I grew up sailing my dad had me in a car seat before I could walk on the sail boat hiking you do a great job man brings me back to the good days I don’t see my dad much anymore or get to sail with him anymore thanks for the good memories my guy keep it up I plan on watching all your videos me and my dad once sailed from Biloxi Mississippi to Key west loved all the ports we stopped at along the way and being at sea for a week was rough I can’t imagine a whole month or more like you did on the trip to the Caribbean
I think I am falling in love with the sailing lifestyle... Subbed and have been addicted to your vids all week! Please keep them coming! :D Happy sails
Hello, Cool cet aparté dans ta croisière. Je fais aussi de temps en temps des régates mais pas aux Caraïbes, plutôt entre st-Raph et st-trop.... C'est vrai que c'est grisant mais qqes fois aussi pénible si pas assez de vent ou trop de vent et en Méditerranée c'est souvent le cas. Bon job sur le cata. A bientôt pour la suite de tes aventures.... Ciao Jef
Racing is fun -- just a different kind of fun than cruising. I love both. Well, let's see if I still love it after this weekend's Duwamish Head race in low 40s F and rain likely :-/ Wow, 15 knots, that's quite a change from your usual boat speed! Allez! Allez! Vite! Vite!
I can hear the excitement in your voice when talking about racing - when there is wind it is amazing! But I prefer to race on other people's boats ;-) it is a huge investment! And sometimes you just want your mattress!
Yes, when surfing, a boat can go above its maximum hull speed even when not planing, because for example you can go at maximum hull speed in the water, but the water itself is also moving in the same direction as the boat, carrying it along, so the GPS will say you are going at max hull speed + wave water speed, to say it simple
Really enjoying following your adventures. This is a very cool experience for you. Question- where can we get a racing scarf like we see here? Looks like great protection. Bonne chance à St. Martin!🇨🇦
Great drone footage!!! I just discovered your Channel and am looking forward to following you going forward. Congratulations on getting ahead at the start. Impressive! Nice to see a spinnaker flying. That is what I used to do. I loved the foredeck. I have a curiosity question. How come you and your crew are not wearing PFDs? Have you considered what you would do with your spinnaker flying and you have a man overboard situation? That would make a great video by the way. Think about it. In the meantime, all the best from cold and rainy Boston. Jim Andersen, Cat Boat Adventures, Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts
Hum... The sailing frenchman au pays des cheubs, de la vieille retendue de toutes parts et des "hipsters" so swag sous le chromé de leurs Ray Bann.... Chouette expérience, chouette parenthèse, d'autant plus que le gars se réjouit tout de même de retrouver son modeste compagnon et de jouir de filer cinq noeuds, peinard, sous génois seul et le temps qu'on mettra à rejoindre le prochain mouillage.... Il a déjà tout compris le "p'tit gars" et on ne peut que lui souhaiter que cela dure le plus longtemps possible.... Bon vent l'ami, et régale nous encore longtemps de tes expériences à venir!....
One question: Why during the regatta you use a lot of sun UV protection over your face and nose... But you don't use it when cruising on your boat? (I've seen the same on many people). Just curious about that... I would bet the sun is the same, jeje (even you had a dark main sail on the Liquid, so no extra reflection, if reflection was the reason...)
I only sail dinghies, Lasers, but sailing up wind is far better than downwind. The exhilaration from hiking up wind, pumping the sail, feeling the hum as you cruise over the top of the waves is incredible. Maybe it's different for multi-crewed race sailboats?
That is a barber hauler for the jib. You can see it if you watch at 0,25x at 4:55 forward. It is there to get the jib closer to centerline when close hauled.
You're outside of Atlantic hurricane season now but I've always wondered if you have plans if you were to hit a storm or hurricane while out in the ocean in a relatively small boat? No offense, small boats (under 100 feet) are very susceptible to big storms.
Plan is: prepare the boat, batten down hatches, secure everything on deck and below deck, prepare some food, prepare your emergency materials, prepare your storm sails...etc :)
@@TheSailingFrenchman is there any way you can track weather via satellite while at sea? So you could dodge storms? (I know nothing of sailing, just wondering).
Bonjour, just watched your entire series and subscribed, it was amazing, well done and thanks for sharing, you seem so happy doing it. I see a lot of people recommend you start a Patreon, I would advise against it. Patreon would make me feel obligated to produce content and I'd feel pressurised to do so, it would take the fun away for me. You should just list a PayPal so people can make a one off donation to you to thank you for the entertainment if they so choose. Bonne chance Hugo!
@@onetwothreefourfive12345 I mean if you're alone you'd always wear a safety vest and I believe that you can attach yourself to the boat? (I'm not sure about this one to be fair) but there's not much you can do. At best you're near a coast and you can swim there or hope a boat finds you but else you and your boat are dead I think.
@@onetwothreefourfive12345 If you're sailing single-handed you wouldn't spike a kite :p but yes, if you fall overboard and you wouldn't be able to alarm others (using devices like EPIRB, AIS MOB, flares etc) then you'd eventually drown (assuming you can't swim to shore). But even if there's crew onboard and someone noticing you going overboard, in bad weather chances are very slim in returning the boat in time and finding you back as it is difficult lower sails quickly and tracking a swimmer. That's why there is a huge focus on safety in the sailing world.
Like most creators, he does interact if it's a worthy comment, it's a huge time drag making these vids, access to the web is limited off shore. Try offering a compliment or asking an unusual question and see what happens. At least the other fans are interacting with you eh, Irish? New friends are everywhere lol
"I have to work sometimes, if I want to keep this adventure going."
Word. Cheers.
One of our favourite sailing channels ...........so chilled and relaxing to see the Sailing Frenchman doing his thing and living his dream!!!
I grew up sailing my dad had me in a car seat before I could walk on the sail boat hiking you do a great job man brings me back to the good days I don’t see my dad much anymore or get to sail with him anymore thanks for the good memories my guy keep it up I plan on watching all your videos me and my dad once sailed from Biloxi Mississippi to Key west loved all the ports we stopped at along the way and being at sea for a week was rough I can’t imagine a whole month or more like you did on the trip to the Caribbean
I raced in St. Maartens on a different boat vs. Liquid. Thank you for making this video. I very much enjoyed watching.
So in details , sailing the most beautiful life, many thanks to you dear my friend I like it all your videos. Happy sailing.
My favorite channel sailing ⛵ well done
So much adventure ✨
I m enjoying everyday watching all the episodes
Amazing video! a lot of info on it, more of this please!
Super chill... you seem to fit that description well.. love your channel. I like your style.
Excellent footage, as always good content
Super nice... thanks for sharing, it was really interesting. Good winds to you ;)
Sailboat racing is so much fun, I race an Abbott 33 with my dad, Shark 24 and a laser 1 all summer. Cant wait for next season!
Adam Fulton sailing in the Caribbean is a unique experience. Went from Panama in central america to isla taboga(panama) all the way to costa rica.
Wow! Looking like so much fun! Absolutely going to join a regatta some day!
It is man, give it a try if you have a chance
I think you're sparking a new found interest for me in sailing!
Not only my favourite island, but also my favourite place in the world (St Barth). Heaven on earth😎
Great video . Good breakdown of racing. Look forward to next Vlog. Take care and keep the wind behind you.
I think I am falling in love with the sailing lifestyle... Subbed and have been addicted to your vids all week! Please keep them coming! :D Happy sails
You should stop in Puerto rico!!!! You will not regret visiting San Juan! Especially if you stop by on Jan 19 in "Old San Juan"
The way you say "so nice" is like Borat! Haha
Belle expérience cette régate.
Ça doit faire étrange de naviguer à nouveau sur l'écume juste après...

You should visit Trinidad and Tobago , it's very beautiful,, it is the southern most Caribbean country
Looks like a fun time sailing, racing
Super, bonne expérience et du fun !

Did you say you were doing 15 knots downwind? That's amazing!! Must have been exciting! Thanks for showing that.

Anothet great film..Thanks

Have you heard of the Sydney to Hobart race? If so, have you ever thought about doing it?

This is life😍
Sweet intro boss!
Would you ever consider hiking the Annapurna circuit? I did it about a year ago and it was an amazing trek
I actually do, but have a few things to complete before :)
Enfin la nouvelle video 😂😂
French pride! 🇫🇷

Lets get that 58 cat going down wind in 25 knots..yee haaaa

This is incredible. How do I get into sailing? Where do I begin?
Thats a tough question. If you live close to the sea, try to go to the yacht club of the nearest town and ask to join the saturday or sunday regatta
I only sail dinghies, Lasers, but sailing up wind is far better than downwind. The exhilaration from hiking up wind, pumping the sail, feeling the hum as you cruise over the top of the waves is incredible. Maybe it's different for multi-crewed race sailboats?
Can somebody tell me what's the music of 0:15 - 1:12??? Pleaseee, this is so gooood!!!!!
Check the end of the video for song credits, and he usually flashes the name of the song at the beginning of each song.
What's the red purchase system on the cabin top P&S around the 7:00 mark for?
That is a barber hauler for the jib. You can see it if you watch at 0,25x at 4:55 forward. It is there to get the jib closer to centerline when close hauled.
Couldn't have explained it better

Hey can I ask what happens if you fall off and the boat just keeps going?
I believe the crew has to take you back, meaning making a 180 turn and wasting a lot of time
@@eyrthren what if there was no crew though?
