Another great video Dominic. Keep em comin mate! Love the fact that your Pahi, stood alongside the road for so long, is now doing exactly what it was designed to do, great save. Kudos!
It's impossible not to smile at the dolphins scene. What an amazing experience. And what a difference that wind noise cancelling material made. Thank you!
You're my favorite TH-camr so I always look forward to seeing "Yes Let's" sail around the other side of the world from me. Your videos are real and insightful and I'm learning sailing through your struggles, so thanks!! Keep em coming!!
Hi Dominic, I’m loving all your adventures. Great stuff. Keep going. I just realised that your name for her is actually a perfect response to the one Penny and I gave her, 34 years ago. “Imagine - Yes Let’s.” Bon Voyages et Bon chance, Mick C.
Good stuff. That blue sail looks nice all filled with wind. Nice scenery. I grew up by the ocean but my family never had a boat either. I just received my captain’s lic in the states. I had to work for other people on their boats. Can’t wait to have my own to work/live on. Those rolls look to be crunchy.
Nice run up to Welly Dominic!!! The kite repair looks very good, very skilled flying the kite without constantly trimming. You have quite the inventory of kites!!!
@@dominictarrsailingThe stripey radial sail might be a wind seeker for when the big kite just collapses. So many different names for various types of sails my favourite funny name is the "Whomper" lol
Nice work Dom 👍😋 Great footage of the trip. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to say hi this time around in Nelson. Next time brother 😃 Have a safe trip north and good luck with the planned mods to the interior of the boat that you were telling me about when you get up there. Keep up the great work on your videos 🏴☠️🤙🏼😋 Kia Kaha 👊
Thank you, it is good to see Wellington from the perspective of sea level. Practically all the times I have arrived or left Wellington is by plane, more often than not it is a bit “frisky”.
wellington is built in a wind tunnel! especially the downtown lambton quay area! it can be blowing you over there and then get of the bus in porirua and it's much less! and it blasts through the cook strait, either one way or the other, usually the best weather is a dying southerly, when it's getting ready to blow the other way
Quite clearly, the Hot Cross Buns did there magic... Nice passage... I saw you in Nelson on the mud adjacent to the Mai tai river mouth. Next time I'll come say hello...
Pleasant sailing Dom. 💖🌊🐉. Where are you now? Did you see the Auroras last night. Pretty spectacular even in Central Tauranga. But with 8 class flares in the last few days, the biggest yet less than 24hrs ago, the worst is yet to come. I've had reports of Grid problems experienced in the lower south island. Internet is certainly wonky right now. 😬👍
@@dominictarrsailing been bloody cold here too. Not quite so bad this morning but under 5C yesterday. The Sea temperatures have been more than 5C below what their published fake charts are claiming. You can get the actual satellite measured SSTs from Eosdis worldview, suomi nighttime surface brightness temp. Accurate to 0.2C. The published charts are modelled, and don't utilise the high res satellite measured temp and salinity data. 🙄
Southerly is definitely one of those confusing terms. It actually means, pertaining to the south. A southerly wind is one blowing from the south. Whereas if you travel in a southerly direction, you are going south!
Yes! It's much better to start with a small boat and work up. everything is cheaper and easier on a small boat, and sailing a small boat is more about reacting to the situation vs a big boat about planning and preparation. and just going on a small trip is more of an adventure on a small boat. don't look at it as a forever thing! look at it as a learning boat! unfortunately people rarely take this advice. I was fortunate at the time to not have enough money to get a bigger boat than that!
@@roxyknight4909 I reckon if I was gonna do a trailer sailer again, I'd go for a noelex 22. I reckon the best way to judge a boat design is by the community of fans of that design. noelex 22 still has a active racing scene. they are really light, which means they can have a smaller rig, but still are reputed to be quite fast, also that would mean you don't need such a big car to tow them. what part of NZ are you in?
@@roxyknight4909 perfect! a trailer sailer generally comes with a trailer. I'd recommend keeping it. like, just leave it parked somewhere. I'm sure you could get someone with a car to drop it in the water for you. Though, I reckon nelson/able tasman would be a better area to start out, there is a much larger area to explore in an area you can cover without needing to sail non stop over night, which is what you want while you are starting out
Great video. The dead cats seemed to work well. Nice to learn a bit about your sailing history, living on a trailer sailer would've been hard! What would you not go sailing without?
very good question. hard to answer! hmm thinking about things I have never not taken sailing... coffee and a book to read! my first thought was "anchor" but I did do a big trip on an tacking outrigger canoe, that I could drag up the beach, without an anchor. I think really it's because every boat is a compromise, so there is probably some trip that suits that boat! and a smaller boat makes the adventure bigger!
Hot cross buns with extra carbon, yummo. My crossing of Cook Straight on the ferry was smooth as, but i have seen really knarly pictures. Your vid proves that cats keep moving even in light breeze. Cruising chute with a sock is the single-handers light airs special weapon.
Yes, this boat is great in light air, but you gotta have big light air sails! being extra stable, and wide means you don't need a spinnaker pole, can gybe from the cockpit. that makes the spinnaker a very useful light air sail (except when it wraps the forestay) I have tried the sock, it seems like it should make it easier, but it adds two extra lines, so you have to get those right or it gets tangled and makes it more complicated. On this size boat (31', about 30 sqm sail area) it's easy enough to just manhandle it down, but that would change if it was 40' with double the sail area...
@@dominictarrsailing On my monohull, a spinnaker required a boom uphaul and downhaul and a seperate stay sheet, thats 3 extra lines+ 2 sheets. The cruising chute sock was on an endless line, so only one line and no boom BS. I wouldnt sail without one.
@@skaraborgcraft oh was it a cruising chute on a bowsprit? I generally kept the uphaul/downhaul attached to the pole, which is essential for poling out the jib anyway, and means you can't lose the pole. yeah I had my sock like that also but still managed to get it tangled too often
@@dominictarrsailing No. It had a long tack strop that i put around the anchor roller and hoisted just like a jib with no hanks. It flew for 3 days crossing Biscay to Spain. Never had a tangle. I did have a lightweight pole for the genoa downwind, but never used a lift/downhaul, just clipped it to the clew sheet. Never used the pole with the chute. Im thinking about using Bolgers "cruising spinnaker" pole set up on my next project.....but it does involve extra lines.
@@skaraborgcraft what point of sail were you on? I use my symmetric spinaker from beam reach down to dead down wind, but quite different trimming and handling for those courses. what defines a cruising chute? is it just an asymmetric spinnaker?
Thanks for the vid. You were complaining about spinnakers and the Bermudan rig, what rig do you think would be better? Junk rig? Having stays might make it tricky 🙂.
agreed. though biplane junk rig (an unstayed mast in each hull) has been shown to work on a few cats! considering a crab claw (similar to @frenchbohemesailingtheworl1736 ) as that seems more interesting... will need to figure out a way to get loads of canvas up for light air though!
@@dominictarrsailing If I am not mistaken, your Wharram comes with his Gaff wingsail design and it's supposed to be cheaper and easier to use than modern Bermuda rigs. Why did you change it?
@@clee5653 no this is a pahi 31. It is an older design than the tiki which originated the wingsail gaff (in the wharram design range). Later built pahi 31 do have the wingsail sometimes but this is an early one. Plans number 28! I recieved it with this rig... it was a restoration you can see my old videos of fixing it up and the state it was in when i aquired it!
again, was amazing to watch :-) ...just like last time. I wonder what kind of activities do you do while sailing straight for maybe hours and days during good weather? do you have a laptop with you? ...seems you definitely have some big solar panels on board
thank you! mostly reading. though I actually did do a couple of hours of security auditing on this trip. coding doesn't really work because it requires more focus, and you need to be ready to jump up and fix something if you hear a sound that shouldn't happen. I have more solar panels than is really necessary which is the correct amount of solar panels (enough for a cloudy day)
9.6 meters long (31 foot) about 30 sqm sail area. big enough to have one tiny bit of standing head room (at the hatch) but small enough to raise sails quickly and pull up the anchor by hand
I really enjoy your videos and find it fascinating how you are able to navigate so well. The only negative thing I can say is that when you pan your camera, on my tablet anyway, it appears jumpy and out of focus. But I am still very glad to see your videos and look forward to the next one, cheers.
I reckon you are getting your monie's-worth out of that cruising 'shute, it drives you for a good percentage of you're miles. Maybe start looking for a replacement, 'coz you'll miss it when it blows out! BTW, the pronunciation of Beaufort; not sure if its a NZ peculiarity (in which case ignore me) but back on Blighty we say 'bowfert' where 'bow' is emphasised and is the archery kind not the front of a boat. And I wholeheartedly agree that for the sailor who likes to observe and assess the conditions instead of relying on instruments, it is just the right kind of low tech info that is needed.
hahaha oh okay I looked that up... bowfuht! the spinnaker actually did blow out already on the trip back from chatham (2 videos previous to this one) and I sewed it back together. I was pushing it waaay too hard at the time. The previous owners where given it free, but never actually used it.
I made a big upgrade from what I started with. I have a 48v 2kw brushless outboard, from aliexpress. it appears in some recent videos but have a video coming about my motor setup soon... it's enough to get the boat in and out of tight spots but you still really need wind to go a long way (how I like it!)
@@dominictarrsailing I'm shortly going to put a 3kw Epropulsion electric outboard on my Tiki 26. I used it on my monohull for a few seasons with great success.
@@johnnyT428 excellent! will you recharge it on solar? I found a step up mppt controller that can charge the 48v battery using a single 18v(12v) panel, which is what made it viable for me
@@dominictarrsailing Yes I have a solar panel and controller, also it has 'regen' charging whilst underway putting 200w back in at 8 knots! My previous boat didn't go fast enough for it to be effective but a multihull is ideal.

Thanks! Yes i saved one forgotten dream!
It's impossible not to smile at the dolphins scene. What an amazing experience.

You should totally do a cooking while sailing show - maybe not full-time though. Seems I learn something new in every video. Thanks for sharing!
Great footage of your Pahi. Thanks for posting, please keep it up 👍🏽
Loving those shots looking at the boat underway from ahead! My favourite sailing/Wharram channel😀
thanks Johnny!
always like watching your show keep it coming Dominic
thanks Adrian!
Thanks for the wind noise reduction! I really can enjoy your videos even more 😊
Very nice trip! Thank you. Fun to see two bananas sailing.

Hi Dominic,
I’m loving all your adventures. Great stuff. Keep going.
I just realised that your name for her is actually a perfect response to the one Penny and I gave her, 34 years ago. “Imagine - Yes Let’s.”
Bon Voyages et Bon chance,

ha so it is!
Enjoyed your video, thank you. Look forward to the next episode...
thanks Paul!
Love watching you sail, Dominic. Thanks for posting these.
thanks mark!
Thanks for another great video. Very inspiring!
Yes- Let’s - You are not alone when you have dolphins with you! Xxx
that's right! I certainly feel welcomed when I arrive in a new place and a pod of dolphins turns up to say hello!
Another great video, I look forward to the next.
thanks!
Great planning 👍
Good stuff. That blue sail looks nice all filled with wind. Nice scenery. I grew up by the ocean but my family never had a boat either. I just received my captain’s lic in the states.

Congratulations, captian! Thanks!
I love your videos Dominic
Keep them coming
beeeautiful dolphin shots
thanks rich!
Nice run up to Welly Dominic!!! The kite repair looks very good, very skilled flying the kite without constantly trimming. You have quite the inventory of kites!!!
Thanks! The stripy one isnt actually a spinnaker, its a flat triangle and can go to windward, a bit at least!

Great Wharram sailing !
That was a great watch mate definitely something I'm interested in getting into offshore sailing
thanks! you may enjoy my series of videos just before this one, where I sail to chatham island (and back!)
what sort of sailing do you do currently?
Enjoyed your video. Yes the sound is much better. Great! Cheers, Craig
thanks Craig!
Hey dominic. Nice sailing, nice scenery. Keep it up, man!
Nice work Dom 👍😋

Wow, so cool the shot of the dauphins. The wind noise didn't bother me (used to sailing) but it's better.
