Awesome video! Do you have dimensions for your build? I love the layout. Knowing the dimensions of the bed and units would be super helpful 🙏🏻😊👌🏻

I have a Bougie RV ice chest size, fridge or freezer. I think I paid less than $200? Pulls a little less than 50 watts. I got it for my little camper for more freezer space so I don't have to buy ice all the time. Thing works great both as bonus house freezer in and when I am on the road. My 300 watt power bank keeps it running for at least 7 hours when I am pulling down the road. It also runs on DC. About the size of a medium ice chest. If you can find a place for an ice chest and get power to it. You have a fridge or a freezer. I keep it on 0, but I t can be set higher for a fridge. Safe travels and enjoyed your video!

Reverse Brexit NOW!

Are you not able to use Albania and Montenegro as a visa reset?

Can we have mast furling?🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧⛵️⛵️

Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤❤

takes balls to do that IMO

look into diplomatic passports. you can get a passport from the forgien office not HM passports office and pretend you dont have a birth cert.. However you might need to know what happens when you are needed to evacuate an area. Or have dual nationality ...and 2 passports

Did you want to sail on this one if I can arrange?

Well done🥂😁😉🤯🤯🤩 really stunning effect, on this budget especially💪👏 and im glad there are people like me -WHO love Green color😂😅. GREETINGS from Poland ,and best wishes for the future ENJOY OUR WORLD 🥰😜😁🤘

Youcan still get a telephone style handset on a vhf radio. Sailor is one brand I can think of.

just stumbled across this. Very honest and informative video. Thank you so much ;)

Literally only tuned in for the electrical install and you bungled it .....

Fking brexit making everyones life difficult.

A 1978 Endeavor 32 recently sold for US $7,000 in Milwaukee with a running engine. Having voyaged on a Glander Cay 23, I am no longer a fan of anything under 30 ft., no matter how seaworthy.

The UK wanted Brexit - now you have it. Who voted for it & why?

I solo cruised a Yankee Dolphin 24 with a Navik self steering vane, from Mission Bay CA to the Caribbean Via the Panama Canal. Sailed it on a run in heavy weather of 55 kts wind and 20-25 ft breaking waves. 12 hours under just a storm jib. Wasn't a good time but it handled it. It was a great boat and capable of circumnavigating the world.

Kind of lost you guys. Really enjoyed your sailing videos. Even followed your camper van videos till they stopped. What has happened? Just wanted to say we miss you & hope you might ne able to return. 💖

I had the renogy dc to dc 50amp it only does 25amps from each so that went pretty quick

My 1974 Swanson 30 cost myself and mate $32K (Aud) which considering the boat’s considerable ocean racing inc 6 S2Hs and ocean and coastal cruising history, let alone that its two previous owners had spent the combined sum of approx $30K in upgrading it was kind of a bargain. And yes sure it doesn’t have a shower, hot water, water maker, fridge or even an oven, it did come with a near new volvo penta 30 hp motor, new folding prop, new harken 40 primary winches, new B&G wind instrument, new furler, new sails, sheets, and quite a lot of refurbishment both on deck and down below. Yes there is work to be done, some more upgrades to be done to it but we are happy and race it every week. So yes a small boat has its advantages for sure.

How about the Hurley 30/90, Contessa and Vancouver?

It is now 2024. Are you still sailing? I know you bought a camper van. Did you go back to sailing?

Very nice 🎉

nice-I would not put something flammable under the engine.

I are you finding the van performance in hill climbs?

You find a lot of boat yards have boats who owners are behind with their fees or have abandoned their boats so another way of getting a cheap boat as boat yards just want to get their cost back.

Nothing shocking. The Brexit and Bureaucracy stuff is also not a surprise. Shocks me how many sailors and expats voted for it. We find the wind to be predictable. Stay safe.

Very interesting video for someone planning to sail to Portugal in June from NI. I plan to take the boat out of the water in Nazare and sail her from October March. My main concern are Orcas. I may decide to go to Madeira and Canary Islands instead. I have absolutely no interest in crowded anchorages, marinas and party boats. Also interesting what you said about end. Thankfully the 90 day bureaucracy will not apply because being Northern Irish we can apply for Irish EU passports. Thank you. Useful insight. ⛵️

What scares me about buying a boat is the cost of the unknowns. I want a seaworthy boat even though I will likely never cross an ocean. I find old boats are well made but have refit needs because they are 30, 40 or more years old. How do I know if the chain plates need work, or the thru hulls? The engine could be a major expense. So my $5000-10,000 boat could need a $25,000 refit. How can I find out the depth of potential expenses before I fork over my $$$ ?

There is an exemption to the 90 day Schengen rule for marine (and air crew).

Nice 28' boat. Layout quite optimal for a classic design. Comfortable for 2 pax. All the best.

This is brilliant thank you! Looking to get a Vivaro for my first van!

Safer if the lifeboat goes topside in the lazarette. If you turn turtle you would have some diving to do as is.

Very weird how such a cheap shite van would be over priced with a fog star. Suspicious

Once again I think you handled this situation very well. It’s all about gaining experience and accepting the financial hits when they come. Also there are so many beginners at sailing, just like us, so we always have to be aware of the lack of experience of others. A great preparation video for me sailing to The Algarve from Ireland in June. ⛵️

As someone who is planning a voyage from Ireland to the Algarve in June this was a timely warning. £1,500 for rescue is way outside my budget. I thought you handled the situation really well. ⛵️

Portable alpicool 12volt fridge freezers are about 500 dollars and can hide away in various places

Hi, did you leave insulating your side door? I have been trying to find out how people get the insulation behind the plastic as its attached to the handle

Generally, I feel that all modern navigation systems have user interfaces that are appalling. They seem to be made by programmers, for programmers and not for boaters at all. When I am in a boat I want to be in a boat, I do NOT want to be a system administrator who just happens to be on the water. The complexity of modern systems are getting in the way of what they are supposed to be there for: Simplifying your boating experience.

Still for sale maybe?

Your carbon monoxide alarm is far too low down. CO is lighter than air. The alarm should be 15cm from the headlining of the saloon. If you leave it where it is and are unlucky enough to have a CO problem you will be unconscious before it goes off!

Is your sister Zoe single? And are you greek?

Great video

What electric heater do you have?

These all have capsise screening numbers over 2 except the sadler 29, the flooded boat you showed was a 34, a 29 flooded should still be sailable. Very slowly.

hi mate hope your well ! , where did you get the mounting brackets for your solar panel from ?

Absolutely lovely to see a yacht that I can actually see myself sailing........I've actually sailed a 30 foot vad start and my only comment to you is safety first always fire extinguisher need to be able what becomes a very bad situation very quickly I personally would triple up on them they small and Easy to stash ...enjoyed and look forward to following you....

These are great no doubt but the price is staggeringly high for most of us.

I was considering the verl 27 do you have any experience with such a boat . I want to sail it from. Nederland to greece

Do folk ever get in contact these days or does everyone just "reach out"? One of those nauseous trends.
