I am 73 years old and bought my first Laser in 1973, the year I graduated from our US Merchant Marine Academy. This is the most exciting sailing I've done for a long time and certainly appreciate your excitement, "She's a Flier"! Congratulation's.

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

thank you

[@brucekratky7993]

I am 68 years of age. I own a BMW K1300GT motorcycle. It is very fast capable of 150 mph. I have had it up to 130 mph and for this old man those speeds are pretty exciting. However, I’d say that your small sailboat more than matches the BMW for pure excitement and thrill. The smiles on your faces, the flat wake peeling off aft, the extreme tension and forces on the sails and rigging, all make for what must be a true, true joy ride. Keep pressing. Keep smiling. As I am pretty much locked in my home right now, except for my little rides in the countryside, your videos bring me some good old fashioned vicarious joy. Thank you.

[@ajmiedalton123]

The best episode of full-on high performance sailing based fun I've seen on KZbin in a long while. Merci !!

[@goodq]

Always a great day when sailing Frenchman posts a video

[@emitremi879]

13:34 that smile ... yea everyone who has experienced a good day with sailing knows exactly what it is all about ;)

A boat humming is the happiest sound in the world

[@owenpotter2459]

Wow. That little boat FLIES! You'll be having lots of fun on that.

[@tomwaite4594]

Hugo the REAL BOSS!

[@gjunior2471]

My favorite video of yours so far.Seen them all.Definitely lots of emotions. 15:48 your face priceless.You looked really happy.

[@thosoz3431]

My pal and I have great fun pushing the limits of his Top Hat 25 in Westernport, Australia. In 25 knots we do 6. We think we're going fast : ) What I wouldn't give to be 50 years younger.... Do what this guy is doing. Find a way to live your dream.

[@jesse.taylor]

Reminds me of the Ann Ale days to see you on a small boat again! Love to see it.

[@TheRattyBiker]

A crazy little boat for a crazy Frenchman! Looks like half a tonne of fun Hugo, congratulations.

[@cactusjack1943]

I have a scow design Barnett Butterfly dinghy. The splashing of your boat really looks like mine as I go through waves. The Butterfly design as I understand it is based on large racing scows used in some of the larger lakes in Wisconsin. Those boats have angled daggerboards on port and starboard and the object is to run the boat close to beam which increases wet length and allows the scow to more easily cut through waves instead of banging into them. Love your boat and your sailing!

[@timgelder4263]

The bed is a "bit hard" thud thud lol! That little thing flies!

[@jergut007]

Oh the crocs of an almighty sailor 😙👌

[@mattphillips9107]

You could've let that last section run on forever. WICKED FUN 😀

[@tomharrell1954]

Thank you for going to the trouble to speak English! You do so, well! Your sailboat is very fast. It flies on the water. CONGRATULATIONS! I hope you do well in your race!

[@acmmaq]

Congratulations from a young/old 60´s brazilian sailman!

[@greg1474]

My wife and I both laughed when you slept on the hard fiberglass and you said you need to get a proper mattress. Love your videos and your channel Hugo! You are proving that you don’t need a lot of money or possessions to be successful or happy. You were a great first mate on the clipper race, and you are a first rate person.

[@Cyrusmagi]

Well these mine transat with rounded bows made of carbon fibre more likely than glassware plus the fancy sails don't come cheap. Cheap is sailing a small yacht for less the €2000

[@MikeFloutier]

Looks sensational Hugo, thanks so much for sharing it with us!

[@SailingLaLuna]

Man you're flying with the spinnaker up, awesome! Really enjoyed the timelapse videos from the stern. Cheers from Australia! 😊⛵

[@Sharpiesailor31]

Your smile says volumes. Looks like quite the ride!

[@davidrcarey]

That looks like mad fun -- thank you for sharing it!

[@gillesdufaux5519]

Very nice boat and skipper. Nice video.

[@adam8642]

Great video. Very informative. Well done on the first race also. Top 20 on a new boat is awesome.

[@dragonfly8080808]

Great episode that boat ROCKS. Good luck

[@raymiller315]

Love the step by step explanations of what you're doing onboard - thanks for another great video!

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Glad you enjoyed it! More to come

[@martineyer5336]

Wow this little yacht goes very nicely. Very impressive. 👍

[@benoitmatton8617]

Amazing ! I don't know how such a small boat can goes so fast 👍👍👍

[@mhensen1]

Benoit Matton think wind surfers, they go pretty quick, it’s the planing vs displacement, reminds me of flying in a Hobie Cat

[@benoitmatton8617]

@@mhensen1 yes exactly !... and you are in the middle of Atlantic try to have a nap ...😟😕

[@mhensen1]

Benoit Matton I’m guessing if you’re tired enough you can sleep anywhere, lol

[@BillChild2njoy]

You were flying !!

[@GregHartSk8er]

You must be very happy with the new boat! She flies!!!

[@redcanoe2637]

Looks like a great boat, congratulations .

[@MrMichaelcurran]

I used to have an Audi 5000 I thought it flew. Truly, I was wrong. Your new boat could make the passage from Port Angeles, WA to Hilo, Hawaii in 10 days as the rest of us take 19 days for the same run. Wow!

[@californiakayaker]

Wow, efficient boat with 18 knots of wind and 12.7 knots of boat speed, Zowweeee... !And, saw even faster speeds...

[@jadranhodak2744]

Great video Hugo,keep going.

[@Dim78888]

Good race, for the first start in mini! I saw you progress in les sables's tracker.

[@iwilltubeyouall]

Enjoy your boat! :)

[@sailingmarie7097]

Could you show us a bit more about that new genoa 3D trimming system the boat has? You see it more and more these day. How does it work. Pros and cons? Is it better then the old genoacars/rails. Nice boat. Very nice sailing!!!

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Will do! Working on a Q&A episode, will add this into it

[@JeanLouisTeisseire]

Hugo , toujours au top ! J ´ aimerais bien essayer une de ces luges un jour , ça doit être fun !

[@redsnappersadler34]

Really enjoying your videos-but especially these😁

[@curtisprincemusic]

Love the vids as always Hugo! Surprised to see adds. Boat looks like a ton of fun!!! Peace

[@allanknudsen2616]

You definitely earned me as a subscriber with this video🤙. Would love to see when you jibe the gennaker👍

[@grahamsmith4988]

love to see your mate with two hands on the tiller! Think you were about on the limit with that sail plan.

[@colinboniface194]

Magnificent sail...

[@kgilliagorilla2761]

You finally have an engine! I miss your old tiller handle however. That boat really flys! Fair winds.

[@gavinlee2742]

Wow the boat was really flying at the end.

[@petten20233]

Getting ready for the next mini transat..hooo oui . 10 a 12 jour cest a suivre . 🤗

So good! the MINI's look so fun to sail!

The scow bow saved you from pitch polling..😂

[@psystealth]

Great stuff Hugo.

[@psystealth]

Hope you can make a Vendee Globe boat one day soon !!

[@CrackosFr]

Hope I’ll enjoy seeing u race someday !!

[@FishFreddie]

Supernice! Dont eat to much Quine Amands, you are in a very nice area, nearby Douarnenez. I have been on holiday in that area for about 10 years. But sailing not further than Calais. Enjoy! If I come back next year I d love to sail a day with you on youre new boat!. I love the design!.

[@twister2869]

19th first time out !!! well done Hugo.

[@brianboys9015]

So good

[@quentinwoods8811]

Awesome footage and sailing thanks Hugo ! Great new adventure and partnership sailing a skipping and singing flying fish ! Mesmerising sound ! Hope your friend made the difference in ballast to stop the near pitch pole. Spoon bow to the rescue?? Go well. Stay safe. Q in Sydney Aus’

[@MirekDulko]

Awesome!!! Surf 15.84 kt by 22.4 knots true wind on 6.5m length boat...

[@darrinpearce9780]

Hey mate, thanks for the video, looked like super fun. What a great boat. Can't wait for more adventures. The french way of sailing is always balls to the wall, I think we're a little too conservative here down under !!!

[@grahamm2015]

Mmm sailing on apparent wind always good, missing being able to race the land yacht in these difficult times

[@yannmonnier4291]

Wow nice surfs. You should do a video about what the Minitransat is about for your viewers (what you are training for, I guess) . Keep up.

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Noted!

[@fc15min]

Good job mate! Happy for ya ;) If you will ask me, i don't sail now, I try to make 100% pure carbon stair steps for our team boat ;) hope will make it until end of summer :D

[@PaulusPHM]

check the matrices called 'purple. Great light and keeps dry too

[@nilfisktun]

Wow that thing is faaast :D Have someone try to ski behind it!

[@realhusky]

I am sad I can give only one thumb up. Nice tack my man! 3:00 Keep growing your hair and donate to be badass for kids that need it!

[@biggest163]

The tell-tails say she has more to give :D

[@videojones59]

Very exciting! I am sure that a broach will occur at some point. I hope you will include it in the video when it does.

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

That's the plan! But the scow makes it really really stable

[@yakekaj]

Looks much more fun downwind!! You can feel the Buzz you were having through the camera!!

Ahoy Hugo👏👍⚓️

Man that boat came to a dead stop.

ohooooohoo im soo hapy 4 u have nice life :) :)

[@michaelbrownlee9497]

Really impressive boat and sail inventory. Would like to see a womans touch in the cabin too make things a bit more cozy and comfortable for you. So after 2 days out sailing this way we gonna sail that way....lol.

[@rj333333]

so jealous Hugo ,still can't get to go sailing in Melbourne yet

[@steveeb9567]

Every once in a while you could hear the hull slam down on the upwind and the camera would shake. And that was in flat conditions ! I predict that hull shape will be a disaster upwind in heavy weather. I could even see the hull breaking from the slamming.

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

The hull slams and sounds loud because it's a race boat so no insulation...etc but the build is strong no worries, these boats cross the atlantic ;) >> kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5PZaIGZh82MbMk

[@igorfrancetic3]

New boat stuff is super fun Hugo! And usual great filming and editing. Any news from the Clipper race, btw?

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Thanks. CLipper resumes un february 2021

[@richardofoz2167]

I'm new to your channel. Have you already told us about your boat? What design is it? How is it equipped? What sail inventory?

[@voilemontagne]

Rolalaa ces surf à 16 noeuds sur un 6.50 on a l'impression que tu tape du 25. Ça doit être dingue le fait d'être à16 noeuds sur un 6.50

[@mhensen1]

Great fun by the looks of it Hugo, thanks for sharing, two questions, one, after tacking you said get back on the tiller, how often will you be actually hand steering? And two, does your autopilot take wind angle into account (like a windvane might)?

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Really depends on the point of sail and performance you are looking for, will do a Q&A session soon so I'll add these to it to answer in more detail.

[@onandoffthewater2372]

Are there any plans for a foiling version? P.s I love it when she sings🤪

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

It already exists, I;ll try to get a ride on that boat and send you some footage

[@ashikagaProdDesign]

About your bed, would a hammock (hamac) not be a better solution? Saves a lot of weight and space. :)

[@NZL50505]

Great authentic sailing. But after all this time can’t you use a wind protector on the mic?

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Haha, It's not that easy to fit on an action cam

Hey Hugo!, great video, lots of fun. Question: at 10:29 you are trimming, and I see some thin white lines, mostly with a little ball attached. I've seen the same on Imocas. What are they for? Cheers mate!!!

Great video! Do you have any regrets about buying a racing sailboat in terms of not having the creature comforts a cruising yatch offers?

Not at all, when you fly at 15+kts make you forget everything else :)

Après ça, difficile de repasser sur Ann Alé ;) :)) !

Tant pis! You're hauling, my friend. But what is this? Are you like a test pilot for new naval designs? Is this your own personal boat before personalization? I do not understand. Thanks!

Which way do you stack if going fast on a beam reach- windward or aft?

Is that a planing hull? Could it right itself after a knockdown?

PLanning hull doesn't mean it isn't self righting. This boat is built for offshore racing, so it will come bac up even if inverted

[@markthomasson5077]

Looking at your track, it appears that you don’t tack that close to the wind.
