We are two crazies from South Africa, Frik & Petro. We knew absolutely nothing about sailing, but the ocean has always been calling. So, we got rid of all our stuff, bought a Leopard 45 Catamaran, and set sail. Follow us as this story unfolds! This is a sea-life adventure captained by a couple of nomads who have built their lives on doing what inspires them in the moment. Join us and see how we break free of the traditional lifestyle, creating videos of our journey, adventures, life on board, and lessons learned along the way. It will be super rewarding if we can be an inspiration or contribute in any way to anybody wanting to fulfil their dreams.
SISU (Finnish concept) is a grim, gritty, white-knuckle form of courage in situations where success is against the odds. Taking action against the odds and displaying courage and resoluteness in the face of adversity, in other words, deciding on a course of action and then sticking to that decision even despite repeated failures.

Yup, remember the awesome lettuce we had🤗

[@brentdreisbach6829]

Great video of some rocking and rolling. Love those catamaran swim trunks! 😂

[@SailingSisu]

It was a great party 🎉. You can get those trunks from our store www.sailingsisu.com

[@kirstenmccarthy4171]

Great video Petro & Frik. So impressed that your herb garden is looking so healthy after all these years!

[@SailingSisu]

Thank you Kirsten!!! The garden is new . . . we got Aero Gardens now. Much easier to maintain, and the harvest is amazing.

[@davidballabio2264]

Thanks for the interesting video. Cheers

[@SailingSisu]

Glad you enjoyed it David 👌

Great job guys

[@SailingSisu]

Thank you Ryan 😉

[@RVEnthusiast]

You guys are good people. Again long time viewer, seldom commenter.

[@SailingSisu]

Thank you so much for the kind words, and your ongoing support, it is greatly appreciated 👍

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

That looked like a wonderful group of people. When laughter is often, you know the company is good. Cheers from Winnipeg.

[@SailingSisu]

They were for sure Peter. We had loads of fun 😊

[@trevhedges]

Thanks guys! I remember when them little planes were just a concept company.. 100 beers in one country or 1 beer in 100 countries.. very cool…

[@SailingSisu]

They are pretty cool, there were 2 of them landing between all the boats. Yup we had a lot of beers in 6 days . . . .

[@trevhedges]

@@SailingSisu just like that concept, I’m going to have a beer in 100 different countries.. why not? As good a plan as any..

[@tonyfromaus7855]

Wow. So pleased to see a group of people expressing the gratitude (that we also feel) to you two for the inspiration you provide. You deserve the accolades. Btw Frik, Petro is nicely capturing the majesty of your bulbous bow by shooting from the cockpit upwards towards you at the helm. :) A few beers in the making…. :)

[@SailingSisu]

Thank you for the kind words Tony, much appreciated 👍. Yup took a few beers to get there🍻

[@chrisstephen4563]

What a lovely family of Leopard owners ❤❤❤❤❤

[@SailingSisu]

O absolutely, they are all passionate about sailing and what a lovely likeminded encounter. So many stories were told, and obviously loads of beer and laughter.

[@brownnoise357]

Great Party, and cute planes.nice looking home baked bread too (my last job was evening shift Barman, when locally Bread Making Machines were taking off, so I made Wednesday night, best loaf of Bread night with a pint of beer on me, for the best loaf ) Best Wishes.Bob.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🌟🌟⛵️❤️

[@SailingSisu]

That bread was amazing!!!!! You had loads of fun when you were at the brewery, didn't you 😊🍻, and what a nice way to show and tell all your patron's bread. Just love bread, specially homemade, but my body doesn't agree. I will look like a nice homemade farm bread at the end of the day if I indulged. As a rule, we don't even carry bread on Sisu, only special occasions I will bake one . . .

[@brownnoise357]

@@SailingSisu I was ok making Bread with the Breadmaker tbh, issues only arose when I started making Cakes with one. OMG I had access to really cheap over ripe bananas in the local shop, and the Banana, Coconut and Glace Cherry Cake was Die for.I just had to Stop Making Them.🤣🤣🤣 Best Wishes. Bob.👍⛵️🌟🌟🌟❤️

[@SailingSisu]

Sounds super yummy!!!!!

[@brownnoise357]

@@SailingSisu Unfortunately, it really was, I just modified a really good Madeira Cake Recipe, and when I got to making three Cakes a week, realised that I really had to stop making them. lol. Best Wishes. Bob.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧⛵️🌟🌟🌟❤️

[@Boody523]

We had such a great time that week!! Great video

[@SailingSisu]

It was super special to have you guys on board Mike. Real fun crowd you are.

[@VEJ2]

Pitru to show the sea state on camera use a window as a mirror. For example your cockpit door or rear windows.

[@SailingSisu]

Wow, great idea!!! I will try it, thank you.

[@Skippernick1957]

That float plane is a death trap.

[@SailingSisu]

LOL, it looked like it took a bit of strain getting off the water . . .

[@IconicFlight]

@@SailingSisuit’s an awesome plane but I do have to question the pilots decision doing takeoffs and high power setting (pouch taxiing) so close to anchored boats. So much high power on the water without good cooling made him have to shutdown to let it cool off. The first guys takeoff was close to people and not great. I wonder if he had water in his bilge adding to his weight, or he inadvertently relaxed back stick pressure. 🤔

[@johnw6538]

Never know what you'll see out on the water, that take off looked a little to close for comfort. Speaking of comfort, can you tell which oven you are using please?

[@SailingSisu]

Hey John, you can say that again . . . was real scary when he came very close to Sisu. We have a Sage Inverter multi function oven/microwave. Works like a charm. The air fry function is also really cool.

[@johnw6538]

Thank you so much!@@SailingSisu , I really enjoy your straightforward approach to your sailing channel. Hope to share a harbor sometime.

[@SailingSisu]

That would be awesome ⛵
