M-am retras la 76 de ani și mi-am cumpărat o barcă cu vele de 35 de picioare, Zephyr IV. Câțiva dintre prietenii mei mi-au sugerat că ar trebui să mă reconsider și poate să consult un psihiatru, deoarece mi s-a părut un lucru destul de neînțelept de făcut la vârsta mea. Acest videoclip este un album de însemnări cu navigația minunată pe care am avut-o în timpul primului nostru sezon împreună în 2021. Nu am mers atât de departe, doar de-a lungul coastei de sud a Marii Britanii, dar a fost un bun shakedown în pregătirea pentru ceva mai aventuros în 2022. .

I am 68 and thinking of doing the same !
Respect for doing what you want , no matter what your age ! I am 68 and planning to taking some of my life back !
Hoist the Zimmerframe we're all over the yard arm ! What a way to go. ..
Dont let anyone tell you no. Go, dont know, and learn! This is great.
R08, is that the new Bulwark. ??
Sailed the old one in1974 to Curacou.
Dutch Marine Retired.
Bought my first boat at 72. Go for it. How old would you be if you didn’t know the day of your birth?
This is pure pleasure listening and watching the tour. You are what I dream of and strive to do. Thanks for the ride along. God speed.
Hello and thank you for your sharing. I would like to know the name of the port where we saw the carpet crying out of fear for its egg on the bow of the sailboat at almost abondon? . Thank you very much.
We have heard of Portland Bill on other Y>T< vids! Now we know what he looks like!!! CHEERS from a powerboater on Canadian Westcoast!
No, not at all, you are not crazy doing just that at 76. We don't have many 76 years to lived, this is the only lives we've got, if we you feels like doing something, just do it. Life is too short to waste time on considering if we can do this and that, do it while you still can.
It is smart buying a sailing yacht now that the world is ending. Wind is free, sun is free, and the fish in the sea is all the food one needs and it's free. On land people will be hungry, hungry people are dangerous. On the sea there are no hungry people, the food is endless!
I bought me an Albin Vega 27' but I'm only 50 years old.
I'm 76. After 7 years, sold my power boat and went back to my roots– sailing. Kick off mid March. Oregon, California, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon.
I bought my Hartley 34 at 71
I'm now 73. Yes I've been living aboard 2 years
I learned to sail with my dad and uncle down at Solent Breezes Sailing Club at the solent. Awesome times and weekends camping in the caravans. There is something about being out on the water that is so amazing. Happy days!
It's not the fact that you bought a boat at 76 but the fact you are vlogging and filming and put it all on YT. Chapeau!!
Wonderful to find this video, more so because I am a banjo and guitar player, but also because I love all things sailing. Maybe someday I’ll get some water legs yet.
I think at age 75 you can buy what ever you want and it's no one business . Life is even shorter.
Age has nothing to do with boat buying madness…it is all madness at any age but we wouldn't trade our madness for love nor money! Sail on!
Wise man ,you are never going to have to worry about selling it !
Wonderful! Regarding your QRM through the power supply, I read that on cars some people put a supercapacitor close to the source of the trouble, usually the generator. Perhaps you also need an inductor close by. And why would you need a psychiatrist when you have a boat? <g> 73+gl!
Though I'm still quite young, the old man in the mirror would like to convince me otherwise. Wonderful video. Happy sails!
No – the best thing you could do,
.are me feel young thankyou so much
Thanks for that, a really enjoyable video. Great to see that your depth sounder is reading in feet.
Don't stop living the dream, very encouraging to see you living your life.
im 71 just bought a seacracker 33, will be off on my 10th solo crossing of the atlantic this summer.
I'm 75. I bought one in Sept. Working on it most every day. Life is grand.
Don't worry about it I am coming on 79 and still sailing. My Psychiatrist is encouraging me to continue so I shall do just that.
Excellent video Dave. Very interesting indeed. Great to re-acquaint on the radio today. Did you get the RFI issues sorted with your ham gear on the board? Cheers, Nick DDD
The music with this video is just awful!
A 75 yr old bought my first albin viggen. I’m still looking for an suitable upgrade on budget. It’s never too late to sail no matter how old a human are.
I retired at 60 and sail 6 months of the year. I’m 73 years old now and recently purchased my third new yacht of 51 feet, believe me you are never to old to sail or purchase a boat.
Greetings from Moody Blue. Nice video Dave and you have a nice voice tone as a narrator. Cheers Stuart
What an enjoyable video. Thanks so much
I’m an owner of a 27 ft sailboat at my age of 69. Taking my two day ASA basic sailing keelboat class end of May. Knock on wood! I feel like a lost kid in a toy store! Excited but so much to do. And I’m a solo lol. This was inspiring to watch. You have done ! What I hope to do.
