What is the name of the song that plays in the end?
tobigforyou 1 year ago
@tobigforyou That is a few seconds of "The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle" words and music by George Wyle and Sherwood Schwartz

I'm wondering why you never sail with the main up. Wouldn't you pick up a lot more speed with more sail area? Or is your boat too light to sail with both sails up?

It is mainly a matter of balance and getting the boat to self-steer without a windvane. Depending on conditions, our boat sails best with little main and lots of head sail. However, after day 30, we sailed the rest of the trip on the main alone out of necessity.

You two seem to have a nice relaxed time for yourself. I like the many daily practical you show.
Is it a selfconstructed windpilot?
Have a Vega myself and looked a bit at the expensive vindpilots, but i know there are some ways you can build one (not as good) cheap and simple.

It took some experimenting but we were able to get Lealea to steer herself by first balancing the sails and tiller so she had just a bit of weather helm, then lashing the tiller with a piece of surgical tubing to the windward side of the cockpit. She would stay on course until the wind changed, which was infrequent far from land.
