"sail boats are, after all, for sailing"
👍
My life is boring. Thanks for the tour and places you take me!
Maybe you should get a boat
I used to be a SV Delos fan, however they have become really boring with their "project" I like the simplicity of what you are trying to achieve. A great little boat and i enjoy your your videos more than the big partying attitude others portray. Stay safe and keep it going. Really informative.
Thanks.
I agree completely... ever since the three ladies came on board Delos it seems like full time silliness and partying. You might also enjoy Free Range Sailing... very similar to our favourite Frenchman.
Agreed indeed
Thanks for the heads up Brent. Sailing Zingaro is interesting if your'e into doing things on a shoe string. Can be random though.
Cheers Camila, such a shame as Delos was good but kind of lost their way.
couldn't agree more..I also tuned off Delos and Vagabonde, either all about partying/beers in hand all time or sponsorships . Check out RAN sailing, very organic, lots of actual sailing/trouble shooting plus stopover excursions, cool chill Swede couple and Follow the Boat is also a good one , UK couple, older but lots of sailing/exploring, humorous and lots of refit/maintenance etc
IM not a boat geek. but i loved every minute of the boat tour. great video!
This man is so entertaining and informative.
Great channel! We idiots have to stick together, so I subscribed of course!
Great tour of the boat. Fitting my 23ft out atm. Some great ideas. Many thanks.
Absolutely love this little sailing vessel !!!!
It has been a very enjoyable journey to watch all of your hard work on shore, and now sailing the boat and watching you enjoy your labors. I very much align with your maintenance and sailing philosophies. I hope you keep posting videos of your travels.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I've really enjoyed learning about the refit of your boat and how you handle maintenance during your passages. Fairs Winds and Following Seas!
This is definitely one of my favourite channels. Legend
Wonderfull commentary and great to see you so happy on your boat - I hope you have some fantastic and safe voyages!
As they say, "the smaller the boat the more fun". Great boat tour!
Wow! What an amazing progress from the beginning. The detailed reconstruction of the boat and then within weeks ocean sailing. The culmination ( I have not seen all the movies) is around Lanzarote with the tour of the boat. What’s amazing is your stamina. You have brought us amazing drone footage, quite moving commentaries of times that have been very difficult, and with this confidence and acceptance of all that the sea throws at you. Inspirational! Obviously, and amazingly, you always knew you would be able to do this. You knew the boat would be up to the task in braving these huge seas. And what inspires me and perhaps many subscribers is your confidence, your very natural and informative videos together with your highly engaging style. We are following you and wishing you every success and thanks for enriching our lives.
Well done .. really interesting how you live on board ...self esteem is so inspiring
I have been inching to get a 20 meter boat. But honesty I see now that I can do with much less and start living the dream now. Great inspiration to us all.
Lovely boat. I had a Catalina 27 which is a similar size. Damn it could turn on a dime and had incredible handling. Love your configuration. One thing that the Catalina had was shelves under the windows with slide doors. This was great as it gave you extra strorage without stuff flying about. It also covered the wiring looms. Maybe your next woodwork project ?? 😋
I've really enjoyed all of your videos up to this point. I have a Canadian built Contessa 26 that I'm refurbishing with the ultimate goal of long-distance cruising and your videos are motivating and inspirational!
You're clearly a more experienced sailor than I am, but I have another boat (smaller) that I'm going to day-sail this Summer to get a bit more experience.
Thanks for your efforts and keep the videos coming!
Loving your channel, thank you. Great to see the tour of your boat, your mods are awesome. Great idea to use heavier grades of chain nearer the anchor, I must do that as I have a 26 footer with no windlass. Also loved your hybrid instruments that swing from cockpit to saloon.
Lovely boat, so we'll done for all your hard work restoring and improving her and especially for taking the time share it all with us; you are truly an inspiration - Thank you!
Thanks a lot, and maybe see you one day on the water? Fair winds
Mike Floutier je suis comme Mike, reconnaissant pour cette source d'information et inspiration.
That was a very good tour. Thank you, Hugo
Great work mate - you're livin' the dream and documenting it well...love your boat and what you've done with it! I'm about to buy a KP44 to take my young family cruising for the next few years and envy how well you know your boat!
Fair Winds ...
Merci pour le joly video, jeunesse et un bon petit bateau, ca c'est le bonheur!
Thanks for the tour of your home!
Thanks for the tour - really enjoyed it :) Take care and be safe!
YT randomly recommended your channel and I have to say it is VERY entertaining, thank you for the work you put in making these : )
Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures.
Hi buddy, love your work! One piece of advise: Check the speaker installation, if they're not installed with a proper panel / box behind them they can become quite dangerous. In case a big wave crashes in the cockpit, the membranes rip out and the speakers become essentially big gaping holes.
Wow, never though about this, but yeah, I'll have a look into it, building a box behind shouldn't be too complicated . Thanks :)
Not the first time I’ve heard this...build those WP speaker boxes!
I very much enjoy your Channel and they way you create your videos .Thanks
Just discovered your fantastic channel and am binge watching at the moment. You have such amazing energy. Keep the"geeking" up....Being a sailor myself, I love the geeking.
My ketch is 2 meters longer but I watched your details and learned quite a bit. I’ll be adding solar panels soon and upgrading my electronics. I admire your Atlantic crossing and your organization. Good sailing...
Nice video! Boat set up just right it looks like.. I'm leaving three months heading South on US Coast. Glad to see another single-handed sailor. Have fun..
Nice, fair winds!
Great to see you ⛵ nice boat 🌈 have fun 👍 and good luck . 😎 God Bless you .
Enhorabuena y mucho ánimo con tus travesías!!!!!
Un fuerte abrazo desde Santander.
I am officially a boat nerd. I really enjoyed the tour.
salut
jolie petite unité qui reflète bien le travail que tu as fourni pour le refaire avec on le voit beaucoup d expérience bonne continuation et merci pour ces belles images on attend la suite avec impatience 👍
You're totally sorted out, given me inspiration thanks!
Amazing little boat. Thank you for the tour. It's very useful as I'm planning to have one for me too one day.
Fantastic video, enjoy watching all your videos. keep up the great work.
Ah !! Un EDM, toute ma jeunesse ! Un superbe voilier, une des premières grandes réussites de Finot; de plus, plusieurs EDM ont fait des très grandes nav' dont des tours du monde :-)
Fantastic boat how I’ve added so much in a small vessel u have a new subscriber and follower great job cheers mate
2 tips: Paint your shower bucket black and it will get quite warm. There is plastic black spray paint, no primer needed.
When you coil your halyards, don't wrap the knot over the top, just tuck them between the mast and taught halyard. You will be able to drop a sail faster if necessary.
Brilliant you have the storm jib. Really helpful to keep the nose up in heavy weather. I used one on my 21footer in 40 knots and it was great! Reduce sail early :-)
Great video! I love how you've brought all the lines back to the cockpit and explained how your auto-pilot works. It seems like you outfitted your boat with all the
important tools you see in bigger boats so that everything you need is close by without being cramped. To make an analogy with cooking, it is how a chef might design
a compact kitchen with all the important tools close by yet still providing ample space for cooking and preparing food with no wasted space - except for the lack of enough headroom.. I hope while at anchor, the hatch opens far enough so you can stand while cooking as long as the hatch is open. Otherwise I'd want some way to be able to sit or kneel while cooking. Having to bend my neck would get old quickly.
Have you seen "How to sail oceans"? Like yours, videos from that channel show the owner solo sailing his 30 footer. He has vast experience making ocean passages on his boat. He does it the old fashioned way. In fact his boat has no engine. Watching him maneuver his boat in close quarters in harbors with boats all around under sail or using a sculling oar is a treat.
Thanks for the boat geeking, great stuff.....
Loved your tour. Great tips.
Great tour!
Some really neat features.
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!! I love the tour!
Merci pour le tour du propriétaire !! Bravo pour le travail accompli
very nice videos. I like the way you are sailing and traveling. Very authentic style. Thx.
Les silent blocks de planche à voile pour l'orientation des panneaux solaires : 👍👍👍
We have just bought an Ecume de Mer and are very pleased with it. There is a surprisingly good amount of space for a small boat with standing room. I’m glad that we waited for the right boat to come along⛵️
Cheers for the video!
Darren
Nice, EdM are the best :)
Maybe you know it already, but this website is great, all about EdM: amd.alio.free.fr/ukecumedemerFrame-1.htm and also the Facebook page Ecume de Mer Mallard World
Brilliant tour thank you
Hello my friend, nice to see how your boat has laid out.
Cool video. Thanks for sharing.
You're a genius! Very good idea with the solarpanel gimbal, reminds me of macgyver :)
Love the boat, I am looking to get into sailing great video
Enjoying your videos man, also awesome boat.
Great video, thanks for the detail from a fellow Boat Geek! :) I have use of a Catalina 27 while i build my 40' wooden boat and very keen to do some sailing so this has given me lots of ideas
Wow! Impressive! Good job.
Very interesting. You're a champ.
The way you mounted your solar panel 10:53 is pretty clever. Will do that, too. Thanks and keep on doing your good videos!
@Amos Groth what are those mounts called? I can't find anything even close to similar anywhere on the internet.
@@IrregularPineapples It’s a standard mast foot of a windsurf mast. Pretty robust, cheap and very useful. The exact term may be different but I am sure you will find it. I am sailing for over 2 years with this construction, no signs of fatigue. They are supposed to hold way more powers anyway…
Great tour about the boat, many thanks good impressive. I like it your boat very much.
I love this Guy! never a problem to big/ always not to bad, I want to pay him to do a trip with him, love it
Thanks for the tour!
Great to see how you can live as a Yachtman without spending millions of Euros!
Found your 24th episode 13 hours ago... Now I've seen all previous episodes as well! Happy sailing!
Felicidades!
Good content, fresh, diffferent.
I just discovered your videos. Your work is fantastic on your boat. I am a professional boat builder from a long time ago and am amazed by the young generation now fixing these small boats. Wonderful job. Keep up the good work. I have a few videos myself you can see for some ideas for your boat. Thank you for the videos. PS, I am french also but my french is very bad. Jean Mondeau
Thanks a lot. I just had a look at your videos, really cool, definitely taking some tips :)
Great boat! Just subscribed! I'll binge watch you channel next.
Steven - I completely agree. I loved Delos for several years, but in 2018 they have really dropped off. This guy is the real deal :)
so interesting and informative, great video.
Great video. May I suggest relocating your paper towels. Having them above the stove is a fire hazard.
Love your channel! I used to support Delos but they lost their way and lost my sponsorship in the process. Keep up the great uploads and stay true to who you are as your content is fantastic!
Have you watched “the adventures of Tarka” ??
Muy buen video .Gracias por toda la Informacion!!!Very good video Thank you for all the information !!!
cool, keep doing this videos, love them , nice bear by the way jaja
Nice, love the boat tour, tiller is great, I’m building a boat so all this info is good for me, thanks
Nice, what kind of boat are you building?
It’s a Van de Stadt 34, designed in the late 80’s. Cedar core / fibreglass sandwich construction, going to take about 5 years I think.
Nice boat. Great video.
Good tour of your boat.
Damn, man! My GoPro Karma would NEVER start from a huge metal ship because there would be a permanent "compass interference" error showing up. Anybody else have similar experiences? Great videos! You are actually one of the best english speakers among (probably) whole French nation ;)
Haha, thanks,
Regarding the drone, I was indeed getting lots of magnetic interferences, launching and landing were tricky, you have to turn off all sensors, makes the piloting much more challenging :)
The Sailing Frenchman I keep my turned off permanently, as Karma doesn't have any sensors build-in, which btw is its weakest point ;)
Sooner or later you will develop neck and back injuries by having to bend over like you do. I can tell you having a curved spine that is now causing my neck to clasp rendering me disabled and in pain is not what you want. Best to up grade as soon as able for your well being. I admire your courage to get out and sail. Thank you for taking us along.
One of the most beautiful episode filming sailing ⛵ I really like it.
Bravo I m watching your sailing all the episodes. Very good sailors from The France 🇫🇷. The best in the world 🌎
I believe you is true. The greetings from the most beautiful romantic island 🏝on the planet Kauai..Keep going its beautiful amazing voyage .I m preparing this year or next year everything buying for my the boat . My the health is extremely good ,I m vegetarian, no meet eating, no chicken and no eggs. My all the family vegetarian living in different European countries.
Just for comfort I think I would be happier with a 32 foot or so. Hans Christian if I had a choice but your boat does well. Your photography is brilliant. Bon courage mon vieux.
Superbe vidéo continue comme ça ! Il me tarde de voir les prochains épisodes ! :)
Salut SFM, merci pour la visite, c'est quand même un peu juste au point de vue place. Très bonne idée avec tes 3 dimensions de chaines de mouillage. Bon vent et bonne mer
Very Nice explained.
Never sailed before but those videos are somehow super meditating Lol. Keep going
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome work dude. :)
Back again :) with a new perspective! Upgrading from my daysailer 11 footer zef from the 50s (a french boat :) - im keeping it around for fun) to a Hunter 27. Time to re-absorb your advice
realy nice boat! cheers
Nice boat !
Trop mignon ton bateau :) Nice video too and I subscribed of course :) Thanks and best from HKG
the best part what i loved most is the dialogue 'because i am an idoit'! ♪♥
Allo, nous aussi nous utilisons le contenant avec la pompe pour se laver, mais nous l'avons peinturé noir, car au soleil ça réchauffe l'eau. Nous aimons beaucoup tes vidéos, bravo!
Thank you for taking the time, I have an EDM and will use some of your modifications.
EdM forever :)
As usual, a really good episode. Personally I love the two tone paint - I'm not sure why so many people want their boats to just blend into the ocean.
I like the idea of the smallest boat that's really safe to sail in the accidental big ocean....
Theay spottet a white shark at the coast of Mallorca a few days ago. Don´t want to scare you and i don´t think he will be a real danger but i want you to know about that. So watch out while you are in the water and catch fish for dinner. I enjoy your videos and like the fact that you keep it real and simple. Wish you the best and fair seas! :)
I would sleep a lot better with AIS. Put that on your wish list. Nice boat!
Yes, I have been wondering about why you don't have AIS? Cost?
I really enjoy your spirit and your videos. Keep them coming.
Cost and power consumption are the 2 biggies that prevent people from usin AIS.
What is a ais
Lovely
Hi buddy. Love your journey. I also tow a decathlon kayak. After about 500 miles of hard sailing the front handle began to tear. Attach a backup line to the mid kayak handles.
Thanks for the tip! Yeah it was also my concern, even if I try to tow it as little as possible
super. thanks
Grear tour. I encountered this channel casually when vieweing other sailing video. On the related vids there was one like "crossing the Atlantic on a 26ft boat", and, hey, I had to look at that. Then, hooked, LOL.
I started also to see SV Delos from chapter 1, only 8 viewed so far, I still didn' reach the "party point". But Sailing Frenchman is nice indeed
I also saw several chapters from Erik Aandera channel on the North Atlantic, quite focused, I like them too, much more than Delos. As I have limited time to watch "TV" (UA-cam is almost the only TV I watch), I centered on Sailing French, Erik Aandera, and a bit of Patrik Laine (more from him later... oh, days should have 30 hours...).
I think Delos is now at the rear of the train at this moment
Sailors are the best they are so brave.
J aime bien l intérieur et le manche qu' à sculpter ton ami. Nice To ear a french guy speaking english by the way. Sail safe
