- I totally suck at taking Tiare out for a sail.
Definitely an episode for all the armchair sailors out there.

After a 10 months away earning some boat bucks, I'm really looking forward to diving back into finishing Tiare. And with any luck going full time into creating these videos.
Welcome aboard our sailing catamaran "Tiare", a Wharram Islander 55.
Currently living and sailing around the islands of Japan.
Join with us, as we explore what must be one of the most diverse, fascinating and challenging cruising destinations on the planet.
I look forward to sharing the adventure with you.

------ Wharram Catamarans --------
Tiare is not your usual production catamaran, she is a Wharram Islander 55 and has been our home for 12 years.
Wharram designed catamarans offer an affordable alternative for everyday people to cast off and cruise the world's oceans. Where keeping it simple, means the freedom to stay out for longer.
We hope these videos will inspire others to look at what it means, and takes, to live aboard while sailing the world.
Thanks for sharing the bad with the good. It is helpful for newbies (like self) to know what to look out for. Hope you prep and plans all work out well.
Thanks for the comment. Yep it’s not always beautiful sailing. Days like these really bring out the WTF am I doing moments :)
Plans and prep progressing.
Aye m8! This Q/A thing is very neat and makes sense as an episode element to keep.
Hey there. Good to see you again. I'm sitting on Arana watching your video. What with being out of position and catching Covid, it's the first time I've been aboard in a couple of months. Just a day visit, as I'm staying in the Waikato at the moment. Nice to be aboard again!
I think my first day out again will probably look a bit like yours.
Hi Owen Totally relate to enjoying being onboard, every time I arrive onboard Tiare, all I want to do is sit down and watch the world pass by. Just so relaxing.
Totally different from the last sail !
Well hopefully you’ll be better prepared than I was, even so was a really good learning experience.
Thanks for explaining the details so much more educational than just sharing easy.
Good to see you back.
Toredo, woodworms there?
Thanks for taking the time to watch, much appreciated. From what I understand Toredo wood worm is pretty much everywhere, so yes.
Haha . . great video. .but I think you misquoted me! lol . . I think what I said was that I took heart in the fact that a much more experienced sailor than me ( name YOU) made mistakes and forgot stuff too! LOL. THe sail itself was fun, and I learned a lot from your technical debrief in this video and your Q&A!
Thanks for the comment. Next time we will have the "perfect" sail for you :)
The true adventure starts when things go wrong! But not ideal for a captain with crew. 😅
Great informative episode. Every day out is a learning opportunity. At least you had some competent crew to help work out the cobwebs.
So True, slight
Slightly stressful, but more feeling bad for showing Tiare off in a bad light. Just wasn’t fair on her:)
Nothing more educational than a shakedown. Easy sailing is fun so is a bit of trouble.
@@braithmiller So true😀
Daniel, thank you for answering my question! I just watched this quite by accident and was surprised to hear you say my name.
Hi from NZ!!
Great video, like the others, I think it's important to see the downside and difficulties of sailing as the upsides.
Hi Jordan. Thanks for watching !
Common story with dyneema rigging creeping and going slack. Why I've mainly stuck with steel wire on my own boat.
Thanks for watching the video.
In this case it is not so much the creep, I used the correct heat treated dyneema for the rigging and good splices.
It was the double braid ropes I used for the lashings. I had not pre stretched them enough prior to putting them on and it really showed.
I can only recommend to make a trip up the Norwegian coast as well, when you're over at the Atlantic.
I would so love to go there, with any luck I will be cold weather acclimatized by the time I get that far north? Been following Sailing Uma and looks like an absolutely amazing and beautiful place to sail.
Remember we’ve got hot summers here as well, up to 30°C
@@MiQBohlin haha. True.
Hi, do you have a video of how you support yourself while in japan? Is your wife Japanese? How did you get the boat to japan and how did you decide where to live!
Hi Alan, thanks for the comment and no not yet.
All good questions and will do a video on this.
Smiles
Must have been a real frustrating sail to realize your rigging lashings wasn't tight enough… 😬
Good to hear from you MiQ, yep kinda frustrating :) also annoying as I could have done something before I left.
How are the cost in Japan ? Food , supplies , and repairs ?
Hi Rodney. Good question and something I will do a video about at some stage.
So costs. Can be really inexpensive or really expensive depends a lot.
Food: Is cheap, especially if you eat Japanese style, fresh local veggies and the like. Prices start going up with anything imported．Food definitely cheaper here than New Zealand, although cheeses and meats will be a similar price. Fruit is very expensive in comparison tho.
Supplies: fuel, water, oil cheaper than most developed countries. New parts like ropes, blocks are on a par with most places outside of the US. Best place to buy here is www.yuukoumarine.jp.
Repairs: This can be difficult, Japan is not really set up for sailing, larger pleasure boats of above 35’ are relatively uncommon. Experienced trades in this area are hard to find, as are facilities.
Thanks for the question Rodney, come up lot.
@@SeaJapan that surprises me , Japan is considered expensive / like California
@@SeaJapan most catamarans are 39 to 45 foot , so i can see why few boats show up
@@rodneygaul2227 really depends on what you do here. If you hang out in the marinas and only eat out at fancy restaurants it can get very very expensive.
But if you anchor or use the general fishing ports then it’s actually very reasonable. Most places charge by the ton to moor up, Tiare is 13 tons so that’s 13¥ (10c) per day!
Plus stores for food etc are normally a short walk or bicycle away.
@@rodneygaul2227 I thinks it’s just off the cruising radar, I have talked to a couple of the big RUclips channels who are thinking of coming up this way. The few times we have stayed in a marina we were charged by the meter, no multiplier (1.5 or 2.0] due to being a catamaran that we had in other countries.
