I know this is an older video, but hope you see this. I’m looking at the 21’s and yours is clearly the earlier/non-extended PH version with helm amidships. Are you still happy with the boat? Thanks for the great video.
Yes very happy with the boat. Fuel efficiency is great and has proven very reliable and sea worthy. We had another child so I'm thinking of getting a bigger boat but I cant say anything bad about the R-21 classic. Well built and really fun.
These are really good videos - your soundtrack is well placed with your edits and the music is new and refreshing (at least to me). Great sail and boat handling too.
Nice video Leo ! Super fun event, one of the best West Coast race weeks. A pleasure sailing with Palaemon for 2022 Longpoint. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner - ORR.
Just a comment on your videos, good to see you are capturing racing but it is much better to hear onboard commentary rather than music overlay. It was an exciting race and would be good to hear what was happening onboard rather than music which I had to mute
Thanks Frank! I agree but when I started making these videos I learned that sailors sometimes say some... odd things. Indeed many skippers I have filmed flat do not want the sound on. That's why I put music over everything. I think I may try to selectively put some more audio in. I actually really like the sounds the boats make. I'd like to make a video just of maneuvers and the burps and groans the boat makes doing them.
I have watched a bunch of boats vs. Haulover and I'd say it could be done but there would definitely be a problem making headway if the current was against you. You would have to time it just right for sure.
@@buoy26productions41 that's a very confident answer. I've seen the videos too. Haulover ain't no joke. But I do agree on the timing thing. Against the current would be very slow going.
Good grief! Get yourself a dock or a berth, or a mooring buoy. I leave my 21 in the water year round because I use it a lot but if I had to go through all that monkey motion I'd probably get rid of it.
Yes I still have the boat. I should be making more videos soon. I fished a fair bit lately but did not catch any fish so I was not making videos very fast.
Mine is an R21c with a Yanmar 3YM30 diesel engine. The difference is that the Classic or "C" models have more stern deck space whereas the EC or "Extended Cabin" models have a bigger cabin and less deck space in the stern. The EC's are usually newer models and have more comfortable seats, a stove, and usually a head with a tank rather than a prota-potty for a toilet. You should know, both versions are slow boats (top speed 8-10 mph) but they are highly fuel efficient.
