Enjoyed the video and great to see Nikita still sticking with it ? Hope you had a good trip to NZ
@@jeffweston7465 still in NZ! Yeah he’s doing great with the sailing. He will be out again that’s for sure! Thanks Jeff!
In my manor now, Mudeford ❤
@@fat_tommo_goes_boating indeed so!
Usually if the range is in use they have a launch out ordering people to steer clear, if you "invade" thier space. Lulworth Cove is a nice spot to spend a night or few. great video 2x👍
@@dcallan812 indeed they do! I always try my luck a little especially when there is no wind! Thanks for watching!
Where did your glasses come from ??
@@davidrichards-67 think they’re Oakley. Can probably get them in most good shops.
Thanks for taking my mind off of my own wet and cold late fall weather. Hopefully you are filming boat projects at the moment - how soon can you get back on the water in the spring?
@@dansullivan6911 thank you! Easter seems to be about the right time to hit the water again!
Some beautiful spots! Nice to see you enjoying some sunshine and blue sky's.
@@kenoath007 it’s rare to get weather like this so you just have to hit the water!
@3:59, narration suspiciously missing on the late night return from the pub.
@@ebutuoyotwen 😂 think the footage is enough hahah
The eco moorings in Studland are not free any longer, £10 a time but you are supposed to pay online. I also anchor inside the sea grass when I go.
@@fat_tommo_goes_boating voluntary payment I believe but I might be wrong. This was also a little while ago so might have changed again. Yeah just avoid the sea grass!
Hallo, braucht das Getriebe nicht das Gear Lube GL-5 80w 90 ? Ist das GL-4 SAE 90 besser ? Cooles Video danke 🙏
GL4 was what was recommended for me by the engine parts shop. Probably doesn’t matter so much on which you use as most of the time it’s based on the environmental temperature that the engine will be running in.
Hi Alex enjoyed this, and Niki seems much more relaxed on the boat Great scenery. Did you enjoy your time in NZ
@@jeffweston7465 still in nz now having a blast! Nikita had a grand old time on the boat. I’m sure he will be out again soon. Thanks again Jeff!!!
How long do you think the thrustme would last on a single charge? Considering one for our Kayakboat.
@@Maelstrom-Sup-Kayak-Boat-Store they just came out with a booster add on battery but I think it could go for about 30mins no problem but wouldn’t be surprised at an hour if going easy!
Duffman is THRUSTING in the direction of the problem!
Cheers Alex, great video, your editing has got very good since your first videos, keep the UK stuff coming 👍🏻
@@michaelhammond5106 thank you I really appreciate it! Hope I will be getting progressively better overtime!
😁
@@mgrDonosiciel thank you!
Good vudeo as always Alex, that spinnaker is as big as I think you could've gone for Mingulay 😂
@@jackgoresailing I couldn’t resist when doing the measurements for it! Thanks for watching Jack!
@0:45 We really do expect Beans on Toast only in that galley🤪
@@ebutuoyotwen 😂
Amazing sunset.
@@Maelstrom-Sup-Kayak-Boat-Store it was stunning! Thank you!
Thanks for a great video. Looking at the Viko 21 or the TES550. You say the Viko and trailer is around 1.5Tonne, is that correct, I have 1650kg tow capacity, web says mass is 950kg for the boat, not sure if this includes the keel or not, manufactures swap around including it or some times not including it.
@@007floppyboy well you also need to take into account what you put on the boat too. Always get a car with extra rating just to be safe. Best to call boats on wheels to check and make sure.
Do people camp on brownsy island?
@@Maelstrom-Sup-Kayak-Boat-Store unfortunately not as it national trust. Might be able to if you’re cheeky enough.
Loving the sail sock action! How did we fly a spinnaker before they came up with that. Great vid as always. Fair winds.👍
@@davideve6947 yeah I can’t imagine! Thanks for watching!
Wow incredible drone shot of you dosing the asymmetrical
@@marketzensperger5214 I thought I’d try and risk it! Thank you!
Enjoyable video again, thank you. Have you considered taking the inshore East Looe channel into Poole Harbour entrance? It cuts quite distance off when approaching from the East, and allows one to sail right into the entrance.My current boat is far too deep in draft, but I used to enjoy going that way in my previous boat. One can chat to the bathers on Poole Head beach on the way past! Ha!
I have done it once before but the wind for me hasn't been favourable most of the time. Thanks for watching!
Cheers Alex, another thoroughly enjoyable episode of life onboard sweet little Mingulay. It seems that ingenious mast unstepping mechanism presents a few problems when flying the spinnaker but you had it sorted. Love the videography as always. Thanks for taking us along with you and Nikita on this latest adventure. ❤🤟⚓⛵
@@ElectroRiderSN thank you!!! Was a good day out on the water. The mast raising system actually doesn’t get in the way all that much. A lot of the time it makes for good hand holds!
Yes, Alex another fun sail to watch. Also, Niki seems much more comfortable sailing with you. Look forward to the big news 😎😎
@@jeffweston7465 thanks Jeff! He’s definitely getting the hang of it! Especially not being sea sick this time!
That spinnaker makes Mingulay ... fly ! Nice to see
@@DanielTruran it does indeed!!!
@@mgrDonosiciel thank you!!!
Did you do any jibes with the spinnaker? If yes, how did it feel on your trimaran?
@@dansullivan6911 I didn’t on this trip but it feels just fine what I have done it another time. No different to the Genoa really.
Interesting video but the asymmetric sail (not really a spinnaker) flying section in 360 view made me sea sick 😁
@@MartinWoodman it’s definitely a type of spinnaker. It’s a very broad term as there are so many different cuts. Going for the full 4D experience with the sea sickness haha
'S a cruising chute!
I reckon your hat added half a knot😂
@@edwardhazelden6424 0.7 when standing!
Always good music on this channel
@@MartinLockhart thank you!!!
Brownsea island brings back so many memories as I sailed there as a kid with my mum and dad. There was a sign marking the channel just before where you were anchored, that said ‘A Quiet Place’….brilliant!! A very special place to anchor and hike on the island and see the peacocks! Thanks for taking us along! All the best Richard 🇬🇧👍
@@SVZonda thanks Richard! It’s also one of my favourites!
"King of the castle" lol...perfect
@@mikealex99 you’re welcome 😂
Great video, as ever. Impressed with your mast raising mechanism. Your sailing adventures arecruising in its purest form. Look forward to maybe seeing you near the harbour next season, now that we have returned from three years away.
@@christophermay1882 thank you! You should send a message so we can potentially cross paths before I head off on my next really big adventure!
Gorgeous drone footage. On Mingulay, what is the longest amount of days in a row you can go on adventures, and what is the limiting factor (water tank, food, head, etc.)? How many days are you hoping for your next boat?
@@dansullivan6911 thank you! Can go about a week with two people with getting low on water and food. I have done 3 weeks onboard with supply stops. Next boat will be much longer!
😃
@@mgrDonosiciel 😃
Great new video and I also love the sunsets Hope Niki did not get seasick this time 😎😎😎What is the new boat??
@@jeffweston7465 he didn’t which was good! New boat is so good 😁
@@AlexGoesSailing I am betting on another mono hull 😜
@ 😉
Not only the sunset was epic, you were too. A great video. I'm not sure when this was shot, but I'm looking forward to summer 2025.
@@joewilliams5396 thank you!!! This was 2023 😬 last sail of the season. Then onto this summers exploits!!! 2025 will be epic I can tell you that! Get the inside scoop on patreon if you fancy.
wow looks glorious, very jealous!! :)
@@jackgoresailing stunning spot that’s for sure!!!
Nice spot for a curry. 2x👍
@@dcallan812 it was!!!
Nice. I love it when you are in my neck of the woods 😂
@@fat_tommo_goes_boating you need to come out and join me before I head off to distant waters!
@AlexGoesSailing I'm hoping to be out soon, but apparently it's getting colder 🥲
@ it is sadly
Great Video Alex
@@andyjohnson6352 thanks Andy!!!
Interesting pronunciation of Alum Bay! The stress should be on the "a", not the "u". Whilst I'm at it, Μεράκι (Meraki, passion in English) has the stress on the "a" as well, not the "i" at the end. Just me being a terrible pedant ... but I do enjoy your videos, and admire your endeavours enormously.
@@simonworby yeah I’m the worst at pronunciations 😂 glad you enjoy my adventures. Many more to come!!!!
Do they take a cc at the fuel stop?
@@shawnpeterson9953 yeah was an easy stop and cheaper than I thought.
another idiot ,really Alex best you go home and rethink wat you are doing im un subscribing now bu
I have the raymarine element MFD can any name brand GPS antenna example garmin be used w/ raymarine? I want to avoid the seatalk cableing bc my engine/fuel tanks are NMEA2K thanks BTW the way you have it all connected on the blanket makes it easy to visulize compared to stuffed in a closet. good work.
@@steveleston1848 it can but has to communicate. I believe a converter between the two networks is needed and I think that’s the expensive bit. Especially when technically they both communicate the same it’s just a custom connector system that raymarine has. Annoying but what can you do 🤷♂️
That was a nice sail. Flat water and good speed. Nice to see you use the spinnaker. Not that many i see use that sail. At least here in Norway. Cheers
@@hel-gsailing Thank you! I was so happy that I finally got the chance to use it.
Hi Alex, Why did you pick this particular configuration (Raymarine + i70 + Airmar)? THX
@@adrian.agapie it’s a fairly standard setup and communicates on the same network. The i70 allows for additional data to be shown whilst having the plotter free for charts.
Nice vid! Plymouth Sound looking awesome.
It is!!!
Great video, but lifejackets are notable in their absence!
Was a lovely day! Barely enough wind to keep the sails full and lovely flat water!
How long does it take to pack up the boat after coming out the water?
An hour but maybe a little less in a rush.
What is the reasoning behind sailing with just the spinnaker and no mainsail up?
@@luca_sbll just first time sailing with it so wanted to keep it simple!
Nice I thought I saw you :) in Scilly
@@sailingona when did you see me?
😁
@@mgrDonosiciel 😁
