What to Expect from Our Sailing Channel (And Why You Should Care)

What can you expect from this channel about sailing? This channel is all about boats. Mainly sailboats. But its also about the humans using the boats. Its about interesting people telling you about interesting boats. Get the story behind the boats, and listen to their hands on experience. This channel is also about different solutions to to different problems. How to get a new teak deck on your old boat. How to avoid diesel bugs in your fuel. How to use the self tacking jib in combination with a genua. My name is Charlie, and I am born and raised in boats. My father was an engineer on a submarine in the Norwegian navy, so I started life under water. Then I grew up in small motorboats along the Norwegian and Swedish coasts. The year I turned 30 I sailed my own 32 foot sailboat from Norway, cross the Atlantic, and spend a season in the Caribbean before I sailed back. I wrote a book about that trip, and I wrote articles for several sailing magazines. I’ve had a lot of different boats during the years. Its mainly been old Swedish sailboats from the 80-ies. I dont know how many hours of my life I have spend repairing and fixing old boats! Now I have a Nauticat 38 for 1982, together with my fiancé Maria. We both love boats and sailing. In this channel we want to inspire you. We want to inspire you to use you boat, and to we want to inspire you to sail further than you have planned. All my life I have told people: Go small. Go simple. Go now! Because, as you might know, If you don’t go when you wanna go, when you do go, you’ll find you’ve gone. * The quote "If you dont go ..." is taken from Burt Monroe. I recommend you to watch the film The World's Fastest Indian. That is a 2005 film that tells the life story of New Zealander Burt Munro, who spent years re-building a 1920 Indian motorcycle — a bike which helped him set the land-speed world record at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats in 1967. Even though this film is about motorcycles, the story behind it is universal, and is equally suitable as a description of sailing. We want to inspire dreamers and doers to sail further. Life is not about sailing fast. Life is about sailing far. And by the way: Get out of Youtube. Go small. Go simple. Go now! This channel dives into the world of boats and the people who use them, sharing stories about boat life and boating tips. The host is embarking on a single handed journey across the ocean. Join us as we document this amazing sailing voyage and more!
