Crossing the North Atlantic SOLO on my 1970 Hurley 18 (5,5m) sailboat called 1/4 Life Crisis . Einhand Nord Atlantiküberquerung auf meinem 5,5m Segelboot 1/4 Life Crisis.
First time i see someone that has the same reaction about swimming in the sea like that, also nice to see that you had a rope tied to yourself. I dont understand sailors that just jump in like nothing and without a rope.
Awesome adventure! You are very brave to tackle a crossing in a small sailboat like this. I dream of doing something like this. So cool…and good job overcoming your deep water fear and going for a swim. Looks like you took the right precautions. Looking forward to more small boat adventures.
Can someone please tell me what year make and model boat this is. I'm so blown away by this. I've been binge watching since Europe departure and now I'm on the Northern Atlantic Crossing. I love the Improvement of camera angles. I'll say it again. I'm Blown Away
Hey Nicolas, sehr inspirierend! Ocean sailing on small boats interests me a lot and your videos are among the best on that issue! I am currently thinking of a "3/4 life-crisis boat" and downsizing seems the more charming way to go. Danke und alles Beste!!
@@sailing.oneworld vielen Dank für das Angebot! Komme ich gerne drauf zurück! Bin zwar noch ganz am Anfang der Planung....aber ich bleibe dran.... Christoph 👋
Superb and inspiring. Thank you. Would love to see a boat tour and learn how you set her up for transatlantic passages. Best wishes and can't wait for the next installment :-)
Danke schön Nicolas, really cool video! Well done for crossing the Atlantic, solo on a small 18ft boat... you are very brave and have inspired me very much! I like the Hurley and also your new hair cut, whoohoo! Safe travels my friend and may the wind always be with you!😎🌍⚓⛵💜💯🙏
You are really brave! I've done that in open water, but not in the middle of the ocean. Beautiful. I love your videos so much. I wish they were like an hour long!
I totally understand you, why you didn't go swimming. Your small boat ⛵ in the ocean 🌊 is your safe spot, being ever so small and you in the ocean even smaller. A line dancer on a complete line consisting of say 100 fibers, why would she be satisfied with only 10 fibers? _AND you did it_ .
quite inspiring! I have a 18ft myself and was sure I not have a blue water boot, what kind of a misconception 😂😂😂 what kind of weather forecast Radio thing was that? great job, nice vids and deep respect 😊👍
I have a short wave ssb radio and a weather fax app ... it works allright to get a overview of the weather situation ... with a small boat on the northatlantic I wouldnt go without a Satelliten messenger (inreach) to confirm routing options with a land based crew :P
Also geht das mit einem kurzen Boot. Kann ja auch dort durch wo die meisten nicht hinkommen und auch die Kosten sind wie dad Boot; sehr klein! Mal schauen ob ich das auch mache.
I actually googled this. You can get updated weather info using shortwave as the transmitting device. So even w/out internet you can receive data (weather data at least) even in the middle of the ocean - amazing! 👍
No engine, single handing, 18ft boat, and a positive attitude! I love this! What kind of camera do you video with? Glad you jumped in, I don't blame you for having a healthy fear of the dark blue. That whale was awesome! ⛵🤙
Your videos help keep me motivated through my small boat build at the blog same as my name, refreshing to see your simple functional boat, you are an example of go small go now and K.I.S.S, well done mate!
Incredible voyages in small boats is a subject that I find fascinating... Thank you for showing how you are getting on.. I have a little Hurley 22r tucked up my sleeve.. and a dream.
