Hey everyone and thanks for watching! Any questions or comments? I'd love to hear them! Remember to subscribe to follow the journey :)
I can translate the Technical French text if you need it. PM me.
How does it feel to finally be on your way in ur New sailing vessel?? Is it more than u expected??
What did you do with the spilled diesel? I've had this problem before and struggled with it.
@@pipersnuki took it to the problem waste station, there's one in each town in Norway :)
I've not seen a boat so well designed for the Arctic since Roald Amundsen went on his explorations.
My only concern would be you that aluminum is a heat superconductor...
That may mean that she gets mighty cold in the ice seas.
I bought a yacht a year ago, it was on land for more than 3 years. Before that, nothing is known. The first descent to the water was just stress. Little leak, up some seal and once again ... first engine start, first rudder deflection... I've done it a thousand times, but on my own yacht that you don't know anything about, it's something special. Who has not experienced it will not appreciate. Good film. Two engines is something I dream about, but on 40feet boat, not possible.
I loved the no nonsense attitude to simply get into the water and sail. Enjoy the journey!
Love the flag dipping. My Dad had fun doing the same on our small scruffy Yacht as we passed a big Naval ship. You could follow the order from the bridge being handed down through the ranks until it got to the Ordinary Seaman at the stern….such fun
Yeah I bet they get annoyed by people doing that.. but that's maybe exactly why we like doing it! :D
@@AlluringArctic there are Urban Myth type stories of people in small sailing dinghies doing it to aircraft carriers
Love your breathtaking sailing & skiing videos! Trying to watch all of them. 😊 Be safe & have a fun time on the water & land. 🙋🏼♀️👍🏻🇺🇸
This is just outstanding...
Excellent. This boat is magic. So cool thanks.
The twin screws also allow you to "walk" the boat sideways. Done it lots. Set the rudders and differential power to walk the stern and bow sideways. It's fun and useful when you get used to it. You will need to use more forward power than you'd expect due to the small rudders. Less so in reverse. You have an awesome vessel there.
Love the flag salute! great to keep old school naval traditions; well done!
Follow your hearts! Congratulations, for the beautiful project, we are rooting for your wellness. From Brazil🙋⛵️🗺
Thank you Iuri and greetings to Brazil! :)
Love the Ketch type boats, and what makes this even more amazing it has sales, and a metal hull for safer travel in cold temps and icy conditions. You just need to ad solar panels to be even more self sufficient.
Just love this boat so much, so many things you two can do with it, you both care about the sea, and planet you could make a difference with this new boat and this platform to share with everyone.
That is the coolest expedition sailboat on youtube! Congrats!
You're a legend. Good luck!
Thanks Stewart and thanks for following along!
quite a beautiful boat you got there. Safe travels.
Arktika sure is an amazing ship. I am so looking forward to the next adventure. Wow! Epic drone shot to wrap up this video. We love you too Juho as well as Sohvi :p Thanks for sharing!
This is magic and your videos, scenary, music and lovely Arktika makes me just happy and relaxed. You are the lucky ones!
Thanks
Wow! Wow! I can’t wait til the adventures begin. Actually, they’ve begun already! What fun!!
thanks Jonathan, glad to have you along!
Awesome, congrats on getting her in the water
Thank you Adam!
For what’s it’s worth , run/draw some oil through the oil change pump system. As diesel will eat away at o rings and lines not rated as such. Stay safe & God bless 🤜
Thanks!
If you are worried about backing the boat around from the lift, next time, just ask the lift operator to turn the boat around before dropping you back into the water. That's what I always did. If the lift only works in one direction on the dock (unlikely), pick the boat up from the other end.
Way to go guys!
Really happy for you and your new adventure beast:)
Great video and exciting adventures ahead.
What a beauty, Arctik
Respect for getting the vessel out of the harbor! I dip my flag 🇦🇹 to you!
Trolling the King of Norway eh! :-) Another good one is when approaching another yacht in a waterway, wait until then are looking at you then slowly pretend to wave at them but turn it into scratching the back of your head or something ;-)
I'll have to try that... you need good timing! :P
Out of all the sailing channels I love this boat the best. Solid as and no frills.
manoeuvres with 2 engines in that configuration in tight spaces is very very good. Once you get used to the "caterpillar" method (using opposing thrusts) you will be able to 360 on the spot.
I noticed this boat in Bodø a few weeks ago while we were waiting for the weather. It has a look you remember. 🙂
Great maiden voyage... Thanks mate!
Awesome and amazing sailing grounds, we look forward to your adventures, from a man who sails an alloy yacht and has survived being crushed in the Antarctic pack in an alloy, they are tuff. Fairs winds
wow, that must be a story! Where exactly was it? We'd like to overwinter in the ice...
Excellent footage. Thank you for taking the time to document and share with us the exciting and frustrating day-to-day activities you are undertaking.
Well Sophie is a darling, but it is more that she says sensible things like, “its midnight, can we go back to the boat now?” And then sticks around when you say “there are so many more berries to pick”. You’ve got to admire that.
Enjoying your videos and love the ship. My great great grandfather was a member of the Fram crew there is a museum in Tromsø that I've visited, looks close to where you were with your ship. Good luck with your journeys.
I couldn't really get a feel for Arktika's lines in the first video, but hanks to your awesome drone shots I can see she is beautiful. I hope you enjoy sailing her.
Safe journeys (I think you have the right boat for that)
by far the best sailing channel.
cant wait to watch all of your adventure
thank you so much for the nice comment and so glad to have you along!
That boat is a beast! Looking forward to seeing more of the Arctic
thank you Jerry. She is. Short dash to south on the Norwegian coast and afterwards we'll be right back north soon!
Much respect ..... thank you for sharing your adventures.
hi Bud, thanks a lot!
Beautiful boat. I look forward to following your journeys...I have viewed most all of your previous ones.
Here’s a comment for the RUclips algorithm. Congrats for getting off the dock. That is a big step!
hi Dale, thanks a lot!
Thanks so much for another fun field trip! Fantasic drone shot for someone who never sees the sea! Looking forward to your winter fun as our prairie blizzards blow!
Great to see you guys moving up in your dreams, looks like a cool, but very complicated boat. We have been travelling many of the same areas as you guys this year, and it has been wonderful to watch your videos, showing places we haven’t made it to, in the same areas.
All the best on your trip, looks epic, and a lot of fun. Take a sewing machine with you, you can make new clothes over winter.
All the best,
The sewing machine guy.
Sailing Tess Bess
So happy for You , From a former sailor ,missing the sea, She is a Great Teacher. God Bless.
Great video, you are both a great couple! What a purposeful boat, I think boats with a distinct purpose are really special and she is special. I have also had a bilge full of diesel when a filter bowl cracked open, just horrible. Fair travels and looking forward to the next video.
Love seeing where you are both at. Love that you share. Thanks
Aww poor Sovi such a lovely face 😍
Dude You seem like a very unusual guy and you sure as hell have got yourself a really unusual boat!!! Good luck with your travels and with the boat. Keep up the good work...refreshing.
thank you, we try to keep it original. I know we're unusual, especially me 😆 // Juho
Vary interesting boat...
I wish you all the luck in the world!
Stay healthy and eat well...
Congratulations on the launch of Arktika! Fair winds
Follow your hearts and your dreams. Good luck and fair winds and following seas!
Good luck, and a safe voyage
So lovely to hear you speaking suomalainen! Such a fantastic sounding language.
Congratulations to both of you and the crew for your a successful launch. Can't quite make out timeline between you purchasing / moving aboard the boat and launching. You've probably got more of us interested in boat particulars than skiing videos; but I'll watch anything you put out - always good quality, beautiful, and interesting. I'll buy you both a beer or two through PayPal sometime, but for now I am bleeding money on life raft, new AIS, et al and budgeting to get my boat off to the Sea of Cortez in November for the next year or two. It's become a conundrum to decide how to support the many worthy RUclips sailing channels I enjoy. Fair winds.
Thank for sharing your days on the boat. I also enjoyed Theo drone footage.
Great Video! I love your candid and honest commentary. Very refreshing. I'm a fan of your channel. Thank you for putting out this original content.
thanks s/v Sirius! glad you like it!
I love your content! She really is a beast of a boat 😍
Thank you Jaki!
Wow so very happy for you an Artika beautiful vessel bigger than the other an so sturdy.... Excited for the journey!!! No I enjoy you both.... Brilliant!!! ✌🏻💗☺️❣️
Congratulations on living the dream! You are an inspiration and we wish you good fortune in all your adventures! I'm very very fond of the Arctic circle, we've traveled for a few days to Tromso and got to see the whales feeding out at sea as well as the northern lights and I'm hoping to tour Svalbard one day on a boat just like yours
Well done on manoeuvring out of the marina, it’s always tricky when your not familiar with the boat!
Neat looking boat. Subscribed to follow your adventures
thanks Mark, glad to have you on board!
New person here... I love the boat! Looks to me as though you have plenty to learn but what a great opportunity! Doesn't matter to me who owns the boat or how it's supported. If you have a love for sailing, you have a great boat and you have a structured plan that you're happy with... things just couldn't be better! Thanks for including all of us in your adventures. I look forward to your next video. Blessings and prayers to you all!
Glad to see you made it out of the harbor safely, thanks for the update!
never sailed.. but love your channel! YOu and sofi have awesome energy.. keep it going!!
Well she won't win any beauty contests, but does look like she could cut an iceberg in half!! lol Looking forward to your new adventures, Juho, and I do like Sohvi just a little bit more because she snowboards and so don't I. :)
hahah, thanks!
If you Google "ARKTIKA Northwest Passage 2013
" you will find a gripping account of how she coped when beset in pack ice in a big swell
A few years back, I had seen a video of this boat shining and it looked amazing...!
Very cosy and yet looking tuff too...:)
Now though...unrecognisable...!
Hope you do your best for her...!
Great video and very hefty boat will be great for the Artic
I can't wait for the new chapters in your adventure, fair winds
wow ! can t wait for a new episode with this amazing boat !
This is so kool. Wow... I cannot even imagine do this...
Love the boat & your videos! Have a safe journey where ever you go !!!
Looking forward to follow your future adventures. There is no other Chanel as yours so im sure it Will grow a lot. Fair winds and thank you for sharing your way of life.
Good clean fun. Now onto more fun and excitement with the worlds most incredible Off Piste skiing! 🇮🇸 ⛷ in a French monster of a boat. Crushing it. Exciting times ahead. 100 turns:) can't wait for the incredible footage!!
Wow this is one strong boat this. The Beast. Built for extreme weather conditions.
That was a nice Splash and Dash
“I trust you, Captain…” 😂😂 That guy does NOT trust you…lol.
Love this channel…subscribed and watching avidly.
Good luck! I hope you will find Floki in Iceland 🙂
Watching from North Western Australia , travelled around Iceland and fell in love with the place. Was heading to Norway before COVID decided to join the population..Hopefully get over soon.. Looking forward to seeing your travels 🌈
Loved the flag greeting. True seafarers!
Congratulations on the new boat. She's what I consider the perfect long range cruising boat. I own a long range cruising Yacht as well, but not as nicely thought out as yours. I look forward to following your future exploits as I am expecting to cruise to the north sea and Baltic regions myself.
Success! See you in the next vid!
She looks like a great boat!
Can't wait to see what you get up too!
We can't wait either! :D
Woohoo!! So excited for the new adventures to come in this beautiful vessel. Lovely week to you and Sohvi!!!🌺🌼🌺
Fantastic boat guys!
It’s wonderful to share this journey with you, now from yacht to ship, and sailor to seaman. Well done
Great video. Real inspiration. Lovely music as well.
Good work can’t wait to see skiing in Iceland as we await winter here in the Tetons. Keep it up it’s good it makes a difference Fair winds
I love the new boat and look forward to following your adventures in her. Fair winds to Iceland...
I am enjoying your adventures very much! Discovered your channel just recently when you bought the boat in S.California. Now going back over your older videos. Well done!
So good¡¡¡ Good winds¡¡¡
I would also like to say that you motor sailboat, looks to be a well built boat. With a little work & getting to know the boat, I bet your going to have a lot of fun filled voyages in the future.
Good luck my friend!
Beautiful ship you have there. It looks like the dinghy is bigger than the old boat. 😂😂👍👍✌️✌️
Great job! I know how much work, time and thought these boats take. Keep up the life you lead. It is so nice to see capable people DOING THINGS!
I am trying to estimate the increase in maintenance costs over the old boat, thinking it must at least double - hoping you do not need to replace a lot of equipment. Amazed that the 10 year old diesel fuel is good, must be the cold weather. Very cool boat.
10 x....!! : (
Cool video thanks. Can't wait to see you cruising
👍 YES, a new boat, to you, has a very steep learning curve. You're doing fine. I too was introduced to a 90' lobster boat (1-year old) as the engineer. The engine room was ALL painted white with NO labels at all. So I kinda know what you went through. 🤯
That sounds like a terrible experience. Engineer as in machines auxiliar or full below deck control kind of charge? Either one most have been a real pain in the back.
Was confusing at first. But, did have its (+) side. Like when the Captain started to be a jerk to everyone, I turned his HOT water off...for a week !
this boat is AMAZING!!!
excellent adventure...following along
