Sail Across The Atlantic, July 2010

[ButchPetty]

What a totally great video. Sitting here on my boat at 5 am in Savannah, Ga. with a cup of coffee. You got me day dreaming and the day aint even here yet. :) Nice wake up.

I can just feel the freedom. Thanks

I reposted it to my blog.

Happy Sailing, Butch

Well done guys! I needed a nice transatlantic sail today! Hope you all get the opportunity to do many more. It's the ultimate gift for sailors/friends. Fair winds!

[thegelmans]

Probibly the best UTube sailing video. It made my lench break quite enjoyable.

I sail catamarans on the sea of Galilee. If you are ever in Israel look me up and I will take any of you out. ans sail past Tiberias.

May you be blessed with many years of good times.

[bybyrat]

@shevachblack Thanks so much! I will do so. And may the blessing be returned to you 1000 times.

[IchiTrois]

Maybe I missed it but did you mention what boat is being sailed in this video?

[TailsBit]

Im 18 and am currentlyg working full time to pay for classes and a nice boat, I plan to be a live aboard by the time I turn 19 and travel across the atlantic and as many other oceans that I have permission to sail in, I'll be doing vlogs of my journeys with my gopro camera starting around next march or april of 2013.

[bybyrat]

You crossed the Atlantic in 12 days? That's quick, no??

[bluegreen988]

@hansjalv uk- massachusetts only 7 days..

[bybyrat]

@hansjalv It was only the middle bit from Bermuda to the Azores. But we did haul, 1850 miles in 12 days equals about 150 miles a day. The boat owner and first mate are ocean racers so they had the spinnaker constantly dialed in.

[hansjalv]

@bybyrat Tnx for info!

[meloz1246]

[bybyrat]

@meloz1246 Thanks for watching.

[gotrance7]

[pmexportmiami]

[tkey2tone]

this is AWESOME, gonna have to get a boat and learn ALOT ..looking at a "Cheoy Lee Robb 35" any suggestions would be nice, it's a yawl rigged fiberglass hull, thanks for your video , watch it every day.....fair winds

[36wetpaint]

Great job.....In 4 years, my lines are getting untied...Great job on video

[jkowalonek]

Terrific and inspirational! I can't wait to do my crossing... and the combination of the music and the video... super edit!!!

[bybyrat]

Thanks @jkowalonek. Send me a link when you do your crossing!

[bybyrat]

@jkowalonek Thanks! Post back when you do your crossing!

[yokid414]

i sold my moter yacht for a sail yacht any tips for a 42 footer

[bybyrat]

@yokid414 Expect the unexpected? My only advice is to minimize complexity of everything. Working on broken systems in the middle of the ocean is challenging. Especially if you have to tweak a through hull or climb a mast.

[joegelman]

FANTASTIC! Thanks guys.

[surfnfx]

@sailgirl100 33' is more than we had to do our crossing on a 25'! No GPS,sat phone only radio. This was back in '73. I was 14 and with my Dad. If I had the money I would do it again in a Mini Transat boat.

[bybyrat]

@surfnfx That is awesome!

[4444Anders]

Hello Gents

Who is playing that amazing music, at the 8:40mark

Fantastic vidio by way, Love to do the same thing.

[bybyrat]

@4444Anders Thanks so much. The soundtrack starts with a cover of Closer to Home by Mark Farner. Followed by Gimme Shelter by The Stones and ending with High and Dry by Radiohead. Thanks again for watching.

[tomperanteau]

Very nicely done video. The wife and I are planning a TransPac soon, and I only hope that I can put together a video of our trip that is this good.

[bybyrat]

@tomperanteau I may see you on the TransPac 2013!

[tstadum]

how did you get the boat back or did you leave it in Horta?

sounds like a fun journey!

[bybyrat]

@tstadum It was an amazing trip. I split in the Azores but the rest of the crew plus one continued on to Marseilles where the boat is for sale. If we don't sell it, we're sailing it back next year.

[sailgirl100]

I'm jealous!! I'd love to make that trip. My boat may be too small(33'). And I'm solo. Oh well, one day. Make more videos. Thanks and good luck!!!

[bybyrat]

@sailgirl100 33' Is plenty big and there is no time like the present! Thanks for viewing and the comment.
