DON’T Sail Downwind Without THIS | Sailing Soulianis - Ep. 107
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 май 2022
- Sailing is tough, and often uncomfortable. Anything that makes life easier or more comfortable onboard means you’ll sail more, and enjoy it more.
We’ve had a spinnaker/whisker pole onboard since a fellow sailor donated one to us in Mobile, Alabama. We’ve tried to rig it once or twice, but never had all the required gear to make it work. Now with the necessary lines and hardware rigged up, and a 24-hour downwind run ahead, the whisker pole is put to the test. It was glorious!
After a gentle downwinder from Cayo Costa, Lauren and Renata jump ship for the night. Kirk’s father joins him for a double-handed downwind run from Fort Myers to Marathon, surfing up to 7.5 knots in breaking waves, catching fish, snagging crab pots, and sharing secrets they’d never want anyone else to know.
Hope you enjoy!
Lauren, Kirk & Renata

You're very fortunate to enjoy this time with your father, the sailing. It is the journey not the destination😀
I'm afraid I was a bit emotional as you and your dad set sail on your adventure.
We were not sailors, but I was gifted to spend lots of time with my dad growing up. He was a master woodsman, and he taught me so much about the woods and the balance of creation.
As this is the closing hour of his 117th birthday, I was touched by the time you could spend with your dad. Thanks for sharing this with me.
Never allow an opportunity to pass without exploiting time with your dad.
Awesome sailing footage. Renata has seemed to settle into sailing life. Good to see your Dad enjoying a fast passage with you. Reminds me of good times with my Dad. More of that to come for us. Great episode.
hey family it's good to see your beautiful faces and to see that you're all doing real well sailing along living life and apparently beast mode for some folks super mom over there you go mom and dad's not doing too bad behind the wheel either. the one thing I really loved about the video is how from start to finish you guys put a smile on my face even when your dad was remarking about the passage I just had a smile and the whole time and when we're not a laughed I laughed so thanks if nobody told you today I love you! 💃🐹🥰💕
🌎💚🌍💚🌏
Splendid, perfect amount of talking to sailing. Some just awesome framed shots. Felt like I just took a sail on my lunch break.
.... pure awesomeness ..... that front carrier thingy for Renata .... the concentration, or is it alertness watching while you where making the batter for the bananas coconut bread Lauren, it sure looked good by the way .... had to chuckle re the not wanting to leave the boat as much. Sorta goes hand in hand with your declaring when you also stated that it would be the last sailing for just the two of you and you did not know how your priorities would change and what your life would look like. That was me summing up what I took from what you said. .. smilin .. from what we see through your lens would have to say you have created a mighty fine balance and have adapted well .... love your hats, how the brim is bigger at the back ... just imagining Renata growing up on the beaches in remote places of the world. Taking part in all the water sports and exploring what the land has to offer .. quite something really! ... absolutely brilliant how you, Kirk make sure Lauren knows that she is appreciated, awesomeness to say the least .... Yup! .. bin there Kirk, where have finally done something and wished had done it sooner because it turned out to be a game changer, we live and learn. Stack-pack, yes. Maybe your next boat will have in-mast-furling, which you already know if it does or not. ..smilin ... observation ... I must point out that I am not a user of sunnies as the Auzies say. I notice that 2 of the 3 sets of peepers find it bright and do wear sunnies ..... looks like you had a good son, dad time there Kirk and a fun sail .... see you are closing in on the 100K sub milestone, well done team Soulianis ... thx for sharing .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....
Not many people are aware that the Great Lakes are far rougher to sail than any ocean. As we started our Loop trip from Huron, Ohio and at the latter part of October, we were buffeted constantly and did a lot of motor sailing. Having a 110 Genacher saved or bacon many times. We had to abandon our trip due to health reasons (both in our mid seventies) and gave up sailing. Oh well, C’est la vie. Watching you provide couch comfort. Thanks to you both.
Square waves on the Great lakes
Sailing, family, sunsets, sunrises, beach time, and plenty of smiles! Another Soulianis classic episode! ♥️✌🏼⛵️
So much love for all of you guys! This is my zen-moment. ♥️🇧🇻🎯
I watch your videos always. I enjoy all three of you. We sailed lake Michigan for over thirty years,how I love to sail.I watched your last one with your father,and enjoyed it very much.You need to spend :MORE: time with him.Both my parents and brothers(2) are gone now and I miss them all.My dad taught me how to fish and hunt and I took him out many times to hunt and fish.God bless you ,your wife and beautiful little girl.Tom
I just must say that baby gets prettier and prettier the older she gets. She is absolutely gorgeous. Great job mom and dad. She is going to have an amazing life sailing around on a sail boat. Stay safe my friends and hello all the way from VA.❤️
Awh, thank you Debbie :)
it looks like dad had a blast........great to see..........
Who had the Wilson? It's familiar but I cannot place it.
Hello to your father, I think a star was born this day.
That was Tom Hanks in Castaway. :)
Thank you for letting us hear the sounds of sailing!
the best, love that you all have SLOWED down. not the rush to get here there everywhere. Love this video. enjoy the adventures.
Lovely to see the progress of Renata in every video.
What a treat to see a video & to see the family team up for trip!!
Loved the sailing bits. Fantastic!
You all have a beautiful family and a great life. Enjoy it while you are young. My wife and I boated on the Chesapeake Bay for over 20 years and loved it. Due to my failing health we had to give up boating, but I watch others enjoy being one the water
You're not only great sailors but also great parents. I love your videos.
🙏
You folks are just the BEST!
You guys are by far one of the highlights of my RUclips experience! Thank you!
Keep sailing, keep smiling.
What an awesome time with your dad, cherish those moments!
Awesome. Love the fort Myers footage. And Dads reaction to the sail. Be safe guys.
Hey guys love that you guys post a video looking forward too see more...
Another great episode, really enjoyed the travel with your dad too...
Good to see you again.
Baby is so cute! You three be safe in your travels!
Nice Sailing, nice to have some dad and son time, all round great episode 👍🏼
Renata is beautiful and a coming movie star, I'm glad to see another post from you all.
Great video. I would give my right arm to sail one more time with my Dad. Cherish it.
Great video!
Making the bread together, looks fun and omg that bread looks so tasty. Lovely beach, good sailing with your dad too. Love the vlog :)
As always, great camera work!!
All Right, I'm one that rarely comments on Utube vids. But, gotta say it. I enjoy your proportions of sailing tech and family fun. Great balance. As a second year sailor in Racine Wisconsin I really appreciate your sailor reason. And as a husband, father and granddad, it's so heartwarming to see you both enjoy your family. Again, great balance.
FWand FS
Great video, I can't wait to take my granddaughter sailing with me.
Love watching you guys. Happy sailing ⛵
Thanks so much Amanda!
Great video. Loved the Bossa Nova vibe in the song at the 8 minute mark.
I like sailing on schooners....smooth and fun, take care you guys...
Good "chapter" this month. I enjoy the sailing...and your baby is pretty cute. This comes from the mom's side I think. I read in "SAIL" magazine last night that some newer sail boats don't want to heave to. I don't want a boat that won't.
How wonderful to have this time with your father!
It was awesome!
This may be common knowledge, but it wasn’t to us. Our anchor snagged a large chain. The windlass picked up the chain, but when we hooked it with the boat hook and dropped the anchor we couldn’t hold the boat hook and lost it. Instead of a boat hook cleat a line and run it under the problem item and cleat the end. Drop the anchor to clear it and get it out of the way. Then you can just unclear one end of your line and drop it. A bit time consuming, but easy.
Good tip Ed! Had I not been able to pop it off with the boat hook, that sounds like a good secondary plan.
Well done
Lovely sailing
Dream on!
It's amazing to see the T37 getting tossed around like that because it is so rare... really hard to upset that boat like that.
Thank you
Great Video, thank you for sharing, I loved the Haul'n Oats reference, thought you were going to say something else but you kept it rated G! You have some great shots of your Dad sailing. Glad he could join you, cherish those times!!! Love his smile! Stay safe and can't wait for the next video!
It was such an awesome trip. Looking forward to a few more of those!
Goodness sorry I didn’t know you were back from the baby vacation. I have missed you. Good luck and good sailing
Thanks Bernie!
Nice one 😊
This past weekend the western end of Lake Superior saw temps in the low 50's with lots of rain and some fog. You are sailing in south Florida in much better conditions and still found time to complain about dealing with sail ties and raising the main on a 37 footer. I hope there was a drink special or half-priced appetizers at Kirk's Pity Party. I will trade places with you any time you want. LOL!! Glad you were able to share a great sail with your dad.
Lol, thanks Tim.
Lovely sail. The way Renata is blowing those raspberries, she will make a great Brass instrument player! 🎺🎺🎺 😎
You are right about the night owl and sunrises. I work in the restaurant business in the Ft. Myres area and can't sleep late at all. Even working night shifts.
Vince Gill went crazy on his first audition for a named band. When he finished the band leader said "that was great. Now show me half of what you know".🙂
Hello from Mukwonago Wisconsin,
Great video
Thanks you!
Crushing it
Hallen Oats LOL... you're the best
In! Been a while!
Great video, excellent sound, editing, and engaging storytelling. Nice to meet your dad. Well done, bro.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ya jus gotta love her !
my fav Jackson Brown in the background... love it
‘Haulin’ Oats’ made me LOL. I might be tired…. 😝
SHEESH! I saw the Thumbnail and thought you were Sam Holms......but he is in Sweeden...love your Channel!
I got rid of the extension pole on my T37 and replaced it with a carbon fiber pole that is must a tad shorter than the regulation spinnaker pole. Much easier to handle and jibe and makes me want to pole out the jib more often because of its ease--as you are learning. I went with the Dutchman system because I did not like the idea of trying to look through a huge bag when looking forward. Seems to it is simpler than the stack pack and works well. FWIW. Come to Maine for a summer. Or go down to San Blas if you are adventurous when you daughter is a bit older.
Great to see another post from the family!! I am a little confused as to where your adventures are going in the future, I saw that you have sold Soulianis recently. Is a larger boat in store for the larger family, or are the adventures going to be more land based with the little for the time being?? Either way, looking forward to seeing more!!
Florida coast, a good place to be with a baby makes three. God bless!
Only 1:48 into the episode,and 2 things. If that sea is the worst, or almost the worst, it will be a wilt till offshore. Take your time. 2n, that bad loooooooks fabulous ‼️ Full recipe please 😊 🎉
Omg. That is one cute little baby you have there. She’s so curious.
Cayo Costa is always nice.
O my gosh! Industrial strength cute!
😂
Get a stack pack cover. Really worth it.
Those bouncy chairs are a life saver. Seems to me that Lauren spoils both of you, one of you had a nap on the beach while she was spending time with babe. I hope you spoil her often. She is looking after Renata, cooking, and editing.
Our Stackpack changed our whole sailing experience. I can't recommend one enough. Bloomin expensive though....
Lovely places, are there no haters there?
Thank you for sharing.
Bri, TopHat 25'
Giant boat cover!? Is that good holding?? Seems like it might be. XD
010622 Hello. So nice to see you again after so long time. Hello Baby Renata.. you're beautiful like your parents. Best of luck and good sailing.
Another good one - do/can you report that boat cover as debris for others to be aware of, or is it just a surprise for others as it was for you?
Things like this used to be easily reported on active captain. Since Garmin took it over it’s a bit more of an arduous task. Nor is it as readily seen. Maybe someone else can share their experience as I haven’t checked it out again recently. But it would be great to have easy access to sharing that type of info again.
In my younger days I went backpacking a lot. My friend and I made a list of all the things we didn't like about backpacking. It was a long list. Then we made a list of all the things we like about backpacking. It had one things on it "we liked it" and that seemed to outweigh all the items on the other list. I suppose sailing is similar.
Wow Wayne, I’ve struggled verbalizing that feeling. That actually sums it up quite nicely!
😀💛
Hi. Never seen a soft shackle like that. Bungee with Kakoki nuts? How did you come up with this and how is it working?
Dude - you found Jimmy Hoffa!
looks like it went kinda all well . but uts sailing .
Sounds good can you put some rum in it ! CHEERS !!!
Great video, I was such as stressed out father when kids were that age, I can't imagine doing it on a boat. Just curios have you ever met Kazza and Brian from SV Delos or talked to them about sailing with a baby?
Theres also RAN sailing ..in the area who are live aboards with a now a toddler and Nomad Citizen.... all on monohulls.
More of a challenge than a cat with kids.
Question what is your boat? And how many feet. Somehow I’ve missed that part …..
Southwest FL is the playground I want to trailer to but it's just so far for me :-(
So how big/small is the SV and what kind? Please
Just wondering if the deck repairs took care of the leak. That was a lot of work for a hopeful repair.
Leak is fixed and deck is solid.
Ya. Been. Blessed. May. God. Be. With. U. Three. Baby. Is. So. Cute. God. Be. With. Ya. Love. The. Vidoes. Thanks.
Congratulations Kirk & Lauren! You made it to Number 29 in our Best of Sailing Life - Beyond Top 20 video for June.
See ruclips.net/video/F4S98uxqB64/видео.html
And view the Top 20 here ruclips.net/video/3WKJGyxQUOM/видео.html
You want an easier sail? Buy a catamaran. Your dad is pretty incredible. Looked like a fun adventure, with all its ups and downs. True sailing. 🙂
When are you two going to finally go somewhere ?? Do you intend to do the pacific or bore us to death staying in America
Instead of water, with all breads including pizza dough, use whole milk, or half+half, and it WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!
We need some leaked info on the new boat plans.
:D we’ve talked about it briefly here and there. But to be honest we’re not really being secretive we just haven’t found the right one yet.
We’ve got a couple episodes planned and will probably get into it more shortly.
This guy is Sam Holmes in a couple years
Ah! The "I NEVER READ It" book/s. Thanks for the video.
:-)
Does J & R let you store your vehicle at their yard, or do you have to store it elsewhere and Uber it back to the boat?
They do allow some vehicle storage. The rate was quite reasonable.
@@SailingSoulianis I would like to lease a dock for six months during the winter anywhere in Southwest Florida, but so far every marina I inquire to is full.
Can you upload the videos in 4K plz? The video is very grainy. Great content, love you guys! :)
Weird, we did upload 4K. You’re the second person to mention something about the quality. We will see if we can contact RUclips.
Baby. So. Cute. Know. Yas. Very. Proud and. Happy
you talked about all the great things you got to do in this video but never mentioned the special time you got to share with your DAD!
It was an incredibly memorable and special trip. We hoped that it was evident :)
