TRAINING TO AVOID DANGER ON A PERFORMANCE CATAMARAN
ฝัง

- This video could change how you sail! Olympians, World Champions, Hall of Famers! We have got some VERY cool friends. When we met out at a deserted island years ago, little did we know that Annie Gardner and Eric Witte on the Catana 472, El Gato were such accomplished sailors. This week, we soak up words of wisdom and best practices to sail a performance cat safely and efficiently. We got a lot of water to cover. Also featured are a couple very accomplished sailors, Markus Moser and Shayne Young, which we will hear more from in a coming video. Als, we catch up with our good friend Pat Schulte of Bumfuzzle!
If you'd like to go sailing with the pros, contact Annie Gardner and Eric Witte of El Gato, Wind Goddess Retreats, and Trade Winds Adventures at annie@windgoddessretreats.com

![PROVING THE CRITICS WRONG [why catamarans don’t sail well]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3NJCXdhr9C8/mqdefault.jpg)
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.
Thanks Clif. Now get on out there!
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.
@@philipmayo8201 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.
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 😉
Don't know how I missed this one a year ago. Learning from the best. Many thanks.
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.
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.
Kind of speechless, thinking about the boat, water, wind, land, training, your experience. One of my favorites, thank you.
I like how they mention passion when everybody is just standing there relaxing.
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...
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 💪🏻
What a lovely couple (both)! People like that give hope to humanity!
That was a great episode - Thanks all who participated.
Simply fascinating.
Thank you all so much!
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 🙂
Ah, let us know how it goes Mike!
Best sailing video I’ve ever watched. I’ve been sailing well, for over 50 years and I learned a LOT!
Fantastic- what a great couple, and what a privilege. Thanks for sharing!!
You guys really show the ins and outs of the sailing life. Thanks
Amazing video!!! What a wonderful couple!!
One of your best sailing vids ever - so much knowledge and experience and skills that impart understanding and confidence. Thank you!
Great episode! So much great advice. We have so much to learn :) Thanks!
Without a doubt, one of your best. Those two are really impressive.
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
Great post my friends. I appreciate learning as much as I can before I start my own Trimaran adventures.
🌞🌴⛵️
What a great episode!! You guys ROCK!!
That was such a great episode… thanks 🙏 for the great work and adventure 😀
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.
Congratts, amazing video, we love it🤗
Wow! Fabulous vid. Thanks guys
Awesome video guys absolutely loved it
Super great video-thank you so much!! That was a lot of info and delightful folks to learn from. 👍
Awesome. Love it. Thank you!
I love this episode!! Informative and fun.
Awesome! I am going to watch AGAIN! Sweeeeeeet work.
Thank you! Cheers!
great video Nick and Megan! 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.
How fun! Perfect day for a great time! The Sea is in the blood and souls of those that find it! Love you guys!
Wow, so much to learn, ty for this great experience.
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
Best episode ever!
The vids just keep getting BETTER! 🤯
Awesome interview! Kudos‼️
A great episode guys, one of my favourites! Love this content. Tech us more! 😃
Great video! Great people!
Talk about value added video! Well done you two!
WOW What a great educational video. I used to race in my younger days... but never on a boat like this. Thank you.
I enjoyed this one a great deal (much more than I was expecting TBH). Lots of good, relevant information. Thanks for this.
Great sailing lesson!💖🤙🏼
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
Wow definitely one of your best videos!
Really like this one. Reminds me of why I love sailing since I now have a power boat.
Really learning so much from your videos thank you.
From the terminology alone its whole new world having a sport cat!! Good luck on your choice of a new home!!
Nice job !!
I think you did a great job on this one the information was was great ..... like watching what your winching not the winch !!...Thanks for this one.
Amazing video. Just a great dive into the reality of improving your game. Nothing like it out there. Just outstanding.
Hey thanks!
Well what an amazingly lovely couple Annie and Eric are. Such an interesting video. Thanks
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!
Thanks Alain. We are on the quest!
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.
Su fun tacking up to the America Cup boat!! What great people they are on the Gato
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!
awesome power couple. save this video!
Thanks for a very entertaining and informative video (even better than usual). Great couple, with humility to spare...👍 (the other guys were good too !)
Way kewl , one of the best production vlogs yet imho, excellent presentation , thank you.
Wow, thanks!
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.
Doin our best! Thanks Troy
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
@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
Wow what a fun day!
Great video.
Love this video. We were just there finishing up ASA certs in San Diego at West Coast Multi Hulls. Great place to sail.
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 😎
Gosh, a good video, now I know what a 'beam reach' sail is. An exciting sail.
Great, Great & Double Great !! Keep sailing, keep smiling through & always keep your pecker up !!
Lol
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.
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!
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! ✌️🌻😘
This was awesome!
Glad you like!
We bought our first boat!!! Thank you do much for the inspiration. SF bay if you ever want a ride...
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!
Love the Young Barnacles channel! He’s a Carbon fiber master. I never thought of. Catana for you. Great Cat didn’t cross my mind.
A lot of good information in this one. I made some notes.
Greetings from New York City: SIMPLY MARVELOUS
Cool vid, It won't make me change the way I sail, but that's more down to the captain of the the cruise ship never letting me have a go.
Very cool day! Megan was crushing that 12m and leaving them in her dust!!!
Been following Shayne Young of Young Barnacles for while, what that man knows about boats and rigging is incredible. They did one video on bolts and it was SUPER interesting, who would have thought! Plus he's worked on my dream boat - Gunboat 68 🤩🥰
@End: I don't like you guys.. I love you!! This was an awesome Ep!! So much knowledge, Annie and Eric shared..!! Loads of love to you all sailors!!
Makes me want a Cat. Great information
That was really, really interesting, and very well explained for a newb like me
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.
@@geoffreyhanan1837 Mamie Burgers. I miss those and her so much!
what a great afternoon sail - how much fun was that.
Thankyou 👍
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! 🥰
Great content!
thanks! It was a beast to edit because we could do another hour with those guys. maybe we should!
I love this episode. And yeah, u will end up on Catana :) i knew that from beggining. Thank u guys. Greetungs from Catana 47 #ikigaisailing
This is one of the best episodes I have seen in the last five years! :¬) Webhead USA
WOW! Thank you!
@@TheOKellys FYI, I follow 32 cruising TH-camrs. Yeah, this was a superior episode. I deem you to have a great asset above all others - you are a weather guy! Knowing weather windows is crucial. One request for a new episode - please explain apparent wind, and how that affects your sail plan. :¬) Webhead USA
Fun Info! bought the book on kindle!
Thankyou peace.
Great!,,
Great tips. I know a few of the people that were mentioned as I'm a former Tornado and Nacra 6.0 racer. The one and only race I did when I had my Tornado was in San Diego and I won. It was an Olympic qualifying regatta with about 100 boats on the starting line. My crew and I got four 1st and one 2nd. I was 17 or 18 years old back in the late 80's. We beat Randy Smyth who I purchased my sails from. Maybe one of you will remember that. If so than let me know. I don't remember what the guys name was that was my crew but he was really good.
That's an impressive sailing team on El Gato
Thanks!
thank YOU!
Loving Annie and Eric….what amazing instructors. One day…
Couple awesome sailors, those two…good peeps! We are lucky to know them.
They both have the eye of the Tiger & the brains to know when to pounce. When racing had the eye, but often pounced at the wrong time.
