I love the way you narrate your videos. You will say "plates were fastened" instead of "I fastened the plates". It is almost like you humble yourself as you talk about all of the fantastic things you do. As a faithful watcher of your channel, I'm a woman who loves a man who can be humble all while showing how badass he actually is! I love your channel! Excellent skill and engineering. I can't wait for the day that you can do this full time and we can just watch all of your adventures and wish we were there! Great job on this sail & the additions!
Fantastic video - one of those rare videos where you feel happy for both the content provider, equipment sponsors and viewers - it's a win win. Good luck to all of you.
Terrific additions to the boat Eric. The best thing (by far) I ever did to my boat was to add the inner forestay. This has removed 90% of the stress / fatigue of sailing in challenging wind conditions for me, and I'm 100% confident you will love it. I have the same Selden bow sprit too. The gennaker takes a bit of getting used to because things can get out of control quickly if one is not careful, but I'm sure you will quickly grow to love it as much as I do too. Hope Covid will allow you to have a great adventure this Summer!
Agreed, you only know what you missed once you have an inner fore stay. I have a removable one. From a tad anxious sailing to being complete at comfort at higher wind forces.
Fantastic Erik! What a way you've come in a few short years with this channel, you must be very proud and so you should ! I've said it before but you have one of the best sailing channels on UA-cam..... no Bull Shit!
@@sailingmoonshadow3169 I like to spread the "love" around sailor. Erik has cornered the 'holy shit' sailing market that's for sure! Of course, Patrick, Mads, Alfy, Barry, Troy & Pascale, Kevin and others all bring something special to our eyes and imagination. We sailing types are very blessed ......
It's impossible not to love Erik. He's such a humble, personable guy. The health difficulties he's had to overcome, in order to pursue his passion, make his already stunning videos that much more remarkable. He's truly an inspiration. Happy sailing, Erik!
The biggest badass among sailors IS BACK!!! Daaaaamn,my man! You catch me little off guard with this video,but when i saw notification from you,i leaved everything and started to watch! Greetings from Adriatic sea from Croatia! Beautiful NBJS sail!
Erik I am 64 years old and before I pass on to the big sleep I would like to visit Norway and cruise up north along the coast and crevices of Norway. You live in the most beautiful country I have ever seen thru your eyes and now thru other You Tube videos. The harsh winters make the summer more precious each year as spring arrives. Truly an awsone geography.if I had a Surius 40ds I would sail to norway and see all the places you have shown me with my own eyes. You have been blessed to live there only 5 miilion people and I wish I was one of them. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
THANK YOU Rolly Tasker , you could not have picked a better ambassador for your brand. Above the respect for sailing single handed in weather like that is that you ACTUALL FLEW YOUR DRONE in that kind of wind and all by yourself . AMAZING CHEERS AND FAIR WINDS Steve h.
Congratulations! It must be so rewarding when they contacted you. It is a confirmation of the unique quality of your videos and a recognition of your channel in the international sailing community.
Erik, congratulations! The level of knowledge you pass on with your videos is ridiculously huge. Because of your attention to detail, it provides an invaluable stream of knowledge for everyone watching. I got my first coastal sailing license two years ago and I'm trying to learn more and more every day and continue improving. Your videos really do help a lot, can't thank you enough. We can really live your experiences by watching you and learn from it. All my respect and fair winds! Keep it up!
With so many people to thank all in one video, the best I can say is thumbs up to each of you for caring and sharing in so many ways. Well done everyone, you sure got my attention moving forward ...! ( Rolly Tasker )
Great video Erik! Thanks. I would be carefull with those big Carabine hooks. They will slam viciously when you are working on the cutter Jib on the foredeck in high winds and seas...
Thanks for mentioning that, I understand the ease at the tack, but at the clew why not two bowlines like every other jib? Love the way you have it anchored to save any strain on the foredeck. Are you worried the chain will tangle in the locker with that support rigged? Oh and btw about that gennaker... Goddamn that’s a beauty sail!!
Boat DIY: next level Sailing: next level Cinematic footage: next level Captain’s enthusiasm: next level infectious 👍 Cannot wait to see your new adventures Eric!
The new sails are a treat...love your solution for the inner stay and that the sail can be reefed. The light head sail is fantastic, the set up is great and the boat looks fantastic under sail. Well done!
Absolutely the best sailing videos on UA-cam. I know exactly what its like to change jobs in the maritime industry. I served 20 years in the US Navy Submarines retiring a very senior enlisted man. My first job after the Navy was a deck hand on a ocean tugboat with a barge. It was hard to start all over from the bottom. I am very impressed that you showed us the real life challenge of a career in the industry. You are one of a rare few of us that understands that a captains are not made in the wheelhouse. Great Job Erik!!
Hi Eric . Great to see you again. Thank you to give me the vocation of sailing !!!! I am starting sailing lessons. I am selling a small apartment to get a sailboat. I hope next summer to be able to cross an expedition. Thank you Eric. Sometimes internet can be good.
Absolutely fantastic! Your new gennaker is beautiful!! It suits you perfectly. Nice job Rolly Tasker Sails! Very classy! We really enjoyed this video Erik. Congratulations! You deserve it. 💕
Awsome , you know you made it as a youtuber when major sail makers reach you to let you use their product ... the sails are indeed gorgeous ...and the Design chosen with the NBJS was indeed fantastic :) ! Congratulations.
Another great video! Thanks to Rolly Tasker, Gran Seil and Seldon for making your upgrades on Tessie and future adventures, even closer to reality Erik! Happy sailing and safe travels!! 😎👍
Erik, it is so cool to see you again. I am so happy for you that you have now a very good set of sails for your next adventures. Especially a heavy weather jib sail because you missed it.You deserve it so much. Congrats for the very smarts improvements you made on your nice boat. Enjoy your new toys buddy !!
The last few minutes of this are the only languid, relaxed sailing I've seen on your channel. Hope you have plenty of opportunity for the gennaker in the future.
Erik, Missed you man. Incredible how the boat looks with the new sails, specially with the new gennaker. Your smile says it all about how it feels to sail it. Cannot wait to see more videos. Congrats.
Your a great sailor and making the changes you did now a cutter sailor you'll enjoy down wind, beam reaching with a little more stability. Damn, your the man, there is no doubt.
Great Video! Nicely looking new sails. One thing that I was wondering, I would replace that massive carabiner at the sheets of the storm jib by a soft schackle. This thing can knock you out..
Amazing video !!!!! That Black Sail looks beautiful and made Tessie sails perfectly downwind !!!!! Great video !!! Loved those Metal work , welding and installation partas ! Great Job Erik ! You deserve some beers ! Cheers !!!!!
Another great video Erik ! Interesting to see new generation downwind sails perfectly matched to the 70’s classic plastic yachts like ours. I look forward to seeing how this setup stands up to your NBJS style!
Thanks for sharing. Wonderful job. Especially interesting for me, as I just picked up my own brand new gennaker from the sailmaker couple of weeks ago. I'm so glad about the generous sponsoring you received by Rolly Tasker, Seldén and Gran sail. Congratulations!
Erik, what a fantastic boat you have! No frontiers in your future adventures All the best and keep sharing your next goals! Regards from Muros. Fair winds !!!!
No Bullshit just sailing! That's why I love your channel! and from a guy who has worked in television production for 40 years - you are amazing at all aspects of the craft! Respect Erik!
Well done and thankyou Rolly Tasker and Selden!! I'm sure that this was a hell of a lot of work Skipper Eric, but you made light of it and still made an entertaining video to boot. That gennaker, wow. Love the heavy weather sailing with the jib on the cutterstay, I could almost feel the cold salt spray trickling down my neck, brrrrrr, magic!!
Fantastic video Erik! Great to see you install all these upgrade on your own, bringing us along for the ride. The Gennaker is a fantastic sail, looks amazing, new life for your Contessa!
This is the only channel I have supported by buying merchandise, love my NBJS hoodie. Nice addition of the stay sail and gennaker...if only I had a successful UA-cam channel.
The NBJS logo is majestic on that gennaker.
I love the way you narrate your videos. You will say "plates were fastened" instead of "I fastened the plates".

"Good breeze. 25 knots.". This is why I love this channel.
So true.
'A light wind. Hurricane force 10'
Fantastic video - one of those rare videos where you feel happy for both the content provider, equipment sponsors and viewers - it's a win win. Good luck to all of you.

Looking forward to some new adventures from you too Patrick, hope you have some exciting plans
We missed you Mr.Laine.
Two great channels Patrick. Yours and Erics. Sean
Agreed, you only know what you missed once you have an inner fore stay. I have a removable one. From a tad anxious sailing to being complete at comfort at higher wind forces.
This makes me think! 😉
Thanks, Rolly Tasker, for supporting our favorite sailing channel!
Nobody makes me want to buy a sailboat more than you and your videos.
Great video, incredible footage!!
We had a 135% genoa on adrenaline and really wish we had a smaller jib for work to windward in windier conditions.
@@erikaanderaa podrías poner los subtítulos en español me encantaría poder entender el vídeo 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Simply awesome
No bullshit but doing a Genoa peeling or so is so taugh 🤣🤣🤣
Looking good Eric
As a deck officer crossing the ocean over and over again, I can say that you're more of a sailor than me. Salute brother.
Fantastic Erik! What a way you've come in a few short years with this channel, you must be very proud and so you should ! I've said it before but you have one of the best sailing channels on UA-cam..... no Bull Shit!
"one of the best"??? surely THE best! Only because it's Just Sailing and No Bullshit ;-)

Dam right there Jack....im hanging for Eriks next one👍
Erik’s smile and grin in the end tell everything...so genuine...like a kid in the candy shop
It's impossible not to love Erik.
He's such a humble, personable guy.
The health difficulties he's had to overcome, in order to pursue his passion, make his already stunning videos that much more remarkable.
He's truly an inspiration.
Happy sailing, Erik!
Congratulations on the new job! Hopefully this channel grows to the point where UA-cam becomes your one and only job.
Thanks to those companies for helping, we all will benefit!
Good on see these sponsors recognise the need to support this channel. By far the most engaging sailing channel on YT.
Delighted to see that Tasker is still in the Sails business. We had his sails on my wee Pelican dinghy in Perth, in the mid '60s. Happy days!
Your Contessa 35 must be the most tricked out boat of the kind now, with all these cool upgrades.
They couldn't have chosen a better spokesman in my humble. Congratulations

Great new additions to your sails, and a super video to showcase them, Erik! Looking forward to seeing more videos with Tessie roaring downwind.
What a gourgeous gennaker! We are fans from Brazil! Your vídeos are inspiring!🤩
New rig looks really sweet. A great recommendation for a Cutter rig. The black Gennaker will mean we all see you coming.. Have fun this summer.
The last few minutes of this are the only languid, relaxed sailing I've seen on your channel. Hope you have plenty of opportunity for the gennaker in the future.
Erik, Missed you man. Incredible how the boat looks with the new sails, specially with the new gennaker. Your smile says it all about how it feels to sail it. Cannot wait to see more videos. Congrats.

Looking forward to joining the next adventure!

Why has it taken me so long to find this great channel. All I can say is keep it coming.
This is the only channel I have supported by buying merchandise, love my NBJS hoodie. Nice addition of the stay sail and gennaker...if only I had a successful UA-cam channel.
I just love these pure sailing videos. Not a bikini, snorkel or coral reef in sight.
Excellent, love the way you do it all yourself - and show us. The new gennaker looks amazing
