SPINNAKER SAILING FAIL | Ripped Sail. Broken Stanchion. ANGRY Captain.

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มิ.ย. 2020
- This video starts out amazing with the longest white/pink sand beach we have ever seen but it takes a turn for the worst as we attempt some downwind spinnaker sailing to St. Martin. Let's just say it was an EPIC FAIL and we ended up ripping our sail and breaking a stanchion...

Love the vid. This time, it’s the reality, and the rawness of each of you. During editing, I am sure you thought about what to show, but seeing frustration, apologizing, Sierra’s endless positivity, Billy’s determination - all made for the authentic side that keeps me watching and a huge differentiation over the more idealistic channels. Great job guys! You are rocking it!
That drone footage was AMAZING! Great vid guys
Another awesome video, camera transitions from anchor to dinghy was real cool.
I liked the apology. Setting a good example. Nobodies perfect.
Loving your episodes gang. Keep up the great work and stay safe.
I love it, even when things don't go well, its pretty darn good!
Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Captain Ahab some how always comes ok when crazy stuff happens (tangled sail rope around the prop), eating humble pie and learning to relax in a mini crisis. Good work in sorting it out
Totally Awesome video guys 😍
Getting a spinnaker pole would help a lot. And you could also use it to hold out the genoa clew going downwind.
I’m going with 10 days on the motor rebuild. Love your video’s! Stay safe! 🙂
Wow, really good job on that spinnaker recovery...... Super intense over the top stress. .
Good luck with the engine rebuild. Remember in that endeavor that cleanliness is your best buddy. Keep the good stuff coming.
Saw first Tula video last week....Sierra doesn't seem to get mentally bent out of shape and is normally positive. Billy had a reason to loose it for a bit here but he sincerely apologized to Sierra. This video was well worth the time and I enjoy how well these two get along.....caused me to subscribe. If the cylinder walls aren't scored....back running in four days.
Anchor camera was cool.
Yes Mantus might be interested in that
we did that too! It is always fun trying to retrieve it later lol
So sorry you guys had so much trouble ☹️ But so impressed with your attitude about dinner 🐟😋❣️
One more excellent video
Bobby we have all had problems with head sails, I once lost a Genoa sail when the halyard broke from the top of the mast, it wrapped around the rudder, such a mess. No Barracuda ever!
Nice drone footage!
I haven’t laughed so hard in ages at all those wraps of the spinnaker
I am going to be positive on time to rebuild. If you have everything you need. I am guessing 5 days. Good luck and don’t stress about it.
Nice drogue deployment !!! Go Tula !!! Jetty Rules !
The sand there is as soft as flour,,,,,amazing place to visit
Great sound effects, two words - spinnaker sock !
Well done on the cinematography! Don't beat yourself up about the spinnaker. You did well considering no dousing sock. It took me 6 trys before I got mine to fly and I had a sock! That barracuda meat will get you a mutton or a grouper on the bottom rod. thanks for sharing.
That would be a no to eating baracuda (or any large fish), especially if there is any chance of cigutera, the toxin has a cumulative effect so you might get away with it for that fish but that won't mean you are ultimately going to escape it, not something you want.....besides they dont eat very well anyways.
Maybe consider a spinnaker sock to help you enjoy the downwind sailing experience?
Keep up the great work/life, cheers
I'm going with 5 days on the engine rebuild. Hopefully no broken bolts, stripped threads, etc.
You guys stay safe.
Remember one 20 minute job can turn into a 3day ordeal with one broken bolt!
i would pass on the Cuda, my friend got sick one year in Eleuthera and had to be med flight to Nassua
Great camera work guys! I'll be right over to have some of that sushi Tuna ;) Yum
Really loved the anchor cam! Always wondered what it looked like from that point of view. Love the video as usual! #fancyhobos
Not going to lie, those sound effects had me laughing harder than it should have.
Billy, never thought you would ever get 😠 angry lol.... Jetty is such a good boy he is adorable he certainly enjoyed running up and down the beach 🌴. Love you both, look forward to your next video 🐕💐😘 would like to send Jetty a gift where do I send it ?
Well from an old sailor before the time of spinnaker socks we used sewing thread every so often,once up put some pressure from the lines and it will pop the thread and open up.
Come on Billy, engine out on Monday back in on Friday, sailing on Saturday!
Camera on the anchor? Very Cool! I never saw that before.
Like the vids.
In Aruba it is normal to eat any size of barracuda. Never heard of someone getting sick of eating it here. Delicious fish.
Props to you billy for apologizing you did a good job respect👍
Nice to see you catch a fish.Beautiful video. It was nice to here you apologize to Sierra. Think about your station failure, ok to try something new but through bolts and backing plates would be much much stronger. The way they are gives you a false sense of security. Dee and Deb
3weeks, but hope everything goes smoothly and you all have fun too.
That horn bleeping killed me...........haha but it was sweet you apologizing to Sierra. I know that was frustrating.
At 4:18 when you were waving - I thought for a second the camera was on Jetties head then realized it was the drone...- That would be cool - a day in the life of Jetty from his point of view :-)
Billy,,,,,I was in Barbuda ,,,July 2018,,,,that entire west coast,of the island is one long beach,,,,soooo beautiful,,,,you must have sailed past what's left of the actors ,,,Robert De Niro....resort,,,,,on Princess Diana beach,,,,
Someone needs to plant a whole lot of coconut palms on Barbuda !
A sailing couple that lives in st Thomas told me and my friends when we were there to absolutely not eat any non deep sea fish. They said ciguatera was really really common there. I would definitely not eat the barracuda lol.
You guys could do with some spinnaker lessons. Next time you hoist the kite hot you're angle up to a broad reach, this will keep the kite away from the forestay. Sailing dead down wind is probably better with no main. But try sailing hotter angles and gybe downwind. when you get you're angle right you will generate more apparent wind, building you're speed, which when you have the speed you'll then be sailing deep and fast, if you loose the apparent wind just head up, build speed and as the app wind moves forward you follow it down, so no need to be adjusting sheets. Love you're videos, keep it up, cheers from Down Under, Rustie.
Thank you for your great videos !! I would like to know who designed your catamaran? thank you in advance.
Thanks for watching! Locke Crowther was the designer
Good Stuff. I bless you three with joy, peace, love and abundance in your life. I bless your YT Channel and all that follow you.
Use a barber haul or twing on your spinnaker sheet to move the lead slightly forward. It will stabilize your sail. Sailing a little higher and therefore jibing a few times also stabilizes the sail. Up in the lulls, down in the puffs. If this sounds like racing tactics, it’s because it’s SOP, it’s how it’s done. A couple of yarn ties will help when hoisting to keep it from filling prematurely. Peace.
We cruised the Bahamas for five years and were pleasantly surprised to find that Baracuda were our favorite fish dinner. Anything under 30" or five lbs was considered free of ciguatera. Just cut a filet, do a nice marinade for a couple of hours, throw it on the barbecue and it's out of this world good. The only danger is getting too close to the teeth after boarding the fish.We solved that with "Fire in de Hole", a bit of vodka down the mouth. In 15 seconds the fish is out for the count.
That water is beautiful...stay safe❤️❤️❤️
Took a lot of stones as a captain to show how much fun you had with the spin. Bin there done that and got the tee shirt.
Billy is very talented so I going with 10 days to finish and have her running.
Enjoy the videos
Remarkable locations
Sorry about the expanding... to-do list
You may find it'll be better to use your engine as a core and find you a reman, engine. It's a viable cost-effective way or a new engine and have a warranty.There's a lot of different remanufacturing companies out there. Something to consider.
That is true but these videos are 3 months behind. They have been home for a month already.
Please stop at St Barts. It is a tiny French island that is enchanting. Spend a day at the beach near the airport for some thrills.
You guys are great. Most videos I watch of sailing the women are topless or naked which is blushed out but you guys seem to keep it clean. Hope you stay safe during this time.
Can't find that song you guys ate playing during the drone footage. Can you post a link to it? I would like to buy it. Thanks
I’m sure you have plenty of spinnaker experience, a couple of suggestions .....
Leave Genoa out so wraps are harder to happen when hoisting..
Pull spinnaker up from mast less friction, easier to go up faster..
get a centering ‘prod’ or bowsprit and keep clew tight to it.
Use elastic bands on spinnaker so you can hoist fully before breaking out .
Don’t sail dead down wind 10+ degrees off so much better ( without a long 90 deg pole)
But good for you guys for setting it even if hard! Cheers Warren
Billy , BLEEP, BLEEP BLEEP , SORRY LOL 😂
When did you guys put the different airhorns on the boat. Lol
Speaking of Greece... when are you guys making the big crossing?
Hey guys what's going on I see your boat is for sale. New boat or new adventure? Wish I had the money and somewhere to sail it.
take estimation, multiply by 3, 9 days to rebuild engina. Hope it goes OK, check crank end play and main and gig end bearings
Please do a video of you cruising around on the surf ski
Billy and Sierra, you ask for suggestions for content? I got one for you... after watching the spinnaker fiasco (WHICH HAPPENS TO EVERYONE) I would say man overboard drills would be a good demonstration and no one gets ENOUGH practice!
That reminded me of about every other time I put a spinnaker up! Except I like using a pole so it can hit you on the head, too! And, no I’ve never eaten a Cuda, and never would. I’d I never get ciguatera, that will be okay!
I guess that a slinkier sock is on the wish list.
2 tips for hassle free spinnaker hoisting.
1. If possible hoist it behind the foresail.
2. tie the sail with wool until to top of halyard, then when the sheets are tightened, the wool snaps and sail fills.
Other than that you got away lightly with damage.
Keep at it kids, it gets easier with practice.
As a victim of cigutera from a large snapper I would release all Barracuda. It can really mess you up. I was suffering from symptoms for a few years.
Hi, Even fully cooked meat can give you cigutera?
No don’t eat the barracuda nine days for the rebuild slow is fast Great videos keep it up
Guys remind me of another channel, No & brandy and salty dog, Luna...
Looks like you guys are doing the same track too.
Pretty cool....
Spin rap will usually clear by jibing the main. This reverses the wind rotation behind the main. Also don't sail quite so deep. Love your vids
Thx
L
Great video, look forward to them are you back in florida yet.
I’m hoping the engine rebuilt takes 10 days or less😉👌
Bleepity bleep bleep bleep, oh no Sierra!!
...georgous beach
Are you sure it wasn't the geese that caused the "fowling" of the sail? I kept hearing they honk. LOL
I would say with the luck you had with the Spinnaker I would not risk eating the Barracuda LOL😀😁😜🐟🐝 and how could you get mad at Sierra she's too cute to get mad at🤔🤗
All I saw in the corner of the screen was the patreon link. There's an old West Indian saying "longer than your will do you harm" so as long as the barracuda was smaller than my arm (I'm 5'6"), I'd eat it, I HAVE eaten barracuda before, it's delicious and I had no ill effects!
I'm not a patreon supporter, I'm broke :(
I'm adding new stanchions and bases on my sailboat after removing the old bases. I purchased some ss plate to put under the bases inside my cabin for added strength. We will see how it holds.
Consider G10 as a backing plate
@@Tulasendlesssummer G10 on top of the deck yes! under the deck I think ss plate is best for strength. I am using a 1" x 3" plate under the deck from the cabin side for my stanchion bases. If it tears out it'll make a large hole. Hopefully not and hopefully it'll support weight from a person. I plan on testing that as soon as they are done. Worst that can happen will be a hole to fix. No worse than what yall ended up having to do for repair. By the way, sorry that happened to you! Thank You for the reply, I know you're quite busy! Keep those wonderful videos coming!
ps my plates are stainless steel... LOL
Barracuda meat tastes yucky.
Engine rebuild? Two weeks 🤞🏼
No to eating the barracuda
What App do you use for Navigation? Tablet?
Schools of Barracuda scare me when I'm free diving or Scuba. But what scares me even more is the thought of having to eat one. I know people that do because sometimes in the Caribbean it's the only thing you can spear or catch on a rod and reel. But even with all the crazy precautions they take it's still something you wouldn't want to do unless you were stranded on a desert island and the only thing you could catch would be a Cuda.
What’s the SONG WITH THE DRONW FOOTAGE ON BEACH IN BEGINING.
I say 3 weeks on the motor taking your time.
Beau and brandy gots anew tender
I'm early
Cut bottom out of bucket pull kite through bucket tie yarn around kite every metre or so,hoist spinnaker,sheet in yarn breaks...voila
Positives: ur on a boat in the Caribbean! Negative: none!!!
Never been to Barbuda, that beach looks amazing, I doubt you’ll find anything like that uninhabited area like that anywhere else in the Caribbean. Going to St. Maarten is like going back to civilization. Tourists, cruise ships, people, grocery stores, cars, however with COVID19 not sure what will greet you there. Perhaps the environment will have a break to recover there. The French side, Marigot, is nicer with cafes, bakeries, local food joints. The lagoon in the middle is gross, where the business stuff is done. Simpson Bay pretty, Philipsburg has the big cruise ship port, great grocery store tourist, boat gas dock, etc. I guess you know that by now. Good luck.
I'm going with exactly 23 days start to finish for motor rebuild
If I recall correctly, the engine rebuild was unsuccessful and Billy sailed to Florida on one engine.
A spinnaker snuffer like the model from ATN Inc. in Fort Lauderdale will permit you to hoist the spinnaker in a sock. No wrapping around the head stay.
use a spinnaker sock to control the deployment
No on the Cuda!!
Compared to other spinnaker fail vlogs yours was minor (to me). No Barricuda for me even though it was our j.high.s. mascot, tuna for sure. I'm thinking 5 days for your engine work. Hope you have some fun while there.
Show your ipad navigation setup
U guys would love the coorong
48 hours to rebuild engine. Lol.. you can DO IT 😂🤣
How did you get the hole on the top of your hat?
Wearing it a lot in the strong tropical sun
