Fun to listen to Sophie’s take on the situation. Great editing and music selection.
Sophie, I am so sorry I have not watched this until now. I have to say.. On more than one occasion, you have me laughing out loud! Great video. Heidi
Well done Sophie, that was full of real life sailing and u did a great job , Ryan isn't looking real well, perhaps his solo sail really burnt him out hope he gets that smile and energy back soon. Thanks for sharing 🇦🇺🌈🌞
Tip: Put a couple of shackles chain between the anchor and the swivel. This prevents breaking the swivel on the achor shaft. They are not designed for so match force. Have great sailing and always 4 inch water under the keel.
Sophies commentary is fantastic...Give us more!
Nicely done, Sophie. That made my morning. Thanks for yet another fine video.
So excited to see y'all! I hope the both of you are well and I look forward to seeing more of your adventures.
Be well. Do good.
Thanks Martin! It’s good to be back ☺️ We’ve worked A LOT in April and May, and it was nice not stressing ourselves too much with the videos. Nice to see you here again! 🥰
I’m sooo surprised that this big cat was so rolly making you and Ryan feel seasick! I thought it would be sooo much smoother for y’all?!
Surprised me, too, almost looked like a monohull!
But, with cross waves, the two hulls may go dancing, if the wavelength "fits" the beam.
Honestly, the conditions were REALLY harsh… rounding up an island is never a smooth experience, no matter if you’re on a mono or a cat.
Catamarans can be very uncomfortable in certain conditions. When rounding an island/headland, it's always wise to stay further offshore and avoid any clash between wind/swell/current/shallows/changes in the sea floor. When climbing a mountain on an island I have sometimes noticed a zone 1/2 mile wide where the water is far more turbulent.
Great to see you both again.
Glad you both are back!! I just you Sophie on Lady Africa!♥️
Fantastic work on the edit. Well done!
SO glad to see you back guys, we missed you.
We missed you too! 💙💙💙
I found that you should put a few chain links between the anchor and swivel. The swivel isn't designed to take sideways tension ( as it can if swivel is attached directly to anchor.
Glad to see your still getting it, watched M Falcon install some of Ryan's batteries yesterday without a hitch, so great Engineering. Back in 1975 the Captain & his wife bought me a fine meal at a fine restaurant in English harbor. As a peon suckered me in to signing up for one more year. Am pretty smart, a year later in Bermuda realized we were not going through the Panama canal & quit, that Engine room job.
I love your videos, they’re like a great movie or documentary with a “Moral Lesson” in them! This was one of my favorites, the music was perfect!
sophie, love your humor. good to see an update.
Good work on getting it done. Fun time again.
Brilliant production!!!
Fantastic work!!
Great Video !
Enjoyable, entertaining and well crafted. Well Done🙂
Love the production quality... you are getting really good at the storytelling and music selection 👌🎶❤️
Aaah thanks! We do put some work in those stories and it’s so nice to hear that it is appreciated 🥰
Hey guys. So glad you guys are doing great. Just read an article on Yahoo News about you guys. Great job. And you guys are so right. The highs are too high to worry about the lows. Fair winds.
Hi Guyss, good to see you back
Interesting video with some great visuals. I have never been seasick in thousands of mono hull miles, but came very close on a catamaran coming back from the outer barrier reef. OPB is the way to go. No marina fees, no repair costs and no weather worries.
Hi guys, it was very nice to see our beloved friends in this episode!
Love, crew of SY Sirius.
wow what a loooong month....so happy to see you guys again
You are right… it was a long month 😅
Yeay! A new episode!
Great OPB video!
OPB. Great episode. Content was spot on with a great subject and good humour. Good choice of music that complements the video mood. I suspect that your videos are 6 weeks or more behind as we met you in Jolly Harbour a couple months ago.
Ryan: I checked out your Dakota Lithium batteries and they sound very good. A great website. Don’t get to stresses over work. You guys are in the Caribbean. “Be happy”
Yes, we are about six weeks behind for now, but we will be catching up very quickly, as we spent most of our days in March, April and May working a lot and didn’t film that much. We should be back to almost real time in four weeks 😅 Right as I am typing this, we left Bermuda for Nova Scotia. We are so excited to make it to Canada, finally! Say hi to Gisele from us 🥰
You are a great storyteller!
Hectic! So glad everyone including the boat was okay(-ish)!👍🏻
Hectic is the word 😅
Always something...nice to see it all worked out though!✌️💜
Sophie is a star!!
Great video. Did the chain break or the swivel? Thanks
Zeros to heros. Loved this video.
That was really fun! Crazy set of events. Was reloading the sail into the boom pretty difficult? Seems like that would be a thing. Sounds like the owners were in really good spirits about the whole thing :) Thanks for another fun episode! F
Scary! Glad it ended well! Agree if one link has broken on the chain I'd find it hard to trust the rest of it!
Suggestion, would use a darker color text caption and let the caption stay on the screen a little longer please.
Just watched your great video and I was very surprised at how much the cat was rolling and pitching. I thought they were supposed to be much more stable than a monohull.
That's how I roll, OPB. Love drinking a cold Carib. Cheers 🍻
Glad your friends got everything sorted. Any update on the new tshirt designs? I can’t wait to buy my winch shirt!
So after months of going back and forth on it, we are launching a brand new website in a few weeks, and we’ll be launching those t-shirts then :)
I have never seen the point of anchor swivels? All they do as you correctly pointed out, is add a potential point of failure to the anchoring system and provide little or no benefits in return. If you have an anchor swivel, I strongly recommend that you remove it and replace it with the appropriately sized bow shackle installed the right way. If you really must use a swivel, do not connect it directly to the anchor, instead use a short length of chain between the anchor and the swivel.
I had a chain break 6 links at the welds but it still held me all night I found the broken when I pulled in anchor in the morning.
Ahh a new video, cool.Good looking cat.
would be good to hear what grade chain they had, 30, 40 or 70 or something else
I really wanted more about the anchor chain breaking. From what I heard, it wasn't under excess load (ie, wasn't holding u in place in a gale on a lee shore) - it was under normal steady operating load, and no shock loads. Did u find iether pc of the brocken chain-link? Was the chain a cheap imported brand from China - or from proof-tested stock? How old was it? So many questions. For me, if that chain broke under 'normal' use, there could be no thought of it ever being put back on the boat. However expensive chain is, it's the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy ...
That looks a good anchor (for that size of boat). As to the chain, it looks like 5/16" or 3/8" galvanized, which should be good, for what were calm conditions. Would ask where they bought their chain? It should ideally be stamped "HS" (high strength). Have heard of some very inferior, cheap Chinese chain getting put on boats with unfortunate consequences. This could have led to the loss of the entire boat so count yourselves very fortunate.
When getting anchor chain for my last boat boughtnin the USA, tbh, I was not At All Impressed with any of the Chain or Galvanising I Saw in any of the Chandlers, withbAll,of it looking like Cheap, Weak Chinese Crap. so I started looking for American Chain Suppliers with Anerican Steel and Anerican Galvanising, and found some Certified very high quality From a Trucking Suppliers, so ordered enough for an all chain rode. When it was delivered, its very high quality and excellent Galvanising was so good, the Boatyard asked ne for details of the supplier. It worked a charm with the strains of powerful Tornadoes. 👍🙂🇬🇧🏴🇺🇲
First time I see a catamaran with in-mast. Do they like it? We like ours A LOT!! Also our main sail ripped like that once on a passage. My handy Sailrite saved the day and a lot of 🤑 Nice video btw 👍
I think they like it!! But yeah, that sail rip wasn’t very fun 😅
would your boat (a monohull) have been more comfortable?
So nice to hear the cook say she managed not to vomit 🤮😂😂
Hahahaha 😂 I knew you’d appreciate it…
No sticky back (Sail tape) ? & was it Chines chain ?
Have to remember, sailing OPB means spending OPM. Looking ahead to the next adventure.
Hahaha 😂 true that!
Toujours de très jolies vidéos.
Surpris de vous voir sur la chaine Aticus aux bermudes.
Now just remember;
Life is an adventure, it’s NOT and NEVER should be about your destination,
but about the journey and how you get there.
So still thinking about a Catamaran for PS2? Great video.
Absolutely…
Wow…Seems Bad Luck with Cat…Bumpy at Sea…Ripped Mainsail…Broken Anchor Chain…Glad nobody Hurt…Continue to Stay Safe & Enjoy😎
How was the cat secured with the anchor gone? I'm slow.
It was put on a mooring ball nearby :)
I’m only 30 seconds in, but I was expecting the life hack to involve rum swizzle not OPB! 😂
Hahaha 😂
Bottom line- judge a boat by the in-mast furling or proper sails.
You’re so funny Sophie
👍👍
When on the verge of a technicolor yawn, eat bananas. They taste the same coming up as going down.
Question: where is your boat in all of this?
In her slip at the marina (first few seconds :))
@@RyanSophieSailing yeppers, you said it and I wasn’t paying attention,
😍
Lol, Sopihe!
You are the best!
I left you while you crossed the Atlantic eastwards, you had a shitty time, and I was too.
Thinking I had enough with my own shit, I unsubcribed you.
So satisfying to see that you still can handle shitty things with humor. ;-)
I´m now back as a subscriber.
Btw, I hope Ryan recover from the shit he had to deal with westwards the Atlantic. That was real heavy shit, not any easy task to overcome. :-/
notEnglish Harbour, but Falmouth
O.P.B. This is the way! So say we all!!
Hahaha! Right?!
😂❤️
No picture of the actual failure of the chain.
it is very anticlimatic... just like the end of a regular chain :/
@@RyanSophieSailing So one link failed and was lost. That is very rare unless it was cheap imitation chain as someone else mentioned.
Given that everybody is laughing at it with hindsight, was that type 2 fun? :)
I V time for Ryan
👍💯🖖
Or catamarans known for being less smooth in the water I’ve never seen you to look quite still sick
Is it just me or does it seem like Ryan Ryan is enjoying in alcoholic beverage more since his solo.
The best boats to sail are Opie Bea's 😊😄😄😄⛵️⛵️⛵️
HAHAHAHA 😂😂😂 clearly, they are 😉
OPB...... hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Talk about an accident looking for a place to happen...
Chain. Always insist on Certified high quality Calibrated Chain with each link stamped, and zguaranteed NOT to be Chinese. There's very good Italian Chain, which is one among only a few makers that are fit for purpose. watch the Galvanising of chain abd anchor, and get them regalvanised before they start rusting, which is not that expensive, and you are set up for more reliable years of use.
Van Morrison did not approve this!
We were born before the wind
Also, younger than the sun
'Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
And when the mainsail became torn
We did not morn
But when the anchor chain parted
The entire crew became broken hearted
As we sailed into the mystic
But as we entered the harbor
We had no fear
For the Bar was near
As we sailed into the mystic
Hahahaha 😃
:-)
I have been missing quite a few of these lately. My bad. Love the boat name and this version of the song Into the Mystic. ruclips.net/video/hQ_ccgOkJdI/видео.html and no I have no connection with them. You have both come a long way from the noobs I started following a year ago. I think you got this. I prefer your boat btw. I don't trust cats. Just me. J'oubli mon Francais chacque semaine qui passe apres 22 ans aux Etats. Je fais pitier et pas a peu pres. Dommage vous n'avez pas eu la chance de visiter le Quebec juste qua date. Si jamais vous vous trouvez a Montreal, n'oubiez pas la festive Juste Pour Rire. Happy trails.
I know… sometimes I look back at where we were four years ago, and I can’t believe how much we’ve done 😳 we wrote a 350 pages script on how to get started in the sailing life, and we’ve looked back at everything that happened since we first left. Crazy! We’re actually on our way to Canada as I write this and we plan on sailing to Quebec in 2023 :)
Sophie your the perfect French woman,no matter what you eat or what you do you are perpetually Beautiful 😍
Broken anchor chain...? Cheap click bait. 5:40 in and only at fire on the beach instead. Too slow getting there, I'm out of here. Much later for this!
t'es bonne en montage sophie.
Woe, to much face-time on the camera......... it should only be 3 - 7 % of production time. You will thank me later.
