Ben always turn engine off first before you turn off ignition also put tape round lines before cutting line reduces the fraying cut in the middle of the tape 👍😉

@phillippurdy5893 Год назад

What a great vid! Editing, music, SAILING, fruits of your labor, a beautiful family, your health care, and a big boat that floats! Hope to see you guys sailing during the 1000 Year Reign!

@colehankins Год назад

If it was me, Id kill the motor first then turn the key off. The electricity doesnt have anywhere to go with the key off and the alt still spinning. Its a good way to break your diodes. Good Luck

@PepeDeezNutz Год назад

Whatever dude

@MikeScott41614 Год назад

Its Awesome to see you three back out on the water!

@iainlyall6475 Год назад

Aw, guys I'm so stinkin' happy for you. So much work and great attitude and now your little family is breaking speed records 😆

@proudtexan5513 Год назад

Excellent Sailing Job for first timers!, very peaceful !,

@Pixxelshim Год назад

@russgaulke1364 Год назад

Now it's really a "sailboat story"!

@keithrudge Год назад

Well done! All of your combined hard work, sweat and tears are all paying off now. What a great reward for your family…

@bhaz1987 Год назад

Lots of good work You've managed it well It's twisting and lifting in the same motion that will get you Try to not rotate ... You have a great family

@dennisvertrees4001 Год назад

Ben you have truly got it made! Beautiful family Beautiful boat living the dream. You and the Ladies put in a year or more of hard work time to enjoy yourselves and relax. Thanks for letting us tag along.

@christophermcdonald8211 Год назад

Congratulations to all of you

@ronjohnson9690 Год назад

A beautiful day you had, May the night be exquisite.

@ronaldwhayesjr Год назад

By the way guys I just want to tell you I've been watching pretty much since day one and I must say at this point I feel almost a member of the family. LOL and one of the biggest differences that's noticeable is how your daughter has grown into a mature young lady over the years. What a delightful well-mannered child she is. She's going to have just the past experiences in life growing up and I support both of you in your adventures with her. I find your videos so refreshing that you don't put on airs and try to pass only beautiful light over all aspects of voting. Keep this Venture going and I'll be there for every their release. All the best

@pearl-pf6xz Год назад

Yep, I was like a Cheshire cat when you hit the briny, well-done, you family of doers.

@phillipobrien7365 Год назад

Well done ! Makes all the hard work worth while.

@jamescarid3448 Год назад

6.5 ! put the speed brakes on. Great progress guys, cheers.

@MrA1582000 Год назад

You folks did an awesome job….now reap the rewards of your labor.

@SailingWithVampires Год назад

This video is incredible! It's really nice to see how much work you've all put into your boat! And I wanted to really thank you for following my stuff too! ⛵🦇

@leslieowen5555 Год назад

Looks like Beth and Jim next to you at the marina. Your going out and they are going ashore. 😄

@Sailboatstory Год назад

Yes it was. We really liked those guys.

@LoanwordEggcorn Год назад

Congrats!!! The boat looks great! The holes in the sail with metal reinforcing rings are called a kringle, but most people refer to the holes by their function, so call them reefing points. Looks like the white line goes to the first reef and the red line to he second reef.

@JSatterfield71 Год назад

I know it was a lot of work but what a great job! I was right there with ya when you put the sails up! Love all the videos !!! Good on ya !!!

@TangoDelta25 Год назад

Congratulations on your first sailing trip as a family of three! It must have been so exciting to finally take your boat out after working on it for over a year. May this be just the beginning of many fun and memorable adventures on the water. Wishing you fair winds and following seas!

@markmahan6768 Год назад

Love it, love it, love it!

@leslieowen5555 Год назад

Congratulations on escaping the life on the hard.

@billmead5052 Год назад

Awesome! Looking forward to your next adventures

@everwind5691 Год назад

Congrats on the first sail. I would reconsider the genoa track as I often use it to depower the sail in heavy winds by moving it aft and flattening the sail. Having a true block will also reduce friction and wear on your jib lines.

@ronaldwhayesjr Год назад

What a perfect pet to have on a sailboat. If any rats should climb aboard in foreign ports Capt Skippy can put them to work scrubbing the decks

@blackdogsailing12 Год назад

Hey Guys! Black Dog Sailing here. So happy to see you off the hard and sailing! It was great to see you on the move down in Florida! So glad I happened to look up at the right time and see you go by. Wish we could have met up, but traveling opposite directions makes that hard! After 19 days on the ICW from Key West I am in VA. Pulled into my slip today. It's cold here. Wish I was still there! Enjoyed talking to you, can't wait to see where you end up! Fair winds!!

@sailingrumrunner Год назад

Congratulations mates. Great feeling when you finally put all that hard work to practice and your moving with what nature provided you. Fair winds.

@ceremonialguardsman Год назад

You've accomplished something incredible here. Fantastic job Clardy family! Y'all should be very proud.

@CC-kt2hm Год назад

Lift nothing for a long time😎🏴‍☠️⛵️

@carlstevenson4232 Год назад

Linda here…been following you since the very beginning, of course. So glad to see you all back on the water after your land excursions and one heck of a year fixing this awesome boat. Can’t believe it’s been almost 6 years since we “bumped” into you guys at Eleuthera! Enjoy! You’ve earned it!

@johnlowery7684 Год назад

Congratulations on your first sail

@danieloliver20 Год назад

Very happy for you crew of three... plus the critter! 🌬⛵️

@robertrioux7409 Год назад

Awesome culmination of your hard work!!

@svglorious Год назад

Great job! Boat looks fantastic! The teakless caprail turned out beautifully… ( A job you only want to do once!) Aren’t W42’s bowsprit platform and pulpit the best?! Question: Are your reefing winches Barient 8 or 10?

@JamesNewsomeCaiLeighAnna Год назад

Congratulations on casting off for the first time. Looking forward to your adventures ahead.

@krisbouchard6146 Год назад

And your off on a great adventure !!! Enjoy every minute ! Thanks for sharing !

@SirCharles12357 Год назад

Congratulations! A lot of firsts achieved by a worthy Captain and Crew!

@smilerpie1 Год назад

Well done Pals

@meoneiII Год назад

YAY! Thank you, loved your first sail!

@harrycash8713 Год назад

You have been one busy Little Beaver, now that the ocean rodent has splashed take a breather.

@seanmorris Год назад

Great to see you three (4?) back on the water again. Well done, wishing you smooth sailing

@Scalihoo Год назад

My back hurts sometimes @ 60 years old all the hard work & play has caught up with me , one thing I do is have a brisk walk once or twice a day about 2 miles , it aligns things & makes my legs sore so my mind is off my back :) but it helps..

@bubbagail7450 Год назад

Pretty cool watching you leave the dock. Then listening to the pride and happiness in your voice with sails up and setting speed records, :) was pretty cool. Well done guys. Best of luck, fun and happiness on your new boat.

@stephendougherty8156 Год назад

You guys are awesome!

@jameswesthart5873 Год назад

Super cool! Congratulations!

@jamesbillington5058 Год назад

Another great video. I really liked how you did fade from black and white to color at the beginning. I just started following you and the family about a year ago. Thus, I am also catching up on your earlier videos. I just finished the one where you are in Hope Town and climbed the lighthouse. Way to overcome your fear of heights (or at least face it). Just a side note, once at top of the lighthouse, you can go through that small hatch to the outer walkway to do a 360-degree walk around. I'm sure you will do this next time 😁

@christophermcdonald8211 Год назад

Gotta love a westsail under sail , westsail under sail , 😁 there;s a song there

@stanhigh Год назад

@jasongrinnell1986 Год назад

How awesome is that? A beautiful first sail after a lot of hard work.

@PhilDesmond Год назад

Congratulations on a job well done! Hard work from all of you led to this beautiful boat finding a new life w a cool and happy family. Enjoy yourselves, fair winds and following seas!

@dalegray4140 Год назад

So awesome, glad you made it out. Thanks for bringing us along! 🎉

@radams009 Год назад

@nintendo_pilot Год назад

Loved the 🐚 at the end! Congratulations!! Is that the Buckman bridge you anchored at during Tacos?

@davidkilgore9212 Год назад

Congrats, I’m jealous😂

@richardkelleher1711 Год назад

Sailing again, so nice to see this. Have some great adventures.

@richardhobbs7107 Год назад

I Enjoy your videos . . . & enjoy tacos for dinner . . . . take care, rh

@mariehart4294 Год назад

Great video - good luck on your sailing adventure!

@barbarianlife Год назад

I approve of your vitamins. I hope your back mends quickly. On another note, perhaps sort out the ends of those lines. It is good to lash both ends before cutting. At least burn them.

@svglorious Год назад

P.s. the Costco glucosamine and chondroitin really helps my back and and aches and pains significantly… Been taking it for years 👍👍👍

@TPLeary Год назад

Great job on your first sail, congratulations. I would move your reef lines' bitter ends on the boom so they are slightly aft the cringle so when you set your reef you can get proper tension along the foot of the reef. Safe sailing and enjoy.

@Sailboatstory Год назад

The blocks are well aft of the kringle so there is the appropriate rearward pull for reefing.

@jw3dd Год назад

Very nicely done - Congratulations !!!

@johnwishart7950 Год назад

well done its deffinetly coming together

@Garryck-1 Год назад

And the adventure begins! Congratulations, Sea Rats!

@bmorrison0070 Год назад

Wonderful to see you all back on the water!!

@MicBruise Год назад

Your genoa sheeting solution is sometimes called a "barber hauler".

@Sailboatstory Год назад

Correct.

@MicBruise Год назад

@@Sailboatstory I have never understood WHY it's called that, though! I'm sure there is a good story behind the name.

@Sailboatstory Год назад

I believe that’s the guys name who made it popular.

@jimcook1665 Год назад

Such fun to see you finally get out there! I've been watching since you bought the boat. It's been a great journey! Love your family so much!

@bryanhughes8373 Год назад

Hi Guys, great to see you back on the water again, all systems looking good, enjoy and take care 👍 looking forward to the next episode 👍😊👏⛵️⚓️

@kb1esx Год назад

Congratulations for casting off!!!

@TheSassail Год назад

Awesome job!!! I pulled out of that same slip on our first sail with our boat. Your in my home waters. Julington Creek. Some great day sailing there! Enjoy!!!🍺😎

@MrA1582000 Год назад

Think with the visible bruising without any specific trauma, maybe check with your doctor for some blood work. From a retired medical person.

@Sailboatstory Год назад

Thanks. Visible bruising is common in weight lifters. My injury seemed to be along the same lines from heavy overuse of specific muscles.

@allynonderdonk7577 Год назад

I take a lot of those pills you are everyday. The bruising can be signs of Iron deficient anemia, but it mostly effects women but it can happen in men. Also it might mean your systolic blood pressure can be elevated under the stress of exertion, and you aren't getting enough blood to your muscles to keep them supplied with oxygen.

@jamescoccovillo9825 6 месяцев назад

Just watched hull to deck joint part 2. I was wondering was that teak that you pried off and discarded? Because some local hobbyist or carpenter would have loved it.

@Sailboatstory 6 месяцев назад

Sure was. Lots of it too.

@jamescoccovillo9825 6 месяцев назад

Really love your videos very down to earth and real, you show that a slow constant pace gets the job done with out making a mess, your mates are priceless and dedicated, beautiful family you guys are living a dream. God bless and fair winds

@tomd.3082 Год назад

When I left Green Cove Springs in 2021, my average SOG was 2.2 knots. Most relaxing day I ever had on my boat. Congrats on your first sail on the new boat!
