The "Just Sailing" series are back, just sailing footage, no blabla, just boats on the ocean and (almost) no music (for now at least, I'll see). Enjoy PS: those AI generated thumbnails are cracking me up, I'm saving all of them for a future debrief video. PS 2 : if you are the guy in the second picture and AI stole your face, I'm sorry

2 ways to approach splicing : First one is to get your own kit, some dyneema braid, and start splicing, doing your own shackles, lashings... etc. This is the kit I've put together and that I'm using on a daily basis : https://www.svb24.com/product/524342?stm=thesailingfrenchman-rigging-splicing The second one is to mix this kit with some already spliced shackles and loops that will help you troubleshoot pretty much any situation with your running rigging. Soon more tutorials about basic splicing to come, stay posted https://www.svb24.com/en/category/boat-rigging?stm=thesailingfrenchman-rigging-splicing https://www.svb24.com/en/category/rigging-splicing-accessories.html?stm=thesailingfrenchman-rigging-splicing

Alright, this one is for the boat geeks, let's talk about how an autopilot is wired, how it interacts with all its various elements and most importantly how to service it. The pushrodd we talk about is the Raymarine Type 2S, there are many others, but this one is one of the best in my opinion.
