Looks alot like a Code D some catamarans sailors are really happy with that type of sail.

We attach our bridle on the chain with a huge DIY soft shackle. Easy, fast, secure. We even attach Ti’amā on mooring buoys sometimes with the bridle and the soft shackle 😉

Very interesting discussion! -- QUESTION -- We have looked at Hallberg Rassy sailboats and note that they all have in-mast furling. Magnus Rassey is on youtube and discusses the in=boom vs in-mast comparison and gives his reasons. Why not consider in-mast furling and why do I never see that option on Catamarans? As a side note, we find Hallbergs to be simply perfect for long distance bluewater cruising so we assume that they have this mast thing figured out - just wish someone would suggest to them to start building Catamaran too. Would be something to see.

FFR = flat furling reacher

I understand the a in Nikolaos is pronounced

Some catamarans anchor from one bow, the boat then sit slightly to one side, so reducing veering

Attaching the bridle when only one person available. We have been using a 6mm soft shackle for the last two seasons. Never failed or worn out. Just another idea

Looks like a very cool cat.

Thanks for a look at another beautiful city. Thanks for all the comments and your replies as well as others. I know little about sails, but I'm learning. Seems there are more options in sail shapes coming online. Not sure if I hope you sell the Barefoot Explorer soon 😐🙃, I'll miss these adventures til your new explorer cat is operational.

We want to see you sailing! Not particularly interested in the how your water maker functions.🤣

As sailors purchasing an incredible catamaran the best the market has to offer for your needs , the highest priority are your sails. The enjoyment of the best sails far outweighs anything else on your yacht. That’s why you havnt bought a power catamaran. Buy the best . Your hearts will sing as you fly across the water.

Love your channel but you have painted yourself into a design corner with your color choices. Spinnaker design by web page is so primitive. You are spending a fortune on this dream boat and you really need a better look. Highly recommend you hire a graphic artist to produce a complete concept for your brand. You need to open up your mind to more color/design choices and their potential.

Just a couple anchoring ideas we use. We never set the anchor without the bridle to avoid windless damage. No to side hooks reduces chain strength by over 50% with side sheer on the chain and they fall off easily. Way easier to use a Dyneema soft shackle or a Dyneema strop cow hitched to the chain. Make it yourself or buy one from Manson. Happy Sailing. SV Stray Kitty

but, a Code 0 is a very specific sail. It exploits a loophole in the rating rule - it has mid girth measurement that means it rates as a spinnaker (but nonetheless a small kite, so no rating penalty), but operates as a full cut headsail. If it were a headsail, it would be huge, and would incur a rsignificant ating penalty. As an aside, it was favourite downwind kite when it blew above 30knots - it's flat and bulletproof. We could easily get 25 knots of boat speed (quickish for a 40' monohull...)

Only ever used White Sails, what does PFR & FFR mean/stand for? (F=Foil?)

I go with quality, price and performance...

good info 😊

More chain is needed

When you get to a certain point the the whole problem needs a rethink .. ruclips.net/video/E-ieRSjg6us/видео.html&feature=shared

Your ventures sure do bring you to the most beautiful little villas! I would love to stroll the sidewalks and admire their handmade goods and trinket shops. Do you ever purchase their homemade, bottled, salad dressing? I assume they make their own but it wouldn’t surprise me if they import it. The bottomless lake is definitely fascinating and comes with her own folklore too!! Thank you Eli for sharing her history with us. 😊 I’m not sure about your choice of sail but durability would be my priority. The longer it lasts and ease of use would be my determining factor. Thank you both for this week’s video and stay safe! 🥰♥️

Hi again this week John and Eli! I won't rant on about what I know about sails as you know it all already. SO I'll just say that I love the background information you provide each week on your destinations. Great stuff! How did you get the diving footage? Interesting shipwreck. It's interesting that you started to discuss the surrounding restaurants and cafes, as I was going to ask if you could do more review of these if you stay in places for longer than one night...it would give you an opportunity to visit more than one and you could compare them. Perhaps that is too an expensive an idea (dinning out all the time). Anyway, just a thought. My best wishes going forward. Where next? Fair 💨's and following 🌊's!

SORRY CANT TAKE LEOPARD SERIOUSLY AFTER VIEWING QUALITY ISSUES

I like the code zero and the spinnaker I hope they don’t become obsolete. Life is all about the journey not how fast you got there.

How is this different from North Helix?

I don’t know about the code 0 being obsolete but you do need to get rid of that “man bun/ponytail”. 😂😂😂

How deep are your pockets? I would get a the code zero. We have a self tacking jib, a code 1 and an asymmetric spinni on our Outremer. A code zero would be a very useful addition for those close reaching light wind days where the jib is just too underpowered. The code zero does not have to be very heavy if it's a string sail laminate.

i would give it a try smaller sails to handle and maybe better performance.

Theoretically the FFR sounds logical…. The question is if theory and praxis match up. This will see the future and practical tests…

Does the FFR tear easier? Do you think backwinding might be a problem?

North sails 3di are the top performance sails on the market. There will always be another company striving to be better. It could well be one sails that are a step ahead. For sure you can’t go wrong with their new thinking. Imagine the pleasure of having cutting edge sails on your amazing yacht .

Fantastic episode, Brinley now insists on watching every video with me. I wish we had footage of the karaoke night, it was the best, just sitting up the top, watching the world go by. We miss you both

Howzit guys What about a para sail there are 2 types available one will handle bigger wind speeds than the other and handle from 60 degrees up.

Always smiling from ear to ear when I watch your videos ❤

Good tips. The diagram is how a monohull moves at anchor. The anchor chain on a cat swings the same, but the cat can have a secondary swing around the bridle. ( I cannot find a better diagram on the net.) You don't notice this when you're on board a cat, I think it's most noticeable when you're on a monohull with a couple of other monohulls nearby and at least one cat. Even in a light breeze it'll often be pointing in a different direction. Code 0 or no? Haven't a clue. What I've been encountering are people saying not to reef the jib because it makes the shape inefficient. Isn't that the whole point of reefing? My friends on the Harbors Unknown just released a video on their Oxley Martin. I thought it was a parasailor because they had four sheets on it. I'm thinking that the two extra sheets cleated up front. move the vector of force transfer forward from where the sheets go through the first block (midships). This might be more efficient. Probably doesn't matter that much. They're terrific downwind sails. (And my dock mates told me about getting rid of the in boom fullers on their ketch. Hated them. Nothing but trouble -- and yep, they had one of those off brands you mentioned in a previous video.)

Thanks for sharing guys. The new breed of sails seem pretty amazing. But how robust are they??? Are you back and forth in the Med or trade wind sailing around the world. How often do imagine sailing at 50-70? If you're coming home, won't you'll be needing a selection of down wind sails?

I watched your sad VLOG about the boat fire and I'm very sympathetic. I was also very interested to hear your chat about grief after losing the boat. Maybe it's only an object, but perhaps it's something more. It represents your hopes and plans for the future. Your next boat will have an aluminium structure, perhaps as a reaction to the speed at which fibreglass allowed fire to propagate throughout your last boat. But now you have traded one potential source of increased risk (fire), for two others (corrosion and metal fatigue). Can you tell us what steps Portofino have taken to minimise their impact on your lives? Your boat will be built in 5083-h1116, which is an alloy recommended for boat building, so maybe corrosion will be very slow, but corrosion is relentless, like gravity. And the three things that promote corrosion are concentration, temperature and time. As for metal fatigue, I expect you will maximise the radius on all openings and provide structural support to minimise the amount that panels flex when subject to cyclic load. It's not my field, but I'm keen to learn about the design choices made for your next boat.

Yes a lighter sail is better but issue with a heavier sail like the code zero is that the materials are stronger and when the wind pick up, you have less chances of blowing it.

Forget code 0, get some Cretan olive oil. 😁

too complicate.

I have a code 00.. smaller...easier to use and furl. We can carry it very high. Powers up quickly and is a great sail...

fabulous show 🙏

I don’t know what sail you need but that salad looks delicious 🎉

Hi barefoot doctors, it’s so wonderful to see you working together with all those big smiles on your face and I can see the love you have for each other it’s fantastic. Keep up the good work always love the videos Cliff from Australia

I'm interested that Elizabeth is a doctor of Metaphysics. Woody Allen, one of my heroes, studied Metaphysics at college and it didn't go well for him. In his final exam, he was given an "F" for cheating, because the invigilator caught him looking into the soul of another candidate.

Best of luck. You've done the research, so you've maximized the chance for success. Cheers

sarcastic pratt.remember these insults when she is gone .

Typical pony ish tail dark glasses heave weight arm crushing his gal. they are out there .

👍🏼

He's going to pick up sh!t with all those complicated systems, KISS. These owners moan about performance yet they add a massive arch with loads of panels and a centre consol tender and wonder why the boats a hobby horse.

I hope you gave Enrico a thousand euros for his time. He saved you so much time and having to deal with arrogant manufacturers
