UPDATE: Hans told me he is looking for some crew to cross the Atlantic this year. You can send me a message on Instagram @leanderdc for his contact.
Do you have an alternative contact? Seems that account is no longer there.
@@Itssmial_Ova do they ever plan on going to the pacific side on the US west coast?
This must be the coolest boat I've seen
Hans is a legend 🤙
I must know more about this modern explorer
Convicted rapist.@@nonormies2837
Bro, no way this boat cross to the canaries! WOW! Your color grading and post skills are really sick! Can't wait to sea more!
This was an amazing account of an ocean passage on an amazing boat
Great stuff!
Its good for all !Splendid fellow. I took crew 'off the beach' to sail with me from france to thailand. Bit by bit. You sound like the sort of person who would be a good crew. Please teach others .
I love the lazy jacks on the polynisian style sail
A true adventure :) Thanks for sharing
Love it! Keep realising dreams :)
Be Brave and do it! B) epic vid mate! Thanks for sharing / making the vid
Avec plaisir 😄
Nice🎉
at 9.33 you mention the name of the best right hand point breaks...unclear could you repat please?😊
being seasick is not a pleasant feeling
but you get over it
I eat very little the first days out
Sure one of the worst things I've experienced. But you are right, you do get over and you learn how to deal with it better in my opinion. The next trips it wasn't as bad at all. My tip is to lay down and try to nap when you start feeling it, looking at the horizon didn't help at all. Might juts be me though.
zalige video!!
Thx man! ✌🏼
such big boat, waves look so small.
vet man!
Thx man ☀️
Great storytelling. What's the song starting at 8:38 Shazam didn't catch it. Cheers
Wow really nice video :D I am a complete beginner at sailing but the ocean is calling me. The boat looks really cool and I wanted to ask if there is a chance to get in contact with Hans ? Did you contacted him over a website ? :)
Hi, send me a DM on Instagram @leanderdc
Which filming equipment did you use to record this journey?
Sorry for the late reply, a Sony a6000 (standard kit lens & sony 35mm, 1.4 aperture) + DJI mavic pro (first version).
I wish I could do this
hello, do you have recommendations how to find boats who are looking for helpers?
Yes, in my opinion crewbay & findacrew are the best platforms out there. But i you really want to stand out and get something quick, go to the Marina and start chatting with everyone you meet. Be friendly but make your intentions clear, people will help you out to find a boat.
Why did you decide to get off the boat at the canaries ?
Sorry for the late reply, Hans had planned to stay for at least a month longer in the Canaries while I wanted to continue my journey across the Atlantic. If he would've continued I would have stayed on the boat.
Is there another video to come or why did you leave the boat!???
The other video is already out there, at the end of this video there is a link to it, or check my channel. Cheers.
Could you maybe talk about the process of finding the crew over the platform and your previous experience etc
Sorry for the late reply, i looked on findacrew.net and oceancrewlink, but found Hans through Crewbay. I really knew I wanted to be on that boat, so really pushed (in the politest way possible) to get in contact with him. My previous experience at that point was a RYA competent crew & RYA Day Skipper course that I had done a year earlier. There were people on the boat with no experience whatsoever. Hope that answers your question.
how do i get a hold of Hans to do this?
Hi, send me a DM on Instagram @leanderdc
song?
Hi, sorry but which song are you referring to? Give me a time mark.
