'Worst sailing day ever!' | Ep93

- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Sailing isn't all sunshine and G&T's no matter where you are in the world. We know this, but it's still a shock when the usual relaxed process of slowly traveling around propelled by the wind becomes something less than serene!

![LIVE MUSIC at ANCHOR! Incredible improvised jam session! [Ep 13]](/img/n.gif)
Great channel, thanks. Friendly advice, lose any hand jewellery/rings
Thank you Judy and Steve. The entire team at Precision Sails loves working on your sail projects. The new mainsail will be ready soon. Can't wait to see her flying on Fair Isle!
Eu e milhares de outros consumidores deste lindo tipo de programa com Veleiros carecemos da falta de opções das legendas em Português e ou Espanhol.
Todos perdemos com informações de produtos marítimos e vocês também em propaganda.
Lovely coastline. There is so much work keeping things shipshape. It also looks like hard work going against the wind but sea states determine how much you get rocked? You both manage so well and then to learn no fridge?
Over the past few years we have replaced all of our sails with Precision sails. Great company to work with and we appreciate the fact you can upgrade your sail based on use, i.e. day, coastal or offshore sailing. If you haven’t seen it yet, the owner has a UA-cam channel, I Dream of Dinghy, where he takes a large RIB all the way from Victoria, BC, to La Cruz, Mexico, to deliver new sails to Parlay Revival, another you tuber.
One of my all time favorite videos of yours, felt different, I'll have to think about exactly what made it refreshing, maybe a hint of vulnerability, or maybe just a little less produced, not sure. I would have taken the bite of ice cream with cookie, just saying, but setting a good example with discipline and will power is food for thought. Thanks for sharing!
Diesel fumes and rolling about can set sea sickness off for me
Yes diesel fumes is the only thing that has ever set me off in a heavy sea
I love Your videos and love to have with my breakfast! You are just the best representatives of what’s Best in England. You are the full package of manners so courteous and fun. A lovely combination! Thank you so much for making my breakfast time! ❤
Well thank you, but don't take Judys example and have ice cream for breakfast!
Link belts - lots of experience in the heavy equipment business and most change back to “normal belts”. They break due to grime / dirt buildup between the links. Great to have on hand for emergencies though, as for some situations where more than one size of belt used, link belts can cover you on all fronts. Great episode! Love your show!
I love your videos! So happy to hear you get a new Dingy... safe travels!
Unfortunately it requires more than just liking your channel to be a patron.
I would love to subscribe to several channels (funny how they are all about sailing) but living on the local pension does not permit it. I was also disappointed to learn how poorly the Australian dollar rates against most other currencies, so that the recipients get much less than it costs me to send it. I shall have to remain an unfinancial subscriber.
That’s fine David, we realise not everyone can do it, in fact the system is not good where creators have to rely on a tiny percentage (usually about 0.3%) of viewers volunteering to pay to watch. I think if You Tube is going to survive as a platform that has creators supplying content then it will have to make sure everyone that watches pays a tiny amount and that money goes to the creator otherwise people will not do it. We already know half a dozen talented film makers that made nice videos who have given up. I’m sure people like you would be more than happy to pay a fraction of a cent to people you watch! Anyhow we value your subscription and your comments so thank you.
Binged watched 85 episodes over a couple of weeks - now caught up with last few and can only really echo others - presentation, content and just lovely personalities are what shine through and make the viewer not only want to try this lifestyle but actually feel that they could. Just become a silver patreon as small price for the joy these Vlogs bring.
Well thank you Nick, made our day.
Great video guys!
Hi, thanks for the great video! Links belt is good for maximum profits for manufacturers but the worst for consumers as they are not reliable as *traditional* ones. You never know when they will break. I never in my life experience the breaking of a traditional belt, you just have to know when to change them. You don't have 10 differents belts on your diesel so having share ones should not be an issue. New technology is not always better but the search for max profit is ON!
Thanks Guys, your honesty is always refreshing; I think it would be easy to gloss over the challenges and just present a rose-tinted version of life at sea... And yes, it's easy to get complacent about towing the dinghy in the Med, isn't it; we've almost come a cropper a couple of times when the weather turned nasty, but we were still in "calm mode". I'm glad you enjoyed Alghero; it's a lively little town and seems to have just about everything you need. Hopefully, you've got plans to avoid the worst of the heat; I've been monitoring Cannigione (for our charter later in September), and I see predictions next week of 35, 36, and 38..! Not the best time to be without the fridge. And strangely, I've found bagged ice a little difficult to find in many of the smaller places through the Maddalena... Stay frosty..! I guess the solution will have to be more ice cream.
We've actually just been given a small portable AC unit, very good timing as it touched 40 degrees where we are in Mallorca yesterday!
The Northern Hemisphere has turned into a giant air fryer. Fossil fuel and industry lobbyists have successfully installed blind politicians. New York, where I live, with a veto proof and majority progressive legislature, was still unable to pass any meaningful climate reforms this year. Quite depressing.
Another lovely video. I always enjoy them so much. Thank you, not only for your generosity but also for the hundreds of unseen editing hours. You're both incredible (but please stay away from those cliff edges, Steve)!
If ever a couple and a boat sell the sailing life it is you two! Sardinia is beautiful…laid back…and friendly. I love the difficult videos where the seas are rough and things go wrong….a cautionary reminder to all of us. Recently I sailed from Dublin to Belfast in uncomfortable waters where I didn’t feel well. Later that day I spoke to a sailer who had to do engine repairs in the bowels of his boat….on the same passage. That would be my worst nightmare! I am in the market for a dingy in the next year. Did you do a video on your dingy? Is it called True Fit? (I found True Fit online!)
Thank you always for such wonderful productions, so effortlessly told! ⛵️
Yes I was once beaten up for 3 days in a force 10 in the Irish sea, I did smile slightly when Judy said it was her worse sailing day ever! I didn't subject her to sailing in grotty conditions in the UK, a lesson to anyone with a non sailing partner that they want to persuade to one day live aboard I think!.
The dinghy is a True Kit, there is a review on the channel. It's the best lightweight dinghy around for sure. Flat bottomed dinghys do have their downsides though, flipping over in bad weather if you're stupid enough to tow them being one of them!
Since when is ice-cream not protein ?????? Honestly Steve, catch a wakeup 🙂
The massive amount of SUGAR renders the protein meaningless in terms of timed eating/ intermittent fasting.
@@kddidit08 Ice-cream is the exception, ask anyone 🙂
I love you guys.
I could have sworn I heard you mention True Kit! 😂😂😂
They deserve every mention!
They've managed to send one from NZ to us here in Mallorca, we picked it up yesterday
That's what happens when you buy a piece of kit from people who care about what they do.
The reality of weather forecasts, so often not as predicted! That looked like a horrible swell🤢
Weatherforecasts,they are based on real-time measurements combined with longtermobservations fed to algorithmes
Well the realtime stills correct but in my opinion when the part of longtermobservations comes in …the rapidly changing climate is the gamechancher.
I think that in the future will have to deal more and more with inaccurate weather forecasts especially concerning windvelocity.
I learnt the hard way to hoist the dinghy regardless each trip! As it passed us surfing down 15 foot waves, flipped over, digging the transom in to act as a sea anchor reducing our SOW to 1.5 knots.
I didn't want to cut it free, leaving it behind for someone to raise an alarm, so took us two hours to get into sheltered water, by which time it had ripped out two of the 3 D-rings, totalling the dinghy.
Yes it’s testament to the strength of the True Kit that the D rings are still firmly in place
Hi,many years ago when I was a marine fitter, link belts were very common on the wooden anchor Seine netters for driving pumps and alternators.There was a formula for the number of links to taken out of a new belt being fitted to give the correct tension.I cannot remember what it is,but I think the name of the belt could be “Brammer”.thanks for a great film.cheers Roly 🇬🇧
You're not thanking of Fenner are you? I think that's how you spell it, that's the manufacturer we used for link belts on various drilling machines and small lathes.
Saludos desde Montevideo Uruguay, es lindo verlos son uno para el otro 😊😊
It's ALGHERO, not alhero........!!!!!!!
You are right. My apologies
I don't know how many times I have called you out for towing your dingy. If you tow it eventually you "will" get caught out. A simple davit will make it so easy you will always just lift it up. You have plenty of room for a single arm davit on your poop, guys.
How did it compare to your crossing of the Bay of Biscay?
similar
I am looking forward to Majorca as I called it home for a few years. specifically, Llucmajor so that will bring back some great memories. Love your videos.
Propper fenders you have
Well... "Punch and Judy"... sedate video. Interesting travel vlog.
I've read your Bios before but didn't watch many of your vids.
Subbed. Will be catching up on things of interest to me.
Are you planning on going to Caribbean any time soon? South Pacific?
I see that you follow Adam and Khiara and Mads and Eva.
I enjoy both of those channels. A and K are currently heading to Iceland. AD venturous!
Yes we are on our way out of the Med now, will cross to the Caribbean in the winter and on the the S Pacific
Thanks for another great video. Very much looking forward to your future adventures.Hope it's not too hot for you at present and that you get your fridge fixed soon. All the best from Eastbourne.
Thanks, fridge is fixed Hoorah! Freezer is broken Boooo! At least they take it in turns!
I bought a TrueKit after watching your review a few years ago and we love it. Great little boat and excellent customer service. What inflatable kayak do you have? Do you recommend it?
We have an Itiwit, which is Decathlons own brand, yes we love it can’t beat it for price I think.
@@svfairisle Great. We have a house in Lagos, PT and there is a Decathlon nearby. I'll check next time we are there. By the way, if you are ever in/around Lagos, my wife and I would love to meet for a beer (or meal) if we are in town at the same time. Thanks for the great videos!
Confessions of dinghy abusers.
I enjoy watching your videos. In the last two or three, your audio and video has been out of sync
That’s weird, they are not when I review them & know one else has mentioned anything.
Tenham sempre opções de legendas principalmente o português.
I thought we had subtitles. What do we need to do to help you?
And the middle windscreen wiper is toast too!😢
yup. on the list to be fixed
They are only really temporary belts to be fair. I guess if you mention the dinghy enough they might give you one?
They are certainly not temporary belts, it’s a mistake a lot of people make. They are belts used in heavy industry for all sorts of things. They are very expensive but very hard wearing. I’ve had them on for 4 years which is probably enough, they can’t take over tightening that’s for sure.
@@svfairisle Ive fitted them to machinery many years ago when i worked as a maintenance fitter. They were used when we needed to get a machine going again and we didn't have the correct size belt on the shelves. They certainly failed more quickly than the correct sized notched belt. But Ill admit that I have been out of that business for some 30 years now so maybe they are better than they were. Certainly more practical than having lots of different size belts.
Lovely. Are you able to recycle the old dinghy?
Shout out to anyone who wants it!
hello judy quand venez vous in corsica...? vous devez avoir "faim" ...de calins...!!! Steve nous filmera...! lol bernard Ajaccio
We were really sad to miss Corsica, one day!
Sorry to say im cancelling subscription as im get fed up with people promoting rubbish products insta 360 is only fit for the bin.
Don't be a dick.
