Youtube Sailing Channels

I am not their champion but must reply your experience viewing sailing uma. They have just completed a two year circumnavigation of the Caribbean sea islands and mainland. Including an excellent video of weathering a full blown hurricane at anchor in Haiti. They are back in florida and back to maintenance. Their current project is to install all round stainless steel tubing instead of the usual stanchion (?) and guard wires then cross the North Atlantic to UK. Yes they do get out sailing.

Thanks for filling me in :) I'd watched the first dozen or so episodes (very well done, and some of the boat work they undertook was quite impressive), but got a bit bored of maintenance videos and skipped ahead to the most recent uploads- which showed they were still in Florida. So I must have made the assumption that they'd never left. My bad!

I have been watching Sailing Nervous since they started, two years on and 139 videos later they have just managed to raise the mainsail on their Moody 346. Strangely addictive as nothing ever happens.

Guess what 8 months later and they have run that Perkins hard, they do not want to raise the sail - worried about the rig. Probably the most accurately named You Tube channel - well if you delete the Sailing word.

Yes they were on the Moody forum about that cursed baby stay. They have been advised not to hoist sail until it is fixed. I myself have been asking questions about the baby stay on my 346 on this very forum only a few month ago, The baby stay is simply attached to the foredeck with no chain-plate. The leverage is tremendous and lifts the foredeck under sail.

I am in the process of raising the baby-stay mast anchor point with a fitting advised from ybw with the deck fitting moved to a chainplate in the anchor windlass locker. Sorry not connected to the thread but thought Í should complete the story. No idea what "Sailing Nervous" will do. The possiblilty of an inaffective fix is there.

I have just checked the latest Sailing Nervous videos to catch up and, as you imply, they are going nowhere very fast. They get about $150 per video from their Patreon supporters so that may be why they keep putting out the videos. Their most recent video consisted of footage of an oil change, and an earlier upload focused upon the excitement of driving to a nearby marina to enquire about a lift out. Lots of their videos seem to consist of recycled old footage recut to tell a slightly different story.

I have an inkling that they are not being entirely straight with their viewers as to what they are actually up to.

I do not think they are ‘doing it’ for Patreon and You Tube income but a better title might have been Useless & Nervous. The chap in particular is inept.

The are completely inept, I could not imagine them coping with any sort of passage, they would be intimidated by the swell on Barking Park lake.

A chap from the USA tried to track them down at the marina where their boat was based and it appears that they spend most of their time at home rather than anywhere near the boat.

Great, I have just discovered the wacky world of Sailing Nervous. They have been towed in three times in the few shows I have watched.

Next season:

* How we burned the scrambled eggs. "Vin was great, so cool".
* I lose 25 cents down the back of the settee.

Despite multiple problems in putting their Moody alongside, they are now considering a 50 footer :hopeless:

I believe he is an evangelist of some sort. A mixture somewhere between a lawyer and Pastor.

Nothing wrong with that. Of course. He seems law abiding and decent though totally at the mercy of the folk who give him advice. Watch the video of the survey and be astounded at the things the surveyer spouts.
 
Those that enjoy a laid back film may enjoy Andy Lane's stuff, sailing the Swedish islands in his 4m boat! He's one hard nut, check out his Jester Challenge video (in French or English) of his Atlantic dismasting!

The boat on which my wife is currently doing the ARC+ was berthed beside a Lagoon42 whose crew/owners are doing a vlog about their adventures and their contribution to cleaning up the oceans. I've dipped in but haven't had time to watch in detail. What I've seen has appeared a bit light on serious sailing content.
Here's a link, for what it's worth:

Apologies if mentioned by others but Shaun and Julie sailing is Interesting if looking for destinations in WI etc. Many thanks to previous early poster for suggestion of sailing with the tide of which just seen a couple of recently which have a relaxed style without loads of inane music and seem to show places visited fairly well but I guess it depends on areas of interest etc.
 
The first I watched was Distant Shores on travel channel but recently on YouTube. Also one who's name I forget featuring Picton Castle a steel barque. Recently I've watched Delos and La Vag but they gat a bit samey after a while. I've lost interest in KTL since he dumped The Slug.
 
Just started watching The Adventures of Tarka - quite like this one as similar sized yacht to my own.
Sailing Britaly - some good 'DIY' episodes. Video upload is a bit sporadic.
MJ Sailing - my current favourite, video blog of 2 year renovation until launch, followed by their sailing exploits.
Sailing Magic Carpet - apprentice boatbuilder repairs an insurance write-off to an amazing standard, and he and his violin playing wife set off to sail the Med.

In the most recent episode they move from a pontoon to the fuel dock without incident.

They are also looking for crew who can "keep watch using binoculars and follow orders from the captain".
