@@Steve-ul8qbVery true, it won't take long with or without a pfd, But a tether on a jackstay gives you a better chance. If I went over I could turn the boat using the Raymarine remote app, but that would prove difficult if swimming to stay afloat. Actually I've recovered a guy suffering hypothermia off Dartmoor. He was happy as larry and said it was so warm he wanted to take his clothes off. He was soaked to the skin and it was minus 4°. Better to die happy than choking on seawater.

Erik, thank you so much for the fabulous episode. I felt like it had a great balance of exciting sailing and local history and sightseeing. Always important to show the locations that you sail to, in part because your drone footage is so good and many of these places are very quaint and historic. I’ve heard great things about the Hebrides from other friends of mine. Now, a word about your gennaker. I know it’s easy to get distracted while single handing and trying to fly a big kite like that. You wouldn’t be the first person I saw get rope burn from a spinnaker sheet once the sail got some pressure in it. Whenever I am in heavy air, I make sure to wear sailing gloves that have leather palms. I actually consider the gloves to be a piece of safety equipment due to the protection they offer your hands and they significantly increase the grip you can get on your running rigging as you’re working with it. Those gennaker sheets and spinnaker sheets are usually a smaller diameter line and that’s hard to grip with your hands, so the gloves give you that advantage. Don’t buy anything with rubber palms because the friction can melt the rubber. I only use work gloves that have full fingers and leather palms. Lastly, welcome to my world of quick release snap shackles. Like you, I have had those come loose in heavy winds. They’re great for when you are racing a sailboat because you can change out the sails quickly, but they’re not so great for the cruising that you’re doing. You’re actually better off just tying a bowline knot from your gennaker sheets onto your gennaker clew. Good work on this video. The sea state didn’t seem to be terribly rough and that allows you to get in some just sailing and no bullshit! Oh, and lastly, I didn’t see you wearing a self inflating PFD when you were on the floor deck. So very important to do that when you’re a single handing. Don’t make me fly there and have to buy you one!! OK enough complaining now. Just looking after you my friend. Keep up the great work!

Erik, for the gennaker, turn it into a cruising chute, get a snuffer system added to it and it will hoist and drop within its own little sock and be far easier to handle.

I have my gennaker with a snuffer. Works very well. Never any furling problems :)!! Maybe would be a solution for you as well. I know it is a bit more old skool, and it took me a bit of working out, how to do it solo, but it works reliably for several years now. I always use one sheet as well. When I take it down, I just take the shoot with me on to the foredeck, wrapped only once around the whinch. As soon as I start pulling the snuffer down, I release the shoot. I fly it up to about 14 knots. (can do 18, but it gets dicy quick if wind direction changes). Perhaps give a snuffer a try.

Love your videos. How about replacing you gennaker furling system with a spinnaker sock? Much less complicated so less to go wrong and better for the sail too. If you try it, have the control lines made long enough to bring back to the cockpit. Works well for me in a 42 foot boat singlehanded. Set up the control lines with snatch blocks at the mast collar, You might also consider a spinnaker net to prevent forestay wraps.
