This video could change how you sail! Olympians, World Champions, Hall of Famers! We have got some VERY cool friends. When we met out at a deserted island years ago, little did we know that Annie Gardner and Eric Witte on the Catana 472, El Gato were such accomplished sailors. This week, we soak up words of wisdom and best practices to sail a performance cat safely and efficiently. We got a lot of water to cover. Also featured are a couple very accomplished sailors, Markus Moser and Shayne Young, which we will hear more from in a coming video. Als, we catch up with our good friend Pat Schulte of Bumfuzzle!
If you'd like to go sailing with the pros, contact Annie Gardner and Eric Witte of El Gato, Wind Goddess Retreats, and Trade Winds Adventures at annie@windgoddessretreats.com

This is jam packed with good advice. I'll probably never actually own a boat and sail, even though it's my dream, but I still watched for the entertainment value. High quality content and editing as always.

@TheOKellys Год назад

Thanks Clif. Now get on out there!

@edwardpardy7866 Год назад

Hey bud, I never thought I would be sailing around the world either, and inside 2 years I have a 28 foot that I'm taking lessons in, and am building a 45 foot offshore yacht in the front yard. NEVER SAY YOU WILL NOT LIVE YOUR DREAM!

@philipmayo8201 Год назад

@@edwardpardy7866 very cool Edward! I'm new to this sport but always wanted to own a sailboat. My only experience was on some small sunfish when I was in the Boy Scouts many years ago. I'm from PA so not really close to the ocean. How could I go about learning properly on a smaller boat (perhaps on someone else's boat) and then eventually buy a bigger boat for myself. I'm 53 now and a semi retired professional chef. I'm also not s rich guy so I can't just buy whatever and whenever. Also, how did you learn how to build your own sailboat? I'm pretty handy and don't mind getting my hands dirty especially on old cars, motorcycles and woodworking but I wouldn't know the first thing about tackling something this big and serious. Thanks in advance for any guidance Edward and again, congratulations on your project! I'd love to see it up close.

@edwardpardy7866 Год назад

@@philipmayo8201 First off I started following sailing channels by chance on youtube and fell in love with the love and care cruisers put into their boats. I then found a small fixer up for cheap online, that I knew I could tackle and was within my skill level, and that I could haul myself. I supplemented my knowledge with Total Boat here on youtube and a little over a year later towed my project to the nearest boat club(inland lake) where I recieved more help setting up rigging. The sailing community is like no other in helping teach newbies like myself. The actual boatbuilding on the big boat is a slower process, learn as I go and talk to as many people as I can, and research online, along with actual plans from a company. There are lots of solid older boats out there that simply need elbow grease and a small investment. I bought the 28 foot for 4,500 dollars and put about 2 grand in slowly as I went. I could have done it cheaper but I wanted to be detail orientated and do it right. I had an older sailer ask me if I had bought the boat new, and no its over 40 years old. So find the boat size and project size that works for you. The O'Kellys have numerous great videos on choosing boat styles, budgets ect. The large boat I have is the big project that is larger budget( about 300 grand) and pretty intimidating, but again just taking it in steps. Hope this helps bud! Oh and if you find a sailing school, they usually supply the boat for lessons btw.

Damn, I would LOVE to sail my Etchells with Annie and Eric - or anything with a rudder and sails. I could learn SO much and they are SO comfortable on a boat. People like that are so much fun to sail with.

@shaneriehl223 Год назад

I love that little bit of advice at the end about communication. Especially about telling each other where you’re going to be or what you’re doing. We’ve had the same little moments of fear, coming up on watch and not knowing where the other person is, or just plain waking up to check to make sure they’re still there, even when you’re off watch.

His wealth of knowledge and experience is second to none and a very cool bloke - it seems. You guys are keeping us well entertained even though you haven't yet found your own boat, that's an art.

@captainpaddy1524 Год назад

Great video. Clearly, they know what they are doing and I appreciate learning from people with such expertise. The stability issue with a light weight catamaran in wind is crucial; especially with the really light boats like the Mumby and the Lerouge. A comment about Catana: They are most certainly one of the premier high tech boat builders. Few other builders match their hull design and construction especially. Early on, I was very attracted to their new "Ocean Class" catamaran. I have sailed Catanas, Outremers and Balances. All are good but they are aimed at a slightly more sedate market than the Dazcats and Marsaudons. Almost bought a Dazcat but it was more boat than I am a sailor. Mumby and Lerouge are aimed at the purists who are willing to forego some comfort. Keep up the good work.

Hey guys, this may just be the best episode I've seen! Great information, well conveyed, and it looked like you were all having a great time! I would liked to have seen more info on exactly what determines whether your "get out" will be rounding up or bearing away. Personally, on our cat, we favour bearing away to reduce apparent wind, but it can be a scary prospect as the boat speed climbs into the high teens, and keeping an eye on TRUE wind direction becomes really important as you sail deeper. So did any of these guys give more info of how they decide on whether they're going to come up or bear away? I'd love to hear their take on it. Looking forward to seeing what you end up sailing next.

@robertlaird6746 Год назад

Great tips. I know a few of the people that were mentioned as I'm a former Tornado and Nacra 6.0 racer. The one and only race I did when I had my Tornado was in San Diego and I won. It was an Olympic qualifying regatta with about 100 boats on the starting line. My crew and I got four 1st and one 2nd. I was 17 or 18 years old back in the late 80's. We beat Randy Smyth who I purchased my sails from. Maybe one of you will remember that. If so than let me know. I don't remember what the guys name was that was my crew but he was really good.
