      I noticed Dick has two mates operating the winches. So, this is not a boat ideal for single handed sailing like the Amel 50 eh.

    What's really great to see, is the love of sailing, the actual act of sailing, that you both exude.
    Great episode.
    Much love from Cornwall, UK.

    I really dislike people making comments about Khiara, or follow this channel because she is pretty etc; SO shallow, I would never be like that. I'm here for the sailing, the yacht, the travel, the knowledge, to see different parts of the world, the struggle etc ... and yet, by gum Khiara looks good! She has really blossomed somehow! For balance - and genuinely meant - so has Adam; he has never looked happier! It might be the Kraken's doing

I skipped ahead just to see where you are and leave a comment and a thank you. You two have produced a fine series. I have limited sailing experience. (Lived on a small island in WA state and sailed a dory - almost daily for 3 years) Later had the use of a Wauquiez Pretorien 35 for a while around Seattle. I'm looking forward to the rest of your adventures.

    Most modern furling gear has 2 slots to enable wing on wing sailing on one jib.
    Like everything sailing its a compromise, id rather have a cutter with an extendable bow sprit for a code zero.
    Wing on wing is all cutesy for youtube vids, but those watching dont have to live with the rolling it causes.

This is the first new modern build boat that really has me thinking. But to do it I would have to sell my airplane. That sit down discussion you had with the builder was excellent I have watched it twice, because what he said really struck home. In relation to a cruising boat and that is exactly what we want. It is beautifully designed. I will tell you how good it is my wife actually sat down and watched the whole discussion and that is first.

    I was noticing the sort of 'U' shape of the captain's chair and thought it would be a good idea to have a 'U' shaped seat on rollers so that when the boat heeled over the seat would roll to keep the skipper vertical and maybe save a back or neck from going out from the twisting and turning.

  • @416srw
    @416srw 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    OK Adam, you are in love and I see why. I do wonder, why do the shrouds connect at the deck behind the mast? I can see it would strengthen the rig when running, but they also block the main from fully extending.

    • @SailingMillennialFalcon
      @SailingMillennialFalcon  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Swept back spreaders and thus rear mounted top caps is fairly common these days. I’m reasonably sure it’s to facilitate some pre bend in the mast. Sails resting on the spreaders is a problem even for perpendicular spreaders. The Falcon has this issue too. The Solent rig sort of circumvented this by removing the need for the mainsail when running deep downwind thus keeping it off the spreaders.

    If you two keep producing the type and quality of content you have been of late, those extra million subs won't be long in coming. You have matured immensely (as sailors, boat technicians, videographers, story tellers, editors--the whole bit) since you started the channel and it has been fun to be able to witness it as you take us all along for the ride (or sail as it may be). It’s a pleasure each week to get the notification which is an invitation to sit back, relax, grab a favorite beverage and watch you sail, explore, and grow. It would be great for you to work a deal to have a Kraken 50 as the Millennial Falcon II. Keep your eyes on the goal of sailing the world and allowing all of us to join you in the adventures through wonderfully-produced videos and I’m confident great things will happen. God Bless and happy sailing.
