    Thank you so much for this. My favourite sailing video.
    At 75, I have finally had to give up sailing after a lifetime. My favourite yacht was the Wharram Pahi 31, ‘Imagine’ which I owned here in New Zealand, back in the 90s. I had always sailed monohulls until that boat. Her ability at sea always impressed me and I would choose a Wharram over any other for serious ocean cruising anywhere in latitudes lower than 40°. Beyond 40°, I would be looking for rather more shelter on deck than his designs generally afford. We hit 15 knots regularly, but I don’t remember getting 17. I do remember us storming past a 40ft harbour racer, on a reach one day, and the look on his face as we did so. Happy days.

      Hi! I am the current owner of that pahi 31 (now renamed "yes let's") since nov 99 she sat on the hard on the side of the road in Kawhia, then I restored her starting in 2019, relaunched just under a year ago! Would love to hear more history about what happened when you owned her.

    Thanks for all the messages! We have been sailing with the pilgrim for the past month. So i havn't been able to reply to any of your comments since we have no internet. We did Sete, Mallorca, Menorca, Crosica. We captured the new speed record of 18.9 knots on video and I have a bunch of awesome Drone footage and more. We are leaving toward Greece in 10 days for another month or 2. I will eventually be posting a lot more videos as soon as i find time to edit and post. Thank you for watching, stay tuned for loads of Pilgrim videos coming soon..ish.. Fair winds everyone!

    @stevelittle8404 6 років тому +47

    This is a great story, very inspiring. Somebody working so hard for their dreams instead of living life like it's a vending machine. It says a lot about what kind of man your dad is as well, that he has family and friends who gave up a lot to help and experience the journey. So many metaphors-- the journey home to France; the name Pilgrim; the brilliant simplicity of the boat., the occasional storms and disappointments (like life).... Also; production values, music and narration are par excellence. Thanks for making and posting this. Really awesome. I had my family watch it together.

  • @robinfautley8698

    This is a brilliant film. It is so hard to display the strength of the wind and how big the seas are from deck height. Love the speed. I was so lucky to have had the privilege to sail on George Paynes Raka, the first Wharram racing design in 1974. My little trip was in the company of the PCAs secretary Tony Meakin and the Editor Richard Bumpus. It was a delivery trip for George taking Raka from Plymouth to Padstow round Lands End. After taking it easy to Lands End, we wound it up and managed to average 16 knots for the last 4 hours to Padstow. Raka was much heavier than the newer designs so we knew we had a lot of safety margin. But we we very quick on the sheets just in case. But to be able to film as well as you have done - terrific !

    Once I started watching I could not stop. What a thrilling video. You all should be very proud and now to have the Most courageous voyage under your belts. I am sure there were some tough issues between the crew and the weather and just about a million other things, but you persevered and MADE IT. What a great boat. I was nervous for you at first, as others have said, but the design and craftsmanship stood the test of the Atlantic.

    The human spirit at its best! Brave souls armed with courageous hearts and sharp minds. Traversing the seas to cross the world on a ship made with ones own hands. Striving to do more than dream but to live not just to be alive but truly live. Dedication and motivation pushing forward through the darkest of nights greeted with the reward of success . Sunshine on their faces and the wind on their backs they arrive on the shores of victory. Triumphant glory toasting the accomplishment of a passage of a lifetime. A beautiful story to tell to live to share. Inspiring all whos ears are blessed to recieve. Nudging the impossible to the side opening possibilities on all horizons. What a blessing indeed !God has planted eternity in the hearts of men giving time and love and all things good to those who are pure of heart. Journeys never end when traveled by true Pilgrims. If only all of humanity could sail together as one.

    Great video, I can’t imagine the satisfaction gained from building your own boat and then embarking on such a challenging voyage.
