Ketch vs Sloop with Zingaro and Sail Libra | BTS Podcast 12 

James ! YOU are the " Joe Rogan " podcaster of the sailing world ! These podcast are absolutely entertaining ! Keep bringing these on ! Thanks for sharing !

For the 2nd time now I watched the WHOLE 1.5 hour podcast. Big fan of you both. You might make a real cruiser out of this costal power buster yet.

Love your interviews. People open up to you because of your intellect and honesty.

Love James. So articulate, kind, smart and good while remaining interesting and real. He would be a great author.

I could listen to you two all day long...

Great video James and Ryan. James, I learned to make a dyneema soft shackle from your video. Good stuff!

I love love talking mechanics of the boat.

You all are great story teller's. So true just go to the dock and be curious and ask. Worked for me in 1972 in Clear Water FL. Inquired was invited on a 55ft 62 yr old Dutch sailing barge that was refitted in Virgin Islands. We sailed to Galveston TX a 15 day passage. Now mind you no modern navigation just this tiller and a old helms compass and vhf. We got caught in a hurricane that was like the perfect storm. 12 ton of ballast with lee boards. We all thought we were going to die. God's grace we lived and made it to the intercoastal water way to Galveston. We made it to the front page of the Galveston News Paper. I have since windsurfed 45 + winds living on Maui...smoke on the water. You all are I am sure world class....Now vicariously living reading your all wonder sailing experiences. Thank you!

Loved every minute of it really enjoyable and informative. You guys remind me of talking with buddies it’s relaxed, the way it should be! Dave

That's why I watch sailing channels! Not doing much news these days.

What good luck, I was just starting to look into the tradeoffs between Ketch and Sloop Rigs. Stoked to listen in.

In conclusion, sloops and ketches offer different advantages based on their sail configuration and design. Sloops excel in upwind performance with their larger mainsails, while ketches provide enhanced balance, stability, and easier sail handling with their distributed sail area and smaller mizzen sails.

Hey James, this conversation with Ryan from The Ketch, Libra was on a par with the one you did with John Kirshmer. Any one thinking of sailing their boat or crewing off shore either in the ocean or one of the great lakes should watch and listen to both of the broadcasts. Thank you both for bringing so very many incredibly important subjects to the table. These two shows are must watch for every new captain and crew member.

Thumbs up on the solid rail...we always had one in our boats and once you get used to it you will never ever go back on the knee jerkers

150m dyneema rope lol. We are onto you James. Classic. Love your work

While you guys are on the floating Ikea sailboat, I am so glad it was rotating in the water so we can see the real gorgeous Blue Ketch ❤. Glad to know that beautiful girl belongs to Ryan. Happy Saing ⛵

Great show.

What a great conversation!!! Thanks I watched the first one also, great insight into the sailing world and it was a lot of fun!!

Can’t wait to learn from Ryan and meet Libra. Great podcast

Really really enjoyed this super awesome and informative conversation between you and Ryan! I'm itching to get out and sail some bigger boats and learn more offshore sailing now that I've moved to the NC East Coast from TN lake sailing. This was fantastic! Please keep these conversations going- LOVED IT!!

Fantastic video!

wow! Great! Thank you so Much for this ! I just found your channel and have been looking for these Ketch vs Sloop vids as I am with desires of purchasing a sailing vessel and entering the cruiser lifestyle. Alas, I am totally no experience yet, your vid here has introduced me to Sail Libra and the avenue of joining a cruise for learning. I am much enthusiastic from learning of this... Thank you so so much.... I am from Alabama as well.

also your discussions are very very enlightening

Great conversation.

Can’t wait to see you guys on the water. Love the video

Great sharing of man overboard I think everyone coming aboard my boat should hear at least that part of this great YT video !

Loved the conversation, one I would listen to again. Sail Libre ads, never seen one 😆 getting it out there, hearing him talk about the 50 year old boat 'talking' gets more interesting than the ads. My only overboard situation was my favorite hat blew off, rounded twice touched it once, it sank rip. People don't get how hard getting back on is going to be. My boat is particularly unfriendly to boarding from the water, work to do on that.

Kinda wish you had talked a little more on ketches and sloops, tbh.

Great discussion! We saw Libra this season when we popped over to St Thomas for a week from SXM. Such a pretty design.

The C57 weighs 19 tones, not 30 or 25 as you mentioned! It says so in the brochure that you can find on the Bavaria website.

Hi James, yes, you should write a book, I would buy it

I grew up in Niantic CT those waters are my old stomping grounds I miss living there and my mother is still in the same house on the water in pine grove Niantic.

At what time starts the Ketch vs sloop discussion ? Or is it so short I missed it ?

I met John kretschmer is Solomons Maryland he invited me aboard while I was living on my oday 28 and he is my hero invited me over for beers great guy

Always have a power winch on the back of the boat to hoist a body, especially when small statute crew.

I thought you were crossing the Atlantic on a delivery James?

Naaa think Im hopping of this channel. Was great 5 years ago, where everybody thought they should live from this. no more thank you.

We love ryan although i never met him but i have seen most of the videos hes been in

A Lee-Shore is Lee of the vessel not the island. That is the wind is blowing toward the land.

James ditch the black nail polish, not a good look on you. Love Bermuda, great place!

11K views and only 720 likes for all that great content? Wuut? Smash that like button peeps!! Great stuff, James and Ryan!

If you two wrote books, you both would be wildly successful.

If I showed up in USVI with 7k could I be crew sailing…my dream

Hello Captain Ryan!!

show libra love to see her :)

I went to the bar in Newport...maybe Green something??..and got a delivery to Annapolis then another from there to Miami

Brilliant podcast!! Great insight to sailing life. Love the idea of banning shit people. Might write something like that up for work…… well done on a great episode.

You create drive of your forsails to create push to your main that push towards your mizzen it looks like with all your experience you don't know sail trim and maybe sail shape maybe you should know if you own a ketch you think dousing your main is going to help your wrong more sail = more power how about 14 every 7

"Splicing Modern Ropes - a practical handbook" Jan-William Polman, page 35, splicing 8-strand. not fun.

Show us your mahi teaser

why do u use studio microphones outside on a sailing boat ?? ;)

Lol 😆 that guy talks lol it was hard for James to get a word in edgewise

the underwater volcano is probably an alien ufo that doesn't want to be disturbed, so they put out that warning :-) i would love to sail with either one of you guys or at least meet you. maybe one day :-)

Sloop for single handed and ketch for a couple or if you have crew.

Hello James What if we have a boat that's a bit sketch, would that be considered the best of both worlds a ketch and a sloop ?

Maybe change the title James. I felt like the guy with the blue glasses and the beard felt.

Hahaha... I heard you ask the question: "Do you often have sex?" -- and I go "Eh?".. only to realize you actually asked "Do you often have six (passengers)" :-) :-)

Enjoyed that, lol

that was good. get together with plucky and collin again. this guy's cool, I'll look up your last one.

We used a manikin called Oscar in the Navy and we had to rescue Oscar. People don’t realize how hard it is.

Two people 6 hour watch two watch's why if you are teaching people how to sail or even being on a boat would you give them so much time off ?

John Kretschmer? Ok, I’m listening

Awesome chat.

Even the heavier pressure from outside and inside, the inner videos yet unreleased about Noraly Rebecca Shoenmaker, Kimmie Jensen Zingaro need to be released to the public who have right to know them the objective true reasons.

Smiths Cove is where our house is.

I used to love watching you, sailing a shark-faced catamaran with a lovely girl who loved sailing, don't get me wrong, I like your other half now that's not the point. You are not the really nice guy I started watching. I will continue watching but only half-heartedly; enjoy your sailing.

Speaking to the methane theory. Somebody is advocating dispersing iron filings into the ocean to trap CO2 and sink it to the bottom. I'm thinking the same bubble effect only this would be one huge bubble that would kill anybody near it and just releases all that CO2 back into the atmosphere.

I own both types ., there is no major difference between the riggings. That sail the same. Also lots of misunderstanding about the sketch rig and jawl rig. There must be no line between the masts te be a Jawl rig. Unfortunate nobody used that word anymore.

Nice click bait guys...1 hr and 30 min of bullshit...10 minutes of SLOOP V KETCH..your not getting many new subs that way

Neither. The correct answer is Cutter for short-handed offshore work.

And yes.. write a book.

My Father actually cleaned Aircraft to get money for his pilots license. After soloing He joined the US Air Force and he flew combat in Korean War in P-51 Mustangs- walking the docks and cleaning boats- brought me back to Dad

A cutter rigged, anything

Best statement was “I would throw someone off the boat”

Yada, Yada, Yada.....where in the hell is ANA!!!???

For the 2nd time now I watched the WHOLE 1.5 hour podcast. Big fan of you both. You might make a real cruiser out of this costal power buster yet.
