Welcome to Chasing Latitudes! Have you ever imagined the smell of the ocean air as your boat crashes through the waves? The freedom that comes from casting off the bow lines and heading out to sea to explore new places you can’t reach by car or airplane? Then this channel is for you.
You will not see white sand beaches here, restaurant reviews, beach parties, selfies or Japanese knives. What you will find is factual information based on decades of sailing experience.
My channel is specifically meant for one thing and one thing only, to help YOU find your new to you fancy-dancy yacht of your dreams and get on the water in the fastest, most time efficient manner.
Don’t get caught up in looking at old boats! I focus on mostly newer vessels, built in 2000 or later because I want you to spend as much of your time as possible sailing, not practicing your restoration skills on an old boat attempting to bring it to its former glory.
You want to take advantage of the amazing newer technology and modern hull designs when it comes to sailing. This is going to make your vessel far easier to sail solol or short handed and make them far more comfortable and efficient to live aboard full time or even just weekenders without buying more boat than you need.
I offer a wide variety of services including consulting where I will take you through the entire process of how to budget properly, choosing what vessel size will work for your needs, what type of vessel, I will help you shop for vessels, determine offer prices, schedule surveys, talk with brokers, teach you how to do your own pre-survey, walk you through hiring the correct surveyor and help you avoid all of the common pitfalls that you will find when purchasing used sailing vessels.
The consulting does not stop there, I will be with you every step of the way and long after you have purchased your vessel as consulting also comes with lifetime access to the members area,.
Chasing Latitudes hosts a large, active private members area where the members are more than happy to offer their own experience to solve problems, host private videos for ASA Sailing quizzes (ASA 101, 103, & 104), and live stream videos which feature anything from member cruising to boat shopping, boat comparisons, and other live content with chat from the subscribers to my CZcams channel and channel members.
It’s time for YOU to get on the water. Come aboard!
One thing to keep in mind…..the ASA courses can help you to get the ICC, which is required in most European countries to charter a boat. Of course if you don’t plan on chartering in the Med it’s not an issue, but as far as I am concerned, chartering is an excellent way to build experience and to discover various boats. I don’t own a boat yet and I am working my way to more experience in that manner, and I love it. Note that I actually took the Canadian Sailing standards rather than the ASA, but the overall approach is similar (although they tell me Canada Sail is much more rigorous than the ASA).
RYA gets you your ICC as well if you are not a European citizen (you have to check if you are eligible)
I think option, hire you, makes way more sense!!!
For real.
Another terrific video! It's like you know exactly the questions we have, the journey of knowledge and possible boat ownership we're on. Chris, you're the only guy on CZcams doing that. So happy I found your videos...your web site.
As someone who is currently climbing the RYA training ladder (in Europe), the Dayskipper theory and practical covers most of the things you need if you want to buy and operate your own boat. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? In my opinion, yes.
It is worth going to Competent crew / day skipper / coastal skipper to different schools to learn about different types of seas, for example the Ionian in Greece is very very different from the North Sea or the ocean in Portugal or Canaries.
Do you need Yachtmaster or Coastal skipper? No, most likely you don't "need" that, with Dayskipper, you are fine at most places when it comes to chartering.
I just got back last week from a boat charter off Tampa Bay. Went out to the gulf for the week on a Dufour 430 got my 101 103 Asa certification 104 106 is next
Hi what company did you sign with?
@@Seaward1224 waypoints out of st Petersburg. Ask for Beth they treated us really well. MIKE was our captain/instructor. Tell Mike the Sicilian Pirate ☠️ sent you. Lol.
12:10 toronto! sailing capital of ...uhhh...toronto!
Having taken the RYA Day Skipper course, I can say that it was well worth the $. For the price of what the ASA is now charging, you can fly from the US to Europe, live on the boat you're training on, and come away with a certification that will pay you back with reduced insurance, for not much more out of pocket.
Agree 100%
Community Education has classes too. Did that years ago with in person class learning, and sailed on the teacher's boat at the end
Really amazing info! Thank you.
I can’t wait! I hope you will be our captain and just can’t wait! To start my dream with YOU!
I took the ASA 101 course, I'm glad I did. I'm even more glad i took a few daysails first. They were on a Hunter 43, a Beneteau 393 and a Norseman 400 and I'm glad I did! Because if i had jumped straight in to the course and the first sailboat I was ever on was those Colgate 26s we trained with, I don't think I would have ever tried sailing again.
Definitely will be seeking you out when i get ready to buy.
Here for it!
Thank you, Mr Fatitudes. I'm commenting for the Alco Rythem God's so your video may be based by Google Analytics, rather than cringed by those who can nor be named.
you da best, thank you
Nice job. Have to say you have a great voice too.
Any sailboats with 6’4” hight? I would love to retire on one. Have friend with home in Palm Bay and dock access. So dingy and car parking free. Basically sail around Florida and up east coast.
I want to do what tour doing lol, fly to people train em. Make bank. Keep on cruising
Do these consulting packages also apply to Europe, Belgium in particular?
Yes
You have a book?? What is it?
