When I watched this video there was 13 dislikes so I guess there’s 13 people that get up half an hour earlier in the morning so they can hate the world half an hour longer 🤪🤔😳
Magic moment at 17:26 whilst Troy was setting up the staysail, and a huge blue mountain strolled up alongside the boat - it's not often when watching on a screen, that you get much hint of the size, weight and power of those waves, but that captures it. I'm quite glad I wasn't there.
Love to see those precious little gestures of growing crewmanship:passing the winch handle. Without a word and Hairy Whiskers fist pumping his cockpit mate God Bless you both! Eric from New Zealand
What I am noticing is no creaking, clanking, in the cabin under the conditions you were in. That shows the quality work you did in her re fit. It's nice see an old girl shine like she does . Good job .
Great to see Mirrool performing so well in testing conditions. Smashing job on the refit. That cutter rig makes me want to put Jazza's second furler back on!
A little scary for this land locked 70 year old. So much water and big waves plus a small boat.... I am impressed with you abilities to master those waves.
Was once the proud owner of a Manitou..they are a gracious saling vessel...designed by a naval architect.... And this one seems to be sailed by sailor... All the best to both you pirates....a ARRRAH... 🙏
Im no sailor, in fact I get sea sick in the shower but appreciate the skill and commitment required to pilot a boat like this in these conditions. You made it look so easy; great video.
Wow, what a sail. You two are legends and I’m *SO* stoked to be a Patron of yours. I’ve sailed the Bass Strait myself, and it’s always a beast. You made it all look plain easy! Love cutter rig - it was what we had in Adventure for the Whitbread Round the World Race in 73/4. Each ‘slot’ providing power, just when you need it, and with a low centre of effort. 👍🏼💥🤛🏽💯⛵️👏🏽🎉
That was some of the best footage of waves I’ve ever seen. I’ve never sailed in my life, I watch people do it on here and This was something a lot different. Amazing to see the rigging and everything in practice and working so well. Congrats of your refit and just everything.
It is really fantastic fantastic fantastic to see you two back doing what you love and do best, taking the boat and our lives to the limit. God bless and protect you as you move forward.
If you watch Skip Novac's Storm Series, he removes his anchor chain from the anchor and stow's it all below and has a water tight cap with covers the anchor chain hawse pipe for that very reason.
Our boat came with a windlass cover that I always felt was ridiculous. It holds moisture under the cover because it never really dries, and makes no sense when the boat is at a dock, on anchor, or stored on the hard. Now I know why it was really made and what it is for! Our anchor locker is completely above the water level and is separated from the V-berth with a watertight bulkhead. It has its own drain above the water level too. But excessive seawater running in and out probably isn't great. The drain could always plug up I suppose.
@@FreeRangeLiving Great vid! We're refurbishing the anchor chain locker on our 30ft sloop and discovered there were no drain holes at all... curious if Mirrool has any drains in her locker? And if not, why?
Finally ... Mirrool gets a chance to show her stuff in the open ocean! I could feel the boat's motion, felt the spray on my face, said hello to the dolphins and seals, and of course dealt with the hatch leaks! Well done Troy and Pascale ... all your work resulted in a renewed cruising vessel!
OMG 😱 WOW ‼️ At the beginning........and all through the episode, Mirrool just seemed to like her nose up at the sky, proud as a peacock,and just shine in he new look,almost seemingly with new power. Just awesome ‼️ ✨🌊⛵️🏝👙🍷🌞✨
Awesome video, good to see sailers that set a time and leave, and just deal with the weather.... :) I have sailed off the coast of Albany and Dampier in small 22’ boats, it brought back very happy memories of rough weather sailing. Stay safe you two, and above all, remember to have fun..... Jack n Steve
Good practice waves! I added a boom brake made from a rock climbing figure eight. Slows down the boom swings in a blow. I also wear a kayak helmet on rough days. So easy to hit your head in a fall or from flying "stuff". Getting hit from the boom is the second greatest cause of death on a sailboat after drowning. Loved the video. Can't wait to finish up my winter bottom work and get back out there. After a few short trips, I will be looking to jump waves too!
Awesome. Watching the bunk/anchor footage on a mobile phone in a cold room is worryingly realistic and claustrophobic, apart from no exhaustion, disorientation or movement, this video is extremely close to real sailing. Even the gybe gave me that flutter before a real gybe when you aren't helming.. What a gem, Thanks :)
So good to see you both back out on the water. Mirrool looks beautiful, and as ever the production quality shines through. I always feel I’ve learnt something after every video, so thank you!
We use expansion plugs at work they come in all sizes depending on your anchor pipe hole ID. Otay Gripper makes some nice ones but there are all kinds available for oil etc. That was a cool video by the way. I love to see how it is on the passages. Cheers.
@@FreeRangeLiving How about a small plumbers inflatable test ball it has the Schrader valve to keep it pumped from inside the chain locker. It would fill the oval up they where designed to test building sewer lines for leaks. With 10 feet head pressure filled up in the lines.
Well done. Chain locker cap idea, shackle chain to eyebolt on top and bottom of cap. Cap can then go down with anchor as part of chain. Could be either PVC or stainless with a large O-ring to increase waterproofness. Cheers and thanks.
So glad you're back out on those gorgeous blue waves again. Pretty good shake out voyage too! I'm so looking forward to more :-) Here on the Kennet & Avon canal, we're out of lockdown, the water is brown, the wind is gusting 30 knots and, yes, it's raining cats and dogs! Your blue waters and space look so inviting! :-)
I keep wishing you fair winds and following seas, but this is the second time that I didn't wish the following seas to be so big! Edit: At the risk of repeating myself, your skills at capturing images and editng them continue to raise the bar, as does the storytelling skill. Warm greetings from the piedmont of Georgia, USA.
I've followed your refurbishment and enjoyed the quality of your workmanship, The interior of the boat is on a par with any new plastic boat of the line. The white normally looks plain but the use of the coloured timber edging has lifted the whole interior to an excellent level. The over all look of boat has been capped off by the new Hardtop its an impressive boat. I have learned a lot from your renovations I especially enjoy in depth explanations. Keep up with the videos Thanks Chris
What a trip! Boat looking like she's performing very well - I like the Cutter rig! Will be interesting to see ow she performs beating into the wind with just the staysail/jib, compared to before with a reefed genoa..
Nice job, that was really great to watch. It looked pretty scary at times. The filming was really good as well. Gives you a great insight as to what your going through. Exhilarating worth the wait for sure 😮👍😆
One of your best episodes. You two make it all look so easy especially considering the videos tend to undersized wave height. And the boat looks like new and probably is much better than new. Be safe. Thanks.
You guys, this was great seamanship!! Thanks for taking us along! I throughly enjoyed the roller coaster ride! A solution to your anchor locker leakage, use a fist full of plasticine where the anchor chain drops down below.... All the best, Richard
Great effort FR been through those waters cruising and racing both ways years ago and have fond and damage ha ha memories. You beat the current crop of You Tube Carribean day sail crusaders who baulk at 20 knots and seem to believe their yacht life should be financially supported by others and is so challenged, special and treacherous. Keep it up your in a great part of the world..
I love her nervous laugh . Great set up with your hard dodger & that S/S hand hold bar , Hey i herd the WA is locked down again Couse they found a guy who didn't no he was sick until the test with a 95% discrepancy told him he was - Crazy . Stay-sail my favourite sail in any thing over 25 Kts & with a triple reefed main ... Just luverly , Only took me 30 years to realize you dont need extra sail up to be COMFORTABLE & Just as Quick .. Fair winds .
Patrick Childress had a good tip for sealing up the hawse pipe with kid's plasticene molded around the chain. I've used it on our boat, it works well. Doesn't matter when you forget to remove it when you drop the hook, it just mashes off as it goes over the gypsy and is easy to replace.
This channel gives the real vicarious sailing experience 👍. Amazing how your boat deck is right there close to the water line 😳 Troy would have to make my safety harness with FOUR lines, one for each of my limbs 😂. Kind of like Bill Murray in “What about Bob” .. 😂. You both narrate very well and could of had a side gig narrating for Jacques Cousteau 👍 Safe journey home 🥳. Cheers, Matthew in SoCal.
Well done what a great video and great sailing...looking forward to the next video.Can not wait...Troy you have a great Gal there Pascale is a legend and you too of course
Wow what a awesome sail. Boat really looks lovely . That was some wild seas..but your vessel went through it like a trouper, really great video guys. Take care and be safe..two thumbs up.😎👍👍

Great footage from day 1 , boat looks great ,crew look happy !!!

Now that's what I call proper sailing... nicely captured and edited... 🙂👍
That was quite s wild ride,but u2 are the ones to do it with backlaid attitude. We would freak 😂
Wow, you guys are true blue water sailors.
The best sailing vids I've seen on TH-cam.

She's a good tight, quiet little ship
What a fantastic sail, absolutely exhilarating. Really got a sense of the wave sizes; photography was awesome. Thanks for the ride!
Great to see Mirrool performing so well in testing conditions. Smashing job on the refit. That cutter rig makes me want to put Jazza's second furler back on!
The boat looks absolutely fantastic! That is quite some waves for a vessel that size, you two are obviously very skilled in handling it so well!
Now THAT was a sailing episode! Good job.
The BEST sailing channel for those who like true sailing! Good on ya, mates!
Glad you’re back in the water sailing again Troy and Pascale! Looking forward to some more yummy recipes and adventures you two.

Nothing like a Clansman, sail her anywhere, a beautiful well balanced boat

I appreciate your commentary very much. I always learn something from your videos. Thanks so much.

We used to use a plug but Muir winch needs a hole that's not round. Annoying. A Sunbrella canvas cover works

I have to agree with many comments say this is sailing, very enjoyable to watch, well done 👍
Looks like Pascale has her sea legs back, eating breakfast and washing dishes in those swells.
This is an absolutely brilliant portrayal of sailing in the Southern Ocean. Well done you two.
well done !! a wet bumpy ride !! never mind .., better than a day in the office !! Fair winds ........ Cheers from Muros-Galicia
It is really good watching sailing in australia.much appreciated.
THAT was FUN Glad you Passed the Rough Stuff OK and Only the Chain Locker leak GREAT JOB Thanks for Sharing 👍👍👍
Great sailing windy and beautiful. I bet that's the most alive you guys have felt in a while. Loved the video.
I've seen people turn around with a 50ft catamaran on that route, it must be a wild ride on a 30ft monohull, love it though.
Mirool looks like she is going well with not too bad a motion for 30ft in lumpy seas...!!
This is sailing!
The outstanding video of the year for me. Great sailing , a lot of the other channels have turned into travel logs.
Wow, at 17:22 great shot that really provides a look at swell size.
So good to see you both back out on the water. Mirrool looks beautiful, and as ever the production quality shines through. I always feel I’ve learnt something after every video, so thank you!

Thank you for an excellent video. You have both been inspirational over the years. Particularly the last 14 months. Cheers Tony Woollcombe
Nice to see you back on the water. Some nice sailing to work out the cobwebs....
Good to see you enjoying the fruits of your labors!
Cool to have actual sailing, now rather unusual on sailing channels these days. More please. Thanks
The boat looks brand new and sailing fantastic from our views. Great video as always.
Well done. Chain locker cap idea, shackle chain to eyebolt on top and bottom of cap. Cap can then go down with anchor as part of chain. Could be either PVC or stainless with a large O-ring to increase waterproofness. Cheers and thanks.
Okay. So now I understand what folks mean when they talk about 'blue water' sailing. Simply amazing!!
So glad you're back out on those gorgeous blue waves again. Pretty good shake out voyage too! I'm so looking forward to more :-)

One of the best sailing videos i've watched. Thanks guys
I don't know much about sailing, but I know a Troy masterclass when I see one. Thanks for sharing Troy and Pascale!!
Wow, that was heavy! You guys are great sailors, inspirational!
Yes, pumping out the anchor locker, can be a "drain"..lol Nice pun Pascal. Great video. Yippy sailing again. . Tc.

Beautiful footage in high winds and waves. Very enjoyable. Different kind of sailng thank up here in Scandinavia. Thanks
good job guys - great to see you out and about again after the refurb! safe passage
That's sailing. I love this vlog. Sailing like no others. Hats off to you 2. XXXXXX More please.
Surfing seals. A first for me. Tazzy. 🦜
Great to see safety first ... well harnessed in ... hardly ever see this is sailing vids.
Every episode eagerly anticipated and thoroughly enjoyed, thanks very much guys!
Love the idea of using a 30 ftr to sail around the coast of Oz...Had same idea in mind and hope to fulfill my dreams in time...nice sailing
Great to see you guys out on the water again. Cant beat the cutter rig in those conditions in and out with the furler happy days. Stay safe.
You guys, this was great seamanship!! Thanks for taking us along! I throughly enjoyed the roller coaster ride!
A solution to your anchor locker leakage, use a fist full of plasticine where the anchor chain drops down below....

What an excellent sail the southern ocean treated you well, great job guys.
Looking brilliant there guys - she's a lovely boat! I have to say the from view of the dodger really reminds me of a Star Wars stormtroopers helmet!!
You are back sailing awesome. I enjoyed the refit but was really awaiting the water again. Be safe and we will sail with you!

Also, enjoyed the over video narration. Nice touch.
Brilliant guys, I've sailed all my life this is top class doing it sailing, men from the boys comes to mind .
Outstanding! I always enjoy watching you two sailing on your lovely Mirrool. May you all be blessed on this very important passage home.
The boat goes like the clappers great video
