Who wants longer vids from these boys...
Half hour vids?
Makes my Sunday evenings watching you guys.
Best sailing channel on TH-cam. & you’re not trying to sell me a green drink or a VPN.
⛵️🧀😎
Best on TH-cam hey 😎, we are blushing now 🤭 no silly advertisements on this channel
How many people can claim to have stood in the middle of the Pacific ocean and ate hand made cheese you happened to make when you popped to NZ ! Beautiful!!!👍❤️👍
No one apart from the sailing Brothers 😁
"and I draw on some paper!" excellent :) you're off to a good start!
Thank you so much 😀 🤣🤣
I always tell people it’s one of the best channels on TH-cam now I can tell them you walk on water.
I guess that makes us Jesus 😭😭
Marvelous! The reef...standing there, in the middle of nowhere. I really felt like I was there. I could taste the cheese in my mouth.
Such a magical place especially with your favorite food 🧀
Yes longer vids boys, don't worry about editing too much you don't even have to give us much commentary your ocean sailing, your photography and your fine yacht will give us great watching.
Deal! 😁🤝
0:23 Those were some pretty straight lines for a wino 👀
Time to market “The Sailing Brotha’s Cheeze” let’s geauxxx!!
We should make our own cheese 🧀🤝
Your captivating journey in 'We Sailed To The Most Isolated Place On Earth / Sailing To Fiji' is incredibly inspiring. Your storytelling prowess and the breathtaking visuals truly transport viewers into the heart of your adventure. Your passion for exploration and discovery shines brightly
And I am Floating Village Life
Wow, thank you! We are very passionate about adventure in this beautiful the world 🌎
You live in a floating village 😲😀
Oh wow what a sacred place how majestic you both are in heaven right now! Amazing!
One of the best places on Earth 🌍
Brilliant as always. The Minerva reef looks amazing but it scares me . All the best xx
Such an incredible place 😍
awesome boys
🙏 cheers Simon
great video Lads looks like fun KRO keep the videos comming great entertainment
Thanks, will do David 😃
Wow! Homemade cheese and downwind sailing. Gotta love it all 🤗
The best! 😁
Hi guys, just want to give you a big shoutout. My dad is currently battling lung cancer and he is stuck in bed. He’s watches all of you videos and I think they really help him take his mind off of things and pass the time, he loves the vibe and honesty of the videos! If there’s anyway you guys could give him a shoutout in one of the videos soon? His name is Neil. Absolutely understand if not but always worth an ask! Safe travels guys!
Send us an email luke.martin1000123@gmail.com
Wow that Reef was fascinating. I never knew there were places like that in the middle of the ocean . Great video lads xx
We never knew either until we started cruising ⛵
Our family enjoys your sailing vids so much can’t wait for the next one ! I love watching what meals you’re making out there 😅 hope you made it to Fiji safe 🙏🏻
Awesome! Thank you! 🙏
You'll have to wait until the next episode 😁
@@TheSailingBrothers we can’t wait 😀🩵
So our tip for stopping the rolling when goose winging is to also put your stay sail up but have it sheeted in as tight as possible, this then forms a damping effect for the rolling. A bit late for this trip but maybe in the future
That's a great idea! Thank you very much 🙏
Now you're getting on my Minerva!!!
🤣🤣
What a terrific episode, the Reef was amazing and a block of Cheese too!
We could live on the reefs eating cheese 🧀😁
@@TheSailingBrothers That would be Awesome! 😃
Wow Sailor great episode and what an experience,
It's the last time we will ever step foot there 😭
Amazing sailing and delicious home made cheese. You guys really are living the dream.
Cheese and reef 😁🧀
@@TheSailingBrothers sailing the seven cheese
Yea you got the cheese!!
Planing hulls go downwind with the zig-zag method, and a big sail up front, because they more than make up for the extra distance by being able to plane on a broad reach. As you noted, this is not the case for a displacement hull like yours.
Keep up the good videos, I personally appreciate the compact format better than longer videos!
😎
This is what a couple of people have said too. I think we will stick with going directly downwind less we win the lottery and buy a modern flat bottom boat ⛵
Super cool what a adventure I am doing this as I have all the time in the world.
Now
No time like the present Peter
It’s amazing to think you can walk in the middle of the pacific. Knowing it’s thousands of feet deep all around you. Looking forward to you getting to Fiji. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It really is one of those magical places 😍
It's a great sailing technique works great!
Yes it does!
Great episode chaps. I did wonder about that cheese you made in kiwi land. Delicious 😋 !! love it !!
It was absolutely delicious and what a treat to have it in an amazing place 😜
Hello, Good Evening
They have really done an excellent job.
Iwas recognizing the Minerva South reef a little in the nautical chart, this reef is prettier than its northern brother.
Anyway, as always I wish you good fortune and good enjoyment. Shout out to the British Mad & Mad Brothers, they deserve it.
Good Luck. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you skipper ⛵, the south reef is prettier than the North however it is bumpier at high water
Well there goes my input!!!
👍
Fantastic episode made my day love you guys ❤❤
Thank you so much 🙏
Awesome
😃
Another great video. Looking at the chart and seeing you both standing on the reef really illustrates that you are on your own out there and a long way from help. Safe sailing - I bet you are enjoying Fiji. Went there many years ago and loved it.
It's such an incredible place very Baron incredible place. Fiji is also incredible 😍
Delicious!❤😂🎉😢😮😅😅😅
😋
Terrific sail💕
⛵👊
Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!
at timestamp 18:00, I noted that your reefing lines were run under the boom. Since you now have a loose-footed main, you should run those lines around the foot of the main above the boom to prevent the sail possibly being torn at the reefing eyes. Cheers!
Thanks for the advice Neil 👍👍
Look up VMG, velocity made good for downwind sailing 👍As you drew on the paper. Specially in light winds.
I will check it out thanks 👍
Well done guys.
Great video.
Thanks so much!
Wow Luke, Bob Ross would be proud of your amazing drawing skills! Adam.... well my friend.... uuuhhhh.... you do good things too. I know sometimes learning new skills can be difficult and learning to dress one's self isn't the easiest thing but you'll get it sorted! 👍
Pssst, Luke, it's probably not the best thing to let'm try to use the knives. Just saying... 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I agree
Another great vid, guys.
Thanks again!
Once again a great episode. Thanks guys.
No problem John 😀
Good going guys. Thanks for another great video! Stay safe from the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦
As always thank you Lloyd 🙏
I hope you get a lazy bag, so much easier, that sail would drop well into one with the full battens. Get one with a flap to cover the zip, they perish in the sun, mine just did.
We are certainly thinking about it ☺️
Wow not many can say they walked on Minerva reef , well done lads! Glad you enjoyed your cheese
It really is a once in the lifetime opportunity we are very lucky 🙏
Another nail bitting climax video. Best scene was Luke the Duke saying I'm not staying in the water long then jumps in first only to have beloved little brother jump in afterwards. Great drama I was on the edge of my seat thinking Adam was going to be eaten. Great job boys thanks for another great video- rick
We thought we were going to get eaten by shark straight away 😂😂😂😂, lots of hungry sharks around their Rick
A long keeled hull like yours will be more comfortable downwind than a fin keeled yacht so the choice is more depended on design. Surfing a pocket maxi on the way back from Hobart we were lock to lock on every wave, 20 mins on wheel maximum and you’re stuffed.
That's very interesting 🤔, it turned out we were faster going downwind and more steady with our older boat
Another inspiring video! Thanks, guys. Video rolling, a Murghy infested shirt donning, and Adam just goes with it. You guys are real! Love the humor, the light heartedness, and the adventure we get experience with you.
Sail onward!!!
Thanks Scott 😁, real sailing real life, and a bit of craziness thrown in 😂😂
I'm undecided whether Minerva would be a haven or an utterly frightening place during a Cyclone or whatever they're called. Imagine the breakers
There would be no survival in a cyclone there. It floods at high tide to make it uncomfortable as it is
I knew you were going to say "delicious" when you ate that cheese :)
Well done to the both of you . Another good one x
So good! Delicious 🤤
Thank you Joannar 😁
Great update, well done lads. Re the bags. Could be that if you didn't try to remove all the air when you filled them in NZ, before putting the cap on, the air in the bag will have expanded as you moved North to a warmer climate. Expanded and popped the seams. Haven't looked to see if this has been covered by others comments.
Never thought of that Graham but you may be onto something there 🤔
Another great video Amigos!
Fantastic video as always even more jealous now watching you as my sailing boat isn’t ready yet. Adam what are you like putting your top on. Safe sailing steve
You will get there Steve, do a bit everyday and you'll get there 😁
Your opening comments remind me of top gear, coming up..... cheers!
That's good I guess 😊
I think you should superimpose the British Isles on each of your descriptive maps/charts, I believe your viewers and myself would find it helpful generally.
Can you start for the around Britain series?
Good stuff
😁
International men of mystery. Sailors, adventures and cheese makers... It doesn't get any better...
Nothing better than cheese and Sailing 😜
❤❤❤❤
the reef super cool, where did the brothers love of cheese develop? you guys seemed equally stoked about the reef and the cheese! lol
We blame our parents for the cheese addiction 😭😂😂
Okay, just want to pause and let you know how much I am looking forward to seeing you draw on some paper.
It was the highlight of the video 🤣🤣
Another fantastic video ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
I’m sure you have tried it, to stop / reduce the rolling when you are running, have you tried setting the staysail but make it off in the centre with both sheets
We will definitely give it a go Richard 😄
Still laughing about the last scene with Adam being stuck in the arm part of his t-shirt! Comedy-Gold :D The south Minerva Reef looks really pretty and you guys apparently had a blast walking around. Good passage to Fiji - can't wait to see more :))
I just couldn't get my t-shirt on 🤣😂
The south reef is so good like being on the moon
30 fps dont half make a differance to the quality guys 😀
Good or bad?
@@TheSailingBrothers Better, the water looks much wetter 😃
Brilliant video :)
Many thanks!
Thought you were about to be swept off that reef for a second 🥴. I think you may actually be up for the quickest entry and exit in shark 🦈 infested waters award 😂😂. Another cracking watch.
We wouldn't have lasted long been washed off the reef shark food 🥑 😁😁
Good morning 🌄 taxi Fiji
Good morning!
House business?
Whenever you have your t towelss drying on Atlas they always remind me when we was in Talacre North Wales, we was on holiday and I went to the site shop to get a couple they are exactly the same as yours, when I got back I said to the Mrs I have got some Boyo towels, a couple of days later the Mrs went to the shop to get a couple more, she asked the chap in the shop for a couple of Boyo towels, the chap said what you on about, she explained I had bought a couple a few days before and said I told her they was Boyo towels, he said is he a prat the wife said yes, he did laugh when I explained to him, but them T towels on Atlas always remind me of our visit to North Wales.
😂😂😂😂 thanks for the story 😁
It may be more comfortable, however it's gybe, gybe, gybe. Some sailors don't like gybing, especially if they have a big genoa! Bill
We don't mind a gybe Bill 😎
How’s the current to get inside the atol, how critical did you have to time your entrance with the tide? Yes, besides having a great time enjoying the excellent footage of you two, I’m trying to learn a bit as well! Have a delicious time, guys! 🧀🧀
It wasn't critical to get the tide going in, not much tide flow to be honest no problem 🙂
I really hope people don't litter, apart from the odd boat but hopefully not intentional 😅
Oh never 😎
Don't know why, but I found you standing on the reef with those waves rolling in really unnerving. Amazing place though, strange it seemed devoid of life, plant or other.
We were scared of something bad happening and getting washed out to sea. There is nothing there to sustain life
I think tacking downwind works well in lighter winds or in modern boats with planing hulls and smaller headsails. Also pity the poor buggers who ran into that reef centuries ago and ended up knee deep.... alive, but not for long 😢
It didn't really work for us being a older yacht design I guess. We have two head sales for flying downwind anyway. These reefs can be very dangerous 😱
Dead right about sailing on a broad reach and gybing. It’s faster and more comfortable. You should have stuck with it. Maybe not all boats act the same way.
We worked it out and it would have been but extra 100 miles or so so we decided to head directly downwind. Maybe if we had a faster more modern yacht ⛵
Amazing video of the water at the reefs. I have a question. What microphone do you use cos you don't get anything like the wind noise I get. Cheers and Happy Sailing from the Valleys but at the moment in Ireland in my motorhome. Michael
We use wind Slayer on the GoPros Michael. You can get them on eBay or Amazon. Hope you're having a great time in the motorhome 😁
Wondering how the new sails are working out ? So much exploring ankle deep water did you find anything under foot .
The new sails absolutely fantastic 😍
Just rocks under foot 🦶
@@TheSailingBrothers Hope you didn't Rock & Roll all night long....ha-ha
Hi,ho m8ts having a blast for life memories wow I'm going to do the pacific thing soon.
You could literally spend your whole life exploring the Pacific
How are you doing on water supplies there? Enough rain?
0 rain, just relying on what we brought 👍
gouda city till fiji high cheese spirits
All this talk of cheese 😁
Ranfurly beer?
Yep 👍
Just a question about your radar up your mast. Like or dislike?
It's ok, doesn't really affect us however a couple of times we have had a haliard wrap around it
How's the shark population there?
Booming
Sorry to disagree but 400 miles at 5 kn rolling is 80 hrs
500 miles at 6.5kn is 76 hrs!
We must have got our sums wrong
My advice is to stay there and don't ever come back.
It wasn't a joke: I was serious. All your gallivanting around the world is pointless unless
you have any true meaning to your life except pure stinking Hedonism.
Stay there and ask yourself what is the reason you are alive.
What purpose do you have except selfishness and pleasing yourself.
I see you have deleted my reply.
why do you have flue symptoms with a stuffed nose so remote?
No I don't. It's sinusitis 😔
@@TheSailingBrothers AH ok i was wondering. Hope you get better.
