The bloody nerve of those dirty scoundrels at the Chateau Brest Marina. Have they never heard of the great sailing legend Samuel Holmes? They should be honored to be graced with such royalty! I've ordered slime shooting submarines to attack in full force at the break of dawn! ....⛵⛵🚀
Sam, Your travels around France are inspiring. On the topic of foils, Last month I got an up close view while sailing by our America’s Cup racer while it was on a training run. They are fast and make a sound like a water skier but without a tow boat. Pensacola bay pleased to host as the Winter training home for the US AC team this year.
If you already crossed Bay of Biscay you missed the boats from the GGR that just returned to Les Sable de Ollone after 250 or so days of circumnavigation, solo, nonstop unassisted. 16 started, 3 finished plus 2 that received assist. Much closer relatives to the Pickle and interesting to see their prep. Dang that visa problem. Hope you have fun in the Med.
Hey Sam, I got a business idea for ya, if you can bottle and sell some of your eternal positivity you’d be a rich man! I’m sure others would agree that it is inspiring to see how you can always be positive when most of us would be pissed and glum. Thanks for another interesting vlog, Happy sailing ⛵️
I have a Maltese friend living in the UK who has family in Malta. Im sure they can help you out with whatever you need.. Thanks for the vid btw, Ive seen them all, theyre so inspiring and fun to watch, great job.
New subscriber here , I’d like it if you occasionally added your trip to the store for supplies. It would be interesting to see some of these countries markets. Thx
Hi Sam good one , watch out for the naughty Orcas from the Portuguese costs until the Gibraltar straight , if it's the case you just put the boat to complete stop for while they will be bored and leave
@@swapode Hell yeah !, one of them just did over 1000km in 24 hours something that is hard to wrap your head around !! And that southern ocean live coverage was truely epic . It shows though how far Sams videos are behind real time .
My boat is half the size of yours (14ft or 4m10), but I never call ports on the VHF. I just go to the visitors' pontoon and go to the "Capitainerie". They are on a spot to do something for me, so they assign me a slip and I just move the boat from where it is. I haven't been in trouble for that so far.
Impressive! You chose not to deploy your foils I see. Probably best for their sakes. Coming back through St Malo last September we saw all the yachts about to start out on the Route du Rhum race; not foilers but spectacular nonetheless.
@@samholmessailing do you find it's a useful and worthwhile purchase? I can't see the advantages over using a line other than storage, and sober it's an expensive purchase to try out 😂 would rather get someone's opinion
Ah! Random treat! That helicopter is an Aérospatiale SA 321 Super Frelon. I did my apprenticeship on them in the South African Airforce. Thanks for that. Google ZS-HTN to see the last civilian one I had the pleasure of helping to restore to flying condition, after standing outside, forgotten for almost 2 decades. Sadly, she crashed while fighting fires.
Didn't run aground or drill any holes. Who are you and why are you on Sam's channel? 😂 Morning coffee on my CD27 watching Sam - good way to start the day!
The racing boats are extremely interesting. Food for thought Sam you might want to lean into the racing Concepts a little bit more in the United States I would focus on the scows C_scows you can get them for about $800 the boat you saw basically just moderate them after those boats. It was fun to see what you could do if you leaned into going around the country racing a sail boat John Sailing instructor the video editor the school bus trainer in Kansas City
A heads up for the future, the phrase you are using, “take a slip”, does not mean “I want a berth” in English English - which is what people speak in Europe, even if English is their second language. To “slip” a boat means to haul her out on a slipway. You should simply be asking for a “berth”. Anyhow, as you were in Brest, I was going to offer to welcome you when you visited Douarnenez, just down the coast. But it seems that you’ve gone straight to Spain, and skipped the whole of the rest of the Breton coast!
As impressive as the speed is for those sailboats I think that is why the killer whales are attacking sailboats because they have been injured by the foils on these fast large boats
Team Malizia set a new record for the fastest 24 hour run in a monohull. 641 miles. th-cam.com/video/3afUIxlpX1c/w-d-xo.html Sam, it called The Ocean Race.

Search for "garmin sam holmes" in Google and you can follow how far he has come
Thanks!
Your boat would be faster if you drilled more holes in it.
It would also be a submarine
His channel should be called, “Sam Holes Sailing”
The redditors must have gotten out of school early.

Wow such a great adventure! Thanks for bringing us aboard

Noted. Thanks
Time to 3D print some hydrofoils
The pickle would look badass with some foils and of course more holes!!
😂
Just in time to join the Ocean Race IMOCA’s going from The Hague to Genova…go pickle go
Great sailing in sea of Iroise ⛵, thanks for sharing :)

Great stuff Sam, thank you!
nice work! Those hydrofoil boats are crazy. I didn't even know that was a thing.
@@swapode I'm sure you meant grotesque instead of awe inspiring.
Check out "beauty of sailing" mostly shorts of crazy sailing

5:13 its Julien Bernard on his windfoil :)
Thanks for posting Sam, always a thumbs up from SV Arawa-Crow
Thanks
What’s your rule of thumb for when you wear your PFD and when you go without, for solo sailing?
Great Vid, Sam, I love the foils footage
My boat is half the size of yours (14ft or 4m10), but I never call ports on the VHF. I just go to the visitors' pontoon and go to the "Capitainerie". They are on a spot to do something for me, so they assign me a slip and I just move the boat from where it is. I haven't been in trouble for that so far.
It's nice to see my birthland from your perspective !
Keep an eye out for those pesky KILLER WHALES.
With a boat called pickled HERRING, what could possibly go wrong encountering the seapanda’s?
😊
@@SunshineSailing84 Right? 🤣🤣🤣
They are down near Gibraltar I think.
Can’t wait till you fit pickle herring with foils, you’ll make amazing time in the Mediterranean!
Noooo! Slow down, don't speed up.
Assuming you get any wind in tbe Med...its feast and famine.
Rotor Wing it. Glide it. Fly it all Sam. 😊
Put a foil on that PH! Get that 3D printer humming!
You're a celebrity Sam how dare that Marina turns you away I would give them a bad review LOL
Clearly they didn't know with whom they were messin'. :0/ Indeed - "How dare they?!"
Ahoy Matie! Sam, that marina is vastly remiss in not allowing you a slip for the evening!
Impressive! You chose not to deploy your foils I see. Probably best for their sakes.
Coming back through St Malo last September we saw all the yachts about to start out on the Route du Rhum race; not foilers but spectacular nonetheless.
Yes as a visitor to their country I didn’t want to embarrass anyone
;D
Love your work Sam
Another great show!
Thank you SHS
Great sailing Sam😊
Thanks
If their closed you could pull in and send them payment when they open?
'Sorry, we are closed', that's ok, I'll just anchor...
You should get in touch with Atticus II in Malta!
We are in touch ! Thanks!
Sailing atticus are living in Malta currently.
Awesome speed
The red boat, "Initiatives-Cœur", is Sam Davies' boat. Perhaps she'll take the other Sam for a test drive?
Damn theyre fast
Hey Sammy where is the best video of sailing into a head wind and how you still manage to sail strait!
QUESTION: how much more efficient would your sail-plan be if your main had at least a 1-meter long square top?
It’s more efficient. Hoe much depends on …..
I think it would unbalance my sail plan because my jib would be too small then but I don’t really know. My boat already has a lot of weather helm.
VERY COOL SAILING BOATS. HOW DO THEY COME OUT OF THE WATER LIKE THAT?
Shouting gets you bupkis.
Hydrofoils!
good photographies
Still wondering what the big round SS disc is in the cockpit? A sheave?
Fishing reel.
It's a roll of high strength tape. It can be used for mooring etc.
Mooring line

Sam Holmes meets the Sailing Frenchman
I'll never stay at the marina when I eventually buy a boat that I'll never sail to France
poufe! those petulant French people! :) what did you make the Canadians tac slightly early? :)
Pickled Herring could have smoked any of those race yachts if she wanted
I wouldn’t want to embarrass anyone
Can,t you stop that squeaky rudder, it must be bothersome. Love your adventure, keep sailing
Any suggestions

Amazing!
I have a real desire to track that boat down at 2:45 and ask them if I can wash their boat.
Dan - where are you now? Are you still in Brittany?
Malta seems to be the place for cruisers. Just need an actual local address.
Didn't run aground or drill any holes. Who are you and why are you on Sam's channel? 😂
Morning coffee on my CD27 watching Sam - good way to start the day!
Watchout for Orcas!!!!
Macgruber could probably hook up some foils in a pinch, maybe a killer whale fin if they get too close to the mighty Pickle!

Was that you in São Martinho do Porto? Wish I would have had time to show you the local flight places... Nice to have you, anyway. ;)
I was in porto last week

You're too close, we own the water.
Scar blue.
I know nothing about sailing but when i see sam, i'm like, "BREAK OUT THE JIB MUTHA FUCKAAAAAAAA!!! MAKE A HIT SINGLE!!!!".... yeah... thats just me..
Sam do you still get sea sick from time to time? Just curious. Safe travels!
A little bit sometimes
9:21 now that gives me a broner!
And I say there's no such thing as perpetual motion, a sitting block he found it there for a moment when he was going without the sales
The long hair looks awesome by the way.
😊
SV Project Atticus is (or was) in Malta ,,, give them a buzz.
Thanks for the tip. I will send them an email
Gettin' a little full of yourself there Sam. They can turn away anyone for any reason.

When do you expect to sail back to the USA?
Im not planning that far into the future
Well I was just wondering if you were stuck there for some reason or if maybe you intended to relocate.
Thanks
Have my slip free in torrevieja Spain. If you want, you can use for free.
Oh that would be great. Can you send me an email. samholmessailing@gmail.com
Mail send!
I feel like I should like the French, but...
How dare they try to subvert the great Sam Holmes from setting the world
Hi Sam I can help you in Malta if you still need it? James
The gang from Sailing Atticus were in Malta for months -had their baby there - bet they could advise….
Thanks for the tip. I will send them an email
@@samholmessailing I’m sure you will find them but I just realized the name of the channel is Sailing Project Atticus
i'm living in Malta these days. if youve got any queries just msg

Interesting, I guess colregs dont apply when yout boat is like a few million euros more than the average boat. Nice show though
TH-camr Rob chapman lives in malta, maby msg him?
Marina chateau sucks! Lol
If your hull comes out of the water, sorry, that's not sailing. Those are the transboatgender of the sailing world. DISQUALIFIED.

Get hold of TH-camrs Atticus II. They're in Malta and have been there awhile. They know the area well.
Just got in touch with them. Thanks!
