Sailing Through The English Channel On The Stunning Cheoy Lee Ketch - La Belle Paula

[@vincent7520]

Excellent video.Many should take it as an example : image quality, good framing, simple, no fuss, to the point (sailing in good Cannel conditions), quiet crew, good sound (vs. the chatter and useless comments), feeling of the sea is very well conveyed.Even the sandwich is (sadly, I must say) genuine.

Hahaha glad you like it apart from that bacon sandwich. I forgot to bring our lunchpack that day so had to buy something in a gas station. Was the best option really :)

[@jonathancandor4476]

Yes this is the best sailing video i have seen. The cinematographer showed the communal aspect of sailing in this video. In my opinion the sandwich was an important part of the video. Prior to it little separates the crew of today from the crews of yester year. Once the sandwich was introduced we realize that sailing isn't an ancient technology enjoyed by hobbyists but rather a life style which allows individuals to travel planet earth for free. Excellent video! What year is the boat?

[@charlesleflamand]

Thanks :) the ketch is from the Cheoy Lee warf in HK. If I'm not mistaken she was built in 1972

Beautiful vessel, we live aboard our Cheoy Lee 41!

So do we, but we might be biased. We live aboard a CL 41 and are preparing to cruise around the world. lol! Cheers

I'm looking for cheoy lee ketch for long time please let me know if you know any

[@charlesleflamand]

I'm afraid that I can't help you. The ketch in this video was sold a few years ago.

[@carolelerman9686]

This boat can sail itself.

[@charlesleflamand]

Haha yes :) if your autopilot works...

[@carolelerman9686]

Had one similar set the sails and let go of the helm many times.

[@charlesleflamand]

carole lerman yes she holds course pretty well in a calm sea
