Awesome interview!

[@edfrhes]

Good one Drake. And Monique. Thanks for sharing.

[@greggronemeier1256]

Good episode. Learned a great deal about multihulls.

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Another insightful video, thanks for sharing. I must thank Monique for mentioning a while back the book by Simon Alvah. I have just finished it and boy what a story. All the best. Andy UK

John Barry knows a lot. He should write a book (if he hasn't already).

[@jrcrawford4]

It would be... "epic"

[@brianboys9015]

That guy is my favourite narrator what a natural.

Love the Hammerhead and the Colorado flag. Some amazing sailing adventures have haled from there. My father-in-law gutted and then fitted out a Midship 25 monohull for blue water sailing while living in Boulder, CO. This boat design later was known as the Parker / Dawson 26. My father-in-law eventually sailed this boat from San Diego to Fiji via the Marquesas and the Society Islands, mostly solo.

Drake and Mo, I know I say this a lot but I really think it’s only a matter of time before you start getting some seriously heavy viewership again. Your content is FANTASTIC and a person can just binge watch through it all if they so choose. I think we should all do something where each one of us who loves this content just tells five of their good friends about it. How’s the EUC going? I haven’t missed a day for something like 73 days on the Onewheel. I’m obsessed. Haha!

[@drakeParagon]

Thanks Evan, 73 days!?!?! :) That's fantastic. Yesterday I was riding the EUC all day up in the mountains of Faroe and filming it all - can't wait to upload it to our other EUC channel coming soon!

HH 54 is about my favorite Chris White design.

[@ZoneTelevision]

Stilettos are great boats. Cuttyhunk is a favorite place to anchor / moor .. love that place gorgeous sunsets. . Long Island Sound is NOTORIOUS for light to no wind depending on the season Spring and Fall being the few exceptions. . They only way you can get any kind of sailing in there is if your boat is very light and you have lots and lots of canvas. Most people that sail LIS have heavy laden boats with marginal sail area hence thy motor most of the time there.

[@dragonfly8080808]

Another great episode, maybe another on Avalanche?

[@lydiaajohnson]

Great interviews. Are we there yet?

[@mr.boston3927]

DrakeParagon Avalanche is for sale and in the comments it was stated that it recorded a 528 mile run in a 24 hour period. That is not quite as fast as Paragon!

[@jvodan]

This boat (avalanche Colorado) is listed for sale at 400k USD

[@rnunezc.4575]

3 kts wind true to 5-8 kts boat speed...!!! Y got to be kidding..would love to watch video of that...hard to believe..

[@dyslexiusmaximus]
