FULL Sailboat Tour 1978 Bristol Channel Cutter 28 (Solo Woman’s Home) & For Sale

Описание: This video showcases my sailboat, the systems in place, and the boat under sail. I purchased the boat in the Dominican Republic, did a massive refit on the boat, and then sailed her in the Bahamas as a shakedown. I made some minor adjustments there, and then sailed the boat 650nm in the Gulf Stream to Oriental, North Carolina, where she is now docked for her new owner!

😀 Welcome to Sailing Artha 😀

Hi there, my name is Nicole, and my single-handed journey began in 2022 on a Columbia 26. It now continues on my new boat, a 28’ Bristol Channel Cutter named Artha (the name translates to “that which allows one to pursue her dream.”) I’m on a giant adventure of seeing the world and leaving it a better place! Follow me as I experience all the hard and fun times of this lifestyle. Thanks for watching, subscribing, and commenting.
