▶︎ ABOUT THIS TRIP
Sailing Scotland’s West coast onboard our good old Dufour 35 from 1974. We left our home port of Paimpol (France) on July 2021 to explore the Inner and Outer Hebrides for about two months and a half. It took us roughly six days to make it to Scotland via the English Channel, St George’s Channel, the Irish Sea, and the North Channel, and same on the way back. We stopped at 46 different anchorages, did not use any port or marina, and barely used the engine, which made the trip more interesting and significantly cheaper. Western Scotland is a sailor’s paradise, and I hope this short film can inspire you to set sail to this beautiful part of the world!

Navigation estivale dans l’ouest de l’Écosse à bord de notre bon vieux Dufour 35 de 1974. Nous avons quitté notre port d'attache de Paimpol (Bretagne) en juillet 2021 pour explorer les Hébrides intérieures et extérieures pendant environ deux mois et demi. Il nous a fallu près de six jours pour rejoindre l’Écosse via la Manche, le canal Saint-Georges, la mer d'Irlande et le canal du Nord, à l'aller comme au retour. Nous avons visité 46 mouillages différents, n'avons utilisé aucun port ou marina et n'avons presque jamais utilisé le moteur, ce qui a rendu ce voyage plus intéressant et nettement moins cher que prévu. L’ouest de l’Écosse est un paradis pour les marins et j'espère que cette petite vidéo vous donnera envie de naviguer dans ces coins magnifiques et pas si inaccessibles !

pretty much the best sailing video I have ever seen, and I have seen a LOT. No talking, no voice-overs, no explanations, just epic epic footage, excellent editing and a great soundtrack. I shared your video with all my friends. The Hebrides is a dream destination since childhood, and sailing is my passion. thank you for such great content!

[@tupaia]

Wow, thanks! I hope you get sail the Hebrides yourself soon!

[@mikecrockett3669]

So well filmed. You brought me there. Wonderful!

[@hughmcgunigel7065]

Well done. Your beautiful video of my beautiful country caused me to shed a tear of pride. This is one of the best sailing videos I have seen on KZbin. Thank you both.

[@BrotherHoodofTheDogxix]

Best sailing video, hands down.

[@yourplumbingpal1225]

Absolutely stunning video. To sit and watch that in my living room is amazing, thank you.

[@matthewdavey5925]

What a fabulous video! So many beautiful shots, I loved it. Well done!

[@chrismoore4206]

Fabulous photography and film making. Well done

[@bilaldettmar6178]

congratulations for your video. your way of filming, the quality of the images, the editing, the perfect balance between the views of landscapes, navigation and everyday life, the choice of the soundtrack ... it's just remarkable. bravo!

[@Bulletguy07]

Excellently filmed and edited. Top class.

[@REngArchitect]

This is the most spectacular sailing videos on KZbin. The imagery is so breath taking and riveting of landscape I believe few have seen. I look forward to more content from you.

[@max_headroom_1987]

Your short films are beautiful. Sooo much better than the usual sailing blogs. Please make more

[@karlborgmann9186]

Inspirational. Just the right amount of talking heads commenting endlessly. 😀

[@tupaia]

Aha, I think we're on the same page on this!

[@johnlees1176]

Hi Guys, There are lots of sailing vids around - yours are the ones by which everything else is measured. I keep my newly acquired boat in Largs - your vid was inspirational to this 64 year old newbie. Well done you!

[@philgray3443]

You lucky man. I am too far away now but sailed the Hebrides when I was just a spring chicken at 62. I got to meet the one and only Lady Muck.

[@jonathangrand1886]

Tout comme la premiere vidéo sur la mer du nord, 15 min d'évasion sur la pause du midi dans cette petite vie bien rangée ... des images incroyables, des musiques extraordinnaires, des cailloux qui servent de poêle et des sourires. Merci pour ce voyage et l'énorme travail qui se cache derrière !

[@rioghbhardainm]

Absolutely stunning video 😍

[@ianlaird2687]

What a beautifully shot film 👏

[@tombain5665]

Beautiful and inspirational. Thanks

[@waderogers]

An excellent video with good production quality and amazing drone footage. I have a friend in Norway who will be sailing to the Hebrides soon and he's likely to post a video to his KZbin channel, so I wanted to get a preview of where he's going and found your video. Will be sure to subscribe. I live and sail in Southeast Alaska, a land of fjords and glaciers, and a temperate rain forest. We frequently see humpback whales, seals, sea lions, Orca, eagles, brown and black bears here and the access to the Pacific ocean along the 'Inside Passage' affords some world class water access and wildlife viewing. I've been racing and crewing on sailboats here for 30 years but the winds here are difficult to predict at times, making for a good amount of sail changes. I like the format of this video, where there's no narration, which allows the scenery and the music to speak for themselves. I too have a KZbin channel and when I shoot video and post it, most of them are just a combination of good video shots and compelling music. Keep up the good work promoting the sailing hobby and lifestyle!

Absolutely fantastic!

[@danknox9986]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[@kirsteneasdale5707]

Nothing my late father loved more than sailing on the west coast. Lovely video and also good choice of some of the late Martin Bennet’s music. It’s refreshing to watch some great filming where the music isn’t just a cheap afterthought.

[@classglobe5.80germany-fine6]

Very nice pictures - thanks a lot!

[@DaveJohnEllis]

I really enjoyed this, beautiful filming from the drone and the camera. Inspiringly

[@terrygunter2709]

Fantastic great to watch thank you

[@brentoneel4094]

You guys rock! Fearless!

[@MarcasTriesEtsy]

Refreshing to see actually sailing without drama and product placement. This actually is just - great - sailing.

[@RichieKeane]

Beautiful

[@AdamFraser-hz4ic]

Wow, this is one of the best videos of Scotland Scotlands tourism board should use this to promote the outer Hebrides Fantastic. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.

[@rnunezc.4575]

[@guyterras9024]

Merci pour cette magnifique vidéo... 😍

[@keithlenton5313]

What a wonderful video of the islands of Scotland, I’m amazed how uninhabited the islands are, and your aerial shot of that abandoned stone village intrigued me , looking forward to more of your videos on your sailing adventures, from a great fan here in Queensland Australia.

[@andreafabi4135]

Great video, very inspiring. Thank you very much!!

[@delboydad5233]

Amazing 🤩. Beautiful video

[@thomasconroy4684]

Beautiful footage

[@elainem4025]

What a beautiful video. I've been to many of these sites while hiking but seeing them from the water was such a treat. You have really captured the magic spell that Scotland can cast on the unwary!

[@iancraig3939]

Stunning. Made my heart weep and long to be reunited with my homeland and home waters.

[@jean-mariebergeal3458]

Tres beau. Merci.

[@corichg]

Lauric & Nao, this is spectacular work. Thank you so much for the work you did to share it with us.

[@PhotoBilly]

just perfect

[@rhysthomas623]

This is good. Very very good!

[@Wayfarer4Christ]

Wonderful!

[@patmer34]

Mince alors, je re-visionne en arrière vos vidéos et celle-ci franchement, elle décoiffe encore plus ! C'est beau, magnifiquement beau ! C'est simple, sans fioritures et pourtant les images donnent le vertige. La musique est immense et prends les tripes, le montage est "léché" aux petits oignons ! C'est aventureux sur un parcours très osé même si en plein été, une mer réputée pas tendre du tout, des terres pas toujours hospitalières, mais si magnifiquement filmé avec une tendresse particulière, j'en ai des frisons. Merci à vous pour m'avoir offert ce succulent moment nordique Amitiés marines Pat

[@billycosta3203]

Thank you guys for this excellent video. Great anchorages and images. Well done.

[@bobbyg072777]

The videography and musical score are nothing short of brilliant!

[@stephenconway4976]

Every. Single. Thing. About this video is beautiful. Thank you.

[@atakd]

Merci pour l'excellent film. J'envisage un voyage similaire pour 2024 après avoir rendu mon bateau au Royaume-Uni après 5 ans à Arzal-Camöel, en Bretagne Sud cette année. Cette région est aussi le paradis des marins.

[@jimsadler8035]

This is why I bought a Yacht........ To Explore the North........ Awesome Video.... Thanks

[@johnlees1176]

After a 2 month trip in Costa Rica & Colombia we’re spending a final day by a pool, time to prep my head for sailing around the Hebrides from early March. What better way than by rewatching your vlog. I still love it. Thanks Guys.

You certainly had much better weather than we did in 2022. A beautifully put together video and shows you live like I love to do. Sail, fish, walk, swim and anchor in remote places. That’s how to live! Fair winds.

[@juanvargas2776]

I can't stop watching your videos! Incredible videography!

[@Toob41]

[@happyafloatsailingpodcast5772]

Excellent work!

[@borisgorkovoi4953]

What a fantastic video. Very nice, well done! I can't wait to sail to those islands this summer.

[@philgray3443]

Thank you for an incredible video. Marvelous work. I sailed there in August some years ago and we were wearing two hats and a hood some days. You reveal the magic of the place. I am envious of your fishing too! Can you mention why the lifelines are crossed over?

[@tupaia]

Thanks! The lifelines are crossed so they aren't in the way of the winch handle when we trim the genoa.

[@martinrasmussen]

Very beautiful footage and fantastic sailing 👌🏻 cheers from Denmark 🙏🏻🇩🇰

[@tonyburgess100]

Beautiful! I loved it, great job!

[@Roamin2004]

[@j.s.763]

Juste trop beau! Merci ❤

[@nellykinghorn]

Beautiful film

[@philgray1023]

Amazing work. Thank you for the video.

[@derekhathaway]

Sailed round Britain in 2021 and spent just 10 days in the “small isles” inner Hebrides! This brought it all back. Excellent filming and editing. I didn’t have a drone then - you’ve shown how to make good use of one! Look forward to viewing your other videos!

[@tonymurphy8135]

Wonderful from start to finish.

[@arnaudclaude7512]

Beautiful and inspiring movie, a good mix of sailing and trekking activities. For Mediterranean sailors it's motivating to discover new ways, thank you 👍
