    We love Rolly Tasker for supporting you! No one deserves new sails more than you do. Rolly Tasker is on the top of my list for quotes next time I need new sails.

    Big congrats on 100k. Thumbs up Rolly Tasker. I cant believe you sailed the caribbean and entire pacific with a hank on headsail. The next 180° around the globe will feel like a holiday, I'm sure. Thanks

    So glad you finally got a furl! Your life just got MUCH easier (and drier). Just make sure you read up on halyard wrap in the manual and if the geometry isn’t absolutely perfect, fix it. It’s easy to do and will save you a world of hurt.
    Darwin is sure a lot snazzier than it was in 1985 when I was there and there were
    Crocs swimming around in front of the Sailing Club.
    Good luck, keep having fun!

    "the Darwin Sailing Club they seem pretty chill" is probably the understatement of the year. It's very appropriate that you fitted your Rolly Tasker headsail in Australia.

    Cool. Beautiful sail and furler. Good to know about fore stay tightness and the click.
    What I know about furlers.
    1. If in furling doesn't work well or it lags and goes, lags and goes... the halyard is loose. (Seems obvious now...)
    2. Watch out for chaffing around the frames at the furler drum. If when the sail is unfurled or furled Is the in furling line is rubbing against the drum/frame..? If so it'll chafe through the line. Especially after days and weeks at sea.
    If it does this, sometimes you can adjust the line a bit. Some boats have a frictionless ring as a guide near the furler to keep the line centered on the drum. (We had problem #1 because we had to replace the line because of problem #2... and didn't tighten up the halyard when we were done.)
    There are a lot of far more experienced sailors and riggers than me, but if they haven't spent weeks and weeks on a passage, some of the chaffing issues have never become a problem. (And you've both sailed more then me... of course you know all of this ..)

    So crazy 🤣 I was literally at the yacht club last month. Oi it son is based in Darwin. If you guys get chance for a little R n R, go to berry Springs for a fresh water swim, and the Humpty doo hotel for a feed. Definitely worth the chill factor before hitting the ocean.
    Must be so good having a fella with you now for moral support, brain storming and emotional support
    You guys suit each other well
    Looking forward to seeing the next adventure 🍺

  • @DavidTangye
    @DavidTangye 4 місяці тому +1

    Excellent work. Sounds like you have the mast set with less rake, so it will be worth checking how she sails; probably less weather helm on a reach and upwind, and perhaps a little less pointing ability upwind, especially in fresh winds and more. Hopefully she is still within what performance you are happy with, even as a cruiser. Check that you are happy with it before going too far. That new foresail will help a lot, and make sailing feel different too. It will be interesting to see how yo find sailing her now. Cheers.

    It feels so good to get it done, doesn't it?
    Now you've got a Gucci roller furling system, what next, a crystal chandelier for the salon?
    You mentioned the time of your videos, but I did not get it in terms of how long ago this one was made.
    Also, I'd like to see a video that has a big chart on which the path of your entire journey is tracked, with your commentary about the various places you've been and the things that have stuck with you.

    Congrats, I always wondered why any sailloft hasn’t sponsert you already. Now you only need Yanmar or other quality Maschine provider to sponsor a new engine. The old 10 hp Buck is very asthmatic, and 2 of 3 cylinder are running much smoother.
    The Grinde is very dependent on good foresails to get the full speed potential out of her, it will definitely be a hole new boat handling and speed wise. Greetings from Denmark

  • @seanmmcclain
    @seanmmcclain 4 місяці тому +2

    I noticed that you used a cotter ring in the clevis pin that holds your forestay to your mast head. I would caution you to consider replacing it with a cotter pin instead of a ring. I had a ring work its way loose once while underway (from a cap shroud chainplate). After that happened I stopped using rings in places where I thought they could cause a catastrophy.

    • @peter_peter_pumpkin_eater
      @peter_peter_pumpkin_eater 4 місяці тому +3

      Yep, replace that ring with a 'split pin' and washer ideally.

    • @davidgoodman3399
      @davidgoodman3399 4 місяці тому

      A loose halyard can pull that split ring off the mast head and you won't notice until the mast drops.

  • @brendanh8978
    @brendanh8978 4 місяці тому

    I assume this means you can reduce headsail area from the cockpit now without having to switch out storm jibs and such? That seems like a huge added safety margin when you are caught out in rough seas. I would think it makes trimming the boat for specific conditions much easier, too.
    Also, what happened to Puss!? I don't think I missed any episodes, but I guess I didn't catch her departure.

  • @gneisenau89
    @gneisenau89 4 місяці тому

    Awesome! One question I might ask, and I hope I don't appear to be a Jonah here, is whether the greater tension on the forestay might raise a concern about the forestay stem fitting. I was surprised to see that is a pad eye, and not a chainplate. In our family we had an old Paceship boat built in Nova Scotia that had such a fitting, and it ripped out through the deck and we lost the mast. If that area of the deck was engineered with a certain amount of forestay tension in mind, does putting on significantly more tension lessen that margin of safety?

No big deal, it just would have been cool hearing it from you guys! Doesnt have to be long or in-depth just like "Sailing ships have various "stays" and this is my "forestay". It supports the mast." Cool yo!

    I don't understand why the friction point on the top of your new roller furling is it supposed to be on the cable rather than on the steel fitting clamping the cable. Just seems to me like you've put the friction on the weaker link . . . ?
