A truly wonderful channel! Here I am at 67 going on 35 years, little resources and have been trying in my own mind to fully realise `the dream`. By pulling these channels and their beautiful people with real world thoughts and objectives together you have created a Eureka moment for me. I`ll be on the water within a month if all goes well (Don`t have a boat yet!) Thank you all so much, following you all the way! x

12:57 Wind Hippie with the bong rips

Thanks again for the feature! We love our little boat ☺️

I live on a 25ft Atlanta 24. small is awesome i just need the incentive now to sail away and live my dream. best move I've ever made xx

this compilation is very well thought of. it's not repetitive. instead each story accentuates an aspect of liveaboard sailing and different ways in which different people deal with similar problems

"The Adventures of Tarka" channel is awesome.

When these boats were built they were the big boat. Lyn and Larry Pardee cruiser the world in 22 and 27 foot boats. The advertising for my Cape Dory 27 states its a world cruiser. What has changed is people's expectations. Honestly, I don't want anything bigger she's all that I can manage. Bigger boats just mean more work, more money and more crew. My CD 27 is my forever boat.

Don't blame you--a Cape Dory 27 might be somewhat light on creature comforts, but that Carl Alberg design is one tough little nut. I'm not sure I'd want to try crossing an ocean in one, but that's mostly to do with the size of the freshwater tanks, and not a knock on the boat itself.

Thirty foot is the kind of length I'm looking for and am interested very much in Alberg designed boats. There's been a lot of dangerous misleading advertising, with boat companies calling their vessels blue water. Vessels with bolt on keels and flimsy unprotected rudder. Corner cutting, not only on design level but on the factory floor. Workers on their last shift on a Friday doing the hull laminate in a hurry and preparing it way too hot, leading to layers that come apart. Etc etc

First, it's "Pardy." Second, their boats' length on deck were 24' and 30' respectively. Size of sailboats is measured by displacement, not length.

Great overview. I like sailing channels with smaller boats more than those with larger and more expensive boats. Sailing Magic Carpet is one of my favorites.

A worthy video!!! There are so many big boat videos out there that it’d be easy to get discouraged. I live in a 28ft boat and the advantages out way the disadvantages. Expenses; tucking into small anchorages; less stress if you have to sail unexpectedly engineless and less stuff to maintain are to name just a few advantages.

After owning 8 boats (from25ft-40ft) I have decided, that every boat has a function, small is cheap, easy, but is cramped with limited capacity.In contrast larger boats usually sail better (depending on design of course) have comfort, water, fuel,and range. But I think the most important thing is purpose.

Proves the point that you do not have to have a 40 foot plus boat worth half a million with air con, showers, fridge freezers and water makers and a massive amount of electrical gadgets to sail the world and enjoy it. Go small, go now.

Thank you!

Great video really good info thanks sailors cheers fair winds calm seas

Awesome but scary.

Great video, using a pressure cooker as an oven works in a small space. The Bahamas is the perfect cruising ground for a small boat.

excellent vid.

cal 2-27 for almost 30 years. We travel the inside passage between Seattle and Glacier Bay each summer, winter at a marina in puget sound. A great galley, lotsa counter space, refrigerator, and good storage, fold-down table that will feed four, huge for the two of us, two settees that give each of us our space, head and stateroom kinda combined, so no shower, but roomy, bed that one can sit down on, easy entry,egress without kicking the partner , expensive 8 inch thick mattress, cause almost one third of our life is spent there. Boat handles easy, not great to windward, but sneakily fast downwind. Diesel, 5knots under power, six knots or a bit better with good wind. Equivalent to a circumnavigation in miles traveled. Been a good time. At the moment weathering winter in the teens,F., comfy and warm in our insulated home.

Another great video. Thank you for creating. Hopefully we get good enough to feature in one of your productions in the future.

Thanks

Excellent

Lol. Thanks again for the great content. I have a whoooole new appreciation for the time and care it takes to create these episodes!

IMAGINE LIVING IN A SPACE NOT LARGER THAN 400Sq FEET, lmao, im living like that

You could add Sailing Brititaly and Sailing Cadoba (their dog is cute) to the list too.

I figure you'd be a good place to start. I am working my way towards buying a big French catamaran, sailing around the world, having amazing adventures. While most cruisers apparently spend 90% of their time at anchor, I hope to keep this to less than 80%. I love the sea. (During a lesson we were on some decent sized seas. Just to see, I went below and laid down on the settee. I absolutely loved it. I wanted to fall asleep.) However, an important part of my plans is No KZread channel. I don't need an extra income (or the fantasy of making money), don't want to spend the time or make effort. Of course if I come across something amazing that I record I'd like to share it. (This raises another issue. If I record something interesting and don't already have a following - no one is ever going to see it.) Are there any KZread sailing channels made about, but not by, the sailors, sailing, cruisers, etc..? An example is Kristen Dirksen who has an amazing channel about interesting, mostly tiny, houses. She finds the most fascinating people, houses, projects and knows how to shoot them, what questions to ask, etc... I don't think anyone has any idea where or in what she and her family lives. Thanks. Enjoy your videos. In a sense you're sort of covering some of this. (What you might consider is 'interviewing' cruisers, but instead of getting on Zoom and hi, how ya doing? you send out a list of questions and requests. Like, how often do you run your engines? Are they noisy and do they stink inside the cabin? Can you shoot some video showing your start up procedure? So they answer the questions but also submit some video. ) Just thinking out loud. Thanks.

Check out O’Kellys recent video on KZread creation. They were with Living Hakuna and both commented it takes easily 20-30 plus hours per week just to edit their videos. Also RAN sailing recently commented similarly in an interview. The not having a KZread channel is probably the best approach. I can imagine at one point some distain from other cruisers when they see all these sailing KZreadrs floating around filming themselves (eye rolls). The compilation this week will be on catamarans so hoping you’ll enjoy the watch. As for interviews, that is definitely the intention but has been put on hold during covid. Delos did some excellent other boat interviews and look up slow boat sailing. Has a great interview from a few years back with Barry Perrins. Really appreciate your comment and support and looking forward to knowing which French Cat you end up with ⚓️

@@SailingChannels Thanks. Clearly being a good KZreadr takes a lot of work. Every mention of editing is about the incredible time it takes. The O'Kelly's are great, but that 3-4 hour set up for that cute business on the beach? I'm sorry they went to all the trouble. (Someone to learn from: Buster Keaton. They'd go out in the morning maybe with an idea for a gag, but mostly they pretty much make it up on the spot. Comedy should always appear effortless.) Another aspect. KZreadrs spend a lot of time selecting music. Sometimes they get it spot on, but often, especially beginners it's awful. (Most available music is not anything anyone would ever select to listen to while they're sailing. The things you would listen to are all copyrighted and expensive to use.) I've studied movies for, well all my life - I'm 65. What I see in KZread is the medium rapidly evolving, in many cases better, in some worse. A lot of those videos people put a lot of time into editing are not going to make it over the long run -just because of bad music. (Also, we don't see the old bad movies and bad television, so when we see clips that seem dated and corny - in almost all cases this was at the time the good stuff.) The thing about monetizing is that a good video should make even more money over the following years then it made the first days, weeks, months. (This is the Long Tail. Worth understanding.) Tom Patchett made the TV show Alf. Don't know what he made during the initial run, but he sold syndication (reruns) for 500 million. Have you even heard of this show? (I never watched it once, but I photographed his art collection) Looking forward to the Cat video. My sights are set on Outremer, and I've saved up, but I just saw a video saying that a boat costs double its list price to be blue water cruising ready. That might've just chopped ten feet off my dream. And in all the brochures it seems only the fastest boats actually get around to mentioning speed. So multi-hulls it's the Neel Trimarans.

@@SailingChannels Hummm, it actually addresses the issue, "Why we sail...!" Yet, being a newbie to this wet world of live-aboard sailing, I'm glad there are KZread video makers like yourself from which I am gleaning so much valuable information before I make the big boat purchase plunge! Thank you!

10:15 I didn't see you there :D in the cockpit of a 27' boat :D I guess the cameraman was trained by the CIA :D

Just put a down payment on a 27' Lancer yesterday. Not the motor sailor. Just a conventional skiff i think with a 15hp Merc 2 stroke out board. I'm a big proponent of minimalist living. Honestly, what could be better than having just enough to be comfortable with not much to clean in a home you can travel the world?

Some great channel Suggestions You should also check out Cactus Sailing in the UK they sail a 30ft modern boat and their vids are always interesting, defo one to watch

There are hardly any "small" cruiser yachts you can buy new or nearly new left in Europe. The 1960s,70s,80,and 90s used stock is fast diminishing. Nowadays sailing has all but eliminated the common man, as boats are now up to ten times the price they were per foot compared to just ten years ago and three times the size, moorings are gold dust and marinas cost a fortune. Even a humble winch can only be purchased new for ridiculous prices. Just as with aeroplanes and gliders sailing is now largely the pursuit of the super rich even for a modest craft. The boats here represent a dying breed - but it's good to see that they are still being used.

I'm about to save my Lil money and leave Arkansas for the sea.

Nice Chinese painting there

Great video, Nice boat, and not small s At all. Can yoy please tell me - boay type and size?

Not really minimalist but still an excellent set up

Most the sailing channels are only living aboard for the trip...extended vacations..its like calling people on a summer RV trip vehicle lifers. Many of the channels have an actual home because most come from more money than 90%+ of their viewers and pateons. Note I said most...not all.

With 5k subscribers? You’re delusional. It’s not your fault, rather capitalist programming.

I do wish people would stop referring to yachts, vans, trucks, cargo and travel trailers as Tiny Houses, because they're not! The term Tiny House referred to miniature houses which were constructed on heavy duty, commercial grade trailers, and which had the traditional appearance of houses, but in miniature! However, as interest in tiny houses grew, the term started being applied to virtually anything the seller thought might gain greater interest if it was described as being a tiny house. So there are small dinghies with thin plywood cabins being called tiny houses, and car sized vans called it too! The Tiny House originator, Jay Schafer, built beautiful miniature cabin type tiny houses and formed Tumbleweed Tiny Homes to sell plans or finished homes. As can be seen, the misuse of the term bugs me!

I hate glass and ceramic on sailing boats. Why saiilers don't use stainless steel or aluminium in kitchen I will never understand.

Meanwhile I have a job.
