Herbie, I've watched - literally - hundreds of instructional videos about sailing. None made anything close to the sense your video makes. Awesome!! I actually get it! Thank you!
Thank you for a very clear description of a sail plan - you inspired us to think about what we need now! Would love to know more about balance and speed effects. Thank you again!
Good, explanation about sails. For people like myself who know little about sailing. But,enjoy watching others in thier adventures. We who cann't, for other reasons see what it,s like. So, we experince through you. Thank you, for the shareing.
thanks for the sail plan info. interesting to hear the reasoning. you're doing great with the sextant. and got to say... there is something really satisfying about watching the Monitor rotate the helm with just ropes... no micro motors whining or noise. I like things that just work. ;oD
Nice work on the celestial navigation. I upgraded from a plastic Davis sextant to a lightly used Ebay Indian ship salvager Astra IIIb clone and it's a world better. No frustrating readjustments for continuously going out of calibration due to warming and cooling. It was a great upgrade for about $300.
Herby...that was a great explanation! You answered many of the questions I've had for over a year. And Maddie...preparing food in the cockpit? You're amazing! May I have a copy of you for my very own First Mate pleeeeease?! Glad to see everyone clipped in! I only pray that other channels will watch your channel and follow suite. You know who you are! PEACE OUT! Ü
Hey Herbie,great to see a young bloke like yourself using the old fashion gear,and using it very well👍😊 You are a great sailer,when I first started to watch you,I so much wanted you to be doing some open ocean sailing,and now you are. How about that weather system all out of whack,but it's good now,so off you go⛵️👍😊
I have a question. Have you heard of the scutter rig? The Genoa is moved aft and the furling jib is moved forward of it. According to the design, in truly heavy weather, by moving the furling jib forward and reefed, because it’s forward, reduces weather helm. What are your thoughts on that?
It is true that it would reduce weather helm, as it would help pull the bow downwind. That design would be very dependent on the keel shape and position as it would have to work together to give you a balanced helm as the wind builds.
Thank you for the explanation of the Sail Plan. I've copied your diagrams and made notes. Very clearly explained. I assume you are following your gut at this point but at how many knots should I make the switch to each reef, particularly the 3rd? Appreciated.
It is by gut at this point. If we get to 15 degrees of heel, we think about reefing. If we make it to 20 degrees we do it now. Typical wind speeds for each reef in the mainsail are: 1st: 18-20 knots 2nd: 25 knots 3rd: 30 knots It is also important to reef, even if you are going downwind and the apparent wind is light. Always reef to what you would want flying if you were going upwind. Apparent wind is [true wind-boat speed]. So 25 knots of wind when going 5 knots on a run is actually 30 knots of true wind and you should be 3rd reef instead of 2nd. This is important because, say someone falls overboard, you now need to turn around and go back to them, which is upwind. You want to just do it and rescue them, not reef first and then turn around to rescue them.
Wow, thanks Perfesser, 'ats a fine hexplanashun uv factors involving various winds in cutters and sloops. And it seems you've mastered sextant readings; what's next - maybe latitude using your wristwatch? Mattie, thank you, thank you, thank you for waiting until I'd fixed my supper before whipping up your salad, else I'd have had some serious problems!
Yes, but I was trying to explain it in simple and easy to relate terms. If I started comparing the CE to the CLR, I might lose the attention of those who are just starting out in the sailing world.
Great explanation, thank you! But I have a serious question….was that mustard I saw being placed on the noodles? I’m equal parts concerned and fascinated.
Hey! What did you run the Bow into?! And why does it sound like the Intro to a Seventies R-Rated thriller? Do they still use the American Practical Navigator for Sightings and Tables? Like the shirts, but they HAVE to Have a POCKET on them. I'm sure you already Know about Hurricane Florence Forming Right now in the Southeast Atlantic. They have her projected to hit between Hatteras and Wilmington/Charleston in a few days...

You make it too damn hard to stop the frame so I can study the diagram at 7:03 ! Come on beauty queen, you could deprive us for a split second of your glorious image to let us see the diagram. After finaly freezing it where I could see the diagram both columns of cutter and sloop look exactly the same. I don't know what I'm missing !

For an introvert, Herby’s a phenomenal teacher. Loved the sail talk!
Herbie, I've watched - literally - hundreds of instructional videos about sailing. None made anything close to the sense your video makes. Awesome!! I actually get it! Thank you!
Thanks for the lesson, you explained this in a way that made sense instead of someone just telling me to memorize a bunch of stuff.
Another Great Instructional lesson from DR. Rigging ! I learned something today......Cetch-up
Finally favorable winds, about time. Herb keep practicing with the sextant. Pasta salad looks yummy. Happy sailing.
Many thanks for the sail plan explanations. It's all new to me.

Big tumb up from a Deck Officer for making old school navigation :)
Redundancy is your best friend.
I now FULLY Understand the storm trysail, and the NEED for one. Thanks, Herbie.
Any time!

I like soooo much what and how you guys are doing the sailing and explaining !!!

Thanks guys, as a beginner I have found this very helpful.
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback :)

Thanks for the sail plan update, l’ve learnt something today 😊😊
Grateful for this video- was super helpful for me... Bermuda Rigged Ketch... I am adding a sticky note to my wall for a trysail... thank you...🙏
It’s truly beautiful sailing.
Thank you! We really appreciate how vast and amazing the oceans really are.
Great info, great intro music, I was expecting Dirty Harry to be on the boat chasing down some bad guys … !
😎 do you feel lucky? 😁
@@RiggingDoctor punk’s always feel lucky … ha ha ha .
I had snapped the boom myself! When I was in sailboat races..
Ouch! That’s not a pleasant experience! Was it just from too much strain or did the end of the boom hit the water?
Still be nice to have a lesson on yawl v ketch and the sail plans.
enjoyed,, good luck..
Great instruction methinks!

@@RiggingDoctor Excellent. Another terrific explanation. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated!!
Where are you guys at, compared to the Hurricane's out there right now ??
We are currently safe from the hurricanes in the Azores :). Maddie is back in Maryland with family

I think the phrase you were looking for when talking about the sails is “centre of effort”
Yes, but I was trying to explain it in simple and easy to relate terms. If I started comparing the CE to the CLR, I might lose the attention of those who are just starting out in the sailing world.
Great explanation, thank you! But I have a serious question….was that mustard I saw being placed on the noodles? I’m equal parts concerned and fascinated.
Yes it was, and it’s delicious!
@@RiggingDoctor I’m trying it. I love mustard but have never done the noodle salad. Haha
..lizard, neeeew I shouldn't have had that lemon sorbet pudding!
🤣🤣
Herbie, ya gotta teach me navigation so I understand it better.
When I get back to the boat I’ll film a tutorial on noon sights

I HOPE you guys aren't At Sea.
Trisail question. With your main stowed (and I imagine the tack is still secured) how do you affix the tack of the trisail?
There is a pennant that runs from the tack of the sail to a strong point (usually a cleat on the mast) made out of webbing or rope.
I didn;t swallow Maddies plectrum ............... honestly I love her music

Do you ever use a riding sail at anchor?
We never did, but we would pile the boom out and that acted as a fair amount of windage which would keep us on a particular “tack” to the wind.
I love a Cutter 👍
