I just found your channel. Great you are describing how you sail, cook and sleep. I sail my Rival 32 solo and I do the same sleeping for 10-15 mins each time. I also have a large vacuum flask I fill with hot water before I get going then I have hot water for drinks even if it is rough so I don't need to boil a kettle again. I subscribed and now will catch up on your videos. Cheers. Andy Sussex, UK
Haha I do the same on my Rival 31, watch the flask next to the compass, I got caught out with that one years ago.
It takes me 10 to 15 minutes to fall asleep, regardless how tired i am . . . so i would never sleep
And I go days without sleeping... take hours to fall a sleep..lol..
Wow I had to play it back to make sure; 15 min snooze sessions!!!
I've drunk a bottle of chianti, otherwise I wouldn't bother to comment.
Well done my French friend tres bien!!
absolutely love you short films, cant stop watching them< thank you
Who is here in 2020!! Some real sailing inspo for when we can leave the house again
2021 now and I'm watching it again for some inspiration!
I crossed from Italy to Gran Canaria with a Gambling 34, i noticed your mast because i had the same one, with the same sail hanks made in white plastic for the main, i broke dozen of them in rough sea and low wind later on crossin to St.Lucia....Have fun, good wind.
I admire the courage, spirit of adventure and ability to single-hand the boat. I wish you many safe journeys. Being able to sleep in 15 min increments? Wow, perhaps is I am really tired, like I imagine you get. :-)
Found your channel today. Have seen all the episodes now and look forward to new episodes., thank you.
10:58 that flexible mounting for the instruments is very clever
Thanks for the french subtitles. I'm English, but it's nice to read some french on UA-cam..
I can see doing 15 minutes of sleep at a time for maybe 1 night....but I don't know how people can do that for weeks at a time sailing across the Pacific - but some people do.
Usually I sleep for about 15-20 minutes a time while in busier areas. Out in the middle of the Atlantic or Pacific I often sleep for an hour or more at a time. My radar and AIS alarms will wake me up a long time before anything gets even remotely close to me. My main reason for waking up is to make sure I am still on course because I use a wind wane steering system that requires regular monitoring.
And I don't think there's a lot of people who are doing big travel alone. If you are with someone else you can sleep more than 10/15 mins
S/V Tattoo awesome bro!
@Stefan Urban - That's AIS, not GPS.
T Oadaly and some people go solo around world,it’s 8-9 month
this is so much harder than it looks plus your filming and talking at same time incredible
I've used a mandolin were your flesh and steel won't meet to cut any and EVERYTHING I can with it avoid using knives especially on rocking boat saw a woman put a Swiss army knife threw her palm trying to cut a carrot furry light squall. Thank you love you videos just going on marathons of sailing videos ready for the summer THANK YOU BRAVA YOUR TRULY A GREAT SAILOR !
🌬️💨⛵🤙🏻🙏🏻
C'est toujours un plaisir de savourer tes videos. Continue à nous régaler. Quelle belle aventure !!!
Nice cooking at sea segment.
Great practical advice! Plus it's great seeing some actual technical aspects of sailing. My favourite sailing vlog now.
So glad I found this channel!
Lying in bed now and I'd be moody if I don't get 8 hours! Fair play on those 15 mint naps
I tarted to watch Ep36, now I have started from the beginning, just congratulations really enjoying watching
Just found your channel. Love it! Be careful when you say that you want consistent wind in the Atlantic. Mother Nature doesnt like to be commanded. She brought you consistent wind... 35knots right on your nose for 4 days.
Good camera angles, captain. Thanks for sharing.
I really do envy you, I had the chance to live on the ocean and didn't sadly
I really like your videos. They give a lot of good information about everything. I really appreciate the solo information since that's something I would love to do. We'll see :)
A quick tip is to have a loop of bungee tied around the boom to hook over the reefing hook to hold the reef in place while you go back. Sometimes the wind can blow it off otherwise.
Like that, thanks
so few days ago i came by with this sailing boat lifestyle and thought wow, this could be a good idea for off grid living,,,but man...after some research I figured it's nothing but challenge , keeping busy, new issues all the time....basically, you have to pay for fuel much more than your car, you have to have permission to more the boat and pay high fees, you have to buy water, you have to clean toilet, you have to eat food that's either canned or dry, you hardly get any comfortable sleep,,,so for someone looking for as hassle free lifestyle as possible, just live at your parents, hahahahha...
My dream! And I could listen to you speak all day lol
hey! I like your videos. thanks for sharing your sailing with us!
Nice video,many thanks, I love your voyage very much, many thanks.
Bonjour
Vraiment super de voir ta petite organisation a bord.
En effet, un des arts de la navigation réussie c'est l'anticipation.
Je suis impatient de découvrir la suite de ton périple.
Si un jour tu as l'occasion je serai très curieux de découvrir ton organisation de la navigation avec la centrale de nav et le routage.
A bientôt pour découvrir ton voyage
Philippe
Oui, je vais essayer de traiter ca pendant les videos sur la traversée de l'atlantique
Nice sailing, good video! Thank you.
loving your videos! from Sao Paulo, Brazil!
Des vidéos passionnantes surtout que je restaure un petit sangria et que je lui réservé quelques petites voyages. bravo pour la qualité des reportage :-)
Andy Mitchell, really liking the videos getting my own boat next year just shows size doesn't matter lol, safe journey watching out for #31
I was a controller (?) for a transport company once and had nightshifts (in addition to the normal work at day)... this sleep pattern, sleep 30 mins, wake up and check everythin, sleep another 30 mins etc. is something one gets used to pretty fast. extremely unhealthy tho. it took me a while to recover from it after I quit. I guess its not that stressful when you're just sailing and enjoying life but still..
2:30 that song is so cool
Interesting video. May I suggest moving the paper towels away from the fire? Seems a bit dangerous to me. Good luck on the voyage, and fair seas.
Yes, thats a really good point, I have added a bungee to hold it up, but removing it at once would be better!
You're a great inspiration to me! One question: Why did you choose your electric autopilot over a mechanic wind pilot?
Know this is a bit late to comment but I would think simplicity. Mechanical wind vanes have a bunch of parts. An electric tillerpilot takes up way less space and when not in use can be put away quickly. He has a solar panel that will easily handle it.
@@noelnicholls1894 thanks!
The Dao Relative to the wind, but not in true direction. The wind vane relies on a constant wind direction.
I bet you see all the stars you normally wouldn’t see being in the middle of nowhere correct? Also, what’s the strangest thing you’ve seen or experienced while at sea? You’ve gained a subscriber! Keep up the great videos. 👍🏼
Yeah, sky is really bright at night, maybe not as much as in the desert, since there is alway moisture in the air because of the ocean, but it's still stunning.
Regarding strange things, have a look at this episode where a super pod of pilot whales join me for a while: ua-cam.com/video/ZYpg_1FafHM/v-deo.html
The Sailing Frenchman l
Pleasant dreams!
Great video, thank you....
Don't sleep again near or under the stove when food is cooking, you don't know what can cause that hot food to spill on you and then you could have a very bad day or week.
It's a pressure cooker, so the lid locks into place. Even if it fell over, it wouldn't spill boiling food on him.
@@q8ee59 I don.t think that 3-4kg of hot iron that is falling from 30cm is good for your head.
Great episode!
Great work!
c'est la vie!
Blessings
La belle vie.🥂⛵
You sir, are a sailing animal😀👊
Why don't you install a radar tool that will alert you whenever a boat is nearby? It will allow to sleep more probably 45 minutes per session and then wake up to check the autopilot for example
All electronics are just an assistance, they do not replace human watchkeeping
Merci pour cette belle vidéo!
Si je peux me permettre, cuisiner les pieds nus : gaffe, l'eau bouillante c'est très chaud, ça fait mal et c'est long à guérir... 😉
Je suis entièrement d'accord, et de manière générale il faudrait que j'ai des chaussures plus souvent, mais j'ai du mal... j'aime bien etre pieds nu, je trouve que j'ai de meilleurs appuis.
15 minutes snooze, get that. But how many a day?
I have experimented with a couple of snoozes, surprising how fresh I felt afterwards
Most probably wait until night then start, so end up tired. In my book you should start napping as soon as sufficiently clear of land and ships.
Bon voyage
As many naps as you need/can
Superbe chaîne. Je me fais quelques épisodes tous les soirs, génial et bravo ! Plaisant de voir que la genèse se passe juste à côté de chez moi! Il me semble que tu as oublié de dire le tarif du bateau? La coque en elle même... au plaisir de suivre ta chaîne 😉
La coque en elle meme ? Une biere :)
It's good to go low key on the technical stuff, but maybe you should consider investing in AIS so that you can sleep longer and better. Bad sleep is a good way to make mistakes. But you make very nice films, real reality without all the drinking and pirate crap that many others do.
Thanks a lot. I have thought a lot about the AIS, but even if I had it, I would keep the same sleeping pattern, AIS isn't 100% reliable, some boats don't have it, I see it more as an aid than a solution
That’s crazy. I did 50 miles per day coastal cruising. I would never solo blue water.
This is my BIGGEST question about solo sailing ever... What if you had fallen off here... 3:34 Would you almost guaranteed be dead? Your boat would keep going, you cant catch up to it by swimming, and nobody would find you. Thats my biggest fear and concern. Its got to have happened many many times. That thought scares me more than anything.
Update: I read a good thread on this actually. And the best thing you can do is use a harness and tether. And make sure you have a cell phone in a waterproof bag in your pocket.
...You just make sure you don't fall.
Simple as that.
@@ADRIAN-zh4ti Yep.
Lil Dicky!
Mike Dy haha I thought that I Little bit. This guy is a sailing star though, awesome!
I do the same 15 minutes sleep then 2 x 360 degree check for traffic, then another 15 mins sleep, seems to work well.
Your boat looks a little tender, faster in light winds but more work for a single hander what is she: 9.5m and about 4 ton?
Well fair winds and bonne chance my friend :)
Yeah exactly, she likes light winds. She is 8m and only 1.8 ton
Sometimes the ocean looks scary.
If ever you're on another solo, or perhaps have time on your next endeavor, might I recommend a great book to read: Kon Tiki by Thor Heyerdahl. Assuming you haven't read it, this is a great sailing story, and part of why I like your channel.
I've been wanting to read it for a while now, will do soon
@@TheSailingFrenchman forgot to mention: I highly DO NOT recommend the recent movie of Kon Tiki, due to Hollywood having contaminated the storyline with Hollywood-type drama.
Love it
I die if i sleep only 15 min. :D
Your excellent new subscriber here for ever
Great Job!
Music around 3 minute mark was a little doom and gloom. Great video once again!
Haha, yeah indeed, but it was kind of the feeling I had at that moment, I was supposed to be going downwind and instead I had bad squalls, upwind, it was freezing cold...etc. Hence that music hehe
What is the white line running from the mast and under your boom monsieur?
Cool
Do you think there is any way to do this solo without the auto-pilot? Like in the past before it was invented did people always just duo or what. Becoming lost at sea seems nightmarish imo
Bon vent :) Top vidéo !
I would not find that kind of sleep schedule very restful at all. I would be a mess after 2 or 3 days.
Being barefoot when boiling water in an open pan is sure asking for very big trouble. The more so in a chopping sea.
J'ai vu un équipier débarqué d'urgence quand une casserole d'eau bouillante lui est tombé sur les cuisses. C'était il y a plus de 50 ans aux Glénans et depuis personne à mon bord ne fait ce genre d'opération : il y a un tablier de ciré qu'utilisent les pécheurs oui est pendu à un crocher près du réchaud et il y a une obligation de le prendre…
T'imagines si ça t'arrive seul en plein océan ??…
What tiller pilot do you use? Would you recommend it?
Woah!! Santa Eulalia??? I live there :))
Can you get some kind of radar that can detect other craft you are getting close to and sound an alarm to wake you up?
Yes, it is possible but any kind of electronic alarm is just an assistance and doesn't replace actual watchkeeping
I don't sail....yet, but would a slow cooker/crock pot (electric) be a practical (battery drain or what not) solution for long voyages? Thanks.
Hey, just curious to know if you’re still alive 3 years later?
~ 🚨 😴 💤 🛏 🕰 ~
*Would you consider to get a radar unit which sets off an alarm🚨 if something gets too close to you and then sleep😴💤 for one hour at a time?* 🕰
Well even if I had a radar, and AIS... and other fancy gadget, the thing is that none of them is 100% reliable. So they are just assistance to the watch, I would still have to wake up at the same frequency.
(I am aware that human watch isn't 100% reliable either :) )
Hey ’ Frenchman, tu pourrais faire une french version....
Question, Quelle pilote automatique avez vous utilisé?
I am not sure about the sleep I get very grumpy when I am tired /hungry
Brave man. Another guy called Steve Callahan did the same and ended up being 76 days on a raft in the middle of the ocean fighting for his life after his boat sunk. Same could have happened to you too.
No wind vane like a Monitor or Cape Horn ? Seems like that would be a “must have” for single handed?
Yeah, this was a big questioning I had at the moment of the refit, I had to chose between a wind vane or a stern platform... and I went for the platform. On such a small boat, it really adds a "room" in the boat. And the autopilot is doing really good, even on the atlantic crossing, so I'm quite happy to have made this choice
The Sailing Frenchman that would be my question too, you seem to have a bit of a laid back vibe so I thought for sure I’d see a windvane bobbing around, but then I saw the platform...
Wait! Are you actually Lil Dicky??
Fuck you american
Im new to sailing so not that experienced but If you had a transmitting AIS system would you be able to sleep a full night?
Well AIS is an assistance to the watch, it helps. But I would never rely 100% on AIS. Many boats don't have it (small sailing boats like me, fishermans, especially in less developed countries...etc), it's not absolutely accurate or reliable.
The Sailing Frenchman thanks for your reply. This is good to know!!! Wishing you fair weather :) cheers
Get yourself a hammock
What is that first song!? cant find it with the links provided
The song is "How It Ends" - by Jean-Claude Shridou.
If you had a really good pair of binoculars you could sleep longer
il existe pas un detecteur de bateaux automatique qui sonne quand ca en detecte un?!! 15min par ci 15min par la ca fait pas des nuits de 8h!!..:// pas trop claque?
Le must c'est d'être à 2, tu fais des quarts et tu peux pioncer 2 ou 3 heures
Il existe des détecteurs de radars, qui détectent les radars allumés dans un certain rayon. Donc ça couvre grosso modo les porte-container (24/24 7/7), quelques voiliers (uniquement lorsque près des côtes, qui allume son radars en plein océan ?) et les chalutiers (lorsqu'ils sont de pays développés seulement).
Comme tu peux le voir ce n'est pas fiable à 100% (pas même à 50% de mon point de vue).
What if you lower sails and sleep fir hours?
Well even if the boat isn't moving, other boats are, so you still need to keep the watch in case they don't see you. Plus if you lower the sails, the boats will be affected much more by the swell, and it would be bouncing from one lean to the other, impossible to sleep...
Is your vessel sailing Under the Belgian flag ?
Nop, french flag
The Sailing Frenchman yeah sorry its With the sunlight... great Chanel.
Very insperational.
Keep safe.
i would starve lmao
That boat is not 28 feet ,maybe 23
Good eye, it's 26ft, made a mistake in the conversion from meters to ft :)
You have an autopilot right?
yep, an electric tiller autopilot. To go singlehanded on long distances a windvane or an autopilot is mandatory
Why not just eat dehydrated food. skip cooking. and put some music on
Dehydrated food doesn't taste as good :). And I like cooking hehe
I would risk 2 hr sleep..
Because you don't know better..
good vid. thanks. music is a bit odd tho.
Dude, seriously how can you do this in such a tiny boat, surely the ocean can f*ck you at any moment it choses. How would you manage a random hurricane or 30ft waves?!
Eh beh… pieds nus… le jour où tu vas te péter un doigt de pied coincé dans un bout' ! idem pour la cuisine pied nu, c'est très désagréable la bouffe (ou un liquide) bouillante qui t'atterrit sur le pied ! et je ne te cause même pas de passer du cockpit à la cuisine via la descente avec une lame nue (un couteau) à la main ; tout ça, c'est franchement pas sécuritaire, surtout en solo ; à part ça, elles sont très bien tes vidéos, qui me rappellent mes croisières en solo sur un écume de mer il y a déja longtemps, dans des contrées plus froides ;-)
Quand on vit 24h/24 et 7j/7 sur son bateau ce n'est pas pareil que quand on part en weekend pour décompresser du boulot ...
Le confort viendra toujours surpasser le "sécuritaire".
Tu peux tout autant te faire mal chez toi ...
Il suffi de faire attention, d'analyser l'environnement qui t'entoure avant de faire quelque chose.
Oui c'est vrai que ce n'est pas le top niveau secu, ma comme le resume très bien @ARTEMISFLO , c'est ma maison, et il y a pas mal de choses ou je transgresse un peu sur la sécurité, sinon c'est invivable (et dans pas mal de cas, le bateau est tellement gite que l'eau ne tombera pas sur mes pieds, mais directement dans les équipés de l'autre cote du bateau :D )
you sound like :borat
its funny !!
The Friendly Dutchman He sounds nothing like Borat
