. The boom repair appears to be bomb-proof, and it certainly was tested. Respect.
One of your best. When you were talking about watching for chaf on the furling line it reminded me of a delivery of a Roberts 45. We lost the furling line at night with 50 knots out in the bite. To get the heady in we motored to wind into a huge sea. Two crew crawled to the bow and used a winch handle between the foil and luff to furl the sail. Being calm on the outside whilst you're screaming on the inside makes you a good skipper.
Yep. And I never go barefoot on deck, no matter how nice the weather. One accidental slam into something and you can have a nasty injury to deal with while at the same time trying to deal with a host of any of the million other things that can go wrong on a boat.
Gawd! You could see the line from the front across the sky in the footage! Gradient winds on the back sides of pressure systems- You guys are SO pro! I dont watch other peoples caught in gale videos. Had to see how it was done by the best!
I'm about 6 months behind and just catching up on older episodes - that was some wind! I remember how hot it was, back when the bushfires got real bad. Respect for dealing with that wind.
Aye m8's, absolutely lovely vid. Something to watch more then once! Nice skill there you both, Troy for bringing the goods to shore and Pascale for making the best out of filming it. 💪 I don't know who is impressing me most, but that's not your worries. 😉
What a fun episode. I love Pascal's sound effects. Teaching skiing one can tell when people are afraid when their voice changes, looks like the same in sailing.
This was really well done, and I really enjoyed watching. I felt like I was there with you. So, from Colorado, I want to say thanks for taking me along for a good sail:)
Wow very impressed with the boom repair. Great boat but would certainly agree an inner forestay and nice high clew staysail would have helped. Bit surprised you were not harnessed and clipped in an mob in those conditions would have been a bit of a challenge!!
That's the best bit of sailing video since some of the Whitbread round the world stuff. Blake on ciramco and the like. You guys are truely among the best
Great sailing and advice under extreme weather conditions. Poor Pascale takes another one for the team. Troy looks like he’s in his element and the boat is behaving beautifully. Just goes to show a lot of preparation and maintenance when on the hard makes all the difference. Troy you and Pascale must be so proud. Love ya to bits just be safe ❤️👍🏴
Hemihutt Yea... put a third reef on my main on my first boat after a shitty channel crossing, and never needed it again. Sea Gods knew I was prepared 🤙
Jeez, Troy, you exhibited absolute sang froid there. Not surprised you were knackered by the time you got into the anchorage. I would have slept for a week! Pascale, I'm amazed by you keeping your cool, too. Great team, great fun to watch.
Troy: You alright? Pasci: I'm a bit scared. Troy: Don't be scared. Pasci: Alright. Don't sink the boat. Troy: .... I'm not going to sink the boat. ... Also Troy: We're only sinking a little bit.
There are only two rules in sailing #1 Never abandon the boat unless it abandons you. #2 The buttocks rule, if the water is swirling around your buttocks refer back to rule #1.
What a joy! Sorry I'm behind watching your videos. My daughter has had the same migraine for 3years (non stop pain) and she's taken a turn for the worse. So, I've been busy caring for her, her brothers, working and hoping for a medical treatment to help soon. I took some much needed R and R and watched a video. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure. The videos always calm me. Blessings, 💖 Olaina
WOW!!! Well done you two and my hats off to ya captain. 50 knots in that little boat had to have been one hell of a ride and you showed a hell of a lot of skill in getting her in safely. Your little vessel is definitely well built and designed as that passage proved. It may not have been a jaunt across the pond so to speak but that would have been more than enough excitement for me. It's also something I wouldn't even attempt without your experience/skill. Again well done you two, Troy for knowing what and how to do it and Passy for keeping her calm when obviously just a bit terrified... As always fair winds, safe travels and God Bless...
OMG all I want to do is give you both a big hug, and say well done, what a great display of skill and determination. You made my day ........ again. Thank you for such a fantastic insight to your life on the water. Thank you.
glad to see someone else showing what happens in true sailing.i had visualized sailing for years.in 2008 i left everything,bought a 30 ft. sailboat in fla. and moved onto it.had never sailed before.taught myself to sail.and began going into the gulf,in rough weather,alone.other sailors thought i was insane.most of my time doing this looked exactly like your video.i felt that without experiencing this, i could not truly know what i was up against.i learned a lot in a short time.thanks for showing the true ocean.
Some great boating skills on display from the both you there. Suffice to say if you think the east coast of NSW can be windy I look forward to that part of your trip from Melbourne back to Perth via the Great Southern Ocean.
I watch all your videos. There is no video on youtube like yours. I have never seen such great real-time videos. However, underwater videos are also very nice. Thank you.
Great video showing exactly what its like some days, the effort required, which reminds me the same. Even a 30 ft boat for heavy weather needs to consider their sail plan. Well done Troy.
I think Troy was having a great time with no worries. For sure a nip or two when at anchor or mooring. Pascale a real trooper. Great video, glad you guys kept the camera running. You could have wimped out and turned to sailing totally. Thanks sailors !🍻
Great to see a REAL sailorman in action, Troy! Thanks for the ride! BTW, you remind me of the late Ronald Ryan - a true sailorman, he had two Liberty Ships shot out from under him in WWII, sailed his 28 footer from NYC to the Canaries, Spain, Greece, and back to Florida. He was my business partner and is sorely missed, but I know he's sailing somewhere in the dreams of eternity.
HA! Just thought of it, my profile pic is of myself in the belly of Ron's Bertram 54, overhauling the 8V92's ! He went powerboating after his knees went bad in his early 70's.
Always worry about someone slipping and going overboard with no lifejacket. Then what? How do you retrieve a person (Troy) from the water and only Pasky on board to drive the boat?
I'm new to sailing but this has been on my mind a bit. Esp since i sail solo most of the time. I bought my self vest that has a builtin harness. Looking forward to try it out :D Just have to wait for the winter to end hehe
Wow. I had to watch twice. Excellent seamanship. Great boom repair. Hope your anchorage provided rest & recuperation. Thank you so much for sharing real footage. "How to add life to your years".
I am already a Patreon and subscriber and love every minute of your work. My wife is NOT a sailor by any means but even she is enjoying your videos. I have already gone through them once but am now going through them with her. We are senior citizen (ME TURNING 76 JUNE 12. You are TOPS with me.
Banked some energy from all that wind/sun. Was on edge of my seat watching video. Needed to take a half of Xanax. Lol. Great captain with exceptional skills.
Were only sinking a little bit! You kill me Troy. But I've got alot of respect for you sir. You take care of the one you love. Your a good man in my book.
Brilliant video guys, we were racing in late October in Pittwater and experienced teh same wind speeds, essentially cancelling the second day of race series, probably the same time as you were there I imagine. We were moored up at the basin for the Seawind Cup. Great video, best ever. Great skills Troy and great tenacity Pascale. Cheers Ross
You two are legends, what a great sailing Chanel, Troy you know your sailing, that’s so obvious, and your so reassuring for pascal, now she is one brave little Sailor, we kept thinking why hasn’t he got his wet weather gear on, I think Pascal was wrapped around the mast hanging onto her dear life whilst trying to film! It’s time I become a Patreon, it’s not about the boat size, it’s about the journey, destinations and what you offer as a couple, that’s a standout..educational, realistic and brave!
Man, I can relate to both Pascale and Troy on this passage. Pascale showed honest feelings that I too have experienced in conditions that were over my head. Luckily, sailors like Troy know what they’re doing so they remain calmer. I still get fearful, but am working to become confident in my skills and my boat, so I can face and tactically handle what comes my way. I suppose it takes time like anything else and lots of practice.

There is no better feeling than to pull into a safe anchorage having fought your way through a good blow.
As a former commercial fisherman, I've never felt a more alive than when pulling into port with a hold full of fish after fighting our way through storm force weather.
chris widney chicken 🐓, 😂 loved your comment though!
@@highvibe4839 I went through it yesterday in the Solent where there's plenty to hit.
He's right.
Gotta love it when word from the captain is "we're only sinking a little bit". Aren't you glad your captain has years of experience.
THIS is proper sailing! It's great to watch skilled sailors showing how it's done without the benefit of a big flash yacht in calm seas. You two are miles in front of the pack - take a bow.
Hats off to Mirrool! One tough 50 year old sailing vessel. ⛵️
I'm a 57yr old sailing...um...something. Where are my teeth?
Now that's sailing! A pucker factor of 12 on a scale of 1-10.
George Dean yes I too am all puckered out! 😱
Pascal, I would like to say you are a very very brave woman. My wife would have been screaming and in tears. I am not saying she is not as brave as me, because I would have been screaming and in tears. Troy is an old salt, I got that, but you handled yourself quite admirably.

Guys please wear life jackets and more importantly hook on. I want to see next weeks episode. X
ARRGH!!! Me wonderful buckos.....courageous ye be with sheets in the winds, bringing smiles to yourself and us digital followers... Neptune shows his agreement...Thell be an extra ration of rum fer ye this day for such demonstrations of bravery.... ARRGH !!
"Going to weather in 50 knots really sucks." Understatement of the week, my friend! :D
He's insane! Capable but a bit nutz! Hell of a boat!
Armchair expert comment. We have a cutter rig with a hanked staysail on a moveable wire forstay which is great when wind is over30
The roller head sail only sets decently when rolled less than half and still we're overpowered
So the staysail headstay is tensioned onto foredeck tack by a big pelican tackle and the cutter goes to work
Beauty!
With all that was going on it is so impressive that you collected this footage and were able to share such an experience with your viewers. The boom repair appears to be bomb-proof, and it certainly was tested. Respect.
Real sailing, where skills and experience are mandatory.. Good job skipper Troy..
One of your best. When you were talking about watching for chaf on the furling line it reminded me of a delivery of a Roberts 45. We lost the furling line at night with 50 knots out in the bite. To get the heady in we motored to wind into a huge sea. Two crew crawled to the bow and used a winch handle between the foil and luff to furl the sail. Being calm on the outside whilst you're screaming on the inside makes you a good skipper.
Cutter with hank on self tending staysail, furl the heady and sail under double reefed main and staysail, bomb, no worries
Perfect music while Pascal was cleaning up the "mess."
It's a personal judgement but I would have had a harness and tether on in those conditions.
Yep. And I never go barefoot on deck, no matter how nice the weather. One accidental slam into something and you can have a nasty injury to deal with while at the same time trying to deal with a host of any of the million other things that can go wrong on a boat.
Yeps, it’s not nice to do a man overboard manoeuvre in 50 knots of wind looking for your boyfriend in high seas..........the coast then is far away.
My thoughts too.
Agreed, a bit foolish. A life jacket at the very least.
How did we ever survive the 60’s and 70’s without OHS Nazi’s.
Gawd! You could see the line from the front across the sky in the footage! Gradient winds on the back sides of pressure systems- You guys are SO pro! I dont watch other peoples caught in gale videos. Had to see how it was done by the best!
Now that's a ride ! Start out in a long sleeve dress shirt and end in HPX's !! You're the man Troy !
That was so much fun to watch, Troy did an amazing job of keeping control and I just loved Pascale's very nervous laugh and facial expressions
I'm about 6 months behind and just catching up on older episodes - that was some wind! I remember how hot it was, back when the bushfires got real bad. Respect for dealing with that wind.
That was a very wild ride, I feel I need a day to rest myself. Troy sir you are a amazing sailor...clam cool and collective...
Troy looked a little wind swept at the end there, Look on the bright side, Your window seals work great
Too much fun! Good job sailing, Troy.
Cheers Bob.
Aye m8's, absolutely lovely vid. Something to watch more then once! Nice skill there you both, Troy for bringing the goods to shore and Pascale for making the best out of filming it. 💪 I don't know who is impressing me most, but that's not your worries. 😉

Troy you are a heck of a sailor; a master of the seas. Well done. Glad to see the boom held up to the great patch you both did. Huge fan of you both.
That's the best bit of sailing video since some of the Whitbread round the world stuff. Blake on ciramco and the like. You guys are truely among the best
Now, this is SAILING!!!! Awesome job!
Great sailing and advice under extreme weather conditions. Poor Pascale takes another one for the team. Troy looks like he’s in his element and the boat is behaving beautifully. Just goes to show a lot of preparation and maintenance when on the hard makes all the difference. Troy you and Pascale must be so proud. Love ya to bits just be safe ❤️👍🏴
so many good one-liners!
I d get the sail maker to add a third reefing point in your main. its a game changer.
Hemihutt Yea... put a third reef on my main on my first boat after a shitty channel crossing, and never needed it again. Sea Gods knew I was prepared 🤙
Jeez, Troy, you exhibited absolute sang froid there. Not surprised you were knackered by the time you got into the anchorage. I would have slept for a week! Pascale, I'm amazed by you keeping your cool, too. Great team, great fun to watch.
Bravo, needs 10 thumbs ups! Troy is Captain Haddock personified!
pascals nervous laugh is so adorable. great job to the both of you !!!
Troy: You alright?
Pasci: I'm a bit scared.
Troy: Don't be scared.
Pasci: Alright. Don't sink the boat.
Troy: .... I'm not going to sink the boat.
...
Also Troy: We're only sinking a little bit.
There are only two rules in sailing
#1 Never abandon the boat unless it abandons you.
#2 The buttocks rule, if the water is swirling around your buttocks refer back to rule #1.
I think Pascal is awesome. Have met guys like Troy FNQ but have never met anyone like Pascal. Together you make a mighty fine team.
I agree she's an adventurous and brave woman. Troy and her do make a great team.
Great sailing guys, the Clansman showed it can handle those conditions
Proper sailors, proper sailing. No dramas
What a joy!

" We are only sinking a little bit" An EPIC statement! Be happy, be safe.
Troy for a man from down under you got it handled! Please be safe and you both are super people!
50 knots is great sailing you know you are alive have fun take care great vids
I have to say that I was impressed with the little boat handled the weather. I doubt you’d want to see worse conditions. Well done.
OMG !!! Pascale, "we're only sinking a little bit !!!" Loved this episode. Not one I am going to show my bride. :D :) :) :)
Maybe you should !! Show her they survived, and the boat looked after them.
That was crazy! I was scared for you! My hat's off to you Captain Troy! A rest is well earned!
WOW!!!

Second the inner stay jib idea. Have a 36 ft cheoy lee needs one here in Moreton bay. Will be interested to see what you do.
Cheers Nick

Got to wear your high flotation safety dress shirt!! Awesome stuff guys, love the boom repair test procedure. I live for Pascale's nervous laugh. (:
love the excitment of water in the coxkpit and over the rail! looks like real fun!
Now that looks fun.
Now that was an episode worth watching

I could see the importance of a cutter rig to maintain speed and balance. That looked really fun. 👍👍👍
Fantastic....That was so fun to watch and thank you both. Great Sailing Job.
Ur such a good captain remain the calm to the crew,im learning evry eposide thanks
absolutely amazing sailing skills
When the gunals are under water and staying there good idea to wear a life jacket
I watch all your videos. There is no video on youtube like yours. I have never seen such great real-time videos. However, underwater videos are also very nice. Thank you.
Great video! Would have liked to see PFD’S used.
Great video showing exactly what its like some days, the effort required, which reminds me the same. Even a 30 ft boat for heavy weather needs to consider their sail plan. Well done Troy.
Funny to see sailing in bad weather in a full ironed white elegant shirt... what a style! :)
I think Troy was having a great time with no worries. For sure a nip or two when at anchor or mooring. Pascale a real trooper.
Great video, glad you guys kept the camera running. You could have wimped out and turned to sailing totally. Thanks sailors !🍻
Now that was an exhibition of seamanship the like of which I have never seen. Brilliant job to you both. .
You know you're sailing hard when the gunwale is underwater!
Great to see a REAL sailorman in action, Troy! Thanks for the ride!

Luftbubblan Good for you. I wish more YT sailors would think about the influence they have on novice sailors.
Wish I knew how to sail like this guy. I’m learning a lot from him. God bless him and pascal.
You are the man Troy!! Now that's a Sailing video! Top notch!
Absolutely bloody amazing footage of an expert sailor wrestling with extreme sailing conditions on a tiny yacht.bravo sir
Whoa! That was hectic! Mirrool looked untroubled and, if the Skipper was concerned, never let on. The Basin must have come as a welcome oasis.
"We're only sinking a little bit" and "going weather in 50 knots sucks" love it! Great episode.

Banked some energy from all that wind/sun. Was on edge of my seat watching video. Needed to take a half of Xanax. Lol. Great captain with exceptional skills.
Your Best Episode Ever!
Thank you.
I note that your repair job on the boom held up well! Good work there my man!
This probably my favorite sailing channel to be honest. It's fresh and organic with tons of sailing knowledge.
Were only sinking a little bit! You kill me Troy. But I've got alot of respect for you sir. You take care of the one you love. Your a good man in my book.

Well sailed & boom repair held up well done sailors cheers this is good sailing
That was an exciting ride! Glad it all worked out well.
That was a great video. I’m always anxious when the boat heals over so much!! But you guys handled it very calmly. Well done!!! Cheers from the US!
Looks like an exciting ride. Well handled.
Wow what a video of sailing in that conditions Troy! Hats off to a ya captain.
