1. definitely under canvased, however, in your situation, certainly good enough to get you from point A to point B. keep on keeping on 🙂

2. At 11.19 min: 😱 Look, look! THE EIFFEL TOWER ! How cool is that! Until now I didn't know that the Eiffel tower can be seen from the Netherlands. But of course it's a very flat country and no hills/mountains hinder the sight! 😁 😉

3. Actually you can sail Mahi single handed w/o any problems if you follow the many advises given below, among them anchor windlass, autopilot, boom with boom vang (the latter one because you have no proper traveller) , a well tailored foresail, some day in the future a square head main, a roller furling foresail is convenient but not a necessity. Maybe after some more experience you would like to add a winch or a cleat in certain positions.
   Btw you got a lot of deck area to put the dinghy on, adds maybe half a knot to your boat speed.

4. Dear Wildling Sailing Mark.
   👍👌👏 6 knots! This was some proper sailing. Congratulations! 🎉With the third sail up and without pulling the dinghy behind, Mahi might have been even way faster. 2) Sir, you definitely need an anchor winch! A manual one will still be better than always pulling the dirty wet chain by hand! I guess that the fantastic marine shop that had all those used items, will also sell anchor winches!? 3) Are the fishes that you caught not eatable? At least the first one looked like being a decent size. 4) I'm happy to hear that you get a new used dinghy with a reliable outboard engine. Hope that you will be able to store the dinghy onboard Mahi some day in the future.
   As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
   Best regards luck and health in particular.

5. You are the master baiter LOL good to see you’re actually out on the water, not just talking about it. Finally, you can to go sailing

6. Great one Mark. Keep it up. gary in Japan

7. Wow at this rate you should be able to sail around the world in about 75 years. Get a real job, a real boat and stop living this fantasy life leading yourself and others on that you're actually doing something with your life

8. Why not get a winch for the anchor ,even make one out of a starter motor have it controls back with the motor controls plus where th anchor chain comes up on the boat put a wheel so it gluides .,Pray to God literally you going to hurt yourself .

9. Cannot wait till you cross the channel back to uk .

10. you need to get a windlass man even a non powered one would be safer than pulling by hand while single handed

11. I volunteer myself as crew. Iʻve been all over the wadden sea and the islands, youʻll love it.

12. Just a word of warning that putting fiberglass on your rudders doesn't work as UV-Protection, as that is also held on with epoxy which will degrade with the UV. It does of course help with keeping water out completely, but would need paint for the UV protection itself.

13. Nice goin Mark, gettin there m8!

14. "I'm just gonna take it easy…" <– this

15. I never lost faith in you and I knew you could do this. You also have two other wonderful people on your support team and I honor your Mom and Dad for their faith and passion in what their son is doing, unwavering support, it’s the very best a parent can do and the love between you is very apparent. I’ll continue to support you and hope to run into you somewhere in the world. Go do it young man, your whole world has changed and now it’s a straight run to old age. It’s all the “fun stuff” now. Take all your success, and failures, in stride. As my kids always said about their school years, not showing off, not falling behind.

16. You need a windlass and a chain locker not crew.

17. Fabulous job on the new tiller arms! Its a definite upgrade.

18. A better way to moor to a ring on a mooring buoy, is to use 2 ropes.
    One from the port bow through the ring and back to the port bow.
    The second rope from the port starboard bow through the ring and back to the starboard bow.
    This gives more control of the bridal lenghts, and stops wear on the rope as it slides back and forth through the ring.
    Good luck with your first saltwater experience in your new boat.

19. I would have thought a boom was necessary to make sailing way easier, especially going downwind!

20. 👍🐱👍

21. You shouldn't take that boat into the deep ocean…it's not seaworthy. Any kind of rough conditions and you will have trouble. I admire your doggedness but don't be foolhardy.

22. We live full time on a small 28 shipman, but there is something so magical about the wharrams. I want to get one and live on it.

23. great vid, good to have a bit of history about the beautiful places you stop – got to love the Nederland's

24. Hi mark, congratulations on the Mahi success. I would be open to come and help you for a week and stay in my van. What do you think?
    Keep it up man
    Martin 🤙🏼🤙🏼

25. You need a boom and if single handing a windlass with a remote or wired to the helm . Self tacking jib would be nice .

    I never ever single hand without a waterproof handheld VHF in my pocket – that way you can call for rescue if you go in and direct them to you . Cheap insurance and you probably already have one .

26. The correct way to tie to a mooring is with Two bow lines looped back on themselves one on each side . That stops the lines sawing through at the ball , has a second line for backup and easy to drop when you need .

27. 12v anchor winch ??

28. Hey Mark, there is a vlogging girl Natasha from Russia with a popular utube channel. She has been stuck in Georgia for a while but now she got a visa and she is in the Netherlands. Natasha is a very important person. Not really girlfriend material but..
    I would be so stoked if you could get her on the boat for a sail.

29. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! Enjoy a bit of summer before it’s gone. Plenty of time for working later. ❤

30. You don't need crew, you just need a windlass!

31. Mark, you need a windlass

32. Hi, probably you know, but you better take two lines to each bow one. Now the one line will got chafed when wind picks up and you start moving from one side to the other.
    And congrats with your results! Safe sailing and fair winds!

33. Would a boom not help?

34. Good to see you sailing nice places.

35. ⭐️ I⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

36. Great video and perch are the bass of fresh water and are delicious

37. Great job! Crack on Mark!

38. Some of my ancestors were from Hoorn. Is that were you are actually moored?

39. You definitely need an electric winch for the anchor. Also why have such a long anchor chain
    Try using about 8 meters of chain attached to three quarter Manila roap. Much easier if you sail alone like I did for many years

40. You’re doing fine man…

41. Amazing the work you have done. When using the hand plane, files, normal wood or metal saws don’t drag the tool backwards. Every time you drag the tool backwards it dulls the cutting part of the tool. For a plane it pushes down and forward. Then ease off the downward pressure or much better life the tool off the work piece as you draw the tool backwards. Try it out a sharpened plane will last much longer and give you better shavings lingering.
    Always fun to watch. I replaced over a Hu deed snaps on my boat today. Rather be planing wood….
    Oh always wear a safety line u til you get some sort of railing. One slip and bad things happen.

42. Lucky man , cat looks pretty nice

43. Love your jazz music choices especially Brad Meldau is just so great with boating images…

44. Neat place and folks, I think you could worse than sticking around that country until you are fully prepared to sai to the Caribbean. Honestly, I am relieved to see your post after thinking, "Oh no, he's lost all trying to cross the bad ass bays off France….

45. Could you possibly buy an used windlass from that amazing second-hand shop where you bought your sink and steering wheel?

46. We’ll done Mark. Perhaps a roller firler for the gib and windlass should be on the shopping list to make single handing a lot easier?😅

47. great work!
