Sailing Safar Ep10 - Safar, IMOCA's & The Ocean Race. 

safar and imocas. best of both worlds!

Hey, love your videos! So you've gone to work on a ship for some time now I hear. I'd love to see the journey back to Safar from your work place as part of your next video!!! Just a thought! Enjoy!

A really great episode. The 'sound of sailing' and those full sail shots...magical !! Never tire of these.

I like your mind thinking about the bow thrusters. I share the same thoughts. I don't have a bow thruster. Many sailors become so accustomed with them and they rely on them and with time their docking technics become reliable pretty much only with a bow thruster.

Another great video, thanks for posting

It could very well be a special kind of schrimp making that sizzling noise. I have experienced in the Med several times. First time I suspected an electrical failure that could lead to fire 🤪. But no worries it’s just ocean creatures 😉

Hi Morgan , years ago I sailed my Dufour Arpege to the Med and encountered the same thing and thought the worst. Happily though it’s explained as small animals , plankton? In the water and it sounds like snap crackle and pop in the bilges - worry not!

Great video. A controlled bunch of horses working in a common goal is referred to as a team of horses. A herd of uncontrolled horses referrers to a random group collective without a common goal grouped together...

I'll take Safar over any IMOCA everyday and twice on Sundays. Another brilliant video thanks!

Another cracking episode. Shrimps can make a crackling noise through the hull. Especially in warmer waters. You did well planting the boat into that berth. I think a lot of boats use bow thrusters as a crutch and not an aid, to make up for lack of close quarter manoeuvring skills.

I was driving home from my boat this evening and i came to think of your RU-vid channel,,, and i wondered why you hadn't uploaded any videos lately... so when i came home i looked at my list of channels I do subscribe to,,,, and i could not find your channel... luckily I removed the name of your vessel, so I managed to search it up an noticed that I was no longer subscribed 🤔 well its all sorted now, won't miss the next one. Grate stuff . Best regards from Jarle

Another great episode - nifty bit of parking without your thruster last minute!

Sometimes in the med a black muddy bottom can produce this bubbles. Another great video!

In my experience, surfing and sailing, that fizzing happened at several locations. The only thing in common was pollution, sewerage!

I hope you're taking some really good high definition photos of the beautiful location you're visiting.

Could the sound be originating from inside the boat? The one time I ever heard such fizzling sound is made by sand running inside a bamboo rain making music instrument.

At me or is a salt water lagoon so fizzling sound was probably a result of higher salt content in the water

Depth sounder maybe?

Funny how often American youtube sailors refer to the med as an ocean (they know it is not an ocean but I guess it comes automatically for them since they live between two oceans) while you as an English man not only you don't refer to it as an ocean, but you just compare it with the ocean.
