Lovely video and sailboat! Subscribed 😊😊🙂
I love that you mentioned her draft. No one ever does that anymore
Finally! Some people sailing the English South Coast, where I live, rather than some much more tropical destination! This is a much more realistic goal for me and that makes it far more exciting.
Glad you found us! We’re stuck in lockdown currently but we will be back out sailing soon ( I hope! 🤞)
Feel free to share our channel too as it keeps us making videos :)
Nice boat. Thank you for the tour.
great video thanks for taking the time to post.
Thanks!
beautiful
Thanks for your lovely video
I was recommended this. Interesting
very good boat design.
having kids a bit younger your family is an inspiration! I hope I can get mine to enjoy sail trips as they grow up too! (and maybe even the wife;P)
I think the key is don't take them out in a F8 in the first week, that will soon make you a solo sailor!
Wow 👍
It looks like an actual sail boat... Pretty sweet
Bruh
Loving the videos!
Top Ten - many thanks
Top Ten - many thanks
Just purchased a Bavaria 30 same model. I have to wait two weeks before I get it so I love to watch your video and dream about my new boat.
Did you got the delivery of your sailboat yet
Nice boat
Very nice 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
cool sailboat ,very nice.
Thanks!
Rather nice boat! I do get the resounding impression though that's it's not for someone of my stature (6 foot 2)
First that was an excellent tour. Mostly you never see a person on the loo or in a berth to get a real feel for size so great job. I would give that a 4 star as a weekender and a 3 for a couple weeks holiday. It does a lot for it's size. I'm a fan of the old Hans Christian 33 with a completely different layout but you can't compare apples to oranges. Cheers.
Great sailing info. We are a family of 5, just buying our first sailboat. We are new TH-cam friends and just found the Facebook TH-cam sailing channels. I think we are in for a great new community
If you are New to Sailing, a Croatian Sailing Instructor has just done the best introduction to Sailing I've Ever Seen, and it is Free to Watch on his TH-cam Channel - Igor Stropnik - and his video to watch is "How To Sail A Beginners Guide". tbh, imho it's better than the RYA's, and fir learning and getting a good feel for things, starting with, or having a Dunghy Holiday with a 2 SailmDunghy like the one in his video, is a massive help in getting a good foundation. Personally I wasvseveral years in a one Sail Dinghy as a youngster, that my father built, which did help get a feel for the Marine Environment, but The extra learning possible at the same time, just from having that extra Sail , I can only guess at now. I didn't even know about such things as Sail telltales, until a few years later. Its such a good video, it's worth passing around. Just search Igor Stropnik, and look through his videos. Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob. 👍
Nice boat. I'm actually impressed with the forward V Berth. Sensible Height. Ny last boat it was a right struggle to get upmintonthe V Berths, and there was real Danger of falling out. For Toast, you can get cheap stainless toasters that pop on top of a gas burner, though you have to watch out for burned toast. Easy to get in the swing of though. Well done on the size of the House Battery Bank , 👍something handy like plastic bags to greatly reduce the space things like sleeping bags and clothes take up, is Vacuum heavy duty bags. Put stuff in, like bulky Warm Winter Winter gear, sleeping bags etc, and with a hand pump, you extract all the Air. What a difference. I could get all bulky stuff regularly used into seperate vacuum Bags in the V Berth locker, and spare dry sleeping bags and such under a saloon Seat. A Great Boat for where you are based and with a Marina Berth. Years of fun and Adventures ahead. Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob. 👍🙂
I got a office job as well but wanted to pick up sailing hence I am here watching your video. Great video. You got a new sub
Welcome aboard!
That's a good looking boat.
Thanks!
Well - it's more of a practical boat than a good looking one... sorry :)
..what?
Thanks
Astonishingly classy, thought out, and suitable. Please check that the port side batteries are not wired in parallel as a lot of boatyards are stupid to keeping batteries isolated or in series. (6 volt golf cart). A much smaller set is possible if not wired in parallel. A second small solar panel is desired as the essential one can get broken mid-voyage. A spare Hong Kong 12 volt chest fridge is a good addition. The smallest ones give best sub freezing.
What do you mean "we can't really do toast or anything like that." Personally, I use a Stansport Folding Camp Stove Toaster which takes up hardly any room in the cabinet with my plates when not in use but makes toast perfectly up to four slices of bread at a time. You can probably find one in most stores that sell camping gear. If you like toast I highly recommend one.
Good idea!
I subscribed because I like sailing families. Cute family and kids. I almost missed them b/c I was changing to another video when I saw you showing someone else so I came back to the video. Just my opinion, I think you should show more of what you do. I don’t know if it’s just sailing or you do other things too. If you don’t do other things I assume your children aren’t going to be thrilled after a short amount of time. I never see any videos of a gay couple or a family so glad I saw yours, and happen to see the family reveal.
Don’t forget to check out some of our playlists there’s often more footage of all of us on there especially the later ones.
Lockdown has messed with our plans this year but ... We will be back out at sea shortly 🌊
You need to add a large Bimini Top..More shade is vital .
I wish we had the room in the cockpit for a Bimini, would help out with the rain too! But for now we sometimes string a sheet up over the spray hood tied to the back stay to create some shade. No good if the wind is strong though!
Grest boat and great video.
For what price you buy the boat?
Hi Friend, put some flexible solar panels on the Benami it makes sense to have more battery power .
It’s been our list for a while, we currently use a removable one while at anchor but a more permanent one would be great.
It looks nice there, what's the cost of mooring!!! We love your videos.
Maybe I missed, but still: how much does it cost?
Depending on age and condition, you can get a second-hand one for US $45,000 to 65,000. In my opinion, those small Bavaria's give you some of the best boat per dollar on the market.
best to look on Apollo Duck or similar used boat website to get an up to date price on their value.
no water maker?
How much did it cost for the boat ?
Never knew Jon Richardson had a son
lol, I'm not wearing a cardigan yet!
which yacht haven? im at fambridge
Over the last few years I've been wanting to get a yacht more and more, though if I get one it would have to be something a little smaller and less shiny than this which looks very nice. But I also live in the real world working 9 to 5, and wonder how far could I actually go on a weekend out if I went down friday night ready for an early start on Saturday morning, or maybe even heading out friday evening? Closest marina to me would be in\around the Solent, but I just wonder with a full time job how far could I go in a weekend? Or if further down the line with some experience under my belt, if I booked a week or 2 off work would that be enough time do you think to get down to say Lisbon and back? Or would I realistically be looking at port\marina hopping along the south coast? Thanks
It sort of depends on who you have on board and the weather / tide window you have and how long you want to spend sailing vs exploring somewhere new. with the kids and dog on board, I try and break up passages, otherwise its a bit unfair on the kids to sit there for more than 12 hours, and the dog always wants a walk!
I'd sail much further on my own for example, as I'm less worried about anyone on board getting bored, and would happily sail through the night non stop.
Check out our other videos to see where we manage to get to, i would say Lisbon is optimistic, but nothing stopping you exploring the whole of the French northern coast, the channel islands, the isles of scilly, Belgium, or even a sail into Amsterdam!
We did try the scillys the other year but our dog was ill, and also we ended up having lots of headwinds and storms, so it didn't go quite to plan, but we learnt a lot and know how to tackle it better next time, although Covid isn't helping with planning trips right now.
Either way any sailing we do is all experience as I hope to sail further in the future, that's the dream anyway!
@@CactusSailing Thats fair enough being based on lots of variables, and especially for you with kids and a dog I could imagine boredom setting in for all of them. For me it would be mostly solo sailing which might give some extra options, if I was careful with annual leave maybe I could stretch to 3 or 4 weeks off one summer for that Portugal trip, but yes its a good point if I got that far I would want to hang around at least a few days and not just re-supply and head straight back..
When you say Isles of Scilly, is that possible in a weekend do you think, maybe a long bank holiday weekend, or would that be a full week job? Ive watched a few videos from people but it can be difficult to know exactly how long they took or how far they actually went. I'll give some more of your videos a watch also, theres probably a lot more interesting places around the channel
orth sea that are reacheable in a weekend than I realise at the moment, and I guess it can be warm enough up here in the summer, dont necessarily have to get down to Spain and Portugal to enjoy a nice sunny day on the boat.
You've made a good start on that dream, you've got the boat and you're getting out there!
Hi, I am in a similar situation as you. I can only sail over the weekends and its priceless! It's a beautiful feeling to have, knowing you have pesured your dream.
Go for it we only live once!
How much
When I turn 18 in a few year I would love to save up for one of these
Wow, that’s some number of ads! Almost unwatchable. Other than that very good
We dont monetize any ads in the middle of our videos & we have no control of what TH-cam show you while watching our channel. :(
Did you say you keep the liferaft at the bottom of that huge locker. You might want to think that, I mean I hope you never need it, but if you do, it'll be in a hurry, best to have it somewhere it's quickly accessible. Other than that wish you fair winds
DJ Abbt good point, it does live at the top but it’s not the most ideal location, I want it on the rails for exactly the reason you point out.
@@CactusSailing what a refreshing normal mob you have wish you were in my marina dont change thank s for vids stay safe
He's onion from apple and onion
Hi, why not use a diesel heater like webasto or ebersprächer. Much more convenient than usin electriv batteries or gas heaters…
We have an eberspracher diesel heater but.... it takes some battery to run especially starting it, but more importantly it’s quite noisy especially the diesel pump, it’s ok to use during the day but not at night.
If we’re anchored out we usually just wrap up warm!
Have you tried a dog shampoo for "stinky"?
Yes, he smelt great for about a day :) we didn’t mind it, it’s just dogs 🐕.
Basically
that's the space for the head not the feet
Blame the whining on the dog.LOL
Maybe you can give me a hand 🤔🤔🤔 I am looking for sailing course and plan to buy a sailboat next year but ....... Do you know o good place in Portsmouth for the course?? Any suggestion?? Only 5 years speaking English 😕😕🤣🤣
Vagner Uk I can only recommend universal sailing school but they’re based in Southampton at mercury marina, a great company though and where I did a lot of my practical training. I’m sure there are some good ones in Portsmouth too but I never trained with them so I wouldn’t want to comment on them :)
@@CactusSailing great, coincidentally..... sent one email to them and I trying to book a visit over there! 🙂🙂🙂 I just waiting for reply. Maybe I will be there this weekend 🤞🤞🤞🤞. Do you offer charters, lessons or something like that?
I dont sorry, maybe its something i will get into in the future, i do go into some navigation work in my videos (especially some of the new upcoming ones) which you might find useful
@@CactusSailing thanks anyway mate! 👍👍😊😊
She is Bavarşa 30 but she is nıt 30 foot.
Bavaria 30 lenght is about 32 foot ( 9.5 meter)
Shh don’t tell the marinas that!
And while you’re pulling down sails the man overboard drowned or got caught up in current and swept away. Faster to drop the dinghy? I like the idea of sailing but hate the actual sailing. Sailing is all work with little time to relax and enjoy the sea. Always having to adjust sails or put one up or take them down. Then with wind the boat ends up on its side and or throwing people around. I guess people love all that because there are millions of sailboats around the world. Oh nearly forgot the costs! Never ending money pit of broken parts. Blows my mind.
sailing is the most expensive way to get somewhere for free! but that said i'm most happy when out as sea with the sails up!
can you teach me sale.
Buddy put a dead cat on your mic, the wind noise is very bad.
Good looking couple, gorgeous family.
All our newer stuff is filmed with a dead cat microphone, we've also gone got some new cameras for the upcoming season , check out our playlists.
@@CactusSailing that's great.
13:25 Proof that mermaids exist LOL...
And where is the wife?
if you want people to Like your video try answering your viewers comments!
I wish you'd stop saying heads.
It's just the head.
Even on a type 42 destroyer we just said the head.
Basically x ??? Annoying
