I was watching your video with a big open eyes and redness on my face. Amazing beauty of north west Scotland. Have been sailing this year to Oban and through the Caledonian Canal but Hebrides are so special. Magic Skye Island - so beautiful. I must sail there before I die. Thank you for sharing. I want to ask you about anchorages - how do you know what kind of bottom you have - sandy or rocky and if you use only 1 anchor or have 2 to sleep whole night in peace?

I remember using one of the sailing clubs moorings and the strong wire cables. A northerly came in and I understood. That was not a full gale that time but I spent quite a few stressful moments on my Elizabethan 23 through the night! The power of nature is something that can catch anyone out.

You kind of expect this in places like Florida where they know they get serious weather coming through on a regular basis, but Hollyhead and in fact England and Wales is really not known for it the same. Climate change is happening. I feel for the boat owners.

Wonderful video. I know some of the places from having sailed from Crinan to Tobermory about 20 years ago and a few others from cycling as a teen 40 years ago and this video brings back so many memories. Then there are so many places I have not visited too. I wonder whether I will ever manage to visit them.

Very enjoyable I am planning the same trip in summer 2023. I'd be interested to know what the sail is called at 0:37 and again at 9:15 and what weight is the material, as it looks like a double genoa. It looks a lot easier than flying a spinnaker single handed.
@svfornautic1641 Жыл бұрын
Than you 👍The headsail is a Elvestrom Blue Water Runner. It is both a twin headsail and can be used as a large genoa. It's mounted on a cable with its own furler. It can be seen mounted but furled away on picture at 22:15 also shown as a genoa at 20:58. Here is a link to the official Elvestrom video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9ZlorplucDeZIU.html

@svfornautic1641 Жыл бұрын
You are very welcome. From our experience ( we sail double handed ) It is easier to handle than a spinnaker with snuffer, with the added bonus that it can be reefed by furling in as my furler locks in any position.

Excellent video, we did pretty much the same trip last summer, brought back some memories! Skye bridge never seems high enough! Looks like Plockton was bumpy for you, we were there in a southerly gale when it afforded excellent shelter. Please can you tell me what the black covering on your kicker is? We have some block damage on the gas strut from the block having whacked it, this would seem a good way of covering up the damage. Thanks.
@svfornautic1641 Жыл бұрын
Hi Robert. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your comments. Plockton wasn't too bad at all. It wasn't much of a blow. The kicker has carbon fibre scuff protection stickers on. Lots of different types are available on Amazon. All the best. Steve

Remember "Capt. Ron" That was me back i the 20's and 30's. One thing I seemed to be pretty good at was fiberglass work. I knew how not to itch but I still hated it but people kept offering me pocket fulls of money to fix their boats then they would send me more customers. It never failed too, if there was going to be a hurricane, it was inevitable that I would be there when it hit. When Hurricane BOB hit long island I ended up getting stuck there doing fiberglass work in the winter in a building too big to heat no less. I was planning to be in mexico that winter.
