    we are interested in the Mira when you are ready to sell. I’m 14 and me and my dad just started sailing last summer on a hobie 16 after I saw your sailing to the Bahamas on the hobie 16. That was one of the big things that got us sailing. We would love to try sailing a larger boat. So please let us know we would love to continue Mira’s sailing adventure. We live in Melbourne FL . We will sail it back here from wherever it ends up.

    I have old sails and experienced what you have too. The bolt rope actually shrinks due to mechanical hysteresis. Like 3 strand docklines, repetitive strain on the fibers causes them to heat up and shorten and get stiff. You got the immediate fix done but you'll need another bolt rope on there real soon to keep the sail from fraying. Happy sailing Sam and thanks for taking us along on your adventures! Dean

Happy to have been introduced to your channel Sir, and I genuinely appreciate the time and effort you put into your productions, as well as the pure joy you exude making them. Cheers to you and your many adventures!

    Hey Sam I've subscribed to your channel for a long while now and I love it. I'm retired and had to sell my boat in England before I moved to the far East. As a suggestion maybe you could make a series of 30 minutes videos aimed at the inexperienced, focussing on hard lessons you have learned along the way. Just an idea

    Sam, you forgot your eye protection when you cut the metal railings on the back of your boat.

    Hey Sam, you should go to Port Elizabeth South Africa. Sail in the Swartkops River mouth. I did that for years as a student and the wind always blows 20-30 knots. The sand bank at river mouth is often raised a foot or two, and makes the water smooth. You can do slalom and wave sailing. Also try J-Bay in the eastern cape of South Africa.

    Great job on that bolt rope. Now you can properly tension it. Dacron shrinks. Always happens. I always used nylon in my loft. Plus, the way they sew it also shrinks it initially. Only good when it’s new. Love your gathering of the old boaty and getting more life with ingenuity.
