I just purchased a 1988 HR312 and found your channel. What an excellent resource this will be! Thank you, Gabriele and Fair Winds and Following Seas to you as you begin your journey.
Every good story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. It is great to see such a happy ending. Enjoy the fruits of your labours and thank you for sharing your story.
Gabriele it has been an amazing series, I have learnt a lot over the years watching you as you have worked away. I still go back to some of your older videos while I am working on my own boat and the couple of times I have asked you a question you’ve always gotten straight back to me. I just want to say how much I appreciate all the work you put into the series and your kindness in sharing your knowledge! It’s great to know your still going to be around and I can’t wait to see the maintenance videos you mentioned.
Gabriel, you must be very pleased to have completed your 4 year project, in which you have done absolutely high quality work, and now have the time to enjoy your considerable investment of time and labour to actually get out and enjoy the sailing. So you are happy and pleased, but ‘we’ are not so happy that the videos have ended. But thank you for taking all the time and trouble to film and edit the many videos so that you could take us along with you. (Not sure if you look at SailLife but Mads has ‘finished his somewhat extensive refit’ and is actually sailing too). Fair winds and hopefully cheaper mooring fees.⛵️😀👍
Thx Norman yes long time and finally finish! I sail any weekend and enjoy a lot! Yes I know Mads has leave Denmark and already finish his project I leave a message but as usually he didn't reply or say thank.. that's life
Dear Gabriel Thank you for the huge job of documenting the huge refit. You managed to make them very personal which I enjoyed immensely. I look forward to your future posts of repairs and even a little boring sailing in your beautiful Europe 👍
Hey mate. I have been watching you from the start of your videos. First off i have to say i am very proud of what you have done and your passion for your yacht its a amazing quality that speaks tons about who you are as a person. I am looking at buying a Hallberg Rassy as i am a huge fan and have looked at every yacht builder and keep coming back to them. So i will end and raise my glass to you and your lady and say all the best and safe sailing. Cheers from the Brit in southern California.
Thank you for sharing your refit. Your Ellös looks fantastic because the perfectionism of it's owner and the quality work on each and every bit. Bellisimo ! Fair winds !
Thank you so much for sharing the journey of Ellos with us. Your attention to detail and workmanship are second to none! I wish you good luck and smooth sailing!
Wonderful entertainment Thank you for sharing this journey I have a Malo which is a similar age to your Rassy. I wish I had your patience and perfectionism. But still I learned many useful things. Happy sailing. David
This is what it has been all about. Beautiful boat, beautiful lady, Beautiful blue seas and skies, What more can you ask for?! Great video series, Gabe. Now the adventure begins. Regards, Solomon
THE BEGINNING. Having watched 4 years of Ellos videos. Congratulations on superb workmanship and fantastic results. While watching the final episode...I couldn't but REMEMBER how each item was completed as your camera panned across the boat. Fair weather, my friend.
Thank you so much for making all these videos. It's been a real pleasure to watch your progress to create a perfectly restored boat. Enjoy your time on the water Mike
I have been following you for three years and it has been a fantastic adventure to see Ellös being reborn. Thank you and I wish you a lot of fun onboard!
Dear Gabriele, thank you very much for sharing all the wonderful and interesting episodes of this refit for all these years. You really did a wonderful job. With a lot of feeling for all details and materials. Every time again. Also from all the people and companies who each made super nice contributions. You can rightly be very proud. thanks. thanks. For now I wish you a lot of beautiful and safe sailing trips. Paul
Caro Gabriele, hai fatto un lavoro formidabile, i nostri complimenti. Grazie per le molte intuizioni e i video istruttivi! Speriamo di incontrarvi nel Mediterraneo, forse ci vorrà un po' di tempo ma vogliamo essere nel Mediterraneo ad un certo punto. Fino ad allora, tutto il meglio e i migliori saluti, Rudolf + Lydia, SY Erlano HR42e
Thank you for all the great videos from the last few years. Hopefully more will follow. But now I wish you a fantastic time on the boat. She just looks wonderful!
Hey Gabriele, congratulations on finishing the refit of your beautiful boat. Nice to see her in the water finally. Thanks for sharing the journey from start to finish, including the fails, the successes and your continuing persistence towards perfection. It was very educational, and an inspiration to watch. In the future the series will add as inspiration to many a HR owner. Bon Voyage!
Thank You for sharing your top-notch refit project. You have a beautiful boat to carry you on many adventures. It was always a pleasure to watch and I learned so much from you, Congratulations and Fairwinds!
As I've said before, this is one of the the nicest looking 34 foot sailboats I've ever seen. Both in design , and all the hard detailed work you've put into her! I'm tentatively planning a Croatian charter next year and you're giving me the motivation.
A pleasure indeed to see the "finished" version of this long saga....the quotes are for the sure thing that there is always something to be fixed or improved! From my perspective, the reason I watch a channel is not only to learn, but is mostly about the person at the other end of the camera and their story. So this end of story does cause me real regret...any posts will be eagerly awaited, so thanks for the voyage so far!
Bravisimo!!! for a successful sea trail. And I let you know that from time to time I would like to see you enjoying the fruit of your labor, ma que labor, the work of art you did with that boat . Enjoy it, you deserve it
Awesome! I’m glad you are finally finished. Time to go enjoy the boat and get out on the water. Hope we don’t have to see much maintenance for a while. Maybe a video postcard every once in a while. Have fun!
We came with you happily on your journey and we loved every minute. We understand if you may now wish to sail in private. But dont think it would be boring for us. I think i can speak for all of us when we say seeing the boat in action is the summation - vindication - of all your hard work. And a joy to see. Grazie mille per lavventura!
Great great great Gabriele! Great to sea her sailing at last. Many thanks for sharing all stages of your refitting her so well. Great to see the two of you enjoying her now. And please share your new insights on the small things you’d like to change over time. You only discover them with time on the water. Best regards from Holland!
Gabriele - very well done! It was really great to watch you at work - thank you very much. I wish you with your yacht always a hand's breadth of water under the keel. I'm missing something now - but that's life and maybe we'll meet sometime ... Werner from southern Germany - I have the same boat as you .... by the way: I would be very interested in a room tour. And of course I would be very interested in your experience with all the equipment. Maybe you have time? I am very confident that I am not alone!
Wow Gabriele, so happy to see the last items being completed and of course seeing you enjoy the boat! Such a reward for you after all that hard work. Fair seas and I will wait patiently for your next video. Time for you to enjoy. Thank you for all the informative content over the years.
