Hi Chris, My wife and I inspired a lot from your channel, and finally we bought our first sailboat this season (2022), a bavaria 38 - 2004. We also live in Stockholm and start exploring archipelago. Thanks a lot for your video and best wishes to you and Tanja. Can’t wait to watch your new videos.
Hi Pengyu, you are most welcome and congrats on the boat. New videos coming soon, just a lot of projects on at the moment. Cheers
X-Yachts has a metal cradle that takes the mast and the keel, so very rigid construction... heads high in the wind and a tall 3 spreader mast with huge sail areas. Mine was the X-442, Ioved her and did quite a bit bluewater cruising in high seas.... spent hour years on. board sailing across Asia
You are very cool and easy going people! Really lovely scenery and more from your great perspective of life. Congratulations! BTW, you resemble me a lot a cousin of mine... :)
Wow, thank you! We try to take life as it comes and make the best of it. Cheers
nice boat, socks about the sail. thanks for the videos, appreciated.
Hi Michael. Thanks. The sail has been fixed on guarantee. Cheers, Chris & Tanja
Lovely scenary! Enjoy the rides!
Thanks. Can't wait for the new season. Cheers, Chris & Tanja
Great videos. You have a great wife for two main reasons: She enjoys boating (some of my friends and me included consider selling our boats because the wives do not follow). And she enjoys a bubbly on the boat! Wonderful! I hope you had a nice winter.
Thanks for the kind words Many P, this is said wife:-) So sad to hear that you are thinking about selling your boat, there must be something about boating that your wife likes. And who does not like bubbly! Winter was long, but we are so thrilled that we can soon start the new season. All the best, Chris & Tanja
Loved the summer season content. Very interesting seeing the sailing experience in Scandinavia. The boat looks great and don’t beat yourself up over the code zero incident, sure it will be fixed back at the loft. Looking forward to getting back to our 470e and changing the saildrive leg 🤔
Hi Lee, the 470e is a great boat, I bet you love it: Thanks for the comment and advice. I will release some videos soon and you will see all was good in the end. Cheers, Chris
Nice as usual. you are good at capturing the right balance between what you do and the beautiful nature.
Thank you Henrik! Hoe you are well?! When are you splashing the boat? Cheers, Chris & Tanja
@@SailingAurora sometime in May, do not really know when. It depends a bit on how it goes with the solar panels I have to install when I changed port and probably have a little harder to charge the batteries.
Great stuff as always! Looking forward to next season
Thank you e! New season is approaching fast, so looking forward. Cheers, Chris & Tanja
Thank you so much for sharing videos of the 348! I just ordered a 2022 348 this week and should be picking her up nov/dec this year!!! I imagine I will be binge watching your videos like crazy in anticipation. Thanks again and can’t wait to see you out there! Safe travels!
You are welcome, glad you enjoy the channel. Congratulations on your new boat, that sounds great! Our's is a 418, but the 348 is a great boat! Look forward to see you out there too! Cheers, Chris and Tanja
What a great season you had. Certainly made the most of the summer. Sorry to see code zero broken but hopefully a warranty repair as brand new? Lovely to see you enjoying Aurora and making the most of her in the archipelago. Best wishes.
Hi Jon. Yes, it was a great season, and now we are looking forward to the new season, and this year with a new crew member. Code Zero have been replaced on warranty:-) Best wishes to you too, Chris & Tanja
@@SailingAurora
Chris and Tanja, Many congratulations on the new crew member! Look forward to seeing a new star in a few of the videos. Take care and best wishes.
@@SailingAurora I’m glad you got the sail replaced under warranty! Is this the first occasion? Am a bit confused as you did mention this incident a long time ago!?
Thanks a lot for your epic videos. Looking forward to your next season.
Thank you so much Gunnar! New season is just around the corner. Cheers, Chris & Tanja
Once again great video, and what a cook you have on board, she could do a cooking channel! Hope you had a safe winter and all is well with the sail issue. see you next time.
H Steven. Thank you so much. Yes, she is a great cook, and we have been thinking about filming more of the cooking, so thanks for the encouragement. Glad the winter is almost over. See you soon for a new season. Cheers, Chris & Tanja
Best wishes you two as always!
Thank you so much Greg. Cheers, Chris & Tanja
Oh yes, 17°C is still good for a swim. 😂😂😂😂Really? 😳😕
Hi Zoltan. Right now it seems like 17°C is a long way away, can't wait for the first dip of the year. Cheers, Chris & Tanja
Did you ever find out what actually happened to the code zero? Did it catch or production problem? The Wind hold on the auto pilot is also great for setting the sails while singlehanded. Just set the angle to 0 and let the engine run at low revs, gives free hands for setting the sails (no furling main here 🙂) I’ve been looking for a good iPad holder, most are plastic junk. What brand is yours?
Hi Peter, yea we found out what happened and we got it resovled. You will see in the next video. Great advice with the wind hold, thanks. Never thought of using it to set the sails... Nice! The Ipad holder brand I can't remember, just something I bought of Amazon. Thanks for the comment and advice, cheers
Ripping the Code wasn't nice, sorry for that. Hope you get it fixed. A serrated knife is best for ropes around prop, I've even used a breadknife. Sometimes a hacksaw might work. New season is around the corner, when are you going to splash? Here in Finland it's still pretty wintery, all bays still in heavy ice.
Hi Kenneth. Thank you for your kind words. Yes, was a real shame with the sail, but we had a new one on warranty, so we are all set for the new season. And we are so looking forward to the new season, thought it was spring, but we had another load of snow during the week:-( Hopefully we are ready to splash early May, we have a boat show mid May. Hope spring comes to Finland soon. Take care, Chris & Tanja
Bad luck with the code zero
Hi David. Yes, that was really bad luck. But the sail has been replaced under warranty, so we are all set to go for the new season. Cheers, Chris & Tanja
It's tempting to run the C0 without the mainsail, as it sometimes feels the mainsail is doing nothing, but you are at a great risk to overload the C0 then. I always used the sail at open waters only, where there was no risk of sudden wind shift. I also noticed you don't use a tack line and use the halyard for trimming. I suppose the roller woudn't work otherwise. You might get better performance with an adjustable tack and maybe the mainsail would cooperate better too?
Just some thoughts...
Hi there, soom good thoughts there, but you are right it would work better with a tack line but the roller woudn't work. ---SPOILER ALERT--- We have a Gennaker on order, this will solve the problem :)
@@SailingAurora I totally understand. All round genny is what I'm going to invest for this current boat too. (After a new mainsail.)
When are you going to start this season?
Soon, very soon. Just had a lot on in these last few weeks. Thanks for the interest :) Cheers
@@SailingAurora I just came back from two weeks sailing in Archipelago. I do not have the guts to sail during the busy days of July. Your videos were very helpful. Cheers.
@@mtrezaie you are very welcome. Things can get extremely busy in July, I can relate.
Long awaited video. Starting new season soon?
Hi Andy. Thanks. Yes, new season is just around the corner. We hope to splash in less than a month! Cheers, Chris & Tanja
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27)
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:26)
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
