- Crossing the North Atlantic SOLO on my 1970 Hurley 18 (5,5m) sailboat called 1/4 Life Crisis .
Einhand Nord Atlantiküberquerung auf meinem 5,5m Segelboot 1/4 Life Crisis. - Спорт
A truer Sailor 👏 shows those "luxury" yacht owners how it's done.
Sailing in high winds and waves a little boat across oceans.
So that those who ask, what is the perfect "blue water" boat can see the truth.
It's not the vessel. It's the Captain who turns ANY boat into a blue water vessel.
THANK YOU NIC.....stay safe 🙏
Respekt!!! Das ist ma ne geile Nr in der Nussschale über den grossen Teich !!!! Du müsstest dein Boot umbenennen jetzt in wundervolles leben ! Big Up !!!!
Unglaublich. Was für ein Mut und Vertrauen in das Schiff und sich selbst. Andere rüsten für 10.000de Euros ihr Bavaria Bügeleisen auf und machen daraus eine riesen Geschichte, und du setzt dich einfach in dein 18Fuss Boot und machst es einfach. Bravo. Bin schwer beeindruckt. Mein Boot ist so groß wie Deins, und ich würde darauf keine 3 Tage aushalten ;).
Hahaha danke ✌🏽 ... muss man auch nicht unbedingt machen 😅
Da ist schon mal ein 18 jähriges Nordlicht mit einer hurley 18 in die Karibik gesegelt. Die kisten können echt was ab. Mehr als mancher denkt und es bedarf wie du schon schriebst, keine 100Tsd euro Jachten 😊
The most under rated sailor on UA-cam. Bravo!
Thanks 🥳🥳✌🏽
Μπράβο μεγάλε, είσαι ο σύγχρονος Οδυσσέας των θαλάσσιων

Thanks alot ✌🏽
You are doing what you love, and sharing your experience.thanks
You will pass ver the mid-Atlantic ridge where the tectonic plates are moving apart. Also near the course where the submarine Thresher tragically rest. Our research vessel completed numerous mission in this area of the ocean. The Azores is wonderful and the people are super friendly, neat and tidy plus the food is great. Enjoy
Greetings from Ukraine for brave man! 👊
Super Nic.....

Pass auf dich auf 😊

The smaller the boat the greater the sailor!!!
Grüsse aus Italien
Thanks man ✌🏽✌🏽
Excellent, keep up the good work. fascinating video.
Thanks ✌🏽✌🏽
Die Hurley ist meiner Puma23 sehr ähnlich im Aufbau und du hast das gleiche rigg wie ich. Übernächstes Jahr möchte ich meine aufs Wasser bringen. Mein Segelwerdegang ist fast der gleiche wie deiner 😁😎
Viel spaß 🥳🥳🤘🏽
Horta is where Slocum first landed on his trip around the world in his now famous ship called the spray.
I happen to notice that you have a most interesting tiller control. Might you comment on it? You are a great sailor, brave and courageous. You are a great addition to the singlehanded list of sailors. I am to watch your videos.
Its a windpilot its hard to ecplain here .... but this will explain it
www.windpilot.com/n/wind/en
I am interested too.
😊
I love the videos keep them coming
Thanks alot !!
cool
Just found your chanel. Loving the vids so far. Floating around in my Maxi 77 at the moment. Take care.
Tahnks !! If you need a new tender my hurley will be for sale soon 🤣🤣✌🏽
I'm fascinated that you can stomach it. If you can get over the whole thing how the seas constantly push you around I guess the world is your oyster!
Cheers mate…. Live life large
My question is where do you go when you need to go to the toilet? Do you have a porta-potti or bucket or what? :)
🔄 the best!!!!!!!!
Mega Leistung! Aber auch etwas verrückt :-)
Dann muss man durch wenn man will 🤣
Nicolas, you are such an inspiration! Servus von Austria - ich hoffe auch bald am Wasser zu sein… Viel Erfolg auf deiner tollen Reise! Wenn du wieder festen Boden unter den Füßen und mal Zeit hast, würde ich unglaublich gerne von deinen Erfahrungen lernen.
Safe travels,
Johannes
Bin schon seit july wieder daheim meld dich gern per mail. Manthosn@gmail.com ✌🏽
Love your content and hope the next storm won’t be so severe. Also I wonder what wind rudder you have? Did you make it yourself?
I’d like to know what goes through your mind when you hit bigs waves and swells in an 18ft boat? I have a 27ft Westerly Griffon and nearly wet myself in 20knot winds. Really enjoy your channel hope there is a lot more to come. Good luck take care
It gets tough after some time ... I was just hoping for my mast to stay up when falling of the waves 🤣
I'm amazed by your videos, both the rigging of an ultrawide action (is it?) that makes it for gimbelled recording. Do you place a camera on a long stick or what? The horizon is calm while the boat is rocking and rolling. How do you do that? And I am equally enjoying your calm narrative. I hope there will be a book about the passage :-) And I would be one of the first to buy and read it! Best regards, Martin Wiedemann
What camera kit do you use?
I see it has image stabilisation that keeps it upright, so let’s you see how much the boat rolls around….oh dear I feel seasick just watching!
its a gopro and a insta 360
niceeee
❤️
Thank you for the video, keep them coming, waiting for the next one- muito obrigado, regards from Açores
Sometimes this looks like the Truman Show ending :)
a fantasic journey for you, total respect and so well done. as an aside what do you use for weather reports and navigation.
fair winds and so well done
I had an Inreach mini 2 to write satelite messages and a friend on land checking the weather.
:) mit vollem Munde spricht man nicht.... ansonsten sehr inspirierend, Hut ab!! 👍🏼
🤣 allein auf see gelten meine regeln 😋✌🏽
Hello Nicholas,
how did you manage your water consumption ? How many water did you have on your trip ? How many food did you have on your trip, more cans or oats e.g. ?
your trip back to europe was complete without an engine ?
What was your plan for this journey, Have you planed 5, 6 or more weeks ?
Have you ever been in danger, or very sared concerning weater conditions, big waves or bad trim from the boat or sailing gear ?
Are you still in europe ? ... what is your next plan, journey ...
Hey man
I used 2l a day and had 150l in bottles. Food was enough for ~60days mostly nuddles but also some fresh stuff.
From caribean to europe waa without engine manly becaus of weight issues.
I was planing for 50 days to france... turned out 34 to azores and 14 to france.
Greetings 🤘🏽🤘🏽
And the boat is in france but im back working :D new plans will be announced this winter stay tuned!!!
Hallo again, it sounds good , you will been on a boat again🙂, same boat same stuff !?
All the best from my side@@sailing.oneworld
A boat that small, you could row her through the doldrums
Or you just wait for the wind 😋😋
how long is the stick on the 360 cam? nice videos!
3m long
Hi again Nicolas - what did you use at the chainplate to attach the dyneema lashings?, thanks Nath
Just a normal stainless shackle
