Is she a powerboat or a sailboat? I can't see how you can ever sail towing that three-bladed sea anchor around. Good God Almighty!

Met een boot moet een eigenaar eigenlijk alles zelf kunnen,zeker als je er mee op pad gaat.

What manufacture is your windvane from? I like the minimal mounting points

Are you happy with this anchor? I just bought a used one, rocna 15 kg, but didn't have the chance to test it yet.

a reality show 😊😂🎉

You are indeed a talented young man. Well done.

Contessa 32 very famous boat ,sailed to Greenland 🇬🇱 way to the North .I read it in magazines and I was watching on UA-cam sailing video 8 months ago Extremely famous sailboat ⛵️ Greetings from beautiful tropical Hawaii islands ⛵️ 🏝

Hi Mo and Mattis Great to see your Azores to Ireland trip. I am planning an Atlantic circuit with a Contessa 32. What is your view of Hydrovane versus Windpilot. Especially dead down wind in the trades? I hope you are both well Cheers Stephen

Beautiful boat! Cheers from Poland!

I just went through most of the videos, fast forwarding some. Great story. Loved your boat work.

Great work.

Hi Mo and Mattis, Discovered your fantastic blog the other day. Your adventures up the Maroni River look amazing and has added another destination to my list. Also amazing photos! I look forward to reading about your future travels.

I need a tiller of this shape

Gee , I think ( I’m sure ) I saw your Contessa in Praia de Victoria marina when I over wintered there in 2018/19 I admired the baby blue Contessa over in the corner of the yard many times. Sorry I missed you ! Was David still there in his Rustler 31? We continued on to the Canaries and our boat is in St Maartin still.

Only took me 2 days to watch every episode! Your channel is brilliant, your smiles are beautiful, and your boat is classic. Really hope there will be more to come from you two!

So good to see you both.

Contessa 32 one of my boat crushes. Look forward to seeing the new vids. I bought a Pearson Triton 28 and working on it.

Great to see you two back on the water and that you made it home safely! Any sailing plans for next year? We sure need to meet again some time. Say hi to your family from me and enjoy the winter!

Glad to see more videos !

Nice one guys. Glad you made it. 👍🍺

Congratulations to both; you are back in Ireland. Wonderful film and inspiring experience for both. What next?

Well done! Welcome back.

Great stuff and thanks for sharing!

Tantastic 💥 My relatives had a co32 and I did my day skipper at aged 12years old(ages ago) I was always a bit spooked when conditions got rough and then I was shown a BBC documentary about the '79 fastnet race! Now that gave us an unbridled confidence,as kids,in the CO32. One summer of west coast of Scotland we'd be sailing in 500ft of water and the depth sounder would suddenly show a depth of 200ft! So my uncle would steer 15 degrees to port/ starboard and echo sounder would return to a depth of 500ft then within seconds it would be showing 200ft! It turned out to be N.A.T.O. submarines practicing hiding under surface vessels. Only logical explanation. Great channel a subb👍👍😁....

Well done guys, good to have you back.

Awesome stuff guys! Great to follow the adventure

Well done!!

Great video, you deserve more subscribers.

How much chain do you think you can carry in your contessa 32 locker?

Unbelievably beautiful metal work. Mattis can find work at any boatyard he wishes.

Hey guys, really cool videos and content! You guys still sailing..?

should have done the music from benny hill, as you went around the boat :}

Beautiful boat

A bit concerned by your chain plates. Where was she built? I am thinking Lowestoft as the Sadler built Contessa's chain plates go down to the keel bolts. This makes the boat stiffer which of course means faster and points better. Great classic, fast for her age, stable, great sea boat, safe and forgiving. Sailed many miles in them and would take them out in anything. Good luck.

Great 👍

Nice ♥️👍

Its always nice when your country is featured in videos. good job on the repairs. Your trini viewer..

In my opinion this is a very valuable video. One of my pet peeves is a winch handle remaining in an untended winch. I think this stems from an article decades ago about the dangers of reel winches, then frequently seen on main halyards. Often during reefing the brake would be eased off as a man, hands on a handle in the winch, tried to slowly lower the main. It was not uncommon for control to be lost, the main plummeting, winch spinning wildly, and the handle to be thrown, often with enough force to go right through the deck, ending up in the cabin. Injuries could be severe. I believe it was Rod Stephens who was quoted as saying, "No reel winch should ever be aboard any boat." Ever since I have regarded a handle remaining in an untended winch as I would view a loaded handgun casually left on a table in a home: an Extremely Bad Practice which will result in a very bad outcome sooner or later. Look around any harbor and you will see legions of Lubbers Afloat. How many of them do you think have ever taken apart one of their winches?

I don't understand. I have always thought the Contessa 32 was a sailboat, the finest in production today. And yet you seem to be constantly motoring. Sails furled, motor throbbing. I don't know how you can stand it. Motor out, motor in. What's the point of that? In light air you want more sail area, not less. If the wind drops, a sailor reaches for the drifter, not the ignition key. Yet I see your main furled and the clew of the headsail unrolled a few feet like a storm jib. But the air is light. My advice: Get rid of the engine. You'll get rid of half your maintenance hours and expense. Your boat will be cleaner, quieter, and a LOT faster. Your enjoyment, skill, and satisfaction will increase greatly. You'll find a different world, a different sport. (You might consider giving the laptop and jib furler the deep six as well.) Just a thought. Paul

Ahhh..., you two are my favorite.cruising couple, not in the least because you had the good sense to set out upon your voyage in a Contessa32, the modern Vertue. How I envy you: a beautiful woman, a handsome man, a wonderful boat, and the world before you, and young enough to enjoy it. Savor every moment!

Have to say I never knew that a cutlass bearing was cooled by seawater .? Thanks for,all the photos and good luck with the great boat .

Great job on the refurb - she's lookin' lovely. Other youtubers might have milked it for 6 episodes!! Fair winds ~~~_/) ~~~~~ -|--}

I am particularly interested in Contessa Yachts especially those that have been ongoing refurbishment. I am learning a lot. A schoolmate of mine in the Philippines happens to be working in the admin office of the makers of Contessas. Are you open to receiving emails from a subscriber?

You had me with the tuna and watermelon !!!cheers !!!

what a lovely boat she is ...fair winds ~~~_/) ~~~~ -|--}

Do you remember the name of the Contessa that you viewed with hairline cracks running from the chain plates to the keel? Contessa Bianca by any chance?

what is that boat in the background, looks amazing

Really pleased your channel found me...I have a question. What would you estimate the service life of the rubber convaluted hose jubilee clipped to the stern tube is..?.next to the carbon sealing rings on the prop shaft.. I only ask because I have a similar arrangement manufactured by Vetus and sometimes feel it might be a possible Achilles heel if it failed.. Your videos have such a great energy, thanks for taking the time to post.

You can see how happy he is at the lack of mould. It actually was infectuous - I found myself smiling too

loving the drone footage, please video capture your travels, thanks for sharing
