Touching base - Ep 194 - The Sailing Frenchman

[@leo169]

The 'art of sailing' takes many forms and has many stages. Looking forward to the next bit of 'bla bla...' 🙂

[@marclegros6463]

Bonjour Hugo. Je comprends parfaitement cette inflexion de ton parcours pour l'avoir vécu moi-même... Continue à être purement voileux et curieux de toutes les façons d'évoluer sur, au-dessus voir en dessous de l'eau, puis de nous transmettre ta passion. Bon courage, je saurai être patient. 🔜

[@garethcampbell5007]

Hugo, enjoy your time & share when you can ( especially in the winter when boats are out of the water) Watched every episode & enjoying your journey.

[@kahfr25]

C'est bien cette petite mise au point sur le contenu avenir etc! Merci de tout ce que tu partages😀

[@jimb6208]

Keep moving forward, Hugo, I'll tag along!

[@hillcountrymax]

Hugo, the work you put in to sharing pieces of your journey are always a breath of fresh air. As someone who lives 1500km from any ocean and in America you are a window to a life I could hardly imagine.

[@TheOldBreed1969]

Hey great video and thank you for sharing. We wish you all the very best with your new endeavors. Remember my friend the only thing that is permanent is everything is going to change 😎. All the best🤙

[@ribohne]

Keep them coming. Always happy to see your name come up on KZbin. Your coat looks like 'Oui Oui's car. Tres jollie. Bonne chance..

[@lincolngrove2808]

Take your time, happy to see a video when it's posted, no need to be up to date. I like your work.

[@bobrat]

Good video, thanks for the updates. I see you've gone from a mini 6.5 van to an IMOCA van for your home office. Nice upgrades.

[@CHIRDNET59]

A bientôt Hugo Stephane

[@Blorg42]

Just this video to explain why you are so busy and late on editing, is a master piece of editing art with all musics and timelaps! Bravo

[@jimbean2274]

SailingFrenchman-style ;)

[@rosiegreddogyachts4135]

All good with changes. The essence of life.

[@jaminbear]

Thanks for sharing these videos with us

[@blakegoeman]

Hugo, I’ve been following since your days of cruising which I love and miss. But I am a fan for life whatever travels life takes you on! Whatever you do, don’t stop sharing with us!!!

[@petersoakell6950]

Bro, your edits are A1. Keep rolling.

[@robertwest7703]

[@willmv4139]

[@francojoaquim569]

HUGO THANKS FOR KINDLY SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND SPEND ALL THIS TIME EDITING.... TO GIVE TO US SO MUCH OF YOUR EXPERIENCE .... I WISH TO YOU ALL THE BEST.... FAIR WINDS & MY KIND REGARDS..... 🍾🥂 A VOTRE SANTÉ......

[@mhensen1]

Hugo, best wishes, hope family is ok, say hi to your mom, and thanks for her captions. You do you! Only you can do you and I personally love watching you navigate this life thing as you do it so well. Nice to see Jack, and can’t wait for more of your sailing life, but like you said, it don’t pay the bills, so I will happily wait, cheers Hugo

[@captainheather]

Haha so the real reason you are not putting out videos so often is you caught the wing bug! It’s fantastic this wing thing isn’t it? It’s consuming all my spare time too 😂 and the north gear is top notch can’t wait to see your wing episodes

[@26N80W]

Enjoying the journey. Best of luck in the transition. You have come a long way to get here.

[@FreddyDali]

Hello Hugo, merci pour la vidéos et les nouvelles. Tes vidéos sont toujours au top, continue! J'espère que ta maman va bien. Prends bien soin d'elle! J'ai hate de voir les vidéos de tes aventures! Take care!

[@romainpetrozzi5636]

Merci !

[@brucebrown9604]

Fantastic multitalent... a master of all trades and a jack of none! 😉 Keep persevering, keep your values and your sanity, enjoy what you do. And thanks for taking the time to inspire others! 👍 😎

[@alexandrerosier2044]

Hello Hugo, premier petit message de soutien depuis tout ce temps que je te suis ! Grand respect pour tes choix de projets et de vie qui t'ont amenés à ce que tu es aujourd'hui... J'ai aussi vécu cette liberté il y a longtemps, et je compte bien la retrouver un jour ! Tes vidéos me maintiennent et me motivent à garder cet objectif,.. Bon vent à toi pour la suite de tes aventures nautiques... Tranquille pour tes montages vidéo, ta communauté a beaucoup de patience 🤘!

[@markgallagher1376]

Glad you are able to spend more time at home and still sail. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@etiennem1653]

Salut Hugo ! Je travaille chez Multiplast et il me semblait bien que c'était toi que j'avais croisé au chantier en début d'été dernier. J'ai pas trouver le temps de venir te saluer et vous étiez bien speed vous aussi. Bref cool si tu postes du contenu sur la construction/les matériaux composites ça peut être intéressant. Tu "t'installes" un peu dans la région ? Bon spot pour le camion sinon ;) au plaisir de te croiser à l'eau un de ces 4.

[@kenberrymsc739]

Incroyable!

[@ollegbolleg]

Thank you for the Updates! Looking forward to all the cool videos. Especially now in winter, when I cant sail by myself and need to wait for spring.

[@alanduncan4691]

Good to see a video from you Hugo. You seemed a little subdued, I hope your Mum is ok.

[@michelpique5573]

Ah oui superbe aventure, continue, ne lâche rien, merci pour ce partage.

[@jaumemarti6290]

Gret Hugo. Nice to hear from you again.

[@carbarrer6]

You're amazing Hugo. Thanks for the update. And I hope your mom gets better. All the best, Carlos

[@kemmhs]

Appreciate the news man, thank you. You have inspired me and continue to do so in my own sailing endeavors. Life definitely has its curved balls, but they unfailingly strengthen the brave. “Audentes fortuna juvat”. In French, “La chance sourit aux audacieux”. You are one of them, have no doubt. Looking forward to hearing more from you…whenever :) PS- One of the best sailing videos for me ever is the one you did during the Clipper race on Halong Bay from South America, (Rio?) to Capetown, I have watched it countless times, fantastic surfing in the Southern seas…you are a excellent skipper Hugo who inspires confidence. Bravo!

[@nickgallwey7941]

Hugo, As ever your videos are a joy. I hope your Mum is ok and we will wait patiently for whatever you have to offer, whenever it comes. Fair winds and calm seas mon ami.

[@lejardindekasper]

Salut Hugo, voilà de bonnes nouvelles qui laissent présager de bien belles aventures. Marc

[@captainheather]

Oh and as a mom I totally approve of you taking care of mom when she needs it hope she is ok

[@grodsbro]

you make me dream

[@saaaandro]

super. big up

[@wills681]

Hugo, my French language is very basic but your van is not ugly. It is 'jolie laide'. Looking forward to more videos. Your mother does an ace job on the captions.

[@damienbriolet7334]

Bravo! Looking forward coming videos. For sure you are living deeply your passions and relationship with ocean.. Thanks for sharing. All the best man.

[@NotFullyFlared]

gogogo hugo! maybe consider hiring a youtube editor from time to time to catch up:) such esteemed sailing youtuber could use more consistent uploading! there is a mission in it, I mean you hyped me enough so I tried sea sailing first time this year and I loved it!

[@stanaardoom9945]

So excited about the Ann Alé episodes!

[@harryadams5651]

Good to hear/see. It's all about sailing that I'm Interested in, the other stuff is just interruption Keep going. Allez vite

[@markgilmour5757]

Been dropping in on your videos for a few years, I first started by watching your series on solo crossing the Atlantic. Really inspirational. Keep up the good work, 👍

[@josailing8457]

Thank you Hugo, sounds very promising. Just keep on posting, I‘ll stay tuned 😊

[@darrinpearce9780]

Excellent work mate. Your video's are always eagerly awaited.

[@reloadncharge9907]

Take your time…assume mom is alone now, I have been there. Whatever your project, I will be watching and waiting while I cruise my catamaran thru the Bahamas/ Caribbean. You have come a long and arduous way since building up your first boat in the orchard…..still waiting to hear of your Vendee entrance…..thx, Andrew

[@claudebelanger5284]

Merci Hugo. Va ton chemin comme tu l'entends...Mais on ne te lâchera pas...

[@ainord1]

Sorry to hear of your loss. Family comes first mate. Look after your mum and enjoy whatever sailing you can do. Look forward to seeing what you can manage to edit. All the best

[@Bacek_r]

Хорошие видео. Продолжайте это дело. Удачи!

[@AKaktusA]

Great update. If you put so much work into a "small update", i cant imagine how great the other videos are going to be

[@mattn7415]

I think I arrived as you were becalmed in the Atlantic 3-4 years ago. It's been a fascinating adventure to watch but life throws different challenges up along the way. I'm always looking out for your new videos so when you have time there are thousands of us who will tune in. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family if we don't see you again before then. 🇦🇺🇫🇷

[@dimml0r]

some things i wanted to say thank you hugo. i came for the refit of annale. apparently this was one of your first videos anyway.... so I've been here a while. enjoyed a lot of it. during your youtube carreer i bought my own boat, sailed it all around europe with a good friend during covid summer 21 and 22. you were certainly a big inspiration for that new life. i like how you just edit and mix videos from different times in your life. its the kind of content youtube was invented for. take as much care for your mum as you can. 90% of the people dont get to sail really until retirement. so i think you can deal with a couple of years of different life. you and annalaure_s still not married is a shame though and really excited for the final carribean videos from years back. btw: i would like to see you combine you two loves: fast sporty sailing and cruising. youtube has many cruisers that spend a lot of time anchoring. and lots of regatta stuff. but nobody who just skips oceans constantly on his own boat. like "alright, i really want to see mosambique so i will solo it from tahiti now in 115 days or something like this :D" ... like a cruising-channel with lots of fast open water sailing. basically what you do with boat delivery already just with your own boat in exotic locations. and if you ever, EVER feel alone... watch "chasing bubbles" by alex rust. if you have not it is a must, if you have already do it again. it keeps my heart going :) ah and never apologize for not posting or editing. lots of youtubers dont put stuff for years... and come back strong. we will be here

[@johnbroomfield2172]

The van is a ripper Hugo 👌👌, is there anything you cant do ?😂😂 Getting some of your merch 👍😎

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Hey Haz, thanks a lot, will send you more pictures about the van talk soon

[@ttaylor1808]

Thanks for inclusion in your journey. I hope your Mother is OK.

[@eliasvetter3561]

Love your videos Hugo, so inspiring, bin a fan from the first video i watched! Love you caribean cruise in the ecume de mer, great boat, live on one aswell:) cant wait to go over the pond in a little boat like ann ale and cruise the carbiean myself❤️

[@Nerd3927]

Cool new home!

[@cesarmuttio506]

Genio!!!

[@noahcurtis6633]

Great video 👍 do you still sail 6.50 because I love those videos

[@sailingjava]

Bon vent Hugo 🌬 And Why "not those patreon things..." ? Would you explain ? Please. Cheers.

[@remyaumeunier9548]

merci à vous et à votre mère pour la traduction cela serais sympa d'avoir des nouvelles du petit voilier bi-couleur retapé dans les bois

[@TheSailingFrenchman]

Salut, j'attaque le montage des images qu'il me reste de Ann Alé, voila un nouvel épisode : kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6jLeaCwd894hLc

[@giorgiolecchi3643]

Thanks for sharing your lifechange, good luck and in case would be an honour to join for class40 delivery 😃

[@stevelawrie9115]

You've had a great channel, hope you still want to contribute. It must be hard living away all the time and being under the lens all the time. It might be like juggling two jobs. I'm a huge fan of Patrick Laine, Patrick hasn't posted for a while but I'm still subscribed and when he posts again, I'll catch it. I'll catch yours too.

[@dronesdopedro]

brother if you are staying a couple of hours in lisbon without nothing to do let me know i want to pay a beer :D

[@burbery17]

Merci Hugo. It's great to see you prioritise family over videos. Speaking of which, I'm not sure videos of you in a bikini will increase your number of views, but it's almost 2023, so you never know 😜

[@user-qh9zy6pw9z]

salut Hugo, Je suis un triple A de la première heure (Addicted An Alé) avec tous tes projets et voyages.on en prend plein les mirettes. Question du jour le sweat multicolore: je kiffe une adresse?

[@jimbean2274]

My dear Hugo, sailing is a great sport, only all sports are not really horny without a horny athlete ^^. You have shared your life with us a little bit and one was allowed to experience the dream of "do and don't blabla ;)" together with you. I am a fan of sailing, however, I am even more fan of your Charkter. You are a friendly and peaceful person, I wish you as a friend, stay as you are and even if you become a cook... I remain your fan. All the best and may the wind be kind to you :) with happy greetings Gereon

[@pbkleck]

Je savais que les skippers s'y connaissaient en polaires mais pas à ce point.

[@tomwaite4594]

Dear "Hugo The Real Boss" , all singlehanded sailors battle with the difficulties of balancing the importance of family, and the call of the Sea. I was at sea both times when my parents died and as an old man now, it's one of my biggest regrets . Take care of those at home the Sea ,and the 129,000 in your "extended" family will be there when you return.

[@planet4allofus]

Stop racing , start exploring , so many amazing places on this planet you'll be missing. You started out as a cruiser , racing is to limited and to competitive with minimal rewards. Rewards are not measured in $ but in the experiences you have on the way.

[@rom4942]

Et sinon on en parle de la polaire ?

[@jason-ge5nr]

never did I want the realities of sailing. I just wanted fantasy.
