[@fergusferguson8536]

Great tunes. Love that boat.

[@darrensworkshop6783]

Thank you....... I love the free spirit you have - never let it go!. We are moving to central Portugal to live our retirement in peace and solitude which you have on the boat. We wish you well our friend and keep living the real dream...

[@johnmartin3486]

Moving to Portugal to retire .what a great idea Its beautiful there

[@dnlgrhm]

So fun - I wish I could give many thumbs up! Thanks for taking us along.

Checking in on you on the tracker. Up to second place at one point. Now at seventh. Hang in there. Doing great.

Thank you Hugo. My heart soared at the youthful enthusiasm you shared with us for truly getting offshore. Fair winds

Vendée Globe 2024: A KZbinr is training at Port-la-Forêt, he got his Imoca through patreons spoonsoring!!!! Allez Hugo, j'espère te suivre très longtemps :)

[@Opium1960]

I thought that Hugo will soon reach there. He I simply a very good sailor. But I'm German. So my heart booms for Boris Herrmann -;)

[@alexmorgan3435]

Living the dream well away from all the chaos at the moment. Best of luck Hugo. Hopefully you are back before the usual september storms in the Western Approaches start. In 1979 many boats were lost in the Fastnet Race.

thanks for your time Hugo, like always it's a pleasure to see your adventures. Be the wind with you!

Bravo Hugo. Tu n'aura pas le temps de lire ce commentaire au moment ou je l'écrit, car tu es en ce moment dans le groupe de tête de la course Les Sables Baie de Morlaix. Ton début de course dans cette deuxième étape est simplement magnifique ! Vamos !

[@videojones59]

A *very* tight and competitive race. Great effort! Without having put too much work into my armchair analysis, I am guessing that those who chose to take the longer route around the DST Ouessant got the favorable wind shift.

[@zoji1924]

Good luck on the race! Fair winds

[@gydiuspp779]

Hi Hugo, it is a unexplainable feeling to see you sailing in La Turballe, me and my family live nearly 4km to the port. Good luck !

Salut Hugo, bel entraînement avant la mini. Le temps est idéal et la mer bien plate. Ce n'est pourtant pas son habitude. Bon vent et que tout se passe bien. Marc

[@cokeforever]

So nice to see you back to sailing single handed on a small boat!!

[@nigellucas560]

I came to see you at La Rochelle marina. Impossible to find you. But we salute you for the competition.

Salut Hugo ! Très belle aventure C’est normal qu’il n’y a plus de sous titre en français ? Je suis trop mauvais en English! Bravo pour ta performance

Bonjour Serge Les sous titres en français sont toujours la. Regarde dans le réglage de KZbin ( les trois petits points). Moi aussi je suis nul en anglais 😂

Yes, a DJI osmo action and then any mount as brian said

[@lotsimo]

nice video, such a good atitude....can you tell me about the solarpanels you use?

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Yep, 2x100W

[@BertelsW]

Why does it look like the tiller just locks in to place? He doesn't need to keep a hold of it, but I can't see an auto pilot or windvane.

[@Iclo420]

Auto pilot is probably under the deck.

[@brrraaaapp8502]

Autopilot ram is installed under deck. The black/blue device with buttons on, Hugo has hanging around his neck, is the remote for the autopilot.

[@philgray1023]

Looks like fun. I think your parents look quite young. Damn I must be getting old.

[@nachowind1683]

At night what do you do with the sails?

[@talklein8332]

How do those 2 little solar panels produce enough amps to keep to autopilot running 24/7 ?

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

2x100W, more than enough, plus hydrogenerator in case sun is missing for a long time

[@ctdt630]

Jolie petite boucle! Si jamais quelqu'un a la réponse... : Quelle est l'utilité d'avoir des barres de flèche courbes? Pourquoi seulement 2 sur 4?

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

C'est des barres de fleches poussantes, ca permet de se passer de pataras et la courbure permet d'augmenter le recouvrement du génois
