Congratulations Norman, that was fantastic. Saw your interview with George Isted and thought that would be interesting. Video works well in that format.
I was interviewed recently by George Isted who is a very talented shipwright and runs a UA-cam channel called Refit and Sail. This is the link to our chat about my electric conversion. ua-cam.com/video/fxmw8ybw_BU/v-deo.htmlsi=Sw5Q6qob_oxTv3j9
Great film, just watched for 2nd time. What a challenge to take on. Could you do a film on the preparation on you and your boat. Congratulations again 👍
Great insight into what these passages are like for a relative landlubber! Putting the snippets together gives a good pace to the narrative. Would have loved to see a little more detail in how you managed the sails in the stronger winds regarding reefing and when just running a storm jib etc. Looks like the boat coped really well. Great video.
Was watching your interview on Charlotte and your obvious enthusiasm for sailing had me hoping you had your own channel, and hey, found this in the interview notes. Hope you post more videos of your adventures. Very curious to see how you get on long term with the electric conversion.
Thanks Norman interesting sailing, i would have like to see more videos from more jesters on the return voyage interest me, my leg from South Africa to the Azores, Azores to Scotland is the tricky part sailing my 26ft Lavernos Sloop Good News 2 single handed. Captain Cook 80 Durban South Africa
Very nice video thanks for sharing. You are a brave and very capable sailor. What type of navigation schooling have you had? Self taught? How and when do you sleep on this journey? Do you put the sails down to do so and just drift or do you remain under sail?
Well done Lotte and Skipper. I've been watching George over the last year putting her together. Now waiting for your return trip. One question, where did you get your Starlink holder. I've been looking for one of those as I have Starlink on my boat. Regards.
@ I now realise that. Just watched the UA-cam video. Excellent stuff. Seriously thinking of throwing out the iron sail and replacing it with batteries. Thanks for the Amazon tip.
Cracking video Norman, well done for the achievement, you'll carry it with you forever! Thank you for the inspiration, Chris 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for that lovely comment.
Félicitations du Québec 😊

Great first video and a very inspiring passage.
Hope to see more trips in the future.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.
Great video Norman. Brought back some memories! Combining the short clips worked well I think.
Hi Norman. Indeed, great video! Bringing back memories. Especially the mast climbing in mid atlantic.
Nice! I love the electric motor in close quarters. Just what you need!
Well done!
Nice video and nice to see another electric contessa 32 sailing 😊
Yes, still very few about but its good to see more are going electric.
Great film, just watched for 2nd time. What a challenge to take on. Could you do a film on the preparation on you and your boat.
Congratulations again 👍
Great suggestion! Probably won't be too regular but think I have more footage.
Great job 👍
Thanks 👍
Fantastic stuff Norman..a brilliant achievement

Estupend aventura. Felicidades!!

Great video.
Thank you, I didn't film much when conditions were rough.
Great video and congrats on completing the Jester challenge. Amazed to see the Starlink antennae survived being on the stanchion too :)
Thank you.

I do have some footage from my return passage but not sure I have enough for another video.
Great video
Thanks Hugh
witam zeglarza. nice sailing and vid.
Very nice video thanks for sharing. You are a brave and very capable sailor. What type of navigation schooling have you had? Self taught? How and when do you sleep on this journey? Do you put the sails down to do so and just drift or do you remain under sail?
Hi, mostly self taught and lots of advice, short naps under sail as normal. Reef down if winds are building.
Great achievement!! Do you use a Wind vane or an auto pilot (or both)..? Good luck with the return trip, I guess you are back home now👍
Hi and thank you. I use both wind vane and autopilot. I think they are both essential for long passages.
Well done Lotte and Skipper. I've been watching George over the last year putting her together. Now waiting for your return trip. One question, where did you get your Starlink holder. I've been looking for one of those as I have Starlink on my boat. Regards.
Hi, this is not the Lotte that George rebuilt. Starlink bracket was from Amazon. Grey powder coated to match the dish post
