I’m really inspired by what you are doing. Your videos are brilliant. I’m very keen to cruise this area myself. I have contacted my current insurers who are not willing to underwrite this destination. Are you able to advise on yacht insurers who are able to insure for cruising Svalbard?

Glad you enjoyed the videos and managed to find some inspiration, hope you manage to organise the trip the area is amazing. We were insured by GJW who were already our insurers. As a word of advise put together a written itinerary and try to speak directly to the insurance companies underwriters as most insurance companies online application process will simple reject the request.

Wow. That was excellent. I had a similar issue with our last boat a 30 year old Dehler. I had the tank cleaned but I was not convinced it was a permanent solution.

Ha,i just encountered your videos,and as always the first thing that strikes me is the low vieuws,like in other channels who comment theyr journeys on a honest way without a touch off “ dramasailing” like mr A ,or “bikini and snorkelsailing “like sailing V its all ends up with poor vieuwnumbers. Off course i assume you wont make a living on your adventures,but as i now from experience….its hurting a little bit. For example if we compare mr anderaa ,with mr patrick laine,well its obvious that the last his achievements are a lot greater…. So it seems that people like more drama ( and bikinis) than honest adventurers. Besides that,i just got back from an summer trip wich brought me to oa orkney,fair isle,Shetland,far oe,hebrides inclisive st kilda .skey ,two channels in Scotland etc,that I realised once again …that sailing is the most uncomfortable,most expensive,with the lowest freedom( wind,tides,shoals etc) off all ……😅😂😂

How has the copper coat been performing? Been toying with the idea, many mixed reviews. We live in the tropics of Australia, dont use the boat as much as we want to! Sits on a swing mooring for a month or so at a time.
@SailingHiraeth25 күн бұрын
So far the cooppercoat has been great, been on 4 years now and we have had good results. We lightly abraded it with scotchbright pads for the first time this year as we had a small amount of slim on waterline when we got lifting at end last season. Based on current performance we expect to get at least another four years out of it. Most problems seem to be caused by poor preparation and incorrect application always follow their temp and humidity application advice. We found Coopercoat had a excellent customer service and are great if you need to discuss your particular requirements, they even offered to video call us on the day we were applying to advise.

Just finished watching your Scottish series, and I absolutely love it! You two make really lovely edits, I’ve seen a few vlogs around Scottish waters but yours are my favourite by far. I’ve subscribed to your channel and I’m gonna enjoy your other work. Keep up the great work guys!!!! Fair weathers to you both ☀️ 💨⛵️

Flogging sails downwind in very light airs is a total bummer. In fact, I was cussing just this morning along the south Norwegian coast...leftover seas from last night's near-gale and 8 knots of wind...
