Sailing our Gemini 105Mc Catamaran Sailboat down the East River in New York City. We had to motor most of the journey due to winds on our nose. I am originally from New York City (77St. 1st Ave). Growing up in New York City, I never imagined sailing down the East River with my own yacht. I use to hang out at John Jay park as a kid (in fact my parents met there). As such some of the video dwells on that neighborhood. I hope you all enjoy this short video tour.

  • Very interesting, would've liked to hear the audio...

  • "passed" not "past" (in the trailer)

    I'm planning on doing that trip next season in a 20 foot aluminum. Any advice (besides mind my own business when it comes to correcting word usage).

  • Terrific video. I grew up in New York City and drove the FDR numerous times. I like your closeup of it. I never even heard of John Jay Park before, but I lived mainly in the Bronx.

    When I was about 11, I got a chance to cruise down the East River in an old-time motor yacht, about 100 ft. long. It was a thrill. My brother even got to take the wheel!

    I actually swam in the East River close to shore under the Whitestone Bridge. I can tell you the current is VERY strong.

  • Very interesting, I lived on Long Island most of my life and saw plenty of the Island and N.Y.C. buy seeing it from the waters view is quit interesting! Great video!
