A must watch on YouTube - the amazing Tasha and the 'Chase the Story' series. Excellent.
I just found it - apologies if old news.

It is very well produced

I have been watching the way there is a burgeoning market for videos of wenches - with or without bikinis - grinding winches and partying on AWBs in hot places.

The current market leader is SV Delos -

this is their biggest youtube hitter

three million hits



they get around $5,000 from Patreon for each film they post

I think that "Chase the Story" have spotted a market and are now starting to carve up a slice of it for themselves

and why not?

their best hitting film is this



they are a couple - a brit and a yank plus a full time camera person

they recruit a rotating crew of six attractive people who can come to the boat with a large number of followers on youtube and facebook

they are not interested in their sailing abilities or interest in sailing

Definitely prefer Delos to Chase the Story. Although good, I always feel that Chase The Story is a bit too heavy on the self-publicity, whereas Delos have been going for years without trying too hard.

Other ones I like are:
Sailing Uma
White Spot Pirates
Yacht Teleport
Monday Never
La Vagabonde
More Hands on Deck (although this has gone a bit stale as the young chap hitches lifts with others)
Sailing Baby Blue

some of them would make me a feel a bit uncomfortable if I was watching them on the big telly with my wife in the room.

She would assume that I was not watching just to learn about the pleasures of long distance sailing

I think it would help if you told us which ones we should avoid - it would save us a lot of viewing trying to find out for ourselves :)

It's a tough call.........

Would I rather be on a Macgregor with several bikini clad blondes in the Florida sunshine, or.....

On a Sadler 290 up the Walton Backwaters in the drizzle.....

Like I said, tough call :)

Just started watching La Vagabonde couple, seem very genuine, she is v easy on the eye and Is the one who seems to have twigged the market. The Americans are too loud and obvious in their flashing the flesh!

That is a first for me

a Mac and nice boat in the same sentence
I know it is not fashionable but I have a sneaking respect for Mac. They have produced some very good proper sailing boats and even the much maligned version of the 26 is actually a clever design

but look at the difference in hit rates between the different approaches to being easy on the eye

bikinis in your face really pull in the youtube hits
