Great stuff. I sail hull #358, one of the few (4?) yawl rigs left. Mizzen and jib are great on long windy reaches. Used to spend too much time on dressing her up. Now it’s sailing before beauty…just the basics. Maybe I’ll do a video soon. From Sag Harbor to Block.

I know you're an experienced sailor and mean no disrespect....you were standing on deck with no safety line! You have too much confidence. You were one wrong step or one wave from watching your boat sail away without you. We never expect accidents to happen. But knowing the sea as you do I am shocked you weren't lashed to that boat. Please please sir, safety first. I love your channel and We all would hate it if it went black one day. Kind regards from 🇩🇪 Germany.

Motor sailing solves the problem of too little/much wing or wind blowing the wrong way. He also said he had fuel to make the whole trip, so fuel conservation wasn't a factor. Exclusive sailing is for leisurely cruising when speed isn't an issue and ocean crossings where it's not economical to maintain fuel for the whole trip. If you're on a deadline (or outrunning a storm) exclusive sailing doesn't make sense. They put engines on sailboats for a reason.

Congrats on a nicely planned passage. I have the same boat (hull #214) and I would like to hear more about how you are set down below - galley, etc. I have been slowly upgrading my Vanguard to make it to the Bahamas when I retire (18 months). I have the twin bunk set up below with no quarter berths. The galley is right were you enter the cabin and I cook on omelette stations - no stove. Solid boat for sure. I am on a lake in SC and I need all the bits for ocean ventures. My boom furler works nicely, but I just added slab reefing for the main from the cockpit - easier for me when solo sailing. Genoa has a furler as well. I will follow along and I certainly appreciate you paving the way. I get a lot of criticism that my boat is too small to sail (from Charleston SC) to the Bahamas but I've seen plenty of sailors do it. Sail ON!

I like your plan and I have interior project videos uploaded to the Pearson Vanguard FB group. 3 things I wish I had done day 1. First, 33lb rocna anchor/65 ft 5/16 chain w 250ft 5/8 rode, manual winch. Second, auxiliary rudder wind vane. Third air-conditioning. In that order. Me not having a good anchor cost my insurance company lots of $. With out the WV solo sailing was Brutal and ac because I'm a landluber. I hope this helps.

He's using a Hydrovane, to my mind a somewhat surprising choice. This vane has its own steering rudder as opposed to a vanes with a servo oar that is connected via control lines to the boat's steering system (which in this case, would be a tiller).

In this video I rigged the preventer to the bowel cleat, the video I made returning I ran the preventer back to the cockpit so I can make adjustments without going forward.
