I like watching videos of people sailing. I like this one the most, because there is not talking and all of the shots are what I would want to be looking at if I were sitting in the boat
Thankyou for the detailed breakdown of the passge. Makes ut much more interesting. I must admt I would be worried about something breaking on aday like that.
Earlier in the trip round Britain, I had even rougher weather than in this video. I normally will sail in winds forecast to force 7. However on this trip, I had force 8 on four days including this day and one day it reached force 9. I have raced in winds of up to force 12 in the past, but very few cruising sailors ever sail in a full gale, especially in coastal waters. I have great respect for the forces of nature, but I enjoy heavy weather sailing. Breakages are rare in a well maintained boat, but in the past I have experienced a broken mast, broken rudder, numerous spinnaker wipeouts, groundings. All of these events have helped me not to worry about what might break, but know if something happens, it is just something that needs to be solved quickly.
Learning to sail is a steep learning curve. Takes things at a steady pace and learn the basics of handling a boat and setting your sails. Progressively add other elements like navigation and visiting different harbours or anchorages. Over time you will get some rough weather, but with basic skills should see you safely home. Never be afraid to ask questions on sailing forums like the Practible Boat Owner or Yachting Monthly ones. I regularly contribute on both as Concerto. If you do see one of my posts, then click on the photograph and then the about tab. This will bring up a complete list of links to things I have online including the renovation work I have undertaken to Concerto, all the UA-cam videos and all the threads covering my single handed trip Round Britain via the Shetlands. This link is the start of the Round Britain trip. forums.ybw.com/index.php?threads/round-britian-day-1.582900/
Nice…the whole point of a sailing video is to see the boat travelling through the water with out too many distractions, like music or endless chat. So thumbs up for achieving that. It looked a bit choppy in the overfalls off the lizard …. But looked like a fun ride.
Thank you. I believe music and too much voice is a distraction in any sailing video. The overfalls at Start Point were even rougher, but it was dark by then so I dropped off a few waves with a bang.
My sailing started in 1965 and in the late 1960's and through to the 1980's I raced a lot round the cans and offshore in a wide range of winds and boats. It was this period that made me a sailor, not a day like this one. My experiences mean I make sure my current boat is equiped and laid out to my requirements. Safety equipment has been renewed and improved, including new stanchions and lifelines. All the winches are self tailing and oversized, and so on. Concerto is a very well sorted boat during my ownership and many other owners seek advice to sort their boats to sail as fast as I do.

I also hate seeing bikini clad bimbos, hearing music, someone rambling on about themselves and people expecting you to fund their life style.

I try to learn sailing this year. Thank you for sharing video

I would never get on a sailboat in the ocean there's just not enough boat
That will make a sailor out of you!
