SLEEPLESS NIGHTS on the English channel

[@maxschriebl]

@thesailingwolf Great Video, hope you like your new Website!

[@jakoblangsailing]

Really happy with it, thanks a lot! 🔥 thesailingwolf.com/

[@janetcutler9539]

I'm impressed to see when you have a problem you head for the nearest harbour to sort out what's causing them and also to acknowledge when your sleep deprived you need to get to a harbour and get sleep. That in it's self shows how safety conscious you are.! God bless. 🙂

[@sailingwyn]

Great videos and well done on the footage and editing. Keep them coming:)👍

[@jakoblangsailing]

Thank you! 😃 More to come

[@michaelaldred6529]

LIked your sailing video to Guernsey. You have Great talent keep the good work up.

[@jakoblangsailing]

Thank you so much!

[@markthomasson5077]

Like your siphon pump to fill the diesel. I normally pour half via a funnel, and half over the deck!

[@jakoblangsailing]

That pump is simple but really works well

[@steveD-c6x]

Brilliant video, great journey and story, so impressed, you can be very proud of your sailing adventures

[@jakoblangsailing]

Your support means the world to me. It's comments like yours that make sharing those videos so rewarding!

[@ChrisSchofield]

I am super impressed by your solo experience and even more impressed with your supreme filming and editing skills! Keep up the great work. I look forward to more great videos of your adventures!

[@jakoblangsailing]

Thank you! 🙌 More to come

Fantastic voyage! Your footage is well shot and production values are mostly excellent, so kudos to you young man! The first rule of sailing is keep the water out of the boat. Rule#2, keep the crew in the boat. Much success! Your boat is a beauty, despite the mechanical issues. It's always electric or engine eh? But you handled it with aplomb.

[@jakoblangsailing]

Thanks mate! Yeah, I‘ve refited all of the electrics myself, except the engine wiring for charging the batteries. The pre owner of the boat did a bit of a chaotic work there which I fixed on Guernsey and there were no problems while sailing back :) The engine problem was my fault since the new fuel meter seems line it wasn‘t 100% compatible with the sensor inside the fuel tank although the manual said so

[@freeenergyonshore2828]

Gut gemacht, sowohl die Navigation, wie auch die das "selbst in Frage stellen" bezgl Müdigkeit etc. Ich wünsche dir viele Abos und schöne Trips. Grüße von der deutschen Nordseeküste von einem Mitglied der Motor Fraktion ;)

[@jakoblangsailing]

Dank dir! 😊

[@MyFlyfishing]

So pleased to have found your channel.

[@jakoblangsailing]

Thanks mate 🙌

@@jakoblangsailing 1986/1987 I packed my job in and sailed down the uk east coast in company with some colagues and crossed the channel to France. We worked our way down through the French canals unti we got to the Med.

[@olivernore2549]

Love your videos man. Deeply inspired by you🤩

[@jakoblangsailing]

Hey, thanks a lot mate :)

[@theoldsailmaker6408]

Schönes Video! Danke für's mitnehmen. Grüße aus Wien

[@jakoblangsailing]

Dank dir 🙌

[@billchurchouse9575]

You are asking to drown,you need to be on harness and tethered. Sooner or later you will Fall OFF YOUR BOAT. 4:07

[@jakoblangsailing]

Thx for telling! Yeah, like also many other recommend, will definitely do that more disciplined 🙌

[@DouglasCampos84]

Subscribed! Man just do one video telling us who you are, what boat you have, what you wish.... Make the introduction, if we will follow your journey, it's nice to know a little bit about you, your experience and your boat! Nice winds dude! Best regards from Brazil!

[@jakoblangsailing]

Thanks a lot man! Something like that is already planned :)

[@SebastianPaszek]

nice footage, nad edit. Well done on the adventure!

[@jakoblangsailing]

Thank you :)

[@martinpacher458]

well done ! 👌

[@jakoblangsailing]

Thanks! 🙌

[@VideomakerLitoraneo]

😲👋👏👏

[@jakoblangsailing]

Thank you 🙌

[@markthomasson5077]

I have sailed from Guernsey many times, yup the tides are fast ( more fun in Scotland where I now am). So did you leave at the wrong time to catch the tide? Or perhaps you failed to say this was intended as the tide past Cherbourg was more important

[@jakoblangsailing]

When you're sailing nonstop on the English Channel it's pretty much impossible to always go with the tide. It can be tough but sailing against it for hours on end is a part of it....

[@tfleiter]

Very well made video…you did not mention where “home” is for you and your boat. Solo-sailing should be something for old folks…get some friends to join you. That way you will get more sleep…especially if you are in a busy shipping area like that. And you heard that before: wear your safety equipment and tether line all the time. I know from a very experienced sailor who slipped on his boat while anchoring in his marina, hit his head and lost consciousness on the way into the water…and drowned - although people from neighboring boats jumped after him right away. Some part of your boat will try to kill you, eventually. Make sure it will not be successful! Good luck for your journey!

[@jakoblangsailing]

Thanks a lot mate! I actually prefer being underway solo, it's a challenge for its own and I love it. Will definitely wear my safety equipment regularly from now on, once you go in the water offshore there is no going back I guess...

[@malthus101]

1:02 - you oculd have had some fun with Adobe After Effects on that boat name... 😎

[@jakoblangsailing]

Trying to avoid AE whenever I can 😂 Hate that thing

[@truckerdtv3496]

OK I subscribed you got me

[@jakoblangsailing]

Thanks a lot!

[@truckerdtv3496]

No problem keep up the great sailing@@jakoblangsailing

[@Chris17198]

Hey buddy … Have you not considered a global circumnavigation .. or at least a larger ocean crossing..? I know this can be very daunting but you look like you’re most certainly experienced enough …

[@jakoblangsailing]

Defenitely a goal of mine in the future :)

[@gerrywilson4907]

Please give details of your boat.

[@jakoblangsailing]

You can find them here thesailingwolf.com/the-boat/

[@SuperDirk1965]

UK courtesy flag in Guernsey? 😱

[@jakoblangsailing]

Uk red ensign flag, which is different to the UK flag. Since Guernsey is under British management you can hoist the Guernsey flag, or the red ensign

[@markthomasson5077]

@@jakoblangsailingaye, but please don’t call it the English flag!

[@TheAmber2222]

Your a tough young man, looks like this is not your first rodeo you have experience

[@jakoblangsailing]

Been in a lot worse weather before, but not singlehanded

[@markthomasson5077]

Don’t rely on AIS. A few fishing boats turn theirs off, illegally, so others can’t see where they are catching fish. ps, get your sleep in during the day, as soon as safe, rather than wait until night.

[@jakoblangsailing]

Notices that. I usually nap a lot during the day, so that adds up at night

[@gregfawcett5152]

Great video...always wear your vest tied into your jack line even in light conditions...should you go over...you will have about 30 minutes to think about how stupid you were before you die.

[@jakoblangsailing]

As many here in the comments have adressed, will defenitely wear my lifeline as often as possible in the future

[@jomgamez3082]

Gehst du gar nicht mehr schule ? Cooles Video aber

[@jakoblangsailing]

Hey, danke danke 🙌 Ja doch, im Moment schon noch
