Love the video and your frank style! Your boat reminds me of the twin-Hurley 19 that I used to sail in Florida. Not fast, but a very solid little ship. Think about producing some more. Thank you!
Brilliant video, very very funny. I’m sure there must be a vacancy as safety officer for you, when they refloat the Costa Concordia. Hopefully this wont be the last of your sailing adventure uploads.
She’s a Norman Pearn (of Loo) Sea Drift 20′ – early ’70s. She only draws 2′ so she’s not too good close to the wind and complete rubbish in light winds – you have to sail her like an old, square rigged sailing ship, which I actually quite like, but she’s the biggest, roomiest 20′ boat I have ever known!

LMOL great finish mate. I must admit I’m not a sailor but do love adventure. I’m just checking out YT to get a feel of this lifestyle and stumbled on your vid. Out of all the sailing videos I watched yours is the “bomb” if I had to hire a sailing instructor I’d hire you. Since you sail and ride a motorcycle ill finish by saying…. keep the rudder and rubber side down.
