Hi Sierra & Billy, very cool video, since we purchased our Corsair 880, we added a Rainman portable water maker to the boat, our is powered by a Honda engine, it's been averaging about 37 gph of fresh water, it's so nice to get a fresh water shower, Julie's not to keen on the salt water shower. Our next item we are adding is some form of portable air conditioning,.for weekend cruising I think something like a swamp cooler might fit the bill, we have an ice maker on board so ice would not be a problem and if its to hot we well just keep our asses home in our condo in Key Largo and suck up the Central AC
Looked like a fun day(s) sailing, The really nice thing about a sailboat is that you don't have to make reservations at a campground, just throw out the hook. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
I'm not a sailor but this trimaran excites the HECK out of me! ... every time I see it cuttin' thru the H2O. Thanks for including the audio of surrounding environment, also! :D I'm not a big 'looped-music' guy so I love to hear what you are actually experiencing - boats, trains & planes included lol
I know diddly squat about sailing but I just want to say just how much I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Thank you, and very best wishes to you both.
You guys are living my dream. I chartered a 30 foot Hunter in 1990 from Florida Yacht Charters and Sales and took two weeks, sailed from Miami to Key West, and back. Learned what Fantasy Fest was all about, beat myself up tacking on the way back in 30 knot North East winds in Hawks Channel. It was so rough that the goop on the bottom of the fuel tank killed our fuel filter. Lesson Learned: Bic Pen works fine as a stop-gap replacement for a gummed up fuel Filter. Not recommended for long motor life though…
Living all our dreams............ I cant believe I am 70 y.o. already. I want to do what you do so bad! But I am battery operated now with a cardiac pacemaker. Happy to be alive, but wish I did what I wanted to do, 30 years ago................ Life is short, play hard, and love long!
What a fun sail! My little boat won't go that fast but it does surf and yeah, that is fun! Sierra is a genuine mermaid. Thanks for the tip about microfiber towels too.
After a huge binge watching 3 weeks I am upto to date and then your latest vlog pops up - been a great journey and looking forward to seeing all the future experiences you will share
Vice Captain Jetty. What a happy, happy dog. When he's sitting up there helping you helm he is truely smiling. And when there is action in the cockpit his is looking to help. Love you jetty.
I love that you're using a bag closer as a pointer when describing the wind! LOL I love those things...but always running out of them. Good description of the winds that you're looking for, though. Thanks.
Have enjoyed your videos. I am a F28R owner and would like to pass along a tip I figured out in the Sea of Cortez. If the swells are bumping you and your main around, rig a preventer from the down wind ama to the main. Not having the main flopping around in swells makes the ride more comfortable.
If you pull on the traveller on the leeward side it will help stop the flogging of the mainsail in those confused seas. You obviously need to release during the jibe but it also helps manage the mainsail when jibing. Centreboard vibration that's when you know you're really cooking along.
On my old F24, we used to strap the main (sheet in almost all the way) right before a jibe. After the turn is complete and the kite has come across you can adjust the traveler and ease the main back out. Less wear and tear on the boat. Keep up the cool videos.
generally we do the exact same thing but when the wind is pretty light I’ll just handle the main sheet across and absorb the pull on the other side of the jibe. Not something I would recommend to anyone but it works fine in light winds and you don’t have to sheet in and out a ton of line
Billy, when you are “Surfing the tops of the waves” if you are in the Gulf Stream that is one of the most favorable places to be speed wise for a sailboat. You were capturing the energy of the 1)Wind and 2) Current of the Gulf Stream. No wonder you showed up to Biscayne Bay So quickly! Happy Sailing ⛵️
On Adrenaline we had that but not on this boat. It’s a slightly different hum and most definitely from the daggerboard and/or rudder. It’s subtle but if it’s not subtle you can sand a 45degree angle on the trailing edge of the boards to reduce it.
On the high speed runs with the kite up, you three (dog included) should have life jackets on. If anyone falls over, the boat continues blazing downwind gaining distance from MOB quickly. Then only one left on to singlehandedly get the chute down. By that time, you're 1/2 mile away and will slowly sail close-hauled to point of incident, from where the person may have drifted significantly. From experience, I know it's 45 minutes to an hour in the water waiting for single-hander to return to scoop you up under high-speed conditions.
Yeah dead down in light air can be a drag... your tri moving at about the speed of the wind behind you means no breeze in your face at all! yuk. Love the channel, you guys are a joy to 'hang out' with. Cool long sleeve t-shirt dude! Beautiful chute... and nice description of how to trim. I'd love to sail with you!
Welcome to the Corsair Trimaran World, we purchased a Corsair 880 sport shortly after Billie & Sierra did a in depth review of the 880 Sport and when they hit 21.2 knots I knew that was our future boat......
I noticed your Navionics program, so what do you use for your Weather? Is it an overlay program with it, or do you use another tablet,device for weather separate?
Looks SOOOO fun. (Of course I sit here in my aircon room while you're out there in the heat and humidity.) Armchair sailing at its best. I WANT a Corsair 880! BTW, does it rock at night? I heard it can.
The way we have it loaded up for cruising both floats sit just slightly in the water at rest so no it does not rock. When it is empty one float always sits out of the water and it can rock just a bit then.
@@Tulasendlesssummer Thanks. Was thinking if tri's did rock...would be cool to have some sort of balloons you could inflate on them at night. Or if the floats could be lowered a bit. You guys rock!
Speaking of comfort, how hot is it down there? Do you have A/C that you run occasionally? This might have been shot a couple of months ago when it was far cooler that it is now.
Tavernier Key?!?! You were a hundred yards from my house!!! I might have passed you that day on my boat on my way out or in from the reef!! Another great video!!! One day hopefully we can meet up!!! You owe me a day of sailing!! :)
I hope you show at least some of the big day . That and please go over what new boat it is that you are having built . I forget what you told us . I know it is a cat but what size and so on is something I forget

Hi from St. Augustine. I look for you guys every chance I get. I’m sure you’re well north of here by now though. Sierra you’ve gotten even prettier through the years.
Yes and no... when you're sailing the sea's no its never comfortable BUT it's a hella experience! When you're at anchor YES! or at least it should be. But then to each their own!
It would be shadowed by the main if the main was up. Plus these boats sail much quicker vmg’s on hotter gybing angles if you keep it planing. Something we were t doing a great job at during the beginning of the video because the wind was a bit light
The kite I am thinking of flies about 400 feet in the air. I think there is often higher wind speeds up there. It flies in a figure 8 pattern. Check it out. It seems like it would be right up your alley. ruclips.net/video/lq4HHreKicI/видео.html
I'm just over here dreaming about this boat and all the things I would do and places I would go..... I have a family house in Athens Greece it's basically been a life dream to sail from Florida to Greece! I want to do this so bad.
Your sailboat should be comfortable because of the amount of time and thousands of hours the three of you spend on it I am looking forward to seeing the new yacht 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Getting a bunch of ice on a burn INSTANTLY often shuts down the generation of the cytokine messengers that initiate the inflammatory processes and may prevent the blistering and pain. Ice doesn't have to be on there very long. Maybe five minutes.
Please Read. A few months back when you was getting ready to head off off on the boat for longer than your little day trips that she was doing that at the beginning when he was getting used to new pup and you asked the question do you need to take the generator and I said absolutely positively there is people that was out there has been selling for 15 years and they’ve needed a generator so many times just a little one and I said take it. Do you regret for one secondTaking your viewers advice and taking your little generator with you?
My wife just said "tell them to drop into Black Point Marina, and we'll host a reception for their South Florida fans" which is a real compliment to you both! We're really enjoying your videos, and especially your story-telling. Keep it up guys!
Sierra has to be one of the most attractive women on RUclips,she should really think about doing a bikini calendar because she fills out a bikini very nicely

Loved the two camera view of raising the spinnaker. You three rock!

Happy Sailing ⛵️
You guys are so fun and enjoyable to watch!
Oooo..Love the sailing footage...nice...fun to watch....Hey!...your shop has really cool stuff...hmmm.
The hum is from the wind caressing the rigging like guitar strings .... it's a magical part of sailing!
On Adrenaline we had that but not on this boat. It’s a slightly different hum and most definitely from the daggerboard and/or rudder. It’s subtle but if it’s not subtle you can sand a 45degree angle on the trailing edge of the boards to reduce it.
just curious ,what speed is comfortable to maintain when you're motoring...how far can you go?
Jetty had a BIG smile on :) I've said it before but that little tri looks a whole lot of fun
On the high speed runs with the kite up, you three (dog included) should have life jackets on. If anyone falls over, the boat continues blazing downwind gaining distance from MOB quickly.

It can be a challenge fitting a Bimini on the Tris.
Thanks for sharing the tip on the towels.
I like the video! You’ve really helped me determine that I will stick with my motor boat, way too much work! 😅
Thanks for posting and sharing. Sorry to hear that Sierra got the rope burn. I know how badly that smarts. Best wishes.
Top o the morning to you and the Captain too! Great vid very informative, scooting right along.
Kudos for role modelling sun protection for Jetty and yourselves
Yeah dead down in light air can be a drag... your tri moving at about the speed of the wind behind you means no breeze in your face at all! yuk. Love the channel, you guys are a joy to 'hang out' with. Cool long sleeve t-shirt dude! Beautiful chute... and nice description of how to trim. I'd love to sail with you!
Hope you guys went into the lagoon right there in key biscayne and there is a restaurant right there boaters cove.
I love to watch your comfortable sailing. It’s great. That’s a great boat.
You two are such addictive personalities. Great couple, and don't ever get mad at each other, haha!
I don't know how it is now but in the early 1970's John Pennekamp(sp) park off Key Largo was beautiful snorkeling.
Comfort ... One mans comfort is another mans torture ! Billy said it all !! Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
We tie the boom to one side while going down wind to prevent mainsail flap
Boom was bangin' pretty good. Did you consider a preventer? New Corsair owner, so I'm actually curious. Thanks!

@@scable-eq7bp Sweet! 970 here, but I have some work to do to it before we splash it. Code 0, but no Asym (yet).
Awesome episode. Y’all are such beautiful people!
Agree 100%
Hard work but a fantastic lifestyle. So pleasurable.

how do you guys only have 147k subs??? ive been watching since you had the trawler love from AUSTRALIA 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
Me too buddy lol!!
Speaking of comfort, how hot is it down there? Do you have A/C that you run occasionally? This might have been shot a couple of months ago when it was far cooler that it is now.
Never knew a sailboat could go that fast until I started watching your channel
It's a trimaran. They are notoriously fast at the expense of everything else.
Our 20ton cruising catamaran did 19kts in our last episode...but for us cruisers....that is scary fast and not to be repeated often 😅
I love how Jetty looks so nonchalant
Tavernier Key?!?! You were a hundred yards from my house!!! I might have passed you that day on my boat on my way out or in from the reef!! Another great video!!! One day hopefully we can meet up!!! You owe me a day of sailing!! :)
A fitting vlog after we just got 0 sleep in an awful swell! Thanks for sharing
At the very end with Sarah diving in the water. That was epic. You should work that into your intro sometime.
Every sailboat has a sweet spot and you know when you find it
I hope you show at least some of the big day . That and please go over what new boat it is that you are having built . I forget what you told us . I know it is a cat but what size and so on is something I forget
You guys are awesome been bench watching
Never sailed, thanks for your vid. How come you don't have a pfd for your dog.thanks again like your Channel

What would happen if you flew a big kite in a dead downwind. Wouldnt that give you more speed?
It would be shadowed by the main if the main was up. Plus these boats sail much quicker vmg’s on hotter gybing angles if you keep it planing. Something we were t doing a great job at during the beginning of the video because the wind was a bit light

What is the chart program you are using on your iPad ? Thanks
It looks like the Navionics program, a great platform, and u can use it on multiple devices at the same time.!
We love Navionics:) Billy talk about our set up here : ruclips.net/video/cba7OnTQbs0/видео.html

Really nice video. Thanks
Nice to see a video

So awesome guys!
Love the music, love the episode, love the lifestyle and most of all Jetty, Sierra and Billy! Sierra, you know you have that Cameron Diaz Vibe! Lol
Music choice is much gooder,,,, lol it really is 👍
surprised you don't wear gloves when you are going for performance. I've learned that lesson in sailing.
cool dog.... mine would be jumping in the water all the time ugh
Any time you are on the ocean side of Key Largo you have to stop at Dry rock reef and snorkel Christ of the abyss.
we are planning on going there after hurricane season :-) good info, thanks!
I am so jealous. My wife and I would love to do what you are doing.
Such a fun video…
