Nice episode on the HR 26 - easy to sail and do-everything-boat 🙂

Would you happen to know what the cloth cover overhead in the main cabin @7:00 minutes is covering up?

Made by the same corporation that makes Lagoon. So what are the bulkheads made of? Is it the same single sheet of plywood that Lagoon used on the 450 model?

I can hear the water slapping in the aft cabin.

Id be loath to try that trisail maneuver singlehanding. Separate track for sure. Great video, original boat rigged a lot like my P.S. Crealock 34

I noticed that when hove to, the backed storm jib sheet was hard on the stays. In retrospect would it have been better to rig it inside rather than out? Anyone with knowledge / experience of heaving to please feel free to answer!

What boat and size ? Sorry if I missed it...

Would I charter one, yes. Would I buy one, No.

This was my dream boat until I saw it’s got a V drive 🤮🤮

Went round sun odyssey boats at the boat show this week. The quality of internal design, product selection and finish left a lot to be desired. Doors, that would not close, cheap looking veneered board. I was not impressed I’m afraid

Minor thought on how a back stay operates on a temporary inner stay in conjunction and normal headstay. How do you tighten the temp stay when the normal stay is already shouldering it's load? All educated opinions welcome. Just wondering whether to avoid boats that already have this rig as at times their masts may have distorted the deckstepped cabin top or hull and rammed the keel.

what happened ? you stopped making videos ?

The only bad thing about them Carbon fibre masks is if the are damaged or broken you will find it hard to repair them if you are in some wee island

The Contessa looked great. Big seas make a boat seem small

They put the chessboard in 90 degree wrong. Like this you have to play over the length of the table 😢

You would need to take a trailer licemce though if you are younger as 750kg gross is the max tow weight withoit one.

Great video with some good learning points. Especially the points about touch-screens.

How easy is it to sail single handed?

17:45 it would have been nice to see the wave and how you were riding it while we listened to your words rather than just watching you speak

I love the seating behind the wheel, because I have a bad knee and need a $230k foot rest.

You been on the juice, Theo? 😂

Young sailors, you can learn more in a few short minutes watching this video than years on your own sailing.

I was wondering at what point during your transatlantic voyage would the batteries give out. Would the boat be dead in the water?

Who on earth is gonna do that scary fiddely fiddely messing with inner stays? When there is a storm going on? What crazy paperback rigger has designed that ship? He is a murderer! And if you have a storm gib, put a CHAIN and two shackles under it, not some shoelace. It will break at those spots where you force it to bend that sharp. Saint Nicolas, help this man. He even SAYS do it better!

Just the video I needed to watch, and wish I'd known all this before I had my first storm in the channel, that I only just by chance survived. Thanks for such a very clear and informed video. I'm going to check now to see if you've written a teaching book.

Very nice looking boat But not in everybody's reach money wise That's if said purchaser also has enough storage space and time for such a boat of this size Cant believe the little boat known as the Scamp hasn't taken a hold over here in the UK as yet Claimed to be the smallest little boat in the world under 12ft in length yet have the cockpit of a boat almost twice its size.Super easy to rig single handley Can be rowed ,motored or sailed Extremely stable and roomy And would appeal to so so many that don't have the money for a bigger boat or its upkeep or storage for that matter It's no wonder it's stolen the hearts of many elsewhere around the world Such a easy fun little practical boat I Think boat builders overhere are missing a trick Small, Roomy, Easy Practical multi purpose boat that anyone could have fun with and not need much space to store it and be able to tow it without the need of a Chelsea tractor

thanks

Well done.

sea sickness pill anybody ?

This was a big fail. Sad to say cause I was hoping it would succeed. Still don’t know what happened to it in the end after the test disaster. Hopefully it’s been sorted fingers crossed

good video

Im all in ! Anyone got one for sale in the next 3 months. About retirement age and read' to throw caution to the wind but not ever going to get a caravan. ?

Irresponsible and ridiculous, who is going to pay for your rescue should it be needed. don’t sail in storms and if your boat can’t outrun and out maneuver, a storm then don’t use it do it

It's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the boat in heavy weather. If you can do it in safety where people can see and know how you're doing. Far better than getting caught out. Keeping some friend in land on a VHF, maybe even letting the coastguard know what you're planning. It's reasonable if you expect to make a long passage in the future. A forty in the channel is different from the southern ocean of course, but it always helps to know how your boat handles in a blow. 40-50kph is sporty. It's best to be prepared for that , and worse.

Nice, I really like the cozy chocolate colors on the interior; lots of nice little details like the large cockpit with versatile table and bin locker including the cool paddle top cup holder

😮I got all new batteries since previous drained. I don't even heard the sound for the start. Everything works but no the starting. I am desperate for help and no one here does deasel.

Too bad it is a sail drive.

Just finishing my 2nd viewing of this video and I’ll probably watch it a few more times in the future. I don’t even have a sailboat, yet. Someday hopefully. Very well done and explained in a way my newbie brain could follow and understand. I especially liked how you took care of the crew by heaving-to for a break and building up the energy to finish off for the day. Just a little break like that could relieve stress levels that could have caused problems later on by continuing on with no break. Cudos. Keep up with the great videos. I’ve learned a lot from watching. Thanks!

Pretty typical day where I sail in San Francisco. We get 25 to 30 knots every day...30-35 knots on frisky days. When I was kid, we did this without a motor.

I have a nanny diesel kubota 29hp just had new starter motor and two new batteries fitted always serviced and the relay done and it won’t fire over please someone help not even the boat yard can diognose anything

So nice it's boring! 🤣🤣🤣

Insane price !! 😮😮 I'd buy a Hobie tiger or astus 20.5 and a flat with an actual bed and WC for the same money .

What kind of boat was the safety boat?

I'm getting anxious just watching this and it's not even dramatic. Thanks for the instruction.

No visit as announced. Why !

excellent video
