"sail boats are, after all, for sailing"
👍
My life is boring. Thanks for the tour and places you take me!
Maybe you should get a boat
I used to be a SV Delos fan, however they have become really boring with their "project" I like the simplicity of what you are trying to achieve. A great little boat and i enjoy your your videos more than the big partying attitude others portray. Stay safe and keep it going. Really informative.
Thanks.
I agree completely... ever since the three ladies came on board Delos it seems like full time silliness and partying. You might also enjoy Free Range Sailing... very similar to our favourite Frenchman.
Agreed indeed
Thanks for the heads up Brent. Sailing Zingaro is interesting if your'e into doing things on a shoe string. Can be random though.
Cheers Camila, such a shame as Delos was good but kind of lost their way.
couldn't agree more..I also tuned off Delos and Vagabonde, either all about partying/beers in hand all time or sponsorships . Check out RAN sailing, very organic, lots of actual sailing/trouble shooting plus stopover excursions, cool chill Swede couple and Follow the Boat is also a good one , UK couple, older but lots of sailing/exploring, humorous and lots of refit/maintenance etc
IM not a boat geek. but i loved every minute of the boat tour. great video!
Great channel! We idiots have to stick together, so I subscribed of course!
This man is so entertaining and informative.
Hi buddy, love your work! One piece of advise: Check the speaker installation, if they're not installed with a proper panel / box behind them they can become quite dangerous. In case a big wave crashes in the cockpit, the membranes rip out and the speakers become essentially big gaping holes.
Wow, never though about this, but yeah, I'll have a look into it, building a box behind shouldn't be too complicated . Thanks :)
Not the first time I’ve heard this...build those WP speaker boxes!
My ketch is 2 meters longer but I watched your details and learned quite a bit. I’ll be adding solar panels soon and upgrading my electronics. I admire your Atlantic crossing and your organization. Good sailing...
A silly thought for you. Get a large flexible hose (wide) and couple it to your snorkel (you can get a cheap plastic fitting with a screw clamp) and then lock the topside of the hose to a couple of feet above the waterline. You can now do some SNUBA and spend time under the bottom of the boat doing repairs (like resetting the propeller and doing zincs and the like).
yeah, I though about this. Someone told me also that with this system it's important to blow the air outside the snorkel, and not inside, otherwise you end up breathing the same CO2 hehe
@@TheSailingFrenchman Oui, il faut un tuba avec sortie d'air à membrane (le plus souvent en bas, face à la bouche, ce qui permet également d'évacuer, eaux de condensation, salive, etc...), sinon, un petit compresseur de gonflage 12V avec un détendeur....
2 tips: Paint your shower bucket black and it will get quite warm. There is plastic black spray paint, no primer needed.
When you coil your halyards, don't wrap the knot over the top, just tuck them between the mast and taught halyard. You will be able to drop a sail faster if necessary.
Brilliant you have the storm jib. Really helpful to keep the nose up in heavy weather. I used one on my 21footer in 40 knots and it was great! Reduce sail early :-)
Lovely boat. I had a Catalina 27 which is a similar size. Damn it could turn on a dime and had incredible handling. Love your configuration. One thing that the Catalina had was shelves under the windows with slide doors. This was great as it gave you extra strorage without stuff flying about. It also covered the wiring looms. Maybe your next woodwork project ?? 😋
Wow! What an amazing progress from the beginning. The detailed reconstruction of the boat and then within weeks ocean sailing. The culmination ( I have not seen all the movies) is around Lanzarote with the tour of the boat. What’s amazing is your stamina. You have brought us amazing drone footage, quite moving commentaries of times that have been very difficult, and with this confidence and acceptance of all that the sea throws at you. Inspirational! Obviously, and amazingly, you always knew you would be able to do this. You knew the boat would be up to the task in braving these huge seas. And what inspires me and perhaps many subscribers is your confidence, your very natural and informative videos together with your highly engaging style. We are following you and wishing you every success and thanks for enriching our lives.
As they say, "the smaller the boat the more fun". Great boat tour!
Great video! I love how you've brought all the lines back to the cockpit and explained how your auto-pilot works. It seems like you outfitted your boat with all the
important tools you see in bigger boats so that everything you need is close by without being cramped. To make an analogy with cooking, it is how a chef might design
a compact kitchen with all the important tools close by yet still providing ample space for cooking and preparing food with no wasted space - except for the lack of enough headroom.. I hope while at anchor, the hatch opens far enough so you can stand while cooking as long as the hatch is open. Otherwise I'd want some way to be able to sit or kneel while cooking. Having to bend my neck would get old quickly.
Have you seen "How to sail oceans"? Like yours, videos from that channel show the owner solo sailing his 30 footer. He has vast experience making ocean passages on his boat. He does it the old fashioned way. In fact his boat has no engine. Watching him maneuver his boat in close quarters in harbors with boats all around under sail or using a sculling oar is a treat.
Absolutely love this little sailing vessel !!!!
The way you mounted your solar panel 10:53 is pretty clever. Will do that, too. Thanks and keep on doing your good videos!
@Amos Groth what are those mounts called? I can't find anything even close to similar anywhere on the internet.
@@IrregularPineapples It’s a standard mast foot of a windsurf mast. Pretty robust, cheap and very useful. The exact term may be different but I am sure you will find it. I am sailing for over 2 years with this construction, no signs of fatigue. They are supposed to hold way more powers anyway…
Sooner or later you will develop neck and back injuries by having to bend over like you do. I can tell you having a curved spine that is now causing my neck to clasp rendering me disabled and in pain is not what you want. Best to up grade as soon as able for your well being. I admire your courage to get out and sail. Thank you for taking us along.
Great video. May I suggest relocating your paper towels. Having them above the stove is a fire hazard.
This is definitely one of my favourite channels. Legend
Love your channel! I used to support Delos but they lost their way and lost my sponsorship in the process. Keep up the great uploads and stay true to who you are as your content is fantastic!
Have you watched “the adventures of Tarka” ??
Ah !! Un EDM, toute ma jeunesse ! Un superbe voilier, une des premières grandes réussites de Finot; de plus, plusieurs EDM ont fait des très grandes nav' dont des tours du monde :-)
It has been a very enjoyable journey to watch all of your hard work on shore, and now sailing the boat and watching you enjoy your labors. I very much align with your maintenance and sailing philosophies. I hope you keep posting videos of your travels.
Les silent blocks de planche à voile pour l'orientation des panneaux solaires : 👍👍👍
Enhorabuena y mucho ánimo con tus travesías!!!!!
Un fuerte abrazo desde Santander.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I've really enjoyed learning about the refit of your boat and how you handle maintenance during your passages. Fairs Winds and Following Seas!
I just discovered your videos. Your work is fantastic on your boat. I am a professional boat builder from a long time ago and am amazed by the young generation now fixing these small boats. Wonderful job. Keep up the good work. I have a few videos myself you can see for some ideas for your boat. Thank you for the videos. PS, I am french also but my french is very bad. Jean Mondeau
Thanks a lot. I just had a look at your videos, really cool, definitely taking some tips :)
Loving your channel, thank you. Great to see the tour of your boat, your mods are awesome. Great idea to use heavier grades of chain nearer the anchor, I must do that as I have a 26 footer with no windlass. Also loved your hybrid instruments that swing from cockpit to saloon.
Lovely boat, so we'll done for all your hard work restoring and improving her and especially for taking the time share it all with us; you are truly an inspiration - Thank you!
Thanks a lot, and maybe see you one day on the water? Fair winds
Mike Floutier je suis comme Mike, reconnaissant pour cette source d'information et inspiration.
One of the most beautiful episode filming sailing ⛵ I really like it.
Bravo I m watching your sailing all the episodes. Very good sailors from The France 🇫🇷. The best in the world 🌎
I believe you is true. The greetings from the most beautiful romantic island 🏝on the planet Kauai..Keep going its beautiful amazing voyage .I m preparing this year or next year everything buying for my the boat . My the health is extremely good ,I m vegetarian, no meet eating, no chicken and no eggs. My all the family vegetarian living in different European countries.
We have just bought an Ecume de Mer and are very pleased with it. There is a surprisingly good amount of space for a small boat with standing room. I’m glad that we waited for the right boat to come along⛵️
Cheers for the video!
Darren
Nice, EdM are the best :)
Maybe you know it already, but this website is great, all about EdM: amd.alio.free.fr/ukecumedemerFrame-1.htm and also the Facebook page Ecume de Mer Mallard World
Steven - I completely agree. I loved Delos for several years, but in 2018 they have really dropped off. This guy is the real deal :)
Sailors are the best they are so brave.
I am officially a boat nerd. I really enjoyed the tour.
I have been inching to get a 20 meter boat. But honesty I see now that I can do with much less and start living the dream now. Great inspiration to us all.
Great to see you ⛵ nice boat 🌈 have fun 👍 and good luck . 😎 God Bless you .
Grear tour. I encountered this channel casually when vieweing other sailing video. On the related vids there was one like "crossing the Atlantic on a 26ft boat", and, hey, I had to look at that. Then, hooked, LOL.
I started also to see SV Delos from chapter 1, only 8 viewed so far, I still didn' reach the "party point". But Sailing Frenchman is nice indeed
I also saw several chapters from Erik Aandera channel on the North Atlantic, quite focused, I like them too, much more than Delos. As I have limited time to watch "TV" (TH-cam is almost the only TV I watch), I centered on Sailing French, Erik Aandera, and a bit of Patrik Laine (more from him later... oh, days should have 30 hours...).
I think Delos is now at the rear of the train at this moment
As usual, a really good episode. Personally I love the two tone paint - I'm not sure why so many people want their boats to just blend into the ocean.
I like the idea of the smallest boat that's really safe to sail in the accidental big ocean....
I love this Guy! never a problem to big/ always not to bad, I want to pay him to do a trip with him, love it
I've really enjoyed all of your videos up to this point. I have a Canadian built Contessa 26 that I'm refurbishing with the ultimate goal of long-distance cruising and your videos are motivating and inspirational!
You're clearly a more experienced sailor than I am, but I have another boat (smaller) that I'm going to day-sail this Summer to get a bit more experience.
Thanks for your efforts and keep the videos coming!
Nice video! Boat set up just right it looks like.. I'm leaving three months heading South on US Coast. Glad to see another single-handed sailor. Have fun..
Nice, fair winds!
Great work mate - you're livin' the dream and documenting it well...love your boat and what you've done with it! I'm about to buy a KP44 to take my young family cruising for the next few years and envy how well you know your boat!
Fair Winds ...
Thanks for the tour!
Great to see how you can live as a Yachtman without spending millions of Euros!
Found your 24th episode 13 hours ago... Now I've seen all previous episodes as well! Happy sailing!
Amazing little boat. Thank you for the tour. It's very useful as I'm planning to have one for me too one day.
Brilliant tour thank you
Well done .. really interesting how you live on board ...self esteem is so inspiring
Thank you for taking the time, I have an EDM and will use some of your modifications.
EdM forever :)
Wonderfull commentary and great to see you so happy on your boat - I hope you have some fantastic and safe voyages!
You're a genius! Very good idea with the solarpanel gimbal, reminds me of macgyver :)
Great tour of the boat. Fitting my 23ft out atm. Some great ideas. Many thanks.
Back again :) with a new perspective! Upgrading from my daysailer 11 footer zef from the 50s (a french boat :) - im keeping it around for fun) to a Hunter 27. Time to re-absorb your advice
I would sleep a lot better with AIS. Put that on your wish list. Nice boat!
Yes, I have been wondering about why you don't have AIS? Cost?
I really enjoy your spirit and your videos. Keep them coming.
Cost and power consumption are the 2 biggies that prevent people from usin AIS.
What is a ais
It's my dream to live and journey in the little boat like yours. Jealous of u!!.
Very interesting. You're a champ.
Hi buddy. Love your journey. I also tow a decathlon kayak. After about 500 miles of hard sailing the front handle began to tear. Attach a backup line to the mid kayak handles.
Thanks for the tip! Yeah it was also my concern, even if I try to tow it as little as possible
YT randomly recommended your channel and I have to say it is VERY entertaining, thank you for the work you put in making these : )
Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures.
That was a very good tour. Thank you, Hugo
Great tour about the boat, many thanks good impressive. I like it your boat very much.
Damn, man! My GoPro Karma would NEVER start from a huge metal ship because there would be a permanent "compass interference" error showing up. Anybody else have similar experiences? Great videos! You are actually one of the best english speakers among (probably) whole French nation ;)
Haha, thanks,
Regarding the drone, I was indeed getting lots of magnetic interferences, launching and landing were tricky, you have to turn off all sensors, makes the piloting much more challenging :)
The Sailing Frenchman I keep my turned off permanently, as Karma doesn't have any sensors build-in, which btw is its weakest point ;)
J aime bien l intérieur et le manche qu' à sculpter ton ami. Nice To ear a french guy speaking english by the way. Sail safe
J'aime bien vos idees. J'ai un ami qui a acheter une voile comme An Ale juste l'autre jour. Please excuse my "broken" French. I learned it in Abidjan 51 years ago. Anyway, I shared this with my newbie friend. He's the newbie, not our friendship. Bon chance. Bonne route .;-)
the best part what i loved most is the dialogue 'because i am an idoit'! ♪♥
Funny I just realized that Ann alé is based in Toulon. I saw one sister ship also 1973 on sale. This vid gives a good feedback on what to expect.
Très intéressant ce tour du propriétaire. Peut de moyens mais beaucoup d'idées.
J'ai particulièrement apprécié les diabolos de pieds de mat de planche à voile pour l'orientation des panneaux solaires. Je retiens !
Merci :)
Pour l'idée des diabolo, c'est mon pote Victor qu'il faut remercier (il est dans l'episode 2) il avait aussi un Ecume de Mer et fait un sacre voyage avec, son blog vaut le detour : largesseprojetatlantique.wordpress.com
salut
jolie petite unité qui reflète bien le travail que tu as fourni pour le refaire avec on le voit beaucoup d expérience bonne continuation et merci pour ces belles images on attend la suite avec impatience 👍
Some solar panels work on both sides, so if you have them above the water, they will get sunlight reflected from below as well as directly from above
Never heard of those
@@TheSailingFrenchman www.solarpowerworldonline.com/2018/04/what-are-bifacial-solar-modules/
Love the boat, I am looking to get into sailing great video
Fantastic boat how I’ve added so much in a small vessel u have a new subscriber and follower great job cheers mate
looking for similar boats online, I found listed this actual boat. I must say that after all the work, time and money you invested on it, your asking price is really reasonable, almost a bargain. No wonder you are going to sell it fast.
Hal where is the listing? I’m curious
@@omer-kinali www.sailboatlistings.com/view/78296
Never sailed before but those videos are somehow super meditating Lol. Keep going
Awesome! Thank you!
Cool video. Thanks for sharing.
Allo, nous aussi nous utilisons le contenant avec la pompe pour se laver, mais nous l'avons peinturé noir, car au soleil ça réchauffe l'eau. Nous aimons beaucoup tes vidéos, bravo!
Merci pour le joly video, jeunesse et un bon petit bateau, ca c'est le bonheur!
very nice videos. I like the way you are sailing and traveling. Very authentic style. Thx.
Just discovered your fantastic channel and am binge watching at the moment. You have such amazing energy. Keep the"geeking" up....Being a sailor myself, I love the geeking.
I very much enjoy your Channel and they way you create your videos .Thanks
Thanks for the tour of your home!
You're totally sorted out, given me inspiration thanks!
Very Nice explained.
Fine ship sir. Well thought out. Recommend a vhf with GPS and AIS. Eg standard horizon 2200e. Less than £300, and might help you sleep better on passage. Fair winds
Thanks. For the AIS I'm working on a receiver connected to my laptop and displaying AIS targets on Open CPN, will definitely help
Good idea. any ais feed using NMEA0183 sound work fine. Look forward to seeing your solution
Thanks for the boat geeking, great stuff.....
Thanks for the tour - really enjoyed it :) Take care and be safe!
Merci pour le tour du propriétaire !! Bravo pour le travail accompli
Salut SFM, merci pour la visite, c'est quand même un peu juste au point de vue place. Très bonne idée avec tes 3 dimensions de chaines de mouillage. Bon vent et bonne mer
Great video, thanks for the detail from a fellow Boat Geek! :) I have use of a Catalina 27 while i build my 40' wooden boat and very keen to do some sailing so this has given me lots of ideas
Nice, love the boat tour, tiller is great, I’m building a boat so all this info is good for me, thanks
Nice, what kind of boat are you building?
It’s a Van de Stadt 34, designed in the late 80’s. Cedar core / fibreglass sandwich construction, going to take about 5 years I think.
I am very interested in how you are launching and recovering your drone. I'm a sailor who flies drones as a separate hobby. I have a 15' daysailer and have been trying to figure out how to take pictures of myself and my boat while sailing. Major props for figuring this out!
Well, it's all about risking it... and a good insurance. I just take off and land the drone with one hand, from the leeward side of the boat. I attach some floats to my iron so I can recover it. I have an insurance that covers anything since I don't lose it completely. It's a lots of adrenaline but its fun. I haven't crashed it so far (fingers crossed)
Sorry to correct you, Ecume de Mer is 26ft, not 28, its ok on your homepage Jule, thanks for sharing!
Just for comfort I think I would be happier with a 32 foot or so. Hans Christian if I had a choice but your boat does well. Your photography is brilliant. Bon courage mon vieux.
At first I didn't realize why your voice was so soothing to my soul. Then I remembered...you sound like Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
Bonjour et merci pour cette revue technique. Petit bateau, certes, mais il y a du rangement et au moins tu navigues. Comme d'autres, on attend la suite avec la nouvelle GOPRO ! à+
Hello my friend, nice to see how your boat has laid out.
Love your lifestyle and sense of freedom. It is really amazing what you can fit into a small space and how you can simplify your life of you have to when chasing your dreams. BTW I have a Mavic and its awsome bit of kit as you know. Looking forward to more videos. You should get a handheld gimbal for filming too as it will make the footage easier to watch. Personally I get a bit nauseous when the camera jumps about too much. Stay safe and enjoy every minute of your adventures. Thanks for taking us with you.
Thanks a lot!
yeah, I thought about a handheld gimbal, but it makes the whole setting much more complicated and fragile. I like the go pro session because I can just grab it and film, doesn't mater if there is water splashes...etc. But if you know about an affordable and simple waterproof gimbal, I'm interested to hear about it!
The Sailing Frenchman yes I get what you mean. Maybe this one. Not all that cheap but maybe something to consider for the future. store.feiyu-tech.com/products/feiyu-tech-fy-wg2-waterproof-wearable-gimbal-for-gopro-hero5-4-session-and-similar-dimensions-action-camera. Stay safe. Look forward to more videos.
Nice boat !
G'day Qld Australia.
I am upgrading my boat to an 26 ft sailing boat, As i am on my owen and have an disability, i think an 26 ft boat will be big enough for me, as i will have head room an mini bathroom and an large v berth with a gully will be ideal.
Gerard.
Bonne route à toi ! J'ai navigué et habité pendant un an sur un Ecume de Mer, c'est un très bon bateau, marin et facile à manoeuvrer ! Je suis sûr qu'il te mènera où tu veux en toute sécu ! D'ailleurs on fait la même route, on se croisera surement au détour d'un mouillage où je reconnaîtrai facilement ton bateau !!! ^^ Bon vent !
Genial, a bientôt sur l'eau alors!
How did I just now see this brava beautiful boat she is I saw parts of the refitting but this was great to see all together thank you your a great sailor !
🌬️💨⛵🤙🏻🙏🏻
Ou parle Creole? Great video! This boat is very similar to the Offshore 8M built in the UK which is based on the lines of the Van de Stadt Bries from Holland. I have a Bries but it is a restoration project so it is great to see what you have done with yours. My boat is named Erzulie. The demanding lover of Agwe and Dambala whom you may be familiar with. Mesi!
My creole is almost inexistent now :( but the name of the boat remained :). Erzulie does rings a bell indeed. Good luck in your restoration project!
@@TheSailingFrenchman Don't worry it's contextual. Last time I was in Haiti I was in a panic because I couldn't remember anything. Within 2 days I was chatting away. You are French you have an edge. Great videos!
Salut j'ai adoré ta présentation du bateau. Incroyable tout ce qui rentre dans ce 8 mètre moi j'ai un 8 mètre mais je crois pas que la moitié de ce que tu as rentrerais dedans. Il faut dire que l'Ecume de Mer à une cabine nettement plus haute que la mienne, et ça change tout niveau place à l'intérieur. Bref super vidéo, ça fait du bien de voir que tout le monde peut réaliser ses rêves, même avec un "petit" budget. Comment est le dicton : on ne connait pas de marins qui restent à quai... Salut et bon vent ! Régale-nous bien de tes récits de voyages.
Merci beaucoup !
A fantastic series of films of the realities of single handed sailing and congratulations on the restoration of your boat. She looks fabulous.
As the mast is stepped on the deck did you check the fibre glass was solid when you were refitting the boat i.e. no flex or saturation of the biscuit/wood layer inside? Maybe I missed it but I don't think so. Bigger boats the mast goes down through the cabin to the floor. In your refit videos you didn't mention the deck save for painting the foredeck with anti-slip paint. Most was on restoration of the external hull. Did you have to replace any of the bulk heads as again you didn't show. Also I am guessing you must have renewed all the sea cocks?
Ps I have an Achilles 24 which is a similar very pretty capable boat with safe long distance cruising like the EdM.
Fair and warm tail winds to you.
Thanks a lot mate.
The deck under the mast was in good condition, so haven't touched it, but you're right, it's a common problem on those boats.
Regarding the deck, I've been sanding everything before painting everything again, undercoat, finish paint, and then anti slip paint.
No bulk head replaces, al were in good conditions. And yeah, I indeed replaced all the seacocks
Great Video! Loved the adventure at the start and detailed tour of the boat! I spend a lot of time watching sailing videos and trying to work out the finer details of the boat, so that was great to see. Thanks for sharing!
