Hey there sailing enthusiasts and adventure seekers! Get ready for an epic binge-watching experience that’ll take you on a feature-length journey like no other. Sailing Fair Isle has crafted a special compilation episode featuring some of the top moments from their incredibly popular YouTube series, and we couldn’t be more excited to dive in.
For those who may not know, Sailing Fair Isle is a delightful YouTube series that documents the incredible voyage undertaken by couple Chris and Jools. They set sail on their boat, Fair Isle, with dreams of traveling around the world in mid-50s. Their adventure began by selling their house and downsizing to the lovely Christian 48t yacht. Over time, they have become well-respected filmmakers and journalists while exploring various locations across the UK, Mediterranean Sea, and eventually Caribbean.
What is Sailing Fair Isle Feature Length?
The feature-length episode of Sailing Fair Isle focuses on providing an all-in-one binge-watching experience for fans of the show. Instead of following along with new episodes every fortnight, viewers can now enjoy a compilation of everything from the beginning. This makes it easier to catch up or revisit some amazing moments that occurred during their initial journey.
The First Leg: Starting in Eastborne
Chris and Jools’ incredible adventure began in Eastborne, where they spent two years refitting their boat, Fair Isle. From there, they sailed along the southern coast of England to Plymouth before meeting up with a group of similar boats for the Ark Portugal event.
Setting off on a sunny summer day, the couple embarked on their life-changing adventure filled with excitement and anticipation. As they journeyed through various locations in Europe and the Caribbean, Sailing Fair Isle documented every remarkable moment for their adoring fans.
A Compilation of Highlights
The feature-length episode allows viewers to witness breathtaking moments, including gorgeous coastal views and heart-stopping encounters with wildlife such as seals and dolphins. Not only does the series showcase the amazing places they visit, but it also highlights the importance of good preparation and proper navigation techniques when traveling through unfamiliar waters.
The Storm in Bay of Biscay
One event that stood out during their journey was the storm they encountered while sailing through the treacherous waters of the Bay of Biscay. It tested not only their boat’s resilience but also their mental and emotional strength as they battled high winds and monstrous waves.
This event demonstrated how important it is for all adventurers, whether on land or sea, to be prepared for unexpected situations and learn from each challenge faced along the way. Despite these hardships, their determination and perseverance allowed them to push through these obstacles, strengthening their bond with one another and with fellow sailors participating in the Ark Portugal race.
A Journey Worth Sharing
Sailing Fair Isle has been an amazing journey not just for Chris and Jools, but also for their audience. By sharing highlights of their adventure in a feature-length compilation episode, viewers now have a convenient way to catch up on memorable moments while preparing for future episodes.

Feature length - from the beginning | Season 1 (part 1) Locations
Sailing Fair Isle
We have sold our house in the UK and moved aboard our boat. She is a classic cutter rigged 48 foot Hans Christian; a very strong blue water boat more than capable of sailing around the world. Just hope we are! We are professional documentary filmmakers working for the BBC and many other TV stations around the world. Broadcasters aren't interested in commissioning sailing programs these days so we are launching our channel online. Sailing Fair Isle is aiming to be more than just a vlog showing our travels. It will be a travel log, but also a documentary style show with proper content and broadcast technical standards. That's the plan anyway. Lets see how it goes.
