Sailing on my own to Darwin today. Not much wind so I decided to see how well I can tune the sails to get the maximum out of my Crowther performance catamaran.
I had a sea bird come land on deck. I named him Fred and he stayed with me for 2 days.
This was quite a challenging passage to do solo as there was lots of navigating to do, lots of tidal currents to deal with and shifting winds. I love a good challenge though.
Join me for this passage across one the most remote places in Australia.
Thanks for watching

Huge Congratulations on your new crew member!! Now a family of three! Hope Marie is doing and feeling well and bub is doing well! Much love from The Jamess!

I reckon that all us cruisers are addicts constantly chasing the hit of days like that. No swell, 12-15kn and flying along on a sunny day with all your sails up. Yeah baby!! Great vid. Good to see you solo again

@SailingLearningByDoing 9 месяцев назад

Yeah something like that for sure.

Marie & Vernon: a huge congratulation's are in order Marie, hopefully there weren't any complications and your birthing pains were limited with this epic accomplishment. We haven't heard NEWS on your babies gender Marie, yet will wait for next Friday and hopefully a video chat from France. Again, thanks for the episode Vernon, nice to see you had crew aboard while sailing to Darwin.

@SailingLearningByDoing 9 месяцев назад

Thanks David, we will see you next Friday. We are very happy here, our lives have changed, amazing last few days.

Started the Fanny Bay Yacht club 57 years ago in a bunker just after i got out of Fanny Bay Prison for a drunken brawl with some TIs , Oh the memories , A young nurse from the hospital died from a sting , Terrible death , couldnt do anything for her , Still makes me sad today . Hey great speeds , Used to race on a 55footer cat with a meter wide wing mask on a swivel > Never sailed dead down wing , Congats on the kid .

Great video but thanks for not showing us yourself "woncing around with your tangle out"! 😀 Never heard that phrase before, even though I lived in Oz for a few years. It's now one of my favourite phrases 😀

@SailingLearningByDoing 9 месяцев назад

Ad lib. Probably meant to say, prancing/wandering around with my tangle out.

@s3c0ndkz 9 месяцев назад

Coffee would taste even better if you START heating the water with the grounds already in there (cowboy coffee). Much richer but smoother, and brown-ish in color. Only need an open pot for ease of cleaning. Careful it can cause foam to flow up onto your stove though. Worth the extra work IMO.

@SailingLearningByDoing 9 месяцев назад

I've got a taste for the way I do it now. The whole point is that there are no extra steps. I love a well made coffee and dont mind paying for a good one now and then but while sailing, simple is best. I have an aeropress onboard but rarely use it. Marie drinks tea so the coffee is just for me.

Love the rigging on your boat, lots of tuning😊 Can you move your anchor over to the left? Looks like another roller.

@SailingLearningByDoing 9 месяцев назад

Yes I will try that, not sure if the change of angle will affect the anchor winch though.

Vernon another awesome video and a Huge CONGRADULATIONS TO BOTH mARIE AND YOU WITH THE NEW ADDITION. I'm hoping to catch your live feed next Friday, but it will all depend on how I'm coping as I'm having knee surgery on Tuesday 21st, If I don't catch live I'll watch it as a regular video. Yes Trade Runner did some real awesome speeds this trip wow. And you arrived in Darwin perfect timing it seemed. Okay catch you later and again Congrats

@SailingLearningByDoing 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Jonathan. Good luck with your surgery. I’ve had 3 knee reconstructions so I feel you.

@Antipodean33 9 месяцев назад

What are the benefits of the rotating mast? Is it necessary for a cruising boat, even a quick cruising boat like this beauty?

@SailingLearningByDoing 9 месяцев назад

Having the mast rotate is all about airflow over the sail. Rotating the mast actually makes it part of the sail area. Imagine on a normal mast, the wind has to around the mast before attaching to the sail, thus reducing efficiency. In really strong wind the mast alone is my 4th reef

@dale3696 9 месяцев назад

Vernon, you often talk about degrees...120 degrees, etc...I love your channel but know nothing about sailing.. Can you please explain degrees...I know 360 degrees in a circle... but where is the wind coming from in relation to the degrees....Is the way the boat pointing, is that 0 degrees??..Soz for silly question, but I gots too know man...lol Keep up the great work

@SailingLearningByDoing 9 месяцев назад

Great question Dale. There are 2 ways I'll talk about degrees, our boats heading and the wind direction. You're right, a circle has 360 degrees, so does a compass. 360 is due north, 180 south etc. If our heading is 270 degrees it means we are sailing due west. When talking about the wind its in relation to the boat. If I say the wind is coming from 270 then its coming from my left/port side( we call that a beam reach), if its coming from 180 then the wind is coming from directly behind me. Its easier to understand at a diagram. Hope this helps

@dale3696 9 месяцев назад

@stephenburgess626 9 месяцев назад

Vernon, what kind of psychopath are you? Get a mocha pot. :-) Same level of work but better coffee . I think you might be able to move your anchor roller to the back of the trampoline maybe? Some catamarans do that.

@SailingLearningByDoing 9 месяцев назад

But its not the same level of work at all, that the point! A mocha pot is double the amount of steps for about 20% better taste. It just doesn't make sense.
