Princess V39 to Norway: Part 1 | Motor Boat & Yachting

[@paterson00]

Great video doc. Gives an idea on real adventures that can be had with these vessels over the showboating around Monaco. A lot more fun. Norway looks stunning

[@MikePyott]

Great to see you on your adventures again. Your previous adventures inspired me to start motor boating. Keep up the excellent work

[@johnboyle8897]

Thanks Mike. It was a fun trip!

[@ianrkav]

@@johnboyle8897 Didn't you do something similar a few years ago but on a smaller boat? I think you were up around Scotland.

[@johnboyle8897]

@@ianrkav Yes. We went round the British Isles on a Sealine 34. Last year we took Cecienne to St. Petersburg - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYGbZGlubJeab7c

[@ianrkav]

@@johnboyle8897 Yes an S34 wasn't it. I must look for that trip again. I've already watched your Russian and Norway trips. Fascinating. Thanks.

[@SailPalarran]

Your videos are nice and they give you a feeling of what cruising these areas are like on a small motorboat. Thank you for that. I do think that maybe you dramatized the headland rounding a bit. This is normal conditions where I'm from and we are out in it all the time in similar boats (Searay 40'). I've only watched this first video but it would be nice to see your experiences with anchoring.

[@dbuttifant1]

Love these kind of series :)

[@richdad100]

Wished I lived in Europe to undertake trips like these (but not at the moment). Stay safe.

[@mathiaschristensen7188]

Just watched you video and then I saw that you were on Silda. They is actually where I have a family cabin or a small house that me and my family are at in the summer and falls. This blows my mind

[@jbss7382]

So glad you're back out and filming John. Great to see the Princess looked after you as well. Roll on ( forgive the pun😂) part 2.

[@johnboyle8897]

Pun forgiven!

[@rfk1984]

I enjoy watching you videos, but I do miss a bit more intro to a series like this one, maybe with you explaining and showing you preparations on the boat and packing supplies , the route, introducing the crew, etc. I would also like to know the outside temperatures vs. Inside temperatures on the boat with the cockpit cover? But please continue uploading your adventures 👍🏻

[@didinos]

My favorite part of the YBWTV channel! Welcome back, looking forward to the next installments. Hopefully with more in-boat footage than last 'season'

[@colinkemp3016]

+1 Great to see you back again John...absolutely love your videos. That V39 looks to be fantastic and would love to hear more about how it is performing, what it's like for those incredible adventures. Not at the expense of the scenery though. I reckon we just need full 30 minute episodes :) Great work.

[@johnboyle8897]

Thanks Didinos. I don't tend to focus much on filming in-boat mainly but I will bear this in mind for our next series planned for next year.

[@johnboyle8897]

Hi Colin - and thanks. The boat is awesome and more than capable of doing the trips. Plus a pleasure to live on board!

[@colinkemp3016]

I noticed you're using the full cockpit canvas (reminded me of your Round Britain tour and the day you used the covers en passage for the first ever time on your Sealine!!) Have you got the cockpit heating option, and if so, how cosy is it when underway and docked? Enough to use of an evening rather than heading down below? Great to see these boats used in proper northern climes, so keen to hear how an open back sports cruiser fares on the practicality front in those conditions.

[@johnboyle8897]

haha yes - good memory Colin! Yes we have the cockpit heating and it works really well both underway and when docked. Highly recommended!

[@bluetickfreddy101]

Beautiful Thank you

[@DarkHorse70]

This is a fun video. Real use of a boat, not asinine videos of a show home. Those windscreen wipers are a true blessing (not!)

[@ChrisSummerfield]

Would love to go on one in the South of France, maybe Monaco

[@Juisfala]

Stunning! Would be nice to know beaufort level and which size had the waves?

[@johnboyle8897]

Hard to tell Carlo - but it was definitely the most frightened I've ever been at sea...

[@MrSlundell]

The swells looked real nasty. Almost got seasick in the couch :) Get a small gimbal to fix a camera to the boat and you will get even more immersed in the experience. I have done some tests with gimbals in heavy seas and it gives you a much better feeling for the sea conditions. Love these trip videos!

[@johnboyle8897]

We have a couple of Go-Pro's so will give this a try. Cheers!

[@haccuk]

A really good series thank you very much. Could you have gone say 10 to 20 miles offshore to avoid the worst of the Stadt headland? I see that Norway is looking at building a ship tunnel to avoid this. Do you have any news on that?

[@okumonux]

WOW!

[@jackerom6838]

Nice!

[@klauspeter2735]

A question which comes to my mind when I see a sportscriuser in these areas: does the heating in the cockpit work when the cockpit tent is on?

[@MotorBoatYachting]

Yes, you feel the benefit of the heating with canopy up and door zipped closed.

[@siegfriedwegmann5821]

Nice Video. How did. you get to norway? U told only after 8 days.. Will there be a Video of that part of the journey?

[@johnboyle8897]

Thanks Siegfried. Editorial decision about the first part of the journey... though I do agree that it was all part of the adventure! Actually went from Falmouth to Dartmouth where we put in due to radio problems. Then to Eastbourne, crossed Channel to Breskens, tucked into the Dutch canals for a while, on to Cuxhaven and through the Kiel Canal and then along the Baltic Coast of Denmark to Skagen. Just looked back through my log book to answer your question Siegfried, and it was definitely an eventful voyage to there!

[@skunkjobb]

South Utsira or Syd Utsira as we say in Sweden, I've always thought it was in Sweden since they name it in the Swedish shipping forecast too.

[@MostAmazing69]

You should have visited Stavanger!

[@johnboyle8897]

Check episode 2...

[@marius9900]

Noen norske her? Ant Norwegians here?

[@MemoryLaneCinema]

this boat is NOT class A, so it should not cross oceans which they did

[@johnboyle8897]

Interesting comment - we didn't cross any oceans! We crossed the English Channel...

[@Bolek989]

What's class A?

[@rykehuss3435]

Bolek989 Its a CE-certification. There are 4 classes: A, B, C, D. The A-class (Ocean) is for very big ships (superyachts), capable of operating in the high seas (Atlantic, Pacific etc) with no land in sight, significant wave height of over 4 meters and over 8 beauforts. The B-class (Offshore) is for large boats, starting at around 40 feet. Capable of crossing open oceans with no shore in sight. Can handle significant wave height of 4 meters or less, and 8 or less on the beaufort scale. Mind you that this Princess V39 is B-class, but so would be a 60 foot Sunseeker too which couldve handled these waters much easier. Length matters more than the CE-class. The C-class (Inshore) is for medium sized boats. Should be used only in near-shore voyages. Significant wave height 2 meters or less, and 6 or less on the beaufort scale. The D-class (Sheltered waters). Can handle significant wave height of 0,3 meters and 4 or less on the beaufort scale. Obviously none of these certifications matter if the captain doesn't know what he's doing. You put a novice in the helm of a 50 foot B-class cruiser and in these waters, bad things could happen.. What a boat can or can't do is 90% decided on who's commanding her.
