You need to periodically soak all your lines in fresh soapy water (boat soap). Soaking removes the sea salt that builds up over time. Once the salt is removed, they behave much better. I do mine twice a year.

@@oliverhill84 Lines ( or ropes) on a boat are either called sheets, halyards, lines, down hauls or out hauls, painters and there are some others. The names refer to their function on the boat. Sheets pull the sails in and let them out while sailing. Halyards raise them and lower them. The "hauls" adjust the tightness of the fit of the sail on the spars (mast and boom).

The sheet (rope) is hockling (twisting) because the same length is passing repeatedly over the pulley wheels. The 'outside' needs to stretch slightly more than the 'inside' as it passes around the radius of the sheaves (pulley wheels), which causes uneven wear and twisting. Edit: The best solution is to periodically reverse the winding direction from clockwise to counterclockwise and cycle through the section of rope on the pulleys

I've seen them wrapped figure 8 to counteract this, rather than helical. Where the windings cross in the middle. Increased tangle potential but counteracts the twisting force. That was not on a sailboat though, it was on a heavy lifting rig.

Hey, I looked this up because its happened to me before when I was racing hobie cats and Im planning on going back to blue water soon to cruise. There still isnt any twist proof rope on the market. "Double braid should never be coiled in a loop. Each loop of the coiled line puts a 1/2 twist in the line. Instead it should be coiled in a figure'8'. That way when it is run out, there is no twist."

Hi Sam, it wont be long before you move on towards Greece. I'd highly recommend you 'do a lap' of Corfu. Aim for Paxos/Anti Paxos where you can anchor off the coast and see the blue caves. After that head up the east side where you will catch a good northerly, especially closer into the mainland Greece coastline. There are marinas all along the east coast line and plenty of nice moorings and anchorages if you dont want to pay. I'd recommend pulling in at Benitses. Right off the marina is Captain Jacko's - 84 countries and counting, he does the worlds best smoothy beyond anything you could ever dream of - its worth pulling in and risking losing your wind but you might get lucky. Corfu Old Town has some cheaper moorings and marinas and makes an interesting day off the boat, explring the old town streets, palisade and venetian forts (i know you like a good castle). From Old Town head north around the island. Paleokastritsa is a great little place to stop off at (about 50 miles from Old Town and doable in a days sailing), then onto Sidari and the famous 'Canal d Amour' - great for a swim. Coming back down the West coast the sea is pretty wild and the winds can be all over the place (I think I stayed too close to land) - if I had had the time I would have carried on north up the Croatian coastline and eventually made for Venice. Good luck, fair winds brother.

Pull the spinnaker clew out to the end of the pole when you hoist - that will help the sail fill. The spinnaker can't wrap around the forestay with the headsail out, so at most only have it partially unrolled when you hoist and drop - ideally fully out if conditions allow. For the drop, it will help collapse the spinnaker behind the main and headsail.

@@tyrotrainer765 Yes, for class B vessels, AIS is wholly dependent upon VHF, which then depends on how high your VHF antenna is fitted. Most sailboats use a splitter with their majn (mast top) antenna, which might give them a range of 20 to 30MM (depending upon how high the antenna is on the other vessel). Boats that use a second (lower) antenna or sports fish boats will have a much reduced range. Class A vessels (ie large commercial vessels) have multiple means of accessing AIS data.

But you would laugh at how stupid I look trying to figure all this shit out. First thing I did was fall down the hatch and break a few ribs. Nonskid? Yeah. I'll be getting some. The main would only go half up. But that might have been me being stupid and having to many beers playing with stuff when I shouldn't have been. I woke up and the main halyard was almost skyed. Luckily it caught on the shroud just low enough I could get it. Not to mention living on 28' is a challenge 28' is a challenge just by itself. I don't know where you find all the salmon. But one of the most impressive things.. I think? Have you been using that plastic spoon thing this whole time? I think I've seen it for a very long time. Rock on brother.

We spent two weeks in Corsica last month. It was barely enough time to scratch the surface. So much to see. Staying off the beaten path is more rewarding. Up north the dramatic coast near Piano makes Big Sur look like the Great Plains. Careful though storms come up fast. Study up by watching KZitem videos of last summer’s sudden hurricane squall that sank most boats in the anchorage. Bonifacio area has great hikes but the harbor has a rockin’ outdoor disco (Club B-52) that will wreck your sleep. Northeast of town is the Golfo di Sant’Amaniza which is rural, quiet and about 10 miles from Club B-52 so much quieter. There are a couple of marinas and plenty of anchorages. Another highlight of this area are the islands between Corse and Sardinia the largest being Ile Cavalier. These rocky, low lying islands remind me of The Baths in the BVI’s except much larger more extensive. Many secluded anchorages with beautiful swimming. North coast’s Lille-Rousse was a favorite town. Nice anchorage in all weather. Great beaches. The Nice ferry docks here but is not as disruptive a factor as in other ferry port towns. Saint-Florent is the best port for exploring the wilds of Cap Corse at the northern tip. Lots of good hikes from there out along the beautiful coast to the west of town. Ajaccio is the capital and a big, stupid town worth avoiding if possible. Same with Bastia, too big for its own good. I guess its really hot there now. Hydrate!

I was taught during a RYA day skipper course I took last winter that one should not coil sheets and halyards in the usual single loop manner as I have been doing, but instead, coil them in figure eights. This way, you avoid getting twists in the lines. This might be a basic and obvious, but it was new to me. Perhaps this is why it is going on here?
@tyrotrainer765
Жыл бұрын
That's what I was thinking; I saw a YT video years ago that recommended coiling ropes and long electrical cables (the guy was a sound engineer roadie) like so.... Coil the rope in a loop, hanging on your free hand, like normal, BUT you alternate with a forward loop, then the next one you twist the standing part loop 180 degrees so that it is nearest your body, you then coil forward, then back, then forward..... Rinse and repeat. It is incredibly effective, you can throw a long cable or rope and it simply does not twist or snag up.

Those solder-less connectors will be fine short term, but to really make that fix last you should slide a piece of shrink tubing onto the wire before you crimp it and then slide and shrink the tubing over the whole section where the insulation was removed and hit it with some heat. It will last for years once you heat shrink over the connections -- you could see the corrosion that caused your problems in the video.

You could well be right, but for the next leg or two the no-cost solution would be to remove the rope, straighten it by throwing in the water a few times to remove twists, then refitting to the traveller. Then coil in the manner I described in my earlier reply; my opinion is that this is a memory issue with the line in question, Sam could try my option before parting with money.

Twists in your traveler lines: That happens all the time to my main sheet. The lines between the two sets of blocks, on a four-to-one purchase, develop a serious twist to the point where they actually wrap around a time or two. The only way I have found to deal with it is to remove the twist in the sheet starting from the bitter end forward. I could be wrong on this but I have come to believe the twist develops as a result of the twist construction of the line itself. Cheers.

Sam another cool adventure crossing. I'm in Marathon FL. I have a 2022 14ft' solo skiff. I run an 6 hp outboard, and my bow mt Minnkota trolling motor. And my vessel came with a round hole at the center of my cockpit. It's actually for an emergency sail setup. Or if you would like to sail it. So i do have 4 ways of propulsion. my outboard, bow mount Minnkota, my paddle always on board. And my sail kit is stored and i purchased it brand new, but i'm scared to use it, lol. Anyway, on your dodger. Have you ever considered the black one that is fitted to your cockpit, and you can unzip it from every side, or just windows you want open or sealed, if you keep watch in a storm. It actually covers your below deck entrance, so you can keep your entrance open when in rougher seas.The only other solo sailor i follow is Wind Hippie Sailing. I watched her buy her 27 ft. Sloop, and her mom and dad sailed the world for years, with her and her sister. And now she's on her own boat that she totally overhauled, and made it her own for over a year, in 3ft of snow in Maine. I'm originally from Rhode Island, and i love sailboats. She actually took all her own measurments, on her dodger at one of her destination crossings for a heavy duty fabric, with nice thick clear windows. Her dad designed all the poles, brackets, mounting hardware, and shipped it to her. She's added slowly, so much little by little in the past 4 years from leaving home. Solar panels, batteries, she's so talented like you, with diy's, replacing parts on her new motor that's actually the original motor for that boat. she just repainted her whole cabin. And back home she installed new windows, and gutted her cabin to design, so many storage cabinets, her stove, sink, head, V-birth, she's added electronics, batteries, and just has no plans on upgrading. I love when you take a vessel and make it your own, and it's allot of money. But that's not what it's about. It becomes connected to you, and is your passion, your home, solice, therapy. It's just amazing no matter what type of vessel everyone makes their own. But the dodger i think you'd truly love. And your talent with sewing, and designing. It's soooo much cheaper than purchasing a brand new one. God bless stay safe. Love all the adventures. Fyi, o far i think the Orcas love your boat. lol. They"re so beautiful and free. No-one knows why they've been acting this way. Thank the good lord, it's only the rudder. I know it still sucks, but at-least they haven't caused any sinking boats, injuries, or worse. Be safe my friend. If your board, i gave you something long to read. lol...

Some people, cut line forward, feed in new length. Square knot, or line splice. Leave a long tail. semi frequently , pull tail section thru block, when you drop main. The idea is to not leave the main halyard under tension, in the block. You need extra line to do this.

So nice sailing - thanks for sharing it with us! ( I donated money for dinner and beer - but it was not easy since I had no account at PP etc. Aren’t there any easier way? )

The traveller line twists are probably due to mis-alignments of the blocks that they are running through. Try to see if you can align the blocks better?

The ship lists so much when sailing at speed. I would be absolutely terrified
