SAILING LIFE: How to get started Sailing the World (even if you know nothing about sailing) 

1st: As a professional mariner and as someone who used to run a sailing school, BRAVO! The best way to safely grow the sport and get more people out on the water responsibly is through ACCESSIBLE education. This is great. 2. For people complaining about Ryan & Sophie taking advantage of their experience and monetizing it… How do you expect them to keep the rum kitty full? Good on them for creating an opportunity to make money, while passing on their knowledge. Keep up the great work Ryan & Sophie!

Good to see another video. Very good information.

All in one information source. That's great. Glad you've put this together. Have watched you off and on for years now, have really enjoyed your travels. Hope to start mine soon. Fair winds and smooth seas, Sophie.

Love it guys,

signed up......I am just starting myself, I have my boat. And looking forward to what you have to offer.......

Yeah having the systems in the back up systems understanding the power necessary and the provisioning .sailing itself does take time and experience constantly being thrown a new scenario Learning your own boat before you take off spending time sailing in different weather conditions anchoring docking there’s definitely time involved but it’s it’s very nice to have a template to create the skills to leave your backyard , I’m sure there’s very much valuable information to get someone started on building their miles and visiting multiple countries if not the world.❤

All ready the end!!! Throughout episodes 1 to this one, you made me laugh, cried, laugh and laugh❤️😍 love everything about yourself such as the hi and low you’ve been trough! Canada in a few months?? I’ m in Québec near Montréal 🤪👍🏻perhaps going trough the big lacs!! I’ll miss your presence for now and will wish you another great year😘 je vous embrasse, à bientôt 😎🇨🇦

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks

This is a great idea..

If you can make a living doing what you love, you will be happy. Remember the "4 L's". Live, Love, Laugh, and Learn. Good luck your latest project!

Glad you did this because I have seen some people are building sailboat for around the world travel that are not really appropriate for that. I love for people to have a dream about this with a more important information for doing it safely.

Great concept and a huge amount of work for sure. Feedback i would offer at first glance is to clarify on brighttrip the relationship between Part 1, part 2 etc and the chapters. When I previewed the part one cost it was not clear to me what I was getting when below there was all the chapters that you overviewed on your RU-vid channel. The only other feedback would be about offering navigation education. As there are long established institutions that provide this education it would be good to be very clear what you are offering and why people would choose what you are offering differently from these other organisations. I am sure there are clear reasons. You have made excellent RU-vid clips and I am sure this production will be equally professional and very useful to many. Thank you for bringing such great humour and class.

Signing up, can’t wait to add this to my learning library! You guys are hands down my favorite channel across RU-vid. I wish you all the best in this new pursuit.

I really like Sophie! And the best is when she talks I can turn off the sound and I still understand what she is saying. The way too exaggerated hand gestures and movements are better than the deaf-mute language! Fun fact: I never learned that language!!! 😂

Good on you guys. Well done. I am dizzy just thinking about the extent of effort you have put in. Plukkimedes

Belle vidéo, divertissante et instructive ! J'aime ça ! :)

Thank you so much. We are on the Verge of launching out to sea. Looking for our first boat.

Hello Ryan and Sophie -- curious if there is news on your How to Sail videos part 2 and 3? I'm really looking forward to them!

Hope you include a link to those glasses you got for seasickness! 😊. Those made me smile.

Holy cow Sophia, I did not realize that you were in the US. I was doing my best to kind of block and run interferes on that. I must have been either on vacation or out of town for that to slip past my desk... so now that you're in the US I've got it let everybody know that we need to be watching everything you do, and listening to everything you say. So it's my bad I'm in charge of these things, I must have been fishing or sailing or out of town on vacation for your name to slip past my office. So now that you're in the US I will be watching you. Very very carefully..

Aloha from hawaii... Loving my new Dakota bank... if in hawaii lets sail....

The production quality from the clips look really great. I am very excited about talking this course. After docking today, I am sure we can both use it! Heidi

Love your videos! I'm planning to take my boat from the US to sail the Med and facing the dilemma about the US 110V versus Europe 230V at the marinas. Any considerations on the subject? Could not find a practical solution.

Nice episode! After watching many of your previous technical and how-to episodes, I KNOW this is going to be a great series. I would highly recommend it - sight unseen.

We love this and know so many of our clients can benefit from your knowledge ❤ looking forward to recommending your series…well done. 🎉

Is it something like a class I can only take once or does it come with notes I can review time and time again?

12 minute infomercial.

Ryan and Sophie videos and blogs have been my gateway into any of the other channels so props to them introducing me to RU-vid sailing and van life and other things cabin life lol

Hi guys. Are you guys still vlogging? Greetings Christof.

Hi guys, in an earlier Q&A after Soloing the Atlantic, you mentioned a contact of yours had started his own shore support business, do you have a website link or anything so others can subscribe / utilise these services please? :) thanks!

Bon courage ❤🎉 any video pour Noël ?

Where is everybody?

I will listen to Sophie teach me anything .

Congratulations! Sophie is a gem!

So checked to get signed up for videos. Is it $160 for all videos or is it $160 per video?

Most outstanding presentation and I'll be looking for more information on this introductory course thank you

Any meet ups while in Iowa?

Wishing you the best on this new endeavor! Your title says “Sailing The World” which presumes full time sailing, but weekend sailors need the same information. Since food and eating well are important for enjoying sailing, I suppose you could even do an episode on provisioning the Galley with cooking utensils and how and what to cook while underway on a mono hull boat. Propane vs electric stoves need to be included!

I think it is great that you have developed this courseware. You look to be covering a bunch of stuff that the other online (NauticEd), and courses from ASA & US Sailing do not offer. The one thing that I think is very important for people who take this course are aware of. The classroom is the easy part, its the "Lab work" that is the challenge. Take a hands on, in person course on an actual boat also before you dive in to this. Best case, find a way to sail on someone else's boat. If you are near a marina and they have a sailing program, get involved. If they have a racing program, grab a six pack and see if anyone has a spot for you to go out. Hands on is the best way to apply your learning, and if you can do it before you buy a boat, all the better, if not best.

hey if you go by lake Champlain come and see my 2022 40.1

Merry christmas for you three! Sophie, please dont rush through your videos. Take your time and relax. Some words are really hard to understand since your french accent is mixed with American potato into cheek accent 🤣. I really liked your former videos more. Because they were more informative and the humour was fresh. Now it seems for me more that it is just a planned artificial show. I miss your natural charme. Just an honest comment. Wishing you well. Greetings Patricia

The course doesn't happen to have FINDING A CREW MATE (preferably the romantic type), does it? I've been living on my boat for 4 years now, and dang, just haven't been able to find someone who wants to do the same, let alone willing to live on a boat full-time.

Amazing... How different the worlds are, we living on. Golden rule and reality check: NOTHING in boating is cheap or free. Don't let others tell you different. You need at least 120.000 to 200.000 Euros/dollars for a decant vessel to call home. The maintenance and slip fees are super expensive. Not even to mention insurance, customs, fuel, repairs, yearly dry parking and of course a place to rent for the off season. If you don't have at least 2500 a month in your pocket, don't even think about getting on a boat. Your health insurance must be secured already. For normal people in short: Work your a$$ off at least for 38 years. Hope you're health doesn't go in to the ditch. Make your "captains" licence get a vessel and start cruising. Watch those nice easy breezy videos from people who are always happy, no worries and some how have it all. On top have the fundings to buy all kinds of crap and simple wonder how in the world they "advice" others of reality. Me, those videos make me Nauseous and sometimes even angry. The truth will shine. At least for those poor people who watch those videos and take them serios. If you are looking to get in to sailing the world, there are a handful video makers on RU-vid, who show the REALITY without all that nonsense. Just my two cent.

Congratulations, shorter video then 15 minutes.

I don’t think this course will be about how to sail high latitudes, but on how to get started and become a full-time liveaboard. And that’s something they have eight years of experience with.

She look like 1 of those a.i. robots sitting in boat talking

I feel so sorry for you that you have had to put up with negative naysayers, that single handedly seem to have acquired ALL of the knowledge of the sea. I take it that you are offering to pass on your experience gained, in a professional manner. You have invited us into your lives and always warm my heart with your exploits. Thank you so, so much. (Me? 60 to 70,000 ocean and coastal miles, 30+ years ocean racing, Sydney to Hobarts but no Pacific or Atlantic crossings, so still much to learn.)

😡 Promo sm

Eh, when I see white lady, and super nice 500k house I'm out. Easy for people making hundreds of thousands to sail the world
