    I think there’s a fourth Jim Davidson…….. a serious Seafarer 🇬🇧🙂
    Credit to him……. he has a laid back humorous approach to most of his life, but you can tell he has a pride in professionalism with his boating.
    Apart from that, he’s a national treasure and has a heart of Gold 🙂❤️
    Lovely chat Nick, lovely upgrading Jim 🙂🇬🇧

    This chat is something you can listen to for hours. Funny, Easy, and Happy. Boats give so much freedom, that's what I'm learning from Jim. To him the boat is no different to a car, hop on and go where you want to and have fun.

  • @Sarrienne
    @Sarrienne Před rokem +21

    What I think makes Jim such a crowd pleaser in these videos is how much he geeks out over all the boaty bits. Unlike many celebrity owners, Jim clearly has done his research, knows the life and has put in the hours at the helm. He's an operator, not just an owner, and that level of authenticity shines through!

      Jim's the worst kind of grifter, he keeps this 'man of the people' persona whilst doleing out mainstream media lies that damage the very people he claims to be a part of, but hey let's ignore all that, it's bought him a pretty boat, that's what's important 👍

    @simonrowney6159 Před rokem +23

    Boat looks great, Jim as entertaining as ever, but you really feel the passion he has for his boat in these videos. I guess the combination of convenience and escape and ability to become invisible when out of the harbour (which he doesn’t get on or near land as proved in the video) must be hugely attractive for him.

    “I don’t think anyone’s told him it’s supposed to be difficult.” Is a great line, and so true. It’s how I started sailing, and with luck and good judgement and just enough knowledge, I survived the experience and did things I really shouldn’t have done in the early days.

    great vid Nick. Jims a legend. he seems like the kind of guy that would happily show his boat to anyone. not saying people should just go but i get the feeling he would be happy to talk about his boat.

    I do love that bloke.
    Grown up with him on T.V with "Home James", "Big break" and many other things that I just can't remember them all right now.
    My absolute best wishes to James and his family.
    I do hope he's well.
