Bermuda 1-2 solo sailing on J/111 BLUR

I needed a personal challenge. Sailing solo from Newport, RI, to Bermuda, was definitely out of my comfort zone, and I wasn't sure if it was a good idea.
My goal was to get there in one piece and to find out what happens in my head when I'm alone in the ocean. It was an amazing experience and I hope to do more solo sailing/racing.

Nicely done Peter. Brings back lots of memories of the race. The start, the fog, the GS and the joy of the finish. Great to meet you and hope to see you on the race course next year - Phil sv Fearless

Thank you so much for helping out and inspiring me along the way. People like you are the reason I love solo and shorthanded sailing. I'll reach out when I'm back in the US:

Great footage, perfect camera angles and a soundtrack as smooth as the sea at 2:35. The usual stuff from Blur, in other words! Thanks for taking us along on the journey and congrats on this great achievement!

Great sailing, well done! It's already quite a handful managing the boat but you also managed to capture great footage!

Awesome story and the commentary makes it easy to put us there. Thanks so much for making this video, I found myself wondering how much effort setting the camera was in some of those shots!

You always need more different perspectives when editing, so something I am trying to get better at this, The "poor mans drone" = long carbon stick taped to the pushpit 🙂

The nice thing is the J/111 was designed for minimal crew, no excuse for the years pf experience though

Great job Mate. Those of us from the area know that cap is a Red Sox cap, not a "B" for Blur - but it works both ways.

I know. Boston is one of my favorite cities, so sailing out of Newport is convenient. Hopefully, I get to catch a game in 2024.

Well done Peter, fantastic achievement, you must be really pleased. And what was the verdict afterwards - never again - or now that you have had time to dwell on it, perhaps, maybe again.

@PeterGustafsson Жыл бұрын

I said before the race, "I hope I hate this" since that would have made my life easier. But I loved it and would like to do it again. Sadly, the next edition in 2025 is at the same time as Transpac, which has been at the top of the bucket list for a while.

Offshore alone with an open transom.

Nice video, but one question came to mind. Have you ever considered attaching your harness in the middle of the boat, so that you can not fall overboard. Now if you fall overboard you will potentially have a slow and painful death?

I usually clip in to windward with a short tether.
