The first sail aboard Ruby Rose with Nick and Terysa is an event we will never forget. And not just because Jason had food poisoning and hogged the toilet 💩. You may not have been impressed with yourselves that day but I was. Everything in stride and never a laughing moment missed. Happy to be your crew and 🎥 woman again anytime! 🤗
I consider myself an experienced sailor. I was a powerboater all my life, then learned to sail. Became a sailing instructor. I've been on and operated many different models of boat. There's something about getting on a new boat that makes you forget how basic things work. Its hard to describe, but when you're comfortable with a boat everything goes easy. When you are just on the boat for the first time, nothing is quite right. The lines are different, the boat moves different. Everything is in just a slightly different place, so you can't grab it from memory. You have to think about every single action which was once automatic. It can be overwhelming in a way which seems silly, or ridiculous, or embarrassing after the fact. At this point, I've come to expect it, and I've learned to let myself be less "perfect" on a new boat. The little bit of grace, actually, makes the whole thing smoother. This is the same situation; your little mistakes are completely understandable and, to an extent, even expected. Seeing the less-than-great times just makes us feel like we're on the adventure with you that much more. Thanks for sharing!
So many UA-camrs pretend to be perfect, never showing any mistakes they make. The brutal honesty of this channel is refreshing. Makes everything they produce believable. Well done.
Mate. Our latest mistake (only a few days ago so you’ll need to wait for the episode) was so huge and the consequences so close to being catastrophic, I’m still recovering emotionally. We made an episode about it and have been brutally honest about the entire thing. We’ve made a LOT of mistakes since taking delivery of RR2 and it’s been very humbling to be honest.
I still remember the review of other catamarans, in which so much effort was put on reporting that they were not good for people who are not tall. Now it turns out that your own boat is worse than than those ones. Also, I am not at all impressed about the exposed faults in the brand new boat. As final comments, a) I love the sails but wonder how durable they will be under strong UV, and how expensive they are. b) the honesty in showing the mishaps is refreshing.
Now that I'm older, I've learned that it's a HUGE asset to be able to laugh at oneself and events that don't go as planned. It's ALWAYS a much happier outcome than anger. You handled it beautifully and seem to have acquired that wonderful asset much younger than I did. I love you guys. Thank you.
I'm going to repeat myself, because I think I nailed it last time I commented.... Nick gets snarky, when he's stressed, to prove how smart he is, but when he's not stressed, he's so glib, and even goofy, and proves how smart he really is. Happy you all had a good time, and look forward to more RR... ...stay chill Nick, don't stress the small stuff, and remember, it's all small stuff.
Tereysa looks so much happier. Nick… a little stressed. But you both have your drive back. Good job Wynns helping out and keeping the spirit positive. Thanks for taking us along. 😊
@@sailingrubyrose especially new ones. But I will say I can see Nick is happy to have Tereysa back. Have a beer. You have a tribe behind ya. And a community next to you. 👍🏼
I’m so impressed with your comms and respect for each other. Amanda an I jumped on our new (to us) boat and fell into a heap of yelling and regret. I understand the stress. You’ve done beautifully.
@@caribbeanchild I picked up on that as well. Does seem to some tension going on. A problem when being separated for so long is that you get used to a life by yourself instead of as a couple. Hopefully the transition back to a couple works out ok for them.
I am so happy to see you two back out there on the water. It probably was nice to have Nicky and Jason onboard to help out. Terysa, as to the springer lines, you've said it yourself, it's been two years, really, for both of you since you've been sailing. You're getting the rust off. The boat is still afloat, it's in one piece, it's just recalling the things that you used to do, and they will come back, and you will be fine Having watched Nicky and Jason's videos before this, of course, I know some of what's coming, and I'm looking forward to your take on them. Stay safe, have fun!
It's amazing how your take on the day is so different than gonwiththewynns take on the day. But you are always very upfront with what you do which is why both channels are great. Super happy you're back to boat life.
This is a very real and honest portrayal of what was essentially your own shakedown passage. You chose the best crew mates in Nikki and Jason to share this with. They are just so positive and that is what you need on such days. Love to you all and thanks for being yourselves!
We had a Seawind 1160 and left the stern line just looped around a cleat on the dock , caught by the starboard or port tail I used to say , then motor against dock and hold it by the motor then slightly take the pressure off and the line will pull the boat back a little and slightly out hopefully ,with the wind, and so then you’re about a foot out and parallel to the dock and quickly pull the line in, (it’s just open looped, )and drive off . You will get used to the motion, we were three years on a Seawind and seldom unwell after getting used to the motion. Boat looks great you’re doing fantastic . Great sailors. We got stuck against the dock with the wind a couple of times over twenty knots where we just could Not get off doesn’t matter what we did, just had to wait, really like to have oversize fenders too so you need them a lot. That will be a wonderful home that boat it’s a star. Strongest boat out there.
We all love the honesty. Your editing shows what it is really like. I for one will never stop watching you guys and a shout out to Nikki and Jason. Much love
As with any new boat, learning to handle the lines docking and undocking takes time. You guys did a very credible job. Fun to watch your interactions with the Wynns.
You’ve done an excellent job of coping with the first few days of your new boat. One day soon you’ll be able to look back and laugh at some of these learning experiences. Those sails are massive!
Sailing with friends is one of life's greatest pleasures, for a sailor. Switching roles Skipper to crew keeps it interesting! . Great job all😂❤🎉 big congratulations on the new ryde!
Couldn't agree more - switching roles is very important but so darned hard at times! Learning to shut up, not take control and do as you're told is a big issue (for me)
Having watched the Wynn's video and yours, hindsight is incredibly clear, lol. The Wynns got a BIG break in getting to learn the vessel before receiving theirs. Hope you two can work out that screecher furling system. I know I would have made every mistake plus some to boot. I'm sure you will get it all sorted out, she is a beautiful vessel.
A couple of suggestions. 1. I’ve seen a really clever device to help zip and unzip the stack pack. You install a small (micro sized) block at each end of the bag. Then you run a small diameter line through the pulleys forming a loop and tying both ends to the zipper. As long as you can reach the line somewhere in the loop you can pull the zipper open or closed from that point. 2. I noticed some line jams mounted to the side of the mast. I’ve had bad experience with stuff like that mounted to the mast catching the jib sheets during tacks. Since your primary jib is a non-overlapping self tacking jib, so maybe this won’t be a problem. Also, it looks like the stoppers are potentially shrouded by the diamond stays. So maybe the stoppers will not be a problem.
I am so happy for the two of you! WoW its been two years in the making!! RR is such a sweet boat!! Thanks for sharing your adventures with all of us! Congrats!!
Well done guys! There's loads of stuff from all sorts of industries about human factors and task loading. Learning to sail a new boat wiht all its quirks and problems and getting it sorted must be very stressful. Really great to have the Wynn's along and they're really showing what a great couple of people and sailors they are! I thought you'd had them along deliberately as a favour to have an experienced catamaran couple with you on your first sail! You'll definitely have to have them back again to thank them for helping you on this sail too :-)!
Well done! I couldn't start to imagine how intense the 1st day on the water must have been. 100% all worth it in the end. The content is both real & entertaining. Thanks to you all.
Thank you so much for this, the overwhelm makes total sense and is so helpful for any of us who have been in that situation. Thank you so much for showing it all.
Nice to see everyone getting their sea legs back. It's been a long time coming and a challenge for RR2. Now comes the break-in and new toys squeak sometimes.
It’s been a while since I’ve checked in with you guys (took a few years’ hiatus) but I am so amazed at what you’ve achieved in the time I’ve been away. Love you guys and can’t wait to catch up on your journey over the last few years ❤️ - Tasha
Just so wonderful to see you back on the blue, to see you tackling the operation of a new boat, and to hear your laughter as you string through the eye of that needle!
I want to thank you for being one of the channels that got me back into sailing after 30 years. I am no expert but i think you guys are doing great, considering it's not just a new boat but a new TYPE of boat. I'm sure you'll start enjoying it fully soon. However, this video has reinforced my view that as far as sailing is concerned i would stick to a mono and if i decide i just want to cruise between islands in comfort i would go for a power cat, maybe a hybrid one like the new Xquisite. Cheers! Maybe I'll see you in Annapolis.
I am a technical guy like Nick so I did enjoy watching the boats being built and all the technical B.S. With that said it’s is great to see you two back together again, working together with every thing and great to see Terysa back to the videos! It has been a long stressful road for you two to get to this moment, just calm down, enjoy it and whatever happens don’t let it stress you, annoy you ect! Very happy for you two, you deserve it!!
Soooo glad to see you both/all back on the water and learning together! Hang in there guys........... a HUGE learning curve ahead for this new boat. HUGS!!
Congratulations on setting off, oh the stress level was high in the video I sure it was much higher in person, it's like a 1000 points of prep and dreams all arriving in one point in time, then nature gets its way.....I bet you are all flowing with it much better now! Great episode. Thanks for sharing
Everything about this new boat is soooo much different than your previous vessel it is almost like starting from scratch. After you iron out all the new boat issues and get into a more comfortable groove with this big rig you can start to enjoy the world around you. Until then RR2 will demand your full attention and patience.
Goog to see you two together and sailing. Better than Nick alone showing how quickly paint was drying in the factory. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Great to see you all sorting out the issues just like the early days. It won’t be long before you become well oiled veterans of life at sea like you were prior to the build. It’s fun to be on the sidelines watching such authentic scenes that you captured. To quote you both “it is what it is” we just make the best of it and like magic it sorts it’s self out! Wishing you both continued success.
Life can be an adventure. All is well if no one is hurt or boat not damaged. I wonder how my wife at 60 inches would handle such a boat. We currently travel with an off road travel trailer (caravan). Lots of wild public lands here in Oregon and western US. It is good to see you both on the water again on your own boat.
After you've had the boat for a while, you'll find you rarely need to spring off. Only in adverse wind or current should you need a spring line once you've got the hang of it. Next time, try this. Turn the wheel hard over toward the dock. I believe in your case the dock was port side, so turn the wheel hard to port. Then with the dock side engine (port in your case) give a strong burst forward, then back to neutral. The prop wash across the rudder will kick the ass end away from the dock while also rotating the bow off the dock. Straighten the wheel and drive away.
🎉🎉great episode ❤❤❤, you 2 with Jason and Nikki well….. that’s just good stuff. Poor Jason , sick all day. 8pm , I’m good lol story of my life. Congratulations 🍾 on the new boat 🛶 , remember your worst day still beats the working class best day.❤
I'm not clear how I suffered more stress than Nick did? I moved three times over 15 years and never had to worry if the new house would float. Love all four of you guys! Best wishes.
Love all the uncertainties - a new boat, new way of doing things, but still the same mindset, remain calm, be clear and concise, be nice and enjoy a beer at the end..... well done
Nothing more unnerving than a shakedown cruise, where everything that can go wrong will go wrong! You will find that differential thrust is the ticket is close quarters, and the need to spring is much less needed on a catamaran. I never touch the helm until well clear, using only differential thrust, and only spring with a stiff wind or current on the beam. Once you get the hang of it, a catamaran is much easier to maneuver close quarters than a monohull. Cheers!
a performance boat you will need smaller sails and lighter loads and therefore easier to manage. I remember sailing a 55 foot monohull for the first time after regularly sailing 36 footers and the difference in winch sizes and loads
Undocking with the cat is much easier once you get it figured out. We would pick up all lines with the wind blowing us on to the dock and use a fender at the bow or stern, depending on how we wanted to rotate the boat, and use the engines to rotate and push off the fender. Under 15 knts of wind pushing us on and we could just turn the rudders toward the dock and use the engine to rotate the boat away. The prop wash from the engine pushing forward pushed us away from the dock. Was always fun to look at people's faces puzzled by how we went sideways up wind. You'll have this down soon enough. Enjoy your new boat!
Unless you have a strong wind onto the dock you don't need to spring off a twin screw cat . Port side two , let go everything , we always made sure all lines could be let go from on board, no figure of eights on the dock. Ensure you have a big fender right aft JIC . When all ropes clear , hard over towards the jetty , min ahead on the port and min astern on the starboard, the prop wash on the port lifts the stern out and astern on the starboard pulls the bow out , the big fender protects the stern . Reverse fo SST . PS I'm a retired ship master, marine pilot and lived on a 43 foot cat for 18 years .
It’s so good to see you back on the water sailing, and motoring, on RR2. Nikki and Jason have been two of my favorite people to watch ever since they bought their first RV. You two are right up there with my favorite sailing families to keep in touch with and I watch almost every episode. Watching you all on the same boat is very entertaining and fun to say the least. Thank you for sharing the fun, and the mishaps along the way and hang in there as it will all come back to you both over time.
Nicely done! Excellent crew pick for the first sail! It's amazing how you forget little important details in the moment that could have gone very bad, quickly & didn't. Back to practice, remember - slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Fair winds....
It great to see you both on camera following you on UA-cam now for two years Jason Nicky more than that. I am glad you now sailing found the ship build boring. I tune to escape the daily grind. Congratulations on your new boat all the best Andrew from Cambridge 🇬🇧
Have to say again. Absolutely love the logo on the sail. Nikki and Jason introduced you to me and I forever appreciative of it. You guys are awesome. Looking forward to the new adventures.
You two are doing great! Just be patient, understanding and kind. I think you will soon see it all come back to you with in a little time. Enjoy this moment.
Thanks for your honesty. It reminds me of the first day when we charter a cat in a new location. Exciting but also plenty of information overload. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.
Nick and Jason yeaaaah I miss them so much. RR2 is stunning her sails are amazing. I'm so looking forward to part 2 of your sailing adventure . I'm sitting in my garden in the UK in the sun watching you guys live my dream, thanks . Let's get this show on the road oops the water. If you are still there, the fire show at fishermans village is the best
Don’t be too hard to yourselves!! All a learning process!!! Take it easy!!!! Boat look great, you look great, there will be more challenges till you know your boat better and the small problems get sorted out!!! All will be great! Have fun and enjoy. Thanks
more content like this and you'll be styling the youtube algo. Really liked the raw honest truth and thanks for sharing the vunerable experience that is your maiden voyage :) So happy for the two of you. Also, I have to add, a bad day on the golf course is never really a bad day. So envious and you should remember that with every niggle picked up. Today I bought my first couple hunderd kg's of 600g doube bias for the trimaran I'm building. I'm doing this alone and in fairness it will take about 3-4 years to complete. Remember that the next time when a watermaker or a aircon acts up. Some fellow out there is still building a boat.
Challenging first sail, that you coped well with. But for the future, you almost never need a spring with a cat. One engine in reverse, the other in forward will rotate you on the spot even with a strong wind pushing you on to the dock. When you get an angle you can just motor forward on both.
The first sail aboard Ruby Rose with Nick and Terysa is an event we will never forget. And not just because Jason had food poisoning and hogged the toilet 💩.
You may not have been impressed with yourselves that day but I was. Everything in stride and never a laughing moment missed.
Happy to be your crew and 🎥 woman again anytime! 🤗
You guys are too wholesome, all four of you.
NEVER a laughing moment missed, especially with you two onboard. ❤ Thank you again for all the things, we appreciate you!

Sailors dont pretend what i know ^^
Definitely going to be a learning curve to get used to RR2 vs RR. Plus being off the water for a few years.

@@sailingrubyrose I love that you’re so honest. We all can learn, and makes us all want to challenge ourselves. Thank you
I love how Niki defuses situations. “You have all the time in the world” she said with a wonderful supportive smile.

Bahahahah we do have a camera in our faces so we have to behave 😉
It's called "editing". All the smiles in the intro is a big tell. I give it six months.
Initial sessions on a new boat are always as much as a shakedown for the crew, regardless of their experience, as they are for the boat 😊
@@caribbeanchild I picked up on that as well. Does seem to some tension going on. A problem when being separated for so long is that you get used to a life by yourself instead of as a couple. Hopefully the transition back to a couple works out ok for them.
Makes me pleased that I downsized to a smaller yacht this year, much easier 🤣
The couple who can laugh together stays together. 🎉🎉
It won’t take too long for you and RR2 to get to know each other. Enjoy the process and please tighten the standing rigging!

I was wrong.... Mint confession. love u guys
Lovely to see you two sailing RR2. Max props to how you communicate and learn from the difficulties.
A couple of suggestions.

Then you run a small diameter line through the pulleys forming a loop and tying both ends to the zipper. As long as you can reach the line somewhere in the loop you can pull the zipper open or closed from that point.

Lots of wild public lands here in Oregon and western US. It is good to see you both on the water again on your own boat.
After you've had the boat for a while, you'll find you rarely need to spring off. Only in adverse wind or current should you need a spring line once you've got the hang of it.
Next time, try this. Turn the wheel hard over toward the dock. I believe in your case the dock was port side, so turn the wheel hard to port. Then with the dock side engine (port in your case) give a strong burst forward, then back to neutral. The prop wash across the rudder will kick the ass end away from the dock while also rotating the bow off the dock. Straighten the wheel and drive away.
Tereysa looks wonderful. Missed her on the videos. I’m sure she’ll be more relaxed soon.
You were ambitious to spring. I am still getting over the debrief detail crammed into a day.
Glad to see you guys out on that new boat! You will get all of the "newness" worked out soon! Exciting time for you both!
Love the black sails. I have to admit I’m green with envy. That catamaran is a beauty.
Fantastic boat Nick and Terysa!. Glad you are both back out on water , Loved the money shot too :)
🎉🎉great episode ❤❤❤, you 2 with Jason and Nikki well….. that’s just good stuff. Poor Jason , sick all day. 8pm , I’m good lol story of my life. Congratulations 🍾 on the new boat 🛶 , remember your worst day still beats the working class best day.❤
Great to see you two back again! Teresa, glad you are healthy.
Love you guys
So glad your back on a boat well ok yacht
Congratulations
It’s been along time coming
Fair winds
Love ya both
I'm not clear how I suffered more stress than Nick did? I moved three times over 15 years and never had to worry if the new house would float. Love all four of you guys! Best wishes.
Love all the uncertainties - a new boat, new way of doing things, but still the same mindset, remain calm, be clear and concise, be nice and enjoy a beer at the end..... well done
Great video guys. Love the new CAT!!!!
Thank you!!
Awesome episode guys, love the fact that you show it warts and all.
Nothing more unnerving than a shakedown cruise, where everything that can go wrong will go wrong! You will find that differential thrust is the ticket is close quarters, and the need to spring is much less needed on a catamaran. I never touch the helm until well clear, using only differential thrust, and only spring with a stiff wind or current on the beam. Once you get the hang of it, a catamaran is much easier to maneuver close quarters than a monohull. Cheers!
a performance boat you will need smaller sails and lighter loads and therefore easier to manage. I remember sailing a 55 foot monohull for the first time after regularly sailing 36 footers and the difference in winch sizes and loads
Undocking with the cat is much easier once you get it figured out. We would pick up all lines with the wind blowing us on to the dock and use a fender at the bow or stern, depending on how we wanted to rotate the boat, and use the engines to rotate and push off the fender. Under 15 knts of wind pushing us on and we could just turn the rudders toward the dock and use the engine to rotate the boat away. The prop wash from the engine pushing forward pushed us away from the dock. Was always fun to look at people's faces puzzled by how we went sideways up wind. You'll have this down soon enough. Enjoy your new boat!
Unless you have a strong wind onto the dock you don't need to spring off a twin screw cat .
Port side two , let go everything , we always made sure all lines could be let go from on board, no figure of eights on the dock.
Ensure you have a big fender right aft JIC . When all ropes clear , hard over towards the jetty , min ahead on the port and min astern on the starboard, the prop wash on the port lifts the stern out and astern on the starboard pulls the bow out , the big fender protects the stern . Reverse fo SST .
PS I'm a retired ship master, marine pilot and lived on a 43 foot cat for 18 years .
Glad to see you on the water again.
Oh, and thanks for the explanation at the end about the spring line. Learning this stuff is interesting.
Yay, so so so so happy for u guys. Already seen GWTWs' video 🤭 12:14 money shot if anyone is interested 🤣🤣🤣
"Hoping For Better" will improve soon as your skills build, and, the Seawind is one of the best looking catamarans out there, and that is a big plus.
Nikki is a force of nature! What a great person to have aboard - she was magnificent in all sorts of ways
Is she pregnant?
@@Jimfinn649 ummm ... ??
It’s so good to see you back on the water sailing, and motoring, on RR2. Nikki and Jason have been two of my favorite people to watch ever since they bought their first RV. You two are right up there with my favorite sailing families to keep in touch with and I watch almost every episode. Watching you all on the same boat is very entertaining and fun to say the least. Thank you for sharing the fun, and the mishaps along the way and hang in there as it will all come back to you both over time.
Our pleasure!
So nice to see you enjoying your new boat and having Nikki and Jason along with you as well❤ Fairwinds, smooth sailing!
Nicely done! Excellent crew pick for the first sail! It's amazing how you forget little important details in the moment that could have gone very bad, quickly & didn't. Back to practice, remember - slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Fair winds....
So exciting to watch this new adventure
It great to see you both on camera following you on UA-cam now for two years Jason Nicky more than that. I am glad you now sailing found the ship build boring. I tune to escape the daily grind. Congratulations on your new boat all the best Andrew from Cambridge 🇬🇧
WISH I WAS THERE Looks SO FUN!!! I will be in Bangkok in a couple Months!!!! timing is everything 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Working the BUGS out!!!!!! Very COOL
Have to say again. Absolutely love the logo on the sail. Nikki and Jason introduced you to me and I forever appreciative of it. You guys are awesome. Looking forward to the new adventures.
Oh so glad to see you both sailing on your boat....so lovely
Absolutely agree Nick, every time you get in and out of a tight spot without damage it is a great success. 😎 Wish I was anchored in Thailand
Glad you are back T - absence creates alot of mutual tolerance :)
You two are doing great! Just be patient, understanding and kind. I think you will soon see it all come back to you with in a little time. Enjoy this moment.
With so many new systems to learn you've done incredibly well not to kill each other!
Thanks for your honesty. It reminds me of the first day when we charter a cat in a new location. Exciting but also plenty of information overload. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.
Absolutely!
It was really fun to see how different yours and the Wynn's videos are of the same event!
Glad your back enjoy breathe many hugs
Nick and Jason yeaaaah I miss them so much. RR2 is stunning her sails are amazing. I'm so looking forward to part 2 of your sailing adventure . I'm sitting in my garden in the UK in the sun watching you guys live my dream, thanks . Let's get this show on the road oops the water. If you are still there, the fire show at fishermans village is the best
So Happy to see all 4 of you guys. Congratulations on Ruby Rose 2
Enjoying the content as always, good to see you two back on the water.
Glad you enjoyed it
Harbor unknown just did a review were there 1600 sea wind might want to check that out
Don’t be too hard to yourselves!! All a learning process!!! Take it easy!!!! Boat look great, you look great, there will be more challenges till you know your boat better and the small problems get sorted out!!! All will be great! Have fun and enjoy. Thanks
That's the plan!
Glad to see you guys back on the water! Let the next adventure begin!
Donate for a Dream
Love seeing you guys back on the water.
Put a long lanyard on the sail bag zipper Teresa with Velcro on the end to tab it off to the sail bag,just a thought.
Perfectly imperfect, thanks for the view of sailing reality. Cheers you 2!
I am looking forward to the adventures that are soon to come. Lovely to see you sailing (and motoring, too) again.
More to come!
more content like this and you'll be styling the youtube algo. Really liked the raw honest truth and thanks for sharing the vunerable experience that is your maiden voyage :) So happy for the two of you. Also, I have to add, a bad day on the golf course is never really a bad day. So envious and you should remember that with every niggle picked up. Today I bought my first couple hunderd kg's of 600g doube bias for the trimaran I'm building. I'm doing this alone and in fairness it will take about 3-4 years to complete. Remember that the next time when a watermaker or a aircon acts up. Some fellow out there is still building a boat.
Shakedown cruises are always fun
Challenging first sail, that you coped well with. But for the future, you almost never need a spring with a cat. One engine in reverse, the other in forward will rotate you on the spot even with a strong wind pushing you on to the dock. When you get an angle you can just motor forward on both.
