Nestor, l awoke from a nap after watching a few of my favourite “ sailing “ channels on the weekend, when the you tube algorithm, brought you to my big screen, your inside the boat expressing your absolute genuine joy and thrill at sailing,then it cuts to some very serious seas, OMG😁. Looking forward to watching you sail, learn and explore. Carpe Diem dude.
Part 2 is a must see. Great to know that you are gaining more experience as a sailor, Nestor. Love the Dolphins. Another terrific video. Thank you for sharing with us all. Keep well and safe. James.
Well done those first passages are exciting and memorable. Tip for night sailing, a mug of tea and some homemade fruit cake as the sun comes up starts the day nicely😊. I can see you going on to greater things, take care 👍
When you wrap your tether around the jack line like that you risk the tether being cut through by the friction a fall will produce. It’s actually really amazing how quickly a webbing strap can cut through (under body weight friction) against another webbing or rope. 3-4 feet of friction is more than enough. It’s killed many climbers over the years. I’m a climber and not a sailor but the dynamics are identical.
This is a terrific bit of filmmaking and a great edit. It's then your enjoyment of the journey and your wonder of the sea that makes it work. I've always had that same affinity with the sea, and I've been sailing dinghies and boats since aged 13, so this was heart warming to watch. PS, and haha, your deck often looks a bit cluttered in some shots - and I'd point out tidying sheets and halyards is maybe as important as clipping in your safety line. Just saying. PPS. I was also hoping you'd be sent up the mast to cut that spinnaker free. If you are still on this boat then can we have some footage from up there please? (I used to love fitting aerials and doing other masthead work, when I worked in a UK marina - but it's also a great camera shot from up there, and I see the mast here has steps, so that helps when winching the bosun's chair. ) PPPS. A head torch is very useful when night sailing - and especially when picking up a mooring late at night. PPPPS. (Which sounds like a medical problem) We once sailed out of Hout Bay in Cape Town, and the two South Africans on board said it was a good idea to fish off the stern as we headed north to Dassen Island with a following Sou'easter. The one newby on board took a turn on the fishing rod, and immediately hooked a tuna. It took some landing but that fish fed the whole crew that night, and for the next day or two.
So glad you enjoyed it. And all very good points you’ve made and thank you, I love getting tips on how I can do things better. I’m no longer with the boat but I’m sure I will get that footage one day. Yes I didn’t have quite the luck with the fishing! Sounds like an amazing place to sail.
9:00 The best way to take in your mainsail is to heave-to. Bring her up on to the wind, then tack but leave your headsail cleated on the old tack. Now release your mainsheet and push your tiller hard down. The boat will slow down and ride easily about 60° - 80° off the wind with the jib aback and the mainsail largely blanketed by the jib. You can now drop the mainsail and, as it comes down, progressively take in the mainsheet and centre your boom. Secure your main, take your headsail across, pull your helm up and you’re back off downwind again. Three minutes, tops, if you’ve done it a few times. Heaving to is in danger of becoming a lost art in this age of scheduling and fixation on time and speed. Most boats will fore-reach at something like a knot or two, when hove-to, but with considerable leeway. In a seaway, it may make it possible to cook in conditions that would rule it out, otherwise.
Fabulous!!! I paused Joe Biden’s DNC speech when I saw your video pop up. So, there you go 😂😂😂 ! Excellent sail, my grandfather, who sailed around Newfoundland many times would have had a big smile watching your video ! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Well done Nestor, what's in the emergency throw bag I saw attached to one of the ropes, is that like a man overboard thing? I haven't seen that before.
Where did you get that red ensign from mate? The 🇬🇧 flag has been sewn in upside down by the looks of it? Strange how I noticed it as I’m a boatman and we moor up Tankers which come from Milford and the last time I noticed a flag made up like this was on a Bro Tanker when it docked. ⚓️🦈.
Im always surprised to see people towing their tenders (dinghies) in anything outside fully protected waters. The same goes for all the clutter in the cockpit when the weather is anything but fine; a potentially quick way to lose kit. Life lines should also be arranged to prevent crew from actually going overboard.
What a great adventure taking on the elements of the sea! Great video!
Thank you!
Live your dream sailing. It's fun watching!

Thank you!
This is ace mate, more plumbs than me at 17 that's for sure! God speed and all the best
Well done Nestor. I’m filled with admiration and support for you. Plus , your Moody is indeed a fine vessel of a “ beast “ !
Thanks! It’s actually a friend of mine’s whos just taking it up to the Faroe islands!

…..like yacht deliveries 👍👍 Speak to Roland if u get the chance (Neyland)
Nicely done Nestor!
Thanks! Been really enjoying watching your videos and glad it all seems to be going well!

Thank you for this, really appreciate getting tips.
Great, can't wait for part 2.
Great to see a young man following the rules. well done, Nestor😅
That zoom in at the shipping forecast lmaooooo
Thank you for sharing!
Great vid. Good training, only way to learn is to do it. I'd look at an alternative to towing the dinghy when outside.
Good job, Love it.
I never done a solo adventure, and at 17?!?!?
You are brave! I good job!
Sorry it wasnt solo!, I was with someone else but they didn’t want to be on film 👍 But thanks for commenting!

Cracking video. Thanks 4 the upload. U just got a new sub
Thank glad you enjoyed it!
Nestor I have to tell you you do a GREAT job not just sailing, narrating etc. I can see you're in your element.
Thank you!
Thought for one min you were crossing in that laser... Dont even think about it even if its closer to the fish! Take care Mr
Nice looking loose footed main !!

Thanks for the tip! Really appreciate it. Never sailed with in mast furling before so completely new to me! Thanks
Awesome video 🎉

Ha!, Thank you!
Nestor sounds like a young Richard Branson when you listen to him talk.
Thanks for great video.
Please tell your boat model and size?
Thank you, its a moody 36

Thanks, it’s a throw like if someone goes overboard
@@nestorandhisboat Ok thanks for your reply

6:03 bloody seahorses 🙃
What kind of equipment do you use to film?
Just a GoPro
That's what's up! 🤙
Nice video

That got intense for a spell
Sailing brothers say hi!!!
Spinakers are always a nightmare id never use one
Here to and he'd already acknowledged dark clouds ahead, then they put it up?
Nice one.
Hopefully you’re using my pee advice 🤣
Is there someone else on the boat? Or is talking on the radio?
Yes there is someone else, but understandably they didnt want to be on youtube
What design is the vessel!???
a moody 36
I have a deep water mooring in North Wales mate. Contact if you need to use it
Thanks for the offer but am no longer there!
Wish I was together as you!!
= 20 hours. LMSFAO!!!!!
Nestor, do you have a partner or someone? You were talking to someone.
Yes, I was sailing with someone who is going round the British isles!
Great video!🎉
Thanks for great video.
Please tell your boat model and size?
