@@SailingSeaGypsy *_ Hi you two, great vlog but may I suggest a little thing? I am 75 and watch about 15 to 20 different sailing channels and I would like to recommend that you edit your sound 30% higher than you normally hear it as there are quite a few of us that are Hearing Impaired and rely on our Earphones. (It's 'Yeach' watching with the Captions on as they're distracting) Look forward to your next adventure with sound corrected. Regards from Cape Town, South Africa _*
Looks like a fantastic adventure! Could you please do a vid of the boat itself with all the details? Also a bit of your background and why you have chosen to live afloat and where this might this lead you? Thanks for letting me come along for the ride.
You will never regret buying a pilot house cruiser. I own a 48’ Pilot house cruiser and the ability to see all around you while both a sea and anchor you will love. Even the ability to get out of the weather to observe and make sensible decisions while underway is a feature that most don’t think about. Great choice of boat. The cutter rig is perfect. well done.
We agree - we couldn’t think of having any other make of boat now! We love looking out at the surroundings while in the saloon😊 what model is yours? Thank you so much, we are over the moon with her😁
How exciting! The best days of a boat owner's life are the day they buy her and the day they sell her. In between those two days is a lifetime of outstanding memories that few people get to experience. IMO, there is nothing like spending some time in your life at sea, it is both exhilarating and humbling. She appears to be a custom built 48" Franchini sloop. I don't know anything about Franchini yachts but I'm sure you will teach us all in time, I'd love to know the history of the boat. I look forward to a video tour of your new home. Congratulations! PS: The first thing I'd buy before heading offshore is a cheap but rugged laptop and an Iridium GO satellite receiver with a subscription to Predict Wind. It's money well spent.
Haha! We have heard this saying many times… but also the point on it becoming a lifetime of experiences. We are ready for the rollercoaster that is to come that’s for sure! Yes, she is a Franchini 45L. We have just posted a new video where we go into a bit more detail on the make of the boat, although we are struggling to find a lot of information! Video tour is also pending! Thanks for the tips, it’s much appreciated ☺️

Hi, to both of you! I'm not a sailor and at my ripe old age of close to 65, I'm probably past the point of beginning, but I just wanted to say that I came upon your TH-cam channel and was really wonderfully inspired by your courage, common sense and togetherness, in working towards your goals! I hate to say this, but there is so much negativity said about the younger generation that to see your videos and hear of your plans makes me want to state - well done! Keep going and I for one believe that you will do many great things together! A couple of final points. I've watched, (I think) all of your videos so far, but it would be helpful for new viewers if you were to catalogue the videos in order. Also, forgive me if I'm wrong, but I have not seen or heard anything about your backgrounds, what jobs you do/did, what practical skills training you've had etc. Thought this might be good for viewers to know, because when viewing my first impression is that you clearly have some knowledge and skills and whilst Google is great, there is nothing quite like doing it yourself to learn! Keep the videos coming. Can't wait for you to set sail again!!
My only advice is to not remove, rip out, change anything until you have done a year of sailing and know what you like, dislike, need to have v want to have etc. You have a solid all be it older yacht to work with so no need to rush. Maurice
Thank you Maurice, brilliant advice. The more time we have spent on her the more we realise this! Money is so tight it’s just going to be a case of repairs that have been advised for the moment☺️
This is solid advice. I really like how you are happy to listen to experts too. One thing I cringe at is new to sailing TH-camrs creating ‘how to videos’. I get it but as someone that’s sailed for 50 years at a high level I can say I’m still learning so framing it as ‘this is what we did, still learning’ sits much more comfortably to watch. ‘How to’s’ also invite arm chair experts. Good luck navigating that.
Yep,very good advice..you realize everything is in its correct place most of the time.I also remember a guy who enthusiasticly ripped every out and never managed to put it all back in.
"We just bought a boat" - the emotions and then the process you undertook till end of purchase and sail off for your first time, is admirable. We are sailors and been watching for years many youngsters take on the challenge but without any training nor certifications, you guys are studios and safety conscious. We wish you a safe journey & as we have subscribed to your channel, we will be right there with you....... God Speed!
Just a heads up. There will be lots of people telling to to give up. lots of naysayers lots of people telling you what you are doing wrong. IGNORE all these people they will only serve to discourage you and bring you down. Hold fast to your dream. Love knowledge and embrace your failures for they will lay the foundations for all your success. You will be spending a lot of time together so it will serve you well to remember that conflict is meant to drive you apart. When this happens band together, put the problem out in front of the both of you and come up with a solution you can both get behind and kick ass.
Thank you so much, what brilliant words of advice. We will be mindful to remember this going forward, as expected, we have had a few naysayers leading up to the purchase of our boat and our plans, so comments like these really boost our spirits. Thank you again☺️
You guys have bagged yourselves one hell of a yacht. Best of luck from a long time sailor. I recently bought a 44’ ketch upgrading from a 32’. Mine is also an older boat and has a pilot house which is such a great space to sit in and enjoy the view. I’ve subbed to follow your journey, reminds me of watching Sailing Teulu and look where they are now. Safe travels and stay humble,and ask lots of questions. I’m 61 and still learning. Andy UK
Thank you! We are in love with her! A ketch sounds great, the pilot house is definitely the winning feature in our eyes. Thank you again and we will do.☺️⛵️
Really like your video at 22:23 with the sun in the cabin , heeled over and the sea rushing past the windows, not something I’ve seen on other sailing channels 😀
Amazing story and a journey that my wife and I have dreamed of, thank ya'll for sharing part of your life with us so that we too can be inspired to follow our dreams. May you have beautiful days ahead of you on the seas with fair winds. We too watch a lot of sailing channels, and I will say that you have done an amazing job capturing your story and the editing is on point. Please continue to share your inspiring story and we look forward to your future videos. Thanks again, Randy and Angie. Alabama, US ⛵☀
You guys made your dreams come true. Absolutely brilliant and well done. This channel has the foundation and the ingredients for being something really special. I am looking forward to following all your adventures.
What a great video you two !!! I really enjoyed the blend of what you've put together, and of course your narration is superb. Keep up the good work !!
Absolutely smashing it out as a first video, there's a reason you're at almost 5k subs after 1 vid. It's damn good content. This CANNOT be the first time you've done this.
Thank you so so much! We really can’t believe the support we have had from our first video. Ha ha, it is the first time we have done anything like this and we definitely had a few bickers along the way😂 we are hoping to improve with every video 🤞🏼
Great first video-looking forward to the next instalment. Andy on the island of Alderney. Hopefully you might pop in and see us sometime when you get going on your travels.
Stumbled across this video and omg. I’m so glad I did. What absolutely amazing journey you had to this point. Honestly, watching this on a train leeds to London, i found it really emotional! Can’t wait to watch you on the next journeys and adventures you take.
I am already captivated to watch you continue your journey, I like the young couple with a dream to sail and figuring it out as you go channels. Good work
Love this, you're living my dream. I first sailed a cutter 12 years ago. I lived on board for 9 months sailing around NZ and Tonga. I'll never forget it. I made some amazing friends and met some of the most interesting people. It was the first time I'd sailed and I've been hooked ever since, but only able to live my dream through TH-cam content. Good luck with it, sail safe and embrace the journey. I'm Looking forward to following your journey.
Wow - sounds absolutely incredible! We would love to eventually sail around those areas🤞🏼really looking forward to the adventures we have in store. Thanks so much for following along⛵️
cant wait to look back in 5 years and remember that ive been here since day one. :) all the best for you two! safe travels and happy adventures! so happy for you
We’re so excited to see where this adventure is going to take us, and love that people are here to come for the ride with us ☺️ Thank you so much, we hope you enjoy the journey ⛵️⛵️
I really enjoyed this, the leap of faith as a young couple set out on an adventure. The former owner of the boat , what a great guy spending time to show you everything. Your approach of learning and respecting the knowledge of experienced sailors shows you have the right approach. Good luck 👍, I’m subbed.
Thank you so much, he was absolutely amazing with us throughout the whole process, we have a friend for life there. We are so happy and grateful that people are willing to share their years of knowledge with us and also amazing comments like this 🙏⛵️
So glad I found this channel. I've never sailed before but always dreamed of doing what you guys are doing so will be following along for inspiration. Good luck.
What a wonderful video, this has to be one of the best buying processes ever! Great to have the previous owner present to help out...look forward to future videos. Fair winds ⛵️
What a brilliant 1st look at your upcoming adventures, only just found the video but liked and subscribed. Looking forward to following your time onboard.
Great first video guys and well done for making this decision - I had / have the same dream and have sailed for 40 years on and off but family, career etc meant different decisions for me - great time to do this so best of luck and I look forward to seeing your future adventures - what a cool boat - I hope you did a proper renaming ceremony….
Thank you, we are so happy we have. Hopefully we see you out there one day..😁☺️ she’s a beaut isn’t she, we’re so happy with her. Haha we’re yet to rename her but once we get her back to Galsson we will be doing so ⛵️⛵️
I'm so happy I found your video. Wow,I get to start from the beginning. So EXCITED to see more & more . God bless you both. Be safe. Kimi from Florida ❤
Thanks so much Kimi!! So excited that you are following along with our journey☺️ Our second video is up now if you want to give it a watch!😂 All the best⛵️
Hello Ashley and Eloise, at first: this was an amazing video - I love it. Keep it up. People have written it before and Laure Dekker (youngest to sail solo around the world) wrote it to my children: Chase your dreams & goals. Preparation, knowledge and hard work are the key success. Don´t be afraid to make mistakes, everybody does. Important is to learn from them. Fair winds and following seas Daniel
Glad you guys popped up in my feed... Suscribed! Great video, great boat, great times ahead. I can't wait for more. Wishing you all the best on your adventures.
Huge well done to you. We are slightly (actually alot older) with a 5 year plan and half way through planning to leave in 3 years - its an amazing life living on board our 40ft yacht foe the past 3 years. We will be following your journey. X
Great to see you have worked so hard to be able to go on such an adventure at your age! Yachtlife seems to ve the new trend combining van life and tiny house living and you’re right there !
Great video, congratulations and well done on your purchase, a little jealous as we are still viewing whilst we wait to do the same in about 3 years. Enjoy her and live your best and only life! Fair winds and following seas to you both.
Great video, congratulations on your new adventures..... I couldn't help but notice when the boat was out of the water, you have an XM inflatable horseshoe buoy. That brings back some memories over 30 years back.
I actually watch another English couple Zac&Becca who did what you are doing, they are currently in the Panama just over a year since they bought their boat, they started off just like you two, so I'm going watch along as you get your boat to the way you want it and sail the big blue, best of British luck as they say,. I'm a Kiwi living in China and watching this
Thank you so much, you’re follow means a lot. We really can’t wait to get out into this big old world and see more of our beautiful planet. That sounds amazing we would love to sail to your home land one day ⛵️
You guys are awesome. Came across your channel by accident, stayed for the boat :) Looking forward to your adventures, takes me back to my Nicholson 55, many years ago.
Love it guys! My wife and I thought about doing this a few years ago, but never happened. Congrats on the new boat and wish you many many adventures! We’ve subscribed and will look forward to the adventure!
You came up on my fyp on tik tok, which brought me here. Only to realise to my surprise that where you’d bought the boat is my local marina! Well done on making the plunge and the very best of luck for the future. U have a beautiful looking boat there 😊
WOW and congratulations to you both!! probably the reason I've come across your video is I'm on the same route you guys are but a little further behind. but well done!! not sure why but it made me a little emotional a couple of times, not from the ingress or water but the time you viewed her for the first time just shows what a wonderful time it is for you and realising the freedom isn't far away. I have happily subscribed and liked and I'm sure you shall get many others along the way. i wish you all the best, good look and stay safe out there!! ps, south Yorkshire here. Its nice to see close people just going for it!
Thank you, wow that’s amazing, the best decision you could have made. It really has been such an amazing experience so far, an absolute rollercoaster of emotions, mostly positive 🤣 Thank you again and hopefully we will see each other on the water one day 😁⛵️
I see you have Yorkshire Gold Tea in your galley. A good start for your new boat! I will be following you via TH-cam from this beginning. I was really excited to see you visit the Puffins, one of my favorite seabirds. To You Two I wish Fair Skies and Following Seas!
Only the finest aloud onboard 😁 it was really fun, we will try and find time to get on the island on the way back out. But that won’t be until next year heading to the Med. Thank you 🙏
Heya, congratz on your first Boat! I realy enjoyed the video and I'll stick along for sure! When watching I noticed the metal plate at @20:14 as its written in German language.. if you're curious it freely translates to: "Navigation is... when you arrive nonetheless", after a little google search it appears to be a common saying from the beginning of the GPS-time.
I’d like to echo all the positive comments you’ve gotten so far. Lovely boat. I watch a number of TH-cam sailing channels and one thing I appreciate is if you put a short description even just make and size of your boat on your description page so that I and others can refer back to that if we forget (because we’re old! LOL😂) to know what boat we are watching. Thanks again!!
Wow, you guys are really green and that is a large 1st yacht. Please do not be too ambitious or eager to do long offshore trips without experienced crew. I am a master mariner and the sea has been my home for well over 40 yrs. That said, electronic navigation and communications make the prospect of longer voyages a less daunting adventure these days. Stay safe and happy cruising!
We sure are - yes she is a good size but is going to be a full time liveaboard and we wanted something substantial for when we do our ocean passages in the future. Lots of smaller coastal trips to be done first and we fully respect the sea - we will take our time with the process ☺️ Thank you!⛵️
Congratulations guys!! Go enjoy and make memories!! As a fellow Lancastrian, needing the Red Rose somewhere on the boat!! Subscribed and looking forward to following your adventures. May Neptune and Poseidon favour your endeavours.
Thank you so much!!! We will, we imagine we have lots of memories coming our way. Haha! I’m sure we will find a space somewhere😉 Thanks again for following along😊
Hello you fabulous couple. I stumbled across your first vblog and its great. Neever owned a boat but lasy year I cam across Sailing Parlay Revival. Amazing!! Colin was an engineer on a superyacht but an experienced sailor. You both will learn quickly on your adventure. You now have another fan from N London and I look forward to your adventures. BE SAFE - best wishes David x
Hi David, thanks so much for the lovely comment. They really mean a lot to us! Yes we have watched a few of his videos, love them. We will learn as we go and when we are living aboard full time I’m sure it will come more quickly than it is now, as we are still juggling full time jobs! Thank you again for following along ☺️⛵️
I'm 41 in 2 weeks. And I've got the bug, I'm going to tread the same path. May you journey far and wide! You have a world ahead of you! My (unwarranted) advice is to train a hell of a lot more. Do Yachtmaster, and some mile builders at a training school and perhaps for "holiday" some non-Med flotillas, ideally in the Canaries (for tidal waters). Soak up advice for a year and do a long passage if possible (e.g. Portugal to Cape Verde or Madeira) - again could be a (windy) "holiday" ;-) PS - that's a bloody big boat! You guys have guts but looks beautiful and has great cabin space! I think I'll go for a 32-34ft.
What a lovely couple, boat and story - as an alone older gent I wish you nothing but happiness and lots of stories of adventures to come. Living the dream is never easy but you’re living life to the full and so gonna follow your journeys. The best best.
Thank you so much☺️ I’m sure we have lots of adventures in store - we really can’t wait to start living our dream. Thanks so much for following along and supporting us!😊⛵️
Stumbled across this - subscribed! You’re a brave couple, I’d of been sea sick by now! 😁 Looking forward to the journey ahead! (Keep it landscape mode please.😉)
I loved your two videos. You are both so natural and clearly you've found your forte. Looking forward to the next video. As others have said I'd like to know about you two.
We wanted to make sure we had enough space and it was only the other day we were laughing about this, we definitely have more than enough space 😂 Thank you ☺️
Amazing start to the channel guys. I've been watching sailing videos for 10 years, you guys will be a hit I know it. So inspiring! I wish you the best and can't wait to follow along. Seems like you had an amazing buying experience too!
Sailing is one of those great adventures where it's always changing and there's always something new. Between weather changes , water conditions, current, endless new geographical locations... there will always be surprises. In 20 years you will still be thinking it's an experience in never knowing what you're doing. That's a truism from another TH-cam channel I just watched.
I think this is why we had such an interest in it right from the off. We love learning new things and overcoming adversity’s so let’s see where the adventure takes us ⛵️⛵️
Wow, you guys have everything required for a great you tube channel. The biggest thing is you are likeable, honest and great editing. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words!! It means a lot 😊
Have you got a voyage planned yet

What kind of boat is it
A floating one@@harrycash8713
Looks like a fantastic adventure! Could you please do a vid of the boat itself with all the details? Also a bit of your background and why you have chosen to live afloat and where this might this lead you? Thanks for letting me come along for the ride.
Thank you! Absolutely, we have a few ideas for videos coming up, this being one of them. Any other suggestions let us know😊
Really great vid. Don’t forget to date them please. Really looking forward to the next one. Nick&Rachel.
Going to enjoy watching this adventure. I am the nephew of Stewart’s wife and have many happy memories of summer picnics on the Anna B!
How amazing! We will carry on the tradition of good times and happy memories on her😊 We are sure Stewart and Evelyn will be back onboard soon!⛵️

Thank you so much for your lovely message 😊⛵️
So cool to see the previous owner celebrating your journey and conquest! All the best with the new journey! Enjoy and live it up! 🎉🎉🎉
I know it was so special for us! Thank you, we definitely will 🤩😊
The clarity of the narrative is easy to understand. Well done !

Cannot think of boats with so much glass for the actual cabin
Thank you! It’s an experience being in the pilot house with the waves crashing over you! We could see the horizon through the top hatch at one point!😆

Thank you so so much!! Incredible - we can’t wait to experience that way of life! Thank you for following 😃
Stumbled across this video and omg. I’m so glad I did. What absolutely amazing journey you had to this point. Honestly, watching this on a train leeds to London, i found it really emotional! Can’t wait to watch you on the next journeys and adventures you take.
Aw thank you what a lovely comment. Well welcome aboard, we hope you enjoy the adventure 😁⛵️
Really loved watching this. Really good feel good vibes all round. Hope ye make it a weekly series and will continue to follow ye. Good luck 🎉
Thank you! We are hoping to make it a weekly upload once we set off full time. We will try and get as much on as possible beforehand though!😄⛵️

Enjoy your adventures. The memories are worth more than the price of the boat. Congratulations.
Love this, you're living my dream.
I first sailed a cutter 12 years ago. I lived on board for 9 months sailing around NZ and Tonga. I'll never forget it. I made some amazing friends and met some of the most interesting people.

Wow - sounds absolutely incredible! We would love to eventually sail around those areas🤞🏼really looking forward to the adventures we have in store. Thanks so much for following along⛵️
cant wait to look back in 5 years and remember that ive been here since day one. :)
all the best for you two! safe travels and happy adventures! so happy for you
We’re so excited to see where this adventure is going to take us, and love that people are here to come for the ride with us ☺️

Great first video guys and well done for making this decision - I had / have the same dream and have sailed for 40 years on and off but family, career etc meant different decisions for me - great time to do this so best of luck and I look forward to seeing your future adventures - what a cool boat - I hope you did a proper renaming ceremony….
Thank you, we are so happy we have. Hopefully we see you out there one day..😁☺️ she’s a beaut isn’t she, we’re so happy with her. Haha we’re yet to rename her but once we get her back to Galsson we will be doing so ⛵️⛵️
I'm so happy I found your video. Wow,I get to start from the beginning. So EXCITED to see more & more . God bless you both. Be safe. Kimi from Florida ❤

Thank you so much♥️
Hello Ashley and Eloise,
at first: this was an amazing video - I love it. Keep it up.
People have written it before and Laure Dekker (youngest to sail solo around the world) wrote it to my children: Chase your dreams & goals. Preparation, knowledge and hard work are the key success. Don´t be afraid to make mistakes, everybody does. Important is to learn from them.
Fair winds and following seas
Daniel

Good luck. Looking forward to seeing your content. Safe travels!! Beautiful boat. Love the center cockpit.
Thank you! More videos to come soon. So do we, it feels more secure and gives us a lot more deck space!😁
Not jealous at all! Excited to see your adventures.
Thank you so much! More to come!
I'm your new subscriber, greetings from the Netherlands. May your bow be clear, your rudder be straight, your wind be fair...
Thank you for your lovely comment ☺️⛵️
Good luck, happy sailing, look forward to many more vids.
Thanks so much😇
Huge well done to you. We are slightly (actually alot older) with a 5 year plan and half way through planning to leave in 3 years - its an amazing life living on board our 40ft yacht foe the past 3 years. We will be following your journey. X
That is so exciting! We are hoping to leave in just over a year, so you won’t be too far behind us! Where abouts are you guys based?☺️
Great to see you have worked so hard to be able to go on such an adventure at your age! Yachtlife seems to ve the new trend combining van life and tiny house living and you’re right there !
Thank you so much! We are so excited for what’s to come😁
Great video, congratulations and well done on your purchase, a little jealous as we are still viewing whilst we wait to do the same in about 3 years. Enjoy her and live your best and only life! Fair winds and following seas to you both.
Thank you, we can definitely reassure you it’s well worth the wait ⛵️⛵️
Congratulations on the new yacht and a killer video 🤙. All the best on your adventures and following your dreams.
Thank you so much☺️
What a beautiful story, liked, subscribed and looking forward to seeing your journey together.
Thank you Jeremy☺️
Great video, congratulations on your new adventures..... I couldn't help but notice when the boat was out of the water, you have an XM inflatable horseshoe buoy. That brings back some memories over 30 years back.
Thank you. Haha yes, it’s a bit of age and has definitely been on the back of the boat for a while 😁⛵️
@@SailingSeaGypsy I know the guy who invented it very well, great piece of kit.
I actually watch another English couple Zac&Becca who did what you are doing, they are currently in the Panama just over a year since they bought their boat, they started off just like you two, so I'm going watch along as you get your boat to the way you want it and sail the big blue, best of British luck as they say,. I'm a Kiwi living in China and watching this
Thank you so much, you’re follow means a lot. We really can’t wait to get out into this big old world and see more of our beautiful planet. That sounds amazing we would love to sail to your home land one day ⛵️
@@SailingSeaGypsy you won't be disappointed with NZ, but it has become a bit expensive
As Becca would say…. “We’re bloody doing it!”
now your doing it. Lov your journey. ⛵️
You guys are awesome. Came across your channel by accident, stayed for the boat :) Looking forward to your adventures, takes me back to my Nicholson 55, many years ago.
Thanks so much😁⛵️
Congrats guys, I look forward to more.
Thank you! It means a lot😊
Look forward to seeing where you go with this. 8 years and a some kids later you could be the UK ‘zarara’! Best luck and safe travels
Haha the kids would definitely mix things up. Let’s see where it takes us hey 😁⛵️⛵️ Thank you 🙏
Love it guys! My wife and I thought about doing this a few years ago, but never happened. Congrats on the new boat and wish you many many adventures! We’ve subscribed and will look forward to the adventure!
Your adventures will unfold in front of you, the boat and the universe will see to that. You’ve made one of the best decisions of your lives. Enjoy.
Thank you so much♥️☺️
You came up on my fyp on tik tok, which brought me here. Only to realise to my surprise that where you’d bought the boat is my local marina! Well done on making the plunge and the very best of luck for the future. U have a beautiful looking boat there 😊
What a coincidence! Happy you found us. Thank you so much😊
WOW and congratulations to you both!! probably the reason I've come across your video is I'm on the same route you guys are but a little further behind. but well done!! not sure why but it made me a little emotional a couple of times, not from the ingress or water but the time you viewed her for the first time just shows what a wonderful time it is for you and realising the freedom isn't far away. I have happily subscribed and liked and I'm sure you shall get many others along the way. i wish you all the best, good look and stay safe out there!! ps, south Yorkshire here. Its nice to see close people just going for it!
Thank you, wow that’s amazing, the best decision you could have made. It really has been such an amazing experience so far, an absolute rollercoaster of emotions, mostly positive 🤣 Thank you again and hopefully we will see each other on the water one day 😁⛵️
I see you have Yorkshire Gold Tea in your galley. A good start for your new boat! I will be following you via TH-cam from this beginning. I was really excited to see you visit the Puffins, one of my favorite seabirds. To You Two I wish Fair Skies and Following Seas!
Only the finest aloud onboard 😁 it was really fun, we will try and find time to get on the island on the way back out. But that won’t be until next year heading to the Med. Thank you 🙏
Brilliant decision and what a fantastic boat. Best of luck on the new adventures
We love her and are so excited to get away. Thank you for following 😁
Love a pilot berth , had a 38 Waquiez and loved it, hope you guys have as much fun👍
So do we! Thank you so much😁
Very impressed! It was like watching a documentary and the music to the editing was perfect! Great job! Will definitely be following! Safe sailing!
Thank you so much, it’s amazing hearing feedback back like this it means so much. We hope you enjoy the adventure ⛵️⛵️
Heya, congratz on your first Boat! I realy enjoyed the video and I'll stick along for sure!
When watching I noticed the metal plate at @20:14 as its written in German language.. if you're curious it freely translates to: "Navigation is... when you arrive nonetheless", after a little google search it appears to be a common saying from the beginning of the GPS-time.
Brand new subscriber... video and sound quality are truly superior. I'm happy to climb aboard for the ride!
Well in that case, welcome aboard 😁 we hope you enjoy joining us on the adventure ⛵️
I’d like to echo all the positive comments you’ve gotten so far. Lovely boat. I watch a number of TH-cam sailing channels and one thing I appreciate is if you put a short description even just make and size of your boat on your description page so that I and others can refer back to that if we forget (because we’re old! LOL😂) to know what boat we are watching. Thanks again!!
Not sure how I ended up finding this channel? You guys are literally "living the dream" so I'm gonna come along virtually, new sub for you 😄
Well we hope we do it justice, welcome aboard 😁⛵️
Great start guys. Beautiful boat, excited to learn more about her and your adventures. #notjealousatall #honest
This means a lot, thank you. We can’t wait to get some more videos out. Thanks for subscribing 😊⛵️
Great video so nice to see inexperienced young couple embrassing the lifestype.
Thank you!! We will get there!😁⛵️
How exciting! Look forward to following you guys👍🏻
Wow! What a baptism. I look forward to joining you guys on your future adventures.
Thanks for following along ☺️⛵️
Looking forward to watching your adventures!
Thank you, we hope you enjoy following along 😁
Beautiful couple and a great adventure ahead. There will be stressful times but you’ll soldier through… take it from an old bloke.. 👍⛵️
Such a lovely comment, thank you so much ⛵️⛵️
Wow, you guys are really green and that is a large 1st yacht. Please do not be too ambitious or eager to do long offshore trips without experienced crew. I am a master mariner and the sea has been my home for well over 40 yrs. That said, electronic navigation and communications make the prospect of longer voyages a less daunting adventure these days. Stay safe and happy cruising!
We sure are - yes she is a good size but is going to be a full time liveaboard and we wanted something substantial for when we do our ocean passages in the future. Lots of smaller coastal trips to be done first and we fully respect the sea - we will take our time with the process ☺️ Thank you!⛵️
Amazing Franchini!! Congratulation.
She is a beaut, Thank you ☺️
Congratulations guys!! Go enjoy and make memories!! As a fellow Lancastrian, needing the Red Rose somewhere on the boat!!
Subscribed and looking forward to following your adventures.
May Neptune and Poseidon favour your endeavours.
Thank you so much!!! We will, we imagine we have lots of memories coming our way. Haha! I’m sure we will find a space somewhere😉 Thanks again for following along😊
Wow that is a beautiful boat for newbies. Lovely to see it heeling strong and sailing well. Look forward to yr future videos. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy
Thank you we are made up with her☺️ more videos to come! Thank you so much for the follow.
Hello you fabulous couple. I stumbled across your first vblog and its great. Neever owned a boat but lasy year I cam across Sailing Parlay Revival. Amazing!! Colin was an engineer on a superyacht but an experienced sailor. You both will learn quickly on your adventure. You now have another fan from N London and I look forward to your adventures. BE SAFE - best wishes David x
Hi David, thanks so much for the lovely comment. They really mean a lot to us! Yes we have watched a few of his videos, love them. We will learn as we go and when we are living aboard full time I’m sure it will come more quickly than it is now, as we are still juggling full time jobs! Thank you again for following along ☺️⛵️
I'm 41 in 2 weeks. And I've got the bug, I'm going to tread the same path. May you journey far and wide! You have a world ahead of you!
My (unwarranted) advice is to train a hell of a lot more. Do Yachtmaster, and some mile builders at a training school and perhaps for "holiday" some non-Med flotillas, ideally in the Canaries (for tidal waters). Soak up advice for a year and do a long passage if possible (e.g. Portugal to Cape Verde or Madeira) - again could be a (windy) "holiday" ;-)
PS - that's a bloody big boat! You guys have guts but looks beautiful and has great cabin space! I think I'll go for a 32-34ft.
What a lovely couple, boat and story - as an alone older gent I wish you nothing but happiness and lots of stories of adventures to come.
Living the dream is never easy but you’re living life to the full and so gonna follow your journeys.
The best best.
Thank you so much☺️ I’m sure we have lots of adventures in store - we really can’t wait to start living our dream. Thanks so much for following along and supporting us!😊⛵️
Stumbled across this - subscribed!
You’re a brave couple, I’d of been sea sick by now! 😁
Looking forward to the journey ahead!
(Keep it landscape mode please.😉)
Thank you! Lots more to come😁 Sorry about the portrait, strictly landscape moving forward!😂⛵️
Absolutely smashing it ash! Well done to you both! This will be a huge channel soon!!.💥
Glad to be onboard as your adventures begin. 👍.
Glad to have you on board!!😁
I loved your two videos. You are both so natural and clearly you've found your forte. Looking forward to the next video. As others have said I'd like to know about you two.
Thank you so much! It means a lot. We have gone into a bit more detail in our recent videos☺️
19:28 to 19:39 Express bath, angry-sea style.
I got that last Thursday just above the companionway, it was like a *big* bucket of water in my face.
Haha, it’s definitely the most scary but exhilarating experience!⛵️
As I have started to dream of exactly what you two have done, I look forward to following you on your adventures!
First boat, 48 ft, you guys just diving into the deep end. Love it, subbed.
Youth is resilient. They'll do great.
We wanted to make sure we had enough space and it was only the other day we were laughing about this, we definitely have more than enough space 😂 Thank you ☺️
Thank you so much😊⛵️
@@SailingSeaGypsy You'll definitely have space! Also, this first video was great! Looking forward to more!
Nice boat guys. Looking forward to your adventures.
Thank you for following along!😊
Amazing start to the channel guys. I've been watching sailing videos for 10 years, you guys will be a hit I know it. So inspiring! I wish you the best and can't wait to follow along. Seems like you had an amazing buying experience too!
Thank you so much, we hope you enjoy coming along for the journey 😁⛵️
Go for it guys. I'll be following your channel all the way.
Lovely boat! - Take your sailing step by step and you'll never regret the whole experience! :)
Thank you!☺️♥️
Hi i am in for the journey. Good Luck. And hope for alot of adventures. Good start to this new channel
Awesome! Thank you!
Sailing is one of those great adventures where it's always changing and there's always something new. Between weather changes , water conditions, current, endless new geographical locations... there will always be surprises. In 20 years you will still be thinking it's an experience in never knowing what you're doing. That's a truism from another TH-cam channel I just watched.
I think this is why we had such an interest in it right from the off. We love learning new things and overcoming adversity’s so let’s see where the adventure takes us ⛵️⛵️
Wow, you went out into the real stuff on day 2! Good stuff!
It definitely gave us a taste of what’s to come 😂⛵️
I wish you all the success on your adventures.
Thank you ☺️
