Gabriele it has been an amazing series, I have learnt a lot over the years watching you as you have worked away. I still go back to some of your older videos while I am working on my own boat and the couple of times I have asked you a question you’ve always gotten straight back to me. I just want to say how much I appreciate all the work you put into the series and your kindness in sharing your knowledge! It’s great to know your still going to be around and I can’t wait to see the maintenance videos you mentioned.

[@sea4see]

Thx Paul!! Appreciate your kind words! Drop a message if you need a help!

[@w1cdo]

Please continue to keep us posted on your activities. I enjoy your happy face.

Bravo, this is not 'the end', but the beginning. . .

[@sea4see]

Thx Rich for sure!!!

[@normanboyes4983]

Gabriel, you must be very pleased to have completed your 4 year project, in which you have done absolutely high quality work, and now have the time to enjoy your considerable investment of time and labour to actually get out and enjoy the sailing. So you are happy and pleased, but ‘we’ are not so happy that the videos have ended. But thank you for taking all the time and trouble to film and edit the many videos so that you could take us along with you. (Not sure if you look at SailLife but Mads has ‘finished his somewhat extensive refit’ and is actually sailing too). Fair winds and hopefully cheaper mooring fees.⛵️😀👍

[@sea4see]

Thx Norman yes long time and finally finish! I sail any weekend and enjoy a lot! Yes I know Mads has leave Denmark and already finish his project I leave a message but as usually he didn't reply or say thank.. that's life

[@belledetector]

Hey Gabriele, congratulations on finishing the refit of your beautiful boat. Nice to see her in the water finally. Thanks for sharing the journey from start to finish, including the fails, the successes and your continuing persistence towards perfection. It was very educational, and an inspiration to watch. In the future the series will add as inspiration to many a HR owner. Bon Voyage!

[@sea4see]

Thx mate appreciate your kind word!!!

[@dhamma58]

A pleasure indeed to see the "finished" version of this long saga....the quotes are for the sure thing that there is always something to be fixed or improved! From my perspective, the reason I watch a channel is not only to learn, but is mostly about the person at the other end of the camera and their story. So this end of story does cause me real regret...any posts will be eagerly awaited, so thanks for the voyage so far!

[@sea4see]

Yes mate for sure more episode In maintenance will be shot!! Thx for follow me and thank for your precious advise

[@stinkintoad]

As I've said before, this is one of the the nicest looking 34 foot sailboats I've ever seen. Both in design , and all the hard detailed work you've put into her! I'm tentatively planning a Croatian charter next year and you're giving me the motivation.

[@sea4see]

thx Michael!!!

[@nicksullivan480]

We came with you happily on your journey and we loved every minute. We understand if you may now wish to sail in private. But dont think it would be boring for us. I think i can speak for all of us when we say seeing the boat in action is the summation - vindication - of all your hard work. And a joy to see. Grazie mille per lavventura!

[@sea4see]

Thx Nick!!! Let my figure out what I can film in the next episode! Thx🙏🏻

[@music-man]

Hey mate. I have been watching you from the start of your videos. First off i have to say i am very proud of what you have done and your passion for your yacht its a amazing quality that speaks tons about who you are as a person. I am looking at buying a Hallberg Rassy as i am a huge fan and have looked at every yacht builder and keep coming back to them. So i will end and raise my glass to you and your lady and say all the best and safe sailing. Cheers from the Brit in southern California.

Great great great Gabriele! Great to sea her sailing at last. Many thanks for sharing all stages of your refitting her so well. Great to see the two of you enjoying her now. And please share your new insights on the small things you’d like to change over time. You only discover them with time on the water. Best regards from Holland!

Gabriele - very well done! It was really great to watch you at work - thank you very much. I wish you with your yacht always a hand's breadth of water under the keel. I'm missing something now - but that's life and maybe we'll meet sometime ... Werner from southern Germany - I have the same boat as you .... by the way: I would be very interested in a room tour. And of course I would be very interested in your experience with all the equipment. Maybe you have time? I am very confident that I am not alone!
