My first single handed race - Ep125 - The Sailing Frenchman

[@patrickvale196]

Stripey shirt... bicycle.. Nutella snackage... loving it!

[@grahamm2015]

I remember a tee shirt from my youth "Corner city, we're gambles roam and the dice are thrown". Being conservative and sail up the middle of the beat is the safe option, but you never forget it when you bang a corner and get it right. Keep on sailing 👍

[@sebipow7024]

"I love when being right means doing nothing" :-D Very good indeed!

[@alexmorgan3435]

Famous last words.

[@patrickvale196]

Lovely solo take down close to the buoy!! AND filmed it for us!! Merci Mon Ami!

[@keithc5729]

Thank you for the fantastic video. Mini racing in English! More technical sailing stuff would be great. Watching from California.

[@yakekaj]

I remember seeing that split in the field on the tracker and you were at the sharp end of your unlucky half... You are doing well....!!

[@darrinpearce9780]

Thanks for the video, conditions looked amazing. Winter here, blowing 35knots outside at the moment, prefer to be there!!

[@ctdt630]

Même si on connaît la fin de l'histoire, c'est super sympa de voir tout ça en video. Ça fait super plaisir de voir ton projet avancer!!!

[@hwntwww]

Awesome, I followed the race on the app. You did good. That Gracheva is good. This race was all about tactics, not so much boat speed

[@impresscoaching]

I love these videos. he's doing something different and fascinating. I was actually nervous for him as the race approached haha.

[@seanpaul2740]

Merci pour le partage de ces moments de préparation et d’avant course, que d’aventures depuis la rénovation de ton bateau au milieu de la campagne, à chaque fois c’est un pur plaisir.

[@jesse.taylor]

So cool to so you doing your thing, and the boat is small enough so everything is in frame. Fair winds Hugo!

[@sailingavocet]

i noticed that too!

[@gepgeps]

Love your videos and your style of sailing! You're inspiring!!!

[@sailingavocet]

Your videos never dissapoint!

[@sebastiantraxler5550]

what a fantastic insight! I am raving a sport catamaran, but it is my dream to set sails and do ocean racing

[@steveeb9567]

Well done, thanks for taking us along. That's a lot of work to put these videos together.

[@eelcosnijders1694]

Yeay, Alex Laline!! I sailed with him on Clipper Telemed 15-16! Rooting for you both.

[@lejardindekasper]

Merci pour ce partage Hugo. Je suis de tout coeur avec toi et je t'encourage comme je peux. Allez tu vas y arriver. Marc

[@fredericp2740]

Magnifique vidéo de voile comme je les aime !! Merci Hugo !!

[@mhensen1]

Nice Hugo, always a pleasure watching you sail, nicely done

[@epimel2002]

Gâche / Nutella, le p'tit dej des champions ! :)

[@airdad5383]

I like the way that headsail sticks out on a pole past the front of the boat.

[@michaels0510243]

It's called a bowsprit...not a pole :)

[@airdad5383]

@@michaels0510243 as you can see I'm not a sailor but I do like these videos.

[@GregChen]

go hugo go ! merci pour les retours sur la course, c'est vraiment cool! et hâte que tu trouves un super sponsorpour la Transat mais ca devrait rouler :)

[@donnakawana]

All that matters is u had fun an u learned something useful for next time!! Looked like a blast!!

[@hervetenot]

Première course plutôt tranquilou côté météo :-) mêmes si le tout petit temps crispe un poil les nerfs. Pour le mauvais bord… ça nous est tous arrivé au moins une fois… j'ai aussi un souvenir cruel à ce sujet, héhéhé. On apprends de ses erreurs. Keep on sailing dude !

[@circumnavigation9386]

Congrats on 9th place. Pretty darn good first time in such a big field.

[@alexmorgan3435]

SPOILER ALERT!!!!

[@cRimPT]

Very nice video. Really enjoy to see all the preparation and tactic choice.

[@gustavodeoliveiramachado1670]

C`est la vie!! thanks for share!!

[@Mrlolhanneslol]

Marius, toll!

[@rick49721]

[@davidcabrera9770]

Thanks for the video, you are such an inspiring person!! Love all you have been doing :)

[@lautaroalaniz3185]

Great video men! Looking forward for more. Just a follower from Argentina, by the way i do not know ur name. Cheers

[@ZoneTelevision]

Epic stuff my guy. Epic! epic! epic!

[@markthomasson5077]

Enjoyed. But did I hear....it’s 8 o clock, midnight in two hours! Not sure I would trust his navigation.

[@gart7809]

OMG, qu'as tu fait avec schtroumpfette avant le départ ? oO

[@AlbertoA15]

Sailing virgins yeeeeeah cap? 😉 9th! Congrats! 👏

[@anthonywalton4423]

great sailing vid

[@MrSilverdragonlite]

If ive translated it correctly, looks like you came 9th overall after 3 stages? Good effort.

[@macdchef]

Fair winds skipper

[@parpithovas]

Again, incrível!

[@alexanderakselsen8860]

Looks really fun! Cool boat too.

[@junk_rig_81]

Super parcours... Dommage pour les "time-lapse" (je me demande si je suis le seul à trouver que ça gâche tes vidéos?) Toutes les images sont bonnes à déguster, tranquillement (même si la course impose la vitesse!)

[@owenpotter2459]

hat looked lovely and relaxing, but was probably anything but relaxing, with stressing about the lack of wind etc. When do you actually do the Transat? Is it in 2021?

[@gurkancetin8453]

Hi ; Nice video thanks... Where is your old boat...?

[@cokeforever]

he sold it before embarking on Clipper race

[@billhanna8838]

Angles , narrow the angles to the mark , Quickest way is the best way

[@Franco.Zanchi]

I've always wanted to race minis, but could never find enough money to do so. Thanks for this 🙂. And you finished 9th? Not bad for the first time.

[@alexmorgan3435]

Spoiler alert!!!!

[@brianboys9015]

Beautiful

[@vitoferemans7687]

i promise, if you let a gopro film for 1 hour during the race, i will watch it all. unedited. just sailing... hahaha

[@MrWolf-xk8sl]

Chief Inspector Clouseau

[@christianjohnson5860]

Fucking love you dude!!

[@ljmtac]

EEEEnOrme entre la coupe de cheuveux et la stache tu fais tres Abraracourcix 😂

[@alexwandels2867]

Excellent piece, as usual. Would even be better without the accellerated footage.

[@celstone]

Disagree, I like a few time lapses!

[@gjunior2471]

😊

[@PanaProductions]

Yewww

[@buddunn5369]

Ed

[@tiagomteles1]

THE ENGINE! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ENGINE?!?! I’M DYING TO KNOW HOW YOU SOLVED THAT ONE

[@daveamies5031]

Tossed it overboard like a good sailor 🤣🤣🤣 Honestly I have no idea, but it seems he got towed out of the harbour for this race.

[@justinvideoman]

Manque de sponsor ton navire...

[@gjpenaloza]

looks like a lot of fun. One question: when bringing the spinnaker down (at about 10:00) the boat sails perfectly in a straight line without having you on the tiller; is it that easy to balance that boat, or are you using autopilot? Cheers!

[@joeblow1942]

Gonzalo Peñaloza Autopilot of course.

[@unperfectcooking]

You need gopro hero 9 with horizon leveling

[@kirkhorrocks4000]

Too many adds/breaks

[@le101..9]

Pourquoi tu te casse les... Boulles à parler anglais??? Tes en classe mini mec... Revient..

[@dogwalk3]

amelie is gorgeous. does she want to offer a rad usa dude citizenship & get married &c &c? also, you are literally a doppelgänger of a past coworker. thanks for the update!
