Handover of my new boat - Ep118 - The Sailing Frenchman

[@fergusferguson8536]

Love it Hugo. Massive respect to you. So many channels are all about "Patreon". Really appreciate our values. The 6.5 looks incredible with the Spinny up.

[@turbo-ck7vi]

The drone footage really adds some more quality to your videos 🙏

[@jadams3427]

Super video. Thanks !

[@randomtraveler3363]

Watching the boat sail, in the drone footage, was like watching a stone skip across the water with a sail attached. The scow design seem very efficient for getting to speed quickly while staying dryer.

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Yeh, the boat starts planning around 9kts and really really dry, it's a must for long passages offshore

[@stevelawrie9115]

Ah Hugo, such a comfy boat, so luxurious :)

[@bluejeans725]

Good to see Vincent and what a Beautiful fast pace montage at the end, can see the acceleration out of the marina, Hugo The Boss now you are captain again.

[@davidwallen3557]

Loved it Hugo. A real sailing channel. Bonne chance.

[@jorgeconcheyro]

Hey Hugo, thanks for the English subs!. The boat looks amazing mate !!! Thanks for sharing and good luck!!!

[@yakekaj]

Nice video man, looks like you are getting to grips with your new craft!!

[@alanrushbrook6080]

Really enjoying sharing your adventure. Great footage.

[@stephrz9593]

La Mini 6.50 excellent !! T’assure Hugo !

[@catalinadude6218]

Nice drone work. I've flown my Mavic Mini twice while sailing and it isn't easy. That bigger looks nice so you can grab the handle. The Mini is hard to get.

[@elitedavidhorne8494]

That's a fast and pretty boat!

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

Nice video! Mini Transat 6.50 are awesome boats

[@MrMichaelcurran]

Speed is certainly addictive. And yet to become the sailor you aspire to speed, coordination, and adrenaline all makes for an exciting ride.

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Some more speed in the new vlog >> kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6GuaKxnhJp9mJI

[@bitesize7817]

Great video and interview (he seemed a cool guy with a good outlook - maybe sailing does that to you!)

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Hope so! ;)

[@R.E.HILL_]

Oh what comfort, a typical live-aboard boat... 😉

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Right?!

[@cyrillebertin8392]

Ils ont l'air tellement fun ces petits 6.50 . Bon courage pour ton entrainement et bonne chance pour la course !!! (Merci pour les vidéos)

[@milkoberben2963]

Why I love sailing: plenty of variables are you allowed to do weather routing whilst you are going in the race? Off you will do routing before you leave. You could see that the southerly route was favourite and the 19 days were people choosing the north.

[@celineetchristophechareton3717]

Merci pour ce partage, bon entraînement

[@Ocean64]

keep up the good work buddy , stay safe 💖

[@MrA1582000]

Certainly not ugly under sail.

[@randocool]

Il est petit, mais il avance... 👍 3:23 magnifique

[@atelierferreira]

Perfect !

[@jeanyvessire6983]

Hugo, bon vent pour ce départ du chenal Vendée Globe. Que de chemin parcouru. 👌👍

[@clayfarnet970]

Great video, thanks! 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️

[@sadretroy2352]

Thank you mate, boat looks solid, safe and speedy, try to gain some weight, you will need it on the run.👏👍⚓️

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Yep, weight and balasting is key

[@clidiere]

J'ai passé une après-midi à Lorient à voir tous ces Mini aller et venir. Trop jaloux !! Ça semblait si facile de prendre son Mini, et après un petit push de zodiac, sortie sous génois seul en quelques minutes...

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Oui ils sont tres légers donc il leur en faut peu pour avancer

[@Seb.Marquet]

Bravo Hugo tres belle Video

[@Seb.Marquet]

Regarde la vidéo en 2019 j’ai donc navigué moi même de Baltimore a San Francisco Je t’avais contacte pour le bouger

[@mosca3289]

Cool, mate.

[@sadrimathari5162]

What a nice and fast little boat. Can we buy same type and where ? Or find the blueprints and eventually build it. Bon vent ! ;)

[@MickLay]

Good video- thanks! Where can we get more info on the boat make/type/spec etc? Thank you.

[@joeblow1942]

Are the big fat bows being used on big boats yet?

[@zerofox7347]

There actually quite a lot bigger than they look when all at the dock, there's lots of space on deck for the size of boat isn't there?

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Yeah, cockpit is pretty comfy, 3m wide helps :)

[@wildandbarefoot]

I love this boat. I know it's a 6.50 but what is this design with the bluff bows? What's it called. ??? It reminds me of a formula windsurfer....lots of fun....

[@fc15min]

Good job man! Looks a bit slow upwind, but rocket speed in down wind situation :D

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Not that slow upwind (for that size boat), have a look at my new vlog > kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6GuaKxnhJp9mJI

[@fc15min]

The Sailing Frenchman watched it just it was uploaded. Impressive numbers, just not very comfy going upwind...

[@jergut007]

Génial!!!

[@Rrza]

Awesome 👍

[@philgray1023]

The upholstery looks a bit tired. Otherwise looks as comfortable as a SUP with an umbrella.

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Haha, exactly

[@nicolasminguez3281]

Super vidéo super projet merci Ca doit changer de l'écume de mer ? 👍👍🙋⛵

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

C'est sur, c'est un autre genre de nav :)

[@GregChen]

[@kellystevenson4612]

So badass

[@sailing_helouise]

Rad!

[@MrArray1967]

I noticed the hull is translucent. Is it a sandwich 🥪 construction?

[@voilemontagne]

Quelle chance de pouvoir participer à la mini transat

[@Sciolist]

I'm interested in knowing how backstay works with such a large (almost) square sail

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Will do a Q&A soon, adding you question to the list :)

[@keithc5729]

Boats with large square main sails have 2 backstays, one on each side. They are called running backstays. You have to switch them each tack or jibe.

[@MrArray1967]

Careful or we haaaave lift off 😁

[@Iclo420]

Chouette vidéo. Les 100.000 abonnés ne sont plus loin.

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Yes, faut partager un max :)

[@steveburton5825]

You never have to wear a harness on that boat... you are sure to tangle up in the lines and be able to drag yourself back on board that way.

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Haha, fingers crossed

[@pitbed]

So handy boat, how fast does it run, with 3 sails?

[@freebrain5559]

12-17 knots. (!!!)

[@MrArray1967]

First of all I'm a genuine land crab 🦀! But isn't it a good idea to clean up the spaghetti 🍝 on the deck?

[@martineyer5336]

Wow that looks very uncomfortable. Where is the dodger, nice heads, and gully?.. 😄 I thought the clippers were uncomfortable, , but this has gone extra step back...👍

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Haha, confor... what? Clipper 70's will feel luxurious after this :)

[@martineyer5336]

The Sailing Frenchman you are sucker for punishment, I have sailed the clipper when it was here in Fremantle thinking I’ll do one leg with you, but OMG that is an horrible old yacht 😂 and now this... well at least you don’t have to share a bunk and it is nice and new👍 I look forward to your extra adventures..

[@inixio11]

Hugo, Sabes que " El Chato" no me gustaba mucho al principio pero ahora le estoy cogiendo cariño. Te deseo lo mejor. Suerte.

[@brianaustin1328]

Would it be possible to further reduce drag by raising the windward rudder while under sail?

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

No, but will do a Q&A episode soon, iI'll add your question to answer it more in detail

[@gur123noor]

Second! Where’s all your stuff? Aren’t you at sea for weeks or months at a time?

[@mona_0908]

The winning boat in 2019 took 13 days but the transatlantic part of the race (Canary Islands to Martinique) can also be up to 25/30 days

[@robertsmme]

Can we support you in this effort?

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Absolutely, try to share those videos as much as you can, and if you want, add you email here so I can add you to my newsletter > forms.gle/qHyeEyEWceyTVPzp8

[@gymwestwood7588]

mmmmm drone sots

[@Airriel333]

She's beautiful

[@barnabephilipon9585]

tu utilises quoi comme auto-pilote?

[@stephentuttle4275]

Fucking lines everywhere!

[@esvarwyn]

Paint her as a sneaker and get sponsored by Le Coq

[@alexmorgan3435]

Looks like a fast boat. I know you are a busy man, but is there any chance you could translate your interview with Vincent into English? I understood some of it but you guys were speaking very fast and my French is a bit rusty. Will you be fitting out the cabin? Good luck.

[@emilybh6255]

Just click on the "CC" button in the lower right corner of the video for English subtitles.

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Yep, what Emily said, click on CC button, all episodes have english and french subtitles

[@andersdahl9430]

Hugo, are you planing to have some products? So we can support you in that way.

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

It's on the way, You'll be the first to know Fair winds

[@Smallssk76]

What happened to the old boat

[@cokeforever]

he sold it before going to Clipper races

[@khetzal]

Si tu prévois de proposer des stages formations (payants bien sûr) sur un w.e. en mini, si j'arrive à me libérer je pourrais être preneur par contre.

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

C'est pas prévu pour l'instant car assez compliqué niveau légal/assurance etc... mais j'y réfléchis

[@khetzal]

@@TheSailingFrenchman Vu que tu as le Yacht master c'est jouable non ? (ou alors il faut impérativement le Capitaine 200 pour faire ça en france ?)

[@brianboys9015]

Huw Huw How How How

[@pewdiepiefake7483]

*The Sailing Frenchman* Which location you liked the most ? ♥️
