This week on Youtube, the editors' choice of 5 videos to watch

Every week, we review YouTube channels dedicated to the sea, sailing, boats, fishing and water sports. Here is our current selection.

The Duracell project

The story of a crazy and ambitious project led by a couple from Washington State, USA, to transform Mike Plant's former 60-foot transoceanic racer into a fast, comfortable cruising yacht.

If you're a Bateaux.com regular, you already know all about the project. Two weeks after the birth of their son, Matt and Janneke get back to work. This time Matt tackles the windlass, chain well and chain track in a job that is as tedious as it is spectacular.

WiJo around the world

The adventures of a French couple who decided to drop everything to live aboard their boat. First on a Leopard 45 L catamaran, then on a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 43 DS. Here, they share with you their sailing experiences, their DIY projects, their discoveries and the occasional difficulties they encountered along the way.

This week Johanna and William take stock, one year after buying their Sun Odyssey. What they like, what they don't like and the modifications they've made to the boat. There's also a bit of DIY, carpentry and work on the propeller, with the (not-so-obvious) use of certain products.
