I've got a number of YouTube channel recommendations if you weren't aware of them already (https://willj.net/posts/youtube-sailing-channel-recommendati...). A large number of those channels have done a lot of off-shore sailing, and many have done multiple ocean crossings.

One sailor that I enjoy watching is Patrick Laine[1]. The back catalog has a lot of coastal single-handing (coast of France mostly). Then he started circling the Atlantic.

Thank you, I will have a look :) This YT channel is gem I found: https://www.youtube.com/@SailingTipsCa Doesn't post a lot, not very high production quality but very high quality information.

On hiatus from sailing due to family reasons; most recent video:

Are there any channels that deal specifically with the America's Cup and learning about it and the boats? TIA

Mozzy is by far the best and most detailed channel out there for the AC, 10/10 recommend. Has the systems understanding, ability (and confidence) to make predictions, while keeping the video's at a length that is still digestible. Also has a nice speaking voice which brings a level of classiness to it.

No, these are all cruisers rather than racers. There's a mix of sailing and lifestyle, but then for a lot of them it's hard to just film the sailing because there's only so much sailing you can actually do when you live on your boat.

you can add the sailing frenchman -- great mix of caribean sailing, singlehanded racing, pretty down to earth:

Huh, I thought he was on there. I will try to get round to adding him.
