Man, you've grinded for this opportunity, and I'm grateful that you let us come along!!

Rod I think you named the tender without realizing it..."Comin' Along" is primo! Only thing I can say is you have a lot of faith in that chain and rope being clean letting it slide through those precious digits of yours. It only takes one burr or barney to end that day on a bad note! Get some fingerless glovies and throw them in the "never leaves the boat" locker along with that mask and snorkel and some fins! Fair winds my friend!

I can see the 2 week multi island challenge on the horizon! Can’t wait to see where this new chapter will take us

We live on a 45 foot yacht with a draft of 2.1m. we have motor/sailed the channels from Southport to Moreton many times, and haven't run aground yet (touch wood), the trick is to try and time it so that you are passing Jacobs Well at high tide, the tides in the channel flood in from both directions and meet at Jacobs Well (which is approximately half way) , so you will have the current helping you get to Jacobs Well then carry you back out. We use navionics on an ipad, the "autoroute" feature will show the correct track. Happy sailing

Always get a smile on my face when I see that Rod's uploaded another video, came across this channel about 4 or 5 months ago and he's got a loyal subscriber from Ireland now!! Already can't wait for the next upload!

She was basically sailing on the anchor when that happens you can lock the tiller about 30 degrees and the current will hold her out in the stream, you may need to experiment with settings, you can also reduce the scope a little. Remember you can fish from your Yacht EH!

love your video's I'm the chief engineer of a motor yacht these newer ones are interesting in watching a new boat owner learn what even a boat of this size requires and the representation of what kind of dedication they take to not only maintain but make worthy. keep it up man your passion for the life is unmatched on KZfaq.

Last weekend when there was no video of the new boat I was devastated! It's become a family tradition to watch the new Rocket video with Sunday breakfast. So happy to see you back

Respect for you posting uncut footage. Not sugarcoating the glory of the situation. Going to make the perfect days even better to watch! Thank you Rokkit

As a guy from Midwest US, I'm feeling a little envious. I'm glad you took us with you on your boat. And I hope she floats for many years to come

This channel is going places, with a solar/satellite wifi/supply base such as this you could camp multiple islands in a single trip. Perhaps even comfy enough for your family to join in on the fun. The vicarious adventure perhaps the world needs right now. Stay blessed and safe out there brother🙏

I remember seeing Misty for sale. It was on my shopping list but you got there first. Looks like you got yourself a nice boat. Anyway keep an eye out for a bright red Hobie trimaran on the Broadwater and I'll give you a wave. All the best.

Excellent video as ever. If you get a lot of light wind days maybe invest in a drifter, a large jib that can catch the most of the breeze. Hope you have many happy days sailing.

Moved away from the coast many years ago. I yearn for the sea all the time. As a fisherman and camper, your videos scratch that itch, soothes me and keeps me close to the ocean. Cheers from Johannesburg, South Africa.

This video felt like spending some time with a friend. It's really nice.

The 2 happiest days in a sail boat owners life, the day they buy it and the day they sell it.

My favourite thing is when Rod just stands up looking into the sunset and says to himself "Yeah, nah".

Love your content so much, hope to see more of the Boat and the things you'll experience with it

You’re on an awesome journey Rod, enjoying watching you suss this all out. Another top vid mate 👌👍

Can’t wait to enjoy this video. So happy for you and your accomplishments!

Cant wait to see the adventures this sailboat brings in the future.

Always use 2 anchors one for and one aft! And add some noseum mesh around the top of the cabin so you can leave it raised and the bugs can’t get in!

Rokkit u seem such a genuine and humble honest person.. reason why i watxh ur videos.. keep it up bro

expanding the range of your activities has been a fun adventure! thanks for sharing!

Yeees, I've been waiting to see you take a trip on your nice boat Rob!

Great fun, thank-you for your humility and sense of adventure!!!!

Seeing you learning the absolute basics by going ahead and doing it is a blast. This boat is going to be a wonderful addition to your adventures.

It's just fascinating to see this great Swedish boat navigating on these latitude!! Love your boat, your landscape with sandy beaches and wonderful blue water - and your accent! Inspiring video - keep up the good work!

I am stoked for the sailing content especially with the fam!

This really adds another dimension to your adventures; it is ridiculous how much I look forward to your videos. She is a really pretty little yacht and is great for your fishing trips. Thanks for the uploads.

I love the whole learning experience of these videos, they're great!

So peaceful once that motor is off. That is the main reason I want to sale my boat and sail my boat. Thanks for the inspiration.

I really enjoyed this! Very much looking forward to more videos . Well done

Can’t wait to see more adventures on this boat!

Thank you Rod, I went squidding last week for the first time, caught 4, cleaned them etc and learnt it all from you.

Lovely learning by doing 👏 looking forward to your next adventure

Call your tender Love than you can sing "love me tender" as you sail along!... I'll get my coat.... 😂👍

Brother that seems like you will have many fun trips with enough room for the family. Looking forward to seeing your videos

Just remember that with sailing it is the journey more so than the destination that brings the most joy. Enjoy your vids.

Awesome man, have been waiting for this video!

Sweeeet, the new adventures of Rokkit kit, thank you Rod....

One of the only KZfaq channels I like the video before I even watch because I love the channel no matter if it's fishing or not. Keep up the awesome work Rod!!

What a great van! Love when you take us on your adventures! So much fun! Mom is looking amazing!❤ Talula is a ham with the camera now!❤Yosh is adorable as ever!❤

So cool to watch your videos. Thank you for the excellent commentary.

Loved watching quite a few sailing channels and Rokkit over past few years . Now RoKKiT gone sailing ..bingo ! Got to be my new favourite 👍👍😁

Thanks Rod great vid plenty of hard work getting to this point can’t wait for the long open water vid 👍

this combines everything i love, fishing, sailing, being on the water and essentially camping on a boat..

Oh shit I’m so excited for this one!! Thanks for all your hard work

Gonna be fun, I can see your excitement.

Advise you to pull the engine prop up when sailing, your speed will increase quite a bit. There is no rope on a boat, only line. You should pull the dinghy out of water at night/when not using for long periods of time to keep the bottom from becoming covered in growth over time. Creating a 3-4 point lifting harness and using the main sail halyard & winch will make it easy to bring .5m out of the water alongside.

"Kicking arse and taking names!" That's awesome Rokkit! Who'd have thought heaven was a little yellow sailboat.

Too be able get on the water with no engine noise(most of the time) is pure heaven in my book best of luck to you rokkit I will keep watching with interest

Definitely need a stern anchor on your side rod. That way you won't swing in the wind or the current and you can get yourself set up how you would like

Rod, you have worked so hard for where you are it's inspirational. You've inspired me to start my channel 🙏

Ayy, my boy is waving at boats. We're in the big leagues now

It's still the adverts. I've been waiting for this. I used to sail back home. One of the best things ever. Vicariously I live!

Nice day for a cruise and exploring👍🌊

I am loving the new boat man I am so happy for you! Also really digging the music at the start!

Great video buddy! I’ll bet it felt great waking up and opening the hatch after your first sleep aboard! Keep up the good work.

Have you ever thought about doing a really long trip where you camp on multiple different islands before returning home?

Put a tether on your fishing rods! You got this Rod, but you’ll learn a lot when the winds blow! Rock on Nice Guy.!

Hanapaa!! Action!! We learn from trials and errors and from experiences. Mahalo for sharing your passion.

Beautiful day. Would have been the bees knees in the Kayak.

This is awesome man. I bought my own sailboat in Denmark and have lived on it for about 6 months now. It is the greatest decision I ever made.

Really enjoying this new sailing boat hey. Good entertainment.

Been waiting for this one rod thanks for the upload!

Great video Rod keep up the good work

Hey! I have been watching you for quite some time now on KZfaq. I love that you have progressed to this sailing boat. Something I’d love to get into myself. Id just like to say thanks for the content & keep up the good work. It looks like you have a beautiful family too. All the best.

Awesome vid Rod!

Good on you Rod, just great.

Wow thank you. The kangaroo swimming was such a treat. That boat is a dream. Loved all of it.

another great video, keep going! cheers!

Let’s go mate! Cheers for the video!

Excellent maiden voyage! May I suggest a nice stainless boarding ladder? Would be a safe investment if you were injured and had to reboard the boat.

Loving all the sailboat content! Hope you are enjoying the latest addition to your fleet aha

I truly enjoy your honesty comments.. Your real mate.

Man, I've waited for you to drop the vid.. geez.. my week goes unpleasant if I don't watch an episode from you.. keep making them brother.. some fish would've been great but yeah it's so great to see your videos.. I have such a connection with you that I feel sad if you miss a week.. thanks mate

When you started sailing and the song came ! It was top notch mate ❤️🤘🏼

Great vid, dude

I was like damn I wasn’t in the background of the vid and then bam right at the end 🤣👍

Yew happy for ya mate🤙mate wishing I was doing a bit of this right now.

That was some next level catch and cook

I believe that things have a vibe, and Misty has a great one. Hse looks like a happy boat.

I didn't know the deckhead literally came up on those things! Seeing that, the first thing that strikes me is to add a collapsing screen mesh to the rim, so that the opening all around is screened-in when the deckhead is raised, and you get to enjoy light and cross-breeze without inviting all the mozzies in for a snack :D

You're so right about the cost to fun ratio of a sailboat being WICKED high. Stoked to see what you have coming, you definitely have lots of space for some comfortably long trips!

Nice combo you have !

Keen as mustard , love your videos mate , very well done 👍

Its a new day, its a new life, great Sailor!💦👍 your sail boat looks very nice, you did good work!

Just tuned in....4k looks GREAT

Re swimming kangaroos : I remember there were swimming wallabes on Flinders Island in 1967 when dad was craying there. Well I was only five, and it turned out they weren't resting, they were floating dead. Dozens of them. Good to see Skippy learned to swim.

look small but so cute too I can spend the whole day and it's so adventurous..nice video good luck

after so long i've been waiting for your content

Keep up the great work and great content, got a fan here from the US

That is a fantastic day. Working out the kinks will make every new day better.

love this video! your content is top tier :)

Been waiting for the new sailboat lore to drop !

Love your channel buddy. I know there's loads of work behind the scenes. I used to film a fishing show. All the best and keep up the good work!

Haha catch & cook , make me 😄😄 Great vlog 👍

So sick, Yeah legend!
