    I have seen many sailing ⛵️ videos. Therefore, I'm not surprised people cross the oceans in small boats or even motorless. What amazes me is how someone could handle this sort of voyage mentally.

      You try to prepare for whats coming ! You know that youll be alone for some time befor you leave :P for me one reason i did this trip was to find out how i would get along with myself for this long and it was a great experience !!! if your not interested in this kind of experience i wont recomend leaving n a voyage like this :P

    Amazing! Found you on the other YT channel that interviewed you, incredible feat and very inspiring. I have tons of questions and can't find a website for this project that explains everything, for example about how you got this boat equipped and learned to sail etc, only these few YT videos which are very short and abbreviated and do not have much details. (For example, what model of windvane is that?) Anyway, wil be watching all of these videos of yours, small boat sailing intrigues me tremendously! Also cool that you are a paragliding guy, I've been a commercial pilot all my life but am retired now and planning to get back to sailing and fulfil the lifelong dream I had of sailing the seas. Plus learning to paraglide. So thank you for the inspiration!

    I expect the trade wind will blow you along at more than the average of 3nm/day but surely it will still take you 20-30 days to cross Atlantic. What nav equipment do you have and does the boat have space for water, fuel & provisions? How rough do the wind/seas need to get before you are very worried?

    Very cool. But how is your boat able to stay on course while you sleep? I noticed you didn't use any navigation lights at night. Why is that?

    • @sailing.oneworld
      @sailing.oneworld  2 года назад +1

      I have a windvane selfsteering which does all the steering day and night :) and in German law you dont need nach Lights below 7m/23ft vessels :D

    • @outlawflyer7868
      @outlawflyer7868 2 года назад +1

      I am still confused about the windvane. I get it works off the wind, but it sets you in the direction of the wind only correct? And I get that in Germany, you don't need nav lights. But you was crossing the Atlantic and not having nav lights and being so low in the water kinda made it dangerous especially at night. It's still cool what you did though.
