- Crossing the Atlantic SOLO on my 1970 Hurley 18 (5,5m) sailboat called 1/4 Life Crisis .
This is Part 2 of my Atlantic Crossing in Winter 2021/22. It took me 30 days from Lanzarote to Antigua.

Well done and what a great adventure 👍👍
When I made a passage/crossing on a 27 foot (8.2m) boat, everyone called me insane. Yet this guy does it with almost half of that, awesome :D
I am going to cross it on a Sunfish.
Hurley 18 might be one of the best choices from mall boats thanks to its good ballast/weight ratio.
That is really cool, man! I am typing this from my 28’ Newport. Seriously daydreaming of an Atlantic crossing. You and @sailing.oneworld are inspirational.
Borat made a sailing movie!
sailing across a ocean on a small sailboat is my dream that looks like a awesome daring adventure. Congratulations on finding the best experience on earth.
Ein echtes kleines Segelboot, sicher und preiswert. Eine Menge Mut und Begeisterung typisch für junge Menschen. Endlich sehen wir nicht mehr die üblichen Bügeleisen, weiß, mit Doppelruder, alle gleich, mindestens 40 Fuß.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch
This man has guts of steel! Not getting seasickness with days of rolling is impressive!
I think its very tough to get seadsick when solo sailing, your mind just doesn't allow you to go there
Congratulations my brother in sailing
Man, u are the real deal.... Bless you and keep safe
I've just found your videos and watched all 3 parts. What an adventure, impossible to do without the windvane! I like the simplicity of your setup. I look forward to part 4!
Not impossible. He could have gone electric.
No he couldn't, he has no generator and none of the solar panels needed to power an autopilot and in those conditions it would consume A LOT of power.
North Atlantic is a lot different
Fantastic and epic journey. You certainly deserved that mid journey bottle of wine. Looking forward to the next episode. Fair winds and stay safe.
Well done! Looking forward to the next one. I'd love to see a video with details about your boat too.
Hi Nico! I hope, you are well! Great adventure! Impressive Performance! Respect! Fair Winds, Christian
Sei un grande!!!!! Congratulazioni! 👍👍👍

Wewe ni Simba.. Enjoy your travels and thanks for sharing.
Excellent content, I look forward to the adventure
Unglaublich! Freue mich auf den dritten Teil.
This is great! I’ve just discovered your videos and will have to binge watch to catch up with everyone else. So far, I’m amazed at your bravery to do this, but you obviously have the knowledge to do it too…..
Or some more experienced sailors may not agree with you
Wow,very brave man,cheers!!👏⛵️🍻
Great and courageous voyage! Why didn't you bring a fishing pole? Nutella isn't the healthiest snack on the high seas...
sehr schön! ich mag auch die verschiedenen Perspektiven bzw. Eindrücke, die du aufgenommen hast!
20 seconds in, I’m hooked. 1/4 life chrises? Amazing
This is something I want to do cross the Atlantic from FL or NYC to Europe France this would be on the top of my list
Amazing! You are one brave guy!
Wundermagnifik Nicolas !
This is the kind of adventure I have been dreaming of and hoping was possible.
This is really insanely inspiring
Very nice video, thank you. I love the simplicity of your setup. Can you share, what exactly model is your boat?
You have balls of steel... new sub here, congrats
👏👏👏
This is absolutely bonkers and I love it
Amazing!!
Enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing
Impressive!! Thanks for sharing our adventure!
Uh...YOUR adventure!
Well done so far Nicolas! Looks like a stiff task but you mate it look relatively easy (sure that’s not the case all the time).
Great vlog keep them coming and thank you for sharing, all the best and fair winds amigo
Simon, Yorkshire England 🏴
Thank you ✌️ next one will be Up in a Bit 🎥
Looking forward to seeing how you went on….
Very cool. You’ve got guts!
Wow...amazing...
You're living the great life.
Not being disrespectful but your eye's are wild man you look gangster . peace from phoenix az.
Yes I had a little accident there and am blind on one eye now .. full pirate mode😅🏴☠️🤣
Brilliant - very inspiring.
Under 30feet, no way!
Great video Nicolas
Very good video!!!
Man you have balls the size of an ostrichs eggs! Hats off to you my friend! Fair winds
Awesome!
So much info. Thanks
Great adventure, cant wait for more to come.. will you be doing a small tour of your sailboat so we can see it from all angles and what things you teavel with for comfort? Would be a great clickbait title, i crossed the ocean in this tiny 18ft sailboat.. haha.
wow what a trip buddy!
Chapeau bas à toi,mec...
Bravo Nicolas!!!
I can't get tired of waching your videos. What a great adventure.
Would you do a video about How you'v got there? How and when did yoi get the idea. How and where you got your boat. What preparation works did you do on it. Aprox costs. These could be a big help for people like me, who are dreaming to do something similar one day.
Hey Mariano thanks for the feedback !! I´ll be back at the boat next week after a summer of work. I allready have some videos planed that will hopefully answer your questions :)
Congratulations!!
Mutig mit so einem kleinen Segelschiff die Reise zu machen.
Amaze balls! ⛵️
Hey, @samholmessailing, a solo cruiser like yourself, also does paragliding. You 2 have a lot in common. Small boats and wind vanes and fried eggs.
Hurley 18,, good old boat, made in my city,, Plymouth UK
Brave man!
legend
Brilliant thanks for your videos! Not sure where you started your journey from ? And how you prepared the boat.
I started in greece but didnt film anything in the mediterranien ... I will Post some Videos about the preparation in the Caribean before my Return Trip soon 👌
Crazy or balls of steel? I don't know. Great to see you cross the Atlantic on such a small boat. Congratulations
In actuality and I’m not taking anything away from this brave guy as far as sailing goes this as easy as it gets. If you threw a bottle in the ocean from where he started it would wash up in the Caribbean in a couple months.
Massachusetts to Europe is 10x more difficult/dangerous.
The
Well done, great adventure...with good images what camera did you use
An old friend of mine did it in a Kelt 550, a long time ago.
Congratulations you are the first TH-cam sailor that cooks more than (1) egg for a meal smh
wanderfull
Amazing Footage! Don't you wear any security equipment, life-jacket etc? Are you connected to the boat at any times?
Waiting for part3! keep up the great work!
I Connect to the boat when feel its needed and allways when I go on the fordeck :)
Life jacket…lol
What would the purpose be? To prolong your inevitable death a couple hours after seeing you boat sail away?
You don’t wear life jacket where there is < .01% chance of being rescued!
Buongiorno ti stimo fratello!!io tra due mesi partirò da porto san giorgio per fare il giro del mediterraneo fino a Maiorca...grazie per il coraggio che mi dai con i tuoi video e spero un giorno di incontrarci in qualche porto.una curiosita;ma come hai fatto ad aprire la bottiglia di vino....hahaha.buonvento
Well designed small boats are as seaworthy as a cork in a hurricane. They have small loads and are very manageable.
I think I'll give sailing a go
Is the boat fitted with autopilot? Also where do you get water? Boat looks so small that it would just get smashed in a storm. Is this brave or stupid?
Amazing!! Can you tell us what is the model of your boat ? Thank you!
Grosse Adventeur, aus welcher Haffen bist Du Abgefahren ? Viel, Glueck !
Hi Nicolas, congratulations on your trip. I watched your videos. I too have a small boat like yours.What is your native language?
German :P
I actually have been considering a life change of living on a yacht,,,life is different the last few years,,,live more work less I think,, ,but not sure if I can do it,,,yet u sail across the Atlantic in an 18 footer,,,,legend !
You and 1000s of others! It takes balls to break the chains of modern society and truly live.
Where the heck did that bird come from in the middle?
Καλές θάλασσες..
Do you use cockpit boards?
No
Ola asito os teus vídeos são ótimos tenho um veleiro delta17 pés navego na lagoa dos patos Rio grande Rio grande do sul Brasil parabéns
Why didn't you use your main sail?
Hurley18
Awesome, just shows you dont need a 40 foot boat and crew of 10 to do this, go small go now.
Hahaha Read that book when my wife and I took off in 1990. Give er hell. Any one who thinks this is easy, it's not, It's a mental battle of how small you are in this world an how close to death you are,
Have to admit it's impressive going across the Atlantic in what is basically a trailer sailer, not totally sane grant you and certainly not safe but impressive none the less.
This would be an serious undertaking in a yacht. That's a dinghy with a cabin.
In actuality and I’m not taking anything away from this brave guy as far as sailing goes this as easy as it gets. If you threw a bottle in the ocean from where he started it would wash up in the Caribbean in a couple months.

Take my hat off to you
Quando vier pra natal RN, me avisa posso lhe ajudar aqui , não vai te faltar nada ok
What kind of wind vane is that?
Windpilot pacific light
@@sailing.oneworld Danke!
this guy is the real luffy d monkey
Who control sailboat when u sleep
autopilot
I’m interested to know how much water you brought, and where you stored food.
I brought 120l Water and used absolut 60l. Food For +50days was Stored mainly underneath the bunkes
Using a map and gps is just cheating though, and your boat would floated to Antigua from lanzarote by itself?
I am joking.
Those Campingaz stoves are the most dangerous pieces of equipment imaginable
This man loves danger. More danger more fun
There is ZERO chance that this journey would be Enjoyable by yourself on that small of a craft. This person is insane or has nothing to loose. I hope he makes it out alive.
It's all about having the right attitude, which he does, he's enjoying it - he'll be fine 👌
There's a Swede who sails in a 12ft tube all over the world. Polynesians were doing it in dug out wooden catamarans when Europeans were still afraid to leave their caves. He'll be fine and if he isn't, he's still living better than most.
Thats why he called his little yacht "quarter life crisis "
@@paulutionz What's the channel name of the Swede?
Why didn't you use a spi?
It was way to windy for my boat and a spi 😅
Blame it on midnight ,some men go just where they want to go, some men never go.
Yup! Mr Seger
Dude, do you have a glass eye?
No but Im blind on my left eye 😅
@@sailing.oneworld Ready for more adventures!
If I was going to sail across any ocean I would need a sailboat bigger then a whale at least 100 ft. long, and 24 ft, at the beam.... I would prefer it to be bigger around 200 ft. long, and a 40 ft. beam....
Many people take 30 and 40 foot yachts all over the world and cross the Atlantic.
I know what your trying to say but a big boat > 40’ has HUGE forces on it and as a solo sailor would be all but uncontrollable without a crew so more dangerous.
sea water for bathing?
Yes
what else? drinking water?
I'm surprised you had to do the trip on your own, you'd think people would be lining up to cross the Atlantic in a dinghy
Surprisingly few people want to do potentially deadly adventures. Are they nuts? Or is it us?
대단하다는 말 밖에...존경합니다.
Wait wait 5m is 18 feet?? 5 meter is 16 feet 4 inches????
Prob 5m at the waterline.
I admire you for doing it but for the price of that outboard (let alone the boat) you could have flown there and back but then nowhere to stay I guess. 😊
Mate, no corkscrew?!! You have to be better planned than that. :)
