Sailing the Solent with a Hallberg-Rassy 48 mk II

Sailing the Solent. We left Lymington to sail to Cowes.
Upwind sailing on flat water.
( The previous part of our journey will follow 😉.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Don’t know who we are?
We are Niels & Marloes.
Sailing with our Windfinder, a Hallberg-Rassy 48 mk II.
Sailing wherever she will take us for the next six months, or maybe longer.
I 🙋🏽‍♀️ quit my job to go on this adventure. Niels can work remote.
Most of all, we are in love with our Windfinder. It doesn’t matter where we sail to. She is the journey as well as the destination.

Fijn dat jullie toch een zwemvest dragen

[@sailingwindfinder]

Eigenlijk altijd als we zeilen ⛵️.

[@edwinfennema1886]

Maar waar zijn de zwemvesten?

[@sailingwindfinder]

Aan, Spinlock lite, allebei. Alleen door onze blauwe shirts niet goed te zie .

Don't you disembark and go ashore? Discover cities and shop?

Love the sailboat and video -- BUT -- Have you turned off the sounds and put music on? Why not let us listen to the proper natural sailing sounds? Most people don't like music videos especially since most people have different preferences in music and, if they wanted to listen to music they wouldn't do a search for Hallberg Rassy 48 mk2 sailboats. The perfect sailing video would be easy to make - simply post 1 hour of continuous sailing - no editing, no fake music or noises, no story telling required and no fast forwarding / time lapse required. I believe that people simply want to feel like they are part of the experience and can sit and watch a wonderful sailboat and cool couple, cutting through the water. Maybe put the camera on the aft end and just record it all.. Call it "virtual sailing with Windfinder". Perfect imo. If I can make a suggestion for your consideration - record everything whenever you sail and save those videos. They could be amazing and require little editing. Post them in 20 minute segments or 1 hour at a time. You decide. But don't overthink it and don't spend hours editing this or that and spend time agonizing over music etc. Sometimes the simple things work best. If you have several cameras, then place them in different places and splice them together.

Thank you for your reply. We just want to share what we are doing while sailing. The sound of the wind in the GoPro/ phone or other action cam is really annoying. But I will take it in to consideration not using music, for I love sharing these videos. While I want to spend a minimum of time in post-processing.

@thegpysi I think it isn’t sad. It is so easy to have an opinion about something someone makes. Just typing it in a comment. So, how would you do it? That would be helpful to know. I try my best and yes, music is the hardest part for there is a lot of music to choose from. The original sound of the video is full of wind noise. I try to compress it in post-processing but that did not work. I am all ears on learning to make better videos. Greetings 🙋🏽‍♀️.

@@sailingwindfinder ..understood. We love your videos. I guess wind noise on the microphone is not desirable as you said. I mean the natural sounds without that horrid strong wind on the microphone which makes russles away the sound.

@@michaeltca3103 Thank you. This is just a hobby of mine. Putting some clips together. 🙂

@@sailingwindfinder Nice hobby! We viewers can be demanding...sorry about that. Just love watching!
