Hello love your films , you are calm and very knowledgeable, you helped me with some advice on passaging through the Menai straights last summer in a RIB . Your advice was very welcome and perfect. We were moored in conwy marina for a week and went to Caernarfon every day we loved it ! We were so lucky with the weather too . We’re looking out for you . We are going back in June for another week , thanks again , hope to see you on the water :) .
loving all your videos lots to go back on and plenty of tips and knowledge you give great for learning ,i can see why you like to just settle let the wind take you more comfort less hassle working lines adjusting this that and the next every fee minutes to try and get the maximum outof the boat you got the right idea take it easy and enjoy the water the waves the scenery and of course the brew up
Hi Nobody, it’s all about getting the most from what you got. Learning to enjoy the day for what is is rather than what you want it to be. There are however days that just won’t work for one reason and another, there sent to try us and of course there are race days to keep you on your toes. They all end with a nice brew of one type or another 🤪 cheers mike
Another great vid, Mike! Just love the shot on the lee rail watching her shoulder her way through waves. Also, that last shot of Deganwy Marina reminded me of the times as children my mate & I used to spend hours "on the docks" playing but 50 years ago it it was a mud-hole. Chin-chin
Well done Mike, really lovely and helpful videos. I'm lucky enough to have just bought a Mk4 (for comfort!) and your videos and the practical advice in them are already very useful. Please keep posting...
Beautiful sail, I was amazed at how the anchorage calmed down as the tide went out exposing the sand bars, another example of what the difference in the tidal range produces in the area you sail vs where I sail, you explanation and pictures of the charts was very helpful. Also I loved the interior view of your boat with the dappled sunlight, Sea ma chilli is beautifully maintained. I was wondering what all of the lines tied with lark head knots to the life lines are going to be used for, I suppose I will find out on future videos. Great job, I learn something from each of your videos. Thanks
Vary nice. No one buys sail boat to run a diesel engine or go fast. Some people get tricked thinking they want speed but most don't. They want fun and to be comfortable.
I built the hood out of fibreglass with my brother and covered it in canvas work to match the boat. Shape was taken to match the arc of the deck. In fine weather the sides and screens could come out so the air could flow straight through it and offer virtually no resistance. I only did this for two reasons, spray hoods fitted to models I had seen never stopped the rain coming in the companion way and they also never went with the look of the boat. Just my view though because I’m sure there are some well designed hoods out there. Mike
Malahide is a nice place, if I remember correctly there is a nice Chinese overhanging the water. Must go again soon. With all the lockdowns and Brexit I’m not sure where you can go anymore
@@sailingcosiloveit the restaurant is gone a few years it was turned into offices end of 2019. Loved being guided home by the smell of the cooking. Agree love Malahide village and marina staff are lovely. Most likely to be staying in Irish waters this year try get past Baltimore this season 🤞Bantry bay where I first learned to sail with Glenanns at Bere island.
Nice vids and beautiful boat!!...but i like your brother's better... i got an Albin Vega too xD Actually i got her at Dinas Boatyard in Felinheli and i love to see familiar places in your videos... By the way... is that Tarka the one that it was at Dinas too?? Thanks again for your vids, i just hit the subscribed button!
@@libreasotavento6594 Hi Question...Tarka Albin vega 27??? Where. I'll like to hear more about it. I got albin vega aswel . Thanks for the video and fairwinds to all. Greatings from Holland.
Your videos are the best sailing instruction videos I’ve seen yet and that isn’t even your primary purpose. Great videos! Keep making them.
Thanks Chad, glad you are getting lots from them no plans of giving up here mike
What a nice sail on a very well found little yacht! Thanks for that mate.
Welcome
Way To Go Mike! Thanks for another interesting and exhilarating voyage. It's great to 'join' you when you're having such good fun.

Thanks for your kind words Joseph and if you spot me please do say hello but be warned I can talk the leg off a wooden donkey mike
Nice work skipper. I'll come and find your Crabber when I'm next in Daganwy.
You certainly know your crabber mate, good sailing to you. What a beautiful day. "Well Jell"
These days are beautiful but still very cold, not got above 10 degrees yet
Thank you for sharing, it's been greatly entertaining!

HI mate nice vid and channel We've just bought a boat and are leaning to sail right now
Good luck and always check the weather. Mike
@@sailingcosiloveit lol cheers we got a westerly 33
My favourite Westerly the 33
I thought this looked familiar. I used to own 'Greta', Cornish Yawl No.1.
The boat where it all began, congratulations mike
Sounds beautiful once she is in the groove.
All boats are when you find their sweet spot! Mike
Looking forward to getting back to sailing. Still in the yard waiting for the copper coat on keel to be finished weather is not cooperating
Done that been there, feel for you, weather about to turn for the better so won’t be long. Where are you located? Mike
@@sailingcosiloveit Malahide marina Dublin is our home port since 2007 when we bought our westerly fulmar.
Malahide is a nice place, if I remember correctly there is a nice Chinese overhanging the water. Must go again soon. With all the lockdowns and Brexit I’m not sure where you can go anymore
