What a beautiful yacht you lucky people

I came across a pod off Barbate, they came to check me out but did not seem iterested in my transom hung rudder. I played them a song with my guitar and thdy scarpered pretty quick!

Lovely, well done chaps, many thanks for sharing 🤗

I agree. Looks like a sperm whale.

Very sad to see two healthy men quit a race sailed under normal, every-day weather conditions. Apparently Britons in 1940 were made of sterner stuff.

Of course you're going to be tired all the time. Three hours on and three off is a constant treadmill and guarantees unending exhaustion. And sailing half-rigged stretches the race out abominably. You'll have no REM sleep for two weeks! Instead, watches should run from 0600-1200, 1200-1800, 1800-2200, 2200-0200, and 0200-0600. The man who stands two night watches is the first off during the day, and the man who will stand two watches the following night has all afternoon to sleep so he faces the night well-rested. This system, called the Swedish System by the man who introduced me to it, gives both watches one long off-watch every day in which each man can get five hours, perhaps five and a half, of uninterrupted sleep during which his body and mind can recuperate properly. The main meal of the day is the noon meal prepared by the morning watch and the dishes are washed and the galley is cleaned up by the afternoon watch. The system is self-dogging so everyone experiences new and interesting weather each day and all is always interesting and changing. Sailing offshore is a perpetual quest for adequate rest and this system supplies it as much as is possible.

You always race under a triple-reefed mainsail? Especially downwind in no more than moderate weather?

Fantastic, thanks for sharing.

A really great video. As he said, they are living their dream and it shows on everyone's faces. Thanks for sharing!

All in all, enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing!

When a boat is beautiful, it is easy to the eye like this one. Thanks for sharing!

Was the entire passage done under motor ??

What year is this Nauticat…?

Awesome..!

How long did the trip take?

Now that should be a fun trip!

In Marketing this is “selling the sizzle.” But, more views of the boats features and listing some stats would be a nice include. Nice looking boats.

Incredible looking yacht.

Who’s the lucky team to get this delivery then? Lovely boat.

That looks like fun, even for a sailor like me 😀.

😂😂😅😢😮

Klassieke schoonheid,zo worden ze niet meer gebouwd. ❤❤❤🎉

I’ve noticed they are only interacting with spade rudder boats. And stop calling them killer whales.

Very enjoyable vid thankyou. I noticed a fair bit of slack in the windpilot's lines leading to the tiller ... reduces the response of the windvane.

Amundsen, beauty!

Nothing a taser can't fix.

Thank you I found that very helpful😊

must admit I've a future eye on a Rustler - beautifully built boats.

interesting to watch transfer to the ship, haven't seen that before.

Lovely. Nice yacht.

That run from Beachy Head to the Owers is tedium personified. The wind farm seems to go on for miles (it does) and we were running at 20 knots on a flybridge. Once you get round the corner at Selsey it’s a sigh of relief and familiar welcoming waters of The Solent 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Just beautiful

Fantastic, thanks for sharing.

N That is why, The Orca Killer whales r attacking, boat"s! I can"t blame, them at all!🤔🤫🐳🐋💞❣💯% ! They r very smart , n gorgeous !

What a beautiful yacht! 😍

Wonder if there have been any attacks on an aluminum hull sailboat…?

Be useful for you to add the information of your location to the various guides suggesting areas to avoid.

Merci pour le partage des connaissances !

The funny thing is that a sailing boat looks exactly like a whale from the bottom. Scientists might be right.

Hi Where about was this on the coast as we are travelling there in August .Might be a good area to avoid

👍👌

A bit scary for sure, glad you all made it safely to shore. I’d have to believe that a marine biologist has come up with a safe way to deter them from doing this

But you can also see the quality of the large series! I am also concerned about the poor quality you get for the money. Cheap foamed rudders that have to endure a lot with a GFK covering consisting of 2 thin blades, for a 6-digit amount! Holy Moly

Hi, guys, you were lucky/unlucky, obviously you know they let you off lightly. If you stop in Nazare be sure to say hi, a buddy Steve was once in your crowd, we don't see him down here in recent years, all the best to you, Alec of Nazare.
