  • Jamie explains how we pole out the genoa. It can be a bit tricky to set up, but with practice allows for a safe, fun passage. Sailing wing on wing (aka goosewing) when you have a following sea can give a rollicking fast ride anywhere, but across the Lombok Strait it doubled the adventure! This part of the Bali Sea is notoriously fickle (and on occasion impassable)...

    Nice fold in your main... 😮 When we were buying our boat, we thought we wanted in-mast but the boat we purchased was slab reefed. As it turns out we are very happy with our slab reefed main and are now very glad we did _not_ get in-mast reefing. And now you have demonstrated yet another advantage - our halyard is up and down on every sail and therefore is always tensioned correctly. No slipping halyards for us... 😄
    It looked like a nice sail, if a bit lumpy and the views were wonderful.

    • @followtheboat
      @followtheboat  8 дней назад +1

      To be honest, now that we've had in-mast all these years I almost wouldn't have it any other way. Simple to deploy, can furl away when off-wind, it's a pretty stress-free system for liveaboards.

      Maybe a Canadian term, Peter 😉

      Common term here in the UK. Only come across 'wing on wing' through watching American cruisers on RUclips. Guessing there might be other regionally different terms. 😊

      Hi Jerome. We will discuss this in more detail some time in the future but the reality is it's too far away from the UK. I will be having to spend more time flying back there.

    What are your thoughts on using that DJI Pocket cam? Didn’t really notice the wrinkle in the main, but did notice the shadow of a Pocket 3. I just got this camera but have not filmed out on the water yet. The footage from this episode was beautiful, so im guessing you like it?

    • @followtheboat
      @followtheboat  8 дней назад +1

      Hi Edward. The footage is a mix from the GH5, Action 4 and Pocket 3. The Pocket 3 is great for the wide shots and also talking to camera, it's a neat bit of kit, and the 32bit float audio means you'll never clip. I went through a period of shooting in 'normal', like in this episode, but I prefer shooting in log so in a few episodes I switch back. What the pocket 3 in normal mode is good for is shooting the face in a shadow with a bright background. It uses some kind of HDR magic to not blow out highlights while retaining the correct exposure on the face. I really like the Pocket 3 and use it every day.

    Do you still have your WindPilot? How well does it work on a run?

    • @followtheboat
      @followtheboat  8 дней назад +1

      We do, but it was decommissioned when we built our solar arch, so we've not used it in years. I couldn't comment on this with any conviction but in these kind of conditions it would probably be ok.

  • @stevereade5939
    @stevereade5939 8 дней назад +1

    Hi Jamie, do you ever use your stay sail sheeted in tight when you sail goosewing? Eddie says it prevents rolling as much!

    • @followtheboat
      @followtheboat  8 дней назад

      No, is that a thing? Wouldn't the sail be constantly backing if sheeted in? We tend to only use our staysail when going into wind but I'm happy to hear other ideas!

    Does your pole longer than the distance between the mast and the forestay , ours is so we can’t tack but others aren’t , curious

      We have a staysail and a baby stay so no chance of tacking with it unfortunately 😕

      We have no experience of it so we can't comment, but it looks like a good design and probably easier to deploy than messing around with poles and preventers.
