Dogscout 207 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 To quote Barry Sheene. I'm just here for the crumpet. Do you expect to learn a lot about sailing from entertainment media? These sell because of the entertainment value, exotic locations, scantily clad stars, and some human interest. You may love RAN, but there is not much about sailing technique. Sure Johan is good a fabricating, has an adventurous drive and is pretty smart. He also has a very cute girlfriend. La Vagabond pegs the meter on entertainment. There was a lot more about fixing boats in the beginning but they are all about looking good in far away places. Say Mermaid is likely gone since their production costs have skyrocketed and Vaga is getting a new boat free. Prism I like especially that they have done some good equipment reviews and man they put together a great trip in Baja. I'd sell everything to get a bunk on Karl. That is a great story and an incredibly strong woman. Sail Life needs to get the boat finished so he can go out a meet a girl. His dog will make a great chick magnet and hey he's got two boats. Never Monday is high on my chart for adding moto adventure to sailing and bikinis. Way to go there. Uma is loads of fun with the architect revision of their boat, I love that they painted all that old dimly lit wood for light colors. but man that architect needs an engineer to help with some of the mechanical things. I sure am glad he changed out that chain drive contraption before he left. Drake Paragon is great stuff and loads of fun. Delos was getting a little too pachouli smelling for my taste but the recent episodes around South Africa are very cool. Rick Moore and his crew of misfits all I can say is wow. Not sure whats going on there. I want most all of them to stay, except that pompous beer drinking gun toting moron with the Husky in the tropics. The youtube entertainment is bringing more people to sailing. This may be good or bad in your mind but it is having an effect and the population of participants is increasing. Hopefully people can learn that its not all just drinks and bikinis in the sun. But for me these shows are a great way to burn some time and see some fantastic stories unfold.

savoir 219 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 The thing for Outremer to have done here would have been to create a new model specially for the LV people to promote. Something like 35ft with no frills would have been ideal. The target market should have been those who identify with these two - 25 to 40 y/o types with a limited budget.

savoir 219 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Can't agree Dylan. There is a world of difference between enjoying some lovely little titties on Youtube and plonking down around $1,200,000 on a new Outremer. That price is my guess for a fully kitted out sail away Outremer 45 not the ex factory price but I could be wrong. I think Lifebuoy is right in that the people who watch their vids are not the people with $1m plus to spend on a boat. The Outremer 45 is not aimed at entry level sailors but rather at sailors with a few years of smaller boat ownership who want something big enough to fit the whole family. I really doubt that very many LV fans are within Outremer's target buyer profile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Type in the name of the boat into the google search engine and google will deliver the la vagina film to the top of the list - a good investment for the loan of a boat for one year for the cat company.

I now give them Bent Swains email address. mono brow, mono brow... never noticed. I am going to defend them now first of all they look great there is no wind on their microphones somehow they edit and upload a film a week - it is all well sound mixed and colour balanced their editing is done on laptops in hot sunny cabins when they would rather be in a bar or on a beach then they have to upload the films - each one is probably 1.5 gigs - that is a lot of bandwidth to find in an exotic place their work ethic is amazing and their camera skills are good - not brilliant but good they spend too long cavorting and mooning at the camera for my liking but they have got a free boat for a year and are earning $9,000 a week a month ago it was closer to $7,000 They know that there is a market for what they do - some of the comments from the blokes talking about freeze framing and masturbating in front of the telly are pretty unpleasant. As an old TV hack the gear needed to make stuff filmed outside cost a bloody fortune. I used to drive around in a van with a quarter of a million squids worth of rented gear and the cameras were not as good as the ones they have and I have now. the films then had to go through a two week edit in a suite costing £300 a day to rent - and the final audio mixing - another half day per half hour - another £400 gone. This should be a golden age of travelling videos - and there are some crackers out there but the market is for tits and cavorting it is not their fault that the market is the way it is - it is us sailors and voyeurs who are to blame. I used to sell DVD films - I had paid for the music. Now that there is no market for DVDs I have been re-digitising them and uploading them to youtube Within seconds of them going up I get these in my inbox one bloke said google is like a cuckoo getting between the creator and the viewer and skimming off all the ad revenue I am in awe of the organisation - do no evil..... my arse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xFishman 0 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I wonder why there are so many haters for the people that have figured out a way to have their vacations / life adventures paid for in part by other dreamers. It is amusing that their skills and what they produce as entertainment media is mocked yet they are out there getting paid to have an adventure while several of the mockers live their lives dispensing their version of the truth on the internet and talking about their unverifiable glory days of the past. To state that the La Vega crew are physically unattractive is delusional and the fact that they use their good looks to assist their brand makes it like so many other entertainment media sources TV, movies and advertising. The fact that some of these folks are getting sponsored by legitimate companies only goes to show the growing viability of personally produced media, mass marketed on the internet. The very success of some of these crews is what gets others believing that they could also do it. Inevitably some efforts will be reasonable some will be trash just like TV shows. If the larger sponsors don’t get some return on their investment they will very shortly pull the support that is how the marketing industry works. If you don’t like this type of entertainment media then simply don’t watch it, problem solved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the larger sponsors don’t get some return on their investment they will very shortly pull the support that is how the marketing industry works. If you don’t like this type of entertainment media then simply don’t watch it, problem solved. I'm not re-living any glory days of the past, I'm living on my boat NOW, sailing about in the world. I don't watch these types of videos. Can't watch really; living the lifestyle myself I've found roughly 99% of them to be painfully insipid and the rest I don't find interesting. I'm not a hater, I'm a realist since I AM there and I'm DOING that, and I struggle with respecting some of these folks. I can't speak to the Vagabonde folks specifically. But I have attempted to watch more than a few of these videos that have been linked here. Yeah, the people are photogenic and the bikinis are nice, albeit some are worn at impractical times (doing engine work? Are you insane? Do you know how many scars I have from working in my engine room and you're in there in a bikini??). But the thing I've seen in so many of them is the sheer cluelessness of the actors. I get the dreamy cruising thing. Hell, we dreamed and we did it. Of course, we did it by saving money and spending years building skills - both spending time on the water and getting education (mine was in boat maintenance skills at a vo-tech, not 'learn to sail') and learning our boat. We didn't set out on some half baked "Let's go buy a boat and learn to sail on the way to paradise while we pay for it with videos" adventure that a 20-something couple dreamed up two months after they met. Besides being too old and fat for that myself (and my wife won't let me film her in a bikini even though she still fits in stuff she wore when we met in college), it seems rather reckless. So I'm not surprised when I've started seeing some of these boat getting smashed up or put on easily avoidable reefs, crews falling apart, etc. It's what I expected to see from some of it since so many of these folks seem so unprepared. So the criticism is fundamentally this: In theory one can buy a boat and sail off with few skills and not die, and if one can rock a bikini and edit film maybe pay for it. But in practice, the bulk of the people that are "living the dream" are a tad more methodical in their methods. Most of the people we've met out cruising are NOT photogenic 20-somethings partying hard in every anchorage. On the whole we're an older (and when I say "older" realize that at 50 I'm one of the "younger" cruisers out there) and more sedate set who've tended to reach a more financially secure point in life. But so many of these Vloggers seem more like Reality TV than real cruising. Big Brother meets Gilligan's Island. Maybe I'm wrong, and I should watch past my point of irritation on these things (which is pretty short...) and there is something more substantial on there. And the other rant is the "how to lectures" from some of these ninnies. "How to buy a boat" lessons from people that are buying their first boat. Really? Do they think they know what they are doing? In one video I don't think either member of the couple had sailed offshore a single night and they're looking at fifty footers, and are planning to buy something way past their skills. I've bought four keel boats in my life and I think I might feel about comfortable tackling that topic. Never mind some of the sage bits about "liveaboard necessities" and so on. I know they need to find content to make into a video to keep the money treadmill going, but come on, actually gather some expertise before you pontificate about how to provision for a natural vegan lifestyle while wearing a bikini to a straw market. Hey, dreaming is great and if you can make it a reality that is awesome. We did it. But...creating legions of hapless followers with no real expectations for the practical reality of what cruising full time on a boat really is isn't really providing a lot of value in my curmudgeonly book. The various message boards on Facebook, /r/sailing, etc. are jammed full of newbie sailors trying to pick out their first "cruise ready" fifty footer that they can sail to someplace warm the day after they close on it. I suspect these videos are helping swell those numbers. In my case I think you are mis-characterizing my disdain for these types of videos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It didn't survive their first trip to the west coast of Tasmania. Not a lot of places to resupply, you see. They decided that my offer of a pressure cooker as a boat-warming present was a good choice after all. I don't hate those people making the tits & boats videos either. I think they're somewhere between vapid and highly misleading, but the tits are nice to look at, I don't take them seriously and I don't give them any money, so where's the downside?

That price is my guess for a fully kitted out sail away Outremer 45 not the ex factory price but I could be wrong. You are wrong. Off by about 50%. But if you use currency exchange rates you can likely justify your uniformed comment somehow. As I said before I do get people knocking on the door of my sailing school inspired by the moustached moron and his Mono- browed GF, but none of them have that kind of Bucks. They are more your Sea Shepard T-shirt owning types that think they can buy a Ex charter Ben 50 for 30k then sail it home to Aus and selling it for 10 times what they paid for it. On the way they will live on the fish they catch and rainwater. To convince them otherwise is hard because they saw it on Youtube. Perhaps that is because only idiots go to a school run by an idiot has been that never was? So a new Outremer 45 is $600K US? This used 2014 model at that price must be grossly overvalued? http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cpsprodpb/94F9/production/_94273183_hi037826759.jpg These kind of boats which are hard to find on the second hand market don't depreciate as much as more ordinary boats.

So if it's $750K USD FOB delivered new, that's about $1 Million in Aussiebucks, which I think is the language Lifebouy speaks in. Not so far off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Not My Real Name 3,591 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I know they need to find content to make into a video to keep the money treadmill going, but come on, actually gather some expertise before you pontificate about how to provision for a natural vegan lifestyle while wearing a bikini to a straw market. In my case I think you are mis-characterizing my disdain for these types of videos. Hah - friends of mine, he 62, she 43, adopted the 'raw vegan' lifestyle. Her decision. I just nodded. It didn't survive their first trip to the west coast of Tasmania. Not a lot of places to resupply, you see. They decided that my offer of a pressure cooker as a boat-warming present was a good choice after all. I don't hate those people making the tits & boats videos either. I think they're somewhere between vapid and highly misleading, but the tits are nice to look at, I don't take them seriously and I don't give them any money, so where's the downside? Disdain is a pretty fair comment. Quotes are a bit boogered - sorry about that. I'm too dim to figure out how to fix it. FKT I had to chuckle because somewhere in the past year or two I stumbled on a young lass who'd moved to Grenada to be near her SO when he went to school there. So she was hanging around a part of Grenada I knew reasonably well (southern end around Prickly Bay), and we got chatting about her frustrations there. One trouble she expressed was that she could not find almond milk and other similar products. Umm...yeah, you are in Grenada. How many ironic beards and Trilby hats do you see around you? They don't really sell that sort of stuff in the markets there...and if they do, it's insanely expensive. But that's a really big "if". Dietary adjustments are a must...

Savoir was talking about 1.2 million USD, which is 1.13 million Euros, grossly inflated IMHO. I am sure that these boats don't loose half their value in 3 years and there is a 2.5 years old one for 565k Euros including VAT : http://www.catamaran-outremer.com/fr/occasions So let's say that the boat new is worth 800k€ inc VAT, that's 660k€ without VAT if you live outside Europe. Not far off from the 50% claim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll leave you girls to your fight but can comment that as I am carefully considering purchase of a new Outremer 45 and having a quote for same, its significantly less than $1MM USD all in. And that $1.2MM price you originally mentioned would still be 20% more than the $1MM you now back peddled to. Anyway its a very nice boat for the price and heaven forbid I occasionally enjoy watching a La Vagabonde video (as well as a few others mentioned in this thread). Oh and its FOB France. That's the way these things work. If you gotta pay somebody another $400K to get it home you are both missing the fun of picking up a boat in the Med, and the enjoyment and/or ability to sail it home.

Just funnin' with you. The other guy at 1 or 1.2 is just a kook. We are watching the space so aware of the boat. Recall it being very very well equipped (maybe too well if you value performance over gracious living) and I would guess in the high 7s / low 8s new. Guessing it sells in the mid/upper 5s. Could be a good deal for somebody properly positioned. Bit of a buyers market though the offerings are a maybe somewhat monochromatic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

psychosailing 1 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Every time I read the title to this thread, I see the words "hot" and "girl" in the same sentence and get all confused. I have no interest in this thread, but putting those two words together pull me in every time. Jammer Six has a point here. I struggle myself a little bit with sailing movies. I don't think I ever watched an episode of any youtube series in his entirety. I am a fast forward guy in this case. Yet I come back to this thread. I tried myself to make movies of my own sailing but I gave up because it's hard work but also because of lack of skills or interest, or both. I don't like to reiterate things I don't like to watch myself, and at the moment I have no great ideas on how to change this. There is something very limited in film making from the perspective of a boat. There are very few sailing movies I find entertaining, and it's usually a single episode rather than a series. Yet I come back here every time. At first because I still had an interest in making my own movies, and when that faded to scout on most recent ways people use for supporting their sailing adventures. It seems that almost everyone who start sailing today make movies, probably because the technology allows anybody to point a camera and edit a movie. It may also be true that anybody who start anything today will shoot a movie about it and put it on youtube. I am also amused by the venomous comments over the "Endless digital forest of mediocrity" (A.Keen) that digital media brings up. And this place is a particularly venomous one. What lure you in watching minutes or even hours of self produced sailing movies? Is it because sailing is a niche and it's not much represented elsewhere in the mainstream media productions? Do you favor story (interesting boat or destination, or crew or all of the above) over storytelling ( a talented storyteller can make a boat that never leaves the marina a compelling story)? Do you look for information over sailing grounds or boat work and maintenance? How important are the tits and the lifestyle? Is sipping cocktails on tropical beaches or shovel snow in the arctic more interesting than the Chesapeake Bay for instance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like the company have gone guarantor on a loan for them to be paid off from their youtube channel. Well good for them. Pretty low risk for the manufacturer - if they default then they get the boat back. And the pair of them are now working for a living instead of asking for handout. But I would rather be cruisiing...

I don't think Brent Swain has a subscription. I guess he doesn't make YouTube videos either. Fortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LB 15 6,506 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I wonder what's the reason behind moving to a bigger nicer boat you have to pay trough a loan, when you already have a boat paid for and you could pretty much do what you want. They waffled on talked about that in the Vid. They wanted a nice home that doesn't tip. And a much more stable platform for filming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not so sweet when they are stealing shit from upside down Catamarans. But maybe they have learned right from wrong over the past few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan winter 1,960 Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Ok I made it to the 4 min mark. Sounds like the company have gone guarantor on a loan for them to be paid off from their youtube channel. Well good for them. Pretty low risk for the manufacturer - if they default then they get the boat back. And the pair of them are now working for a living instead of asking for handout. But I would rather be cruisiing... The two of them have been working pretty hard over the past 18 months or so since their channel started to really shift. They have been churning out a effectuively shot, nicely lit, perfectly sound recorded and competently edited 18 minute film each week.There must be days when it is blooming hard to sit below in paradise on a laptop editing each film. Thier bandwidth costs must be massive. The two of them are also immensely photogenic and have a very natural way of talking to a camera. They bring a lot of skills to the table. The product is perfectly targetted at their audience. I find that I am slightly embarrassed to be caught watching films where a women young enough to be my grand-daughter and wearing the skimpiest of clothes is waving her her perfect tush at the camera while emoting cutely at dolphins. However, they have established themselves as the market leader in the field and have pushed the previous encumbent - SV Delos - off the top of the heap. Better films re available - but no-one come close to these two for productivity, cuteness, work ethic and an almost perfect understanding of the burgeoning winches and wenches genre of travelogue. It is getting crowded out there. I noticed that the bikini video makers have started bumping into each other as they follow the fairly predictable route around the islands, beaches, bars and hot spots of the round the world route for lushes. Goodonem. The comments on youtube are priceless as besotted followers keep on mentioning buying wedding rings. The audience is in love with the unfolding soap opera.

dylan winter 1,960 Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 What ever floats your boat I guess... My boat is unfloated by the end product - it bores me sideways all that waving of body parts - but.... as a former tv prog maker as a product it is brilliant. Those two will go onto excellent careers in front of a camera they might even end up on a sofa on morning TV gurning at each other it is a soap opera - one of the most successful genres ever created D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tekton 1 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Sure, Dylan, but who shoots J.R.???? The entire genre is one spearfishing mishap away from being the next Bachelor/ette. Kevlar dive suits, anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jack_sparrow 7,696 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I agree about your technical appraisal Dylan....but this genre has already hit its peak...the numbers don't lie...My bet a cheap multi will be on the market this time next year, and Riley goes back to working on a oil rig/mine and the chick becomes superyacht hostess fodder to pay off the monster debt they have now incurred signing up for the floating verandah. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kris Cringle 2,164 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Ok, you guys finally got me to click the vid,... A skim was all I could do(I've gotta get to work). They're good, nice kids. I give them credit for fearlessness. I like that. I don't know the genre but I'm glad to know,... I clicked the best of it. Thank you. Want some sailing? This amatuer vid is by a son of the owner of the Alden Mistral, TI. The kid caught some great footage (just a Go-pro?) while this crew of large old guys won their class and overall in the Marion to Bermuda race a couple seasons ago. They made the old boat, go. Quote
