Enjoyed, thanks for posting. Seems like modern day sailing is turned into high tech and lots of money. You all show that with hard work and good steamship can still traditionally sail and cruise on a budget.
Perfect sailboat ever built for two people by two people.. even an orca would have a hard time taking it out.. Jules would figure a way to protect that rudder with no doubt
Hi you 2, thanks for sharing your adventures Linseed oil boiled with Stockholm tar , then dilute with turpentine. To make it workable...a super mix for wood and natural fiber rope and fabric.
@@SailingEmeraldSteel Stockholm tar from veterinary suply used for animal hoof treatments. It smells great . Viking ships used it extensively. Emerald steel looks fabulous. Well done and thanks for sharing.
133rd subscriber LIKE; and 310th island-neighbor view about to happen... saw E.S. distinguished profile and white stripe - at your mooring - as I returned over the bridge today. :0) My Jazz musician buddy calls me " 'Nado Pete". "Cheers!" from Funsongs Music.
Wishing the both of you a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving. I've been following you for years, for so long you feel like family and all that I have learned from your posts are priceless. Thank you! Also I have to agree with what another person posted, and I couldn't agree more... "with 1000's of new sailing channels, still the BEST, a real sailing channel, no crap, no fake drama, no new baby on board, to telenovela news,, SIMPLY THE BEST"
Doug fir, the "weed" everyone wants... Very good building material but not native to just about anywhere. As always a breath of fresh air in the sailing channel community.
I'll never forget seeing Emerald Steel with her 'pirate-ship profile' cruising past the ferry landing and Peohe's - thrilled at the sight of such a unique vessel under sail. And then, to discover this channel! :0) Great view at 7:32!
What made you choose a hard side tender instead of an Avon type? Is it longevity of the hard sided ? Would you consider teaching knots and use or how to use a compass? I absolutely love your channel. Thanks for all the information you share
Glad you're enjoying it. We carry both types of dinghies. One is a 10' Achilles inflatable with outboard and one is the hard dinghy you mentioned. They both have their purpose. Here is a link to our vid about our dinghies. th-cam.com/video/PTrzvjdKYvE/w-d-xo.html
I wonder how many sailors actually understand how to use a compass and papers charts anymore, let alone a sextant. Electronic navigation is the accepted method used by most boaters today. This is obviously a dangerous trend, offshore. But then so many are out cruising offshore in boats never intended for offshore use. It is good to see that the art of navigation is not yet completely lost.
Electronic navigation has allowed many more people to sail offshore. I will never understand why people criticize it. It’s about the most reliable thing there is. The US Government and most governments around the round have given up on funding lighthouses and every person I know that knows how to navigate with a sextant uses a calculator to do the long division. Heck a gps probably costs less than a calculator and much less than volumes of site tables. In addition have you tried to buy a new full size paper chart? No one even sells them anymore. When someone asks me what they could use as a backup for gps I tell them another gps. As for people sailing boats off shore that are not intended for offshore use, I don’t even know what that means. People have successfully sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in boats I would not step foot on.
Yep. I crewed on a real old Barracuda, stuffed with electronics. Guy had money but he was constantly down below with a pencil, dividers and eraser plotting the back course on the paper chart....it was good to see.
Hi Dan, All true but only half the story told, yes gps does make life much easier for the sailor but we met a sailor in Tonga who lost all his electronics after getting hit by lightning. Personally we've experienced not being able to obtain a fix for over 24 hrs around Fiji etc.etc. So when voyaging across oceans you should at least have a general chart and a cheap plastic sextant so you can find out where you are...yes, many people cross oceans in less then safe vessels but do you know how many boats never reach harbor, how many sailors get rescued by the coast guard or spend days in a life boat? So it's like saying alot of people use drugs and nothing happens to them while forgetting how many overdosed and never see another day. Thanks for commenting! Always good to hear from you. J and S
Just now thought how much more politically correct unprepared is than just calling them ignorant...not stupid....unless they refused to just remain ignorant after being told.... You guys are just great...Period
Single handing a 60 ft motorsailer after my friend had to leave. Presently at Cape Charles doing a repair. Limped in last week suing 3knots with 8ft seas anyone in Cape Charles?
Here Here!! Just solid tips and good common sense sailing! I remember in one of your previous clips something about moving the anchor chain to a more midships location before leaving on a passage, as we're refitting with an all-chain rode, any other thoughts on how else this can be done. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Jeff and Julie s/v OoLaLa Westsail32 #81

Thanks for the tip! It seems like it might be hard to obtain...we have a difficult time finding hemp rope for our baggy wrinkles. J and S

I wonder if fitting a block or two to the mainsail halyard to create a pulley would help raise the sail.
Yes, we have a three to one purchase. Anything more would be too much rope to handle. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Beautiful but a couple of discreet winches would make it easy.
Jules said he will when he gets old🤣🤣
@@SailingEmeraldSteel Go Jules! Old is a state of mind!
Love what you do! :D
Hi and hope you two are well. I will need to replace my roller furler next year. How is your experience with the new system you installed? Thanks.
It keeps the 1st mate in shape .While the Captain , videos , her working skills. Lol 😂 joking. Another great video.

Perhaps you could put some kind of a winch to help raise the sails, since you guys aren't youngsters anymore.
