Hi Greatcircle, you took a nice walk in the south of France, I see a new drone too is it the Dji Avata 2 ?

We are planning to follow your route in spring 2025 leaving from Volendam. When exactly did you leave NL, it looked quite esrly? Which routes over the North Sea did you consider in your planning? Your videos motivated us. SY Nxt Lvl, Lagoon 39

We didn’t experience a lot of difference between the standard antifouling Outremer uses and the seajet 039 or the jutil? Stuff they put on in mackay. All ok.

@@hansh8071 hey Hans you mean downwind or upwind. Upwind might have been just lazy downwind we are used to stick them just a little bit in to catch floating stuff first as there are no skegs.

Is that the standard set up for winches, foresails and wheel on the 52 or just new boat and not tuned? Seems a bit short for such a boat and outremers experience? Or just watched too many of Marc’s rapid sail changes on GC 😂
@CatGreatcircleАй бұрын
I expect that the position of the winches themselves can’t be changed but that the deck layout in terms of routing of the lines can be changed. I’ve seen different setups on different 52’s

In a catamarn's name, does the number indicate the length of the boat, or is it something else? For instance, XYZ boat 32; does that indicate the boat is 32 feet? Silly question but I was curious :)

Most of the time, sometimes meters and sometimes brands think it makes sense to exaggerate a bit (eg Saona 47 isn’t even 46 foot)

I never understand why people order a new boat and immediately sell their old one. Only to be stuck ashore for 2-3 years waiting for delivery of the new boat. Sure if you really need the money to pay the new boat deposit. But otherwise you just get 2-3 years older while waiting.
