I have the exact same identical boat in an 81 version still sitting on the factory original EZ loader trailer And I am thrilled to have found your channel just by watching I have learned so much about my boat that I did not know and I am looking forward to the day that I can join you
Looks like your dock would be an ideal candidate for backing into as prop walk would be in your favor. Making a right turn you’re fighting the prop walk.
Thank you. I'm glad that it was helpful to you. I know I tend to talk a lot in some of my videos. My hope is that in explaining what I'm doing and why I'm doing it, others might learn from me or offer suggestions for how I can improve my workflow and technique so I can learn something myself. What kind of boat are you learning on?
You can't sink a C25 by leaving the keel up, unless you're in the middle of a hurricane. It will heel like there's no tomorrow, toss everything in the cabin around, terrify you, and then bounce right back. Ask me how I know this. 😅
Brother I'm tired from just watching you. Guns, Cars, Hunting and Fishing are plenty for this old bird, Oh and family that's important too. Good to see your enjoying life my friend.
That was a great sail, ty I just bought my first sail boat 83 cape dory 25d... going to learn on puget sound Wa state... thanks again for the video,Subbed
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll be sailing in Puget Sound from Bellingham to the San Juans the end of July this summer. I envy you for your home sailing waters.
Yes it was. My only regret was being over cautious and reefing before I got started. With the storms we had that evening, I still think it was the right thing to do though. It would have been a perfect day for full main and 110.
Thanks. What is it about my setup that you are particularly interested in? I'll actually be making some changes soon to my running rigging. It currently serves the purpose but it is the bare minimum at the moment. I guess some of my future videos should include a before and after discussion of the changes I'll be making.
I did run out of battery that day. Fortunately for me, the thunderstorms that began moving in created a dead calm for literally the 10 minutes it took me to drop the sails and get the boat to the dock and tied up.
We boaters and sailors are always thinking about our next bigger boat. Unfortunately (or perhaps Fortunately), due to the depth of my marina, and thier lack of support for larger sailboats, I am limited to something that drafts less than 4 feet and can be launched from a trailer. There is no mast stepping crane or tower, and no launching sling anywhere on my home water.
@@christrouten9606 Yes, you do the best you can, with what you've got.. Thank you for that. Fortunately, I live close to the Ocean, where is many options.. All the best to you..Cheers! from Van, Canada.

I'm watching many videos to learn to sail and this was one of the best!

Joe! I was just cyberstalking you about a week ago wondering what you have been up to. We should get back in touch.
That was a great sail, ty

Great day! Nice video!

Nice sail! I’d be really interested in what all you’ve added to the boat. I’m considering a Catalina 25 and like how you seem to be set up.

You can buy mine! Clearwater fl! C-25
Good job. Hoping to see you bring it to the dock with that cross wind. Must have run out of battery. I sail a 27 cat solo on bigger water.

Very good.
I was kinda looking forward to the docking part of the video ;)
Sorry, I ran out of battery power. I'll try to get a docking video up at some point.
Great video - what lake is this?
This is C.J. Strike Reservoir in Southern Idaho.
What Garmin do you have?
I can't think of the exact model. It's a low end Echomap without touch screen. Maybe a 73cv?
That a good heads up.. buy a bigger better boat.. Thank you.

Terrible audio.
Spot on for “how to sail a catalina 25” in person.
