The happiness in your faces when you’re sailing the vessel is just a joy to watch. Just hope you’ll a fair good boat for you to start enjoying again traveling around the world 😉
This is jam packed with good advice. I'll probably never actually own a boat and sail, even though it's my dream, but I still watched for the entertainment value. High quality content and editing as always.
Hey bud, I never thought I would be sailing around the world either, and inside 2 years I have a 28 foot that I'm taking lessons in, and am building a 45 foot offshore yacht in the front yard. NEVER SAY YOU WILL NOT LIVE YOUR DREAM!
@@edwardpardy7866 very cool Edward! I'm new to this sport but always wanted to own a sailboat. My only experience was on some small sunfish when I was in the Boy Scouts many years ago. I'm from PA so not really close to the ocean. How could I go about learning properly on a smaller boat (perhaps on someone else's boat) and then eventually buy a bigger boat for myself. I'm 53 now and a semi retired professional chef. I'm also not s rich guy so I can't just buy whatever and whenever. Also, how did you learn how to build your own sailboat? I'm pretty handy and don't mind getting my hands dirty especially on old cars, motorcycles and woodworking but I wouldn't know the first thing about tackling something this big and serious. Thanks in advance for any guidance Edward and again, congratulations on your project! I'd love to see it up close.
@@philipmayo4865 First off I started following sailing channels by chance on youtube and fell in love with the love and care cruisers put into their boats. I then found a small fixer up for cheap online, that I knew I could tackle and was within my skill level, and that I could haul myself. I supplemented my knowledge with Total Boat here on youtube and a little over a year later towed my project to the nearest boat club(inland lake) where I recieved more help setting up rigging. The sailing community is like no other in helping teach newbies like myself. The actual boatbuilding on the big boat is a slower process, learn as I go and talk to as many people as I can, and research online, along with actual plans from a company. There are lots of solid older boats out there that simply need elbow grease and a small investment. I bought the 28 foot for 4,500 dollars and put about 2 grand in slowly as I went. I could have done it cheaper but I wanted to be detail orientated and do it right. I had an older sailer ask me if I had bought the boat new, and no its over 40 years old. So find the boat size and project size that works for you. The O'Kellys have numerous great videos on choosing boat styles, budgets ect. The large boat I have is the big project that is larger budget( about 300 grand) and pretty intimidating, but again just taking it in steps. Hope this helps bud! Oh and if you find a sailing school, they usually supply the boat for lessons btw.
such great energy on board. This is probably my favorite episode so far or at least in the top 3, and there are plenty of good ones. There has to be way more valuable footage to share...
I love that little bit of advice at the end about communication. Especially about telling each other where you’re going to be or what you’re doing. We’ve had the same little moments of fear, coming up on watch and not knowing where the other person is, or just plain waking up to check to make sure they’re still there, even when you’re off watch.
Damn, I would LOVE to sail my Etchells with Annie and Eric - or anything with a rudder and sails. I could learn SO much and they are SO comfortable on a boat. People like that are so much fun to sail with.
That was the fastest 30 minutes ever. Great guests on the channel today, what a treat! Been following Shane and Young Barnacles channel for the last year and a half. His wealth of knowledge and experience is second to none and a very cool bloke - it seems. You guys are keeping us well entertained even though you haven't yet found your own boat, that's an art. You could probably do a yt channel on anything and be successful (now that I think of it, a weather channel focused on sailing would be great). You're one day closer to reaching your goal 💪🏻
Lovely episode guys. Nice boat as well. Strange thing is that our offer has been accepted and signed and deposit paid on a Catana 471 that we will survey shortly. Then our Leopard 40 owners version goes on the market. Exciting times 🙂
Great episode. There is alot of info that I never new about. Though I doubt I will ever own a cat (closing on my first boat, a monohull, this week) still very interesting to hear such great information from such highly knowledgeable sailors. Thanks
Luv it! Thanks for sharing these details. Your hosts are amazing and YoungBarnacles are out of this world! Cant wait to see your next boat! The universe is working her magic.
Ive watched all your videos so far. Im working on my first boat and the simplified explanations with arrows and animation to clarify. Priceless. Thank you and cant wait to see what your new ocean sled turns out to be
so glad you guys are follwoing shane and his family. he really knows his stuffand the videos of thier reacent altlantic crossing where they lost a rudder is an education on what to do and howto cope they really need more subs
TH-cam University. When I win the Lottery, I will buy a boat and sail away, putting this knowledge to use. I particularly like that you going beyond the basics to performance sailing skills. Video is so well done, Thank You Fair Winds 😎
@3:11 - God damn it.. I cannot take my eyes off of the cute couple.. So blessed they are... Well, I am not sure whether I am in happy mood today or your video changed my mood.. Looks like it's the second case.. Hahaha
Have a look at the anomaly head board car from Doyle and similar systems that eliminates the need to climb up to attach the headboard of a square top main
Wow I’m learning a lot. Thank you for this video! I just saw a Chris White Cat outside of Annapolis Harbor with a blue hull, thought of you guys when I saw her the other day!
Along with all the sailing inspiration and instruction stands your ever present testimony of the commitment and dedication required for a marriage, something you don't see much on these sailing channels.
Great Job keeping the sails up while you hunt for that next project. Actually sailing is the backbone of this community and you're doin it. Thanx Again. Looking forward to that next tack.

Great episode!! It is great to see Annie again... been a long time since the Hobie 16, windsurfing, CRYC Mamie burger days... Well done on the sailing, best video so far... :-)
When we met, we had no idea they were such accomplished racers. In fact I don't think it came up for years! So they are awesome sailors and modest! Our favorite kind of people!
@@TheOKellys we all grew up racing Hobie Cats, windsurfers, Star boats, SORC crewing when possible from the Coral Reef Yacht Club... a great racing and learning club as a kid...Annie was in the middle of it all... a blessed way to be able to grow up.
Great video! Some good info here! It was good to see another boat running both dagger boards in symmetry, which is fastest on our boat. We were out practicing a few of these skills today.
Great mood and very informative. The more I watch sailing channels on TH-cam, you come definitely on top. There is something special about your quest that I can relate to more than the others channels I watched so far. Hope you find your new boat soon. You find very nice ways to get on the water in the meantime!
Good episode. Many of us are not sailors. Can you explain more about how dagger boards are used? Which side when? I understand if the hull isn't right , then a DB is a waste. I have sailed, love the lean, the sounds, feel etc. I am however a stink pot guy. Slow, long cruise, with get up and go when I need it. But, I love all boats, being on the water. I can tell you stories about some of the snob sailors I have encountered over the years. ( think Caddyshack ) Much respect from yyz
Great video. Clearly, they know what they are doing and I appreciate learning from people with such expertise. The stability issue with a light weight catamaran in wind is crucial; especially with the really light boats like the Mumby and the Lerouge. A comment about Catana: They are most certainly one of the premier high tech boat builders. Few other builders match their hull design and construction especially. Early on, I was very attracted to their new "Ocean Class" catamaran. I have sailed Catanas, Outremers and Balances. All are good but they are aimed at a slightly more sedate market than the Dazcats and Marsaudons. Almost bought a Dazcat but it was more boat than I am a sailor. Mumby and Lerouge are aimed at the purists who are willing to forego some comfort. Keep up the good work.
Done some monohull sailing but not cat and hope to adopt a cat in the next few years, so much good advice in this one, thanks so much! Really loved this video!
In previous videos I was always amazed how fast you seemed to poo poo the outside helms on the Catana. After sailing on one, maybe now you are coming around? After all, you still have the inside Nav center and auto helm to do the driving in bad weather. I bet you might also like the advantage they provide when docking short handed.
We've sailed a couple now. I hope our commentary doesn't come off as Poo Poo'ing the helms. It's a compromise we've felt not right for us. But yeh, the more time we spend sailing them, the more we appreciate the advantages.
You guys are so much fun! What a fascinating video. It’s my dream to learn to sail one day. I’ve been a small airplane pilot for over 20 years and some of the terms/descriptions you use make sense to me but it seems such a different experience on the water. One day! ✌️🌻😘
OMG, I could’ve spent the whole afternoon trading jibes with Il Moro. I bet you can jibe better at the end of the day watching Annie drive through those light winds turns. Peace!
Thanks for a very entertaining and informative video (even better than usual). Great couple, with humility to spare...👍 (the other guys were good too !)
What a great video and a great couple they are.You guys are great too. I'm thinking of buying a small 30 foot performance yacht. When I'm sailing down wind I normally reef the main. Just to increase the factors of safety. Maybe because I single hand. I also will have 2 head sails up which pulls the boat rather than the main which pushes the boat. There is also a another way to depower the sail is to let out the sheets if it's just a gust. I can't get to the states to learn from them do they have videos that I could watch.
@@tomjarecki if the danger point of sail is on a beam reach. Then by having the boom on the centre line then the sail is perpendicular to the wind and there fore must be fully loaded. This is likely to capsize the boat.
@@tomjarecki I normally sail a monohull. I was sailing a lagoon 46 on a broad reach. 30kts with full sails up. The gust of 65 knots came on a close reach.the rudder was at about 20 degrees starboard. I let the main sheet out so the boom was parallel with the gust. I then did the same with the head sail. Are you saying I did the wrong thing.
It's so great to see you in San Diego. We've been following your journey for a long time. What a surprise! If you are still here, would love to meet up to say hi and grab some coffee. Oh and also, great episode! 🥰
Hey guys, this may just be the best episode I've seen! Great information, well conveyed, and it looked like you were all having a great time! I would liked to have seen more info on exactly what determines whether your "get out" will be rounding up or bearing away. Personally, on our cat, we favour bearing away to reduce apparent wind, but it can be a scary prospect as the boat speed climbs into the high teens, and keeping an eye on TRUE wind direction becomes really important as you sail deeper. So did any of these guys give more info of how they decide on whether they're going to come up or bear away? I'd love to hear their take on it. Looking forward to seeing what you end up sailing next.
Awesome video thank you! To bear off in a gust to avoid nose dive on a beam reach sounds scary. I’m soon to cross Bass Strait on my 40ft performance cruising cat so I crave to learn from as much as I can from you guys. Hope to see more - please! ⛵️🌸
@@tomjarecki wow great to hear, ive had experience on racing keel boats but cats not much as yet! So i love and understand what u r saying Tom - thank you. 👍
Trust me, I always enjoy the wedding videos.. Gives me more joy when they say a double digit number of their years!! Love you guys!! Loads of love from India.. BTW, my daughter loves your comedy.. She says, why all dads are fo funny.. Hahahaha...

Trust me, I always enjoy the wedding videos.. Gives me more joy when they say a double digit number of their years!! Love you guys!! Loads of love from India.. BTW, my daughter loves your comedy.. She says, why all dads are fo funny.. Hahahaha...
I like how they mention passion when everybody is just standing there relaxing.
