- *** This is the first ever video we made. Please be gentle ;) We've improved our video production A LOT since we made this video. For better videos, skip to ep 11.
We’re Elena and Ryan. We quit our jobs to live aboard SV Kittiwake and set off on a sailing adventure on a budget. In this episode we tell you a bit about our voyage and give you a boat tour. Join us as we sail from the UK to the Mediterranean over summer 2017 and 2018. Subscribe to our channel for more videos!
Thanks for watching our first sailing vlog; we hope you enjoyed it. In the NEXT EPISODE, we’ll set off from Falmouth (UK) and sail to the Isles of Scilly - some tropical-looking islands off the coast of Cornwall.

Hey! This is an old video. Our videos have improved massively since this one. For better quality episodes, skip to season 2 or 3.
Season 2 - Sailing Kittiwake around the Mediterranean: czcams.com/video/KOy0A3vTtGg/video.html
Season 3 - Upgrading to a 37ft American design sailboat: czcams.com/video/6sy5T57UryM/video.html
Hi sailing kittiwake that's a nice catamaran plenty of room nice layout to it has everything needed very relaxing most of the time i will check out your other videos

@@allanpixley4151 sailing is very relaxing I've always loved the sea and sailing but i also love the countryside fields woodlands/forests hunting etc I've always been an outdoorsy guy from a very young age
Bigger car, bigger house, bigger boat = bigger expense.....
Where did you get the music, btw?
That looks a lot of boat for 10K. I really like it. And I really like the video. It is nice to see someone that I can identify with. I will never have 500K to spend on a boat, so although it is nice to see content of people living on them, your boat makes me think, "Could I do that?". And don't apologize for the video. I watched it, and only thought, "Wow, that looks great!" Liked the music too. I have yet to see your later productions, but I doubt they will be any better than this. Truly, this gets 10 out of 10 from me.
Awwww thanks so much, Neale! ❤️
that outboard motor setup is pure genius !
Thanks for letting us in to see your boat/home. It is a cool looking Tiny sailboat. The take away was you two were very much enjoying the freedom. Keep on, and enjoy the ride of adventures...
Wow, that boat has a lot for such a small footprint. Very nice!
Lot,s of space for a small cat I for one am very impressed
We do love her 😊 she’s perfect for us 😊
You guys seem to have a safety conscious and courteous attitude, which I found refreshing. As with Dylan's videos, I appreciate it when you give a little historical overview of some of the places that you visit. I appreciate that you worked so hard to whip your boat into shape.
+Rich Acuti thanks a lot Rich! Dylan is definitely an inspiration.
i’m very impressed with your life style choice. wish you all the best.
I think your video is fine..don't pay attention to the jealous haters !
Thank you 🙏 We have improved our videos so much though, it’s a bit embarrassing for us to watch these old ones 😊
I thought the "sound effects" were one of the best bits of this one -- told me that I'd probably prefer a monohull, built of either wood or ferrocement. (Though I suppose that one gets Well Used to the constant slap of wavelets; such that you feel a bit uncomfortable, staying at a land-based motel!)
@@SailingKittiwake Well, l loved this video, amazing sea shots and cool relaxing music. Looking forward to see how you improve your videos on season 2. Keep it up! Greetings from Honduras.
Your video is just fine, and I enjoyed watching it
I just watched it today from London, whoever has anything negative to say is just hating, I don’t know why people are like this smh, be proud! Be happy and you’ve got a subscriber with me
Any video about sailing and happy memories is good in my dictionary!
Your catamaran would be perfect for sailing the Mediterranean!
Aw thank you!
@@SailingKittiwake I did subscribe to your channel.
Can't wait to see how your adventure unfolds. Great first episode! You're going to have so much fun.
Dawn Connelly thanks ever so much Dawn! So far, so good (we're 2 months in in real time and already having tons of fun) 😊
Y’all make that lifestyle look awesome!! Keep the travel dream alive!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
My what a lot of boat in less than 30’. Great editing here, this video is really fantastic. Love the montages with music. CZcams needs more of that. Who cares about a little wind noise in your first video. Really great editing!
Yeeeppeee! Thanks a lot Roger ☺️ We do get better at making videos in the next 70+ episodes 😊 promise.
It’s really 2 boats compared to a monohull.
You are both cool cats! I look forward to watching the rest of the videos and your journey....
I love the design of your boat!! I especially like the outboard motor design !!
Thank you for the tour. I just love this vessel. Would be great if I could see it with my own eyes. I like the way you've settled yourselves in and organized too. Fair winds.
Thanks so much. If you’re ever in the Med, give us a shout 😊 Fair winds!
Very down to earth people, & done on a low budget, but high quality living. Life is what you make it. I love the boat & your simple lifestyles.
Thank you! ☺️
what a great little boat! The layout is interesting.
Thank you! 😊
This is awesome. I really like the description of the fridge, where you keep your beers. lol. That's awesome.
Perfect boat for you guys to set out on your adventures. Simple, spacious with everything you need but no excess. Even has the outboard motor as a backup if things turn to custard. Happy sailing, stay safe and enjoy.
Cheers Richard! 😊
Great video. Love the catamaran!
Excellent upload guys. Maintaining your own boat is all graft and you guys show the reality. Makes the good times that much sweeter.
Cheers D Main! Very true.
Kudos to you both. All the best. Live your dream.
At last, a sailing video that works on my budget! Fantastic!
Fair winds chaps!
+mindyourownbusiness thanks so much!
This is a great starter video guys... please don't apologise. Lots of us really appreciate the authenticity and honesty rather than slick productions and super-duper improvements etc. We actually want to see your progression for what it actually is. I'll be working my way through from this very beginning video like most others I suspect. Hope you guys are safe & happy! I'm sure you have been asked this a thousand times but how much was the boat and where did you get it from... just for repetitions sake of course?
Thanks. We got her in Falmouth for £9.5K.
@@SailingKittiwake Bargain!
Enjoyed watching. Big boat. Lucky guys. Amazing she is moved with only a 9hp outboard 👍👍👍👍
very interesting and spacious boat for 26" long. I really like it. Great tour. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! She was a great first boat 😊
Love that boat seems like they made good use of the limited space onboard
Love the center cockpit. Never saw a catamaran with one. Very cool.
Cheers Grey. The Ocean Twins model is a bigger version of Kittiwake with centre cockpit. It’s substantially bigger in every respect. Interesting boat!!😊
Nicely done guys. I've watched a lot of these sailing vlogs and yours was just the right amount of personal and boat info and of course some sailing. Neat little craft you have there.
+Billy m thanks a lot Billy!
What a lovely little Cat you have 👌🏼 oh and a good video too 👍🏼
+Sailing SV Compromise thanks a lot! We do love her 😊
Really enjoyed your episode 1, it was a really practical & interesting video. It looks like you have put a lot of effort into prepping your boat. It looks in fab condition. Going to watch ep 2 now!
+Wes Wilkinson thanks a lot Wes! We hope you enjoy our next episodes 😊
Nice video; what a smashing little cat. Looking forward to catching up on the journey so far...
Aw thanks so much, Jack!
The sale of your Catamaran, has brought me here, fantastic videoing, now I'm hooked on watching.
Awesome! Thanks for watching. The videos become better filmed once we’re in Portugal and haul out 😊
Nice job! Love the music. Keep doing what your doing. I'm already a fan. Happy sails!
+Andrew Van Dellen cheers Andrew! All the best to you 😊
Very unique boat. I like it!
Tour starts at 3:30 This is such a beautiful boat worth looking at and all in only 26 ft. Amazing! Best of everything to both of you!
Cheers Mark! 😊 Fair winds.
You can’t compare monohull and cats only on length.
I think that this is a great video. Shows you dont have to be a millionaire to sail across the oceans.
@GameliEL Auceps A line from "The Chesapeake Bay" song.
"I dreamed of sailin' around the world,
but I got to old and the dream just failed.
Now I'm sailin' my last days on the Chesapeake Bay
and I don't give a damn what the in-laws say..."
Love it! Really great tone to the vlog. Nice music. Looking forward to more. Safe travels. Xx
+Jenna Robinson thanks very much :) hopefully we won't run out of good songs!
Inspiring couple!
Wow love your cat, it's phenomenal especially considering the price tag! 👍👍
We love her too - such good value and super sturdy 😊
Well done you two, great video! A beautiful boat too, I love cats and haven't seen this design yet, looks like an ideal small cat for two people. I look forward to following you along on your travels. Safe sailing! 👍🏼😊
+AfricanFlightStar thanks so much! 😊😊😊
Good luck guys look forward to your videos
What an awesome little cat. Fair winds to you.
Cheers Andreas! Hope you stick around to watch her venture south 😊🤞
Like your videos very informative God Bless you Guys
This popped up on my recommended list and glad it did. Enjoyed the video very much. Happy Trails
Glad you enjoyed it, hope you enjoy the rest :)
Just found your channel, brilliant. I will binge watch next week at work. I have a similar old beast that i am pretty much rebuilding. Love the layout of the HT.
Wow. If this is the quality of your first video I can't wait to see your future ones. Really excellent introduction. Thank you.
Aw thanks so much! They do get a lot better in season 2 😊
You're certainly not short of solar panels! Really nice introduction, it will be fun to follow your adventures.
Philippa James hehe true! Thanks a lot Philippa :)
Here's hoping to see some travelogue of the channel and history of the beautiful lights and seaports. Also the Channel Islands, Scilly and more. Glad for all you might share.
I Can not wait till you both set off into the med !
What a lovely couple and I love you're boat .
You're music is fab ! I'm hooked !
👍👍👍👍

+Ed Rosenberger thanks so much Ed! Really nice of you 😊
Amazingly well thought out boat You two've got there.
And an approach which made me a subscriber right away half way through Your boat tour (... which I saw as the second of Your vlogs)!
Thank You for being out there as well!
+manfred schmalbach thanks so much Manfred!
Loving the music!
Yeepppeee!
well done you two - excellent start - nicely edited - mostly good sound
Thanks a lot Dylan! Coming from a salty seadog like you, it's a huge compliment!
Just don't spout a load of flawed agenda driven propaganda in your vids and alienate half your viewers like some do. (cough)
Ian Sailing - What channel’s do that a lot? I’m curious because I have watched a couple but don’t think I’ve seen stuff like that for the most part.
Just found your channel, 2 videos watched and now subscribed. I believe Ive got binge watching to do! I appreciate the real world narrative; the pace of your editing complements this. I look forward to learning of you
Thanks so much Don! Let us know what you think 😊
Nice to see ! This is an excellent video.
Thanks so much Michael!
That was just wonderful, well done. I absolutely love your catamaran, never seen anything like it. Looking forward to following your adventure. Smooth sailing. Cheers!
The Butte Life thanks ever so much! Fair winds :)
Sailing Kittiwake interesting look at a nice boat ,I have to look up your vessel type it's obviously a sturdy sailing vessel or it would not have lasted almost 40 years ,any plans on crossing the Atlantic?
Welcome aboard guys, great editing, great video, and great music, I want to stay strong I will follow your journey through my IPod Pro 12.9
Cheers Jason! Hope you'll like our newer videos too :)
Great video! Thank you for sharing. Writing from St Petersburg, Fl.
Just subscribed and looking forward to catching up on all the episodes. Well done to both of you for following your dreams and making it happen!
Cheers Matthew! Let us know what you think 😊
What a beautiful boat!
wow i cant believe all the space you have on a boat that size. impressive
Hi, Don't apologize for the video quality. It is brilliant. Content is far more important than quality and your is a really good video. I'm currently in the market for a boat. All the best!
Great boat and tour, thank you
What a great boat. Glad I found your channel!!
Welcome aboard!
A great introduction! I have just discovered you and I am now a subscriber. Looking forward to catching up on all episodes.
Yay! Thanks so much Paul! 🤗 We hope you enjoy the channel 🤞
Great start. Wishing you the best!
+DAM FLA thanks a lot!
Marvelous! 1981 I got a Heavenly Twins cat out of Milford Haven. Fixed it up and took it to the Scottish Isles the first year and round Ireland After that. Loved that boat .It felt very safe. After 10 years teaching ,and 2 house do up's , I got a Fontaine Pajot for the round the world! Hi from Thailand. Too many pirates in Sudan tho . ha ha ha
Great beginning video!!!
Waiting for more!!! :)
Valde Philosophical Asmr thanks a lot for your support! Yes, we follow you too on Twitter 😊🙌🏻
I just found your Vlog and I am so glad I did. Love everything about it. Wonderful video. Appropriate music. Can't wait to see the next chapter. May God grant you fair winds, calm seas and safe achorages at the end of every passage.
the Old Coastie.
+John J Cox III thanks ever so much for your kind words John! We look forward to share our adventures with you. Elena ans Ryan
Keep up the great work guys!!!
Thanks Paul! 😊
Never seen a cat with that kind of setup. I like it
Brits sailing a catamaran on a budget - well done guys. Looking forward to watching your continental adventure.
Anton Nath thanks so much Anton :) Elena's Italian but she's flattered you thought she was a Brit :D
Unique boat. Awesome
Thanks Michael!
Great video , love the natural charm . Good luck guys and wish you all the best life has to offer.
Thanks so much Herbert! Fair winds!
Super cute katam u get, it looks homey and compact, congrat. Guys from France!
Thank you!
Really like the boat tour..
You've sold me at this introduction 👌, can't wait to watch the rest.. and you are doing this on £500 per month 😳😳😳😳
Haha yay! 😊 Thanks. Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos 😊 The filming and editing gets better towards ep 11/12 onwards 😊
Love that your cat has a wooden front instead of the normal trampoline. If I could have a cat like that I'd want the same thing myself. The ONLY things I think I'd want to change about that cat is installing electric water pumps. Seems you have more than enough power to deal with them,.
Nice! I'm always super grumpy with youtube sailing channels and i only like Delos but i liked this, humble, honest, simple, beautiful! Only saw this first video bu you got one more subscription, not much, i know, but i gotta save if i wanna sail too!
Hey Frosty, thanks for the comment - hope you enjoy the other videos!
Nice videos! I much admire your courage to undertake the journey in such a nutshell. Go ahead!
+Christian Müller thanks Christian! She’s a tough little nutshell and we’ve always felt completely safe onboard :) a great first boat for wannabe sea gypsies like us.
Wow. What an amazing adventure and such a cute little Cat. We were looking at the Gemini 105mc series to do something similar but ended up in a monohaul instead for head height.
I love this little cat 💕
Aw thank you ☺️
Love videos like these. You guys make the dream a possibility for people who aren’t filthy rich!
found you during lockdown brilliant! hope to watch the rest soon
Cheers Alan! 😊 We hope you enjoy the videos. For better quality ones skip to season 2 or 3 😊
@@SailingKittiwake saw nothing wrong with your first vid but i`m no expert will watch the whole lot hell! I`ve nothing else to do and you bring a bit of light in these dark times hope you are both well regards Alan
Glad you are one of the few which went sailing, getting a boat,even a cat,below 100 000 !would be my choice too.Chilling music,like it.
I like the little spy red ! Beautiful ! 😉
really enjoyable video! informative and genuine. Got lots of ideas from you both as i am currently working on a heavenly twin 26
Such a lovely wee video thanks ❤️
beautiful boat.....happy sailing
Cheers Richard! 😊
Next to Sy Zero you're my favorites. So genuine.
+Strategic Thinker thanks very much! Glad you're enjoying our trip, we're enjoying sharing with people like you :)
Oh wow.. I love your boat and I'm so happy for you about this great adventure. Looking forward to wacht your other movies. Love from Switzerland.
Nice video, congratuletions from shouth brazil!
Perfect escapism from the daily commute for me. I have subscribed. I wish both of you the best. Btw I found your channel from the article in the guardian newspaper
Thanks so much Les! Stay safe out there.
She was a damned pretty and well made craft to start off with! You were starting a road down which most do not have the courage to go.
