We have crossed the border to cruise the rugged and beautiful outside coast of Mexico's Baja Penninsula. From the large city of Ensenada, to the extremely remote Islas San Benito we found many stunning vistas, rich wildlife, and excellent sailing. A perfect weather window allowed us to make the last leg into Cabo San Lucas in one long sail from the little village of Abreojos. An ocean passage that began in the frigid waters of San Diego ended in the bathwater warm tropics of the entrance to the Sea of Cortez.
Julia is a traditional wooden boat. She was built of cedar, fir, and oak in Desolation Sound in 1960 to Atkin's Ingrid design. She is out to prove that classic yachts are well suited to bluewater cruising, and to have lots of excellent sailing along the way!
The home built windvane was made to a design by Bill Belcher in his book Wind-Vane Self Steering.

Thank you. I prefer your style as oposed to most sailing channels who use clickbait and nudity to become popular. I hope your channel grows without that you have to loose your integrity, values and morals. Thanks again. Fair winds.

This channel is such a gem. On point narration and editing, no clickbait bullshit, pure sailing and journey. The romance feels real, not fabricated, like you're truly just showing a snippet of your experiences. I'm glad I found it early on and I intend to keep watching for as long as it's there. Thanks, Madison.

Subbed to the channel for its "attitudes". Like a wooden boat, a work in progress, but very fine and enjoyable. Binge watching to pinpoint the addition of the wind-vane "auto-pilot" and its nature. The problem with sailing is that winds can change direction and consequent adjusting course consequently requires adjusting rig/sails, or actual course. A tiller fixed in one position cannot adapt to any changes as it locks the rudder. Pure electric, or electric-hydraulic, autopilots are set to maintain course, generally irrespective of wind and its changes. To keep that into account, the system would need sensors and serious AI (it's been done, by the way). But these auto-pilot systems can be noisy and may fail (one of the YT sailing channels had such failure). Sailing with one or two people on board, you need additional crew if you need to sleep well enough. And we all need that. A reliable wind-vane is the only tool that would allow me to sleep well, even in a single-handed journey. Because it keeps course relative to wind. So if the wind direction changes, it alters course relative to compass and bottom-line you generally are still on the fastest leg, being under sail. It adds a helmsman and you don't have to keep adjusting rudder all the time to stay the course.

When you are in the Sea of Cortez during the summer months, remember to give your decks and hull above the water line a good watering down daily. This will keep the wood from srinking and allowing many leaks. We learned the hard way.

Hello again from Catalina Island! Your progress has been spectacular:) As I wrote in your previous vlog, you have again visited some of my favorite spots. Turtle Bay is one and old town Cabo as well. San Jose is another pleasant stop if you're near. You are now heading up toward La Paz. As you begin to head into the seas you'll find many Islas to visit, so many in fact it may become frustrating, lol. Short hops will work well... Steve & Sharon...:)

You should share more content below decks, like how you prepare food along the way and how everything is situated down there. Also, it’d be cool to see how all your lines are run and organized.

Wonderful new channel! Amazing vessel, stunning visuals, lots of sailing and interesting! What draws me to some sailing channels is the vulnerability, personal reflection, story telling of the sailors as they struggle with the lifestyle. Project Atticus does a pretty good job of that. Some call it drama and that can turn to 'bullshit', but viewers feeling like they 'know you' and care about you is pretty compelling. Just a thought... keep up the great work!!

Hello, I have also just discovered your channel and am binge watching it from the beginning. Two questions, if you have the time... what is the little wooden gadget that is attached to what I'm assuming is the jib sheet? Part of the sheet to tiller steering system? Also, where did you find the plans for your wooden wind vane? Thanks so much and thank you for the videos!
@WaterTrails
@WaterTrails 2 жыл бұрын
Great video sequence. Sounds like you've traded-in sheet to tiller steering for windvane steering. Curious of your overall impression of sheet-to-tiller ?
@MadisonBoatworks
@MadisonBoatworks 2 жыл бұрын
Overall sheet to tiller self steering is a completely viable method, it is by far the lowest cost, and it can be done with materials already on board. It requires a bit more vigilance and skill to use than a windvane, every point of sail will require a different strategy and it may vary with conditions as well. Like most systems it struggles sailing dead down wind, the course may have to be altered to help it steer. Overall it is perhaps better suited to a backup or emergency system if the budget for a windvane exists. Inexperienced crew can adjust a windvane easier than diagnosing a poorly performing STT setup. I think a lot depends on the boat and the crew and the budget and the tolerance for tweaking things to make it right.

@@MadisonBoatworks Thanks for the response !!! It's difficult to get a realistic experienced response to this question, so your's is not small. I'm going to attempt this, singlehanded, but I'll admit i have an electranic auto-pilot as a backup. But, I'm committed to making tiller to sheet to work. That's why I'm so interested in yout exp. Thanks for your reply, !

@@MadisonBoatworks We tried that system 55 years ago with a gaff rigged Colin Archer, your right about emergency use. Later a UK system came out called a QME which we used, the kit cost $35 I think. About the same time the Hasler system was developed and life was made much easier. Not many boats cruising back in those days. Marinas did not even exist, hard to imagine. Diesel fuel was 16cents a gal. I miss those days. One good tuna season fishing in South Australia for 5 months you could buy a house in Sydney. Sounds crazy now.

He was on his way down from Port of Los Angeles on a 38' foot sailboat and the mast had broke...the water is so calm and peaceful there...do storms just come out of nowhere at this time ?

Oh wow that is scary. I hope your friend is okay! We watch the weather forecasts pretty closely, but there is also a large element of chance as well. Sometimes the weather is just worse than predicted. The US coast guard and Mexican navy will both fly search patrols of those waters, I assume they are aware of the situation.

You got to get to the southeastern side of Mexico.. that's where there's less tourism and you can get a taste of what it's really like.. it's like America used to be.. family is important and crime is very low.. it's beautiful and cheap.. there's a reason why we're lied to by the media and government about the cartels running wild and you're not safe.. it's because it's cheap living, there's freedom and easy living
