I'd love to see a full video that went from a cup-of-tea to sailing, demonstrating how you single-handedly deploy the sails, then sail to a destination, then pack the sails back up and moor! That would be fascinating!
I'm back on the boat at the moment so will be doing a few more boaty things. Another type of Vlog style as mentioned but also highlighting the joys of just boat ownership, lots of people when they're looking into boats focus on the sailing and sea worthiness of the boats. But for most of the time people enjoy their boats in the marinas, the communities, the parties the areas and the tinkering/projects. Which is a big part of it. I'm based in the UK in the Bristol channel with 2nd largest tidal range in the world so really need to be spot on with favorable weather conditions. The video will show a few bits and bobs that I need to do. The rigging wasn't done correctly when I paid for the local professional. So that will be on.
I gave the boat a quick once over and my gear was mostly in the car as I was heading off. Thanks for leaving a comment and liking the video if you did. Please let me know if you would like to see anything else or have anymore questions. Thank you.
I do like peoples comments questions and feedback. Thank you for liking and subscribing if you did. I hope my videos are helpful and i can improve on them over time.
Nice bud! Found your channel through the finance video you done, on how you can afford this lifestyle and investments etc... I'm particularly interested in that side of things, as I'm considering the liveaboard life and I just want to make sure my finances are strong first... But from different sources, I don't think it would cost any more than a house to run, less infact. Anyhow, nice boat!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and liking the video. I actually did a popular video where I had broken down 4 years of owning the boat. My advice would be to make sure you have a place for the boat, along with if there are any restrictions on the boat usage. Lots of marina's do not allow people to live on their boats full time. From time to time my marina throw out emails and messages about the length of boat usage, Ironically the same people are the ones who use their boats more than me lol. My work is pretty seasonal and as a result for the last 3 months I have not been on the boat boat at all. Work has picked up which means lots of driving and hotels. I managed to pay the boat off last year and my aim is to do what I used to before the boat. That was go back packing at the start of the year for 4 months. Ditch the poor weather etc. I'm also looking to swap my car for a van for when the weather is less boat friendly. I do live in a few different places over all the UK and for months have been looking after my folks as my dad isn't well. If you are looking for a boat I would go somewhere in autumn/early winter to do a day skipper course iit's 5 days in total. Gets you use to reality of boat life trust me it's easy to fall in love with boat life when the sun and rum is out. But the reality is it's hard work maintenance is a biggie. If you are 100% looking for a boat, then I would choose one with things like a cockpit enclosure, something around 32-36ft. Check things like the upholstery engine etc as these are all expensive jobs. My boat doesn't have an enclosure and I have been quoted £5k for example. (they are the tents on the back of the boat) Feel free to ask any questions, I do like peoples comments questions and feedback. Thank you for liking and subscribing if you did.
That is a very well maintained boat. She looks to be in beautiful condition. I have a 2014 Jeanneau 409. Which I believe is the model released after yours. Very similar but interesting to see the difference.
Thank you, I do plan to have some upgrades to the boat over time. Ideally, I want to be at anchor comfortably for a few weeks at a time. If you have any recommendations please let me know. Thank you if you liked and subscribed and I hope to continue making a mix of content over time.
I hope so, this year I'll be doing my day skipper, work for the last 6 months has been a bit slow but picking up now. So hopefully next month the boat will be out of the water changing sensors and AntiFouling. I will probably make an episode about it as I'll be trying out some chemical strippers and will also do the pricing of how much it cost. Thank you for taking the time to comment, liking, and subscribing if you have. Have a great day.
Hi there.. your vid popped up in my u tube feed for the 1st time. Chuffed!). Super vid, again btw.! Cheers. ( been busy and missed loads :/ ) .. and I've yet to reply to your ( comments, under comments, appologies.) What's the thing, 're occasional crew? I'm curious, having enjoyed boating, way back. I'd happily volunteer to help, on occasion, time/ locatoion permitting etc. .Just for the fun of boatyness, design, excellent use of space.. and so on. Do you hsve a website, too / contact ? Keep up.the good work. Goodnight .
If your looking to crew on people's boats perhaps look at websites like crew bay or join a local marina. My friends who take people on prefer to have crew who have a day skipper and a little experience. You can do things like a day skipper course online they're around £300 then you can head on a week course they tend to go for around £1000 for a week. Personally I'm looking at a website called nav at home when I have spare time and will likly do my course in somewhere like Gibraltar. I have no affiliation with any of those mentioned. At the moment it's been challenging to get to the marina due to work commitments. I do have some other videos for example I talk about the 2500 miles that I've sailed on a mix of boats along with breaking down the cost of boat ownership on my own boat. Hope this helps that's for liking the video and subscribing if you have. Have a great day.
Yeah, it was a good deal for me :-) I may do a video about if I was going to buy a boat again what I would look for. I always like look at people's comments and questions so feel free to ask :-)
@@serenitycoastUK Oh yes! I bought my first boat this year Hunter 23 to see how I got on. I paid for a survey and it was absolutely useless! Everyone I contacted said it would be 6 weeks until they could look at it. That was my first insight into the marine industry! Luckily we met someone down the marina who recommended a guy who has been amazing. Spent about £4,000 on all the bits that got missed by the survey. However, 24 ft is just a bit too small so I want to upgrade to a 32ft + next season. Prices are still pretty high tho compared to what you paid.

Nice tour of your boat. She's looking good, spotless even!

What was the price of the boat?
I made a video called 4 years of boat ownership where I break down the cost. I brought it for £44,000
Still can't belive you paid £44,000
