Hi welcome aboard, we are Ashley and Eloise.
Follow along with us on our sailing adventure. This is our journey from having never stepped foot on a sailboat (April 2023) to first time boat owners. It has been a crazy experience so far and we plan to share the journey with you guys. We hope you enjoy watching our videos, and where the journey takes us. Thanks again for following along ⛵️

STRANDED at SEA on our FIRST SAIL ALONE!
Join us this week as we head out on our first ever sail ALONE from Fleetwood Marina to Piel Island. This was a much anticipated trip and we were so excited to blow off the cobwebs and get out into the open water.
Although, this journey didn’t quite go to plan, with a smoking engine and finding ourselves stuck in the channel, it couldn’t have been anything further away from what we had imagined our idyllic first sail could have been.
However after figuring out our engine problems with the help of very useful friends, and a dive in the questionable marina waters, we managed to get our plan back on track wind in our sails finally. Follow along to see how we made the best out of a bad situation. We were told sailing has the highest of highs and lowest of lows, and this video couldn’t epitomise this much more.

BOAT WORK Vol 1. TEAK RESTORATION of 30 year old SAILING YACHT
Переглядів 24 тис.Місяць тому
Join us this week as we tackle our first big project on our 48ft Franchini sailboat; restoring the teak wood on our toe rails, cockpit, and our fold down stern seats. In this video, we figure out the best process for this, which includes a LOT of sanding, come rain or shine. We learnt a lot over this week, and we felt we reaped the rewards of our work after seeing the finished result. ✨ Support...
FUTURE PLANS to LIVE OUT our SAILING DREAMS and HIDDEN SURPRISES
Переглядів 27 тис.2 місяці тому
Join us this weekend as we get stuck into boat work on our Franchini 45L, which we purchased in February 2024 as complete beginners with big dreams! We enjoyed the beautiful summer solstice this weekend on board and set to on some odd jobs which have been on our tick list. We got down and dirty in the bilges, found some hidden surprises, re-organised the galley and attempted to fix one of our h...
We're SO SHOCKED at how RARE our BOAT is!
Переглядів 34 тис.3 місяці тому
In this video we delve into a bit more about the boat and ourselves. Getting on top of the first of many jobs whilst still in Fleetwood Marina, but desperately eager to get ourselves and the boat to Glasson and really get stuck into boat work. We pull out some old blueprints and discover how rare our model of boat actually is. We hope you enjoy! ✨ Support our journey: [Buy Me a Coffee] - buymea...
The BEST but CRAZIEST decision we have EVER made: Couple buys 48ft SAIL BOAT!!
Переглядів 231 тис.4 місяці тому
After having the idea 12 months ago, and at that point we had never stepped foot on a sailboat, we took the plunge. We got our skippers license and bought the boat of our dreams.

You are absolutely amazing and have come on leaps and bounds since the Ionian Islands a year ago!! Utterly brilliant and I just adore watching your journey on here. I love the way you deal with challenges together, a perfect team!! Much love to you both ❤️⛵️❤
Hi Ashley & Eloise, absolutely brilliant video and I'm already hooked! Beautiful boat, Fleetwood Marina, and a whole load of love and goodwill. (Your chemistry together, Stewart [with his mixed emotions about the boat's new chapter in life], the sailing community pitching in to help out.) I felt every emotion with you as you shared this story. LOVE your channel already, keep up the great storytelling! God bless & fair winds, Chris 👍
Well done you two, all part of the sailing adventure. The big positive is you persevered and dealt with the situation to solve the problem. Exactly the characteristics you need to cruise on a sail boat.
that was ace proper exciting. what a first adventure.
Refreshing to see these things being uploaded, rather than only the Instagram moment! Nice one. All the best on your adventures. Will give you a follow.
Just to add, you’ve done a great job with the toe rail, very high standard of repair.
There’s always work to do on a boat, that’s why I love them so much! There’s no substitute to having to do the work yourself, it’s how we learn to look after these sea ladies. You’re doing a great job and you’re exactly right about learning every bit of the boat. When you’re in that storm and one of the systems starts playing up, you need to be able to get on top of the problem asap. Looking forward to future vids.
Great job guy's 🙌🙌🙌❤️
Great attitude you have!! Enjoy it all ❤
Hi. I've only so far watched you buying the yacht. What make is it ? Good video 🥰
Amazing!! Im loving the channel. I felt a bit anxious for you outside Fleetwood when the engine was overheating but then ecstatic for you when you reached Peel Island. I'm fully invested in your adventure. I'd love to come and watch you bring her into Glasson marina. ⛵ I've been watching a few sailing channels on UA-cam. I dont sail but love the sea. I'm feeling inspired to go can try it for myself. Keep up the great work!!
F**king each other on that deck in the middle of the sea is the real dream
You guys have an amazing journey ahead. Love what you are doing. I'm not a woodworker or a sailor, but those splits in your rail anchors won't be secured by epoxy alone. Imo you've spent all that time and effort you should have shored up the strength using some dovetail/ bowtie cuts or something. It could save your life at sea one day. I wish you guys luck and will follow your journey vicariously.
Hi guys couple of tips open the splits before you inject the resin then clamp also use the yellow grit instead of green it’s last longer
That was really good video, so happy you had a lively time out and looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!
Just watched the first one ,Awesome . What a great boat .good luck and will enjoy watching your adventures 👍🏼
You guys are so flipping cute. Keep laughing😊
"quite a low point this, isn't it.." 🤣 Well done, you two. Keeping the spirits up takes some doing in these situations, so my hat's off to you both. Never give up. Onwards! 🙂
Props to <notsure> Lady for offering the tow! Boaties looking out for each other is so key to safe and enjoyable sailing (and of course he now has a good yarn for the bar!). Well done to you guys for stabilising the situation, getting safe and resolving the issue... then going out again!
I know i don’t know you, but i felt a real sense of pride for you both fantastic video and well done😊
We were in the same place (regarding our knowledge of sailing) 7 years ago. Great video and fair winds on your journey!
trying to find an update on your sailing and cant find anything, hope you two are ok
Lovely to see you get that sail under your belt. Am sure this was a big learning experience in many ways. Looks like she needs a lift out and everything under the waterline checking and cleaning... Looking forwr to the next episode
Fantastic video guys, ultimate key is to remain calm and focused, well done 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
New test invented: slide on carpet while carrying scissors😂, and trust me a vase would be hilarious maybe if you glue it to the table
Well Done± Great film too!
I loved this video. Its great to see you taking the first steps with all of the nerves and excitement as you push your boundaries and solve the problems that you come up against.
Good job guys! Just a friendly comment....please make it a priority to clean the mold from the canvas as it can create health issues.
Simply- well done and although you thought you panicked believe me as a retired auxiliary coastguard you didn’t I’ve seen a lot lot worse !!-you dropped your hook and worked it out and thanked the other boat and friends -so remember one day your sure as hell be helping someone yourselves -God speed and keep going Malc uk 🇬🇧
Absolutely stoked to see you guys off and running....and definitely need a bit bigger tender hahaha!!
Congratulations. Spent lots of times in Fleetwood and Barrow Channel. Well done on your first trip. Paul Shaw.
Great vlog. Real and true. Love it. Who is the singer at the end with a beautiful voice?
Although it looked stressful for you guys, that was great content :D well done for sorting it in the end
You guys are doing so well! :) Don't worry about messing up, we all do it. I've been sailing over 40 years and still cock it up in the marina from time to time! "Bollards" = "Piles". Also.. The gunk on your filler pipe for the petrol can is just the plastic bag that's melted 'cos of contact with petrol!
On yirsel
You both tackled that brilliant, you are both so endearing I just no your going to grow and grow please stay just as you are don’t let anything change you because this Chanel is so bloody genuine 😊lovely to see your mum , and yes a bigger tender lol 😂
I do not know why people are so averse to letting people have problems and make mistakes. It is disingenuous to edit out all the bad things. I watch things like this so that I might avoid some of the problems I will face when I am in your place.
Es we just edit the footage we have so it makes sense we don’t take out any “highs or lows” I guess. We do the same, it’s really good watching other people and learning from their mistakes isn’t it 😁⛵️⛵️
I can see you`ve got the right stuff guyes! We will see you somewhere on the 7 soon for sure! where are you headding and when?
Thank you ☺️ We touched on it in our 3rd video but in short the Med then over to the Caribbean for more adventures ⛵️⛵️
@@SailingSeaGypsy awsome! We're off to the Karibien this December. But we will be there for a few years exploring everything. Hope we see you there👍
From the US, I watch @parlayrevival and came across your channel. Love your story, can’t wait for the next episode. Cheers mates, job well done!!!!
Hi there both. I've just got back this weekend from my first outing on my boat (Mak Siccar) and also had an absolute disaster.. I was so crushed upon my return that I even wondered if I wanted to go out again (I will be uploading the full story on my UA-cam channel soon). However, after seeing your struggles, it quickly brought home that I am not alone, and sometimes; things just go wrong. You both dealt with your challenge in a calm and professional manner and came out triumphant. Thank you for reminding me about the power of bouncing back and not giving up. Nick
It's so nice to see two people, genuinely struggling, finding solutions and then seeing the raw emotions of succeeding! Keep it up.
Agree 🌱
Amazing Couple great to follow your journeys ⛵️🩵🏴
Thank you so much 🩵⛵️
Well done 😊
Thank you 😁
My partner says if u want to cross the Atlantic it's better to go with someone else who is experienced or with a crew as its very challenging & too much for just the 2 of you.
Amazing. You guys are the best. Every days a school day and the lessons you learn in adversity are the best lessons! Well done 👍 😊
That was really enjoyable to watch! Well done you two ❤
Sorry that happened to you guys, always good to run the engine for a bit before you head out.
Really good episode wirl wind of emotions. Good luck getting into the bedroom
Awesome, well done guys!
Thanks so much! 😁⛵️
Congratulations guys, looks 💯 % better.
Thank you!☺️
