What a lovely life. Lovely boat. Lovely location. allez les Ann Alé. Here is a question. Which of your boats do you miss most? =)
@TheSailingFrenchman4 ай бұрын
Good question! All of them I guess, all boats are a trade off... I miss Ann Alé for its low cost and ease of operation, the mini 6.50 for the speed....etc

Thanks for putting the date in. While your accent has changed over the years and you looked younger it’s good to put it into the proper time line. While the 8 meter boat is much heavier then the 6.5 mini transatlantic, how would the small electric motor, you used on the 6.5, work with the heavier 8?
@TheSailingFrenchman4 ай бұрын
Thanks for that regarding the electric motor... that's a good questions, I'd have liked to try both to compare. I think it would have been just enough to manoeuver inside the harbor, but probably a bit light in 15/20kts dead into the wind in a narrow channel for example
@maralexv5 ай бұрын
I have been following your channel for months... and wanted to ask about border crossing while sailing - what's the procedure? how long does it take? You have done it so many times both in Europe and in the Caribbean. Could you please share your experience and tips/life-hacks? Thanks!
@TheSailingFrenchman4 ай бұрын
It really depends on the country, each country has its own customs and immigration procedures. Can be a 5min free form to fill on a computer (French islands in the Caribbean ) or a 1 hours + painful process ending up costing 100$+ in other island (Antigua or BVI for example)

Hi, I see you have 3 reef lines in this rather small boat and mainsail. Do you think it is necessary, did you use it? Thx
@horstlauch4535 ай бұрын
I habe only two reefs. I am in the 2nd reef above 20+knt. Above that I dont want to be in the water anymore with a small boat like that. If you get nailed with more, a third "little handkerchief" out might be nice to keep the boat balanced having the tourmentine up in front.
@TheSailingFrenchman4 ай бұрын
If you go offshore, I think it is mandatory to have it Look at episode #20, in more than 30/35kts of wind, it's good to keep the boat moving without stressing the equipment too much
