Lyttleton: Major Port or Cruising Destination?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2024
- I had sailed "back" from chatham island to New Zealand, but had arrived in a place I had never sailed to before. Port Lyttleton. In this video I just explore a bit and check out some of the charms Lyttleton has to offer!

definitely make more videos man! You are the most out there doing it dude about! So many videos are so full of it you know. Yours are the most real about.....and you're really doing some impressive things mate....
Thanks! Its really hard to know what people are getting from my videos from just a view or subcriber count so its great to know that people are hearing what i am trying to say. So i really appreciate your comment
Really good videos, easily the best sailing youtube channel in NZ
Thanks carlos!
I think you should start selling T-shirts to help fund yourself and get some proper sails . Love your channel and would like to see you sail to Fiji or Tonga and beyond !
I would totaly buy one!
Awesome, keep them coming!
Nice to catch a glimpse of Christchurch. I haven't been there for over 20 years.
And of course seeing you fixing your sails, and of course putting in some great sailing on your luverly little Proa.
🤭 I know what you mean about the foil noise. I can hear them like that in Tawais cabin, just from the little ones on their stoopid expensive foil boards, whether electric or inflatable wing driven.
Must be tip vortexes methinks.
Good luck for the Cook strait crossing, I'm sure you'll keep well clear of that filthy great big 100m cliff on the top of the sea that forms as the fully flowing tides drop off 2km into the cook strait canyon. ❤👍🌊🐉
Loving the videos. Discovered your channel a few weeks ago and watched the entire series of you fixing the warram, then went down a rabbit hole learning about Proas.
If you ever sail to Sydney you have a friend near the water.
Thanks phill! Thats awesome made my day to hear you went back and watched the whole restoration series! Not currentlymplanning to go to sydney but i cant rule it out!
Very cool! The little proa looks great. Out there in nature after doing the work to put yourself there.. good stuff.
Thanks Zacharia!
Always a pleasure watching your adventures
Thanks Jamie!
Great video, your tarp repair looks sturdy. Someone would spend thousands on a new sail for something they'd barely understand. You become wiser the more you modify and repair your fleet it and making it usable 😁 Love to see it! Keep it up!
Yeah thats whay i figure! Sail repair is an essential skill and an old sail is a good opportunity to learn it! Luckily i have a smaller head sail thats in much better condition, probably because previous owners did not use it often
yes, please make more videos. this one was awesome. it did almost feel like a little movie, not even just documentary anymore or just life log.
Ha you know just what to say! Thanks!
@@dominictarrsailing i watched some episodes now. what is the series called?
Sailorpunk? 🙂
@@testestestesify ha! Thats not too bad a name
Great to watch. Thank you.
Thanks bobby computers
Kia Ora mate, thanks for the video of my home port, iv only recently found your channel after seeing you sail past while I was out to watch the gp, a few of us from the Lyttleton sailing community got chatting about your boat with outrigger in tow, and I got pointed to your channel, brilliant content and style.
Regarding crossing the bar into monks bay it’s definitely worth it, I’ve had my yacht in there on mooring and found the yacht club very hospitable and the Redcliffs sumner community is great.
Chur mate
Thanks! Ill have to go next time. Looks like a good spot for dinghy sailing and also close to hardware stores!
Great to see the little proa being used for his intended workaday purpose. I'd call the project a success.
definitely! it's been a huge success, easily the best boat that I have designed and built, and I think it still has quite a lot to teach me also!
So glad your channel is taking off, Great adventures dude!
Thank you!
Great to see the Ōtautahi region from a water perspective! Fair winds on your next trips
Thanks! More stuff coming soon!
Enjoyed the video. Especially as we were moored next to you one night and had a bit of a chat boat to boat. Cheers, Craig
Thanks i remember you!
I was there 30 years ago, South Island fortunately does not change much, I had relatives living in Christchurch and Lyttleton. Hope the sail hangs together!
Ha oh there was actually a large earthquake in christchurch 15 years ago, so there have been some changes!
bloody brilliant.
Nice to see you back :)
It my old home town Christchurch. My parents met on a ship on the way to work in NZ. In those days there was free passage for tradesmen and women who had qualifications in nursing and other needed trades. It looks no different than I remember 30 years back. Lyttleton is an awesome place to dock but in winter you want to go north.
Heh yeah it was already feeling like the northern winter, but sunny quite often so not too bad. In nelson currently, gonna head north from here soon
@@dominictarrsailing Nelson is special, brings back memories of summer holidays, remember Picton like that also, it’s the place where time stands still. Those shops seem to never change even the stuff they sell, it’s the same as in those days.
Another excellent video. Loved the footage of the little proa; she really gets going. A bit of wool on the camera mic should help with the wind noise. This is becoming my favorite "real" sailing channel.
Thank you! I did install some fluff recently (and nobody commented about wind noise on the previous video!) getting it to stay put is the next challenge. (So far superglue works for a while)
Hi from Tasmania, love your show
Thanks adrian!
great! thanks for sharing
Please definitely keep reporting on your adventures. I miss your posts on SSB and I enjoy your sailing adventures. Also next time your are in Switzerland, let me know. I now have a dry place close to the Biel lake, so it won't take 4.5h of assembly to get sailing!
Ah wonderful! I will absolutely let you know if i am coming to switzerland for some reason!
Thanks for sharing, my liveaboard father hates the chariots as they are not "real boats". 😂
Interesting the noise from the foils.
Your videos are fab, thanks for sharing them when you can. These calmer less life threatening ones are welcomed.
Ha thaks for saying that! While i was making it is seemed almost too booring. Glad to know you enjoyed it.
They are not really boats, not once they are flying. I call them foilcraft. A category that includes both airplanes and sailboats!
Great content Dominic. That Proa is the business.
Thanks Eric!
Great video Dominic!! Keep up the good work 😊 Dan
Thanks dan!
you doing an amazing job. keep it up
thanks ross!
respect envy and admiration for your adventures.
Thanks david!
Awesome little cruise in Lyttelton Dominic! That sail repair is actually a very smart idea because you are using poly tarp which is softer than Dacron so you don't get the hinge point that you would get from using a stiff new Dacron. Often the sail repair just rips around the edge of the new and old cloth when using a stiff new dacron for the repair.
Oh that is very interesting! What if you repaired the sail with old dacron? I did a repair like this (though a bit smaller) on the working jib of my raven 26, and its still going. (Repair was done enroute auckland to wellington, a little past east cape! So it has seen some miles, although that wasnt a wind caused tear it was a snag caused tear)
Using old cloth, or a soft cloth is a good idea
With old sails, it is normally the leach that goes first.
So a good idea to reinforce the whole leach. I bought a 10cm strip of repair cloth, it was actually to make new batten pockets, but was really too stiff for that, but ideal for the leach, especially as it was becoming hooked.
My working jib is a tall narrow Solent style, it came with two battens, now has four. It is getting on its last legs, so my dreadful sewing didn’t worry me.
I do have a very heavy duty old domestic machine. But it has two issues, the motor is not powerful enough. And I cannot get the bobbin tension correct with the thick thread.
Using old Dacron is a good idea I have done repairs to a sail that I had cut down so I had spare cloth from cutting it down. It's a good idea to stagger the layers too if the patch goes on both sides and some people even cut waves into the edge too so it doesn't just rip straight along the edge.
@@dr10501 interesting! These are great tips thank you!
Great episode Dominic! Saw you parked up on the Maitai the other day. Hope you had a pleasant stay.
Gotta say - that bamboo camera pole is pretty sweet!
You should have come said hi! Still there now but might have to move off the next tide, they are getting lower
@@dominictarrsailing Maitai river in Nelson? Couldn't see you there.
@@shoutatthesky at haulashore island now

Planning to be in nelson until friday
Love them bro!
Love the proa!
Wow that carbon fiber sail insert looks fantastic
Doesnt it! lt actually cost me $5000, expensive but worth it to make my boat looks like its going faster
Bro I seen you resting at the back end of the harbour. I’m a carver and work at the Whakaraupō Carving Centre. Next time you’re in town call in bro. Thanks for sharing your g
Journey. I’m a friend of Scott Watson who has always rated warrams
Wow awesome! Ill definitely come by next time i am in town! In nelson currently
Another great video. I think we probably all wait quite anxiously for your videos to come out. I have just bought my first Keeler and I'm greatly inspired and motivated by you and your videos.
Wonderful! What design is it?
@@dominictarrsailing Compass 790.
@@1968lr that looks like a good one! I have just read that one of those sailed itself to australia after being abandoned off kaipara, clearly seaworthy!!! Especially since it survived an entire year drifting across the tasman with the hatch open. There must have been many storms!!!
@@dominictarrsailing I hope you’re right! I intend on pretty much doing what you are currently.
@@1968lr my most important rule is that the next trip shouldnt be more than double the previous one. So after a trip from coromandel to mangonui (about 48 hours) then i did great barrier, down and around white island, then up to bay of islands. That was 4 days, but i was only a days sail away from a safe anchorage that whole trip. Then i was ready to sail to wellington. This was in my previous boat, a raven 26. Also, winter sailing up north is good practice for summer sailing at 40S.
Nice video. Go well 👍👍😀😀
Thanks Alfred!
Thank you Dominic.
the proa looks mean as now
Thanks rich!
I use to sail in the estuary and one of our favourite races was out to the bar and back a couple of times
In a dinghy? What design did you sail?
@@dominictarrsailing I sailed both junior cherub and a small 13 ft catamaran. They belonged to my highschool. Also my own A class cat later when I bought that myself. Sailed from the Christchurch Yacht club. This would be back in early 70s.
Good stuff 👍
Thanks!
👍!!!
Great job with the sail, you obviously have experience with patchwork.
Thanks, yes getting a bit more experienced at this sort of repair now.
I’m here for the proa sailing 😆 but awesome watching you do some epic ocean sailing. I’m also looking out for you if you make it back to Northland (I think I saw you sailing into opua a year or two ago?) because I’m mad keen to come for a spin on the proa. I’ll take you out fishing 😁
Yes i was in opua in feburary and also december 2022. In nelson right now but will be up that way again fairly soon, thats the plan anyway. You are certainly welcome to come for a proa sail!
More Please !
& Thanks !
Are you Tempted by the coming SW winds ?
Have you read Capt Voss on the "Tilicum" [sp could be off ! ]
He put on Sumner Bar crossing "Public Specticles" ! about 1905 .
No but i have heard other classic sailing books (such as the pardies) mention captain voss! Ill see if i can find a copy
Will be coming back up north soon. Gonna visit my relatives in golden bay and then head up next opportunity
@@dominictarrsailing I'll let my mate Rob Metz know you're coming. He's bought a block for a permaculture community on the hill up behind Takaka.
Prolly be able to supply you with lots of dried fruits and pickled vege, biltong etc fer yer continued Voyage.
You gonna take the Tasman shortcut North from there I assume, rather than the long haul around east cape?
@@dominictarrsailing have you done any experiments with sea anchors like Capt Voss? I read that he came over many of the NZ Bars by using a sea anchor and I was always wondering if that is still a viable method.
much respect man❤
More please more
🏴☠️Aye Aye
Thanks for your videos. I absolutely love your no frills ingenuity...in true Wharram fashion. Im currently finishing up my Tiki 21 build and am starting to post some videos on youtube if youd like to follow back. Youve inspired me to keep pushing and finish this project and maybe build a proa next. Keep it up!
Done! I have been daydreaming about a smaller outrigger. Mainly for paddling... about 3.4m long, which would mean i could put it inside the other cabin. That would also fit across the deck of a tiki 21. I keep my proa on deck packed down under the tillers, when im sailing a long way
@@dominictarrsailing Thanks Dominic. Yeah that sounds pretty perfect. That's what I was thinking, something I could throw on the tiki as sort of a tender, or for day sailing/paddling. I better finish one boat before starting another though.
@@svprimitiva yup good plan!
You are one of the saltiest sailors I have ever seen. Hope to watch your new videos.
thanks Hal!
Make more videos!!!
"majestical"
You know it!
Makes videos please 🙏
Good sailing, your ama spends more time in the air then on the water.... Do you really need it? ha ha ha.... Oh, Keep Shunting, By the way... Balkan Shipards
Hahaha i think i will keep it for now, just incase!
Hi from the US Atlantic coast! Your proa is awesome, I would so love to try sailing one. That’s what made me start watching, but I love your catamaran, too and just your style of minimal fossil fuel cruising. I’m most drawn to sail power only with paddle or oar auxiliary. Love how you always get up on a hill to get perspective.
@@Moleasses102 there is a proa sailnng and construction facebook group. You might be able to find someone nearish you who can take you sailing? From the top of the hill you can see how the land effects the wind and the waves - something no map shows!
Simple, not perfect, using what you have, decent sail repair.
Nice one bud!
