[@brookemartin6101]

Absolutely Incredible Cat!. 🐱🛥😁 Nikki and Jason, I know this particular one isn't yours, but I look forward to your splash day when Your boat Is Complete and continuing on your journey with you, seeing where you take us.

[@BB_Chaptsick]

Beautiful boat! Looking forward to seeing Curiosity 2 splash.

[@robert5712]

Nikki does a wonderful job as tour guide and ambassador for the new HH44 Catamaran. Excellent camera work and editing by Jason. We have been watching the Wynns for a long time going back to the RV days and look forward to the latest adventure. Thanks and smooth sailing.

[@BuzzSargent]

1st Nikki is stunning in this black dress! Perfect for a commercial spot to highlight HH boats. 2nd The tour of the boat was great. Without trying to, I kept comparing this tour to the Seawind tour on Ruby Rose2. There are many differences but some are subtle. One thing I am excited about is the Beta - Electric setup and how it actually works in real life. I was looking carefully at the Antaries because they have done something like this a few years ago. Big Kudos on having Straight Drive vs Sail Drive. Seems so much safer in my observations. I still think there should be some Non-Electronic engine gages somewhere in case the power system gets bolted. And sometimes it is easier to just look at a temp gage, etc

[@sailingrubyrose]

What a STUNNING boat. I thought our safari windows were impressive but *wow*. You weren't kidding when you said yours were big. Very excited for you two, not long now! - N&T xx

[@jabjab1010]

Must be very exciting to stand on and check out this boat as a proxy for yours. Two points learned from experience. . .Please make sure you have extra struts of all sizes before you go to sea. Also, please make sure you have at least one back up light remote, and or any remotes (anchoring) you might need. Don’t ask how I know. . .

[@stevenblack122]

Unbelievable boat and exceptional review. To be so concise in descriptions yet complete is more than talent I suspect. Lots of work in scripting and editing. Camera management was of course also exceptional. . Nice touch with the formal black attire. Personal and professional at the same time. A power couple in marketing high end or technical products ! Can’t wait to see #3. HH is fortunate to have you as Ambassadors for its brand.

I am so excited to see you sailing again. As an older bloke (60) in the UK I never achived my dream of sailing in this lifetime. But my health isn't the best and I have my beautiful kids. So, I live vicariously through your adventures and cannot wait to see you adventuring (not sure that is a word) again. Good luck and fair-winds for the Wynns.

[@srcastic8764]

Ditto from the Alabama Gulf coast in the US!

[@janeconnors1807]

Not too late. My Dad retired and set about taking nautical exams and sailing all over the place. At the age of 77 along with 5 others, they sailed the Atlantic in a boat that to me seemed little more than a bath tub. He retired from sailing due to ill health in his 80's. Go for it!

[@srcastic8764]

@@janeconnors1807 you must have missed the part where he said his health wasn’t good. Same with me. Chase your dreams while you’re young. There are no guarantees you’ll be able to later.

[@janeconnors1807]

@@srcastic8764 my Dad wasn't in great health too. He had COPD, a heart murmur and other things going on but I guess taking part in WW2 gave him that fighting spirit to challenge himself before it was too late. I agree tho' it does depend what yr health issues are

That is a beautiful and impressive boat! Can't wait to see the tours of hull #3!

[@Bill23799]

It was nice that they made Nikki a Carbon Fibre Dress to match her boat. She looks smashing in it.

[@Mister_Vintage]

The issue with the combined, single screen for control of all things electrical is that if you have a problem with that system....you lose all the electrical systems on the boat. Even a software bug could disable everything. I am all about the convenience and comfortable living, but that seems a little scary. The good news is that the sails can still get you anywhere under almost any circumstances ;) Question: on the sink, heads, showers, bilge....anything that moves water, do they have manual pump backups?

[@RebelCowboysRVs]

Yea, there's a saying about putting all your eggs in one basket. Seems odd to have the redundancy of sail, diesel and electric, but then cram all that other stuff on one computer.

[@ALittleCLAIREification]

They addressed this, and the manual overrides/worst case scenario, in the video. 😉

THIS is the video I've been waiting for... the preview of the 44. What a beautiful feat of engineering, thoughtfulness, and attention to the details. Like you guys (well, not quite like you guys!) I'm anticipating your new adventures. I got so excited I went into the other room and started sharing with my wife. You've turned me into a boat nerd even if she's not (yet).

[@51marshmellow]

I am completely speechless. The boat is absolutely stunning ! You two are getting so close and soon I will be jumping up and down watching your reveal I'm quite sure a number of times, feeling your excitement. After all of these years following you and enjoying every minute, it will be so marvelous to see you make Curiosity II your new home to begin new adventures and feel settled. I think the acknowledgement that she is indeed yours may take awhile but she will have your magic touches all over her, 💗💗🤟💐

[@thomasw5430]

I will have to admit, between your build videos as well as Sketch to Sea channel I am thoroughly impressed with HH catamarans. It is a very interesting journey you have been on with the new builds. I am very impressed with the build quality from the one off 88 to the 44 footer. I am not seeing a fall off in quality. I love how they did the hiding the ropes, I was disappointed when you showed the area but I did not see anything to catch the excess line- boy was I surprised with that little section. Looking forward to you and Jason getting yours soon!

[@jamieopulence]

Stunning boat! Very impressed. The Rolls Royce of the seas

[@Globalbloke]

Honestly that is some boat, everything about it screams quality. I’ve reached out to HH myself to look at acquiring one. Cannot wait to see you guys on your shakedown with your boat 😎❤️

[@kimkristensen2816]

This is an amazing boat design. So happy with your choice.

[@marlonchristmas]

I can hardly stand waiting until you take delivery and take us on a shake down on your new boat!! ❤

[@JohnnyLawBMC]

What a great episode. The tour was fantastic. All the digital switching will make things easier and....they have overrides in the event things get buggy. Your challenge will be to run the engines once a month just to keep them in good shape. :)

[@nedsteinke]

The king and queen of the double entendre have been on land so much lately they’re losing their sea saltiness. Nikki drops one at 22:59 and she and Jason just miss it as it floats away and dies a slow, painful death. What a lost opportunity! 😂 Love the new boat and can’t wait to watch the commissioning and shakedown cruising. ✌🏻

Amazing boat, loved the advanced helm station with the electronic switching. Next is to add a voice response module with a large language model AI to take care of the button pushing.

[@justsmy5677]

Awesome! Your boat is going to be great. I know they are still working on this boat, and HH does things right and overbuilds components, but could not help noticing that both the galley and cockpit tables wobbled when you applied a little pressure to the table top. Surely that is going to be sorted out. Cheers!

[@danfadden]

Even without all the awesome power stuff going on with HH newest sailboats (electric/hybrid) their small innovations throughout the rest of the build is incredible! Like you said, all the “little things” that HH clearly thought about really makes this boat outshine all the others currently hitting the market. When they put that much thought and attention to the smallest detail, you know that they are passionate about their craft and it really shows. You guys made a great choice with HH. Can’t wait for your delivery.

[@Bill23799]

Nikki I suggest you order now extra Nitrogen filled cylinders to hold up those windows. In a few years they all leak gas. Broomstick handles will work in a pinch.

[@paulwalker5921]

I have just found my ultimate dream boat!!! Everything is so superbly thought out and executed. Can't wait to see the sailing footage. Meanwhile back to my modest 34' monohull........

[@johnlampe3258]

I'm confused why the folding tables don't fold DOWN (like most tables with folding leaves) so you don't have to clear the table just to fold the leaves. Also you have the seams and a center hole to deal with. No large, flat surface. It looks like there may be table height controls underneath, but that just seems weird to me.

[@leondaniels4033]

I have always been a fan of mono-hull sailboats, but having seen your new Cat. I am very impressed with the design as well as all the very special additions. It is simply an awesome build!!

Beautiful boat. I am seeing lots of new KZbin boats right now and I really like some of the small details HH has put into their boats. Love the water capture system with a valve because dirt was the first thing I thought of when it first starts raining. And chain wash no less. WOW! Congrats, can't wait to see your new boat.

[@dansbrown1313]

Hello Guys, thanks for the tour. Nikki mentioned the creaky companionways which I've noticed on many other boats which would really annoy me is resolved, so nice. With the all digital format, I was hoping you would talk to James the architect about lightning strike protection for all the vessel electronics. Cheers from Canada.

[@dhincks1]

Fantastic!! We just were gifted ($1,000) a Downeaster 38 ("Vera" is Slavic for faith or Latin Truth). Vintage plastic fantastic!! The refit begins!!

[@ubifigueiredo1074]

Great tour of the HH44. Going back one video, the salon outside sun screen suction cup solution will not hold up. Those suction cups will get brittle and in a blow it's low percentage that they will hold. Secondly, the salon window sun shading laying on the glass is of a concern. With eventual salt build up and buffeting from the wind, they will sandpaper the glass through time. We have the same sun shades on our FP Elba45 but they are kept completely off the glass to prevent damage to the glass. There are many cruiser posts about their glass being ruined from the abrasion from the salt in the sun shade material. Congrats on the HH and hope to see you guys at Annapolis?

[@mrsmith4662]

Such a lovely new boat. Just one thing though - I'd like the control screen to be larger, other than that, perfect.

[@SkylinersYeti]

So looking forward to seeing both of you on the water sailing. Love your adventures. Keep up the good work.

[@randalljames1]

that thing is pretty incredible... I wold probably see about getting an extra nitrogen gas strut or 3.... real pain when one fails and you can not find a correct one..

[@rburn99]

Wow! Just an amazing boat! This is so awesome but I am kind of down though that it's someone else's [almost] identical boat you're showing rather than waiting and showing off yours. When you get yours there won't be much left for your boat tour and reveal that you haven't already shown us. But wow... what a boat! All the well thought out detail. The digital control panel. The rain collection. The wide walkways. Non-creaking floors. The huge swing open windows! So much. Not to mention the light show possible :D What a huge upgrade! I vote for you getting it tomorrow too!

[@sgilman1985]

3 Questions: 1. The stove dosent seem to have a way to secure what’s being cooked. No guardrails, or side shields…is that a miss? 2. What happens if the lighting remote is lost for colors, is there a built in master somewhere? 3. Are the diesel/hybrids established enough in the service community that parts/service won’t be a major issue when they develop a problem? Thanks!

No fiddles in the galley….or anywhere else? Massive windows that can only be opened & closed from the outside, I’m sure that will never be a problem… some kind of safety pin for those sugar scoop locks is needed, and the side gates. They’ll get loose, or rusted, or both. Because everything does.
