Best Sailing channels on Youtube

[SV Sea]

gaucho - I 100% agree. I'm in the film business also. 180% south took many many years to be finally released. The 2 crew members that list their names in the blog are both successful DP's and editors! The 3rd is one of the Malloy family in my mind. I'd have to say Chris!
Yes, the footage they shoot blows all other sailing channels out of the water but that should be expected. There is a big difference shooting with a RED and Prime lenses than shooting on a 5D mark 111.
Also if you have read the blog they bought a boat that has sailed around the world and they are retracing the route the departed owner took which leads me to believe they will release a full length movie of this adventure.

[QUOTE=meatservo;2303577]I just want to crew with Miss Lonestar.


You can't crew....she doesn't have a boat. In my opinion she should go home take care of her kids first. I personally find her a bit too skanky for my likes.

Well, the odds of me crewing with her was about zero before your post. What's your point?

Didn.t mean to burst your dreams and there really is no point other than the fact is she doesn't have a boat but gets money from followers of her sailing channel. I believe people follow her not because of the great sailing content but the sex aspect. I really don't know her whole story but from what is there for us to see she has abandoned her kids and for that I choose not to follow her.

Just an opinion here like yours

Most of the channels mentioned in this thread are already on my watch list, but there are a couple I haven't seen.

One I haven't seen in the thread yet is Erik Aanderaa's "No ******** Just Sailing". He's not a cruiser but he is an adventure sailor, and some of his videos are pretty cool.

It's like watching a BBC documentary.

I also recommend Dylan Winter's site, Keep Turning Left. Dylan shows you don't need a large boat to have great adventures.

My dog and I are just getting g started but the journey will end in a circumnavigation!

I am looking for that prefect set of video's that depict a smaller boat somewhere in the range of 30 to 32 that is or has been down the ditch to the keys and has recorded his or her journey. Someone that i can mentor with who can advise and or suggest. All the ones i have seen so far have huge boats and it seem an endless supply of funds. The ones who can say what to do or not...places to stay away from and places that seem to welcome you. To suggest the things or items that would be useful in the journey.

Disturbing video of her face after she got beaten. Think there are way better sailing videos.

Tough to judge without hearing the other side. Not really sure if the black eye was real. It looked to perfect.

Here are two sites that have lots of info, photo's and video's on their travels as they sail around the world. Both boat owners have YouTube channels, although there are a lot of videos on their websites. Both of these boats are Ovni 365's.


Chamade (including a journey around western Russia, and a passage of the NorthWest passage.)

Entre-Côtes/Lili la Mouette (Norway, the Arctic, Iceland, and on to a tour around the world)
Lili la Mouettee.com

Note: Both websites are in French, as are their videos.

Hi there! We are in an Aloha 34 and have a blog and YouTube channel (though I'm still working on getting "good" at videos) the blog is svragnarok.com and from there you can click on the video tab to get to YouTube. I think you can search "svragnarok sailboat" on YouTube and it'll come up. We've owned the boat for 3 years, and left out of Knoxville TN in July. We are currently in Gulfport FL with plans to continue south soon! So lots of river travel, ICW, and working on the gulf crossing video as we speak!

This thread brings up some interesting opinions and observations. What would you consider to be a good sailing youtube to follow?

For me it would include the boat itself in terms of rigging, sailing characteristics, maintenance, instruments, etc. Then there is the the actual sailing to destinations. What is involved? Timing, storms, difficulties, navigation etc.

In my opinion a good sailing channel does not include watching crew taking pictures of each other on the beach, sitting at a bar drinking, or anything else that doesn't have any connection with actual sailing.

This is an excellent question or point. There are many youtube sailing channels out there but only a couple that I would even consider watching. The majority are just too painful, absolute amateurs doing some pretty stupid things. I just watched an episode of Sailing Uma. They were offshore in a questionably seaworthy boat, beating into 30 knot winds with no lifelines on the boat, no jack lines setup, no harnesses, I just shake my head and the sad part is, people watch this **** and figure, " hey we should do that."

I much prefer to watch something that is done by someone who has an idea of what they are doing.
