    Congratulations on the fish Josh. For Pheobes sake, maybe something other than a glass bottle for dispatching them. It really is always something on a boat. Josh looked pretty despondent at the end of this video. Your teammate is there for you Josh. Very supportive. PS: I'm catching up.

    Glad you found the source of the leak 👍
    When I was young my dad's boat would have an intermittent leak which took ages for him to find, eventually we found it was a through hole above the water line, would only leak when healed over more than 20° on port tack, but as we were usually on deck in that situation It took quite a while to figure it out. Glad you didn't have a tricky one like that.

    @21:03; Hey guys! Loving your channel, have subscribed and rung the bell! Just a small suggestion. With a non-furling headsail, when sailing onto your anchor, leave your mainsail up and drop your headsail well before your arrival and tidy that away, so that it doesn't get in the way of your anchor chain. The benefit of this is twofold; firstly, the mainsail is self tacking, so you never need to worry about tacking when your choosing your anchor location and secondly, if you wish to, you can set up a preventer from the boom, forward to one of your bow (Or even mishap!) cleats and haul on it to back-wind the main, so as to help you back down on your anchor chain, to help set your anchor as well as possible. Hope this helps. Keep up the awesome work!
    Cheers, Mick (Sydney)

      Hey Mick cheers for the love and awesome tips! I had never figured setting the anchor using preventer and back winding the main and I always wondered, that’s awesome mate. Our sailing has come along way from when we started to hear in these videos and even now. Love learning so thanks for the tips

    How funny. I just took a break while reading Ken Follett's newest novel "The Armour of Light" to watch your video and thought it funny to see a Ken Follett novel on your boat. That's a great read as are all of his novels. Enjoy your videos, you guys are great. Regards from Washington State, USA.

    I was once told that one should leave engine in forward when sailing with it off. Yes it increases drag with a non folding prop but it also reduces wear on the bearings, stuffing box, etc.

    • @Thenewkidsonthedock
      @Thenewkidsonthedock  Рік тому

      When asked I will now tell people, “oh I always have it forward in gear because it reduces wear on the bearings and stuffing box. Yeah I learnt that from Charles”. Cheers for the tip mate!

    Hi guys. Simple and cheap trick to douse the headsail from the cockpit. Attach a thin line to the shackle and the end from your jib-halliard feed this line between the hanks and the forestay. Then through a small block on your bow and back to the cockpit. Possibily some blocks on the stantions. Give enough length when the jib is hoisted and secure somewhere where it can be reached from the cockpit. As a singlehander this works for me. Unlocked the halliard and pull the thin line. Easy. One other benefit is that you avoid your halliard flying to the top of the mast.

    For safety’s sake, always imagine that your transducer is at the waterline. This will keep you from running aground. If your depth reading is 1.5 m and your rated draft is 1.5 m imagine that as running aground.
    The reasoning behind this is that shoaling and coral growth can jump up at you, and having a half-meter of insurance is worth it’s depth in 25 year old whisky.

    • @Thenewkidsonthedock
      @Thenewkidsonthedock  Рік тому

      Good point! Our transducer is 600mm below the waterline but we run an offset in our chart plotter. So what we see is true depth which helps heaps when you’re watching the numbers go down!
