6 CATAMARANS WORTH INVESTIGATING

[@laurence9695]

The Windelo 50 and 54 are incredible boats. A bit of an Ikea interior, but that forward cockpit, fully enclosed and all lines leaving to it, is absolutely genius. And right there next to the mast!!!

[@HeadCannonPrime]

I agree, that forward cockpit is IMO the future for Cats. Just wish they had better looking curves in their design.

[@jamesgrim3373]

No need to apologize for attending this boat show. You are professionals now especially when it comes to multi hulls and sailing now. And you are driving the industry toward electric drive, solar, generation off water current while underway and rain water capture. I love your show. I am patiently waiting to see you take delivery. And this type of show between boats is great.

[@chrispomfret8592]

Love that Nikki has made a step forward in her sailing experience by preferring to helm from the side & rear.

The only thing i wanted on my 50th birthday was a lil Wynns and coffee. Mission accomplished.

Thank you so much for keeping your channel fresh with new things to see like this episode. I’ll probably never own a sailboat but I am just fascinated with seeing the life of people who do. Thank you so much for your wonderful show.

[@dianastevens9156]

Thanks for taking me to the boat show with you!

[@bubbawilson4941]

Living the best life. The Wynns are such a great example that this does not just happen to you. You have to seek it and work at it. Overcome and keep moving back to center. They teach us much more than boating.

[@gonewiththewynns]

Awwww, thanks for the 💙💛💙! We have the best crew!

[@burddog0792]

Windelo is my new lotto boat. The central helms are such a great idea, and I'm sure they make the boat feel smaller and easier to sail compared to 'traditional' cat helms or especially aft helms. 54 foot boat with only about 27 feet in front of you. Outremer definitely has the best 'traditional' cat helms and it's great that closing off the cockpit isn't an afterthought either.

[@andrewkeller1195]

Y'all do the best job at showin the entire boat. I've seen other videos of boat tours and they suck, compaired to you 2. Keep up the great work

[@TTM-GEB]

I love the articulating nav chair on the second boat... (Outremer)

[@FisherBrosandtheHumanTribe]

Jason, I've been meaning to send this for a long time. A lot of your audience use subwoofers. Because you don't, you don't hear the low frequencies that sabotage your sound anytime the wind's blowing or there is low end info at sea. The bass frequencies envelop high end, resulting in difficult-to-distinguish speech. I suggest rolling it off with a steep curve at around 60 to 80 hertz. Still loving your show, buddy!

[@MrDannyr2000]

Nikki & Jason I do believe a lot of the thinking by boat manufacturers has changed because of the reviews and opinions of sailers like yourselves and Nick and Terysa of Ruby Rose 2 , your KZbin channels have given them and honest insight of what is important to the end user, with your unbiased reviews and opinions, it can only help improve the end product

[@gonewiththewynns]

💙💛💙

[@groolbeard6596]

Smoothest transition to add of any sailing youtube I have ever seen. Props.

[@sagemorgan]

I just love you guys! What a nice, genuine ending. I know you hit a bit of a bump recently but you are recovering very strong. Your analytical minds and positive outlooks are a huge part of why I enjoy watching your videos. It's actually quite nice to see you guys somewhere besides your own boat doing your "regular" lifestyle. Cheers my dears! 🙏🏽💓

[@jhk8513]

The windelo 54 is, to my mind, the boat ever.😍😘👏👍

[@jimconstantine5807]

It was great to see boats I’ve never seen before. Would it be possible to put together some content about the technologies/vendors you alluded to at the end?

[@carsonc1272]

Windelo has it figured out. I hope that they inspire future boat design.

[@Xocolatben]

The Broadblue 550 skunks them all. Its fast, strong and unique with its inside central cockpit and dual reversible winches.

[@poerava]

You guys are so good to us, making these videos. Thank you 🙏🏽 That Windelo with those garage doors are genius.

[@JohnnyLawBMC]

Lots of great info. The designs are changing, aren't they. It is nice to be around and seeing the changes for the better. Seems like Yachting full time has taken grip with the builders. We loved all the unique things of each boat. From the basics to the very nice. You guys did a great job providing some insight to all of this. We do like the inside NAV area, too. Thank you so much.

[@teresapittman8354]

You guys spoil us with the quality of your video. Thank you!

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Lots of ideas. 💡 Variety is the spice of life. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@Nick-im3sm]

I love love LOVE the Windelo line. People knock it for having a bit of an "IKEA touch" on the inside, but I think it's more than made up for with how convertible that boat really is. I too love the deep wood look as much as the traditionalists, but having a boat with sort of blend between outside/inside means those wood materials will be subject to the elements more than perhaps, a fully closed interior might be. As far as the electric drive/diesel range extender idea? I LOVE THAT! Everyone should be doing that. Sailboats tend to be hard on their main engines since you tend to heat cycle them a lot.. Short runs for 5-15 mins to leave the marina, then shut them off. Then just to restart them for another 5-15 mins to moor up or to get into the marina or whatever your situation is. Short runs on engines shortens their lives. This boat on the other hand, will do up to 4 hours at 6kts if my research serves, and only then would run the generator to assist, and the range on the hybrid system alone is incredible. I love the idea of a generator that will run for a few hours to top off batteries and then shut down once no longer needed, and it'll run at a more or less constant RPM and probably last 3-5x longer than most main engines will because it's so controlled, and only occasionally used. The electric motors themselves? It's one moving part vs many on a ICE engine. Reliability shouldn't be much of an issue at all with such a simple design, and Bell, who make the motors/controllers, is a company that is everywhere which means serviceability should be no issue and I'm sure they can "remote in" and solve any software issues as long as you have internet. All that for the 50' version which is a bargain compared to many others of similar size IMHO, starting under 1.5M. I'd do mine with the U shaped galley, the office with dual pullmans forward port, and the bunks on the starboard cabins just like the one shown as well. My only small issue would be the laundry situation is a bit lacking for a live aboard. That tiny washer/dryer would need a lot of runs to do a load of laundry for one person, let alone any guests you might have onboard. I suppose one can customize and add a larger one somewhere if needed. Small potatoes for what is otherwise an amazing concept! Having the forward cockpit is a plus for visibility too, though might prove a bit challenging for docking purposes due to being low/inwards on the boat. Nothing that some practice can't solve!

[@justincase5272]

I also love the forward helm, particularly for colder climates. Yes, it's nice to feel the sea breeze, but it's nice to be warm, too.

[@flyermarkbig465]

I don’t Sail but I am really impressed with the boats you toured. Well done.

[@CallieCatCuddles]

Nikki and Jason, Love your video today like always, but since I've been in the hospital since your last one, I REALLY looked forward to a pre-hospitalization activity! My first mug of coffee in a week and your video. Thank God for some "normal" in a disastrous week and you two for being able to touch base with a weekly routine during a time when I didn't know if I'd make it. It's really good to see you again!

[@gonewiththewynns]

Goodness, glad you're here to watch!

[@tinamenefee6340]

Loved to see all the boats, but I can’t wait to see yours. 🎉

[@koehl405]

Great Sunday Morning from Florida. Thanks and be safe.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

I loved the tour of the various boats & liked a few of their features. I was so glad to see you both! I hope you both have a good week!

[@ianb4801]

I just love all those big catamarans, the best safety feature ever for monohull sailors. Everyone knows that they get struck by lightning first so dock near one and you’re safe!

[@joelipinski7731]

Good morning from Stillwater Minnesota, happy to see another video from you!!

[@jimmyshadden6236]

I wonder, how many job offers you both must get with all the knowledge you've gained. I think you both would be terrific salesmen!

Best Vid in ages guys, Not that all your vids aren't great but ,you look energized again and ready to go to sea ,lovely to see. Have fun

[@trevorford8332]

I love boats and being near rivers, and oceans are good for mental health but I'm thinking a hologram would be better and a lot safer!!

[@junesorenson279]

With this . . You get to see all the different options, you also get SANDBLASTING 😘 Thank you for @showing us the New Options

[@LydieBaillie]

thank you for showing these amazing catamarans. so luxurious inside. i would still worry about so much window exposure while at sea and tight spaces can be a good thing in bumpy conditions. I think the minimalist one, cat-c 50? was pretty cool .

[@donnayhz3568]

These are so cool, the rain capture option is amazing and I am surprised it wasn't a bigger thing in past boats built. I'm finally caught up on your videos and I am super excited to see what's coming!

[@gonewiththewynns]

Right! It always surprises me more manufactures don’t have rain capture.

[@ernestbamburg329]

The Wynns are great people, thanks.

[@DO5729]

I remember when you all didn't know anything about boats and sailing. This reminds me of your RV show days.

[@bricevdv]

windelo is our favorite, we had the chance to test the 50 at sea, and really good experience! now working on the figures to make the dream come true! And you were welcomed in France because you are very nice :) If you come to the Cannes boat show in September, happy to show you around!

[@clivewilliams5271]

All that sand blowing in reminds me of the back counter of our 5th wheel last summer when we went up and down the Dempster Hwy. Vented/crank windows on the back of the 5th wheel aren't dust proof.

[@robc1952]

[@cherylsibson2529]

It's good to keep an open mind in designs, thanks for the show!

[@SBUTLER3]

Lots of cool idea I saw behind the scenes, little things I can do on our little lake boat. Love your videos!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

At sea the windelo handles like a sports cat balanced but super safe and dry...even in those sort of conditions...going into the wind in a severe Med chopper sea. They have already had one do an 8 month circuit of the N Adlantic. Home via Newfoundland and Iceland the Faroes and Irish sea. Even using aircon and full familly house mode then heating on the Northern return ... They only used 800L in eight months. The Windelo is not only green hybrid drive the hulls insulated and skinned in Basalt... So its light... It has three basic versions and two hull lengths. The early ones were 48... 50s and later ones added an extra 5-6 feet. Good show tour... and good to see multihulls.

[@CesarGonzalez-kt7vp]

Nice, But I can't wait to see you guys back on the water in your new home! ❤🖖

Good video, the dual inside steering was nice.

[@sarahbethsstitching9937]

Loved this so much. I love getting to see other boat models as well as when you had a motor coach and you went to rv shows. It was fun to tour things with you and see what was new and upcoming💞💞

[@jeroenjansen2709]

Intetesting! But there is no stop on continuing development. My priorities would be 1) Safety, seaworthiness and robustness. Huge windows and square portholes is a nono 2)Sailability, stability, performance, ease of use of winches etc. 3) Practicality of interior. A bed in the main cabin is out if the question, what about privacy when you are in the harbour 4) No unnecessary heavy finishings of the interior

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Loved the on-deck shower. I'm all about easy cleaning! Thanks for another informative video. Safe travels ❤️

[@dahveed284]

I have looked at the aft helm boats you discuss at 16 minutes in. I think that would be great if you're in a colder climate, but in a hot climate, the exposed position would be hot, IMHO. I sort of like the idea of the helm right up front (I think it was the Windelo boat). But I have never actually seen one in person. And you're correct that as you sail and learn more, you'll develop a preference that works for you and the type of sailing you like to do.

[@electricboatal]

That was very interesting. I am amazed at how well the designers have addressed so many of the quirks of sailing. It is as if they have a solution for everything. It has been over 50 years since I have done any deep water sailing and I have to say that it is much more enticing now with all of the thoughtful features on todays boats. With that said I feel that you have chosen your,next boat very well. It will serve you very well and I can’t wait for your videos about sailing it. Kindest Regards Your Pal Al

[@vickyoakes4584]

[@mindyedwards2699]

Loving the new Outremer as I follow you guys & Sailing la Vagabonde, wondering how much of Rileys input went into the new design.

[@noone-ld7pt]

I'd never seen a forward cockpit before until I saw it on your channel and now suddenly it's the ony thing that makes sense to me! Single handed sailing would be so much afer and easier when you have everything that close at all times! Sensational boat! The Outremer is also beautiful, but the 3 position helm just seems an inferior solution to the forward one too me!

[@mikestevens9455]

Prepare to be very wet

[@TwilightMysts]

The down side to a forward cockpit is that the helm is separated from everything happening in the aft cockpit. The ideal is probably to put a forward cockpit, and then have aft wing stations on each side, but that raises the expense. It is all about picking among the myriad different tradeoffs.

[@mtnpeek6748]

[@Sonny_Eclipse]

I was always sold on the Nordhaven MS-56 but you guys are turning me into a catamaran convert

[@brownnoise357]

After Rosie Swales travels on a Catamaran, I got intrigued, but rapidly discovered they have a really weird Corkscrew motion which really messed me up, in far from uncommon wave heights and frequencies. Thanks to half a Stugeron anti Seasick tablet before going aboard (I always take half a tablet as a Preventative ) I wasn't Seasick, but tbh, there's no way I could be comfortable living with that. I did try a Trimaran though, and was so impressed, I nearly bought one, but costs of Haulout, Maintenance, plus Marina erths if you can even get one, all added up to way beyond what I could afford. So I've stuck with Monohulls ever since. So Try a Catamaran first would be my advice, just to check if the motion is going to mess you up ? Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️

[@expressedforlife3018]
