We picked up my new sails in Thailand!

Hi everyone!

Join me and Silje on our journey to Phuket, Thailand, to pick up the brand new sails at the huge Rolly Tasker Sails factory! None of us has ever travelled this far from Norway, and what an experience it turned into:)

Enjoy!

Lovely to see Silje again.

No excuses now for leaving the mainsail up too long, Erik 🙂.

Memories of Phuket are back! The Rolly Tasker crew helped me ever so much. Getting a 47' yacht ready for an Ocean passage.

Love how you are branching out into different subjects and locations while staying true to no bullshit, just sailing. Always looking forward to the next video!

Oh my. I was expecting Pina Coladas & Margaritas to come out next!🤭 Great adventure and great video! Wonderful to see Silja still with us and beautiful new sails, too!!

Erik it’s so great to see that smile on your face. Amazing that it has all worked out and the boat is back and even better. Looking forward to the next video 🤜👍

Erik and Silje, what a great trip to Thailand! I've never been but my Thai boxing instructor is a Thai national.
Love the new sails and the combination of the dacron and dyneema. The dacron gives it longevity and the dyneema makes it stiff and strong. Love the 3 reefing points, the Harken sliders, and the new lazy-bag. I have a similar lazy bag system on my boat with lazy-jacks guiding the mainsail into the bag. Works awesome. Plus, the ability to drop your main in a hurry with little friction is an added safety feature when you're single handing. Now, get some deck organizers, some rope clutches, and run your running rigging back to the cockpit so you never have to go on deck again!
The Rolly Tasker loft was AMAZING. Especially the rigging shop with all that 'boat jewelry'! I just salvaged about $2000 worth of fittings, blocks, snap shackles, reefing gear, and a newer boom off a boat like mine in the harbor that had been severely neglected for years. Our city condemned it and told me to take what I wanted. Just removed my winter cover today. We had over 2 meters of snow in January so it's been a rough winter! It was record snowfall, but we tend to get a lot of snow here in southeast Alaska because we're in a fjord on the ocean!
Glad to see Silje again! Looks like she really enjoyed the trip, the snorkeling, the sail loft tour, and the fast boat! Will be putting my sails back on in the next week or two and will be hoisting my NBJS burgee for the first time this year, next to my American flag!
Stay safe, snap into your safety lines, and keep the fantastic content coming!

Loving the bright orange trim on the sails, I first saw this on Excess catamarans and I personally think it is really cool. Then…… I saw the preview of the catamaran sailing in the caribbean and I remember your Cyclades charter. Top tip… don’t let your wife/girlfriend experience catamaran sailing if you really like sailing monohulls. The wasp in your ear will never go away lol

[michaelvanwinkle]

The sails look very good! I really like the video shot of you and the boat sailing away with the new sails working well for you.

[timcraven]

Fantastic Cinematography!! Thank you Erik. Amazing!

[johnbaxter]

Fantastic video, Erik! So impressive to see the new sails.

[mattdoherty]
