Do you know what's inside your liferaft? - Ep135 - The Sailing Frenchman

All of us carry one onboard, but really few know actually what's inside a liferaft, what's does it carry...etc.
Thanks a lot to Plastimo for inviting me to follow the packing of my new liferaft for the Mini Transat.

[@yakekaj]

That was super cool... really intetesting to see a process that you wouldn't normally get to see, thanks man🤘

[@thomasbonde2118]

Great info Hugo - We all just tend to go out on the water and never expect to use the safety equipment until that day it might be dire straits

[@alexanderjenkins4117]

Choses essentielles à savoir. Merci à toi d'avoir partagé. Merci à Plastimo de construire ces radeaux qui sauvent des vies.

[@RakamXela]

Great video, it is great to see quality products being manufactured domestically, obviously a business proud of their product!

[@lutzkohne8640]

Thanks for making my day - especially finger counting for tip #3 (more importantly, as a fellow landlocked sailor who can't go back to his floating home and who's stuck in Berlin's manifold shades of winter grey: thank you for the smiles, insights and your 'just sailing' episodes that turn my bathtub into an offshore voyage under sails every once in a while

[@stevec7876]

Very interesting video, thanks. The boys and girls in the factory do an amazing job.

[@christiansimard5137]

Wow, superbe vidéo intéressante. Ce sont des choses (la visite de manufacture de ce genre de produits) que nous ne voyons jamais! Merci d’avoir partagé avec nous.

[@reloadncharge9907]

Good episode, creative, great topic! Guess I better get my raft in for its three year check! Thanks, Andrew

[@goodq]

Never realised how much detail are in those rafts. Wonderful. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽

[@joeltatham5673]

Thanks very much! That was very informative. I thought I knew about life rafts, but this is the first time I’ve seen on assembled. Cheers

[@snabelone]

LIke you said... not much sailing... but important. Thanks for sharing!

[@alfredondatra]

Loved the little clips from your parents garage!

[@cokeforever]

Great video and great editing! Very informative raft assembly part and very funny cut-scenes!!

[@danknox9986]

Sponsors are good! Liked the joke book!

[@esvarwyn]

Really valuable film thanks! I hadn't considered what was going on with liferafts...

[@jedhewson8660]

That was really interesting. I didn’t realise all that stuff is in the raft. I didn’t even know about the 8 m pink line. I’m going to ask if I can see the raft and accessories when I get my next service. Excellent vid Hugo.

[@FreddyDali]

Hello Hugo, merci pour cette vidéo, elle est top! Super intéressante. Les gens de Plastimo ont l'air très sympas en plus! Et Bonne Année !

[@marinoldus]

Thank you Hugo.

[@goldskatefinger]

Salut !! Bravo pour cette vidéo géniale qui représente vraiment bien notre travail et le cœur ainsi que la rigueur qu'on y met chaque jour pour vous tous les baroudeurs des océans !! Je suis Matthieu, le gars qui a préparé ton radeau quand tu es venu dans notre atelier. C'était vraiment sympa de te rencontrer !! Merci beaucoup pour ta vidéo qui change un peu par rapport à ce qu'on a pu faire, c'est ludique, complet et super fun, j'adore!! 😁👌. A bientôt peut-être !! Matth et la team plastimo 😉👍

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Salut Matt, merci beaucoup pour ton retour, si ça te plaît à toi alors c'est gagné :). A un de ces jours

[@dsshanley]

Just finished Adrift by Steven Callahan where he spent 76 days surviving in a raft across the Atlantic in the trades, so this is pretty timely. Interesting to consider changes from the past vs current life rafts and how they decide what equipment is in and what's out. Also interesting to consider that these aren't really set up to successfully survive in for any duration like that. Thanks for the factory tour!!

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Exactly, because emergency beacons like EPIRB are getting better, liferaft is considered as a transition more than anything else

[@inixio11]

Really enjoyed the episode. Important idea. Thanks

[@cawfeedawg]

Very informative. Thank you!

[@trolol7307]

Ha ben bravo le bob cochounou ! On se demande où il est maintenant, il va être content Lolo !

[@keithcharlesworth9046]

Thanks, must get mine serviced . I am at capdagde at the moment.

[@gepgeps]

Very interesting video Hugo. Loved it!

[@oliviermotte3372]

Merci pour cette vidéo très intéressante et instructive !! Je te souhaite plein de belles courses avec de bons résultats !!

[@chassironpegase7200]

Hyper intéressant, merci beaucoup

[@etiennethibault9247]

J’adore vos vidéos... merci pour m’avoir donné quelques choses à regardé pendant le confinement 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MrRugbylane]

Excellent. Learned a lot.

[@darrinpearce9780]

Great video every yachtman should watch. Fellow subs, dont forget to do you safety and survival at sea courses!!

[@brucebrown9604]

Fantastic! Now we know what we have in the box, since it’s the same model as yours!!! By the way, 20 years life-expectancy, but with 500 Euros servicing costs every 3 years... ouch! 🥵

[@dioune06]

Merci Hugo pour ce partage! Très instructif.

[@charlesRLmartin]

Brilliant video most useful thanks

[@anibaldeiturbide7805]

Super important, thank you for this video and valuable information!!

[@haighaj]

Great video, super cool to see how they put them together!

[@sigga3876]

Very interesting video, Merci!

[@dominiqueduveau5540]

Super interessant, j'ai découvert qlqs chose.

[@joeramstrom]

looking forward to your transat !!

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Me too :)

[@svchineeljunk-riggedschoon4038]

In mine is probably just plastic mush at this point. It's in an old suitcase on the deck. Was no way I had time or money to service it before setting off across the Atlantic. But I felt ok doing so as a Junk Rig has many options for redundancy and I kept my inflatable kayak ready for a dire emergency.

[@perryalan4250]

20 years life span, quite a while! how much would this setup cost a normal person?

[@maenuuu]

arround 1.800,00€

[@perryalan4250]

and then in 3 years for the revision?

[@DrAlcopops]

Needs a blow up doll or sheep (depending on which floats your boat), to pass the hours whilst floating along at sea for weeks 😜💕

[@alanberickson]

Or both. A ménage à trois as they say in France. ;)

[@sadretroy2352]

Cool mate cheers👏👍⚓️

[@christian_beier]

Uh oh, is that the tiller of Ann Alé on the wall at your parent's place?

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Hehe, good eye, it is indeed :)

[@jimbean2274]

9:30 #Drugs :D . Made my day. Another cool Movie, thank you :) .

[@LolaLuciaPerdonRadical]

Passionnant!

[@pvince71]

Great film thankyou, merci

[@elimartin3086]

the French make the best handbags.

[@Gustaverbk]

Ça m’a tue de rire t’es tip 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jeanfrancoisjulien8890]

Très instructif et tjrs meilleur en français lol

[@rblanc7708]

Sympa le petit Bikini Machine pour commencer cet épisode ultra important. En espérant qu'il ne me serve jamais cependant

[@lejardindekasper]

Salut Hugo, vraiment très intéressante cette vidéo. On peut pas mettre cette vidéo avec dans le radeau, histoire de tout bien vérifier? A bientôt et bonne navigation. Marc

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Haha, je vais leur proposer :)

[@kahfr25]

Super intéressantes ces infos du fabriquant! Comme tu le fais remarquer l'éclairage est important mais là on nous parle d'ampoules et de piles... quand on sait qu'il existe des lampes leds qui se rechargent avec une petit dynamo ( genre DECATHLON) ça serait bien dans leur radeau!

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

je note et ferais passer si j'en ai l'occasion :)

[@billykirk9969]

Very interesting

[@patrickfouriaud3475]

Bonjour Super ce reportage. J'ai eu l'occasion de faire un exercice d'évacuation d'un voilier avec mise en place d'un radeau et séjour de 3 heures dans le radeau. On a vraiment pas envie de vivre ce type d'expérience en vrais. Bonne chance pour r votre recherche de sponsors

[@johnmartin3486]

Such a nice bloke don’t cha think

[@bobopopo67]

Merci, très instructif ! C'ets la barre de Ann Ale en arrière plan ?

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Hehe, bien vu, c'est ca :)

[@andreaspoppe]

Thanks for this really informative video. But I will pray for you to never need to use your life raft!

[@tuiscott3719]

Have you registered for the Minis yet Hugo ?

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Yep, registered to the Mini Transat since last month, now to find enough funds to get to the race :)

[@voiliersagittaire]

Super intéressant !!! Par contre, autant je comprend le prix d'achat, autant j'ai du mal avec la révision. Juste pour changer une loupiote, une pile, qq pilules, et 3 sacs de bouffe déshydratée, ça fait cherot...

[@dw4956]

The expensive ones for over 72hrs come with an inflatable girlfriend and after 20 years she'll still look the same too!

[@jmredlight02]

Ce bonnet cochonou 😍😍😍

[@vulturemunchies4692]

👌🏽

[@2DCardBored]

Did you get a bottle stuffed in there?

[@sailingorzu]

Great video, useful and informative. I enjoy your channel because it brings a French perspective of sailing in English, which is pretty rare. I try to do the same but at a really tiny level ! Haha!!! Keep going on and have a look at my channel if you’re curious 🙂, Salut 🤜

[@AndreUchoaUSA]

Interesting subject, but the language barrier played against! It would have been nice to have subtitles....

[@saintcay]

Mercy Hugo

[@martiguesmarc819]

why there is no survival blanket???

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

There are TPS, there are pretty much the same material, except that instead of being a blanket, it's a suit, much more cosy ;)

[@JohnJohn-cu7nk]

👈👍👉👋👋👋

[@mobilixone1575]

Thanks, really enjoyed this one as well! But wouldn‘t you rather stay on your Mini (unsinkable) than venturing out on that liferaft, seriously! The Mini isn‘ t such a lightweight build as Kevins PRB.

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

You are right, best thing is to stay on the Mini, but lieraft can also be used for transfer, to a cargo ship or to be picked up by an choper for example

[@nachowind1683]

ep.77 next ep.135?

[@cjprimata]

Or I need to learn French but would be niche with legends in English or may be in Spanish op Portuguese too!
