Ive got a 22ft with traveller on wooden bar shin height centre of cockpit new to sailing and hate it also sick of racing snobs "ohh how dumb you want to move it " thanx for ur video given me hope i can move it

no more videos?

lol funny video

Where can I see her, what cost, is she been surveyed.

Hi, I have watched this video 8 or 9 times and have a question. Do you think she is too small for a liveaboard couple to go cruising, this will be our first boat my wife is 5ft and also will be new to sailing, I am trying to follow Lin and Larry pardy's advice of "go small, go cheap, go now" but in your valued opinion is she too small? Thanks in advance.

Just found your channel (thanks algo!). I see from the comments that you caught a good bit of grief from the peanut gallery, but I appreciate your willingness to put your content out there. Rather than ridicule, I much prefer to focus on the lessons learned. Thank you, sir!

your friend who drinks Moretti Italian beer is only to be esteemed....Greetings from Italy

I owned No Rival a few years back and lived on her in London and sailed her and East Coast and to Holland, France then the Med via Spain and Portugal and then back via the french canals and can vouch for her sea keeping in a big blow and big seas. Intention was to sail her to the caribbean but couldn't afford a sat phone in those days to do the ARC. Nice to see she is still being looked after as have many happy memories of the voyages we took.

Great boat. I have a dropkeel 349. Only snag is I wish mine had the bow thruster for when docking. They sail v well. Even with keel.up.

This was great. There's not that many videos of sailing with wishbones. I wished there would be a little bit more details how they work though. But thanks! (i'm considering wishbones to my schooner/ketch with two free standing (and rotating!) masts)

If your language skills were better, I might have listened to more than 30 seconds of your video.

I'm looking for videos on this type of grements that show the execution of maneuvers, especially in strong winds, for sail reduction. I can't find any. Do you have any? Please!

Je cherche des videos sur ce type de grements qui montrent l'exécution des manoeuvres, en particulier lors de fort vent, pour la réduction de la voile. Je ne trouve pas. En auriez vous ? s il vous plait !

We love our 349 after 8 season's use. A delightful rewarding boat to sail with the few faults sorted by the 350 which replaces it in the Jeanneau line up.

i know you got a lot of flame in the comments, but sometimes you have to work with what you got. im in a similar situation with my sabre 30. i have no other choice but to do this type of install. i will back it up with a piece of starboard , but probably use the additional hardware like you did. weighing and setting should always be done with boat engine assist anyhow. i have never backed on a hook to set while using only the windlass to hold the strain. same with popping it from the bottom. it is always proper to make off to a cleat and use the boat to pop the anchor. the windlass should be there for one thing only- to pull up the rode . and for this , your install should be plenty

I've just found your channel, where have you gone?? Good explanation and demonstration of the German sheet, thanks

That is aa lot of boat for 30 feet.

Thought I was getting a review - or at least a critical POV of first year experiences - instead was an end of season sail video, with lots of filler. ZZZzzzzzzzz!

Hi. How’s the Walder going? Still don’t need a vang? How’s she tack in light wind? Have to release Walder? Thanks.

Think about it. The SWL of anchor chain is in excess of 1,000 lbs (depending on size), with the actual breaking strain multiples of that. The maximum pull of most windlass's is in the high hundreds to the thousands of lbs.......and yet you have that system secured by a couple of cabinet hinges? No professional would have ever signed off on such a design. OK, i understood that in the text books, the big loads supposedly occur only when at anchor (when tied off to a cleat), but real boating life is never that straightforward, such as in attempting to free a snagged anchor or managing both motoring and raising the anchor, single handed, in a blow. I had my windlass secured to a fully glassed 1/2" thick foredeck (no balsa), as per the manufacturers recommendations and am now in the proess of adding a 1" thick aluminium backing plate, as it proved insufficiently strong (ie was beginning to pull the bolt heads through the fibreglass, dedpite oversized washers). In summry, all the worst advice I have ever received, in boating, has come from so-called professionals who and all the best advice from seasoned sailors, whose only motive is to share what has probably happened to them, or a friend, in the past.

Love your little doggie

5:27 A bit annoying, exposed WHAT? Man, work on your narration skills. You don't finish sentences, jump from subject to subject... COME ON. Do you want to reach 600 subscribers or not?

4:23 "They even got a blind!?" Is this the first boat you've ever been on? Because (a) ALL boats have blinds and (b) "nighttime blinds" don't exist because... IT'S ALREADY DARK AT NIGHT. And it's not "if you want some shade". It's A MOSQUITO NET, you dufus. Oh my goodness, this is funny. Stick to testing non-alcoholic beer, mate.

What a gorgeous sailing yacht! I have fallen in love with the Jenneau 349 and hope to own one some day. It's a huge pipe dream but one can only hope... lol. You can really tell he LOVES his boat. He cleans the table with a vacuum! Now that is love! Who could fault him for that! Cheers!

Nice video. Here’s a short Nonsuch 30 “Classic” cruising compilation. th-cam.com/video/paCcjdIOcok/w-d-xo.html

No mention of Keel profile. Is it a fixed dagger board style with bulb? Does this style of Keel have a habit of snapping Off?

HaHa, excellent... So Daddy duties excused for the weekend Ricci😄👍

Like it! Definitely on the cards for the new season!

Does your Pocket 2 have a mind of its own? I know mine does 🙄. That is a lovely boat Ricci isn't it, I hope we can see it racing on the river next year 👍.

Nice weather for the last sailing of the season. I missed only one thing... Boat Beer Review. 👍👍

Got me dizzy 😵‍💫

There are so many better options than the typical giant racing dinghy with Bermudan sloop combination. I'm a fan of the modern cambered junk, which jibes very gently, as well, reefs in ten seconds and also single-hands with no trouble. The Nonsuch hull with a junk rig is probably an ideal combination!

What make and model is Summer Breeze?

its possible to ocean crossing alone with this boat?

Dauntless Yacht Centre in Benfleet "really great at social distancing" - definitely won't be going there then. If you fell for the covid scam, you're too dumb to operate a sailing yacht. Hope you took a few vaccines mate 🤣

Why the sailing gloves? Do you have soft baby hands?

this looks like not enough mechanical advantage to me. the block attaches to the mast forward of the midpoint, and then moves forward still more. It doesn't look very thick either, 8mm? and it's just a 2:1 purchase (ignoring the other block that goes up again even closer to the mast, just to clear that hatch. I think this will put a massive strain on the cabin top, once it gets windy. Although, it's been two years since this video was made so I guess you know now. I came here because I have been installing "german mainsheet" on my boat, but my understanding was that "german" referred to having two mainsheets (and no traveller) you sheet in on the windward sheet and then use the leeward one to control twist (something like that)

Price?

Hi Ricci We haven't seen you this Summer???, not so much as Best Beer Review...much needed in this weather:) Thought of you as my Skipper Bro and I are delivering a nice Dufour 33 past your neck of the woods in the Medway this weekend, from Ipswich and I know you've gone around the Chalky stuff.... were delivering to Torquay, any thoughts on best hops! along the Way, think prob 5 days +/_

Bel video complimenti!

Captain Q has just done a your and insight into one of these probably a later version . Great idea apparently they did a ketch rigged version.

nice!@

Omg when you first got on the island you walked past a bone and small scull , Iv screen shot it 👍

What length boat is Summer Breeze? What is the type of whisker pole? What size Genoa? - Skol

loud music

Very nice boat , Congrats Richard 👍 We bought the same one and received her one month ago ⛵️ All the best from Istanbul Turkey 👋

I'm sure I caught some pics of you on Gillingham reach aboard this boat, was it at the end of June Ricci?

The spreaders look very swept-back, which must have an impact on squaring off the mainsail downwind, esp.with full width battens. Is that a 2:1 spinnaker halyard?

I'm loving your videos - and this one is so informative
