Great video Nick and Megan - I'm with you on this ! the other thing of course is 'collision' - with a whale or a submerged object - fishing fads and more ! I'm seeing more and more stuff floating in the oceans and going fast could come at a heavy cost !

I find you guys fun & very intelligent. I have just subscribed ;).

i get sea sick just by looking at this

Hey Megan! I'm curious. How do you track all of your expenses? Just a spreadsheet? I know there is a ton of apps out there, but they are either clunky, don't feel right, or you need an internet connection (which is a problem on a boat :p).

The problem with aluminium cats on market, is that so little of them being made. And even less made professionaly with right alloy that have 6% of magnesium. And among those tiny numbers of good Al-Mg catamarans there is no real choise. I wonder why modern manufacturers avoid Al-Mg catamarans and we don't see new start-ups. Because demand on catamarans is so big now, yet we don't see new brands now.

Nick, I love all of your videos on the weather related things! Been trying to learn what I can to feel confident in finding those good weather windows. Examples are always greatly appreciated!

Hello are you only using this unit to cool your bedroom? Can it also cool the saloon or would that not be needed as I remember you saying in your video? Thank you.

June 9, 2024 regarding the HH cats. The HH-SC means it has carbon fiber dagger boards so you can sail closer to the wind and a few knots more of.speed. With the OC being their true hybrid regeneration cruising version cat - without the boards. Under sail the HH cats twin propellesr spin generating electrical power for the batteries. . .

This might be a weird question. How do you dispose of toiletpaper, since you can't flush it down?

Where are you now? What’s the latest updates -any???thx

Hope all is well…please post something soon

Gonna have to send out a search party for the O'Kelleys. MIA..🧐🥸🤓

Sickening

Crooks

🤞

I have no idea if the boat fell through, or what your budget is, but if it did, and you have 800k laying around, the baddest 47' Neel just came up on the market. "Supernova" is a 2022 Neel that is set up with everything you could ever want in a cruising boat. For the one time low low price of 815k! lol Hope y'all are well.

Thank you. Your information and experience save time.

Que des beaux bateaux ❤

Please don't go back to normal life and give up on sailing. There are enough normal people running around on dirt wishing that they could be sailors. They just hate their normalcy but are to afraid to give it up because it's predictable. To let go and to live in harmony with nature and to be adventurous. Oh one of your older videos popped up on my play list. It was about trimming your sails and how it affects your speed and the amount your auto pilot has to fight against your boat. Yeah most people will say it only affect is 1 mile per hour. But the difference between going 6 miles per hour versus 7 miles per hour is actually alot on a sailboat. Not to mention that you will reduce the amount that your auto pilot has to compensate is a factor also because you will use less energy to drive your auto pilot and the wear and tear on your auto pilot. It was a great video and it is one that I will always remember what you shared.😊

Hi guys my name is Martin and I have been following you since Covid , I was never able to give a like or comment due to limited internet access and wi-fi. I am able to verify that without your contribution to my sanity I would be a mess today. Thank you for every video you have made and posted, it is what made things bearable, I am forever grateful to you, thank you 🙏

Come on guys. Give us an update. The survey revealed a bunch of faults and you are negotiating who is to pay for rectification?

So what’s up, new boat? Anyone, Anyone..?

great video.

Guys, I 100% thought you two were some American TV people I hadn't seen on TV yet. (Both too photogenic to be real:) Not to take away from your info, which was great!

Nick, Megan, where are you?? What's happening? Hey Nick, time to pull out of the market. I see a dump in the horizon! Go buy another newer Leopard or reel in this deal you've been working on. I see the sailboat market is starting to take a dump. That's good. Hopefully, you scoop up a great deal on something.

4:26 your iridium on all the time 😂. Less electricity draw but massive draw on you bank account

Thanks for that nice and quite complete comparison of monohull vs catamaran. I appreciate the different categories you made, it helps to see pros and cons based on what we value more important or not. Thanks!

ok im gonna buy an airstream instead

In my experience my 2011 Nautitech 441 is a performance cruiser. At 13 tons with 800l of water, dinghy and provision it is pleasingly fast. In 12kts on a reach we sail at 7.5kts. With 20 kts in the eastern Caribbean we average 9.5kts often doing 10-11 between Islands and 7.5 in the lee

Looking for a video update, this is old

Add wether live forcecat live work delivary

How about a 5 minute update on how things are going with the transaction. I assume you would do this if you could (if it was in your best interest) but playing your cards publicly is not a good strategy, especially if things are not going as smoothly as hoped for....which never happens...right?🤣 Wishing the best of luck on this one and hope to hear some good news soon!!!

$100 its the Windelo 54 thats been for sale. 🤞🏼

Too funny!

I enjoy your content guys; it's always interesting and informative. One of the things which distinguishes you from the many many other sailing channels is your fluent, off-the-cuff speaking. There is nothing more disengaging than listening to someone who is plainly reading from a script. Keep it up - you've almost got me convinced to buy a catamaran!

It has been a month since last video. 😢 You guys okay? Have you got on this mystery boat yet? Just thinking about you guys today.🤔

Hello, I wonder if you folks are ok. It has been a while since your last update.

Are we ever going to hear from you again?

Fantastic video illuminating what really matters. I known you’ll find a great boat! I cant wait to see your new adventures.

The air actually doesn't accelerate through the slot. That's kinda of an old theory that got passed around for a long time. Now that they have tested it with pressure and speed sensors it's now proven that the air speed and volume decreases in the slot vs just having the main up. Instead more air is forced around the head sail and at an increased angle of attack. Then the draw of the main allows the head sail to be trimmed in harder without causing leech separation because wind velocity at the leach has increased velocity from the main. So it's really all about the main increasing the efficiency of the head sail instead of the headsail throwing more air at the main. In fact the head sail causes the main to sail at a lower angle of attach to the wind and reduces power it would have without the headsail.

Very good resume of the experience… do some more we are dreaming 😍

Thank you so much. You helped me - bluewater sailing on an aluminium monohull and missing sometimes the speed - to dig much deeper into the performance catamaran thing. Top information on a professional-like level!

Great review.

Many thanks guys for such a balanced an informative video - keep them coming. I'm just about to watch your Episode 2. I'm at a early stage [understatement] of considering buying and living aboard full-time a boat in the Med. This has helped form some nascent views.

Is there a simulator Catamaran program you can practice on?

straight off the bat...$100k silly money...i got my cat for £2k

I'll get what I cam but I'm sure no ones going to check on my dog lol

I need to know how you deal with the heat with the dog. Also what about too much salt water intake?

Nathan Fillion, is that you?

This is a very helpful video. Thank you
