A DAY IN THE LIFE of an RYA day skipper student

[@ElectroRiderSN]

No sooner had I finished watching "Round the island race -The Movie" for the 2nd time, this time cast to a large screen tv for a fully immersive experience, up pops another interesting video from Nestor. By the way, those of you who are yet to watch "The Movie", you will not be disappointed, It's an excellent production by our host Nestor. Thanks for sharing this Nestor, clearly from dear old Weymouth, a place of so many happy memories for me as a young man. From Bob in land-locked Swindon.🤟

[@nestorandhisboat]

Ha thanks Bob! Really glad you enjoyed it. Weymouth is a nice place

That one was unexpected but a welcomed surprise ! It looks like a lot of things to learn, but it will serve you well. Thank you for sharing Nestor and fair winds

[@nestorandhisboat]

Thanks Tristan!

[@trevis007]

Great vid Nestor and nice to see you posting again 😊

[@theart8039]

Congrats; I haven't done that yet but I know people who have and its a lot to take in

[@nestorandhisboat]

Thanks! Yeh it seems to be the standard course which most people do

[@jamesvanian5524]

A most interesting and informative video. It ia all important stuff that you need to become a Captain and sail safely.. Nice to see the R.N.L.I. boat. I support them on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing Nestor. James.

[@nestorandhisboat]

Thanks James!

Such a cool video. Love the channel!

[@andrewlowrey8754]

Great video Nestor! I'm doing my PER (Patrón de Embarcaciones de Recreo) at the moment, which is the Spanish equivalent of day sailor, so your vid reminded me of the sessions I've been doing. Loved it! And I love the fact that you've got a Sadler 26, which is a boat I really want tot sail. All the best and keep them coming.

[@nestorandhisboat]

Thanks! Nice one, and you should definitely get on a Sadler their great fun

[@BumblingSailor]

Nice one Nestor!

[@nestorandhisboat]

Thanks Terry!

[@steveerchien9605]

Thats amazing. Good luck with the course

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you

[@tombrooks5933]

i learned to sail on a local river in Toledo (ohio) that went out to Lake Erie in a 15' Rhodes Bantam. It had a genny, mainsail, and spinnaker. I was 16. It came in handy sailing with my dad on his 40' sailboat in Lake Michigan. I took a Coast Guard course that taught me a lot about navigation, charts, buoys, etc. It is a good foundation of knowledge that will stay with you all your life. Cheers!

[@nestorandhisboat]

That’s a cool story! Thanks Tom

[@keith800]

Yes is most interesting and nice to see you on the water and enjoying yourself 👍 .

[@nestorandhisboat]

Thanks 👍

[@LarsBrüning-v7v]

Well done Nestor!

[@RyanB-t5s]

It was great to meet you on the waiting pontoon in Weymouth, keep up the good work and hopefully I'll see you out and about in the bay!

[@nestorandhisboat]

Thanks Ryan, really nice to meet you too. Definitely will see you about, when I walk past your boat on the pontoon I look at it rather jealously! She looks fast!

[@RyanB-t5s]

@@nestorandhisboat Thank you very much, she is a hunter duette and for her size quite a fast boat with great stability! I believe the hunter sonata which is essentially the fin keeled version of my boat is very popular for racing and even has a class. Always welcome to come for a spin!

[@davidbjoerkqvist]

HAH what are odds of me clicking in to this random channel and seeing my Day Skipper instructor Angus. 🙏🏼 Nestor you are/were in good hands. Was this course with BOSS in Hamble? Good luck with your sailing, cool channel!

[@nestorandhisboat]

Ha! Angus was great. This was with BH marine in Weymouth. Thanks David!

[@johnpaulparadise4995]

Which training school did you use? I would like to do Competent Crew and spend quite a bit of time in Weymouth so would be interested to know who you did your training with.

[@nestorandhisboat]

We used Ben Harries marine, and we were very happy with everything. Hope that helps and good luck

[@stephenauty2402]

Looks just like my Sadler 26

Bonjour Nestor ! Sais-tu que ton nom de famille "M..." est originaire du sud-ouest de la France ? Sans doute du Béarn dans les Pyrénées. Pourquoi y en a-t-il (are there some of them) en Angleterre ? Peut-être un de tes ancêtres s'est-il engagé dans les armées du Prince Noir (Woodstock) quand l'Aquitaine était anglaise ? Es-tu le descendant de M... - Sandwich, premier Lord de l'Amirauté et... inventeur du sandwich ? Dans ce cas tu as de qui tenir (take after) quant à (as for) ta passion pour la mer. Amitiés. Nicolas. P.S. I expect you will be the first British to win the "Vendée Globe".

[@nestorandhisboat]

Oui! Donc mes ancestors étaient avec William en 1066. Oui, c’est vrai- absolument! Maybe some day! Hope my French was ok lol. Thanks for the translations

[@nicolasslove4046]

​​@@nestorandhisboat Your French is perfect, except "ancestors" -> "ancêtres" .
