Why We Sail--"Acoustic and Electric Self Steering"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2016
- Would Django Reinhardt steer you wrong?
Boats are Ericson 32-3 and Ericson 381 with Sailomat 800 servo pendulum and Raymarine EV-1 wheel pilot.
Mr. Christian is a bloody poet... These videos are little treasures. All I can say is "Thanks, Cap!" and "I'm buying your book cuz I know it's going to be brilliant."
Masterful storytelling. No surprise given Christian's amazing career in journalism. Love the Django analogy.
an eloquent wordsmith with velvet vowels that soothe sore ears ,its a hypnotic voice the envy of late night radio d js
This may be my current favorite sailing video on all of UA-cam - magnifique!
Thank you sir for introducing me to such a wonderful artist. Peace and blessings...
Beautiful choice of illustrative music. Coincidently just as I received the notification of your video I was listening to John Jorgenson playing "Billet Doux" the Django classic
Merci beaucoup monsieur Williams pour ces belles images, ces pensées réfléchies et cette musique d'un temps passé mais toujours actuel.
Loving the book, and what a pleasant surprise to see this video pop up as well. Thanks Christian. With age, windsurfing days are long gone. Have a classic plastic as well, and enjoying sailing, tinkering, and hopes of much more. Thanks for the inspiration!
I always watch what you post Christian - thanks for sharing...
Self-steering seems like a smart way to go when single handing a boat. Plus, it doesn't yell commands at you while underway. Having a warning alarm and maybe redundancy on the auto-pilot should make sleeping a possibility as opposed to finding your self unable to fall asleep while underway out of fear of collision as sea.
That was great Christian. Thanks for turning me onto Django Reinhardt. I will be researching him and hopefully downloading his music.
To change the topic, you seem like you may be old school enough to know how to do celestial navigation. If so , an episode devoted to the subject could be interesting. Thanks.
Best narrator there is!
absolutely. . . the coolest sailor on the planet.
Reminds me of the narrator on Warren Miller ski movies.
have you listened to his audio book? its 11 hours VERY well spent.
Thanks Christian .. I watch Delos, La Vagabond, Wicked Salty and Shawn/Julia Sailing religiously... But always race home to watch your vids :) .. Please update us on the new boat.
Just finished the book. The except from Skip Allen and 'Wildfire' really hit home. Thank you.

Fresh, different and highly engaging - congratulations! And warm Pacific greetings from New Zealand.
Hi, I have recently read your book. You have a great sense of humour, quite unusual for an American (apologies to all others), more like a pommie. You've added to my motivation to go single handed around the Pacific Islands at age 69.
That's it now I too am an instant fan of Django Reinhardt. Really weird as I go through my play list I have more and more trouble finding artists that are still living! Where are the contemporary incarnations of this kind of beauty. BTW great mix of sailing water and sunset, video put me in a mello mood. Thanks.
Thank you for the french touch at the end (from Paris)
Thankyou for the introduction, I enjoy your dry presentations, there's not wrong with that keepem coming.
Learning from others is one thing. Doing on your own is another.
always a pleasure to see your videos pop up! well done.
I love this videos they are not to long and I always learn something.
You’re just an angel in disguise. Great version.
The new boat is looking great! I like those large Raymarine displays.
Very entertaining and I like Christian's taste in music. Keep posting!
Django Reinhardt! “Acoustic” self steering! Damn, I’d like to buy you a drink!
usually I think the music a detractor, but you've created some beautiful art here.
Absolutely love you videos ! Thanks for sharing.
i'm absolutely loving your videos. please keep them coming!
Iconically attractive as usual. And, as the first video of my day, with a splendid strong cafe, c'est magique alors!
Perfect juxtaposition of Django and the sea.
It's great to see a new upload from you. Ironically, I became a Django fan after hearing the music from your Alone Together; L.A. to Hawaii. Thanks
Love You're videos....Top Notch.
At about the 2:38 mark the waves and the music are awesome.
Looks as if you stressed the boom a bit on your jibe. I like to sail with a tight main sheet, and then I use the traveler to adjust the main. I'll let out the main sheet only when I am well off the wind, and I'll tighten the vang. Using the traveler with a tight main sheet keeps the boom in check on jibes.
Just finished your book - excellent video too!
Thanks great vid be well be safe!!!
Love your videos pure soul💚🌀💧🔥🌏
its rare to see badasses these days
Nice relaxing video... I will be adding your tunes to my play list. I appreciate your videos I have learned a lot , thank you.

Smooth...It seems you've made significant progress on the wiring since your last video. That process would interest me much. The boat is looking more lovely with each progressive video. I don't want to put pressure on you, but I suffer greatly between your uploads in anticipation of the next. Editing each one must be a lot of work. I must remain patient. All that said it just seems logical that you head back to Hawaii this coming summer. August perhaps would be a good month. ;) This time we could all visit Maui or the Big Island. Perhaps you won't feel the need to do it yourself, but could take one of your family members who might well like the sea as much as you. A grandson perhaps...Thank you for your efforts.
Great music, great colors and hues from the water and sky. But as a beginning sailor with still a lot to learn and practice ,I ask how is this self steering and self navigating really sailing? One of fascinating things that I see in sailing is that there is so much to do while sailing the boat - setting the course, trimming the sails properly for the wind conditions and tack you are on and to reach your destination efficiently, or leisurely as you wish, deciding when to tack or when to jibe, whether to sail down wind or up, whether to be in a close haul, close reach, broad reach or to head down wind. Doesn't electronic self steering and self navigating take a lot of fun out of the sailing?
On bigger cruising boats, steering is a chore and a bore. Attention better spent on sail trim, navigation and systems monitoring. Think of it as a locomotive on tracks, not a dirt bike. Auto steering also does a better job than humans, whose attention wanders (because it really is boring to steer). None of this true for dinghies or racing, where skill and high attention are rewarded. Take the fun out? Maybe, a little. You can always take over the helm when teh need arises.
Was I wrong on starting to learn on small boats? I'm in my 70s and just started to learn sailing last year. My first sailing instruction was on a Sunfish then moved up to a 19' Flying Scot and have now sailed on 26 foot and 38 foot keel boats. The 38 footer had a wheel instead of a tiller and also had auto pilot but when I sailed this wasn't engaged. My comparison between the smaller boats and the larger boat experiences was like the difference between driving a sports car and a truck.
A flying Scot in 20 knots will teach more about sailing in a day than a year on a cruising boat. You're doing it right.
Thanks. That makes me feel better coming from one who loves sailing as obviously as you do. Love your videos and intend to buy your book about sailing solo to Hawaii and back. Just vacillating between format - the book or the kindle version.
That's a nice Video !
Loved it. James Booker next!?
when you turn the cockpit speakers up just a little, I can't hear the raymarine at all! thanks django!
Mmm, love me some Django!
Christian, I imagine you a great writer. Love your videos and next time you’re on Oahu, is love to meet you. Finally, you must have an extraordinary wife to allow you to do what you do.
God Damn you are one cool dude!
Hope you can write another book and take us along again ,I am still playing Monks music
Great video ..as usual... so.. what can you tell me about yawls ? I understand they "self steer" or can ..
Nice wing on wing at the end
Très bien, merci 😊
during ww11 he went back to France to play at the Hot Jazz club...
..even though he was Romani...he was so popular the Nazi's left him alone...
..his violin partner carpelli stayed in London till after the war...
Christian what would you think of a kettenburg k40 as a single hander,by the way love your vids ,loved the music,,fair winds ,,paul
Dude, you're a purest... as pure as they come. (In a manner of speaking) ⛵️. #saillife
How about "Analogue vs Digital" Where analogue is all about touch and feel compared to the digital on/off yes/no.
nice
Were you named after Fletcher Christian? :)
and j should like a guy like you on my board !
Hi Christian! What is the white foul weather coat you are wearing?
"Line 7" from New Zealand, heavy duty absolutely leak-proof stuff no longer manufactured. White is a silly color for foul weather gear, since in a storm the ocean is white. Everybody else complained that the fabric didn't breathe. Now supplanted by modern tech, but I loved it .
Asking for prayer.Yesterday a man on drugs attempted to kill my younger daughter.She is in Shock Trama with twelve stab wounds in critical care .She is 26 .The man who did it is dead of an over dose.
this is no joke.
I pray that she has recovered.
Sorry to say but jazz has no appeal; 'tis but a cacophany of disjointed noise.
nice
