Sailing Isles of Scilly to Devon | Sailing Florence Around Britain Ep.196

[@terrytomlinson8772]

Your camera work is breathtaking as always - nice to see a sailing channel actually show sailing

[@BalancedLugger]

The best filmed sailing channel on YT. Stunning as always.

[@douglasringholt2606]

I have enjoyed following your adventures. Noticed you had Rolly Tasker sails. I had the pleasure of sailing with Rolly, including the1979 Sydney - Hobart race, A great yachtie and a true gentleman. Unfortunately like many noted skippers he is no longer with us. Father time is catching up with me, and have had to hang up my wet gear.. Keep on posting your adventures.

It's such a joy to see that some channels gather a wunderful, kind crowd, and it's comments like yours, Doug, that make this a better place.

[@bdphourde]

I suppose not every destination or waypoint is a gem of the sea, but we'd never know it by looking at your videos! You have a gift of finding or producing the beauty of every locale you pass through! That is no accident! We see and verify that every other week! You can take just the light, reflections, contrast, shadows, color, and variety, and turn them into a spectacle to behold! But when we do it, it's just ho-hum and nap time! I can't thank you enough for taking advantage of your talent and doing all this for us!

[@David-l8r9w]

These are great 😊 I love reading them at night in my room yh

[@morecowbell20]

We can't thank you enough for all your hard work. It is exceptional.

[@earthangel8730]

Florence was the star in this episode. 🌊 ⛵️

[@Simon-v9w]

Hi enjoying your trip around the world series, watching also your sail around Britain. Well done.

[@jeanmariemontigny9688]

One can fell the crashing on waves at sunset !!!...💯

[@Sp3ktral22]

You guys capture the drama and particularly the waves so well. You get that sense of scale of the sea state like no one else can manage. Kudos!

[@jonunya3128]

it's odd to have a genuine feeling of connection with 2 people I'll never meet. you 2 are very admirable, your work ethic, your talent, your love of your boat.. have a wonderful year!

[@Jim-jh9bd]

this the only sailing show I watch 2 times in case I missed something

[@eleanorgotrel9452]

Have been watching you both for years and finally you've ended up where I've sailed with my family nearly all my life! So amazing to see somewhere I hold so dear on a channel I love so much!! South Devon is so beautiful

[@katywehavetoloveeachother]

No ones camera work if the seas is better than you guys! Love you ❤

[@bobothree]

Your filming and editing is master class.

[@romanpendzich1781]

Love the map at 17:37

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

Another wonderful scenic sail. So appreciative 🇨🇦 ❤

[@SailingSteelSapphire]

Loved the soundscapes - spectacular.

[@adamroodog1718]

i love helford. i worked on a fishing boat there and scillies. when i was young and traveling. when you showed the passage in i got a little tingle of nostalgia. the mist and rooks in the tree up near the yacht club. we used to more the dinghy at the shipwrights. next time your there there is a little path at the end of the village that takes you up to manaccan through the woods. if you get the right time of the year its covered in bluebells. there is a man sized rectangle of stone on the path half way that the locals say was where you would rest when taking a dead fisherman up from helford. its a magic place thanks for reigniting the memory.

[@donnawarmouth9329]

Oh my goodness what else can I add to the already stated above about how beautiful you guys seem to film for us the extraordinary beautiful videos each week. I can not believe a tv channel has not picked you guys up yet!!!

[@uwesoltau4923]

I am blown away again. Your videography is incredible. You are simply the best. Thanks and a happy New Year. Greetings from South Africa

[@darren5472]

Have to say I am loving this series. I have followed your adventures around the world and now seeing you sail in the places that are regular haunts for us is so relatable. We keep our yacht in Southampton and sail these areas regularly, maybe we can follow your example and see the world! Thanks again for sharing.

[@gailmariage5318]

I would love to see more footage of the different shops or eating places you go to. Just to get more of a feel for the different areas. This place is beautiful.

[@lloydbrown9327]

Thanks for another great video!Nice to see lots of beautiful places around Britain! There are beautiful places everywhere in the world! Safe travels, from the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦!

[@soggybottom3463]

Beautiful, thank you and well done guys 👍👏👏👏🤗🤗

[@RobertoBenneficiario]

Dear couple, I watch over 150 channels of sailing every week. But you two (The Lady) Makes the BEST REPORTAGE FILMS!!! Respect!!!

[@davidnichols147]

Truly amazing editing, wishing you both a safe and Happy New Year.

[@richieroma]

Happy New Year, guys, fair winds. One of my fav sailing channels! Love.

[@TheChipster2011]

As usual, I watch with a smile on my face from start to finish, filming and editing exceptional. Thank you.. Happy Sailing xx

[@stevelambert7496]

always look forward to your adventures

[@SailingwithScott]

Beautiful episode!

[@athuddriver]

I really appreciate that you give us info on your routes. So many other pages don't give you much info to follow along.

[@di3352]

As usual, amazing adventures, filmwork and commentary. Thanks for the update and happy sailing! Happy New Year, too! Watching from Queensland, Australia, as usual.

[@rogerstone3068]

11:25 - difficult to believe that vessels THAT size feel a need to shelter from storms blowing through. It certainly puts into perspective Florence's route planning decisions.

[@AfricanFlightStar]

Fantastic, as always! Thank you for sharing all this joy with us. 🙏🏻

[@ianbell5611]

Another great video as alway

[@timallen6025]

Well, whatever latitude you are running along right now, it is delightful to see sunny Salcombe in drek, cold January uk! And watching Florence sings song of fabulous sailing..

[@Ghost_Recon_Actual]

I hope that you are selling your footage from your travels around the English island. It's absolutely beautiful.

[@rolanddunk5054]

Hi,I have been following your channel for some years and they just keep improving all the time.I especially enjoy your project videos.cheers .

[@suzannechance5876]

Always look foward to your postings. Videos are exemplary!

[@alistairmcrae7272]

Hi Matt & Amy, the around Britain series has been wonderful! I have really enjoyed watching from Hobart in Tasmania.

[@ranger2316]

Beautiful... what an adventure!

[@bchost]

The production quality of your videos just keeps getting better and better... not to say they weren't always great. ❤❤❤

[@tomdunn1254]

Wow those opening scenes where spectacular!!!

[@keithh3463]

I appreciate the slow motion when it is rough you can see the movement a lot!

Fantastic as usual boyos

[@FrankMackey-nu6bz]

So glad my algorithm gave me Florence and you wonderful people...sitting here in portsmouth...new Hampshire USA having a cuppa and just enjoying your adventures to the hilt . Yay to you.

[@sauljoesphwiggin]

love the quality of these new videos

[@leonasimmons162]

Beautiful scenery.

[@bigmuppet12345]

Seeing you two in my home town of Salcombe is surreal. I hope you had a wonderful time and got some time to explore the beautiful landscape and beaches. I grew up on the water here. Me and my wife's plan is to get a sailing boat to live on so we can stay here where our family are. We couldn't imagine affording a house in Salcombe!

[@michaeldallimore8590]

As per many other comments your photography (or is it videography) just keeps getting better. Well done and thanks for the video.

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Salcombe is a beautiful roomy anchorage. The sailing is top notch and the drone views provide panorama. You've tempted me to price homes in the areas you visit, just for the fun of it. Thanks for sharing. Happy 2025 🥳

[@johnhanson5943]

Great - as usual!

[@buck_bacon]

Great series! Excellent film work.

[@julianbatcheler9970]

Best You Tube moment of the fortnight… always watch twice LOL.

[@chrisockleton5072]

Thoroughly enjoyable video guys! As always a pleasure to watch, thank you. We were lucky enough in Aug to get into Polperro, such a magical stop off. Needed a high pressure and pretty much still waters - we were surprised by quite a strong katabatic wind overnight! Hopefully you’ll be able to visit soon

[@Buccaneer1971]

Sorry to miss your wedding, enjoy!

Gorgeous sailing and lovely views, thank you.

[@andrewthompson2380]

Superb presentation

[@sailingmistral685]

Brilliant video! Happy New Year and keep on riding. Greetings from Germany.

[@bigbadthesailor5173]

lovely film. fairly wild to see you in such familiar waters - learned to sail on the Helford in 1977 - there were scarcely any yachts moored in those days. the shots of the dawn beat from Scilly are magnificent. thank you, as ever.

[@Rob-r2s]

I'm going to build one of those sailing tenders so that I can use it as a toy to sail only. I'm going to also have a hard tender and plan on stacking the two of them on top of each other at the transom. Yes, getting an OC Tender sailing version which would be great but I want something a bit different and that involves me getting two different boats. I love that carbon mast and how the sail slides up it.

[@tomhermens7698]

Like to buy one. Where?

[@1rafcrafnant]

Great video guys, as usual!

[@jeremylewis4123]

@@tomhermens7698BnB designs, Spindrift model, from NC, USA. Amy’s dad built it just in time for departure in 2016-and it is still seaworthy.

RNLI do a great job. I volunteer in the NSRI here in South Africa. It has been a busy season! Safe sailing!

[@Andre-yu3qs]

Fantastic, have a great new year 2025, thanks for sharing.

[@phedrob3735]

I know people have to make a living, including the use of crab and lobster pots but it really is time some rules were introduced ensuring pots and nets etc were made clearly visible, especially at night. I've encountered a couple of problems myself with pots only bearing the tiniest of black marker buoys

[@martyjones1413]

Had to turn off the other screen because the quality demands your 100% attention. And taking the day off to go dingy sailing❤

[@mojoneko8303]

Have either of you read Hal Roth's book "After 50,000 miles" about his circumnavigation in the 60's or 70's? It's a good narrative about circumnavigating before the internet, cell phones, Sat weather, or GPS. Thanks for the video. Excellent as always.

[@louismonette704]

Simply magnificent pictures and excellent storytelling

[@danthemansmail]

Fair winds SY Florence.

[@sd3693]

Everyone visits Scilly, but no one ever seems to sail to the Isles of Scerious.

[@alanbstard4]

should be more people documenting sailing around Britain. A lot to see

[@ksc743]

I really enjoyed the sailing in this episode and the couple of glimpses of your onshore visits, but no more videos until March now. Did I get that right? And still no updates on Flo's makeover? Rather disappointing. Oh well

[@artsmith103]

I think the opposite. There will be a mid January episode of the end of this trip. Then 2 weeks later at minimum there will be a refit evaluation. If that takes 2 episodes then that goes until mid February. So only 1 more episode to fill the time until March starts the Atlantic crossing. I don't have any special inside knowledge but that's similar to what they've been saying.

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

There will be a new video every 2 weeks as usual, just that in real time we are off shooting the next series. We aim to keep to our once a fortnight schedule. So not to worry there will be Florence videos in Jan and Feb :-)

[@ksc743]

@@SailingYachtFlorence thank you, that's good to hear🙌

[@geoffmilner]

Any thoughts of teaching little ones of your own how to sail?

[@keithevans9804]

Hi, always impressed by your productions. I have had to cancel the method by which I pay for your episodes, but want to continue my subscription by another method. I've tried via the patreon web site but can't get passed the "press settings button on the left hand side of the screen" - there is no settings button on either side of the screen. Can you help? Keith

[@rogerstone3068]

When Matt is tensioning the sail, as at 14:45, and winds it tighter, then glances up at the sail to see if it is right: what exactly is he looking for? The tell-tales? Or is it just judgement by eye?

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

Mostly tell tails but also leach tension, checking to see if we also need to adjust the genoa car position on the track to control the leach better.

[@ratandmonkey2982]

Selling Florence, or just a transatlantic yacht delivery?

[@Sp3ktral22]

How many days did you take for this circumnavigation of the UK?

[@reggiewac]

22:45 Anybody else?

[@FrankMackey-nu6bz]

Seagulls sound a awful lot like Jimmy page sometimes..and thats not a put down.

[@TomTremayne]

Isn't the bit from 15:03 to 15:47 a little bit dangerous? Recently someone tragically died in a yahct race because the boom hit them. Could the boom somehow hit Amy at anytime when she's going along the side or winding that thing? Please be safe guys!

[@artsmith103]

Hope to give you quick insight (winding that thing) rather than speak for anyone. That is a basic tack going upwind. The boat is turning about 90 degrees. From your perspective, the driver asks, ready? Crew answers, yes. That just about eliminates any risk. After that, it's basic sailing mechanics, they do it multiple times per day.

[@TomTremayne]

@@artsmith103 Well yes I'm not a yahctsman so thank you for explaining. I mase more referring to when Amy is standing near the boom up front & had just read online about the deaths in some recent race. i know they're good sailors; really just wanted them to know people care about them..........

[@cliverussell9459]

Why all the worry about bad weather, and rough seas, you have sailed through it before.

[@thomasthornton5737]

😀😀👍👍❤❤ Happy and Healthy 2025!

[@admir_]

There is a balance between great cinematography and teasers. I do not know, to be honest if I like "March promise"... but as many have said, you are a class for your own. I wish you all the best, it is not easy to be great at what you do and also to be profitable (whatever it means in your situation). Think about what is your USP, compared to many others.

[@Jim-jh9bd]

think I like the NON whining you get on other shows You have a problem you fix it . Other shows are like they invented the wheel to replace a dirty filter

[@patriciathorp4911]

I'm just saying what I think is preferable.. Please read my comment again. Thank you

[@paullascelles8362]

It's not all about you!

[@billygrahamyachtsinc753]

Why do you need background music during your video, especially loud and annoying music. The ocean and the wind are music enough, which allows the viewer to take in the scene. Be unique don't follow the others.

[@jaywinters2483]

I stayed up late watching Matt and Amy on their romantic adventures and I dreamed at night that I was alone in the ocean with a beautiful woman and I went to give her a kiss and she became a mermaid slipped into the water & swam away.

[@peterbates4696]

Too dramatic.. it’s just sailing.

[@sandyestabrook3898]

"A beautiful little weather window" time to leave. Despite attractive drone shots, Again not much seen ashore, its peoples etc.

[@artsmith103]

It's a sailing channel, not a backpacking pub crawl channel.

[@bertplank9892]

They're actually a backpacker channel......

[@patriciathorp4911]

I know I'm repeating myself here, but is there any way your youtube videos can be more up to date. For obvious reasons I do appreciate why your pushing patreon membership. But alas, pensioners like me do not have sufficient weekly income to splurge on patron. Looking at your adventures that happened 8 or 10 weeks ago isn't very exciting. I have followed you on most if your journey around the world and then your videos weren't so far past real time.

[@artsmith103]

The videos are going to be every 2 weeks regardless if this is October or December filming. We watch in KZbin time, what difference does it make when the segment was filmed? They are 25 minutes of fantastic sailing on a well explained journey. They need time for editing and to have some idea of the next video start/stop in order to frame the current timeframe. And maybe this arrangement leads to a little more crowdfunding, Florence has more than earned it.
