    I really want to travel the world a couple years on a sailingyacht but my biggest problem is being scared the ship gets stolen when on land, how much it costs to moor or anchor near beaches and authorities of different countries giving fines or confiscating the ship.

    Great video! Maybe someday I'll have the means and the courage to try this! A couple of questions if you don't mind. 1. Does your family not sail with you on these voyages? 2. Why did you sail north towards San Francisco on the way back?

    • @ChristianWilliamsYachting
      @ChristianWilliamsYachting 7 дней назад

      It's not everybody's cup of tea. The route home requires going north to find favorable wind. Heading east from the latitude of Hawaii would mean sailing directly into the powerful trade winds that blew you there.

    I am going to say it is an Ericson 38'. Since I was a little kid and us having a Cal 29, I was always asking what every stripe and design was from my father. I remember the Ericsson design because the stripe was similar to the Cal without it going all around the bow. That is much bigger than our 29'.

    Hi Christian, just wanted to Thank You, for all your videos and inspiration. A friend of mine arrives in Oahu today from Seattle singlehanded, I did the trip last year singlehanded, we were just talking about how much you and some others have helped in our endeavors. Just so you know, I bet there's many more like us out there.

    • @ChristianWilliamsYachting
      @ChristianWilliamsYachting 28 дней назад

      Bravo. Well all learn and now singlehanding is no longer secret knowledge, thanks to RUclips. I well remember studying this book 15 years ago, memorizing every word. It was at the time pretty much samizdat, but now available to all on Amazon: "Singlehanded Sailing: Thoughts, Tips, Techniques & Tactics" Paperback - October 16, 2014 by Andrew Evans (Author)

    I had not taken up sailing when the Covid virus was released. I continued to play tennis throughout the pandemic, singles and doubles. Fortunately the powers that be in my state didn't go full authoritarian over this. I believe it was clearly a man-made virus, probably produced in a US bio-weapons lab. The virus first hit China and Iran -- simultaneously. Eventually it spread to the rest of the world.
