1. This my friends, this is what escaping the Matrix looks like. Congrats!

2. so it too you a whole year to put out this video lol?

3. Beautiful boat! Congrats!

4. Gitane is French. It's a soft g like the name Giles.

5. Really nice boat Alex, our family had a moody.
   I was sailing down the Solent last weekend with the lads on a 43 footer, I saw you went opposite way to us on SeaPeople, we went round the forts and a you went to Yarmouth I think, ours paths must of crossed. Would have been good to have had a race.
   I am back down week today for 10 days if your back on water, not sure what boat I will be on.

6. Cool boat, one of my favourites. Name pronounced JeeTán, sweet J sound. It’s French for Gypsy (woman, as feminine, like a boat should be 😉).

7. Fantastic boat! I had a Moody 38 and regret that I ever sold it. Not very good upwind, but, brilliant for taking people who are “non sailors” and really good at covering distances under engine when people just cooked or sunbathed etc. Not very exciting upwind(!), which my present boat is great at – but nobody wants to come with me any more, because it tips over too much! I think that yours has a scheel keel?? Which was very popular in that era and I will be interested to see how you get on with that – I’m not sure why that option faded out. You will have some fantastic adventures!

8. Congratulations! What a beauty. Fair winds to you both!

9. Gitane is not pronounced git tain is french jeetan.Gypsy

10. Wow! You've gone from a £60 Silhouette to this in just a few years. Well done you. I hope you have some wonderful sails.

11. Awesome yacht!! Congratulations!! Come to Florida and give me a ride!!

12. You might want to consider adding a removable baby stay for a storm jib, especially if you're going to do any bluewater cruising.

13. I think you are saying the name with the wrong pronunciation. If I remember correctly it was a French cigarette which was pronounced ji tane. So the G is silent. Lovely boat for sure.

14. At your age you really should of bought a house. Yes good fun but you will regret it.

15. Gorgeous choice, Gitane is a quite a looker, and proven passage maker, outstanding!

16. You were in Cawsand today, I was the beneteau off you port side 👍

17. A boat you won’t sell for a long time

18. Congratulations! Get used to heeling again!

19. Before setting sail in the World, as such. Replace ALL the standing rigging. Have the Mast thoroughly checked too, it might be a good idea to KEEP all the cable and replaced fittings, as emergency spares. Get at least a New MAIN and Jib sail, have the others serviced, carry sail repair tools, spare sail material, needles, thread etc. Check the engine over, get spare hoses and filters etc for "at sea" maintenance if required. It will cost you a lot of money to do all this. But fail to do it, will be five times as expensive!! Remember the Navy watchwords "You must have TWO of Everything" – Take fiberglass repair materials too, inflatable leak stoppers, sea drogue, tools and clamps anything you might need. Fit a stern outboard mount, make sure that you can use an outboard for your dinghy and actually drive the big boat with it if possible, that makes docking the boat easier if you lose sail (due to no wind) and inboard engine function. Make a harness for moving the main boat with your dinghy alongside possible. Every conceivable scenario must be prepared for, even the unlikely events. That will ensure you will not need to send any "SOS" messages. Sailing the World is NOT a breeze – fail to prepare, then prepare to fail!!

20. I've got a buddy who went through the Beagle Channel on a Moody 37. Yours is a Bill Dixon design, right? Strengthen up that arch, brother. Nice name 😉 Much love!
