2018 Seminars

Hey, I've been meaning to ask....are these the same links each time or do you have to create a new one?
 
Hi there I am looking for a ride from downtown San Francisco and back to either San Francisco or ideally Sausalito.
Thanks

Each individual webinar has its own link.
I can create an outward facing "channel" for SSS that would make these publishable & searchable, but I have not done so as yet.
For now you need to register to view either live or the recordings.

For convenience, here are the links to the previous 2

you'll want to scrub through the first 10 minutes or so of people standing about talking... and there is about a 2minute gap early on due to a battery issue with the camera... apologies for that unforced operator error.

Best,

Thanks for sharing. They covered all the essentials. Here's a picture of my jib halyard at Nawiliwili. I replaced it with spliced wire for the sail back to the mainland. Chafe on everything was our number one issue. Inspect what you can everyday and address it right away. Make it part of your daily chores then you can rest.IMG_20170727_083552454.jpg
 
Good day ... there were few words about chafe protection during this seminar. There were talks of tape. I looked stuff up and there's stuff like U-line, cheap, and PROtect, expensive. What was recommended?

I can see that I'll need some under the boom for the spinnaker sheet, maybe along the lifelines, the shrouds and then the forestay (When I have the spinnaker pole squared back the spinnaker clew chafes against the forestay).

Maybe there are different recommendations for the different usage.

Hi Philippe -
The conversation was about Teflon and UHMWPE [Ulra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene] tapes.
here is a pretty comprehensive conversation about the differences between the 2 types.

Thank you ... Is there any brand that anyone recommends? My main concern is spinnaker lines chafing on lifelines and under the boom. But I'm sure there'll be more after a few days at sea.

I'm planning to update the website and just wanted to confirm that the SHTP seminar and the Corinthian skippers' meeting would be on the same night. Is that correct?
 
The Return Trip and Logistics

2014 Photo of Brian Cline aboard s/v Maris crossing the finish line in Hanalei Bay. Source of the photo is unknown. Maris is a Pacific Seacraft 24' Dana, and Brian sailed home from Hanalei Bay. He will talk about his return at the seminar. Also on hand will be Mike Cunningham, s/v Jacqueline, who will elaborate upon his extended time in Nawiliwili Harbor after the 2016 race:

“I was having the time of my life during the two weeks I was there. Wake up in the morning, watch the fishing guys go out, do a boat repair or two, walk around the harbor, get some ice, get some beer cooling, complete the log and journal, drink cold beer, shower, rev the fan up, watch a movie, hit the sack...repeat.”

Also on hand: George Lythcott, s/v Taz!, recidivist Transpacker and source of much knowledge,

Brian Boschma, s/v Red Sky, creator of the Pelagic autopilot, Transpacker who has sailed back and forth several times from Kauai, and miscellaneous other singlehanders who have lots of answers about logistics and etc.

I am going to miss the cruise in. The real Jacqueline and I are going to Australia for a few weeks. My BIL and SIL want to show us Tasmania where they plan to retire. Sounds like it's pretty cold down there even when it's warm. Windy as hell too. Anyway, wish I could be with you guys, Gordie built me a great, flame red, erud. I was looking forward to showing it off. Oh well.

That is a shame. There is a prize for the most beautiful erud. And yours so certain to have won.
