New territory for me - a long sail from Chichester Harbour to Anstruther.

Nice film. I do like the longer adventures.
a great video Dylan!
Brilliant film Dylan! Good society of men with a project – nothing finer!
Stugeron is great stuff…
Good film…one of your best, I think. You did a good job of bringing us along with you on the trip.
Always tough to give viewers a good measure of the seas through the lens, as you noted in the film…but bringing the view down to near horizontal just above the cabin top eith it in the foreground gave a much better feel for boat motion and sea size. Liked that view for getting a feel for the water you were in.
Thanks, Dylan.
Thanks for the trip. I love your music selection. The DOCKumentry at the end is a great laugh and it brought back many happy memories of sitting in the cockpit with a glass of malt feeling smug after a good bash to windward and the peace of the arrival.
Keep them coming.
Very nice film D. I noted how quickly You passed the places where many of the other films were recorded. What a great way to underline the point, that we miss a lot when we just hurry from one location to the next.
Just a wonderful journey video. And from the sound of things, with very limited motoring offshore.
I was wondering how long it had been since you had done a prolonged offshore sail, so I was surprised when you commented it was your first. It must have been a comfort to have the local knowledge gained from your years of sailing the East Coast, knowing your potential sanctuaries from previous years in the case of trouble.
In a smaller — and lighter — boat like the KatieL, such a prolonged offshore sail would have been madness…or very tiring. The three of you looked remarkably fresh after you arrived in Anstruther.
I’m so jealous — and happy for you. Looking forwards to the Scottish Adventure. YAY!!
great (first half) film. have given up with vimeo – freezes all the time/have to reload page. firefox and ie. have you uploaded it anywhere else? ta
Dylan,
When I click the “download” it starts streaming the film – I need to go to the pub as you suggest above! Please can it be fixed so it downloads?
Rob
that worked! many thanks. great vid (another!)
Really enjoyed this, I’m supposed to be revising for my yachtmaster theory but I reckon this counts!
if I get my hurley 20 finished she’ll be berthed on the east coast somewhere cheap this season. I’m doing coastal skipper practical at easter on the solent. I’ll find a couple of quid for your funds dylan but my ship is eating cash going nowhere just now. it didn’t help having an auction purchase repossessed by the yard after spending many an hour fettling through the autumn. I got my money back but not my time. Still someone has a boat back abandoned for three years and spotlessly polished! See you afloat pal!
Great videos, makes you feel like you were there for the ride.
Good men indeed, good sail. All of you sleep deprived and not a harsh word.
I do enjoy your adventure.

Three men in a boat.great film.
Wonderfull, just what I needed to inspire me to get up on a frosty morning and scrub a bottom!
Even better now that Vimeo can stream to chromecast. Google must be spitting feathers that they have allowed Vimeo such brilliant quality to TVs when their YouTube now looks so average.
Inspirational.
Thanks Dylan
Excellent film. Nice to see that the sailing in the North Sea has some of the same grey bits that we experience over on the west side of the Atlantic. I like the fact that this is a “warts and all” film leaving in the boring and becalmed bits that make the whole experience worthwhile.
I have the same sort of Garmin hand-held GPS which works a treat and was also puzzled about the maximum speed readings which far exceeded hull speed until I realized that the unit was also factoring in the speed of my movements on board. Going up to the bow while underway adds the speed on the deck to the speed over the bottom. Maximum speed recorded is only true if the GPS never moves. Can’t wait for the next installment – you take the high road and I’ll take the salt-water road…
I spent most of this wet afternoon in St Malo watching your You tube videos and I really enjoyed them.
I bought a Centaur last year and am just about to launch her and sail her from St Malo to Mallorca, I have never sailed her before and watching your videos today really inspired me, they really are lovely yachts.
Thanks a lot and keep making the films.
Best wishes David
A trio of top blokes. Great trip and video.
Thanks Dylan – KTL 7 is life affirming stuff. I’ve confirmed I don’t want a mooring in the Solent and I don’t want other people, no matter how charming or clean they may be, cluttering up my boat. Miserly contribution to funds duly made.
I just watched three men in a boat. I thoroughly enjoyed it. A bit different from your usual films. I’ve only watched a few,
There really is something special about a voyage with a good crew. A little team in your own little world. The film makes it look easy. The truth is 500 miles is a long way.
Night watches are particularly special, cold, long, exhausting, but a clear night at sea is beautiful.
I look forward to watching some more. Small donation gladly made, keep turning left.
