Hawaii 2021: Inside Singlehanded Sailing with Christian Williams

You have inspired me to start sailing!

Dear Mr Williams
You present a happy place at 78. I am not far behind you at 60 years old but I'm getting tired..
I'm interested in your career pathway. Please don't say you were a lawyer or politician.
I have had yachts and power boats since I was 15.
I was a bottle collector, mechanic, pilot, truck driver, accountant, used car dealer and finally an investor in mining equipment technology.
Kind regards
Mal W.

Well done Captain

If this is trade winds........ Yes.
Lol.

Literally tied to your stove...I love it...Never spills a drop 'O' wine, ever!

I don't know how old you are but I'm 69. I would like to start sailing again alone. What advise do you have for me?

when is the next solo passage? love to see one soon!!

Exceptional video! And plenty of life experience wisdom.......I need to get back on the water! Thank You!

So enjoyable to watch! Thanks Christian for such a meaningful journey

a true sailor cleans the sea. throwing carbon parts into the water is not a good example to set

Christian, I'd solo sail with you anytime. In all seriousness, my longest solo was 28 days. And you find that even though you can get away from being around other people. You can't avoid bumping into yourself. That genuflection is what builds your character. And I tip my hat to you. You are quite a character! But one hell of a good sailor. Always keeping an eye on the boat and enjoying the solitude that you only find on the sea. I just stumbled upon your channel and subscribed after the first video. There's quite a lot of sailing videos here. But theres only a few true sailors. You, sir, are amongst them. Joshua would be proud to know you.

glad i found this vid. i am truly considering this and its a great example of what ill be up against, thank you.

Lol..great time spent with the Captain! Great sound and producing of this fire cracker...video experience of a life time...👽 Looking fwd to next voyage...

At the flat in my cupboard. Tomorrow

What a fun watch, Christian!

I have been watching your channel and patrick Lane for a while now, I have read lots of Bernard Moitessier and and Your “Philosophy of Sailing” and have decided that the overwhelming reason men sail the oceans single handed is so they can listen to Jazz in peace. I have booked a beginners course!

in watching, I feel a friendship, and as friendships go, a prized one, I assure you.

Redford's character shaves because he's preparing for his death, like Eastwood's character in Gran Torino who buys a new tailored suit after he gets his cancer diagnosis. Your mom was pretty close.

Wow!!!.....Where do I send the check to pay for all that wisdom?......5 yrs younger but w/a set of experiences vastly different than urs and like urs, also came in sets....not all of them good....but unavoidable nevertheless.....Enjoyed ur videos....also experiences....

Good old style sailor, beautiful soul revealed on his 'monographyes', , a good father and maybe the grandfather that everybody dreams for... Thanks for the video and greetings from the other side of the globe...

How old is Christian Williams?

Hehehe, loved the cooking and quiz-show :)

So then.... keep hooked up to the boat

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ok nh Ed z hea

I love you

Ha hahaha

Lolololol

Did you say.... did you ever get bit by a a dead baby?

You going good I’m 39 and feel like I’m 60

That I mean

Wow I didn’t know you were taht old I thought 68

And that’s it die with dignity

It’s simple he shaves because he wants to look good when he is found dead. Same reason you change of underwear I do the same change my underwear before getting on my ducati panigale.

Fascination voyage and narration ! I'm not the only one who has lengthy conversations with myself.
You're never alone when you have yourself to discuss life with !

bravo!

Of all the ‘solo sailing’ videos that I’ve seen…..this is by far the most entertaining. Keep up the fun! But be careful please.

Brilliantly entertaining and inspiring.
Well done mate.

Good sir, I absolutely love this. I’m just now beginning my journey into the world of sailing. When I finally begin my time on the water I could only hope to have the fortune of meeting and befriending a veteran sailor with even a fraction of your class and sense of humor.
Cheers from the cold water east coast.

Learning from this man has taught me how to think differently about the world and this moments purpose 💯

Thank you for your beautiful video, I liked your playing that questions and answers. You encoraged me to start sailing with my privateer 20 in cesme-Turkey

What a character!!! Thank you!!!

So question for you is your sail boat supposed to tilt back and forth like that and how do you stop your boat from capsizing???

Nice, about a feature movie length and not boring!

I just love how that lady had to repeat, "They just rowed here", like you were some incapable senior with dementia. Cracks me up how this lady probably has no idea what you just did.

$2,500 for a whisker pole? Ouch.
