Beautiful day! It always seemed that the south coast of RI is either shrouded in fog, or bright clear and windy. Of course, their is the time of year when the weather is changing. You have a great schedule that allows use of the boat a few days at a time. It’s tough when all you have is weekends during sailing season. Never enough time. CUOTO.
Great video Tim! Sorry I can't give you any tips or pointers..... I know nothing about sailing! The one thing I do know is I love watching you learn ! Thanks for sharing! 😎👍⚓⛵ CUOTO!
Tim, for a guy that talked about not knowing much about sailing you seem to be doing things very well. If you ever need a crew my wife and I are ready to go. A friend of mine lived on his 32? all summer and home with his parents in winter, Detroit. Also enjoyed your drink when I packet was mentioned. Went thru a bottle of wine. My wife enjoys your tug boat series, but I really enjoy your sailing vids. We own a powerboat currently but look forward to the time we can head south and charter on the islands. Great boat purchase, as we own a Tiara , 30 old boat, but hard to find and like the IP are well respected boats. Enjoy your boat.
Thank you very much Nicolas. Sadly the plant died a horrible death in heavy seas. We buried the bow and the stern came up. When it came back down, the plant was no where to be seen. CUOTO
Just saw this this afternoon. You mentioned the Birthday get together in Boston. I was there and it was so very nice to have the opportunity to meet you.
You usually want your staysail tacked to the same side as your genoa, so it creates another jet of high pressure, however doing downwind wing on wing, it doesn't make as much of a difference as heading up.
Thank you for watching George. I really didn't know if that was a thing or not, but it seemed to add a little speed but definitely made me feel like I was doing something. CUOTO
I enjoyed this video very much. Interesting to see how you progress and gain confidence as a very experienced commercial mariner into the pleasure boating world. Nice that you both had your personal flotation devices on, even on calm waters. I know it went over most viewers "heads", but I who speaks and understands Spanish, found Chris' comments in Spanish very touching.
I'm catching up on your cruise. I don't know much if anything about sailing but I find it fascinating after viewing your tour of your boat. I'm intrigued with the auto pilot and have read a bit about how it works. That is a beautiful sail boat you have and I like that it was built to sail.
Love your IP Tim! But...wing on wing is for a run. Based on the flag, it looks like your air was on the beam or slightly aft. Perhaps that's an illusion. But if so, in that case, get your heads'l on the starboard side like your main. If it is a run, your stays'l will be hidden by your main...so you can put one or the other (main) away. The cool part about running wing n wing with heads'l and stays'l only is you don't have to worry about an accidental jibe. If you ever need crew, hit me up...I'll send you my sailing resume. Happy to fly to PR...I crew on bluewater deliveries...and I don't charge! It's just fun! I've been watching your tugboat channel for awhile too! Cool content! Happy for you making your dream happen! Very cool indeed! Cheers!
In lighter winds, the key to success is sailing fast angles. Do not sail dead downwind in light air-reach up until you feel some apparent wind from the side. Often the best course may be as much as 40 degrees above straight downwind. You’ll sail extra distance, but you will go so much faster that you’ll arrive downwind sooner, and you’ll have a more enjoyable sail to boot!
Thank you for watching Jonathan and for the excellent advice! I can totally see what you mean and look forward to trying it out next chance I get. CUOTO
Great clip Capt. and even taking the Admiral out .. Chris needs a formal introduction. Wing and Wing downwind sailing may not be the fastest but it sure can be the hottest, Once you fly your spinnaker you'd look for opportunity's to do so. Getting close to end of season we hauled out this week for winter storage. Have a good day CUOTO
Thank you for watching James. Oh yes, it that time of the year when time speeds up. We are working frantically to get things ready to sail Paquita to Puerto Rico! Will be shoot daily content. Stand by.
Lookin good cap!!! Very likely that little headsail isn’t doing much as it’s shadowed behind the main that far downwind. Looks like your poled out genny is pulling nicely though. I’m sure that you know this, but likely your Asym won’t work so well that far downwind. It’s really a reaching sail. Do you have a sock for it? If so, it’s not hard to set it by yourself, you just need to make sure that you run the lines correctly. It’s easy to get them wrong. I’ve done it again and again. . Haha. Happy sailing!! Enjoy Shelter. Get in to Cocles - one of the prettiest anchorages within hundreds of miles.
👍☑ Nice video Tim, great that you can already enjoy the boat. Pointing so far downwind your tell tales are only gonna tell you that you have wind. Only 40 degrees off of DDW will they work as they should. Keep the videos coming please!
Thank you David. I am getting the boat ready to sail her down to Puerto Rico. I should have a ton of content from that trip. And I'll see if Cris will come on camera more often. CUOTO
Great sailing...good to see Chris. Wing on wing is fine...works great. Have to watch visibility though. Think I saw that you had the main boom tied with a preventer. Good move...it's called a boom for a reason... I know cruising is cruising and is meant to be leasurely, but you might try some experiments on towing the dingy. We found that it produced a lot of drag. In the other hand I sailed a 30 foot boat in the stern wake of a 45' boat for quite a distance using his wake to keep our speed closer to his hull speed than ours ..taking advantage of his sail plan...I bet there is I magic place for the dingy to ride that does the same thing ...might require some trimming and easing on the painter, but if you're cruising...what the heck else have you got to do...right? Down wind in hot weather is always a trade off. Go fast burn up...go slow and have more air across the deck... May the wind be at your back.... Thanks for the ride
Thank you for watching Tom! That is a great idea I had not considered. Thank you! I love learning new things and this entire sailing thing has proven to be an endless source of learning opportunities for me. Thank you again. CUOTO
I am a fisherman and it seems like it always windy but on your videos with the new sail boat seems like you cant find the wind. Maybe you need a few fishing rods out to draw out the wind!
😂😂😂😂😂 I think you are correct Craig. I am worried about to much wind on our upcoming trip down to Puerto Rico. Stay tuned for 1500 miles of ocean passage. CUOTO
Nice to see someone on deck wearing their PFD... so much common sense is lost on other channels... Thank you Captain Tim and Paquita for keeping it real on the water! Seeing the cutter wing-on-wing is fantastic and I don't recall anyone saying you can't fly all the canvas under those conditions - The pocket behind the mainsail gives you a 'boost' when the stays'l is trimmed as you have - I could not imagine a better set! Looking good Team Paquita! ~__/))__*
Great video! I’ve been a fan of your other channel for a long time and just started checking out this one! I may start to prefer the peaceful silence of sailing over the shuddering in the wheelhouse while you’re at work! :)
G,Day Tim, Well Chris is better looking and more talkative than all your other Deckhands put together! Great to have her aboard. Don't knock the PJs on deck! I once sailed 500 miles on a tallship wearing amset of striped flannel pajamas, that i found in a painting rag bag from a charity shop! In all seriousness they are well cut and a good weight of fabric for a warm but windy day! Looked ambit odd though arriving in Sydney in PJs covered in tar wearing a 6" Bowswains knif and 9" Spike CUOTO Scotty
Oh, that's an easy one!!!! Absolutely!! In fact, I just installed a hydronic diesel heater because showers are so nice at anchor. 😂 Thank you very much for watching. 💯 Percent on the full shower!?? CUOTO
Thank you for watching John. Flying the asymmetrical was so much fun, but I think it was a good idea to get some more practice with it with the crew before attempting to fly it on my own. CUOTO

Thank you for George. Many professional mariners have had negative experiences with sailboats and their skippers. But I can think of a bunch of guys I've worked with over the years that sail on their time off. It is that far a departure from what we do at work; using the wind and tide, low power to weight ratio, slow speeds, ECT. CUOTO
@@svpaquita I had relatives that worked tugs. Even spent a couple weeks on one as a kid. Totally respect the commercial vessels and always give them a wide berth. Interesting point about the similarities I hadn't appreciated before watching your videos. Thanks!
@@georgeberntsen3138 there are knuckleheads in ever part of life. And there are plenty of "credit card captains" that have no business being out on the water.

Now that I know all about sailing a tug , I'm ready to learn to sail a sail boat.😄😄😄 . You look happier than I did the first time I ran my model trains as a kid, ( we will always be a kid). I wish you, all the happiness and joy with your boat. Thanks for sharing the fun. How many on crew for big trip?
Thank you very much Bob! We will be a crew of 4. Two watch system (6 on, 6 off) with 2 people up at all times. I am planning on doing a get to know the crew video soon. CUOTO
The weight of the boat is not the major factor in light wind performance: it's the sail area to wetted surface area ratio. IP's are a bit short of sail area and have woefully innefficient rigs, but are also shoal draught which means lower wetted surface area. The hopeless keel and rudder of the IP along with the low aspect rig and roller furling main mean they definitely don't ever sail well, and are dangerously poor upwind especially in light wind.
Are you saying that IP's aren't very heavy, beamy and shallow draught? Or that they dont have small low aspect ratio rigs? Or that long keels with attached rudders are not from the century before last?
Staysail is not really effective in this situation . That staysail is mostly for heavier weather to balance under high winds .Most often used 'instead of' instead of 'in conjunction with ' foresail .
Thank you for watching Robert. It has been a lot of fun playing with the many sail configurations possible on this boat. Since filming this, I have said to Puerto Rico. The winter was much better spent down there. But last month I started sailing back. The trip to Florida was fun and exciting and a little sketchy at times. But I am looking forward to Sailing north to Rhode island in a couple weeks. I hope you stick around and consider subscribing. CUOTO
@@svpaquita I am in northern florida at flagler beach . Retired and currently looking at several IP's in the 38 range . I built my own 69' ketch and sailed it around the world . That cutter rig is ideal for a strongly built boat like yours ( or hopefully mine soon ) . If the wind gets exciting you can just run with your staysail and often make better speeds that you normally do .And i mean just the staysail . Will subscribe for your simple courtesy of responding . Fair winds !
She looks beautiful with fulls sail. Thanks Tim
Thank you very much for watching and coming over to this channel William. CUOTO
Great job using the whisker pole. Downwind passages are my favorite. Many sailors hate downwind sailing and will motor. They don't have poles.
