Patrick, it wasn't boring at all. For those interested in extended cruising (especially solo) this is really hot stuff...Thank you. I also like your philosophy and words around being able to rewrite your ending....That really resonates with me as I'm not far off your age and I plan to have at least another 20 years of mucking about on sailboats....keep em coming big fella!

Sir, we need more people like you on KZfaq. Excellent content, with zero hints of ego. Kudos to you for continuing your journey. I'm glad that you take us along with you!

How great it is to see you back!

Chapeau! And so glad to seeing you & and your new boat !

Looks great Patrick, nice to see an elegant solution to the tiller pilot. Fair winds.

Good to see you out on the open water again, Patrick. I’m not a sailor at all, but I thoroughly enjoy your videos. The solitude of your journeys is very compelling for me. If ever we meet, we’re going to polish off a bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. My treat. Rhône valley reds are where it’s at.

So glad to see you sailing again.

So glad to see you back on the water! Looking forward to the ongoing adventures.

Patrick, good to see you back in the water so to speak. Always good to hear about the "boring stuff" as well as the sailing and of course, it's all what sailing's about.

Patrick- so great to have you back! I was genuinely worried that something had beset you! Again- what a refreshing video. I'm never going to own a boat (in fact I've only sailed dinghies in my school days) but I have become fascinated by sailing videos and love to see how the various systems are used to ease the challenge of open water sailing. I'm looking forward to hearing more. Welcome back! You have been missed.

Back on the water and having fun... Just perfect and inspiring.

Good to see you back Patrick! Looking forward to hearing more about the new boat.

Great to see you back Patrick. I’ve watched several sailing ’channels’ for a few years now but I would say that you’re the one that is probably directly responsible for me finally taking the time to get some training & get out on the water. Thanks for the inspiration. 👍

Congrats with Alessia Patrick! You got a lot of projects done already. That's a lot of jewelry for your new love ;-) Good to see you on the water again, fair winds!

I love the upgrades you have made, she is a great boat. Nice to see you out on the water again.

I love the new boat. Can’t wait to see you take her places.

Great video Patrick, was just thinking about you yesterday! Those prices are scary. It's going to be interesting watching you come to terms with the everything, but I understand. "When you stop climbing you're over the hill". All the best.

Like you Said, when reaching à certain level or âge in Life it is time for new challenges isn't it ....! Bravo Monsieur .

thank you for being back . a lot of interesting stuff you are always able to point out. also appreciate your attitude towards sailing

Great to see you back Patrick. Can't wait to see the next chapter unfold!

Great to see you back ! Very curious to see where the new boat leads to....

All those high G manoeuvres have obviously addled your brain😜 giving up a nice comfy cruiser for an expensive racing sled! Good to see you back on the water though, look forward to your further adventures.

Nothing boring about boat work! Necessary and satisfying! Great to see you back Patrick!!

Great to see you again! Love your channel! Cheers from Barcelona!

So nice and happy to see you, Patrick, you know I'm a tech man, so for me, the video was just fantastic. "Fast Lane" will require a lot of physical effort, which is great to keep you in good shape, also, it is "more connected to nature" (sorry my English), with so many things to tweak and trim to make it go fast (I remember my 19ft sailing school boat, the most sophisticated thing was a compass). With all due respect, now you became the old version of another lovely character, Hugo Picard, The sailing Frenchman, who is also dealing with that Mini full of dynnema lines. "I'll be sailing every day for the next two months..." that's one of the most enjoyable things that can happen to a guy like us. And who knows, maybe in the future we can see Alessa reaching A Coruña!!!. Thanks for the video and kind regards.

Just watched this while sailing on the west coast of Scotland ⛵️⛵️

Good to see you back! Good luck with learning the boat! I'm sure it is all exciting. Fair winds!

Yess, New adventure! Good to see you back and healthy

G'day Patrick great to catch up again, we who follow you love everything you do, because we love being involved, even if it's just on You Tube and Alessia is going to be such a great yacht after you have waved your Laine wand over her. Looking forward to more, Cheers from OZ

Nice video Patrick I was wondering what you've been up to since you got the new boat. I recommend you put a downhaul on the head of that hanked on jib so you can pull it down from the cockpit, if you do it with a back winded jib you'll keep it out of the water.

I was actually checking on Saturday that I hadn't missed a video from you! Glad to see you're well and still sailing!

Great to see you back Patrick and looking forward to your new adventures

Nice to see you back sailing Patrick. Well, you certainly have made some serious upgrades since you bought her; It will be interesting to see what you actually think of all your investment in a few months time. I have to be honest and say that I am one of those that struggled to see why you changed your wonderful Bavaria 40 for this one. You must have a master plan for the future, are you planning to do some serious racing in the future?

Named after the book character...awesome. Ive been checking back to ensure that youtube hasnt been failing to keep up to speed.

Nice video Patrick. Great to have you back.

great to see you back good video again i look forward to learning about your boat with you

LMR 400 is the best coax with the smallest signal loss. Get the LMR 400 flex, much easier to work with. Worth the money.

Glad to see you, Patrick. I always learn so much from your videos.

Great to have you back, I am looking forward to your experiences in the new boat

Thanks for the inspiration, and fun to see the development of the new boat. Keep moving forward 😊

Great to see you out on the water again. Happy days.

Never boring, Patrick. Thank you.

Glad to have u back and sharing new videos. Always enjoyed watching them

Great to see you back Patrick. Keep the videos coming. :)

Good to see you buddy..... hope u had a great summer

Yep. Loved it.. For anybody thinking about doing similar things this is great stuff. Very much looking forward to your travels and autopilot adventures!

I missed your videos. Glad you are back.

I love your videos. They always teach me something. I wish I could just sail like you

So glad to see you back ...

Welcome back Patrick. Missed your videos and look forward to seeing more about your new boat.

Tech stuff is the best stuff. I could watch vids with tech installations and upgrades all day!

Good to see you back again Patrick.

Certainly wasn't boring, it's always great to see you Patrick

Great to see your back Patrick.

Welcome back, congratulations on the refit, the engineer in you shines. I'm looking forward to tagging along on future adventures.

Great stuff. Nice to see new content! As an owner of a small racer myself I am exctatic to see you tame that little beast. Looking forward to seeing you fly out there!

I'm so happy you're back! I love your videos. I enjoy all you have to teach us and everything you share. Thanks for sharing!

Your videos are never boring. Looking forward to the update.

Good to see you back on the water. Have fun getting acquainted with your new lady. Good for you being brave enough to push for a new adventure & experience a different type of sailing. Fair winds and following seas!

Very professional and creative forestay sheer attachment and auto pilot attachment fixes! Nice to see you back on the water and fair winds.

Well done. Change is good and healthy. Best of luck! 👍👍👍

Welcome back to the water, Patrick. You are an inspiration!

Good to see you back on the water Patrick, good tips on potential hidden gremlins!!

The opposite of boring. Great to see you back on the water ⛵👍

In no way boring. Fun to see you making improvements and discovering the boat’s characteristics. Thank you.

So nice to see many actual sailing conditions crossing the Atlantic and along the European coast. Very enjoyable and informative. Keep it up.

Never boring, lots to learn listening to you, even as a modest coastal sailor with a "pocket" cruiser. Thank you.

Not boring at all Patrick. Its good to see you well and sailing again. i'm looking forward to your next posting.

Good to see that your back! Great as always! ‘Down to Earth’..or should I say ´down to sea’👍

We also like the refit/boat projects stuff. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and how you prepeare her for the next adventures to come. Fair winds,

Glad to see you out on the water again.

Welcome back Patrick, very pleased your back sailing after the refit. The video was anything but boring, it gives us landlubbers an insight into what is required for ocean sailing. Please keep the videos coming and keep safe.

Thank you Patrick learning so much from your videos .

So very glad you are back! You have rebuilt this new boat and it sounds complex, but I sure look forward to your journry’s on Alicia 😊👍

welcome back we have missed you and I agree with the other users the tech talk is what we need

Super to see you again old chap.

Always good to try something new, Patrick. It's only by trying the new that you know if you miss the old!

Patrick!!! Welcome back to KZfaq!!!! Really enjoyed the update on the new boat and the things that you have done/doing to it. Also glad that you are back to posting your travels, missed that the most!! Looking forward to see where the new little boat takes you!! Fair sailing!!!

Wonderful you are back on the water and healthy, in times of the pandemic not everything is always safe

Great stuff, as ever. Glad you're back in action and best wishes with your new boat and all the adventures you will have with her. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for a new video! Your adventures are very interesting to us. I really appreciate how hard you work to be honest and accurate about what you say. Looking forward to another video!!! : )

C'est un plaisir de vous revoir! Merci M. Laine de partager vos aventures et vos "refits"! Intéressant de voir les installations d'autres navigateurs, merci encore!

Welcome back Patrick, we've all missed you! Your videos are never boring; you cover so many interesting topics that others overlook. Please keep posting!

Glad to see you back on the water and not boring at all. Wish I had known about the coax cable two boats ago. Always learn something from your videos. Merci!

Love your videos Patrick, I am fairly new and you explain things so well, glad you can enjoy peace out on the water

Never boring, always informative. Merci Patrick

👍⛵️ I wish you nice and safe trips with your new boat!

Goodevening Patrick, nice to see you back to the sea, everyday sounds super-nice program! Fair Winds ;-)

Yes! You are back. Not even seeing the video but I am going to sit for it.

Not boring at all. I've been learning about sailing for just a little while now and I especially liked seeing the upkeep and repair aspect of different components.
