- SAILING around the world in a TINY boat! UPDATE!! When Yann Quenet arrived in the Azores earlier this month I contacted him and chatted about his adventures so far and how he feels about almost being finished with his sailing tour around the world in his tiny boat.
A massive thank you to Yann for letting me use this amazing footage of him sailing his tiny Baluchon around the world.
If you would like to follow his adventures and completing his circumnavigation, please check him out on Facebook or on his website.

This guy is incredible!! In a world where our freedoms are slowly being taken or controlled, this guy is free like a bird. This is what life is all about. I could watch videos of this guy all day long n never get bored. Incroyable Mon Amie!! Incroyable!!
Adventures isn’t about the boat! Real guy
Our freedoms are taken? Pure BS, people selling their freedom themselves for more security, convenience and entertainment. And on boats you are MUCH DEPENDENT on weather, health, material and technique.
Yan absolutely embodies the spirit of adventure and human endeavor. A man who wind-surfed around the whole world! Unbelievable!
Can't wait to see this man with new boat ❤
The bird sitting on his head ! It made me think, the that birds can just fly from boat to boat, even in the middle of the ocean. They can often, just glide, and probably can be half a sleep.
Awesome!
THAT'S LIKE TRAVELING THE WORLD ON A SURFBOARD!!! AMAZING!!!
glad he made it. talked to him when he was in tahiti, and a few other times. knows what he is doing, for sure.😎
Nothing says self confidence quite like designing and constructing one's own sailboat, and then sailing it around the world!
The benefits of microcruisers like this are many, and they have proven themselves over the decades as owner/constructors designed and built themselves their own sailboat.
Almost none were professional boat builders or had any previous experience of boat building, this makes their achievements even more admirable!
Some ignorant people make derogatory remarks about these vessels and their owners, but I suspect that there's much jealousy involved, as the microcruiser Captains have singlehandedly sailed tens of thousands of miles or kilometres, or have circumnavigated the globe.
Thank you for setting up this interview, it will be fascinating to see which changes Yann will make in his next build, based on his extensive experience gained in the last three years of sailing around the world.
Yann is hugely inspirational, and people realise that they don't need large, expensive boats to enjoy the pleasure of sailing.
Whilst many may not be able to find or afford a Pacific Seacraft Flicka, a 20' sailboat capable of circumnavigating the globe, they may be able to construct their own microcruiser that is capable of doing the same!
For a Survival or Emergency situation there is a device called Military Speedhooks, these are specifically designed to attract and very quickly and securely hook fish.
The hooks are under spring tension and once sprung, they immediately secure the fish.
These devices are standard in military survival kits, and the more you set, the greater your chances of catching fish.
They may be left unattended.
I can afford a Flicka (fantastic boats and will probably end up with one) but I am currently building a Layden Paradox 14’ sharpie chine runner. Florida to Bahamas shakedown cruise then Mass-England or CA-Hawaii solo by 2028 is my goal!
I will document the voyages on YT!
Just the most amazing but understated man, the world's French ambassador. He's a really wonderful person.
Thank you for this…. It’s marvellous that Yan is now safe home…salute!🥃🎈🍷🍸🥂🍹🍺
Yann is a legend!
I hope Yann spends some time to become a more proficient you-tuber. He could have had the most legendary following on his channel for the last 3 years and not needed to work for the next year!!!!
All the best to him on his next adventure on the 'BIG' 5m yacht.
Yes, we agree!
@@DRIFTINGsailingadventures Hindsight. Probably had enough to do already. I find even trying to document local small boat adventures changes my enjoyment of them dramatically. All of a sudden you';re a 543654 cameraperason and documentary maker and it steals some of the joy from the adventure.
Well, I think that Yan is a character that deliberately got away from the mad world that we live in, where I wouldn't be surprised that he doesn't give a rat's ass for a thing called TH-cam.......And damn right he is !
One could only wish to a little bit like Yan.......living the dreams you once had.....
4m, same boat with some modifications is what ended up happing Ulbre, just in case you didn't know 👍
Such an incredible person.
I could type a lot, but Chapeau!
This guys is so cool. He makes me happy.
Some rich people should support this guy. Chapeau!
Yan, your are amazing! Bravo sir !!!
Jan, crezzy mon. Such a delightful story. Il a courage de trop. Bonne chance, Capitan. You da MAN!!!
Thanks for getting this story into our hands.
I really admire this bloke but a little boat like that - forget it. Congratulations to him. Great video thank you
Totally agree! He’s back in France, home safe and sound…
A very very big 5 meters of boat :) This guy is incredible. You made my day, thanks.
A very very big boat of 5 meters , this guy is brilliant and brave and so much more
What a guy, just an amazing adventure, and what a show of courage and determination. Good luck Yan and well done.
I love it , I would like more .
Congratulations for you mind . Sée you soon again . Pierrick 👍🙏
Thanks for the update. Wow what an adventure, glad he got there
He makes me smile with joy ❤
I was working at a marina on the Canary Islands. A boat came in named Baluchon. I went to the pontoon and surprised me how he came down from this boat. He was like nothing after sailing for days alone on this stuff. I could realise at this moment that he is the sort of person made out of other paste. When you meet him in in person, he is very friendly and peacefull. I wish him the best for his new proyects.
Humble and friendly man… soul of the earth.
Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏻.
With ❤.
good to hear he made it home 👍
I ran onto this video and very interesting. After this i have searched the man on youtube. Well he is now on his 2nd week of making his 5meter boat on youtube. Im now his subscriber "Quenet yann". Thanks for this video.
Fantastic, so glad you’re following Yann! He’s an amazing man.
Such an incredible man.
Many thanks for the update!
What a great character. Good to hear his update. Maybe they can find somewhere in Brittany to exhibit his boat whilst he builds a new one!
Great idea!
Fantastic ❤this interview. What a Great fella x
Thanks for sharing this!
Thank u for bringing wonderful story to us all.
What a great thing this us.
Our pleasure Jason!
This guys so is cool
Amazing story of courage and determination, happy to hear he made home to France. Can't wait to see his mega yacht project......
He’s got a great sense of humour…his 5m super yacht!
Inspiring
Hi guys what a wonderful story what an amazing man someone has tiny boat around the world thanks for the video Cliff love from Logan city Queensland Australia from the largest continent in the world
Thanks Cliff…glad you enjoyed it!
@@DRIFTINGsailingadventures It’s a bit of a shame I didn’t know more about this guy when he started off selling around the world I would love to follow his adventures , Thank you once again for the video it was very good to watch
Fantastic
thank you
wanderful
cool stuff
if you think travelling the world is for the rich only, think of this man
he is king of the sea
I've spent months out at sea.. I can tell you the boat would be a shitshow, the fact that the sea bird has difficulty standing is a good tell tale :-)
Yann has completed his circumnavigation and is already building a new boat and going to sail around the world again… can’t be that bad.
@@DRIFTINGsailingadventures Good for him, I’ve sailed around the World on a small wooden boat too… It is bad 😊 especially on such a small boat!! The motion would be horrific !!
Scary!
"Fish is not very sympathetic" 😂
Loved his comment!
Absolutely love Yann and baluchon. Love to know how he furls around the mast. Does the mast have bearings in its base? Does he only have one line straight to mast to furl?
Hi, sorry for the delay in reply. We’re in Mozambique at the moment. Have you watched the first video of our interview? It shows how he furls his sail just like a gib. Check it out
Hay que ser muy valiente, o muy loco, para hacer la singladura que hizo el Sr, Yan Quenet, salu" viejo lobo de mar,,!!!
Yan’s middle name is Holdmybeer.
Chapeau! Is he now at home?
Safe and sound and already building a new boat!
Whistling so far offshore, aloine, while at the mercy of the elements in a tiny ass sailboat? He's just asking for trouble lol
Give this man a new GoPro and teach him basic mobile editing!!
Where does he get his water?
I can see him doing ok fishing and getting food
Water would be the major problem, and how to store it on such a small boat
Hi limits himself to 1L a day, and that is what he carries.
Jan is a legend, in the spirit of Bernard Moitessier!
Subscribe to his channel but is he going to continue making more videos with his boat? Or did he quit?
No sure Calvin…he did tell us he’s building a new boat..bigger boat..1 m bigger!
So hes good right ✅️ 🤔..hope so .....
Check out Sailing Wave Rover on youtube. He's building a small junk to sail around the world from Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Would you be so kind to share your boat plan because this would be exactly my size 5meters
Hi Andreas We'll stay in touch with Yann and if it happens will share for sure!
There's an American guy building himself a foam/fibreglass sandwich construction micro cruiser and he said that Yann has a complete photographic boat construction collection which is publicly accessible.
I'll dig out the name of the person I'm referring to and post it in this thread so you can see it for yourself.

Wow!! What a great mind escape for day dream fodder, when stuck in traffic later today!!! Could you add the “patron?” Web site address Thanks
Thanks Bruce!

Site is up and running Bruce!
the fish were not sympathetic (very unfriendly) The boat was stronger than the Captain. Haha. 3 years at sea you have to keep a sense of humour...
Flat Bottom at that
His idea of a bigger boat is 5 meters or 15 feet.
Give him more money, so he can make it 27 feet
He can change safe continental crossing rules. Make the localaising systems more trustfully and save life's. Popeye the caracter don't has the correct emtional intelligence kkkk
music over talking ,,, realy ,,, down vote
I sailed solo on a Tahiti ketch 30 in 1983, no internet no bs electronics no phones to call mama I was 23
