Tour of the ultimate bluewater boat, Swan 55 & interview with Tapio Lehtinen (Patreon)

Hi all! This is a special video, I tour Tapio's Swan 55, which is entering the Ocean Globe Race (around the world). The race is starting tomorrow (Saturday)!. Tapio himself has experience from three other round-the-world races, two of them solo aboard his Asteria in the Golden Globe Race. In this video we also talk about how Asteria sank and what we could all learn from that. We also take a look at some of the features that make this Swan 55 specially suited for real bluewater sailing. Hope you enjoy, and if you are not into boat tours and watching me and Tapio blabber along, I'm happy to tell you that the next video will have some really epic sailing again.

You should in any case watch the last 3 minutes of this video where I explain a little bit about how I'm going to working together with Mikko-Pekka on some of the next videos. He's a professional videographer/editor and I want to work as a team to improve the videos further. My goal has always been to make videos that are good as possible, I don't want to just put together random vlogs, I want to make videos that have good storylines and visuals. But basically I've come to a point where I think I need some help to get better with the videos. I've learned a lot myself but I'm not a professional, and I'm sure there's even some basic things that I'm missing. Anyway, especially you as patrons deserve to know what's happening behind the scenes so that's why I wanted to put this information out.

have a great weekend everyone!
