Didn't Minke look grand with her sails full of wind. You must be immensely proud of yourselves for getting her to this stage
Just seeing the guest crew not once questioning the sea worthiness of Minke speaks volumes on how far you have progressed from when you first started this project. Looking forward to next week.
So happy to see the puppy wearing a harness and line secured to the cat while under sail. He has turned out to be a great little fellow. He sure does love you both. You are doing a fabulous job with the boat.♡
Minke is showing you it truly is worth the effort to fix er up the best you can. Minke looks so good all stretched out sails flying in the wind like the beautiful cat she was made to be. With your dingy swinging in the breeze from those new davits. And Yoshi keeping watch over Minke and you all. He is so proud and happy to be your salty sailing dog! May you and your friends enjoy a lovely trip.
Hooray You made it out to Sea!!! You will always treasure Kat & Pete for the beginning of your exciting future! Love all the comments, looks like all of us are rooting for you three!!!
Pete and Kat... what a superb couple. Good to see Yoshi being a good boi
And for the Amazing Engine rebuild from your Father and your Mom's help in making your Minke look nice!! All helping to make your Dreams come true!!
Minke is really beautiful under sail!
Minkie looks damn good in those drone shots under full sail
im glad you've got experienced friends aboard.
The scenery is stunning remember your looking at the top of an ancient mountain that stood in the middle a salt desert deeper than the Danikil depression till the Atlantic broke in and filled the Med.
I love it how your guests beat the speed out of your good old catamaran and how they enjoy the speed! 😀👍
They're crazy
@@WildlingSailing
Surely not crazy but Kat showed you Minke has good bones and is highly capable !
Does'nt it give you both much more condidence in it !? 🤗
As soon as the sails go up it is good to want the best performance out of her. A few tweaks can often add a knot or so. 30 miles at 5 knots is 6 hours and 30 miles at 6 knots is five hours. an hour extra for sundown with a glass of red. Magic.
What a fabulous sailboat Minke is becoming once again, & the Dinghy is on the Davits! Great vid, thanks!
Nice goin m8s, geez Minke looks better and better inside, out, and undersail. Thanks, you and yours stay safe and well.
Your dog is the icing on the cake
Minke's looking really great with her sails up and full. Great video thoroughly enjoyed. Well done to you both 👏 👍
You two (plus one) are living the life you deserve. A lot of hard work but then great sailing, wonderful friends and the saltiest little sailing dog. So happy for you. 😎
Absolutely Fabulous…sailing , motoring, crewing,skippering, ships dog, anchorage’s,…Drone Footage !!! Great images of majestic Minke flying happily along that picturesque coast. Enjoy Wildlings enjoy.
Nice underway drone work. Minke looks amazing with all her sails up!
No, "it" never ends. If Minke was a 50 year old home you would be having about the same amount of work to maintain it. Nice sailing!, Minke is looking GOOD!
Haha, it certainly never ends, but were almost on top of it
It looks like that trip was an excellent Shake Down run for Minke !!
You guys look so happy and Minke looks great under full sail. So glad to see you back underway 🤗
Beautiful coastal sailing and great takes from the drone. Definitely always learn from other’s experience, trimming sails pays off.
Cheers, Edgar!
Minke looking very majestic in those drone shots
GREAT VIDEO , AS USUALL., AND YOSHI IS FANTASTIC .
Nice to see yoshi a bit more settled, its like he came in to that state of mind we all do when you shut the engine of and there's just the sound of wind, waves and ship, so comforting and calming♡♡♡
Yeah, hes become used to it very quickly
I will say it again "Warped prop" from that knock before you had it? Maybe... nice to see you getting your money's worth from Minke she looked as good as anything else at that last mooring... she has lovely lines
The boat was in her element, Kat and Pete are a super couple. Loved Joshi doing his yoga at the beginning, he is such a lovely chap. So glad to see you guys sailing now and enjoying all your hard work. Stay safe. Andy UK
Great Sail by you all, Minke was flat out getting it✌️✌️✌️
wide angle lens can bend things too
I am impressed at how chilled Yoshi is on the boat now. He really seems so relaxed. Nice to see him enjoying the security of loving carers.
Looks great under sail from the drone.
From the boat graveyard to being back in her element! Classy while still a little bit sassy what with the work still to be done. Great episode and it made this landlocked lubber yearn for the open seas---and in a cat, no less! Loved the stability of the dual hulls but the noise of the rigging would have me diving overboard after not too long 🙂 Just kidding---what do I know from what's normal and what's something to be concerned about? The thumping of the port shaft or whatever; now there's a thing to look into (and I am sure you're going to after a day of chill-down). Fair winds!
True sailors take any opportunity to get out on the water!!! Good for you surprising the pros on this old cat's ability to sail to windward.
Minkie's looking so good! Great sailing! Good luck for whatever comes next!
It was wonderful to see Minke sailing - I’m very impressed.
Great video . Good to have experienced folks on board to share life, knowledge, and experiences and to learn from. Lovely scenery and sailing shots. Go minke go!
Didn't think she'd sail that close to the wind, that is very impressive. Minke is definitely perfect for your needs, all your hard work is paying off. Well done!
Well,look how beautiful Minke looks stretched out in the wind an following sea's!! This episode made me feel as if I were sailing with you all!! Your friends are amazing sailors an teacher's.Guy's how much of a blessing is it that Minke is brought back to sleek an fast sailing Cat!
This has been just amazing watching this trip thru your eyes ! An Yoshi's just adjusting to his new life as a sea dog ... Like a Champ 🏆... The interior of Minks is AMAZING!!! I must say how much has changed with all the hard work an love that you 2 an your family an friends have put lovingly in!!!This has been exciting! Could not have asked for better ppl to learn from so kind..
Ok enough of my waffling on as Mark wud say😁!! I love the Moxie you all have! Can't wait for your Mum an Dad to be on Minke in such a beautiful place!! Naviana An Mark your both really are inspiring to me. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. Very grateful! Fare winds an following sea's ✌🏼💗😊❣️ 🥰
Really enjoy the weekly updates,every week it gets better,
Great to see everything working as it should Minki looks great under sail and the motor is working great! Amazing transformation!
So happy for you guys! Thank you for taking me with you! Rolfie
What a beautiful sail. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Enjoy Mallorca :)
5:45 Gorgeous anchorage. ❤👍👌
You both did a great job, you brought the catamaran back to life. I have been following you for a very long time and I love your way of life and I love that you can now enjoy the harvest of your hard work. I wish you always a hand's breadth of water under your keel always a safe journey and greetings from Germany 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Cat (Kat?) is a bloody good helmswoman! And so good to see Pete checking rig tension when you got into the heavier puff. Such common sense crew work, on passage, for many of us but the discipline of it ensure rigs stay up and you reach your next anchorage in one piece. They're a pleasure to watch on deck.
That drone footage of Minke under sail was stunning.
Thanks for posting and sharing. Really nice to see Minke under sail. Good to see how well Yoshi has adjusted to life aboard.
Wow what a change when you have the wind on your side and having the engine in your back pocket its looks like your having a lot of fun. Smiles all around enjoy and stay safe.
Excellent, your vessel looks so nice full sail. Great video...wonderful people, couldn't be better. You guys deserve to have fun, for all your hard work is sure paying off. Take care and be safe. 😎🐕👍
Always a good day when you can learn something new. Especially with sailing a cat upwind.
When you were showing the starboard motor, it seemed I could see a little side to side with the lines. I think you may be right about a possible loose mount.
Well done both, it’s really nice to see you enjoying your boat after all the work you have done.
Minke is beautiful under sail and, she sails very well.
Hooray!
Watching in Dallas Tx. Thank you for such awesome videos. I’ve watched each episode several times since you left the UK. As an expat from Christchurch Harbour I long to be sailing again and miss the coastal adventures that you bring to life for me. You guys have learned so much and taught us so much about life. Keep up the good work and glad to see you happy again after the troublesome refit. Good Job !!!
Thanks, Nigel, so glad you enjoy the vids and they bring you some vicarious fun 😁
Wonderful video! Minki is full of pep, Yoshi is getting his sea legs (happy to see him tethered), Nadiyana is the best sailing partner anyone could ever hope to have, your friends confirmed that Minki is solid and sea-worthy, and you are just in heaven!
That's just badass!! And having the boat lookn dam good and everything working!! props to the both of you and family! Beautiful place you at!!!
Cheers mate!
Love the drone work. Hope the noise is nothing serious. Be safe out there you two
Hi Mark. Think about putting a gybe preventer ( vang) on your main boom), when broad reaching or in heavy swell, it helps prevent wear and tear on your mast and gooseneck and also the relentless banging. You should run it from the end of the boom to the bows but I use mine in the middle of the boom and attach it to the centre clear. I leave the rope in place on the boom and just release it when tacking/gybjng. A very big safety feature as well.
Well done, getting that beautiful boat back under sail, and the motor.... Well done mate. Now for some noise isolation. :)
We are always entertained by your struggles. So nice to see you up and sailing, Thank you for allowing us in to a moment of your lives.
So fun, thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Now that is some real sailing!!!
Minkie looks good under Full Sail,
Wonderful drone shots.
Thanks
Woah! Thanks, Chris 😁
Everything that needs to said has been said by the good people in the comments below. I'm so glad to see you guys having fun. That's all that matters, right? Seeing Yoshi's Yoga, very nice. Another wonderful video btw.
All your hard work is coming to fruition. Well done and live the dream x
I’m excited about your parents coming for a visit too! I hope you’re both proud of Minke, and yourselves, you should be, she looks like a different boat now and under sail she looks “Elegant and Graceful”, what a amazing job! By the way, GREAT HAIRCUT!
@20:00 - 20:06 you can see the hydraulic motor shaking left and right as it's being turned by the prop, looks like you'll need to tighten that up, maybe fill the bolt holes with epoxy and re-drill them so the holes don't have as much play.
Looking forward to seeing Nadiyana's parents have some time aboard, hope they are well and safe 🤞🏻 (hope not in Shanghai or Beijing), Not sure when they'll be able to visit you, hopefully soon.
I´m glad you didn´t lose your drone on a dare. I was thinking pretty much precisely what you you said 30 seconds later. Don´t lose the RF connection!
It´s a wonder life Mark...or maybe just "Life is Good" i.e. LG.
Those guests of yours are the real deal, top work!
Brilliant so glad to see you back out enjoying it
Wow . Now we're sailing !
Love how nothing seems to phase you. Great attitude.
Looks like a wonderful time and great winds!
amazing boat. This was a pile of trash just a few months ago. Now it is looking great, and has a reliable Diesel :)
It’s so nice to see the progress you’ve both made with the boat. I had my doubts when you first showed it to us. Congratulations on all the improvements you’ve accomplished. Good sailing.
Congratulations! Your sailboat now sails like a proper sailboat.
well done that man , minkie is looking good , tight sails skipper .
Great to see your really sailing. Things always break, it’s part off beauty of sailing.
Hi ,both it's good to see Minke looking so good , you've done a great job on her credit to you both wishing you all the best in your travels ,nice to see Mum and dad on the cat with you,ps my wife says thanks for losing the facial hair .
Regards from Hereford UK.
Wow! Really 3 to see some real sailing. It's amazing when you get caught in a blow, it's scary and you become very alert to what is going on around you. You can't switch off day or night. The drawn footage was great! See her from off. The visual was beautiful.
Glad you are back sailing again 🙂
Thank you (your) Dad!!!!! And Mom!!
Cool😎...great to see you sailing ..!
Minke is sailing well, you always learn off other people, no matter how many people you have on board, you can always take advantage of other peoples experience.
Considering you two have never been on a sailing course of any discription and have no sailing qualifications I think you two are FANTASTIC. Keep on what you
are doing and keep the blogs comming YEAH
Loved the video, awesome to see you getting some good sailing in..
Totally in love with Kat & Pete! I think they would get along with the parents well. I only request more piano and Chinese proverbs...and when do we get an updated chopping board? It's been a while. Cheers
Thank you for this video. Nice to see you are doing so good. Will we ever see you here in Greece? I hope so. You are welcome whenever it will be. Already waiting for next video.
We hope so, if we get the winds there, which I'm sure we will do
Yeap, you should try to reduce the engine noise, start with removing the radiator and fan and install a water heat exchanger for the oil, then you can close that radiator hole, and properly insulate the box, make sure that you install a temperature sender for the heat exchanger.
Nice sailing I enjoyed the video, regards to the whole crew for this passage.
The Wildings Cat is nice but your crew Kat is amazing, she rocks on the helm!! Pete's a lucky man. Have fun!!
The drone footage is incredible!
Wow..Minky looks so cool sailing fast,, She is a real beauty,, I love your cat,, oh. OH, and of course you 3 ...!!
Really enjoyable film, many thanks.
Looking good under full sail...
Looking ship shape now, well done!
AHOY ! What a super rock formation that was, with the hole through. I could spend a day just looking at that. Fabulous video ! Thanks. Oh... that vibration on the port? motor.... 'Could just be the prop turning. If it is, and you can stop it, it will reduce drag a little, surprisingly. Otherwise... I don't know what it is. Just look at Minke.... only one year ago.... still in Port St. Louis, with work going on. Now... a lot sorted out. Fresh down below, that awful steel tank out of the bow, engine fixed, rig all in use.... Well done Wildlings !
Cheers Justin! It was so nice. We could have stayed there a while. Yeah, the props do turn, but they don't usually make that badum badum noise! I always thought that letting them spin gave you less drag, but I'm sure if I engage the hydraulic motors they should stop
What a beautiful picture of the boat under full sails. Lovely day for you. 👀🤠⛵️
The boat is looking good and having experienced sailors onboard is a great way to learn.
For your hydraulic motor, you may want to check the cutless bearing (it does have one), if it's worn it'll start making a bit of noise. See if the prop can be moved around when you're down there, anything over a few mm means replacing them - which is a haulout event, unfortunately :/ And never mind that, 20:00 in the video (missed it) it's actually shaking around, tighten it up and it should be fine. Maybe worth taking the motors off and epoxying up the holes, and add a nice beefy metal backing plate too. But damn... does Minke look sexy under full sail! :D
minke looked like a new boat under sail and the interior makes it homely, well done to you both.
I waited a long time to see MINKE in full wind!!! Great job!
Dear Nadiyana and Mark,
It looks like Minky is sailing extremely well plus the engine runs perfect now. The only thing we advise you to do is to repair the cracks near the rudder. We have seen that this also can be done when the boat.is in the water with tec 7 sealant what easy can be ordered with EBay but it’s meant to be a temporary repair so finally Minky should be lifted out of the water to make a permanent repair. We wish you both a good journey and all the happiness of the world plus we send you ❤️ from the Netherlands.
Best regards,
Willeke and Dick de Graaff
I do love that little pink 'High Performance Research & Development' dinghy safely hanging from those awesome steel davits guys! Minke rocks! Proper shakedown sail too, and very wise to take Pete & Kat with you... proper mates! The summer begins and you guys are 'cracking it' in the Med at last! Brilliant! Those drone clips are also excellent Mark! Definitely time to get on with your spearfishing now though! Nothing like bringing dinner home! Does take a while to work it all out but stick to 'rock-hopping' for now which means just finning around the coastline in all the gullies and coves and seeing what is there! Slow and quite is key!
You are looking for Sea Bass, Bream, Dentex, Bonito and even Hake perhaps! The Med has been overfished so don't expect miracles! Just stick to the silver coloured fish (predators) and you won't go too wrong! Do make sure you know the protected fish like Grouper and Bluefin Tuna though Mark! Rod and line is not selective but spearfishing definitely is. Much luck!
Love watching you enjoying the fruits of your labor
