  • Hand steering in sporty conditions. In this episode of Sailing Sitka, we sail from Ballandra to Escondido in 25-30 knots. Once we get there, we dive into two major breakages onboard Sitka... Thanks for watching!

    I am amazed at the small spaces that Jay can wiggle himself into, I'm not flexible enough now to be able to do that. That part coming apart was probably "Sitka" just testing her crew to make sure they were still paying attention to her and her needs. Hope the summer of 2024 is good to you, and you are able to accomplish all that you need and want to.

    Hello Jay & Kenna, Randy here. Wow Jay, your own doghouse ! And let's be honest about not filming......ya just don't want anyone to steal any of your Pirate language that you've worked to perfect during repairs ! Hell of a ride but always proud of you two for forging into a challenging sail; just be safe and clip in ! We don't want to lose either of you ! Happy sailing and thanks so much for sharing your adventures !

      Love you channel! Keep up the good work. I’m part of the fellowship of dry folks. One day at a time. 35 knots is insane.

    Kenna's look 6:37 and then the oh after Jay said we should of been clipped in, priceless, with that said I was thinking the same thing when I seen the sea state. Glad you're both safe and sound. :)

    Good afternoon guys..
    Two types of anchoring when we have winds from the bow that exceed 20 m/s and as long as there are NO mooring buoys.
    1. Anchoring at Barba de Gato (Cat Beard) using 2 anchors separated between 20 and 40 meters, making an equilateral triangle and anchoring the chain and rope.
    2. Make an elbow, anchor the anchor and a rope will emerge from it towards the stern making a 45⁰ triangle with respect to the anchor, the boat remains perpendicular to the wind and the rocking disappears.

    The art of cruising, is to survive with what you have and keep the boat going to your next port capable of repair... We all do Mcgiver fixes to keep ourselves floating and chewing up the miles...No shame in that... Very few yachts under 60 foot have a fully stocked hardware store on board... Robust sail none the less...

    Seguro que vosotros comprendeis el problema de timón mucho mejor que yo, pero creo, no creo, estoy seguro, que el timón es una de las partes más sensibles de un velero. Lo mejor no sería sacar el barco del agua, repararlo y asegurarse un nivel adecuado de seguridad?
    Disculpar si este comentario os parece inapropiado, no es mi intención dar lecciones a nadie.

    • @sailingsitka
      @sailingsitka  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is the plan!! To take the boat out of the water and repair the shaft seal properly! You are right, it is a very sensitive part of a sailboat.
