Looked like a fun day(s) sailing, The really nice thing about a sailboat is that you don't have to make reservations at a campground, just throw out the hook. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
I'm not a sailor but this trimaran excites the HECK out of me! ... every time I see it cuttin' thru the H2O. Thanks for including the audio of surrounding environment, also! :D I'm not a big 'looped-music' guy so I love to hear what you are actually experiencing - boats, trains & planes included lol
Living all our dreams............ I cant believe I am 70 y.o. already. I want to do what you do so bad! But I am battery operated now with a cardiac pacemaker. Happy to be alive, but wish I did what I wanted to do, 30 years ago................ Life is short, play hard, and love long!
Billy, when you are “Surfing the tops of the waves” if you are in the Gulf Stream that is one of the most favorable places to be speed wise for a sailboat. You were capturing the energy of the 1)Wind and 2) Current of the Gulf Stream. No wonder you showed up to Biscayne Bay So quickly!
Happy Sailing ⛵️
After a huge binge watching 3 weeks I am upto to date and then your latest vlog pops up - been a great journey and looking forward to seeing all the future experiences you will share
Vice Captain Jetty. What a happy, happy dog. When he's sitting up there helping you helm he is truely smiling. And when there is action in the cockpit his is looking to help. Love you jetty.
I know diddly squat about sailing but I just want to say just how much I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Thank you, and very best wishes to you both.
Loved the two camera view of raising the spinnaker. You three rock!
Kudos for role modelling sun protection for Jetty and yourselves
Jetty had a BIG smile on :) I've said it before but that little tri looks a whole lot of fun
If you pull on the traveller on the leeward side it will help stop the flogging of the mainsail in those confused seas. You obviously need to release during the jibe but it also helps manage the mainsail when jibing. Centreboard vibration that's when you know you're really cooking along.
The hum is from the wind caressing the rigging like guitar strings .... it's a magical part of sailing!
On Adrenaline we had that but not on this boat. It’s a slightly different hum and most definitely from the daggerboard and/or rudder. It’s subtle but if it’s not subtle you can sand a 45degree angle on the trailing edge of the boards to reduce it.
On my old F24, we used to strap the main (sheet in almost all the way) right before a jibe. After the turn is complete and the kite has come across you can adjust the traveler and ease the main back out. Less wear and tear on the boat. Keep up the cool videos.
generally we do the exact same thing but when the wind is pretty light I’ll just handle the main sheet across and absorb the pull on the other side of the jibe. Not something I would recommend to anyone but it works fine in light winds and you don’t have to sheet in and out a ton of line
@@Tulasendlesssummer when will we see you guys wing foiling? 😃
Never knew a sailboat could go that fast until I started watching your channel
It's a trimaran. They are notoriously fast at the expense of everything else.
Our 20ton cruising catamaran did 19kts in our last episode...but for us cruisers....that is scary fast and not to be repeated often 😅
how do you guys only have 147k subs??? ive been watching since you had the trawler love from AUSTRALIA 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
Me too buddy lol!!
It can be a challenge fitting a Bimini on the Tris.
Thanks for sharing the tip on the towels.
Top o the morning to you and the Captain too! Great vid very informative, scooting right along.
I like the video! You’ve really helped me determine that I will stick with my motor boat, way too much work! 😅
Hard work but a fantastic lifestyle. So pleasurable.
We tie the boom to one side while going down wind to prevent mainsail flap
A fitting vlog after we just got 0 sleep in an awful swell! Thanks for sharing
At the very end with Sarah diving in the water. That was epic. You should work that into your intro sometime.
Yeah dead down in light air can be a drag... your tri moving at about the speed of the wind behind you means no breeze in your face at all! yuk. Love the channel, you guys are a joy to 'hang out' with. Cool long sleeve t-shirt dude! Beautiful chute... and nice description of how to trim. I'd love to sail with you!
You guys are awesome been bench watching
Thanks for posting and sharing. Sorry to hear that Sierra got the rope burn. I know how badly that smarts. Best wishes.
Awesome episode. Y’all are such beautiful people!
Agree 100%
Tavernier Key?!?! You were a hundred yards from my house!!! I might have passed you that day on my boat on my way out or in from the reef!! Another great video!!! One day hopefully we can meet up!!! You owe me a day of sailing!! :)
And now, sailing lessons with Billy !
just curious ,what speed is comfortable to maintain when you're motoring...how far can you go?
Looks SOOOO fun. (Of course I sit here in my aircon room while you're out there in the heat and humidity.) Armchair sailing at its best. I WANT a Corsair 880! BTW, does it rock at night? I heard it can.
The way we have it loaded up for cruising both floats sit just slightly in the water at rest so no it does not rock. When it is empty one float always sits out of the water and it can rock just a bit then.
@@Tulasendlesssummer Thanks. Was thinking if tri's did rock...would be cool to have some sort of balloons you could inflate on them at night. Or if the floats could be lowered a bit. You guys rock!
Getting a bunch of ice on a burn INSTANTLY often shuts down the generation of the cytokine messengers that initiate the inflammatory processes and may prevent the blistering and pain. Ice doesn't have to be on there very long. Maybe five minutes.
Nice to see a video
I hope you show at least some of the big day . That and please go over what new boat it is that you are having built . I forget what you told us . I know it is a cat but what size and so on is something I forget
“Comfort is an illusion. A false sense of security, bred from familiar things and familiar ways. It narrows your mind, weakens your body, and robs your soul of spirit and determination. Comfort is neither welcome nor needed."
Who said it?
@@Tulasendlesssummer its a quote from an unknown United States Marine Corp Sergent that is taught as mindset to every Marine. I share it as motivation not criticism
Boom was bangin' pretty good. Did you consider a preventer? New Corsair owner, so I'm actually curious. Thanks!
Welcome to the Corsair Trimaran World, we purchased a Corsair 880 sport shortly after Billie & Sierra did a in depth review of the 880 Sport and when they hit 21.2 knots I knew that was our future boat......
@@scable-eq7bp Sweet! 970 here, but I have some work to do to it before we splash it. Code 0, but no Asym (yet).
I hate the alternating caps text. That's a trend that needs to die. Thank you for the upload.
I love you guys. Living the dream
1st. As always thanks for sharing the Journey!
Gloves Gloves Gloves!
Love the music, love the episode, love the lifestyle and most of all Jetty, Sierra and Billy! Sierra, you know you have that Cameron Diaz Vibe! Lol
Never sailed, thanks for your vid. How come you don't have a pfd for your dog.thanks again like your Channel
cool dog.... mine would be jumping in the water all the time ugh
What a GREAT video!! That last shot of Sierra diving in was just magical!!! ♥️
Any time you are on the ocean side of Key Largo you have to stop at Dry rock reef and snorkel Christ of the abyss.
we are planning on going there after hurricane season :-) good info, thanks!
Such a fun video…
Sorry about your hand, those burns hurt.
What is the chart program you are using on your iPad ? Thanks
It looks like the Navionics program, a great platform, and u can use it on multiple devices at the same time.!
We love Navionics:) Billy talk about our set up here : th-cam.com/video/cba7OnTQbs0/w-d-xo.html
...Tula Shop, sailing gloves...Stat!...lol
(ShOULD SAiLiNG be CoMfOrTaBLe) was there something wrong with your keyboard!
Should have kept the trawler. Easier to boat in.
Sierra has to be one of the most attractive women on TH-cam,she should really think about doing a bikini calendar because she fills out a bikini very nicely
Brandy wears gloves
👍
That dog looks so uncomfortable. lol
Huh?
Have You ever jumped into the Ocean Only to be Surprised by a Shark swimming near by?
Tula’s Endless Trustfund....
🤣🤣
Or wear gloves
Wear gloves handling those lines so you don't burn your hands like that
What a life … isn’t it great.
👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏
COMFORT IS BORING
Wear a mask on a sailboat.. ya
What a fun sail! My little boat won't go that fast but it does surf and yeah, that is fun! Sierra is a genuine mermaid. Thanks for the tip about microfiber towels too.
Very beautiful 😄
Hi Sierra & Billy, very cool video, since we purchased our Corsair 880, we added a Rainman portable water maker to the boat, our is powered by a Honda engine, it's been averaging about 37 gph of fresh water, it's so nice to get a fresh water shower, Julie's not to keen on the salt water shower. Our next item we are adding is some form of portable air conditioning,.for weekend cruising I think something like a swamp cooler might fit the bill, we have an ice maker on board so ice would not be a problem and if its to hot we well just keep our asses home in our condo in Key Largo and suck up the Central AC
Thanks for sharing your decision making process on when and where to sail. Another great video!
Îyyyyyt8 is a
8 ok oOoOO it k7i
Great stuff! We loved that closing shot, and what a way to end a great day! Totally our style.
Oooo..Love the sailing footage...nice...fun to watch....Hey!...your shop has really cool stuff...hmmm.
la vagabond is buying tri
On the high speed runs with the kite up, you three (dog included) should have life jackets on. If anyone falls over, the boat continues blazing downwind gaining distance from MOB quickly. Then only one left on to singlehandedly get the chute down. By that time, you're 1/2 mile away and will slowly sail close-hauled to point of incident, from where the person may have drifted significantly. From experience, I know it's 45 minutes to an hour in the water waiting for single-hander to return to scoop you up under high-speed conditions.
Your sailboat should be comfortable because of the amount of time and thousands of hours the three of you spend on it I am looking forward to seeing the new yacht
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes and no... when you're sailing the sea's no its never comfortable BUT it's a hella experience! When you're at anchor YES! or at least it should be. But then to each their own!
You guys are so fun and enjoyable to watch!
You guys are living my dream. I chartered a 30 foot Hunter in 1990 from Florida Yacht Charters and Sales and took two weeks, sailed from Miami to Key West, and back. Learned what Fantasy Fest was all about, beat myself up tacking on the way back in 30 knot North East winds in Hawks Channel. It was so rough that the goop on the bottom of the fuel tank killed our fuel filter. Lesson Learned: Bic Pen works fine as a stop-gap replacement for a gummed up fuel Filter. Not recommended for long motor life though…
When will you go back to. Life guarding the love of your,life,, Every. Summer. You stop sailing. And went back north to guard
Every sailboat has a sweet spot and you know when you find it
Get you a pair of leather gloves 🤦♂️
Hope you guys went into the lagoon right there in key biscayne and there is a restaurant right there boaters cove.
Only if you sail on glass would it be CoMfOrTaBLe.
Real talk some tiger owner needs to send this lady some sunscreen for her face
I can't be the first it's purrr-fit LOL sorry couldn't resist.
What happened to your Bimini
Private school easy life.
I love how Jetty looks so nonchalant
Tom Cruz twin🤣🤣🤣
Vaga copied you. Lol
drift n on the gulf strm?
happy dog!
Gloves
I love to watch your comfortable sailing. It’s great. That’s a great boat.
Billy, when you are “Surfing the tops of the waves” if you are in the Gulf Stream that is one of the most favorable places to be speed wise for a sailboat. You were capturing the energy of the 1)Wind and 2) Current of the Gulf Stream. No wonder you showed up to Biscayne Bay So quickly!
Happy Sailing ⛵️
yeah stay out of the sun--been an outdoor guy my whole life,surfing,skiing,bikes,camping ,fishing,sailing,motor boats,you name it--my sis is 71,looks 40,not much sun,i am 69 and have the wrinkles to prove it!
I love that you're using a bag closer as a pointer when describing the wind! LOL I love those things...but always running out of them. Good description of the winds that you're looking for, though. Thanks.
Have enjoyed your videos. I am a F28R owner and would like to pass along a tip I figured out in the Sea of Cortez. If the swells are bumping you and your main around, rig a preventer from the down wind ama to the main. Not having the main flopping around in swells makes the ride more comfortable.
When you guys go spear fishing do you get close to sharks that's dangerous right 👍👍💪💪🐟🐟stay safe roberto.torres long pond Pennsylvania
Please Read.
A few months back when you was getting ready to head off off on the boat for longer than your little day trips that she was doing that at the beginning when he was getting used to new pup and you asked the question do you need to take the generator and I said absolutely positively there is people that was out there has been selling for 15 years and they’ve needed a generator so many times just a little one and I said take it. Do you regret for one secondTaking your viewers advice and taking your little generator with you?
Speaking of comfort, how hot is it down there? Do you have A/C that you run occasionally? This might have been shot a couple of months ago when it was far cooler that it is now.
I noticed your Navionics program, so what do you use for your Weather? Is it an overlay program with it, or do you use another tablet,device for weather separate?
A phrase you do not often hear "When your washing your clothes in a bucket"! Sailing hands and burns I am surprised you do not wear gloves.
