An engineless circumnavigation around the Cape of Good Hope. You have a new subscriber!
Cheers from 🇨🇦 🍻
Ha ha, and there I was thinking Ruth Avery was a 1940s boat that had been extensively refurbished, not a 1991 boat! Every part of her is totally beautiful, from her gorgeous bowsprit to her cute little tail end.
Thanks for this (once again.) all your videos remain a great resource for us solo sailors.
I'm afraid to go out to 3 Mile Line and sail down the coast with my diesel engine and Navionics, meanwhile this dude sailed around the damn world with kerosene lights and no batteries or engine!!! Impressive!!! I wish I had your knowledge. The lack of confidence how to makes me feel like a piece of crap. Keep it up and keep it going love the videos
Where there's a will ...
That's right!
Hi Kevin. I have C.E. Ryder Southern Cross hull #124. Factory finished and launched in 1981, I believe. I'm the third owner. Narwhal sails out of NC. Following your TransAtlantic footsteps in 2022. Thanks for all your technical advice and seamanship examples.
Just amazing!!! Absolutely a wonderful video!
You just added a ton of context and character to your channel. Great mix of you and your boat’s history... and how you got to where you are in your life and your equipment. Two thumbs up
Sean McSweeney you’re so right. Kevin sure made a massive footprint here!
Thanks for the tour and sharing your life with us.
Thanks for the tour of Ruth Avery, and all your knowledge.⛵️
Great boat, great videos Kevin! Thank you.
Grea video amazing sailing and again a gorgeous boat.
Great stuff, thank you for sharing. Love the Gillmer/Ryder boats, they’ve always caught my eye.
What great adventures! Very jealous. Thanks for sharing
Appreciated the update on stays and rigging, some very practical touches. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing Kevin. Looking forward to part 2 👍
Great on deck tour and history. Thanks! Now on to Part 2....
Thanks Kevin, your boat looks better with every video! I especially liked the pin rail setup, simplicity at its best.
Take care
Beatiful and REAL classic sailing boat!!!
*takes notes* a modified brummel splice, and a techno tower. There are so many sailing terms it is crazy. I guess I just need to get a boat already. I like the bell!
Really appreciate your videos, detail and sharing of experience. I don’t think many value that these days but it’s not lost with this family. Keep up the great content!
Kevin, You make my hero, Vito Dumas proud!, you have more salt in your veins than average folk, Thanks for the interesting story ,of you and Ruth Avery !,
Very cool to see your boat in more detail. Looking forward to the next one. She's about the same size as mine by the looks of it. If you're ever in Cape Town again, give us a shout. Dinner and beer on me!
SERIOSLY IMPRESSED !!! Had no idea you had gone around in that boat. And very simply equipped at that! Excellent! Great boat tour also. That boat has some great features not mentioned, but seen. Thanks
Thanks for stopping by..
Stephen Eickhorn Steve is an "Oar Club brother " jus fer th record, eh?
Donald Bland yes but I’ve never been able to navigate the website. On Facebook though.
Great video Kevin. The music at the beginning is really good!
This is one of the best sailing and seamanship channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
What a fantastic boat.
Thanks Kev, that was very interesting!
Awesome story ..
Great job , I follow your Channel and love your videos.
Thanks for a great video!
Finally something worth watching. Amen.
Thank you. Great story.
Aye, heaps of interesting stuff there. I reckon you probably can tell a story or two about every detail by now. Thnx m8 and keep it coming!
Thanks man!
Thanks so much for your knowledge.
Your boat is beautiful
Use a turn buckle for the bobstay ....... awesome story, very inspiring
Very nice video
Hey Kevin, your math is correct on the AGMs versus the lithium except for the fact you can completely discharge the lithium and your AGM only down to 50% so you would have to divide your final number by two but still you have an advantage, except for the fact the battle born on your screen there shows it has a 10 year warranty and after 10 years they are guaranteed for 80% love your vids!
nice boat
A picture of the R. Tucker Thompson (3'46") probably of in the bay of islands !
This boat was built by one of my step-father's friend at the time (2002) she was probably still owned by his son.
With my step-father, we also sailed around the world on a wooden boat, engine and GPS less, on kerosene lamps and stove (what a smell to get it started), it was a great adventure as a kid.
I love your videos (going thru all of them), remind me all this good time. Thank you !
Ahoy David, yes, that picture of R. Tuck was taken in Opua, if I recall (it was 17 years ago). She's a beauty.
And she's still a beauty, I've seen her a week ago when I visit my family. She now takes young people abord for day trips or passage :)
C E Ryder made some beautiful boats back then. You got a good one.
Can you imagine that, putting Ruth on a trailer and towing her from Texas to California in order to access the Pacific is a better notion than using the Panama Canal? The canal people must have really set their prices high. Ah well, good luck to them.
I'll keep an eye out for your boat next time i'm coming into Baltimore on a roro.
love that boat
Great vids. I have an engineless 34' gaff rigged tom colvin saugeen witch I am refitting. I have cruised engineless before, but not on a gaffer. I humbly beg you to do a vid on how you handle your topsail while singlehanding engineless. Really appreciate you taking the time time to do your channel. Not a lot of info out there on this stuff. If a pic is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million, when showing how to do a technical task.
I don't bother with the topsail anymore--it's just too much friggin' in the riggin' . But I would set the windvane, raise it on lee side of the main, then take up on the downhaul--assuming it was not already tangled--then sheet it. It can really give you some power.
Hey, knowing that you don't bother messing with it anymore is valuable info for me too. Keep the scummy side down, see you out there.
Oh, your boat is actually bigger than I thought =)
Bravo to you, bravo, bravo.
You sailed all that way by yourself?? I am thoroughly impressed. Is there a video of your history/training in sailing?
I stumbled across your channel and it's really helpful (navigation software, building your own sculling oar) Did you ever consider a Highfield lever for the running backstay?
Very interested in the video of your boat,after some research the Southern Crosses were on a short list of boats that seemed to fit what I was looking for(blue water capable,30-33ft,etc). One thing I was especially drawn to was the glass hatches over the cabin,are they as practical(light/ventilation) as I believe or is the hazard make them impractical (do you carry storm boards?). What is your headroom? Any warnings to look out for looking at used boats? Thanks for sharing your beautiful boat with us.
Outstanding video, although not being a sailor a lot of the names were a little confusing to me , but total impressed with you knowledge. Would love to see a map of your travels , and hear a little of you background before you bought Ruth Avery. Was that your first boat ?, come from a sailing family ? Etc. Stay safe my friend and Fairwinds to you .
Yes, I came from a sailing family. My previous boat was a Herresoff Rozinante, which I absolutely loved but not suitable for ocean cruising.
4:25, it looks like that tree is on fire. But I believe it is just the bright outer rings of Acacia trees broken over.
Funny - just last night I looked through your older videos to figure out what boat you had (comments in "You Don't Need an Engine to go World Cruising _Part One") - oh well
A lot of you asked the same question, hence the video ..
I love the history you share. My first sailboat love was and is Colin archer pilot boats. Your boat is very reminiscent of them. Some influence I’m sure. You seem a talented carpenter. Where you a carpenter tee before you became a sailor or do you still do carpentry between sailing trips?
Hi John, yes, the Gilmer 31 is essentially a modified Colin Archer design made out of fiberglass. I was never a carpenter, although I've always loved wood working from the when I was a little kid and built small sailboats that I sailed on a pond (also built model rockets, airplanes, etc ..).
Easily the best sailing channel on youtube. I look to you for information and inspiration for my own circumnavigation starting in a few months. Any words of advice you would give to a twenty year old planning to sail oceans?
Just go my friend! I had my first boat at 23 it was a 21ft far from perfect but Ive sailed thousands of miles with it. Now Im 28 and my second boat is a Nicholson 32 full keel thick hull. She behaves like a dream in any kind of weather.
I m also having a blast in a 12ft dinghy that I built.
The best advice i can give you is to do what you dream of. Its not about the boat nor the money. You can only regret what you haven't done.
I would say the same.
Cooper VonAchen. Good luck, what great adventures you have ahead!
@@philsmith7398 thanks, just started my own channel. Go give it a look
In the famous words of Lin and Larry Pardey - go small, go now
👍👍
Bit surprised at the lwl is that because of the sprit
Beautiful sail vessel. Very catchy couleur scheme (Classy). I have one question: How do you go about storing your rode line when you have weighed anchor? Do you store the chain apart from the rope? Thank you for your time
I store both the rope and chain in the locker forward, fed in through a hawsepipe.
@@howtosailoceans1423 ok . Thanks for your answer. Have a great day and thank for taking time to make such good content 🙏
Hey the old fashioned Boom Gallow..Set up broz where did you get that set up..I need.that for my Ketch 30' I'm working on the arch support made out of wall nut..But can't seem to find that particular set up..I really like the one you got ..Sure I can make a different one .
That came with the boat. A custom casting I'm sure, but that was the previous owner's design.
Wow what a voyage! I've seen your celestial navigation vids, did you navigate that way on your trip?
About half it I did, using the Celesticomp for the tabulations. Ughh! It was a hard way to live, but a good way to
grow.
May I ask what your sail inventory is ? I enjoy your channel very much.
Thanks, most of the time I sail her with just main and staysail. I have a small yankee which greatly helps close-hauled with winds less than 15 knots, and a large yankee which is good off the wind with the staysail dropped on deck. I do have a topsail but no longer have it rigged--too much hassle. I also have a storm jib for the rough stuff.
Could you explain why some boats have the frame above the cockpit presumably for resting the boom on when you go bare poles?
I think it's better that way, but more difficult to mount on a double-ender.
That's a fascinating sailing history Kevin. Bravo. Really. I have been contemplating the need to replace my standing rigging (wire) --- as it is now 10 years old (though I see no signs of degradation). You are obviously comfortable with standing rigging 15-20 years old. Do you have any special inspection technique that you use to ensure its integrity?
My very unscientific observation is that cohorts of practitioners fall into two broad categories: checklist/process/schedule and habit/behavior/fixit.
I was a manufacturing engineer early in my career so I’m all about startup lists, maintenance schedules, and replacement cycles. It made learning to fly (I was a terrible pilot) easy and enjoyable. Ditto scuba. And it made me miserable onto quitting when I was learning to skydive.
Most of the sailors I know just follow the break/fix cycle. Except for their engines which is probably because they are scary and mysterious. 🤑
That would drive me nuts.
Having said that - in my old house, after 15+ years of ownership I had a number of systems I was watching (and waiting) for failure. But little danger of falling or sinking....
Wish I did, Patrick, only other than wire rope will usually start sprouting broken strands when it's about to go. I have to take the mast down when I haul this year, so everything will get a close inspection. So I just inspect visually.
Dyneema rigging?
ua-cam.com/video/tRe6q7jjbsY/v-deo.html
One reason I like traditional boats, is that galvanized rigging looks great on them. It rusts from the outside in, instead of inside out like stainless, with much more warning than stainless I just bought enough 5/16" to completely re-rig my 34' gaffer, with plenty left over for spares, for $150. With my boat it's all eye splices or seazing, so that is the total cost to rerig my boat. I've worked in the shipyards for years, and even wealthy people put off needed rerig because of cost in stainless. But $150? Shoot, I could do that every year! Goop it up with grease 2x a year, and it will last 40+ years instead of 10, so I won't need to. Good luck with your project.
Ben Gordon yeah, I’ve watched his rigging videos and am starting to practice some of those skills. I am not, let us say, a natural at knots.
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Some cheap advice for you Kevin - there is no reason to use lashings on Dux. Not sure why this is perpetuated. Just use a suitably rated galv turnbuckle, as would be used on a crane or load. Works great on my Colvin Gazelle with all Dux rigging.
Unfortunately my bobstay is too long for a turnbuckle. Yeah, I was just following all the conventional wisdom, being new to dux.
What do you mean its too long?? Why not just shorten it by resplicing the eye? About a 10 minute job sitting in your dinghy.
Ive got lord nelsons redstart an old black one chambers just gone ill see if gilmer 31 is on saildata shes certainly looked after you bravo🐳🐳🐳
Did the mast have to be moved from plans location to go to gaff rig?
I believe it is stepped further forward than the factory SC31 (previous owner gave her the gaff rig), chain plates are the same though.
Curious why you chose to transport boat from Texas to California over land rather than sail her through the Panama Canal?
It was about the same cost either way. Except sailing from the Canal means many miles of sailing a notoriously calm area of ocean, whereas taking off from CA generally gets you into the NE trades fairly quickly.
What did it cost you to ship it from Texas 2 Newport do you remember?
$4K. I also rode in the cab, which saved on my own travel expenses.
@@howtosailoceans1423 I know it's too late but you probably could have sell it for $2,000 over there and have the experience to show for it but anyway now I'm highly impressed with your boat and your experience so keep up the good work.
Tell us how you make money now!
All in time, all in time ...
Photos? Quit watching at 3:46.
Your loss buddy
