I encourage dinghy sailing/cruising in small boats and do many trips a year. Instead of being a buzz kill saying what I would/do do differently for safety/comfort, I'd ask you. If you did this more, what would you do differently?

Radical

Appreciate the video man. They really oughta just start making these cars again the way they were. Maybe add a Bluetooth system or something.

My 1986 240 gl doesn’t have it. It is in a tropical climate. Does it need it?

👍 good video, thank you 😀

Still useful in 2024, thanks! Also, for anyone reading this, you might have some luck driving the pin out with a clamp

Is it possible that the pin could be stuck in such a way that the spring wouldn't let the flap close to allow warm air in hence causing a cold start issue? I have brought my car to three shops for a cold start issue and nobody has thought of this as the culprit but I think this might be the problem. I may just hope I haven’t fried the MAF while looking for the answer. One mechanic took it out on a drive and told me to "Rev the engine" to get passed the cold start issue cause then the car ran fine except for poor fuel economy. Ordered the part. I really hope this is my answer.

Best soundtrack ever! I've got the same boat, an '84 Holder. I would love to sail it to Catalina; but being in NY, I'd say it would take me a while. Great job!

how did you get around the oxygen sensor thats in the cat converter?

I sailed a laser from king harbor to emerald bay back in 79 , I was young and stupid but I got there fast., half way over I realized that I didn't even bring a bottle of water let alone a rack of banquets.

Considering doing the same! Was it worth it? Would you do it again? And where did you stay... beach camping?

You guys saved $75 good job!!!

We take my buddies Catalina 18' to the island every year for the club stag cruise.... Props for doing it on a tiny boat!

Lmao respect..

More like no exhaust lol. Mines the same, fell off after the first muffler under the car, now I'm planning on straight piping it possibly with a glass pack.

this is cool

You showed everthing except pulling the spring down far enough so that the thermostat drops out & installing the new thermostat. I have put my new thermostat into the refrigerator to reduce the length of the pin. Is there a tool that can help pull the spring down far enough so that the old thermostat drops out easily and the new thermostat is easy to replace.

Not sure how you guys didn't sink. With those massive balls.

The advantage of sailing such a small boat to Catalina is that you don’t need a dinghy to get ashore 👍

Impressive! I aspire to do something like this one day! I’ve heard local legends of a guy who made the crossing in a jet ski once. I can’t tell if that’s bravery or stupidity at that point

This is how much I know . I didn't even think a boat under 25 ft could sail to Catalina. Great video

Many thanks for a good video, it was well explained. I will check this on my 240.

Where did y'all launch from?

You guys are awesome! Not many can say they have sailed to Catalina on a tiny sailboat! I'm sorry to hear you sold her though. A great little sea worthy dingy! I hope you get another boat and never quit sailing! Cheers!

Thanks!!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪

Where did u get those fenders from? Plz lmk man.

Cool fun music also last few seconds of video is really funny

Truly an amazing video, 10/10 production value and cinematography

haha u guys r v funy

Awesome guys. Wish I could get a group of dinghy sailers together to sail Dry Tortuga's in Florida. I'm going to do it eventually on my 16footer.

Looks like a blast, I’d give you a thumbs up for the adventure but drinking while boating is not the smartest thing to do even if one is the dedicated skipper, if something happens to him people that have been drinking are now taking charge and are responsible. Don’t mean to be a buzzkill but I’ve see the effects. Keep up the adventures but play safe and when you anchor then party.

Did you stay over night? Long trip for one day

I think that is useless here in the Caribbean

Hey man, shoot me a message on Instagram, I have some questions about your vagabond! Instagram @jharris002

Is it still available?

Absolute mad lads. Excellent video

Micheal, we took the Duck a L’Orange out today for our first sail on Lake Perris. Thanks for taking such great care of her! We had an absolute blast. ⛵️❤️

very cool DIY, respect

hey, i ordered a new thermostat and (silly me) pulled out the pin...can i still use it now?

If it's ok to ask, what are the dimensions of the daggerboard and rudder? Especially the rudder linkage. I've got my own vagabond 14 that has neither and I can't find anything online.

I have a Hobie One 14 which is really the same boat. You have given me some inspiration.

Did your car go dead in different gears before you repaired it ?

Gotta come here to figure out how to dismount this f** stick, thank you man

I want ittttttt

Now thats what i like to hear when going down the Street.

why did you show every part except the hardest: Getting the thermostat into position?

Pretty much just a high revving tractor engine. Love the sound of it. How loud was it?

From where do you find the replacement thermostat? and do you know the diameter of this thermostat?
