---------------------™Sailing Yacht Ruby Rose - OFFICIAL---------------------
Thanks for the video and a description of the process. Everything, in my dealings with Precision, has been proactive and professional. It's nice to hear from a company that wants your business. We are in the process of ordering our sails from Precision. So far, it's been a joy. Looks like you went with the laminate radial. Those are good looking sails.
We honestly had such a good experience with Precision and would recommend them without hesitation. The discount is such a good deal, I'm so glad you could benefit from it!
Thank you David. Give me a call and we can finalize the details for you new sails.
Ron, you will be hearing from us soon enough. Actually, I sent a request for a quote on a new main and asym. We are crunching the numbers to see what we might be able to do.
Got to agree. In 2002 we used Hong-Kong sails to replace the sails on our Westerly. We used their on-line service. It was brilliant. We sent them the old sails and discussed the issues and changes we wanted. 4 Weeks later we had probably the best performing sails we have ever had and the old sails back as spares, cost wast 50% less than the big 4. The big boys need to take note. Same material, same stitching thread and UV protection etc. Half the price. Sail cloth material is a fast developing technology. Cutting and fabrication is down to skill and QA. When we need new canvas on Impavidus, We dont think we will be using OEM! We will be getting bespoke!! Sail safe. Ant & Cid xx (SV Impavidus)
Thank you Nick & Terysa for this amazing video! It's been an absolute pleasure working with you on your new sails and everyone at Precision Sails is looking forward to watching your adventures through the Med this season.
I don't even own a boat, but i now know where to get my sails if I ever do. I love a company that works with technology, offers a good price, and communicates with their customers.
Precision Sails - please send me a private message- I would be interest in a new set of sails for my F&C 44’ Ketch....
SY Explorar Conmigo I’d fill out the quote form on the link in the description if you want to contact them mate. Cheers.
Nick, you're killin' every time! Thanks for sharing
Awesome as always, I love technical Tuesday.
Nick and Terysa, congrats on the beautiful new sails from Precision Sails! Ruby Rose is going to love those new wings. Looking forward to next video as always!!!
Another beautiful video glad to see y'all was back on the boat and the new Sail's look great on the boat can't wait to see you put them to use thank you for sharing fairwinds
Nick your a natural at technical tuesdays! Good job. You guys are putting out great videos.
Leave them in the bag, you don't want to get them dirty!
I went through the process of buying a main from Precision about 2 years ago. I didn't know the first thing about sails and they walked me through the whole process. I can't say enough good stuff about these folks and can't imagine buying from anybody else in the future. Ron absolutely rocks!
Great work! Your knowledge, presentation and production were outstanding. Very impressive without boasting!
WOW! Thrice WOW! What beautiful sails - never seen such a good cut and shape so perfect. Happy sailing!
Looking looking forward to the testing and sail trim videos. We are looking to replace ours perhaps in the next two years. Love the videos thank you for the time it takes to make them!!
Glad to hear all went well with your sail order. Because of you guys, as well as Delos and Matt and Jessica, I ordered four sails for my ketch from Precision Sails and so far the process has been as you describe. I am hoping to take delivery in a few weeks. It's very exciting getting crisp new sails. Thank you guys and I very much enjoy your candid vids.
love it when a plan comes together love
It’s such a rare pleasure to order on line and get things smoothly. Happy for you guys
One of your best videos - On point and enjoy the videos pertaining to actual sailing and the boat. Look forward to the sail trim video. Thanks
That's why we do these technical videos as well as our vlogs- something for everyone! Glad you liked it!
A new sailing couple and knowing and sailing with Wynn's is well impressive at least! I always enjoy the Wynn's sailing videos as they are one of a handful I follow in catamaran sailing! Thanks for your sharing of mono-hulls!
Excellent sails, simply delivered. :-)
Wonderful video on your sail ordering process. Very reassuring.
Nice video guys. I was looking for an asymmetrical spinnaker for my Leopard and as the Ullman sail loft was in Cape Town ordered my sail ( they have the specs as they make the factory boat sails) and flew down to Cape Town did the tour of the factory and left with my sail in the Colours I wanted.😊 its a great feeling flying a new sail for the first time and It’s amazing to tour a sail loft especially a busy one. Do it if you ever get a chance.
Great story . Being n ex DHL pilot in the Caribbean it’s good hear that their service is still great.
Looking forward to a sail trim vid!
I just received my new headsail from Precision Sails last week, referral credit to Nick, they look fantastic and it was a pleasure dealing with them, the price was competitive, and I am about to order a new main from them as well. Thanks for the referral, Nick.
No worries my friend. Did you use our discount code ? If not, check it out in the description
Really looking forward to the sail trip tutorial. I suck most at Thanks!!!
Thank you, another great vlog.....
Wonderful description of the sale ordering process.
All I know about sailing I learned from you guys but that is one fine looking sail to my landlubber eye.
Jennifer Lawrence heh, it’s definitely a beautiful sail 😊
Excellent video!
I bought their sails last year and and very happy with quality and service.
congratulations. new season, new sails, "new destination(s) and for us also a new adventure. Wins in every which way.
Absolutely Hoofin video #TeamRubyRose the music in this vid was outstanding, information supplied, Outstanding. looking forward to the trimming part. #FairWindsAndFollowingSeas
whatever happened to nicks disposition and energy recently..... its a plus. yer on camera presence is back to enjoyable
great info, value in this video
Great information!
Nice update on a project that most long term cruisers must eventually go through. If I remember correctly, Precision also has great deals on used sails, many of which are brand new and never have been hoisted.
They have a guarantee that if the sail doesn’t fit, they make you a new one, rather than recut the existing one. The stuff on their website are the returns. Never used.
Good supplier Nick & Terysa. Bobby from sailing doodles had a spinnaker from Precission Sails fitted to the vessel he took to Thailand for Gulf Charters,. The owners and Bobby thought it was the bees knees, really looked the business when they let it out on the crossing, great company by all accounts.
That main looks lovely and doesn't having full length battens make a massive difference.
Lovin’ it!
I am on my second season with my new Precision Sails head sail my my Catalina 30. Still extremely happy with the entire process. I have a Doyle loft down the street and they were still 40 % more money. The quality was everything I had hoped for. Very pleased. Was really surprised on how stiff new Sails are ⛵️
Once again: the info was very useful, also the extra info about sail trim you provided in the WhatsApp group. Thank you!
Cheers Rob! Although sounds like Jouke could give us lessons on sail trim! 😉⛵
@@sailingrubyrose One day my friends, one day....
I'm in Valencia as well and currently shopping for new sails. Will try Precision Sails as well.
Precision is definitely making a splash in the market. Great news for Ruby Rose.
I purchased a new main and headsail from Precision for delivery this spring and I agree with you regarding the professionalism of team at Precision Sail. I had regular updates from knowledgable people throughout the design and fabrication process. Can't wait to get them in hand and on the boat!
Bryan of S/V Pixel
Thank you Bryan, once the sails are installed please forward some pictures.
Well shoot. My new Precision mainsail is in the mail (shipped two days ago). Looks like I missed out on a discount! Congrats on the new sails
What MacBook Pro are using and what software for your editing for the videos we love your videos and your editing style thank you so much for sharing can’t wait for the next video upload
Long may your big jib draw! ❤️🇨🇦
I bought a spinnaker from Precision a few years ago. Like your story, great price and exception quality.
Thank you Sean, if you have any pics of your Hobie 33 with the spinnaker up please email it over or post on our Facebook Page.
Thanks for sharing 😎
How come whenever I get ready to run up sails in a marina the wind won't stop blowing! :-) Nice quality track system is probably as much to thank as the sail maker when it came to how easily it all went together. Congrats.
We ordered sails from Precision sails and couldn't be happier with their customer support. Our main concern was that when we got the sail if there was something was wrong we'd be SOL. Well - that scenario happened! We have a furling mast and the baton straps wouldn't fit through the slot. It took a single email explaining the problem with a photo and they immediately got us through warranty and started on a fix for us which ended up being a remake of the sail vs ripping it apart and changing the design of the batton pockets. The remade sail should be here in a couple of weeks. Superb customer service!
razm28 so glad you also had a great experience! I guess issues like that are inevitable when you’re doing things from afar but as you say, it’s how the company handles the situation that makes you a happy customer.
Excellent 👍
Another great Video. loved it as usual. But really Nick did you expect anything less from a CANADIAN supplier.. come on now, we are the best !
looking forward to see you sail and some more great videos!
Wow great service and price not to mention how pretty they are....
Precision do exactly what sailors want! It's incredibly hard for the big mainland. Us/uk/eu to meet the price for all the usual reasons. I guess the tariff man in the USA did not see them yet and apparently not the eu. The one thing the local guys could do is the amazing customer service of Precision , do they? Cheers Warren
I really did not like the title of this vid. The content is spot on as usual. With love, Ken
Boosted board FTW!!
Damn!! That long board is sweet, I had no idea such thing existed, I want one!
Phil and Lyra it’s a boosted board! It’s super fun and occasionally comes in handy when we need to transport sails around a big marina 😂
Sailing Yacht Ruby Rose right on👍 you guys are awesome
Are you going to sail into the Adriatic? Would like to see your take on the Croatian coast,...
Need an explicit tag for that unboxing
At 6:54 I thought Tyresa was gonna have to hose you down buddy. Haha but I understand that feeling when it comes to the stuff that makes Ruby Rose sexier.
Do you expect to get some extra knots with the new sails? Would it be silly expensive to get the Ruby Rose logo on them?
Very informative video. What brand of sunglasses were you wearing in this video mate??
Oakley frogskins my friend
Congrads to the new sails.
But what amazed me most was the board.
Did you ever have it on a flight?
Hey mate, the lithium battery makes me too scared to try and take it on a plane. It’s only 99w so under the 100w that airlines and the tsa allow, but don’t want to take the risk.
@@sailingrubyrose Thank you for information. I mostly sail charter - so sadly no part for me.
DHL are brilliant. I had a package sent by Royal Mail from England to here in France.
It got lost , & eventually sent back to supplier (after 6 weeks) He resent it with DHL who got it here in less than a week. As for Precision, I saw another boat decide to buy from them about a year ago I think.
They were very happy with Precisions design & fabric & all round service
simon talbot was actually shocked at how impressed we were with DHL!
Errr, no @@sailingrubyrose
How do the sails look and feel at different points of sail? Could you video tape their shape (especially when close hauled)? Cheers
Good video and great topic. What are your thoughts on taking receipt of your sails or equipment in Gibraltar for tax reasons?
And great sail loft. They made our big kite for our cat. Looking to them now for a new main and Genoa.
Hey, we looked to take delivery in Gib. It didn’t work out as Gibraltar impose a 10% tax anyway.
You then have to sail away from Europe .
Great vid but.... for some reason today (April 9, 2019) there doesn't appear to be a thumbs up nor down nor share. Has anyone else noticed this. BTW, the same thing was absent on Plane Savers. Cheers
Thanks i need a new head sail
Great video guys! One day could you show us how and why you “take out a reef” in strong winds (sorry I’m a motor boater) x
motor boating is fun (are we talking about the same thing?) :)
We'll see if we can work that into the sail trim episodes although don't want the topic to become *too* big.
Are you asking a question about the difference between the reef going in or out. I am guessing Nick is talking about making the area smaller in high winds and using weird sailor language
You actually “put a reef in” when the winds pick up, and then “shake a reef out” when the wind speed drops off and you need more sail area. This applies to the Main Sail that isn’t on an in-mast furling system. Mainsail and headsail furling systems (rolling them up) instead of raising and lowering the sails have greatly simplified the process of reefing (reducing sail area). Mainsail furling is still sort of a religious debate, some hate it, some love it, each camp has their own reasons.
I still miss the faded intro
Glad it all worked out well.
I'm curious about your parasail (?) could you show us how that works please?
How are you commenting 6 days ago when I just got this notifications and it looks like it was uploaded today!???
Time traveler...
Jennifer Lawrence our Patrons get access a week early 😊
2212db thanks for the suggestion mate! We’ll see what we can do 😊
Just one request.. can you start these videos with "holy technical tuesday" ?
Never thought I'd see my home city mentioned on this channel. PS - Langford BC is not located in the middle of the province, it's on Vancouver Island.
at least they found the Greater Vancouver area... should we mention Desolation Sound,? (Warmest ocean water north of Cabo)
What did they cost???
I hope another SV doesn't get made, but their sale is almost done. They turned their old sails into product beach bags, purse, tots. etc. Just an idea of something to do with your old sails. : ) peace
Looking for a new main for my Dehler 36. Can't see the discount link you attached 🤔
Nice and educational video, thanks. Had new sails, main and genoa from Elvstrøm last year, for my Dufour 43, and will look at Precision for a new code 0, and spinnaker. Just one question, as I am currently in Villanova, south of Barcelona, what was the customs costs (if any), you had to pay for your sails, having them delivered in Spain.
Precision dealt with all the costs. So zero cost to us
Great music during the sail presentation
I did a new mainsail over the web. They gave me a sail with small roach. Saving cloth I suppose. I wasn't smart enough to request this at outset, lost 2 feet of roach in the deal. Not happy.
Great Video, Thanks. I had asked you a question the other day about your UV strip, that is in fact answered in this video (apologies) you came straight back to me (thanks) I have asked precision sails for a quote. Can I ask what material you went for.
Looking forward to seeing what you think of them in use.
All the best with them.
Graeme.
Cheers mate. Yes it’s a sunbrella strip. Make sure you tell Precision we sent you and claim your discount ;)
@@sailingrubyroseI certainly will. I mean what type of sail material did you go for -:)?
Good looking sails! Love that boogie board, I think that’s what you called it? Could I trouble you with the brand of the board? Cheers
Boosted board mate
Sailing Yacht Ruby Rose checking them out now! Thank you for the info. Looking forward to the upcoming videos. Thanks for keeping it real. Cheers from Texas! Yee ha!
I enjoyed this video a great deal but it brings me to a question not mentioned. What do you do whith the old sails? I understand that storage aboard is limited so I was wondering.
We gave them away.
I was trying to think about what else I would add to Ruby Rose if I was minded to buy her, possibly a single electric winch - if I think of anything else could you source it? Seriously, great video, as usual and very helpful. Personally, we don’t get the Catamaran outcome, but we all have our own preferences. Happy sailing ;)
Gary Smith she has an electric winch 😊
Did I miss the Cat vs Mono result? Guessing you're staying with a mono Ruby for now if you've bought her new clothes????!!!
Put an affiliate link for the booster board in the description!
There you go mate.

Hi guys.
Sails....I learn somthing new every day. But if you take away the material and maybe sail battens, Is it more than ONE way for a sail designer to sew a sail together? Or can this be like with a suit? or a par of jeans.One fit nice, another like a bag of potatoes.
I do understand you have to measure the foot and hight eg
Fair winds ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/),,,,,,,,,,,,
I love the skateboard. Can you send info on it. Thanks
Boosted boards mate
There is a company called Hong Kong Sails that used to come to the Annapolis boat show. I got a quote from them one time and it was $7,000 less then one of the big sail lofts. Can you share a range for your sails cost: $7,000 $10,000 $12,000 etc...
iandi Boats I am also curious
Did you have a particular reason for changing out your old sails like worn out , stretched or falling apart. When you ordered your sails did you have a cut and material in mind or did Precision recommend a cut and material to suit? Were they helpful in suggesting the best weight of material as well? Did they give you suggested wind speeds for use before shortening sails. Sorry for all the questions.
TBone MC hey mate, our old jib was very worn out and needed changing. Our main was still okay but we decided to change both out to really maximise performance. Precision were great in advising and answering all our questions, we gave them some basic guidelines but left the details up to them since they’re the experts. We’ve now sailed with our new sails and are very happy.
Did precision suggest the extra cars on the main too and thanks so much for your answer.
Nice video. I was wondering how much spanish customs fees were influencing the final price. Can you tell?
There is local tax to pay. However it was all dealt with by precision
@@sailingrubyrose thanks. so the quote they give is "door to door"?
You missed a step - what do you do with the old sails? There must be limits to how many sails you have space for; you can't surely keep all the old ones as spares. I have that problem with a damged sail I replace, just nowhere to put it
We gave them to a chap on our pontoon who had worse sails than our old ones.
Well done mate. My sail was too damaged and I think I will actually cut it up for work cloth - rain collection, shade etc. I love the tri-radial cut of your new sails too, should work brilliantly upwind.@@sailingrubyrose

Why Precision Sails?? Nothing against them, but the reasoning in choosing them is missing. I think the message is that any maker that has been in business for a while makes quality sails. I'm considering new sails. Right now Rolly Tasker because I seen a set on another boat and they seem to have the best prices. That said, I'm a bit reluctant, so any insight would be wonderful.
Hold on. Did you just have a relatively painless boat job? Next you're going to trot out a unicorn and have lunch with Bigfoot! ;-)
BayAreaBlues bahaha true
Did you consider having your logo on the main? I don't even know if it's possible, too expensive, etc. just curious.
They have a small logo on their main as well...... at 9:20...
@@andersjakobsen9906 That's the company logo (precision sails). I was curious about a ruby rose logo. You can see it more clearly @9:30
Yes, of course @@@rjtumble
I`m a man full of excuses ;-) And today I pick the one that I`m at my summerhouse, and streaming from my mobile, I had turned down the quality of the stream. I saw the red sail and thought I saw the Ruby rose logo. Sorry sir, my mistake.
Not my first and certanly not my last ;-) Fair winds ,,,,,,,,,,/),,,,,,,,,
rjtumble we didn’t really consider it, we like our sails to be clean and just look like good sails rather than distracting the eye with logos. Purely personal preference. Maybe we’d get a logo on a coloured sail?
you could kill the music.....
Is there a Ruby Rose logo spinnaker in the future? 🤔
We'd love that!! But we have an amazing Parasailor that is in great condition, so we'll stick to that :)
@@sailingrubyrose You guys are amazing and I love what you do, keep up the great work! (Side note: I did have a Ruby Rose sighting when Nick sailed through the ICW at Cape Canaveral!)
Well, did they have that new sail smell??????
They did indeed my friend
@@sailingrubyrose I'm looking forward to the rest of your season! Be well and fair winds.
What did you do with your old sails? Are they now backup? Are/can they be recycled? Go to sail heaven? Just curious what happens when they come to their end of life.
The old sails had about a year or two of life left in them. We gave them to a boat on our pontoon as their sails were worse than our old ones, and they didn’t have the money for new ones.
@@sailingrubyrose This is great that they got recycled!!!
If they're not planning on keeping them, there's a company here in Maine that recycles old sails into beautiful tote bags. Here's a link: seabags.com (Disclaimer: I have no association with this company other than my wife has one of their totes).
The white dots from the blinds is the most distracting thing ever.
