Before we set off for Iceland I have been getting the boat shipshape and ready for action, come take a quick look around with me and see for yourself !

Great to find your channel. Looks an awesome boat so I’ll catch some earlier videos to find out more about it. Safe passage. Andy UK
Thanks!
Fair winds!
mr~ how’s life?~you made breathtaking !
I've done almost all of my offshore sailing single-handed. Most of the time on boats around 30 ft. I can't imagine doing that on a boat that big. My hats off to you sir. Best of luck.🙂
You could do it! Same skill set you use for the 30 footers- you just have to walk further between problems :)
Boat looks awesome! Definitely have done quite a bit since you picked it up. Looking forward to some of the onboard footage underway.
That's the plan!
D for damage here :) Boat is looking fantastic. Great to see you enjoying yourself after such a stressful couple of years. Just delivered Roaring Forty, my Lutra BOC Open 40 to A Coruna Spain where the GSC starts next year. I have implemented a number of your tips over the years.
D4! :) Great to hear from you :) We might be seeing more of each other than you might have expected next year :) Marco says my start will be sometime early December ;) Where do you expect to be by then ??
@@CSMtheMariner great stuff, Marco announced today that GSC entry was now available for the Open 60 beasts. Good shakedown for that west-about record :).
Torqeedo outboard..... Big mistake very big mistake?
the torqeedo is absolutely brilliant and I say that without any arm twisting from the manufacturer - however on this last trip I did discover a problem- when it came time to get the unit out of its soft storage bags after a heavy passage at sea I discovered the plastic propellor had broken in half.. hence not being able to use it - so the learning is - you HAVE to have a spare prop on hand if this is going to be a long term choice - it’s not like on a normal outboard where you can be a little rough with it- the torqeedo needs babying a little.
