I do love seeing Hank! And everything else of course!

When people talk about “couple goals” that’s what’s happening here…and I’m not talking about the boating, Hank or scenery or cooking;) Just lovely people who fit together

You asked about sailing on a broad reach in light airs (I haven’t read all the comments so I hope I’m not repeating anything below) You are right about the main shadowing the Genoa. You can, as you did, drop the main and it probably is not adding much at all. There is another option often used when racing, you can sail angles, meaning deliberately sailing higher than your intended course for a while, this should keep both sails set nicely and give you higher speed albeit not quite in your desired direction. Then your course to your destination will gradually become lower and eventually you sail on a run rather than a broad reach and pole out your headsail again presenting a lot of sail area and again getting good boat speed. If you really want to get technical you can link your GPS and watch your VMG (velocity made good) to judge how well your doing. Usually the increased boat speed at least makes up for the extra distance sailed and on some hull styles can be faster overall. Secondly on your diesel bug problem. If you have killed the bug (and keep killing it when you get more diesel in case your supply is infected) but you will have a a load of dead bug sludge in your tank and the only solution is to drain the tank. Most tanks will have a low point drain and that’s what you need to use that drain (not a suction system). The bug actually grows at the surface between the diesel and the water, there is always some water in diesel and it accumulates at the bottom of the tank so the tanks are designed with a low point drain but the engine pick up is deliberately higher so it avoids the water and sludge in the bottom. Remember to put bug killer into any jerry cans too, it’s no good putting it into the tank as you refill from the jerry can because the jerry can will have grown bugs while it was stored and then you pour the sludge into your tank. Good luck and thanks for the videos, you’re quite right the British Coast is beautiful.

All Hail King Hank!!! The two of you have become my favorite Sailors! Yes, you are so new to it all, but you never quit, are always open to suggestions and you do not hesitate to ask for help or suggestions. I am slowly catching up with your adventures and look forward to watching them each day. Thank you so much!!!!

This show should have higher ratings, more interesting and genuine than most!

Appreciated the Gladiator shot at 08:44.

The three of you make a groovy sailboat family. Keep up the good work, and when you can, catch a fish big enough to eat.

How could someone not like this

A quote from John Wright, in his book the edible seashore about limpets. ' a rubber erasure dipped in fish paste'

Fabulous video guys, you three are such a joy to watch ☺️ Stunning place! Thanks for showing us around these spots we never got to see. Lots of love, Jade & Brynn

I absolutely loved this episode! best one yet! :)

I pick limpets with a pointed knife. Boil them in sea water and fry garlic and onion whilts the pimpets are ready to peel off the shell. Boil spaghetti. While spaghetti is on the boil pour tomato puree on the fried onion garlic add red wine and pour the cooked limpets in the mix without the sea water. When the spaghetti is ready mix the limpet sauce in the spaghetti. Voila! ready for plating.

Looks like Hank had a "twin" to play with on the beach!

Great episode as ever, Camera work is excellent with the drone. 👍

Limpets are good raw no need to cook can just enjoy the Umami of the ocean!

I love watching your videos,can’t wait until the next video 👍

Light wind sailing is an art in itself, if you release the boom kicker, this will allow the sail to 'belly out' creating a more emphasised wing like sail shape, sheet it in to about 35/40° from the wind, the head sail will do 70% of the work and the main will provide the rest, if you have the balance right the autohelm should do very little work, trim the sails to your course not the other way round. Great video guys, I sailed that coast extensively and it is breathtaking.

Stunning work !

Beautiful views and places to explore. Look forward to the next one. Andy UK

I really enjoyed the episode.Thanks.

By far your best video yet. Loads of action, good variety, great scenery. Very well done.

Another exceptional video of scenery and music! Hank is such a showoff.... Love Carkey's smile!

Another excellent video! Love your drone footage! 😍😎

Next time boil the shellfish until tender and then saute them. That way Colleen might try them.

Great video guys. 👍

Great episode all the way around, Hank looks very happy with boat life.

Your dog's awesome. Give Hank some tickles from the internet.

Hi You should be getting Winkles by the bucket full down there, lift up the Bladderwrack weed by rocks and help yourself , I wouldn't worry about any nasties in the winkles as the water is very clean there . they contain Iron so that will put Lead IN Your Pencil.

Another great video. Def out favourite uk sailing channel now. Thanks so much for your great coverage of our new cruising ground. The best in the world we think! Lammy dog loves watching Hank, especially when he gets into her dinghy! 😆

Nova Scotia loves you Hank!!!!Cheers!!

You could have a stepping stone in the dinghy for beach arrivals…. Not to small though…. Cos you’d have to throw it back😄!

He is no MAESTRO, but he envisions and plans the vision, thanks!

Just spot you guys at St Mawes. Hooray!🥳

Enjoy your videos and look forward when you finally make it to the Med or the Caribbean.

Loving the stripey sailor rig on the hound dog!

Stunning

👍 AH, GREAT CADOHA 📹 As for the Limpets, they are called 'Opihi in Hawai'i and sell for around $18.00 per pound! They are usually eaten RAW 😋 (being an acquired taste). But grilling them is OK, too.

The best way to learn sail trim is riding with a experienced dingy racer. The sail trim is much faster and noticeable on a 14-16 foot dingy than a large cruiser. They know what makes the boat move. Just find the local racing club and ask for pointers and a ride. Don't try while they are racing, things move much faster and you won't be able to ask questions. Does not take too long to learn what makes a boat move and what to avoid.

Love you three!!⛵🐕🤗

Thanks for showing this side of the UK, all new to me. Just waiting to see a dragon come over the cliff.

Great vid.

Beautiful scenery, looking forward to seeing you catch and cook larger fish 😉 all the best 🍻

Very impressed with your Limpit gathering. Such an underrated shellfish. I like to dice them and stir fry with whatever seasoning takes your fancy.

Yay more Hank That’s all I’m here for

Enjoyment! 😎

For downwind I put 2 reefs in main and over sheet it a bit. genoa is doing all the work and i convince myself that the reefed main calms the rolling a bit. Ido fly a chute when i can be bothered with the faff of rigging it single handed

Well done

Try steaming them and let us know because when I was a kid back in Scotland (born 1954) we wouldn.t touch them. Thanks for the video.

Pound the limpets to tenderize them. They are very much like abalone which must be pounded before cooking or you will have a very difficult time dining on.

Salcombe, so lovely that London bought it 🤔

Thumbs up 👍🏻 from us

great

Come to Teignmouth and we'll show you how to catch mackerel

Mate I've been to salcombe it's beautiful

Seeing as you're sailing a cutter maybe you could rig twin headsails and goosewing them out on poles?

Hank is such a cool dude

In those light conditions I’d be under main and symmetrical spinnaker, max sail area.

Having watched this episode for the 3rd time I realise you did not get as far as Salcombe distillery, but hey ho no problem for me. Get the next episode out soon please I am land lubbered at the moment due to the things that life throws at you unexpectedly.

Any sailing from 150 degrees to 180 degrees we furl our main and sail on Genoa , ballooned and mizzen

Do you have a code 0, or gennaker to use in light airs? Also a barber hauler on the genoa allows you to adjust its shape and reduce the movement.

With my catamaran when sailing downwindand the genny is being masked by the main (and im not using my spinnaker) I "gull wing" it without a pole. I think I will spoil your spoiler by saying the spoiler is just round the corner about 1 mile from the Lizard (Kynance Cove) but I could be wrong, I cant wait for the next episode!!!!! If I am wrong check out kynance when in the area.

Still trying to work out whether you picked your dog to be a perfect match for your interior woodwork or the other way around ... 😊

Salcombe rum? What about the pussers navy rum? 😅 lovely video again!

I think this week I may have stumbled on the yachts former life videos as ending where you bought Cadoah was it Mat and Emma? To be fair they done have Hank staring, Will you be in plymouth sound to watch the Hatchling?

Definitely no frying I wouldn’t fry them at all. Put them in a bucket of fresh sea water overnight ( or in your home prepped salted water ) perhaps add a sprinkling of oats to feed them. When the water is on an gentle boil put in them in an return to the boil and when the limpets fall from the shell they are ready - no Not over cook. Then gently twist and pull the head away from the foot and discard the head. You are left with the chewy foot and the black guts. The black guts are often discarded but are totally edible. Then eat them fresh from the pan with crispy rolls and perhaps a dash of Tabasco - perhaps with some egg fried rice Above all please do not fry limpets you are destroying all the flavour of the shellfish

I don't know that this works but would tenderising limpets with one of those hammers you use to tenderise a steak be an idea. Also, like the Gladiator reference.

Not sailing so close hauled , having the sail a wider angle out to the sides light winds will depend on course but a sail each side would be more productive, this is when starting in dinghies is helpful tend to experiment more

Where is hanks stripey shirt from. Our German short haired pointer doug would look great in one when we go away on our boat 😀

Astroturf! Get another dog (dog dog!) to piss on it first, wash it and he won’t be able to wait to piss on it, after a couple of times just take the AstroTurf away.

Get a light wind sail!!!

i read it is expensive even to anchor in Salcombe ,,,, i wish youtubers would put in how much mooring / anchoring marinas etc cost ..... anyway , good to see you are progressing well ,, R

The mic was like wartime radio microphone sound.

Love the fishing.....the only reason I married my wife was because she had worms!! 😉😉

Typo in the title. It happens!

Do you have any experience with seaweed ?

Chester , my 3yo Pitbull says , "Happy International Dogs Day" to Hank

Always an enjoyable video. A few tricks when shadowing from the main - if dead behind we push the main to the ‘wrong side’ and hold it there with a preventer brought back to the cockpit. Then the Genoa I attach an extra line and take that to a block as far aft as possible like a spinnaker. Works great in light to medium winds. If that is not ideal using the Genoa alone is best for good steerage as it is ‘pulling’ the boat along as apposed to twisting against the keel. Although with our boat depends on wind position as our main is bigger than our Genoa, hence we sometimes bring in the genny and use the main only. It’s all trial and error mainly 🤣. In very light winds we have an asymmetric spinnaker and that is just amazing 🤩 but not used as much as the other tricks.

Try using a shelled limpet as bait on a hook to catch a fish . 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ ¿ 🐟

Your wide-striped Navy blue/white shirt at the end is what I used on my boat years ago as crew uniform! Is that a one-off or do you sell them? Probably not or your name would be on it. That style has faded from favor in the last decade.

Toilet on the boat? Follow bentleys example Hank…..still sorry about that! 💩😵‍💫

One day I’ll be the first comment! One day…

You should eat more often. Only 5?

do you speak french ?

Have you thought about working freelance for the british tourist ...whatever the fu&£ they are called?...you three make the uk look quite a nice place to live ?🤔🤣🤣👍🇬🇧

Personally, I’d rather forage in McDonald’s

your fish is bigger than a bean......and you eat beans
