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! - Zábava
First time I solo, it was a very windy day, and high swells. I couldn't figure out to reef, my sails, ended up running just the main sail since I didn't want to overpower the boat. It was embarrassing, but I did learn what not to do. So I know his pain.
Note to self....double and triple check if auto pilot engaged. Thanks milo. By the way, the smile on his face afterward was great! Hes having a ball.
After years of being in small power boats that were only made for sheltered waters my first time sailing was with the owner and a friend who were both drinkers, neither were interested in actually sailing the boat so gave me a quick tutorial and they continued drinking which suited me just fine, as we sailed out past Lion Island (Pittwater Australia) the swell suddenly got huge so I turned into it as you would in a power boat but the owner quickly grab the tiller and put us back to almost side on and before I shit myself we lifted up and over with hardly a change in heel, it was then that I was hooked, I spent the rest of the day barreling around the island as well as outside to Palm Beach then on return surfing the same swell only bigger back in... there were a lot of boats out but only three of us with sails up, one of which I was racing and actually beating (heeled over with up to 6” of the deck in the water) I questioned the lack of sails only to be told “it’s too windy to be sailing today” His girlfriend did warn me that he was dangerous but hey, ignorance can be fun and his little 26’ boat was built to race, the only luxury it had was a head, there were no berths or seating of any kind in the cabin: it was obvious they could be built into it but he built it himself in New Zealand and only ever intended to race it... it’s a day I’ll never forget.
1st timer handling a 51 ft boat -- he seems be doing a fine job -- impressive. So fortunate to be out there -- looks dreamy.
Mr. Latitudes!
Watch Sailing Florence. I don't know how she does it but she catches the waves really well. It's incredible cinematography.
I’m hoping to be able to sail full time someday, but as I’m only 17, it could be a few more years until that’ll be possible. Must be nice being able to travel wherever you want at any time!
You walked right past the beer!
Aww, not getting notifications for the premieres! A little birdie says you have a bad word on your vid, tsk tsk. 😜
Thanks for sharing, and thanks to Myloh for letting you put him on blast, lol!
using a drone and getting a farther away 3/4 angle of the waves/vessel would prob give a better showing of how big the waves truly are , but , trying to launch and retrieve a drone in rougher seas is pro not a great idea
Is Milo retired? He seems pretty young.
He's mid 40s, I'd call it semi retired
NO Rockstars! How do you function?
I ran out on this trip. ,,then I get grumpy
Mylo is a stud. No sailing experience and buys a 50ft boat then hires someone to teach him. You are a rare breed my friend. All the best to you. Good call on not having a lady friend along for this stage…
😃👍👏👏👏
RRR
too much profanity = dislike and leave in the first 25 seconds....that should be edited out...a business should not have such mess
Move along Randall…
I have about 600 videos, there is profanity in maybe 3 of them,
They’re on a sail boat, means they’re sailors. Don’t you know what sailors do. They ride sailboats, say bad words, and drink rum.
Was just going to comment that the swells don't show up on the video .
