Sailing Cadoha is a young English couple with no experience, buy a yacht at the wrong end of the country and have an adventure getting down south with bigger plans in the future. Easy to watch and well put together
I've watched the usual range but the only one I stick to now is Sailing Yacht Florence. Nice young couple, they have a good manner, they're walking the walk, the cinematography is good and they are circumnavigating on the cheap [ish].
I've started watching Kittiwake after the thread on the film "The Boat" where we discussed the hidden inland sea on Gozo. I watched that particular episode and have now started back at the start of their journey in 2017 and am working my way forward.Yes they're probably my favourite too. Kittiwake are good but got stuck in the Med for a bit.
Ran sailing is my current fave. (very good - he's a carpenter and very good with his hands))
Sail Life of course. ?
Erik Aanderaa, not particularly DIY focused content but great seamanship. (Leaving the main hatch wide open in a F10...??)
Ryan and Sophie Sailing. He is quite techie and she is hilarious.
they are quite funnyHere is the antidote to Mads:
Not that it will teach you much useful about boat work.
It's an off the wall travelogue with possibly the most iffy boat that anyone has paid money to buy - however they are both tough and have already done a lot of hard miles. Strange but true.
All very odd but you have to like them for their quest and keeping at it.
used to watch them until their Greta episode ? fiasco , not any more .Sailing Nanji is also worth a watch but I hope they don't make so much from their blogs that they get a swanky new boat. I much prefer to watch life in a mab than all mod cons.
met them up here when they got their boat ,, a really very likeable couple .

i too have been pricing an instalation ,,, tbh i really can not see how they fitted 500 - 600 w for that price . i hope the panel prices have dropped !! from what i can see it is more like ( very aprox ) £ 100 per 100 w ,, i would love to know of something better .I just watched that one as well. I went over to their blog to see if there was any more information, in particular how many watts of solar they have. I didn't find a number but I presume they are using two domestic standard panels so around 550-600w total.
What I found interesting was that their costing for the two panels, charge controller, and bimini mounting, was $400. This is in line with what I expect to spend for a similar setup. Lots of other people seem to be spending far more than that, which was making me worried I was under-budgeting and had missed some important information somewhere.
Ryan and Sophie did a fairly comprehensive video about their refit costs which were in a different league altogether. I suppose people just spend the budget they can afford. Fortunately it looks like even cheapskates like me will be OK given how much prices of solar panels etc have fallen.
