I saw exactly that track taken by a long keeler in our marina. Luckilly the old fellow attracted quite an audience because when his universal joint broke there were around 12 committed marina dwellers there to arrest his progress. No gel coats were scratched.

Another magnificient video by the master himself! I'm always impressed with the cleanliness and organization of your vessel. You maintain her well unlike many others on KZfaq who make videos of their adventures but somehow forget to wash their boat. Yours is alway impeccable and functional. Thank you!

As a truck driver, I have enjoyed all of your audio books and videos. After I hang up these keys, I will be setting sail to other lands without pavement under my coccyx. It is funny seeing your sewing projects mentioned in "Alone together." They are like Easter eggs just between you and your readers. Thank you again for sharing.

Since I graduated high school in 1983, my dad insisted on me getting my pilots liscence. In 1984, I discovered sloops…in particular an Erickson 38. To this day I long for one. My wife unfortunately gets sick just looking at the ocean. I envy you sir. Love your channel. Thank you!

I love the philosophy that comes from anticipating,overcoming and reflecting on the many sailing challenges. We strive to remodel a battlefield to be more of a playground. It is fulfilling to rest in peace knowing that we have overcame. Christian’s experiences and wonderful narrative help us immensely knowing that it can be done.

Ahoy Captain! I have about 1/1000000 the experience that you have but I feel for ya. I was trying to back into my slip with my full keel Nor Sea 27 the other day and geeez, it just would not go where I was steering, hoping and guessing it should. I was doing the same thing with forward reverse but never got it. Eventually just regrouped and pulled in. I love your videos. God bless you sir. Dear Audience, If you haven't listened to Christian Williams's audio books yet, you are missing some really good stuff. Audible is one platform to find them.

Hi Christian, just wanted to Thank You, for all your videos and inspiration. A friend of mine arrives in Oahu today from Seattle singlehanded, I did the trip last year singlehanded, we were just talking about how much you and some others have helped in our endeavors. Just so you know, I bet there's many more like us out there.

Bravo. Well all learn and now singlehanding is no longer secret knowledge, thanks to KZfaq. I well remember studying this book 15 years ago, memorizing every word. It was at the time pretty much samizdat, but now available to all on Amazon: "Singlehanded Sailing: Thoughts, Tips, Techniques & Tactics" Paperback - October 16, 2014 by Andrew Evans (Author)

Keeping my sailing dreams alive. Sold my sailboat 3 years ago....I usually buy, sail and then sell every 3 years. I may skip this year which will be 4 seasons not sailing. It's easy to make excuses to hold off on buying again. Traveling the USA with the goal to sleep in all the states and visit all the National parks is a good reason for now. Up to 34 states slept in and 33 National Parks visited.

May I suggest a piece of wire Loom to put on the bow pulpit to protect it from being scratched by the concrete. Easy to put on and won't leave any residue that sometimes even painter tape will leave....or even more aggravating is that most painters tape and other tapes are coming from China and they tear and split when your trying to use it.....buy a section of Loom and reuse it until you lose it.

I have always felt there was a Zen-like quality to sailing - a centering, calming all good feeling of being on the water and in tune with the boat, the wind, the water and the creatures... watching the small details of your experiences brings much of that into focus again. Having raced for many years, I tired of the loud voices and over exuberance on the course - now I venture out with renewed joy that in part I owe to you sir! Cheers from the Atlantic in New Hampshire!
