    Tapio really warmed up by the end of the video! Please thank him for doing the interview in English!

    @manuelve1998 Год назад +78

    Wow. What an interview! I could listen to more of this man’s sailing story. He seems well prepared and yet still almost didn’t make it out of that harrowing experience. And yet willing to share the pain of his loss in such a candid way. ✌️

    What a very frightening experience Tapio had. The will for survival was strong and so glad he survived it. In a way it makes you wonder what hit his sail boat. Very good interview and I wish him and his crew a safe and successful race. Texas.

    Great episode Juho. What a treat with the Tapico interview and to hear his best thinking on the catastrophic sinking of his vessel during the Golden Globe Race and to get a complete tour of his current vessel.

    The 'limit' you say you've reached in your video production is actually pretty damn high, Juho. After all, it's mostly about the content! Great interview with, Tapio - and his new boat is impressive. Best wishes to him and his crew, for a safe and successful OGR.

  • @johncampbell388
    @johncampbell388 Год назад +7

    So glad to hear from Tapio again. I look forward to following his upcoming race. I almost wish I could be on his team but it's much harder to go around the world than he lets on...

  • @davidc6510
    @davidc6510 Год назад +15

    Juho this was a really great interview. Tapio's OGR experience was amazing - the sailors that participate in that race are incredible and to get a first hand interview of a critical event is a very sobering experience for a sailor. That modified Swan 55 is so awesome - those yachts are just beautiful. Good luck on the extra help with editing. I think you are doing a great job but there is always room for improvement. Thanks for sharing.

  • @seanhanlon5867
    @seanhanlon5867 Год назад +9

    The difference between that Blue Water Yacht and whats for sale, and Claiming blue water are like night and day..i realise hes going racing, but even just the handholds, sleeping arrangements really should be a lesson to all..fantastic boat and a real eyeopener of a story about what could go wrong. Thanks for that, it made it very real for me.

  • @joesmith1142
    @joesmith1142 Год назад +2

    This is one of the most interesting sailing videos i have ever watched, maybe the best. I could have listened to Tapio for hours. What a gracious Man and such a wealth of real world knowledge. It must have been heartbreaking to loose his sailboat, but its a risk we all face i guess no matter how well prepared we are, or how well we think out sailboats are prepared. Fantastic! Thank you Juho and Sohvi.

  • @studiobivouac
    @studiobivouac Год назад +2

    ❤ I own a S&S Swan, 41ft, and I love to follow your videos and adventures. But this one is special to me as the 55ft is a bigger version of my boat that I renewed entirely. So it is super interesting to see Tapio’s version of it! THANK YOU SO MUCH for this gem! ❤

  • @MicBruise
    @MicBruise Год назад +2

    Really nice to see a true blue water boat, instead of the anchor queens we usually see, with their roller skating rink salons. I love his philosophy of deliberately making the interior (and the cockpit) cramped. It reminds me of that old saying: "You can't fall off the floor."

  • @sbgroen
    @sbgroen Год назад +11

  • @edgarmuller6652
    @edgarmuller6652 Год назад +1

    What a beautiful boat. Reminds me of a Swan 44 I was part of the crew in my youth, my first blue water sailboat, that was sailed around the Caribbean and the owner sailed it twice around the world.
    Thanks for the show.

  • @UriahGiles
    @UriahGiles Год назад +3

    Juho, I'm gonna have to beg to differ with you about the quality of your videos. I honestly would prefer that you don't change a thing in how you express yourself in your work. That is specifically why I look forward to watching each new release. If I wanted to watch a polished, professionally produced video then I would just go to cable TV. Polished and professional is unfortunately also boring and impersonal. Please don't change a thing man, you're doing an amazing job serious. I wish I could have gotten in touch with you guys when you were here in California. I would have really liked to help out getting the boat ready to go north. I'm pretty sure that I was real close to where you were at. Anyways thanks for this cool diversion from the normal style of video. What a crazy story! I don't think that he could have done much of anything more to make sure the boat was absolutely bullet proof yet he still sank. The ironic thing is that the guy who just jumps in an old Catalina and sails off with a couple of friends who don't know anything about sailing, doesn't have any problems at all.

  • @UnPetitPique

    Can I add that I have zero problems with your editing. Your videos are the most magical nature, sailing, skiing escape I've ever encountered. You might be undervaluing yourself.

  • @sietuuba
    @sietuuba Год назад +3

    That's a pretty boat! I sort of followed both of Tapio's Golden Globe races and that "least unprobable" scenario does sound like a reasonable explanation for the unlikely damage that must have occurred for such a fast sinking. Only a lightning strike causing a steam explosion within moisture in a laminate could possibly compete but the weather at the time rules it out. That Swan is very pretty; the team will no doubt have a grand old time on her. I don't know a thing about sailing but that entryway arrangement seems very practical and something I would mimic if I were refitting something. Just like the mudroom of a home on land. Thanks for the tour and interview!

  • @hayabusa8184
    @hayabusa8184 Год назад +2

    One of the best videos Ive watched not only on your channel, but on RUclips all together. Great to watch two Finnish legends in one video! Hearing Tapios account of the loss of Asteria was a bit sad. But thanks again for the upload 👍🏼

    What a interview! That’s the best interview I’ve ever seen anyone do on a utube channel, it’s perfect for everything else that’s happening now with the “performance” part of Sailing (racing) and personally I’ve done some research about Kristin’s boat “mene -haha” (sp?) & on that race and his accident, so I was amazed to see it was him & you asked all the right questions that I wanted to know about likewise, I imagine other people are thinking the same thing about “different questions”. You did a phenomenal job of getting the real story, by letting him take his time and tell it, instead of rushing him or asking questions that weren’t relevant. Thanks, I’ll be looking forward to your next crossing, I’m hoping to see you both in another video when you cross paths……

    I went to see the OGR race village todays and had the liberty to meet captain Tapio and was welcome aboard Galiana.
    I can confirm that not only is she the most beautiful yacht in the OGR fleet. But also the best smelling yacht I visited today 😅😅😅

    Impressive interview and at the same time very educational!
    Hearing what Tapio experienced with his incident on his Asteria, one could say that the saying is very true - hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Happily he is still here to tell his story. We all could and should learn from his experience. Cheers, H.

    We may never come to your part of the world and the places you travel. Your videos are outstanding, as is the music, astounding beauty, your calmness under stress, drone videos, skiing, and just your personalities, which doesn’t cover it. Facing the elements gives such a vicarious experience to those of us on the sidelines. Thank you so much. We can only support you as retired folks in our 80’s by watching.

    I am lucky enough to have a Swan 47MKII.. I have spent the last 2 years bringing her back to life. She is setup for singlehanded sailing. She is strong beyond belief and I just love the boat. I can't say enough about old Swans. But to those considering an old Swan be prepared to get you hands dirty or pay for a ton of work to be done. But the end result is a noble boat. Best of luck Tapio!!

    This is a special video, I tour Tapio's Swan 55, which is entering the Ocean Globe Race (around the world). The race is starting tomorrow Sunday 10th of September. Tapio himself has experience from three other round-the-world races, two of them solo aboard his Asteria in the Golden Globe Race. We take a look at some of the features that make this Swan 55 specially suited for real bluewater sailing. In this video we also talk about how Tapio's previous boat Asteria sank and what we could all learn from that.
    Hope you enjoy, and if you are not into boat tours and watching me and Tapio blabber along, I'm happy to tell you that the next video will have some really epic sailing again!
