Great episode! Loved the drone footage and the 360 footage!
@@daveleech5971 thank you! Glad you liked it!
😁
@@mgrDonosiciel 😁😁😁
Thanks for sharing. I will sail around Usedom this summer. The so called sunny German Island.
@@kerstinshadow2210 that will be fun and hopefully you do get some sun!!!
Amazing! Were getting more excited on what awaits us when were done rebuilding our 65' power catamaran!
@@ExtraordinaryHorizons lots of exciting adventures I hope!
@@AlexGoesSailing Thank you so much and Thanks for following our journey 🔥❤️🔥
Alex!! I hope beautiful "Mingulay" didn't hear you call her a "thing". After all the work you put into restoring her, creating a unique launching system, Mingulay must be the best working example of a Telstar 28 this side of the Atlantic! Come on Alex, you know you love that sail-boat lol! And why wouldn't you, she has given so much enjoyment to yourself and many of your friends. Thanks for taking us, that are too bloody old to ever see the places that Mingulay take you. Kindest regards Alex. From Bob, in land-locked Swindon ❤👍⚓
@@ElectroRiderSN thank you Bob! You’re right about Mingulay! She is the best example on one this side of the Atlantic because she is the only one this side of it 😂. She has taken me on some of my most favourite adventures yet. Shame this is the last adventure on her though. Thanks again bob!
Great one Alex enjoyed the sailing and touring shots. Will we see Daniel gain soon ?
@@jeffweston7465 thank you! He will be in the next adventure!
I could only dream of having the adventures you do. Another great video.
@@Toby-r7f thank you! You should have some adventures of your own!
Don’t like it much.
Astounding video Alex, informative and entertaining. We all learned something that I am having a lot of trouble accepting. Alex has friends, who would have thought ?
first
Thank you!
Wow looks beautiful 👍
@jackgoresailing thanks!
Really beautiful spot thanks for showing us around.
@@dcallan812 glad you enjoyed!
Hi Alex. I have been watching your videos for awhile mostly because I am interested in getting a trimaran. I like the idea of being able to trailer my boat and have enough room on it to do some overnight trips as well. Of course, trimarans are a lot of fun to sail too. I found one like yours for sale near me, but this time of the year is not good to really check the boat out thoroughly. I have taken a look at it, but waiting for it to get a little warmer to get it out and see how it handles. it is 2008 Telstar 28 - $49,000. I am in Southern New England in the U.S. Anything in particular I should be watching out for? Thanks, I really enjoy your RUclips, Earl
@@LyingAroundwithEarlo might be best to have a call to go over everything. Send me an email or message on instagram.
loved the video Alex . You really are pretty good at this . Love your kiwi crew member too 👍
@@lucyfitzgerald-w8i thank you my upside down crew member😀🇳🇿
Your so cool! Can't wait to start an adventure when were done refitting our 65' power catamaran!
@@ExtraordinaryHorizons thank you! That will be brilliant!
@AlexGoesSailing Always Welcome and thank you so much for following our journey ❤️🔥❤️
au top !
@@jean-pierrepappe5947 indeed!
Great video. Wow crazy tidal range
@@ianbell5611 thank you! They’re quite massive!
Ive been waiting for this video , we were the only other boat in St. Brelade. Saw you come in and push up towards the beach. I can just make our boat out in the background.
@@podger36 that’s awesome! Should have come over and said hi! I can definitely get into the shallows further than most 😄
Hi Alex never know who will accompany you on your sailing trips male/female always interesting videos. Is there still a new boat coming?👍👍👍
@@jeffweston7465 I like to keep it interesting! Glad you enjoy them as always. New boat video will be coming as soon as this channel crossing trip is done. So I’m guessing 4 more episodes 🤔
Love the details you guys shared❤ Were on doing a major refit on our 65' power catamaran and can't wait to start our adventures!
@@ExtraordinaryHorizons that’s brilliant! Glad you enjoyed and hopefully you get on the water soon!
@AlexGoesSailing Thank you so much!
@@ExtraordinaryHorizons thank you!!!
@AlexGoesSailing Always Welcome and Thanks for following our journey 🔥❤️🔥
Cheers Alex! Really appreciate you taking us along on your nautical adventures. I know there is a lot of work involved with gathering footage and editing to make these thoroughly enjoyable videos. Thanks Alex. ❤👍⚓
@@ElectroRiderSN thank you I really appreciate it! It’s definitely worth it in the end and I do get a lot of satisfaction making them! 😁
@@AlexGoesSailing What more rocking 👍👍
@@jeffweston7465 indeed!
Great video 👌
@@danialsentance3760 thank you!!!
😬
@@mgrDonosiciel 😁
7m tide, I'm used to 1m max at mudeford 😂
@@fat_tommo_goes_boating yeah it’s quite wild!
Are those public mooring balls or do people own them?
@@davidrockefeller2007 some are public and some you have to pay for. It’s an honour system and the details to pay are at the dinghy dock!
What are the brackets you have on your Solar panels ? could solve a problem i have, nice video btw :)
@@alecmartin2661 I designed and 3d printed them myself! Thanks for watching!
This needs to be on our bucket list! We are doing a major refit on our 65 catamaran and would absolutely start our adventure soon!
@@ExtraordinaryHorizons where are you sailing from?
@AlexGoesSailing Eastern Coast Of Florida!
@ that’s awesome! I will get there one day!
@@AlexGoesSailing Awesome would be glad to have you here!
Where can one find the plans for this boat?
@@NobodyReport I haven’t seen any. Buts it’s called a Telstar 28!
Another great video. Guessing Helena enjoyed the adventure of saing across the channel and the sightseeing . Well done Alex Cheers
@@ianbell5611 thank you Ian! Indeed she did. Such an interesting place to visit. Thanks for watching!
Go alex
@@pixiehorse 😁
G’day Alex….very much enjoy your vids….can you introduce your crew…Nikita, the girlfriend/s & your brother….it would be great to know them a little better/more….cheers from Cairns, Australia
@@MrNatural thank you! I can try to but just depends on how much they want to be on camera really. Bet the weather is much nicer in Australia.
Hi, When was this?
@@martin5504 June last summer!
I used to sail when spinnakers had poles but they all seem to be attached to the bowsprit these days! What type of spinnaker was that?
@@donotwantahandle1111 asymmetrical spinnaker. The symmetrical ones use the poles. Just a bit more work to use them.
Great post Alex enjoyed the sailing and touring. Helana was amazing for her first sail no sea sickness 😎😎
@@jeffweston7465 thanks Jeff! Plenty more to come think I will have the next one up on Sunday!
Sounds like you just missed beating the predicted arrival time. Was the app that smart it was able to predict the winds would be bad, or did it just get lucky? Seems like if you had just an hour more of spinnaker you would have beaten the prediction.
@@dansullivan6911 I always set it to under predict mostly because that’s what my luck with the weather is like. If I had the spinnaker up for longer and didn’t have to motor the last third then I would have beaten it! Always good to under predict though!
On my bucket list to sail across the channel! Just need a bigger boat first 😅
@@jordy46682 how big is your current boat?
@@AlexGoesSailing 3.75m inflatable sailing dinghy (DinghyGo Orca) sounds weird but it's actually awesome if you don't live near anywhere you can sail! Would really like a small bilge keeler (Leisure 23SL perhaps) for the near future or a trailer sailer with lifting keel.
@ oh nice they do look really cool. Hopefully you can find something a little bigger soon enough!
😁
@@mgrDonosiciel 😆
Nice to see the spinnaker out if only briefly. Beautiful scenery too.
@@dcallan812 it was so good to use it!
Looks like a great day for sailing. Everytime I try to go out it's blowing a gale 😂
@@Sailing_Reality the weather has a mind of its own!
Very good . Enjoy your trip.
Thanks! 😃
😁
@@mgrDonosiciel 😁
This just looks insane!! What month were you there, looking at heading there this year but unsure on what time to go!
@@Archie-q2j end of July! Was a good time for it. Just have to keep an eye out for the weather window!
Alex, what’s that app you are using for monitoring your anchorage? You said the name but I didn’t catch it. Thanks! Really enjoying your adventures!
@@Olygreener Vircru! Thanks for watching and I’m glad you like and enjoy them!
Good video as always, looking forward to yhe channel crossing
@jackgoresailing thank you! Just editing it now!
Hi Alex, do you carry a liferaft? If not, it may be worth considering how quickly you can inflate and get in the dinghy, particularly with going across the Channel. Before I could afford, or cared about(!) a liferaft we always used to keep the dinghy half inflated on deck. This being on the basis that we might get the other half pumped up pretty quickly and, if not, at least we had half to hang on to if the boat sunk in a hurry! Certainly best not to tow it, as it flips over, or carry it fully inflated on deck as it always tries to escape in heavy weather.
@@chriscockell no life raft but it does have one in the shed. Main reason for not carrying it is weight and room. I can get the dinghy inflated so fast now with the new pump and even manually. Also having a tri you will definitely have the time to pump it. Also have my epirb ready to go! It’s definitely an interesting conundrum.
Yeah, I'd be towing that dinghy fully inflated especially on a open ocean just in case the tri flipped and you need the dinghy straight away!
Great update from "Alex's Learn to sail school " look forward to the channel video
@@jeffweston7465 how to motor I think it should be!
exellent video. love the boat, whats the story behind the name ?
@ciaranpeterson9422 the second owner imported her to Scotland from America and changed the name to the second to last outer Hebridean island. He always wanted to sail there but never got the chance with his age. He then sadly passed on and the boat got sold. I then did the trip to the island and completed it for him and managed to get in touch with his widow and shared some pictures which she really enjoyed!
@AlexGoesSailing thanks for the reply, I'm from the outer hebrides hence my curiosity 👌
@ no problem! Will hopefully see you next time I’m up that way!
You did well to get a pint in the Bank's arms. Last time I was in there, the staff were so slow, I walked out before I fell asleep and went back to the boat 😂
@@fat_tommo_goes_boating I actually went to old Harry’s bar! Was actually really good so you might like it as an alternative!
@AlexGoesSailing never been there! 🫣
@ well now you have another reason to get out on the water!
@@AlexGoesSailing I don't need much excuse 😁
@ neither!
Great update 👍
@@dcallan812 thank you!
Look forward to seeing you sailing and visiting the channel Islands
@@joewilliams5396 it’s going to be a fun one! Weather was not as predicted as usual!
