Let's Dance Sailing
Australia
Registrace 12. 04. 2016
Change of Pace: Our goal is to leave the land behind, set up home on a boat, cruise the oceans of the world and capture our adventures as we go.
We, the crew of Let’s Dance are an Australian couple with no sailing experience and a brand new boat. Our plan is to pick up our catamaran from La Rochelle, France and bring her home the long way.
Join us as we document our adventure.

Let's Dance Sailing Story #68 - Did We Need A Bigger Boat
Hello There :-), thak you for Sharing - do you have the adresses of the Metall-Craftmans for us - we also want to install solar on our Boat - It is so much more expensive when you buy at FP - we ordered a Boat for delivery in 2024 :-)))) - Do you also have batteries? BR stephan
Found the Upholstery: maps.app.goo.gl/7KvM7g8cDoccK88e6
@@graefrath01 Hi Stephan, we had our solar frame built in Turkey. Sorry we don’t have any contact details for you. Our marina manager organised all the work for us and the tradesman that did the work spoke no English at all. We didn’t change the batteries, we stayed with the factory fitted AGMs, cheers.
Another great adventure stop. Thanks for the insight into Cape Verde. Cheers
@@ianfalls2183 thanks Ian, hope all is well with your crew cheers
Are you going to show us some of the sailing on your 2300 NM trip? Maybe more than 30 would be nice. Love your videos
@@GlendaMixer-jz7vc thanks Glenda, we’ll do our best but it can get very same same out there cheers
That was a very interesting place. i am happy to see the assortment of vegetables available and yes, they do work lon hours. Wishing the fleet safe passage and pray for favourable conditions.
@@lets_go_see_ thanks, we found Cape Verde interesting cheers.

@@MostIntelligentMan it’s a cool place with a great vibe, cheers
Still amazed you only have 8000 followers?? You make videos that i smile all the way through. Great job. Awesome sound track.
@@alexstevenson2222 think it got something to do with our lazy approach to getting movies out. Thanks for hanging with us and the comment, cheers.
WWWHOOO :)
@@malgraham351 enjoy mate 👍
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing videos with us! Your generosity in taking us along on your journey is truly admirable. The time you spend videoing, editing and producing these shows a tremendous commitment. I discovered your channel just a few weeks ago and I must say, I've become completely hooked. I started binge-watching from the very beginning and your content never fails to bring me joy and entertainment. You guys are such a lovely couple with delightful personalities. It's inspiring to witness you both chasing and living your dream with so much enthusiasm. I also appreciate how you often include your compatible friends in your adventures, creating the perfect blend of sailing, boat life, travel vlogging, and storytelling. The way you present your videos, from the editing to the fantastic music selection, is just top-notch. You're telling an interesting story with each episode. I sense the joy you derive from making new connections on land and cherishing every moment as a precious memory. Thank you once again for sharing your incredible content. I can't wait to see what further adventures await you on your journey!
Hi Carl, thank you so much for your very kind words. Comments like yours keep us motivated to continue the sharing of our adventures. So glad you found our channel and like what we do, happy viewing.
Very nice video, great job. How do you get away with so much copyrighted music getting past the filters. Certainly adds a nice touch.
Thanks Carl glad you enjoyed it. You are right about our music it is all covered by copyright. We don’t monetise our channel in any way, any add revenue goes straight to the artists we use, this is how we can continue, cheers.
It was super cool meeting you guys at SCIBS on Sunday. (We were the family with 2 young girls talking at the helm while you waited for your coffee) We are looking forward to watching all your adventures! If you are ever passing through Coffs Harbour we would love to catch up, talk triathlon and share some more cruising stories. Joel, Megan, Amelia and Penny.
Hey Joel, thanks for dropping by our channel, enjoy the ride. Great to chat with you and the family at the show and hearing about your interesting past. Will keep you and Coffs in mind if we are passing through, cheers.
Nice to meet you at the show today, I met you first thing with my young boy. All the best with the new pad on the Goldy, it’s ’gods country’ up here mate 😀👍
Cheers Robert, thanks for dropping by the stand and checking out our channel.
Hi Marita, great to meet you at the boat show today and I’ve really enjoyed your video. I did the ARC in 2011 on a Jeaneau 54 starting in the UK so Cape Verde and the Canaries are fond memories . Looking forward to following your exploits . Best of luck to you both . Bob
Hi Bob, it really was a pleasure to meet you today. Glad you enjoyed the vid and a ‘sail down memory lane’. Welcome on board our adventure. Keep living the good life. Cheers
Another beaut story. Watch keeping is not all that it’s made out to be. 3 hours rotation is a killer. Hope the next big ocean crossing goes as planned. Can’t wait for the video. Cheers, Ian
Cheers mate, even with 4 on board you would be surprised just how tied you get over a long passage. Even so, wouldn’t trade our experience for anything.
Your 80’s background music is awesome 👍
Thanks Robert, we love our music. A lot of the tunes used in this one were influenced by Neil.
Agree with Robert love the music on your channel it brings back so many good memories ♥️
@@nurseae thanks, glad you enjoy it cheers.
Great video! Y'all look like you are having so much fun!
We are indeed, thanks for watching and your comment cheers.
Really enjoyed the video . Loved the dolphins ! What a spectacular sight! 😘😘😘
Thanks Dot, watching it back brought back so many wonderful memories 😘😘
Remember weather modification which US admits (NOAA) goes on through out the world. Look up HAARP (in Alaska, Texas, Nevada etc) is main cause of climate change.
Thanks for your comment, cheers.
A great shift system for watches.
Thanks Mark, it worked really well for us cheers.
Was thinking about you both the other day. No chance then for another newwie arms meet up. Hope we get to meet up again Mal
Bit far to the Newie but we now live on the doorstep of the iconic Kirra Beach Hotel cheers.
@LetsDanceSailing sounds like a visit lol Take care 🙂
@@malgraham351 Cheers 🍻
Great episode, greetings from the Gold Coast. Really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Robert glad you enjoyed it. An exclusive for you because you are at the GC we will be at the Multihull Solutions stand for the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, drop by and say GDay, cheers
Great trip stories ..... small tip ...... if you losing fish then your hooks need a sharpen ..... sharpen with a file and do it every time you put lines in! Thanks for sharing and love the music sound track
Thanks for the tip Tim, we do seem to drop the odd one or two cheers.
Thanks for posting the video, glad you are all healthy and in good spirits…
Cheers, so far so good. Love bringing our adventures to CZcams and really appreciate your comment.
Great video you two! ❤ from 🇨🇦
Thanks, we love your country and plan on spending more time there down the track, cheers.
Thanks guys another top episode 👌
Cheers Mal, we have moved on from Mona Vale and are now in Coolangatta. If you are passing by, give us a call, cheers.
Thank you for another great video. We plan to cross the Atlantic West to East in May 2025 in our Elba 45, going back to the Caribbean in December 2026. Our goal is Australia in 2027 or 2028. Cheers.
Thanks, the Elba handled the crossing really well. Fair winds for your upcoming passages cheers.
Great vid guys, thanks for taking us along. You're always so happy 😊 😊,quick question I see you've been flying all the foresails without the main. Is that recommended ? I thought not with a catamaran due to no backstay?? Thanks in advance
Thanks for watching, the lovely comment and the question. This is a long standing controversial question and one that we wanted to get right (in our heads at least) way back in 2016 when we bought our first Parasailor. We questioned, our broker and Fountaine Pajot at the time and both told us it wouldn’t be a problem. We have sailed in this setup for over 7 years without issue, cheers.
Güzel insanlar takdir ediyoruz Tanrı yardimciniz olsun.
Tesekkurler, Turk dostlarimizdan haber almak her zaman bir zevktir
Thank you for posting. It is always nice to watch your episodes. Relaxed, real, not trying to play up to the camera. Ttfn
Thank you for watching and this lovely comment. It is true, what you see is what you get and we couldn’t do it any other way cheers.
Great video as usual! I got excited when I saw that you’re using PredictWind too. Did you use the preloaded Elba 45 polars for your PredictWind? If so, how much did you adjust them. I can’t seem to get them dialed in for our Elba, and we’re in the middle of our crossing right now. I’m trying 90% the next couple days to see if that works. I wish I could sail as fast as PredictWind thinks I can!
We did use the preloaded Elba 45 polars and like you we found that we weren’t usually meeting the expected speed. Might’ve had something to do with our boat being loaded to the waterline 🤣. And we weren’t keen to push hard. We adjusted ours to around 80%. Fair winds for the remainder of your crossing. Our Elba loved the Atlantic.
Thank you so much for the response - I was really getting frustrated with not being able to get the performance. I tried 80, and then it seemed too slow. Hopefully 90 will work. We’re pretty loaded to the waterline too!
@@jlb9074 no worries, it does seem to be a bit of a moving target cheers. We went with near enough is good enough in the end.
Thank You for taking us along on the journey Fair Winds 😎
Cheers Darrell, we hope you enjoy the ride ⛵️
As always, a great video! Thank you.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Love the intro music what a start to watching you - subscribed.
Welcome aboard, we are glad you found us and enjoyed this one cheers.
Another ripper edition guys. Loved seeing the preparations and packing. Looking forward to the next one with the crossing. Cheers
Thanks Ian, next one out soon cheers.
Your videos are the best! A real treat to watch!
Thanks so much for your comment, glad you enjoy our channel cheers
I'm so sorry but The pot was not rinsed completely maybe it wasn't noticed.
🤣🤣🤣 if you knew the scrutiny that the pots and pans go through after every wash you would understand that this comment is even more funny than probably first thought, cheers.
@@LetsDanceSailing YOU ARE VALUABLE TO US, THERE IS NO OTHER REASON
Hi Guys Safe travels and good fun for you all as you cross the Atlantic. A quick question for you about your provisioning - Do you have a freezer on board (either portable or fixed) ? If yes, what size did you choose to go with ? I ask because we are in a very similar position to you guys - we own a FP Helia 44 and plan to cross the Atlantic with 4 people in November 2024 (ARC). We will get a portable freezer before then but right now we are still to-ing and fro-ing on what size we should get 🤔 Cheers
Thanks, yes we have the fixed, factory fitted 90L freezer and couldn’t live without it as full time liveaboards, cheers.
Safe travels
Thanks 🙏
The luckiest man in the world in the oceans with a princess.
Yes, couldn’t agree more cheers
Will you post news on Facebook or somewhere during your Atlantic crossing?
Hi Glenda, thanks for your comment. Spoiler alert we have already crossed the Atlantic and have a fair bit of footage yet to catch up on, hope this doesn’t spoil the image. We did post regularly during the crossing on Facebook which you might find in our history. We may even repost these stories during the next few weeks, cheers.
I enjoy your videos so much, thank you! Safe travels 🎉
Glad you enjoy them and thank you for taking the time to comment, cheers.
What fun!
Thanks, it certainly was.
What a great community of like minded people FW&FS for your crossing see you on the other side {:-) PAV UK
Thanks Pav, excited mixed with a little touch of nervousness, biggest passage to date cheers
Aaah soo good 👍 You could feel the excitement as you left .
Hey Mal, yeah big moment cheers
What an exciting start to your journey. Loved the video and the music . Have a very happy Easter guys!😘😘😘
Thanks Dot, happy Easter to you too. We hope all is well in your world 😘😘
Amazing.
Thanks
Excellent. Bloody excellent.
Cheers Graeme
Turn me Loose.... excellent send off tune
We love our music, glad you liked it
Cleaning boat bottom and he has not properly protected his head and especially e a r s !! Will folks ever learn??
Must have missed something, been doing it this way for years cheers
@@LetsDanceSailing many folks complain of ear infections days after ceaning boat bottoms. This is causd by microscopic orgasms and even small crabs, yes crabs which find themselves near an open warm canal..... ear canal and enter. The treatment for this is time consuming and can be very painful. The unfortunate thing is that folks usually clean hulls before they embark on a passage thus leaving no retreat for medical attention. Your eyes and nose are protected by the mask however, if you have a head of hair, they will migrate to your hair and if not thoroughly washed with lots of suds, will eventually find their way to ears, eyes, nose . Get the logic behind my warning?
@@lets_go_see_ wow, never heard of anyone actually being inflicted like this but I guess it makes sense. Particularly important when preparing for an ocean crossing as you say, no support was you push off. Thanks for the insight cheers.
@@LetsDanceSailing You are welcome and yes, it happens more that you may think. Safe days ahead. Ttfn
