Good youtuber

Mads. Can't knock his determination and attention to detail but each time he gets on a boat he's sick as a dog. Can't wait for him to untie his lines.

He makes brilliantly informative videos but I can’t see him ever going cruising. As you say, he seems to get extremely ill, to the point he’s a passenger, every time he makes a passage (Canaries passage and his passage from Kirkcudbright to Denmark being the two I’ve seen). I don’t see how it’s realistic for him to cruise without crew who can singlehand while he’s incapacitated. Not meaning to be cruel as I do enjoy his videos and he seems a lovely guy.

I've sailed with two boat owners who were consistently flat on their back and no longer functioning as soon as they left the Solent over the 8-10 years I sailed with them. Never showed any improvement. And a fair few who weren't immune to seasickness by any means.

It may even be typical - I suspect seasickness is a pretty strong motivator to seek out people you trust to come sailing with you.

Perhaps it's easier to recruit crew for weekend week sailing that long distance cruising, though.

I read a little over halfway through the thread and saw the abuse being thrown about so I apologise if anyone has mentioned “Erik the Viking “ NBJS. He has an outstanding channel. As are others that have been mentioned, Patrick Laine, How to Sail Oceans, Samingo Sailing (something like that) plus a couple of others. Danish Mads has more patience than I could ever dream of having..

Got a bit heated a few of these replies. What happened to you "Good old chaps" English?
Play it with a straight forward defense and all that?
Is the looming lockdown 2.0 getting to you all there in the Old Dart?
Anyway, I am coming to the rescue with a bit of light relief with the world's worst sailing video on Youtube. Patreon free to boot. So bad that you will be messaging me for 1:21 seconds of your life back.
This happens to be from my own Youtube channel, a sailing channel so bad I have to pay people to watch it. Luckily, no one does as Im as poor as a church mouse and I'd be parting out $thousands I don't have. Anyway, you have been warned....

The current and the next Drake Paragon video look pretty interesting .Getting off a lee shore in stiff wind whilst tightly hemmed in by rocks and approaching icebergs.
