Interesting video. Viewers might also like to read the book "Very Willing Griffin" by David Bladget who crossed the Atlantic many years ago in similar sized monohull boat.

I get seasick just by looking at this. 🥴 Well done bro!

Inspiring. I’m preparing for my adventure.

❤ great video. Great experience. Wiuld likd to sail on 6 metres bost from South Africa to Britian. 15 000 km.

Great thanks you ihame look for a boat myself ❤ I hope to meet you one day and thanks Dave 😂

Great thanks you made my day so thanks

You have my ree

You certainly got your work cut out. Good luck 👍

Boats a little old mate for high latitude sailing that’s why she’s for sale

This boat is almost 50 years old. Corten steel hull notwithstanding, no matter how good it might look in the video, it would still need to pass a rigorous and extensive survey by a highly skilled marine surveyor before being taken offshore. Without that, or detailed documentation of an extensive recent refit, no thanks.

Deeply impressed.

kahunas!!

Completamente loco

I thought you would be faster! We have an Amel Super Maramu, 53 foot monohull, fully overloaded for live aboard and in 15 to 20 knots on or in front of the beam we get 8 knots plus. We are delivering a Neel 51 from Gibraltar to Martinique this December

I’M NOT SAYING HE’S NOT GOOD, QUITE THE CONTRARY! IT’S INCREDIBLE THAT HE WAS LEARNING TO SAIL AS HE CROSSED THE ATLANTIC, BUT POSEIDON WAS DEFINITELY ON HIS SIDE. I’VE BEEN SAILING FOR YEARS AND HAVE HAD THE CRAZIEST THINGS OCCUR EVEN WITH THE BEST PLANUNG AND SKILL! JUST THE WEATHER/TIDES ALONE CAN THROW YOU A CURVE.

I thought my balls were big 😂 Congratulations 🎉

Great boat!!

Zip ties and duct tape, you’re all set to go around the world.

That boom is too long.

What are the living accommodations of this boat?

Inspiring. A novice can actually sail a small boat around the world. I thought that was impossible except for experts. I guess you must have had pretty good weather.

Well done

I'd love to be in a position to purchase that beautiful set-up.

did you suffer any sea sickness?

How do you compare sailing and paragliding ?

I have a hurley 700 and the dream to take it over the atlantic. really happy to see another hurley sailer with the same type of keel, really motivates me to take it further!!

Good job,well done.

Ive got a Hunter 490.. which is just over 16ft.. its a VERY small yacht which I would think twice before sailing her across the Minch or Channel.. I'm in 2 minds about his exploit. If you are going to risk your life in this way, and my God he risked his life... then you should follow Frank Dye's approach and take no means of sending for help. Frank made a name for himself crossing Scotland to Faroes and Norway in a 15ft Wayfarer Dinghy 50 years ago. He only took a radio receiver for navigatjon and weather he refused to take a transmitter as he understood that what he was doing was very dangerous and no one should be expected to risk their lives for his hobby. I think the deal has to be that if you are going to pull a stunt like this, you do what Frank did.

I want one.....

what a story well done sir

HI. I love the boat and thought behind the design. Just curious how much a boat like this would cost new / used? I have been shopping for a performance catamaran and have only seen one or two like this in many years.

Can you finance half?

😂. ,🇿🇦🇿🇦. I would build a wee sail boat. As I was deported from Britian after six years in Britain. Back to South Africa. High unemployment rate.trades mam artisan. Unemployed. Sail to Britain 9000 miles. Basic .. Grand parents from Britain mother and father side. Don't drink alcohol and don't take drugs.

Low key bad-ass is the best kind of bad-ass. Love this!

😊 my dream 😊

Wow, I respect your confidence and planning, am 76 year old living in Mississauga Canada, I swim 1.6 km, or 1 mile, every second day, would like to cross with you Atlantic, I will bear all the cost, please let me know if you are interested or connect me with some one you know, a group of 2 or 4 or 6.

anyone knows what atopilot system was used here is it wind wane?

Definitely not enough beer on board 😄😄😄

Rüdiger Nehberg did this three times.

I don't have the balls to do this. Major respect!

Serial systems make more sense and are more efficient, that's why most freight across America is moved by locomotives with serial diesel electric drives. The only advantage of a parallel system is redundancy in the drive system but on a catamaran you already have two motors which is redundancy, do you really need 4? The only issue now is someone making large enough motors for your desires.

Don't get too enamoured about where the boat has gone. That means you need a good surveyor to check it on the hard. If that checks out, it might be worth the money.

Ist das ein deutscher Akzent? Btw. absoluter Respekt für diese Leistung.

Hell yes man!

I would suggest you pick a side eg starboard....go all the way up then all the way back on other side. Pity about the lighting cos it looks like a nice boat......

Squatting Slav spotted at 3:15

The engine compartment was accessible when the engine was replaced, so no wonder it looks good. How about the rest of the bilge under the boards.. Also the interesting drive shaft with a chain, lots of bearings. Can the prop shaft be accessed from inside, e.g. to tighten the stuffing box.? I would also have expexted fixed guardrails and more ventilators.

i would like to know his list of supplies he took with him on his westward to americas. and i love the cradle cooker that is inspiring especially in rough conditions.

If you guys ever need help with passage, I am there. You have me sold on this boat.
