As someone who recently moved onto a boat after discovering all those YouTube channels, I agree! I've found the less produced channels to be the most exciting.
My favorite recent channel is called “Boring Sailing,” which the algorithm served up, but has very few subscribers. It’s actually—truly—been boring to watch, at times, but you have to root for him!
“Wilding sailing,” on the other hand, is a much more ambitious labor fest, with the boat owner restoring a catamaran he bought for 2k Euros. That’s been inspiring, entertaining, and really worth subscribing to.
