😀 Welcome to Sailing Artha 😀
Hi there, my name is Nicole, and my single-handed journey began in 2022 on a Columbia 26. It now continues on my new boat, a 28’ Bristol Channel Cutter named Artha (the name translates to “that which allows one to pursue her dream.”) I’m on a giant adventure of seeing the world and leaving it a better place! Follow me as I experience all the hard and fun times of this lifestyle. Thanks for watching, subscribing, and commenting.

Neptune works in mysterious ways. Bristol's are such beautiful, ocean seaworthy vessels. I'm sure your very excited, you and the boat deserve it. The beginning of a new relationship, which is what having a boat is. Congratulation!

@brassring5524 Год назад

You've just landed a true world cruiser, pretty much a smaller sistership to the 36' Cape George Cutter that took Kirsten Neuschafer to first place on this years Golden Globe Race. Congratulation's I think you just may have found your round the world boat. Carry on and let the good times roll !!

@SailingArtha Год назад

That's amazing!!! So cool it's pretty much a smaller sistership to Kirsten's. She is such an inspiration and incredible person.

@jeffreyerwin3665 Год назад

always wanted a Bristol Channel Cutter; never could afford it. You got lucky.

@docmartin56 Год назад

I enjoy the fun and brutal honesty of your videos. Keep up the good work!

@lodragan Год назад

Happy Birthday! Thanks for the update, and congratulations on your new Artha.

@Sailspirit99 Год назад

Awesome yacht for you, love that others see in you what I do and happy to be able to help you achieve your goals. Thanks for sharing. wishing you a very happy birthday. Fair winds, Elaine 😎⛵️

@rosslevitates Год назад

Excellent Nicole, I’m hooked! You have bought the best and safest boat for sailing around the world. Your credentials are impressive and you no doubt have the skills and knowledge to complete a circumnavigation. I recently sold my sailboat so will enjoy your adventures as an armchair sailor, sadly. Love the Bristol Channel cutter and the whole history that comes with it. Looking forward to supporting your quest! BTW Happy Birthday for next week……😊

@SailingArtha Год назад

They say the happiest days of your life are when you buy a boat and sell a boat. I hope at least this was the case for you. Glad to have you watching and thanks for your support.

@tnllifeunedited9165 Год назад

I don't have money but I have subscribed I try to like all your videos and watch them to the end and leave Chat wish you the best of luck🤠👍

@SailingArtha Год назад

Thank you!! I appreciate all of your support.

@greenwave819 Год назад

What awesome news!! very cool to hear more of your story. Now it makes sense how you have so much knowledge about sailing. No doubt your following will grow as you continue your adventures. Happy Birthday!!!

@SailingArtha Год назад

Thank you! I am so nervous about my following! I did not expect to get so many subscribers. Today I was worried because I felt like I would lose followers, but then I remembered why I started this: to document my journey and maybe be an inspiration or helpful to others. I'll keep striving towards that.

@PaulLudwick-z7e Год назад

You already know how to clean outboard carburetors, so now you'll add changing fuel filters, bleeding injectors, valve adjustment/timing, acid boiling out heat exchangers, repacking & adjusting shaft stuffing boxes -- all the inboard diesel stuff. Since you're planning on going far and wide, pack on board LOTS of spares -- even popular diesel engines don't have the parts availability in remote places that small outboards do. I don't think it would be going too far to pack along a spare fuel pump, water pump, and alternator. Not to mention lots of engine zincs. Best of luck!

@SailingArtha Год назад

Yea! I’m so excited to start learning diesel mechanics. Today I learned how to change the impeller on the exact same engine but a different boat! I’m sure you can expect some future videos on this and I am excited for your input 🙂

@timhmetal3499 Год назад

I know Oriental well. Spent way too many hours at the Bean. I had a Mainship 350 at Oriental Marina for 8 years. After weathering many hurricanes in Oriental, it was totalled by Hurricane Florence. Think you may have just become my new favorite channel.

@SailingArtha Год назад

Thank you! I used to work at the Bean!! Just for a summer though and then I sailed away. You probably know Nora though!

@timhmetal3499 Год назад

@@SailingArtha I always annoyed Eric and Amron, founder of the Norma backwards drink....mmmmm. I really miss the carrot cake from M and M's. I'm sure we crossed paths at some point. Coolest guy in town, Pat at the provision company. Wild guess, are you related to Jim?

@Sailing_Antrice Год назад

Happy birthday and congratulations on the new boat. Bristol Channel Cutters are great boats. Look after her and she will look after you. Good luck and fair winds.

@Captnwizkidd Год назад

Congrats on the new boat and Happy Birthday early

@Sharpiesailor31 Год назад

Wow, what an explosion of information about your sailing progression from early youth to present! Very cool, and hoping your dreams of a solo circumnavigation come true. Will be watching your journey.

@journeymanadventure Год назад

Good luck on this new chapter of your life, living your story 🏴‍☠️

@SailingArtha Год назад

Thanks :)

@Miguel_Marques Год назад

Thx for sharing all the info but also the beautiful and less charming sides of solo sailing. I'm a solo sailor myself and can relate with everything - except I'm obsessed by tidiness onboard! 😅. Keep up, you're an inspiration!

@SailingArtha Год назад

haha!! yes, it's taken me forever to move onto this new boat because I'm making tidiness a priority, now that I have the space :) Thanks for watching. I hope to see you out there!!

@fishin4bogey Год назад

Now THAT will take you all the way around the world. Had a friend fully restore hers. It was a piece of art when they were done. Sold it for 185k. They are absolutely solid boats.

@sailingmare6563 Год назад

Congratulations, thats a nice upgrade. Looking forward to seeing your new adventures.

@davethemmp 11 месяцев назад

Sweat little yacht Nicole great seaworthy specs I’m up near their yard in Washington dreaming of a Cape George 36, current refitting a Cal 30 I also bought this boat due to its seaworthy specs , really excited to follow your journey. Dave the MMP from 🇨🇦 maybe I’ll see you in the Bahamas 😊

@sailingsolo5290 Год назад

Oh wow. Thats a awesome deal on a top of the line blue water boat. Youre going to go far on this beauty.

@williamlinden68 Год назад

So...great story, hope you had a great birthday...this boat is such an awesome blue water boat. I have looked at them in detail over the years, just beautiful, incredibly well made little yachts! Good luck, will enjoy following your adventures!!

@stephensparkes7260 Год назад

How amazing that's so good and what a lovely boat , there is some very nice people in this world x

@stefanvanvee Год назад

Happy birthday! And congratulations with your beautiful new boat. Looking forward to your adventures. Greetings from The Netherlands

@californiakayaker Год назад

Looks good, when you check the chain plates check the mast post underneath and whatever its sitting on, they go on those boats. Exactly the boat I need probably. I study a lot, not had a boat before.

@SailingArtha Год назад

Thank you! So yea the reason the rigging is sagging is because the mast is keel stepped and has sunk into its wooden block. That’s why I’ll be restepping the mast

@californiakayaker Год назад

Best of luck with that, its a big job

@SailingArtha Год назад

Yea! Fortunately though it's pretty common on older boats for the block to need to be replaced, and, lots of people have to take their mast(s) down when they do the great loop. The BBC is a cutter so it'll be simpler than a ketch rig. Plus, I need to do some re-wiring (I'd rather not deal with what Lisa Blair dealt with on her Antarctica circumnavigation when her mast came down!), and I need to re-run the halyards, replace some lights, and I'd like to restep the mast a little differently. If I ever did get de-masted, I'd like to make sure the base is bolted down so it doesn't turn into a blender inside my boat. It'll be a big job (actually, lots of big jobs!), but so worth it because of how much easier it will be to do these other projects and make the boat safer overall. I'm looking at it as a blessing in disguise and will definitely film the process so y'all can see.

@davidlevitz3119 Год назад

rooting for you ! youve got no shortage of courage !

@rogerlong2314 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your history, now not so worried about your abilities.. I owned a Columbia 26 exactly like Arta and it was a fun boat for Puget Sound. Best Wishes on your refit

Hello there! Love the narrative 👌 looks like luberon DR. Stayed there a few times. Be very careful. . I m excited to watch your journey! I am a sailor for the last 17 years. I recognize places in the Bahamas you were at also. Good luck take good care ❤

@SailingArtha Год назад

Hey! Thanks. And yes, you're correct about the location haha I'll keep the content coming! You might even recognize some of the names of people I'm working with. Appreciate your support :) hope to see you out here some day!

@ricklabrin9770 Год назад

Congratulations on the boat! Those Bristol Channel Cutters look so beautiful, and sturdy. I've been restoring a Contest 30 that I got for 1$. It was in very poor condition and still needs a lot of work but she's sailing now! It has a Yanmar 3GM in it too. The engine has been good to me and I like the design of the thing. I had to replace the engine mounts as well. I used Ellebogen brand replacements, they shipped nice and quick and were a lot cheaper than the Yanmar ones. They look identical. I hoisted the engine up with a couple 2x4s across the companionway hatch.

@seanhayes2998 Год назад

That’s literally my dream boat. Too late for me, but I sincerely hope you make it work out. Fair winds and safe seas for you.

@SailingArtha Год назад

Hi Nicole, First, Happy Birthday honey! I have followed all your videos and subbed because I like your style, just a real person with no putting on airs, my kind of people. Congrats on your new boat, a real beauty for sure. I have owned a few sail boats but life got in the way so my dream of sailing off to the horizon never came to pass. My two loves in life are flying and sailing although I'm 90 now and am not physically able to do either now. That's alright, I have my memories and will sail with you and some others here on YT from my easy chair. Wind Hippie and Sam Holmes are two of my favorites, and now you. 😘

@SailingArtha Год назад

Hi Nicole, i found your channel recently, love your output. We bought our little sailboat last year and cruise a bit in the UK. Im inspired by young people like you, even if im too old to take part myself, I can still appreciate your courage and skill. Im looking forward to following your progress especially on this boat. best wishes.

@shankaraloucouture1207 Год назад

Artha is actually the first goal of life in sanskrit , meaning : "what is necessary in order to survive". And i agree, sailing is a primary necessity

I LOVED being in NYC while I was there! And then I was ready to leave and go sailing haha thanks for watching/commenting.

@johnh.5779 Год назад

Stumbled onto your channel this past weekend and watched a handful of videos while wondering what was your background as you seemed to have a quiet confidence (though the channel is still really new)…. This video helps paint the picture and set the stage for what you’re really about and certainly what you’re capable of. And by the way….. did you say Merit 25? That’s a blast from the past…,

@SailingArtha Год назад

Yes, a Merit 25 haha it was the first keel boat I ever solo sailed and I think I was 15 at the time? It took me YEARS to start a youtube as I really didn't think I'd find a niche. But people like WindHippie really inspired me and showed me that I could still be myself, and that matters a lot to me. Thanks for watching.

@marioncobretti3076 Год назад

@jckirby7994 Год назад

@RV_Chef_Life Год назад

Sweet! You’ll definitely need a wind vane auto pilot if it doesn’t have one

@SailingArtha Год назад

Yes! it's super neat because the rudder is transom hung and already has a trim tab. Because of the boomkin I can easily install the rest of the windvane on the backstay. I'll be sure to post a video of this when I do it! Thanks for watching :D

@abrahambollinger4236 Год назад

Congratulations!! Wow. This is some big news. Cool!! Yeah, I was wondering about your past and how you got so into sailing. So same RU-vid channel then? Looking forward to your new adventures. ⛵️💨 I went and looked at a Catalina 27 last week. Not sure. Like the fact that it has an outboard engine and sails are in good shape....but would like something bigger. Love the Catalina 320, but it's probably way more than I wanna spend right now. So not sure. Not in love with the Catalina 30. Any suggestions?

@SailingArtha Год назад

Same youtube. I might just add the "h" in the name. As for the boat, all depends on what you want to do with it. Coastal cruising vs crossing oceans is a big difference.

@abrahambollinger4236 Год назад
