Wow John is a super down to earth man. Humble, kind and has the time of day to answer questions with patience even though he has answered them 1000 times. Thats what makes a legend. Great interview thankyou

@danieloliver20 4 года назад

I could listen to John and you all day long. Nothing like REAL experiences to back up opinions, thanks guys again!

@dboboc 2 года назад

John can listen to himself all day long too.

@lulabus5906 4 года назад

I love the way everything is explained so even a complete noob like myself can understand it. Great episode 2. 👍🏻

@jessglaze2182 4 года назад

Can I just say what a pleasure it was to watch this series. I could listen to ya'll talk and feed off the wealth of knowledge from John for hours. Excellent videos. Keep up the good content.

I have bad memories of sailing my dad 6m beach cat in the 70's. You can't round about in stiff wind, and you will capsize, pol watzit or break more than wind in difficult situations. Done it all. I have tried tri, which I love but they also are troublesome (maintenance, costs and generally breakdowns). I have had many monos, and I trust them; long keels and protected daggers. Rather wide and medium displacement. I do coastal navigation, but I always assume the worse possible situation. Never had a major yet! I love the depth of knowledge and clarity of expression. Well done.

@michelkooiman3835 4 года назад

This is really great. John is an amazing guy. I could learn so much from him.

@pkane5472 4 года назад

I can't add anything to what was already said about John and his incredible knowledge about sailing. Adam did a great job as well as the "moderator".

@tomfuhs6801 4 года назад

Awesome video. John is such a wealth of experience and knowledge and he has the rare ability to present it without sounding like an overbearing know-it-all.

@noraelkin2727 4 года назад

Two of the most informative videos I have watched! Thanks! And yes, please more!

@charlespickering2726 4 года назад

Makes perfect sense to feel the boat talking to you. Even in cars you drive them long enough you get a feel of what sounds like it should and when something doesn't and what that means and how to correct it.

@PaulBKal 4 года назад

Great wisdoms shared there. Thanks to both John & Adam. Lifelong Aussie sailor here, now in early 60’s, looking for THE boat to live aboard and sail the Pacific with my wife. Got close a couple of times, but still looking, and now have more clarity to my thinking as a consequence of this discussion.

@nonaparker564 4 года назад

Great interview Adam.What a lovely man John is.

@philandlyndachristieson8808 3 года назад

I didn't realize what I had learned from thousands of miles of hard sailing until listening to your excellent interview with John. He could have been describing Windora, and my own feelings. I've tried the cat thing too. You can't give that guy enough respect. ⛵🌍⛵🌏⛵🌎. Phil

@davefoster7770 4 года назад

Become one with your machine. Reef early. It's like advice for life. It applies to so many things and is good advice for many non sailing activities. Awesome vid. Thanks for your efforts. ;)

@goulash75 4 года назад

Might I say, possibly better than part one! Loved this two part interview. Thanks Adam and John. (And thanks Khiara for letting to boys carry on so long :)

Me too, could listen to him all day long, wonderful episode! By the way, you held your own during the conversation, I know I was impressed with you!

@larrybraden6640 4 года назад

Man I could listen to this conversation for hours. John is a really cool dude and very knowledgeable. I enjoyed this Adam. Thanks

@cliffmainor4255 4 года назад

And again... THANK YOU Adam and John for this part two. Well worth the wait. Like others have said, I could sit and listen to you two banter about for at least three or four coolers ;-). Brilliant!!!

@glassman51 4 года назад

Hey Adam and Kiara, love these interviews with John, so much to digest that I will certainly watch this a couple more times. Glad things are loosening up for you guys and looking forward to some real sailing in the future, cheers

@markturner4353 4 года назад

That was wonderful. I bought 'Cape Horn to Starboard' after the Part 1 interview and I'm looking forward to reading/ watching more from John. Thanks for posting this and keep up the good work.

@shaneriehl223 4 года назад

Loved this interview! It's so nice to hear from someone both knowledgable and humble to share a great perspective. Much preferred to the bickering knowledge that you find on the sailing forums out there!

@anynamey 3 года назад

That was fantastic! Watched both and would be happy to see twice as much!

@robertbeger4275 3 года назад

Have to totally agree with John regarding "hip holds" and "taking the heel out". Gee! I love these kinds of discussions.

@timm6112 3 года назад

Probably the most informative (in a real and practical way) video I have seen on sailing. Great talk. Thank you for this.

@sailingsvtesla9052 4 года назад

Adam, that was the most informative video, a guy like me who is in the market soon for his own "blue water sailboat" could have possibly watched. Thank you tremendously. John is a very down to earth guy. I will be reading/listening to his books and soaking up all the knowledge I possibly can for sure. Cheers Mate, RJ

@thomasbjor2332 3 года назад

I'm saving and saving. Love to watch things like this to keep me motivated😊 Thank you Falcon Crew and John K.

@scottwestfall3522 3 года назад

Brilliant piece, with John's segment then transitioning to the sit-down. Dual cameras draws the viewer in, like we are sitting there listening. Then of course, the batteries are all dead, the wine is out, the girls are come to collect their men. Real atmosphere to this segment, which presents a nice change of flavor to the the more production-like segments. Thanks for sharing this to all of us sailors and sailor-wannabes.

@RealMikePannone Год назад

Great conversation. Because of this discussion, I just bought two of John's books...Sailing a Serious Ocean and At the Mercy of the Sea. Keep up the great work. I'm grinding through your archive....and enjoying and learning as I watch you all work through bettering your boat. Also, very impressed with Kiara's baking skills and her willingness to get real dirty jobs done. Cheers.

@UUBrahman 3 года назад

John describing hulls from the 1970s-early 1990s that had wing keels, low freeboard, and bows that go up into the water with hulls that let it flow was wonderful. That explains what he loves about his Kaufman 47.

@nsw1959 4 года назад

Excellent excellent interview. While watching this, I had an old Navy friend message me that he was interested in a bluewater boat. I sent him this link. Great info for someone in the market and also for those who already have a boat. Cutters are great but I still love my Ketch rigged Pearson. You two rock. Hope you get to the US sometime.
