1] We Bought A DIRT CHEAP CATAMARAN With NO EXPERIENCE | TINY Sailboat Tour & Channel Intro

*** This is the first ever video we made. Please be gentle ;) We've improved our video production A LOT since we made this video. For better videos, skip to ep 11.
We’re Elena and Ryan. We quit our jobs to live aboard SV Kittiwake and set off on a sailing adventure on a budget. In this episode we tell you a bit about our voyage and give you a boat tour. Join us as we sail from the UK to the Mediterranean over summer 2017 and 2018. Subscribe to our channel for more videos!
Thanks for watching our first sailing vlog; we hope you enjoyed it. In the NEXT EPISODE, we’ll set off from Falmouth (UK) and sail to the Isles of Scilly - some tropical-looking islands off the coast of Cornwall.

Where did you get the music, btw?

[@nealeburgess6756]

That looks a lot of boat for 10K. I really like it. And I really like the video. It is nice to see someone that I can identify with. I will never have 500K to spend on a boat, so although it is nice to see content of people living on them, your boat makes me think, "Could I do that?". And don't apologize for the video. I watched it, and only thought, "Wow, that looks great!" Liked the music too. I have yet to see your later productions, but I doubt they will be any better than this. Truly, this gets 10 out of 10 from me.

[@SailingKittiwake]

Thank you 🙏 We have improved our videos so much though, it’s a bit embarrassing for us to watch these old ones 😊

[@Richsalvageconsultan]

I thought the "sound effects" were one of the best bits of this one -- told me that I'd probably prefer a monohull, built of either wood or ferrocement. (Though I suppose that one gets Well Used to the constant slap of wavelets; such that you feel a bit uncomfortable, staying at a land-based motel!)

You guys seem to have a safety conscious and courteous attitude, which I found refreshing. As with Dylan's videos, I appreciate it when you give a little historical overview of some of the places that you visit. I appreciate that you worked so hard to whip your boat into shape.

Yeeeppeee! Thanks a lot Roger ☺️ We do get better at making videos in the next 70+ episodes 😊 promise.

[@bengrizzlyadams6187]

It’s really 2 boats compared to a monohull.

This is a great starter video guys... please don't apologise. Lots of us really appreciate the authenticity and honesty rather than slick productions and super-duper improvements etc. We actually want to see your progression for what it actually is. I'll be working my way through from this very beginning video like most others I suspect. Hope you guys are safe & happy! I'm sure you have been asked this a thousand times but how much was the boat and where did you get it from... just for repetitions sake of course?

Love that your cat has a wooden front instead of the normal trampoline. If I could have a cat like that I'd want the same thing myself. The ONLY things I think I'd want to change about that cat is installing electric water pumps. Seems you have more than enough power to deal with them,.

[@stephenmundane]

KeepTurningLeft sent me here and it was worth the trip -- great stuff. One suggestion, you might want to invest in a microphone windshield/make one to improve the sound in the on-deck footage. Oh, and the link to your blog on the video description here doesn't work (I tried three different browsers). The link from your Twitter feed and your channel's "About" section works though. Your blog is a very good read. With much admiration and best wishes for your journey.

[@SailingKittiwake]

Thanks very much! We'll get the link sorted (good spot!). We do have a decent mic on our big camera but its lens is no good for filming on the boat - it's too zoomed in, so we had to use the Gopro with its built-in mic for the boat tour. We've got a little foam cover for the Gopro now, so hopefully that'll sort the sound out. Thanks for the compliments, and for taking the time to check us out. You're very kind. Fair winds!
