in this video I crack on with some of the many jobs that need doing before Elmer is ready to sail and I also get a sailing lesson in my neighbours identical boat.
I'm only a teenager and a sailing coach at my local club, but I've been sailing for around 5 years now. I love how you are so dedicated and enthusiastic in what you do! Please keep up the videos, however I'd suggest learning how to adjust your sail according to the wind and how to increase your speed. Some Tips: - Get a Wind Indicator - Try hard to get very comfortable on less windy days (Progress onto more windy days) [Not windy = < 15kts] [Mid = < 33kts] [Max = 33+kts] Give your boat a name! and paint it on the side. It's a good thing to get it all registered and potentially insured.
Thanks for the comment. All great advice. I have more videos to come and went sailing a lot with my friend who is a sailing coach which was invaluable. I decided to keep the name Elmer as i think its kind of funny. Thanks again for your advice and I'll do my best to get another video out soon.
This is awesome to see! Inspiring me to get my first boat! It’s been a nerve racking process. But seeing others doing a small vessel first time ownership and loving it makes it easier! Fair winds to you my friend!
I had no real plan other than just buy one cheap and go from there. You are not going to nail it first time and every used and new boat will need some work so my advice is don't go too big and have a plan of where to keep it and how much that is going to cost plus annual maintenance. Time is also something many new buyers forget they will need. Good luck and have fun
Hi Sean I just came across your channel. Well done man, a very brave move. I'm in the process of doing up an Achilles 24 myselfin North Cork. It needed a lot more tlc than your boat! Have you the 2 videos unloaded so far? I'd love to see how you got on and your first sail in her. Best of luck with her
Hey, sorry for the delay. I need to get back making the videos. I have a huge amount of footage and have had amazing sailing experiences along the way so I will try to sit down and make a few more soon
thanks for the message. I have tons of footage and need to make some more. I have trouble focusing but i just realised people more people (and not just my friends and family) are watching so it is motivation enough to make some more. for memories if nothing else
Lovely videos. Looking forward to the next one. I also have a small sailboat with an outboard engine. I love being able to work on it without having to turn upsidedown in a troll hole to fix things. I enjoy seeing what others are doing with their boats and sometimes get good ideas for projects on mine. Cheers S/V Cork~Texas ⛵
Well... I've watched the two first videos... and I'm ready for more. I also started out with a sailboat in the same price range as yours. I had never sailed before. And wanted to see it i could figure it out. I loved it. I loved the boat also, but that ended badly for the boat. I think my videos of my first steps as a sailor is gathered in a playlist on my channel called old stuff. But the videos ar horrible. Gets better in the first season with my new boat. If I may say so my self, I think thay improved further in season 2 (now in progress). The boat is currently up on the hard . Beeing loved and looked after in preparation for season 3 . I have high hopes for season 3 i truly believe that I might be able to actually manage to create a good video next season 🙈. Best regards from Jarle
Amazing, Sean- ur doing an amazing job & I love ur commentaries- a really cool.description- well.done & all the very best to ur amazing idea. Proud of u..
Pity you haven't gone further with this channel. With your personality, editing skills and solo-sailing adventures I think you could have built up a following and made a living from YT. But do what's right for you mate!
Just found your channel. I've got a 23SL as well. Changed up from a Leisure 20. Look forward to seeing your future updates hopefully. Looks like summer is almost here now 👍
When you get out to sea, best have three anchors. Lots of long ropes, if you know any climbers, they pension off perfectly good ropes, so free or nearly so. Don’t make the mistake I did of buying cheap knock-off D Line anchors, I had done before, but the last one would not hold at all! Get a good modern spade type.
Great video. We too have a 23SL which we are now doing up for the new sailing season. If you are not already, you really should join the Leisure owners club as the website has loads of help and support for all those little jobs and where to buy what you need. Looking forward to the next episode.
lots haha. I have had incredible experiences and lots of footage to turn into videos. I lost focus and actuly didn't realise more people were watching and following. I have moved to iceland and am working in a ship yard! crazy how things turn out. I'll try make some more soon
I enjoyed your first two videos and subbed but please cut the background music, it is definitely not needed and at times covering up what you are saying. If you check, some of the sailing channels with the most viewers don't use music in the background.
hehe, not yet but I am still sailing and recording. The frustrating truth is that I have adhd and other stuff going on which is making it hard for me to make more but I am really surprised and pleased to see that people are enjoying the episodes.
I'm literally cripped by ADHD, Used to be an adventurer; Traveled the world for years on a tiny motorcycle. Covid brought my back to my home country, where I'm essentially poverty trapped because my area has very little engaging work. So I completely understand, Keep adventuring why you can.
I assume you either ran out of money or became disenchanted with TH-cam since it's been a year since your last video...at the end of this video I will "unsubscribe " making this a record of the shortest subscription EVER !
