Nyc to Ireland, in37mins? Fair play boys ☘️
A good skipper always has a bottle of Locktight at hand to lock screws, bolt & nut.
Here is a tip from a sailor and photographer who has flown in and out of 30 countries with tons of expensive gear. Pack a starting pistol in your bags and declare it to TSA, they seal and tag your bags especially well so they are not lost. A starting pistol is not considered a gun, I know weird right. I've never lost a bag in all my travels, at foreign ports they look at it the same way, I tell them I referee boat races. Since you cannot carry firearms on a boat without serious consequences the starter pistol in addition to your flare gun can act as great deterrents if needed.
That is actually a great idea!
You can carry firearms aboard as long as you have the paperwork for them, what happens on arrival depends on the country. The only place where i had to surrender them was in Japan (Hakodate), where you have to declare what you have before arrival, including ammo, then everything was taken to a police station, inspected, counted and locked up. I still have the little receipt. On departure i had everything returned on an police van, they made a big show of opening every box, examining every bolt and piece. They also opened every box of ammo and counted out every single round, my dinette looked like an armory, it was hilarious.
On the other hand, in Spain, the customs guys that received us was just like "just make sure you take them with you when you leave and don't mention to anyone that you have them".
Always make sure that you know before arriving what you can and cannot bring with you and have all your paperwork ready and at hand and you'll be fine.
False. Many countries consider starter pistols firearms. They carry identical restrictions and penalties.
@@ebersegui I'm a allowed to keep my shotgun on my yacht if I decided to dock in the UK?
you tied the boat lines well enough he is gonna reset the lines anyways lolthanks you two for sharing a big part of your lives on a northaven tank as you called the habaseas
Wow. You guys are brave
so amazing, glad all went well, thank you for allowing us to see this type of trip, really sparks the dreams!! great crew!
Thanks for the realities of a crossing
The laundry at the end was pretty funny. I know all too well about passages where everything gets wet.
There are only a few better things than dolphins coming out to greet you into port.
Great trip. Thanks for sharing.
Stay happy. Stay sailing. Peace.
A big blonde on her back wi nae alan wickers !!
@@andybrands1883 that woman is cute as hell.
Wow..and you did it in a fairly small craft!good for you!!!!! I enjoy ever second on it ,thank you from NJ
Beautiful boat, the Sigma 41
Nice video, I have been fishing of the Grand Banks in July and seen ice on more than one occasion. Glad you had a safe passage.
Yes and they joked about it
What a great video I've never done sailing what a great experience you guys had wel done 👍
Glad you guys were safe. Russell Crowe got lost in Long Island Sound a few years ago. He was kayaking and had to be rescued by the Coast Guard. True story.
This really interests me, something I really want to do one day in my lifetime, thanks for sharing :).
Best sailing channel on UA-cam hands down. Always entertaining, always inspiring, a heartfelt thank you for sharing your lives and experiences with those of us unable to live the dream. My very best to both of you from Canada
Great video guys! Felt like we were on the journey with you. Not sure what's wrong with the 72 people who disliked it....
Jealous
What a great video ! TY for taking the time to share . I really felt anxious when that drum was coming in to sight as it looked like a Life raft.
Great video. Well presented. I like the attitude of all of you on board. All the best.
What an adventure! Thanks for the great video
Wow, great vid. I think you guys had a very competent crew and safety vs. speed was guiding your decisions as it should have been. Congrats on the successful crossing. You should all be proud. Looking forward to the next vids.
Thanks so much to share your sealing experience!
Fantastic informative video guys. Really enjoyed the build up to the start of the voyage & blog for each day. Glad you made it all safe to the emerald. Look forward to your new Bora Bora videos soon. Cheers...Simon.
Miss the prettier half, but REALLY enjoyed this video. Thanks for the work you put into it.
It's been 30 years this past June - July since I did a similar trip from Marblehead to Crosshaven on a C&C 40. 21 days at sea. Thanks for the video, brings back fond memories. (Except for that gale that blew for 3 days, living in foul weather gear and never being dry, no shower because fresh water was for drinking,, strapped into life harnesses while on night watch.) As Ted Turner once said about sailing. The most expensive way to travel last class. :-)
This may inrerst you regarding even more basic ways of crossing,"The Silver Tear"www.kennellyarchive.com/video/Atlantic-Voyagers/
Brilliant! Definitely worth the wait! 👍
I would be too afraid to sail the open ocean like that!
Don't be silly!
I'm on a sailboat UA-cam binge. Thank you for making this. Seems like alot of things to consider when sailing.
I really enjoyed this ...I loved seeing the preperarion before the trip so many thought processes between everyone working as one ... It was like a TV show to see what you as a captain and crew have to discuss analyse and understand ...you all worked together really well very intelligent and a successful group of Mariners ...Thank you the build up was excellent a lot of vids leave out the background planning thought processes which are the actual elements that will make or break a successful voyage thank you for your hard work and filming so that we land locked can feel and see what it's like !!! The whole Voyage was really interesting I mean you encountered what you thought could be a life raft but you reported that there was Danger for all shipping .... I would have liked to seen more interaction on the voyage but it was defiantly well edited and thoroughly enjoyable ALL !!
Shaft alignment should not be out beyond point 003 of an inch. Shaft alignment needs to checked and corrected every time the boat is hauled and put back in the water - check on relaunch. Failure to do this and allowing the engine to run with an out of alignment shaft will cause unnecessary engine bearing wear and can actually cause the shaft to break in half, which I have seen happen. The best solution is to install a flexible coupling. It will cost several hundred dollars but will save wear and tear on the shaft and engine and cutlass bearing, do away with the need to realign the shaft, and reduce vibration of the whole drive train and the boat.
In the end we got it perfect, but man, it does take some time.
what a weird video recommendation from youtube but thoroughly enjoyed it
Well done to you. What an achievement. Great watch 👍
Beautiful
That tank should show up on radar.
Not necessarily in large swell
Lovely video ... cool people too!
Roger that xx
Great video thanks from the Isle of Wight
Awesome vlog guys loved it that's what life is all about....
Are you planning to sail around New York City? Be sure to read about all the sights to see and plan your route perfectly. Sailing New York is one of the most amazing experiences you will ever have. Get all your sailing and safety equipment from a marine store.
CORRECTION: There is probably nothing more beautiful and adventurous than crossing the Atlantic on a sailboat. And of course it is a challenge on all levels, physically and mentally. Small spaces, like a slightly smaller sailboat, are the perfect place for tensions and conflicts to arise. Facing a situation like this is a great challenge for anyone. It would be interesting to hear what everyone involved in this Atlantic crossing has to say about themselves and the crew on board. It would be interesting to know a little more about how they prepared for this trip. Or if they have even mentally prepared themselves for it? It would be interesting, for example, to know a little more about their thoughts, feelings, training and career.
great watch some unusual sail combinations
Wow! By looking at the speed of their boat, I was wondering if they were using a motor or just sails!
We only used the sails!
Great video....I enjoyed !! Greatings from NY
Pretty cool guys... Here I am in Vigo, Spain up north and I would love to do something like that.... go and visit my family in Boston. One day by boat.
Nothing wrong with filming a sunset at all; it isn't boring. Now a sunset w/ a whale tail as he's diving...that is the ultimate.
Crazy I’ll never ever attempt crossing Atlantic 😂 good luck be safe
Joy Of Life
You made it look easy
Awesome vlog
Wonderful!!!!!!
I have been there with the crew arriving and the airline losing the bag. Trying to get the airline staff to grasp that they are leaving on a boat and won't be returning to the city was like a major effort. First they said we had to keep coming back the airport each day. We pointed out we didn't want to spend our time driving 4 hours back and forth to Panama City airport each day. So they said they would deliver them to our hotel when they arrived (seemed unable to comprehend that we would be sleeping on the boat), then they said they would deliver them to our marina. They just couldn't grasp that we would be sailing away and not returning!!!!
"We get on boat. We sail on boat to other continent. Boat no come back."
Some ten years ago, friends were sailing their 43 footer from Bimini to Miami.
About the half way point, they struck a partly submerged, floating shipping container in the middle of the night.
It made an 18 inch hole on the side of their boat, just bellow the water line.
They could see the Miami Beach lights when the US Coastguard picked them up as their boat sank.
You have to be VERY, VERY, VERY CAREFUL.
Were they not being careful? Or would being very, very, very careful had made the hole smaller? I don't understand.
@obrbob194 Just an exercise in the futility of platitudes.
Incredible
Did you berth in Crosshaven? Looking to do it myself some day, I live in Cobh, biggest departure point to New York 100 years ago
Excellent vid
Great voyage, thanks for the vid, learnt a thing or two. No Radar aboard: Radar could of detected that big steel tank!
Idk why but sailing across the ocean solo is something i have to do before i die. I just have to. I am learning sailing but i jave a long way to go.
A rocket launcher would have come in handy for that menacing stray tank. Glad you all got back safe and sound. Cool video.
Josef K 72 - and, if the tank has a nice mix of leftover fuel vapour and oxygen inside (quite likely) you get a wonderful explosion and shrapnel shower, to liven up a boring night! 😄
I wish I had a sailboat and could do this
Magic!
Awesome journey
to heal burns the beaten egg white and apply on the grinding skin ....It heals in a short time .... and more pain
good stuff
Very good
I was curious how long it took and how much water you went through with a crew of 4.
To me on a boat that size is just asking for yur passing its just crazy one big wave and its over for u
This size boat is a cruise ship. MANY much smaller boats have made this journey safely. Lookup “Tinkerbelle” a 13’ Daysailor made USA-England without a scratch with a competent sailor from Cleveland Ohio!
Surely Godzilla is every sailors worse nightmare.
Or the Kraken maybe....
Informative and entertaining. I like that you talked about the sails and wind and water temp.
That guy caught the fish cleaned it and cooked it.......but did he wash the dishes ?
just lean over and the waves ( natures dish washer) does the rest ( hold on tight )
Yes!!! been waiting on this
Omg can I come next trip?
Would the Radar not have picked up that floating metal container at night? Are there any detection systems that would have picked it up?
A good radar might well see it on a day like that, but not if it were rough. It would be completely hidden in the swell. Also many yachts don't have radar or the power to run them all the time. Thanks for watching.
Sailing SV Bora Bora one would think that insurance companies would complain about vessels not having radar while sailing or motoring on open water. As well, owners/captains would think that radar would be a wise investment to have on board while away from shore.
Thanks for the vid, really enjoyed it.
Well done 👍👍👍
stocking larder for heavy weather sailing - ice cream bars, soda pop, junk food and more space / weight wasting junk food
Great video, I didn't know there was that many Dolphins in Cork!
so cool..
Maybe I missed it but how long did the trip take?
23 days.
So there is something to be said for the safety of a steel yacht.
Steel or any other material. A small vessel will be damaged..
@@antoncarmoducchi6057 Sorry it is a silly statement, lead does not float either , the material that the boat is constructed of matters little with Archimedes principle, it is different for raftamarans. Steel is a far superior medium for strength when plowing into an object and still be floating.
If I was taking a trip like this, steel would definitely be considered.
I wonder if you can comment on why you chose this (northerly) route over the (supposedly easier) Bermuda - Azores crossing? We are a British couple and have (so far) sailed our CAL 34 down the North American West Coast from Vancouver, Canada to Acapulco, Mexico with a plan to be in Panama by years end. From there, we are undecided whether to turn left (Atlantic) or right (Pacific), or simply to sell our current boat and buy something bigger. Either way, our ultimate goal is to get back to Europe and the UK within two years. We would probably prefer to head across the Atlantic (half the distance) but had excluded your northern route, as too big a challenge for boat and crew. How came you chose this route? Was it for the challenge or were there other considerations? Any thoughts on passage planning?
Evelien was the skipper, and I hope she doesn't mind me answering for her. They had a wedding to get to in Ireland and therefore I think it was just a question of time. The route from NY is easily broken up via Bermuda or the Azores, or both, but bermuda is a Long way south and the Azores at that time of year are surrounded by a high pressure you can't sail in and out of. Plus the further north you go the shorter the distance along a latitude. But as you saw we had to detoure around weather instead, but 23 days ain't so bad considering! Fair winds on your adventure wherever you choose to go.
@@sailingsvborabora8712 Thanks for your insights. I value your opinion. Yes, 23 days is impressive compared to the time I would likely have to factor in for a Bermuda - Azores crossing.
@@stephenburnage7687 The Bermuda Azores route is usually best as a Spring departure route. we left at end of April and arrived in Portsmouth July 5th. We ended up missing out Bermuda as the weather and sailing was so good we pressed straight on to the Azores. We stayed in Horta the best part of two weeks because we did a crew change there. We also stopped off in the Scillies for a week for R + R and Falmouth to visit family before have a leisurely coast hop to Portsmouth. Once you start to get into hurricane season most of my sailing friends seem to prefer the northern route, especially once the Azores High starts building.
How long did it take you, as im thinking of wales to texas
23 days. Wales to Texas, that's one to go in the book for sure.
Sailing SV Bora Bora yeah the trip be a long 1
Good job mate!
Best sailing video thanks from Alabama
Had to edit... autospell sucks
So Ben, after that long experience which helm position do you prefer? The exposed helm or Bora Bora’s pilot house?
I'll stick with what we have I think.
@@sailingsvborabora8712 you guys have a sick boat btw
Nice video, congratulations! Quite a feat.
cutting across the curved lines on a map actually increases the distance. its easier to plot using a globe. its hard to understand that the curved lines are actually straight
Great stuff. Did you have a satellite connection for weather updates while you crossed?
Yes we had an Iridium Go with a Predict Wind subscription
with this floating tank wow that is creazy one hit and game over I am buying steel or aluminium boat for sure
CHRIS198490 glass and carbonfiber is stronger than aluminium. Look into aircraft design. All in carbonfiber now
@@21stCenturyWarlock you mean gpr is stronger than alu ?
@@21stCenturyWarlock they are not stronger against impacts because they don't have any elasticity to store the energy, aluminum bends not cracks.
@@lachlanoneil8938 Yes, correct. But I believe GRP is even more flex. Thats why they convert alu to carbonfiber on airplanes. And also because of lighter weight
Aske Mouridsen Hi Aske. There is another important reason aircraft designers choose carbon-fibre composites for aircraft construction rather than steel and it has nothing to do with impact resistance. Hint: think gravity. 🙂
Cool
in 18 :52 you guys are swimming are you stressing about sharks near you, how do you know there is not any below you ?
I think oceanic sharks are really rare and i was luck to see one, but there was defiantly that thought in the back of my mind. It's so strange to look down with a mask on into that endless blue! Who knows what's down there. # one scare a day keeps the doctor away.
Excellent :)
Might want to consider tethers in the cockpit - especially at night.
The airlines losing my property would infuriate me. It seems they would be able to achieve that with what they are paid.
You guys seemed to have taken it in stride though. Respect.
Love the video.....so interesting.
It's a shame you guys don't have a rifle of some kind....or any real way to sink that tank without putting yourselves in danger. There's no telling what they tank weighs..... A lot more than people would think.
This is are Atlantic Ocean... please reply me...
I was wondering why you did not launch the dingy and try to drill holes in that tank to try and sink it ??? Such a danger at night !!!
How many days?!
You couldn't pay me enough to jump out in the open ocean. I'm great at swimming but I'd have a constant fear of something I can't see underneath me, yanking me under, and me never returning to the surface. Terrible fear.
I guess if I row manually the boat from Philippines to USA it'll take half to near end of year
I'll have to build a mangetic alternator engine requiring no battery
Wonderful journey! Best wishes.
What if you get caught in a Hurricane that just spawned?
You try to avoid it. Heave two. Or drag a rouge (sea anchor) behind the boat to slow it down. Most blue water sail boats have weight in the keel (bottom) if the boat were to capsize it would rite itself. Just hope your strapped in.
I subscribed to your channel, and I liked this video. This video is amazing.
I have a question(which is weird):
Is it okay to sail, if I cannot swim?)
Noooooooooo!
what weather app are you using?
Predict wind
