Alătură-te mie în prima mea aventură solo. Urmează mai multe despre barcă, așa că abonați-vă pentru a vedea ce urmează. Dacă ți-a plăcut videoclipul și vreunul dintre ceilalți ai mei, poate te gândești să dai un „bacșis” 😃😃😅 https://www.buymeacoffee.com/nestorandhisboat

Next video will be all about how I got the boat and how I restored it so subscribe. Mics will improve sorry lol
Lovely Hurley!BonVoyage and Fair winds
I'm looking forward to seeing the progress. Fair winds!
Just a suggestion. When coming on to your mooring. Get a line ready running from the bow to the cockpit. Pick up mooring lines from cockpit, loop rope through (or use a clip) kill engine & walk up to the bow with the line, then pull in your mooring lines.
Great video, I'm doing the same journey of learning to sail, just unfortunately at a much later age. Not a criticism but you might want to invest in a mic with a dead cat on it for your phone/camera to help with the wind noise, sailing is windy. Looking forward to seeing more.
Fantastic first solo sail, much smoother than my first one ! 20 out of 10 for sticking the reef in, always better to be cautious. When tacking solo, try standing with the tiller between your legs and use your knees to control it. Takes a but of practice but gives you complete control once you have the technique.
Well done, a great effort! I have a Kingfisher 20 (in East Cowes) so a similar sort of size boat. I find my tiller pilot so helpful when sailing solo (as I do most of the time) around the Solent. Even in windy weather, like you had, you can soon down sails and set it on course to get nice and close to the mooring , slow the engine at the last moment and be able to get a line (attached at the front, but held in the cockpit) through a mooring eye/ loop and secured as quick as possible. Practice makes perfect and having several goes is no cardinal sin, better to let go and go back again than hold on for dear life and get pulled in!! Wishing you all the best, keep going, you can do this. Simon, Yacht Kookaburra
Bravo bravo mitico
Just discovered this channel. I am really impressed with what you are doing at such a young age. Keep up the good work. I already watch a similar channel called Garrett's Adventure which you may be interested in having a look at. Your are somebody who would make a good role model for other people around your age. Keep well and safe. James.
You're a brave sailor and you'll get better at everything, no worries. Besides, you're an inspiration for a lot of young and old people to get out there and sail!
Yes great to see , you just have to take a deep breath and go for it as that is the way to learn.
Great adventure, well done.
Perhaps I could suggest that you overdub your voice when you edit your video clips. This way you can get the sailing footage without worrying about what to say and then add your comments afterwards, like you add music. And so no excessive wind noise.
She sails well, very like a Hurley 22 in design, probably the 22 was a scaled up 18. Is your mooring just off Bembridge harbour? Pretty exposed out there. Cheers. Andy UK
This is fantastic! Realy great you're making the effort at your age to do something wonderful. Just subscribed!
Nestor is your name? 😳 Very old and rare slavic/russian name, no late XVII 👍
You handle your 18 better than i handle my 22R fin and ive been at sea over 50 years, so very well done and keep your video's coming
Brilliant .. I was same age as you when I thought a Hurley 22 was so very high tech.😅😅 Dreaming of the day I would get one for myself – 55 years ago, maybe more. Sailing is amazing now, no more Swallows & Amazons but science and engineering. I think you said you wanted this for your future – Ocean Racer or Naval Architect ? I think working with ships and boats is one of the more solid life paths. Totally worthwhile.
Next stop = your own J Boat.
All boat handling is thinking ahead and having a basic plan in your head. Practice your turning circles and get to know exactly the distances involved. Practice stopping the boat and get to know the distances involved. Don't think engine .. think wind and waves and current – use them all. Speed is the factor that gets you into trouble. Learn how to make the boat go as fast as possible but make certain you know exactly how to slow down and stop. Soon enough it's second nature.
The rudder is your brake.
Lots of fun and laughter mister. 👍
Really enjoyed that. I think though you’d find it easier if you relax a bit, take your time, sort out the mainsail first, it’ll be easier.
I think your boom is a bit low hence the smack in the face. to stop it dropping into the cockpit like that try putting an old towel in the leech then rolling the boom, the extra diameter gained will lift the boom at that end.
Another tip when your shorthanded is to over sheet the jib and under sheet the main. The boat will self steer upwind while you attend to other matters.
