    “I’m just an amateur”. One of the things I love about you Sam is that you make sailing relatable to couch sailors like me despite the fact that you’ve sailed almost every ocean on this planet. Makes me think I could do this one day too. 👍

    My favorite part about your sailing videos is you actually sail a great deal of the time. I often see sailing vessels motor up the second the wind dies.
    I totally understand the desire to get moving but I always enjoy your willingness to relax and enjoy the moment.

    Sam, I met you in Titusville a few months ago. I was the guy that said hi Sam as I came into the dock and you were working on your free boat. Anyways I was just in the German Alps and watched many paragliding flights and it was pretty amazing. Thought of you since you said at the time you'd be going to the Alps after I mentioned how much we all enjoyed your flights I believe in Scotland. Enjoy your sail through Europe.

    The really big waves at nazare you see photos of only break 2-3 times per year
    The rest of the time its still big (and dangerous for navigation) by normal standards
    The record breaking waves are the result of the most intense winter storms per season
    No one would be out sailing anyway; the local fishermen probably stay in as well

      Tie a piece of yarn (12" or so) to the middle of the pole, and it makes a great telltale. Easy then to set it perpendicular to the apparent wind.

    Good to stay busy and good with putting up. . .but I agree with everyone else, for not racing, a code zero or Asym is 90% of the spinnaker with 20% of the set up. Can still use the pole but don’t really need the uphaul/down haul. . .Super light don’t need to roller reefing. . .Just an easy low wind sail. . .Love that you put the time into the spinnaker, but it looked like you had it resting on the forestry. . .It might not have been, but that’s not safe.

    I feel uneasy to point anything to a great sailor with so much experience but I have to: 4:30 Beware Sam do not let the pole rest on the forestay as the lateral force is translated in a much stronger longitudinal pull on the stray that could break it (or the pole).
    Might not be critical in your case but why tempt fate when so much sh%t can go wrong already.
    I know you knew, ,just absentmindedness I guess.
    Great video again and thank you for sharing your journey with us .

  • @keithgarwick7029
    @keithgarwick7029 11 месяцев назад

    Good point on the spinniker pole - keep it perpendicular to the wind and lifted so that the foot of the kite is as level as possible. They are effective downwind and very pretty. If you want to get rich, figure out a cleat that automatically plays out spinniker sheet as the boat heels excessively to avoid broaching.
