- A great sail across Whitsunday Passage to Airlie Beach anchored the boat off VMR at Cannonvale. I had a shower and shave on board then paddled ashore for a night on the town.
Great video thanks. Hope to see you on the next one with an harness and a life jacket 🛟
Loved that boat. She likes you right back and takes good care of you. She is some boat.
man after me own heart, chippies crack and all, no bull shit with you Simon
Peter I try to not be true to myself. Best Movie Lamont reef to Masthead in my opinion. Enjoy Safe sailing regards Simon
Thanks for all the bids. Really enjoyed them. 😀😀😀
Very nice Simon, getting better all the time. Finding that, thanks to your coverage, cannot wait to get over there and sail around a bit. Looks great.
nice going and great reefing Technic...that is a beautiful area to sail and explore
Simon,
AGAIN...your trip brought back great memories of my trip into ABeach.
The humpback whales came well into the bay and almost to the mooring area outside of the Whitsunday Sailing Club.
So...while it looks like you're done for this season...something to watch out for for the NEXT season.
Tremendously enjoy your videos.
Be sure to catch the WEEKLY dinner special at the WSC...great deal for about $10.
They'd just put in a NEW kitchen when I was there.
And...the farmers market...can't remember if it was Sat or Sunday's...had great veggies.
Smooth flying back to Bris to get the trailer.
Drive safely back to ABeach and then home.
Time to plan your NEXT YEAR's trip.
Perhaps...head further NORTH. Start at ABeach and End at Lizard?
That would be an awesome trip and great videos.
My 2 unsolicited cents.

A well heeled leg. Cheers Gray
PS to the lifeline Question , I sailed around southernTasmania in an M26 folk boat and rarely wore a safety harness only at night or in extreme conditions ! And a PDF when it thought it was needed ! But each to their own ! It's your choice I believe ! Cheers
Awesome mate thanks for your effort in a really great sailing vid ! And I've watched just about everyone of them on UA-cam ! Really well presented !
Thanks, Shane, for the feedback. It is a Hawkins pressure cooker . Nice boat a folk boat safe sailing regards Simon
cheers mate don't own one anymore got a colin archer 33 now give us a bit you'll see my vids on youtube all the best

Thanks Simon will be looking in to it . Regards Ray
Well done Simon. I guess you are probably currently preparing the boat for Hervey bay. Hope you post a few nice vids for us on your return :-)
Pulling the roller furling line seems much easier :)
Great vid thanks
Sailing single handed with a furling drum over run is a complete nightmare. Small furling sails cant be partially furled in without an aluminum extrusion on the forestay or the top half of the sail will unfurl under load which is also bad.
Slmon as for a life line I Wore one all the time when sailing by myself except one time I remember that time because I went over boaad wave I didn't see coming luckly I trail a float 100ft behind my boat an was able to grab it . always ware the safty line now. good luck
A clear case for fitting a roller reeling gear!!!!
Nice. For now, I have a hank on jib and no reef points (on my main, storm or genoa). Never had a roller furling system and from what I read lotsa weight (up high too), more crud to break, bad general purpose sail but, brother, looks easy to use. Soon I'm buying a 35-ish foot ocean going vessel. PLEASE comment about this: Less windage/weight and reliability of hank compared to roller furling. Many thanks.
Slab reefing is the easiest cheapest and safest.
You must be really good swimmer))
I missed most interesting - how did you set the foot of foresail after reefing.
Thank you
What was the most challenging stretch from Brisbane ?. Great video. !! Thanks for sharing
+Bob Mills Hi Bob, Brisbane to inside Wide Bay Bar
Hi Great videos. Always wear a life jacket or harness if alone as if you fell off the boat it would continue sailing away and you would be in serious trouble.
Imagine it )0:
have an 18 ft capri. want to use hank on jib. can i reef it? like you did w/ much larger boat? i could not see specifically what you did, but i liked the result!
Invest in a life jacket and life line, life is too short to shorten it by mishaps, Happy Safe Sailing to You
Great video, but I really wanted to see what you did when you were reefing the jib. Did you tie a line across the bottom of the sail then reef to that?
So I was looking at this again. Do you have some kind of reefing hook at the bow when you lower the sail ? And are you using 2 sets of jib sheets ? I couldn't see in the video. Thanks Sir.
Jason I have a large spring hook on the front work with one hand. I rig a spare jib sheet just before I reef and tie it on before I haul the jib back up. safe sailing regards Simon
@@simoncarteroz sounds good. Thanks for the reply. Sure enjoy you videos.
Hi Simon, don't You ever think of using a lifeline up on the foredeck?
+John Johansen
John, I have a safety harness and I am open to ridicule for not using it, not wearing a life jacket sailing alone, if I fall off I will perish quick if I am lucky. I believe everything I do on the boat has measured risks & rewards. I am not averse to wearing a harness and life jacket when things get rough and unpredictable, when the boat might have to look after me. Simon
You can't go far wrong in footy shorts!
@@simoncarteroz terrible way to die - you should try and be safer AND, we don't need any BS nonsense on risk and reward...
@@BigRed999 No one cares, least of all the guy who made the video. Bore off somewhere else.
No LIFEVEST??? You are playing dangerous games
Hi Simon is the generator two stroke or four stroke tried cooking my bread in pressure cooker and turned out really well . Ray from the austral 20 spencer gulf S.A
+Ray Rhyne Hi Ray kipor generator gs770 four stroke charging the battery through a step charge 14 amp

My kind of sailor. Who needs crew, right ?
i have a venture 17 is this the same /
Whats a tryler ?
no shoes either, a bad show with all those metal fittings, etc all over the deck!!
Lifeline??!!
You seem to do it the hard way (. I not talking roller reefing ) There is an easier quicker way to reef a head sail.
Pls do share!
