This is 2nd leg of Ran-day's journey south, heading from Manchester-by-the-Sea towards the Cape Cod Canal and ending in Westport, Massachusetts. A big issue with this trip is about timing the tides in the Cape Cod Canal correctly. We have an early 2:30AM morning start to get to our target on time to avoid currents that would really hamper the trip.

Red Right Return will land you on the rocks in 90% of the world

@YachtHunters Год назад

Great point!! It’s “Red, Left, Return” in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, parts of Africa. Much appreciated! “Red, Right..” is for North America, South America, Philippines, Japan and Korea

Naturally, you wont likely forget what continent your on.@@YachtHunters

@davecoleman6855 Год назад

Well done Randay - your chart comments are fantastic. The joy of watching the sunrise under sail is something to behold. Well done and smooth sailing into the future!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Many thanks, Dave!

@1991pony Год назад

Wow, Randy, what a great episode. I especially liked the short tutorial regarding how to read charts. Very cool.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Glad you liked it! thanks Bill

@paulbuttner6808 Год назад

Randy, your boat is looking very nice going thru the water and handling the larger waves. Thanks for all the information and interesting narration. The sun rises are truly a beautiful to witness while cruising in the ocean. Along with the whales being active and giving a great show. Great video, keep them coming I really enjoy them.

@mr.e7022 Год назад

wing on wing on a cloudless night sailing from Marco Island to Fort Jefferson. Someone dipped a paint roller in a bucket of stars and painted the night sky. Still vivid after 30 years.

@YachtHunters Год назад

LOVE IT!! cheers!

@valerieb.4912 Год назад

Ran-day, I really like how you teach us old sailors by revisiting simple things we tend to forget and new update ways on pdf charts. That was extremely informative. Being old school, paper charts is a must have. Saying that, I do like the idea of electronic charts. One more thing, I like how you explain to us in simple terms. Thank you for sharing. Happy Sailing.

@weiniesail Год назад

Never new about MRASS before. We have something similar in aviation to turn on runway lights for non-towered airports. Click 3 times for low intensity, 5 times for med, and 7 for high.

@Chris-hq7nl Год назад

I’ve heard time and again that pilots make natural sailors and vice versa! There are so many similarities!

@YachtHunters Год назад

cool to know... that ones new to me. and yes.. lots of overlap with aviation community - they make outstanding captains

@jpkatz1435 Год назад

Ran-Day; SUPERB VIDEO. Absolutely flawless. Your naration is STELLAR in content, auditory timber, tone and pacing. The visuals are beautifully merged with the naration and music.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Wow, thank you, JP!! You’re too kind. Cheers

@cjg6364 Год назад

This was a perfect example of the flexibility ketch rigs offer. Running a mizzen and roller furling head sail gives you the ability to quickly and easily fine tune the boat's speed and balance in blustery conditions. Captain Q has rightly pointed out the significance and benefit of this design - something that is not typically appreciated by people who only have sloop experience. Experienced sailors understand the importance/value of a design that makes shorthanded sail adjustments quick, easy, and effective. In the real world, wind direction and intensity is constantly changing. Being able to adapt quickly with precision and with minimal effort is of paramount importance to the short handed sailor. Randy's boat is designed well with that in mind.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Agreed.. especially considering the in-mast furling which can be a little tricky and slower than just dropping it or putting in a reef… thanks CJ

@myloopooping Год назад

I am as ordinary a man as you will find. You sir, along with Q-Dizzle have inspired me to no end. I can’t wait to learn how to sail! Thank you for your time and willingness to share

@YachtHunters Год назад

Love to hear that… stoke that dream!! 👍👍

@wardmacintyre1797 Год назад

After all the amazing, interesting and entertaining episodes about boats it’s nice to see you out sailing one. Thanks for sharing!

@YachtHunters Год назад

That’s very kind of you. Thanks so much

@tomcraddock244 Год назад

Great sail !! She’s a fine boat!! good you finally have her home.enjoy!! Fair Winds ⛵️

@YachtHunters Год назад

Thanks so much, TC 👍

@dennisraible4177 Год назад

Ran-day, I am so happy for you. I love watching you and the Q’s adventures. The chances of me owning a boat and joining you out there in the blue are slim to none so I’ll live that dream through you guys. Thanks for doing what you do.

@YachtHunters Год назад

thanks Dennis! Iet's go with the slim end of the possiblity spectrum! - keep the dream alive (if that is your dream!) cheers to you!!

@lawrencepavesejr.9754 Год назад

Nothing like the open water at night when the stars meet the horizon. No better place to be. Great job on the video. I noticed the "Q" took up his favorite spot. Keep up the good work Rand-day.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Love it out there under the stars.. life is simple 👍

@treywest268 Год назад

Great video, great narration, and a wonderful Jazz playing for the soundtrack!!! Thank you for allowing us to sail along with you Ran-Day!!!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Many thanks! Much appreciated

@robertnorkus5582 Год назад

You are blessed to have experienced people to help you along

@YachtHunters Год назад

agreed!

@jamesford8315 Год назад

Walter Schultz is spot on. Been there done that... then life got in the way. Brings back lots of cherished memories. Thanks.

@TheDecguy Год назад

I’m glad that you’re getting the opportunity to begin this phase of sailing and ownership. It can be magical.

@YachtHunters Год назад

I agree… I think after the first few months of nervous energy, I’ve settle more into the fun zone. Thanks martin

@davidhartt2843 Год назад

Love the Ran-Day segments. Please keep them coming. Nice to see the Captain getting the rest him deserves!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Thanks very much, David!!

@Carlos_Verhaak80 10 месяцев назад

I grew up in RI and your videos bring me so many good memories! Besides, I love clasic sailboats (own one myself) and love your beautiful one. Thanks for your soothing videos!

@thereissomecoolstuff Год назад

Very well done. Seeing the sunrise at sea is miraculous. You expressed the feelings many of us have experienced very well..

@kirkrobbins9090 Год назад

Outstanding Randay!! You present so much information along with the romantics that keep us working on our "dream boats."

@YachtHunters Год назад

boat yards are friendly places because we all share the same romantic view of the ocean & sailing... and are willing to put in the work to keep it safe. cheers, Kirk!

@Joe_Not_A_Fed Год назад

Good to see you sailing your boat. That was a beautiful trip. Keep on sailing.

@dennisfromoz6436 Год назад

Oh Wow ! I keep dreaming and wishing and regret my aging and what should have been..But thanks to U-Tubers as yourself, keeps my dreams refreshed...Thanks young fella.👍

@YachtHunters Год назад

Keep it alive, Dennis!!! 👍

@christopherkohel8555 Год назад

Loved watching your boat moving thru the water under sail! I experienced 10 consecutive sunrises and sunsets under sail last month while just two of us bareboat chartered a 41’ sloop from Grenada to Antigua and back to Grenada nonstop for 665 nm!(I will never afford my own boat so yes, I’m a “credit card captain” and damn proud of my sailing accomplishments thus far!) Sailing is truly living! Love watching you and Captain Q! Plz don’t stop!

@YachtHunters Год назад

fantastic!! I sailed into Antigua from Guadeloupe a few years ago... wonderful memories of flying fish and conch fritters ... you might be ahead of the game with your credit card approach... ownership takes commitment! cheers CK

@herberthahn6964 Год назад

Sunrise and sunset are always lovely everywhere, but best at sea.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Agreed!

@SailingSweetMadness Год назад

Great info!! Thanks for sharing!!

@todddunn945 Год назад

Finally boat shopping after over 20 years of dreaming, can't wait for that first proper sail

@YachtHunters Год назад

Yessss… love to hear that

@MrBrody1961 8 месяцев назад

@jameshasenfus3412 Год назад

I don't even leave the harbor until there's an ALL Craft advisory😂. Love watching your adventures!

@YachtHunters Год назад

😂 we’ll be your crew anytime!!

@musicguy866 Год назад

Hi Randy , enjoyed your video. Your a great narrator and spokes person that brings out the wonderful joys of sailing!! God Bless you, and all your voyages going forward!!!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Thank you kindly MG!! Appreciate that

@didriketholm6852 Год назад

you sailed right past me. Hello from Marblehead!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Cheers! One of the other great New England towns!

@raysville7256 Год назад

Wonderful segment, great to see your craft under sail.

@nodogrunner Год назад

Still inspiring people to get out on the water. I like that you are not painting a perfect picture. Sailing is a lot of emotions and not just happiness and fear. God bless.

@YachtHunters Год назад

That’s right… there’s a lot more going on and I like the range of puzzles and triumphs .. this inspiration from Teddy Roosevelt comes to mind “….The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

@lindalawson4296 Год назад

Just lovely ❤

@Clover12346 Год назад

Good for you best wishes to you and the captan

@cousinjack2841 Год назад

Nice video. I'm an old diesel mechanic and in my opinion, those old Fords are great, low tech, which I think is a huge positive, and very reliable if you look after them. Another plus is that you can get spares for them just about anywhere you go. The boat's looking great; thanks for the upload Randy.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Great point… I like the low tech too from a learning standpoint!! Cheers

@Oscar_Dakota Год назад

Exquisite comments, images, and music. Well done. Enjoy that gorgeous boat!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Thanks, Glen!! Cheers

@olivierpaugois3457 Год назад

Awesome Randay 🙌🙌 I spent a lot of time underwater being one of the few freedivers spearfishers in New England. I always wanted to sail. Maybe it’s finally time. Thanks for the inspiration.

@philipgriffin6000 Год назад

I have sailed out of Westport Harbor for years; it is a fantastic place. I really enjoy your presentations and tips on navigation.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Isn’t it lovely there? Any other area spots that you enjoy? Thanks!

@johnnylightning1491 Год назад

Randall, it looks like the voyage went well. Good luck on the future sailing. Maybe some day I can get to see you boat in person, it sure is pretty.

I’m so jealous…and yet I appreciate you sharing this with us.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Keep the dream alive… if I can do it, so can you!!

@danielboughton3624 Год назад

Nice trip! What I remember Walter saying was "sail the damn boat" followed by a look at the packing and then "Fix the hole, sail the damn boat"

@YachtHunters Год назад

He did… his #1 tip is DONT WAIT… sail first and keep it safe. Cheers

@jenrdemldeml8328 Год назад

Great episode Randy. I’m not familiar with the east coast seas. It was very nice to hear about. I plan to sail the Adriatic this summer and your tidal planning info is awesome. Thank you.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Ohhh I envy that. I took a dip in the Adriatic next to a marina in 2019… id love to get my boat there and cruise the coast! Enjoy and keep us posted

@trailsandsails2722 Год назад

Well done,! Great photography and loved the detail on route planning.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Thanks a lot!

@hoosierpete Год назад

Looks like she handled the ocean swell just fine, I think you're going to be all right with the old girl, she's a real beauty.

@YachtHunters Год назад

She did great even in the bigger stuff.. cockpit was quite dry even… good signs for a fun future. Cheers Tony!!

@leevandyke8524 Год назад

Congrats on your trip. I had a 40 ft Beneteau, I am lake Michigan, which was my summer cottage for 20 some odd years. It was perfect.

@YachtHunters Год назад

It’s a great cottage.. and it even moves occasionally! Gotta love sailboats 🥰 cheers to yours!!

@para1324 Год назад

I am pleased you had a very enjoyable passage. As you described a sensible location for access to your boat. Your videography of the trip was very good. I remember paper charts. Our chart drawer on the bridge was stuffed full for the east coast. I think then the cost was ten maybe fifteen dollars per chart. 👍🏝⛵️Captain Q and friend appeared to really enjoy the trip. Best regards from Georgia.

@YachtHunters Год назад

thanks very much, Para! I wanted to fly the drone to really capture it but having just lost one to a shroud, I didn't have the necessary guts to launch while underway... hopefully soon though!

@grnpnzer Год назад

Really well done video!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Thank you very much!

@11thhourcustom Год назад

Beautiful Job! I really enjoyed this!

@YachtHunters Год назад

@time4transformation806 10 месяцев назад

You are so very lucky! Ihave a small 23' and really hope I can get a nicebigger ocean going boatbut to have such experienced friends along is an amazing thing!! Thanks for that tip about getting the PDFs of the NOAA charts!

@YachtHunters 9 месяцев назад

great to hear! lots of people have crossed oceans on 20-something footers... they can be more manageable and simpler to keep on top of... so appreciate the simplicity while you have it :) cheers!

@bos6782 Год назад

I group up going to Horseneck beach in Westport. I now live in Colorado. I miss that area. Great video, keep the content coming.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Great beach... warm waters, fun surf... hope you get to go back once in awhile. cheers!

@0PsychosisMedia0 Год назад

Great video. Both technical for the experienced sailor and simple in crucial areas for the absolute green horn. Keep this up! Good stuff!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Thank you very much!

@tfmac2011 Год назад

Really enjoyed this video! Yes there are magical movements. One for me was on a crossing from Antigua to the Med, in the middle of the ocean in the middle of the night, being overtaken to starboard by the Americas Cup J Class Endeavour. Sails were lite. I looked on the AIS and sure enough it was her. And for some time watched as she slipped away into the night.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Wow!! What are the odds on that one! I have seen and drooled at Endeavor… what a sight that must have been!! Thanks for the sharing

@davejob630 Год назад

Nice Boat Ran Day!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Thanks!

@hmg7871 Год назад

Excellent plotting review, especially so for ebb and flood considerations. Applicable wherever your lat/lons may be. Well done Randaay :-).

@YachtHunters Год назад

Thanks HMG!

@bloodyeyeful Год назад

Once again, great advice Randay. I downloaded Chart #1 and I don't even have a boat yet. I will study it and learn chart reading. MR.ASS as well. Looks like she treated you well on the voyage. Thank you and Blessings to all.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Great to hear! Hopefully, you’ll find it fun and interesting

@richhillbass Год назад

Great video RandAY!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks rich!

@SeaYaSailing Год назад

Randy...as a new boat owner myself, I can say I agree with everything you say. I struggle fixing things, and doing boat yoga, but it nothing to the sight of a sunset/sunrise/moon rise/milky way in the sky while out at sail. I am daily thankful that I can experience this, I am just mad at myself for not doing this 30-40 years ago.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Love to hear that!! The rewards are great and so is the learning!!

@hoboken5224 Год назад

Randy thanks for taking us along and sharing your knowledge. Those sleeping layabouts need to be addressed.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Insubordinates!! 😂

@robertrioux7409 Год назад

I really enjoy your videos!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Great to hear. Thanks!!

@montanadan2524 Год назад

Nothing like owning a sailboat, great video captain.

@YachtHunters Год назад

thanks so much MD!

@neilmartin2916 Год назад

glad thiswent well. one thing to be very careful with. going thru the canal with the southwest breeze from tge buzzard can result in significant seas

@YachtHunters Год назад

Yeah we would be coming out with that on the nose… thankfully it cooperated that day… I did have some good and accurate wind forecasts (minus the small craft advisory which wasn’t issued until 4am or so)

@toddsumner3216 Год назад

Randay you and the good Capt next winter could do a chart an trip planning series you did a great job

@peetky8645 Год назад

nice episode.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Thanks!! Much appreciated

@williamparrish673 Год назад

Again I say, this is what RU-vid is for. Excellent Randy your very good at learning is.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Wow, thanks! You’re very kind, William!

@wolfgangszankowski5910 Год назад

Please do schooner Atlantic when possible. I think you and the boat fit perfectly. Its my favorite boat, and you are myfavorite 'salesmen'

@patrickjames1080 Год назад

Magic out there…

@rickstevens1479 Год назад

Really enjoyed all the information and tech ...navigation maybe some people's fear , you made it seem a little less intense...😎

@butzbach1 Год назад

My next dog will have to be named RanDAAAAY….I love it. I just love it. You guys put a smile on my face no matter what. I just don’t know what boat to get before I’m dead. I have lake craft already but need an IWC it is also blue water. Probably have to get a Nordhavn. As my dad says, it’s just money. Yawl 😀 are great!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Hahaha… likely to be one helpful and friendly dog… nordhavns are lovely considering the lack of flappy parts.. there are some great trawlers and motor sailers too…

@harbourdogNL Год назад

3:36 Nigel Calders's book on charts is a must for anyone who actually wants to learn about charts and proper navigation. "How to Read a Nautical Chart". And anyone who doesn't keep paper charts on board is a fool. Because your GPS WILL go down, at some point.

@YachtHunters Год назад

will definitely check it out. thanks HD! Sea Dog sends regards

@Tillersweep Год назад

I was at Tripp's marina for a couple of years. I loved it and the beach. Lots of ticks, however.

@YachtHunters Год назад

I must have gotten lucky w ticks! Or maybe I’m not their cup of tea?

@Tillersweep Год назад

I should clarify. Tripp's is on the edge of a large area of pristine coastal dunes. The ticks are there. Take a walk sometime when your boat isn't taking on water.

@YachtHunters Год назад

😂 so in a few years?

@keithdavis8081 Год назад

I wanted to complement you on your choice of music for this entire series - very tasteful. 😊🎵

@YachtHunters Год назад

Glad you like it! thanks!

@basilbrushbooshieboosh5302 Год назад

Bought my first boat, part in thanks to your show. A Tophat 25'. She's a doer-up-erer. That first sail is on the way.

@jackwalby6257 Год назад

The canal trip reminds of my one and only East river trip, we hit 14knts SOG at one point on a Swan 46. I use on phone Memory Map as personal plotter as you can download NOAA charts at $10 for the year. I had most the east coast lots of Florida and the great lakes on my old phone. I prefer Memory Map as it is NOAA charts as opposed to the Navionics version.

@samuelthomas9758 Год назад

I took my grandfathers boat through the cannal before I was a little kid but I do remember how to current just ripped in that area it was like going down a river

@YachtHunters Год назад

It is… pretty dramatic scene at the mouth on the entry side… crazy steep waves

@drjzzz Год назад

Great video -- setting out at night, at the helm with the crew sleeping (stars!), sunrise, calculating the canal (I did not know there was a difference in the magnitude E-W!), sailing instead of motoring, triggered some fond memories! Buzzard's Bay can be.. a thrill, depending on the wind and waves. Walter Schultz gave you some great tips... did you do the work he recommended? Also, from a former ketch owner, your mizzen looks just a bit raked aft compared to your main, no? Otherwise looks wonderful.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Work is underway now… I heed Walter’s advice! I think you’re right about the Mizzen… the back stays are not great… another one for the to-do list.. cheers
