I see you have a Bristol Channel Cutter. I used to visit their building yard in the ‘80’s when I was an outside sales person of marine electrical hardware. I visited every building yard still in S. California and previously worked for a high end yacht company in California. I can say, without hesitation that the BCC’s were some of the most carefully crafted boats I saw being built in that era. They truly took great care and paid attention to the smallest details. If you can stand the coziness of the interior, this boat will take you anywhere you are willing to try. Just keep up your maintenance of your rigging and sails. Keep the bottom as clear of growth as you can. And watch out for “the other guy” as they are often the greatest hazard out there. Not by aggression, but by negligence, ignorance or hubris.
OMG! You soooo deserve this beautiful moment! You worked so hard, got to so many challenges! I admit I got a little emotional seeing the joy you had finally splashing! You rock Captain Nicole!
Nicole, next step is the Vendee Globe. She looks absolutely beautiful, you really should be so proud of your accomplishments, the refit was a torture but you overcame all the obstacles with flying colors. YOUR A TRUE INSPIRATION TO US ALL Nicole.
A huge congratulations on the successful splash of your boat Nicole! This is my first time commenting and just wanted say kudos! What an amazing accomplishment for a single girl, and it’s so inspiring to see your hard work and dedication come to life on the water. Remember, no matter who comes into your life, your dreams and journey belong to you. I hope this next chapter brings you all the fulfillment and joy that solo sailing and travel has always promised. The seas are calling, and I can’t wait to see where your spirit takes you next!
It’s exciting to see all the hard work come to that exciting day! This is definitely an incredible high after a year of one low after another! Well done and congratulations!
Congratulations. Success is its own reward but you should be proud of yourself. Well done. I’m sure all your followers are proud and happy for you. Good luck best wishes, may the wind always be at your back. 😊
Whoop, whoop, that was a smooth splash into the water. Congrats Nicole ! Wishing you lots of save and happy nautical miles with Arta and your dogs. Greetings, Frank
Congratulations Nicole! From this humble landlubber's perspective what you have accomplished seems utterly amazing! I looked up some maritime phrases to wish you well in your future endeavours and found this one I like! "May your compass always point true." 🌿
You should be sooooo proud of yourself. I know nothing much about sailing but I do know about refurbishing, rebuilding and making good and just how much work is involved. A happy day for you.
I am so happy to see you back in the water, all of your hard work has led you to this point and I was biting my nails at how sketchy that boat trailer looked.
Every time I stumble on a video of Luperon I try to find my previously owned boat - The Hornblower, a green Pearson 35 - found it at 12:03.Happy to see that it's still floating. Thank you for making my day, good luck with your future adventures!
Nic, great job! I suspect that with everything that you have now down you I’ll want to finish painting the entire surface so that when you do leave, a total restoration will be done and hopefully you will not have to worry about anything for quite awhile and you can then enjoy yourself fulfilling your dreams…you sure do deserve it! You go girl!
Nice video ! They say what don't kill you makes you stronger; I think you can think back at the last year or more and see how that is very true for you. I know you've had trying times, some tears and some blood and some days when you just wanted to throw in the towel. But, look at ya now ! Look how far you've come ! Congrats and always believe in trying and possibly failing rather than failing to try ! Take care !
Congratulations Nicole you deserve every smile and feeling of accomplishment,you’ve work so hard and tirelessly with your dodgy knee not even holding you back, your new home is so much safer, well done 👍
Splash! And she floats. What a rewarding accomplishment. You and Daniel have a celebratory dinner. Geez, Boom has gotten so big. But I have to admit that Kaijin has a special place in my heart with that floppy left ear. A warm and hearty congratulations from each of us.
Congrats on splashing your boat!!! So happy for you. Your big beautiful smile says it all. All your hard work has come to fruition. Can't wait to see you sail Artha soon. Stay beautiful and follow your dreams ❤
I had not been able to see your video and I tell you something: CONGRATULATIONS. You are in this situation: Beses Llenas, 9th. Inning, Two outs and with a big hug in center field you are about to win this great Dominican game. CONTINUE AS YOU GO, slowly and without interference. Great Nicole. PS. I'll send you Mail so you can take notes and do the right thing as you can.
Wow it looks great I been following in you doing all the work I told you it was girl power. Nice you have a great man too I keep following you on your trips x Paul 😋🇬🇧
Hi congratulations she’s back in the water where she belongs yahoo yahoo yahoo that’s fantastic. Keep up the good work always enjoy the videos Cliff from Australia
Found your videos yesterday and have binged all episodes in 24 hours :))) I have a boat also under a smaller refit but havent been motivated the past year... Thanks to you I have found back to my motivation. Thank You!!! You are my latest hero!!!
Woohoo! You and Artha back in your element at last! I wonder how Kaijin will adapt to a floating life and poor old Boom (somehow, I doubt he will be short of friends but he'll surely miss you). Dare I say God bless Artha and all who sail in her? Congratulations!
Kaijin loves it so far. It breaks my heart to see Boom always so happy to see me when I do end up back at the yard to say hi to people, but he’s better off there. More space to run and play, regular food and water, monthly meds, water to jump into without a boat sailing away… and plenty of attention, yes.
Same. I was heartbroken. But it’s better for him. He can run around and play, get lots of attention, jump into the water whenever he wants without a sailboat sailing away, gets regular food and water, monthly meds.. but yes. Still heartbreaking. I do love that dog.
Congratulations on this milestone, you should be happy after a full year of work, That launch trailer made me nervous just watching your video, some serious leaks in the pneumatic lines and cylinders.
congratulations you have e a boat again" yippee" not just a lump of money sponge on a hard stand, it is a surreal feeling every time you do it "ENJOY THE RESULTS OF YOUR HARD YARDS
Quite the accomplishment from take-out to back in the water. You can be very proud of what you have done.
Thank you

Congratulations you. A job well done - now life can continue with sailing. Great to see you wet again and not high and dry.

Only joined the channel a few months ago, but so happy for you Nicole! True emotions are not to be confused with anything else
I am so happy to see you back in the water, all of your hard work has led you to this point and I was biting my nails at how sketchy that boat trailer looked.
Awesome job. BCC has to be one of the best cruising sailboats ever made. I can’t wait to see your boat sailing!
I am so happy for you you have worked very had and it made me cry to see your boat in the water
Awh. Thank you for the support
Always the scary moment when you have no control of your boat. You have done great work.
Every time I stumble on a video of Luperon I try to find my previously owned boat - The Hornblower, a green Pearson 35 - found it at 12:03.Happy to see that it's still floating. Thank you for making my day, good luck with your future adventures!
AH! That is SO cool! Next time I dinghy around the harbor I’ll look for it! Thanks for watching and commenting
Awesome! Congrats!! I’m sure that has to feel amazing to be floating again!

painting is time consuming and costs money, so I’m prioritizing other things for this season.
Nice video ! They say what don't kill you makes you stronger; I think you can think back at the last year or more and see how that is very true for you.

Inspiring! One year and two days, unreal accomplishment. Congratulations 🎉

Hi Lady,
Very nice n impressive. Keep it up. Well I also lover of sea site visiting. Take care
Great news! Finally back in the water. Let the adventures begin (again).
Seeing Boom realize he was not going to be able to go was the saddest thing I'll see all day. I'll miss him!
Same. I was heartbroken. But it’s better for him. He can run around and play, get lots of attention, jump into the water whenever he wants without a sailboat sailing away, gets regular food and water, monthly meds.. but yes. Still heartbreaking. I do love that dog.
Looking good 🎉 that is a solid boat 🎉
