Sailing Avanti
Добавлен 4 фев 2022
We are a South-African couple that will attempt to circumnavigate over a 2.5 years. Avanti is a 41ft Cape Vickers monohull that will be taking us to some beautiful locations.
We plan to sail on a limited budget from Cape Town to the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal, across the South Pacific Ocean and finally across the Indian Ocean back to South Africa. Watch as we learn through our mistakes, show you countries new to us and review beers from around the world.

Hard living in Richarsdsbay South-Africa EP132
Arriving in South-Africa was not all fun and games immediately. We need to give Avanti some much needed love and care before we travel the country and see family and friends. Things on the hard dont always go as planned, but we made it through in the end.

Sick in bed, binge watching from start to finish. Enjoying this experience with you guys and dreaming that one day I can do the same. Cheers from Blouberg, CT
@@devincorreia7931 welcome to the gang Devin!
Die paint job lyk mooi,
Dankie!
👍
Thanks
First time 1 beer...2nd time 2 bears
Hahaha
I guess you have left RB by now ? Or are you still there ? Where ?
We were in Cape Town for a couple of weeks, but on our way back to Avanti in Richarsday bay next week. Excited about sailing her down to Cape Town soon.
GEEEEEEZ on the bucket but job got done. You may consider next time, to put a plastic bag over the prop for longer time storage, help curb the marine growth.
We were a little scared about doing that, when someone else is looking after Avanti while we are away. Dont want someone else to start the engine in a hurry or emergency and not know about it. We do have someone that is diving Avanti every couple of weeks rather.
What's not to like,,,,, great video as always. Best regards from Jarle
Thank you! Cheers!
👍
Thanks Cliff
Well done!!!
@@brucecarlyon197 thank you
Did you clear out of Madagascar or did I miss that? Congratulations on home waters 👌👊👍👍
Yeah we did clear out, you must have missed it in the Madagascar vids hehe. You need the clear out docs to enter SA.
ZLYC is certainly the nicest club in South Africa for sure. We hauled there twice, the last time in Nov 21 before heading to Cape Town and crossing the Atlantic on our Leopard cat . This we sold in the Caribbean at St Martin as we bought a Catana cat in Thailand and have been in SE Asia since then. Pity you guys rushed past SE Asia, there are many South African sailors out here. Go visit the parks near by, I must say I miss the big animals in the park the most
We would have loved to stay longer but the budget was finished and its time to head home and find work again
Hoop julle het lekker gerus,
Vreeslik!
Why would you give him a South African beer if you loved him, windy corner it is !!!!!
Because he hasn't had one in 2 and a half years
Try Leb on the Bay, they have lovely meals too.
Thanks for the suggestion, will give it a try!
Can I come with you sail again
Sadly with our jobs we won't be able to plan our sailing down the coast long enough in advance to take on crew. We will just jump the plane and sail when the weather and work give us the opportunity to go.
Glad i don't drink alcohol.
Sorry we mention it so much, but isn't it true that we want what we dont have. The past year of sailing and living gin Lombok where there was one restaurant selling beers, we were soooo excited to have options. Its the small things that got us excited about being back
❤. Love to sail to st Helena island. Need a break from South Africa. Do i need a sea worthy cert. I want to build a 8 meter sail boat in Richards . Bay not taking people with me.
It would depend on your insurance, differs in different countries
Welcome back guys!
Thank you!
Wow I am so gealous I am still out of the water here in Uruguay so it will be so e time before I get to have my first bunny I about 5 years.
Only a couple of years to go then!
Haha I will get to Cape Town before the end of January, Durban by March.
South Africa, home sweet home. Some tense moments on the haul out with Avanti swinging back and forth, all good at the end. Can clearly see that you are very excited to be back on home soil, thanks for a beautiful video.
Glad someone saw it too Dana. It was hard to shake the smile off my face.
One of the most friendliest yacht clubs in za. Welcome to home soil where the beer is the best and affordable and the steaks like we like it
Oh forsure! Dont forget the biltong and droewors
Best beer in da World. Congratulations and welcome back on Home soil. No other place better then what Momma Africa offers us.
There is nothing like South-Africa!!
Everything is beautiful, but the most beautiful is in your own home or country. There even your wife brings you your favorite drink, there is no more hiding and pretending to fall asleep. Long live
Haha thank you!
Barbeque? 😅
Haha was worried that some people watching won't know braai. Laughed so much when we were editing this. Just ridiculous
Best bunny chow is at KNK in the small craft.
Exactly where we went! Their samosas hit the spot too!
Well done!
Thank you
Circumnavigation and only need storm jib first time SA coast!
Yes sir, we have been able to avoid strong, up wind sailing until now! But down this coast we might need it more than once.
recently did my stcw hopefully can land a job soon somewhere on a cargo vessel and save up for this ...
We hope so for you too
Well done guys 👌Richards bay Yacht Club is soo cool enjoy.
Thank you!
Welcome back guys!😁
Thank you Harry
Julle is veilig dit is wat belangrik is, welkom trug mense
Ons dankbaar ja
Wow, Wow,
Dankie!
Amazing guys, got rather emotional watching this from the UK. What an awesome adventure and being with you throughout your journey. Thanks Gerard and Jackie ❤
Thank you for joining Patricia. It has been quite the journey hasn't it
Pragtig video, welkom terug in SA, so trots op julle, lekker rus
Dankie Dana!
It's the Agulhas current.
Indeed
I got properly moered crossing the current departing R bay recently, epic sea state
Haha our coast promises for more adventurous days before we arrive home that's for sure
Well done !!
Dankie Gert
Hi I'm glad that you are back safe. Enjoy. Think safe be safe. Well done
Thank you so much, we were glad to get back!
@sailingavanti4902 Hi, it's always nice to get back home but soon the need to get back on a sea adventure starts to call. I've done lots of solo adventures but now I can't anymore due to health issues. I still have a yacht but haven't sailed her in three years now. But I did sail enough to say I did it. I have 88000 NM logged and more than that I'd say unlogged. Started sailing when I was 14 I'm 65 now. So do what you can do while you are young then there's no regret one day. I'm busy building a Bluetooth autohelm at the moment as a project and a model of the Queen Mary 2 which will be a RC model, cabin lights the works. Enjoy.
Congratulations from PYC Durban
Thank you Alan, maybe we will go past there, who knows
Very interesting our yacht Connoisseur has Richard bay on her Transom.she is a strong girl sailing now in Western Australia and I can see why from the ocean you just sailed. Good luck enjoyed your video.🇦🇺
We always hear horror stories about yachts breaking. You really need a strong lady go get through these conditions
Mooi man! Veels geluk en welkom terug.
Baie dankie!
I am preparing for a singlehanded trip across the south atlantic right now, my boat is still out the water here in Juanlecaza Uruguay. Today I will go to Montevideo to braai with my Afrikàns maaities and watch the bokke bonner the english. I love these get togethers we have here but its quite funny as it takes me about an hour to change from spanish to Afrikaans, the first hour I start a sentence in Afrikaans and about half way automatically switch to spanish without knowing. Haha lucky the guys know spanish as well. Its been super fun watching you guys, I just wish I found your chanell earier on. Well done a great effort and three stars for your proffesionalism.
Thank you George. We hope you make it safely on your journey too
Ag nee man! Ek kom nou eers op julle channel af. Ek dink julle sal nog `n lap moet doen om die blou planeet sodat ek kan saam seil. 😂
Haha Jacques, nee nou eers rus hoor. Wel eers in die Kaap kom en dan rus. Daar is wel baie videos vir jou om terug te kyk ;)
Of course I find your account when you’ve just made it back. Congrats on the voyage and welcome home ! ✨ 🇿🇦
Better late than never!
Rule of thumb is when the barometer starts dropping 1 degree per hr, thats an indication shit is going to hit the fan. Prepare. Congratulations on getting home even though you are not in your home port. Bakgat.
Thanks for joining and sticking with us for so long!
Well done 👍👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
Thanks for the trip. Good video.
Thank you for joining
Lekker 🤩. New to the channel but fellow saffer watching. What’s the plans after getting to cape town?
The plan is to haul Avanti, fix her up and leave her in Richardsbay until the summer. We are currently in Cape Town, just found some jobs. Flying back up to Avanti in December to sail her here in the better weather conditions. Once Avanti is in Cape Town we realise we might need to sell her and go back to permanent land life sadly, but also excited about what our next adventure might be. Who knows hopefully we can make it back to life at sea at some point.
Long live ,happy arrival home. p.s now you are on your home field, so you can drink half a beer again
haha yes indeed
God stuff, you are brave and skilled sailors. Stay safe, best regards from Jarle.
Thank you Jarle. Enjoy getting your comments every week
@sailingavanti4902 Well, that is the least I can do. After all the wonderful videos you guys have made for us
