We Bought a Hurricane Beryl Damaged Catamaran

[@HuubVlogs]

Today is my (Huub's) birthday! What a beautiful and perfect day for the very first video of this exciting project!

[@SnowCat247]

🥳

[@jayowens3545]

🎉 Happy birthday!

[@RAW-y2s]

Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY! At last a head door 🤣. Can't wait to find out more about this catamaran! Wish you two best of times.

[@rensvanderploeg1945]

Van harte gefeliciteerd!

[@christianabrowne5301]

🎉Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳

[@JaysonFlint]

Man I have been watching you for a while and this journey just keeps getting better and better, congratulations on having the foresight to get out there after the hurricane and find you the dream boat you always wanted. You bought it and now it's yours that's awesome, keep moving forward.

[@HuubVlogs]

Thank you Jayson!

[@davidsutch7929]

Thanks!

[@HuubVlogs]

Wow David! Thank you VERY much from the both of us! Hugs, Huub and Daniela

[@michaelcherp2280]

This video was very emotional for us to watch. We are so so happy for you!!!! I'm picturing speed, comfortable anchoring and lots of deck space. You only get 4 or 5 great opportunities handed to you in your life and you took it, good job on this momentous decision.

[@HuubVlogs]

Yes, this is definitely one of those opportunities!

[@BillJohnston-y7o]

I love seeing young people living their dream....

[@hangfire6368]

So cool! Removing that tank was stressful to watch.

[@HuubVlogs]

Haha yes,!

[@alexandredesmarais2528]

@@HuubVlogs do you know if there are other damaged boat for sell and do you have any idea who I have to contact ? Thank You !

[@glennarchard5723]

We are SO proud of you & so happy for you, way to go. If anyone can pull this off, it's you two! - Adventureman Dan's parents

[@HuubVlogs]

Hi Adventureman Dan's parents, I really appreciate your comment! Thank you!

[@Flymartin999]

Wow, that was one of the most heart stopping starts to a video ever. Awesome work capturing it on film. Really looking forward to this project.

[@Matt-bj6cy]

Have been following you since the start. Was so happy when you met your girlfriend and she started with you. The videos got better and better. So much information and so much seeing the two of you growing together. I am disappointed that in this video however, you did not tell us how this all came about, how you discovered the catamaran and why the owner wanted to unload her. This is what makes it impressive more, is the history. We went from Trinidad and Tobago to a boat yard where the hurricane hit. If you do not want to share the story, then that is ok. Take your time on this boat and do it right. Get her ready first for going back in the water, and after you have her on anchor or mooring ball you can do cosmetic work slowly and the right way and save yard costs. Just do it right so she will last you both many years to come and you can finally leave the Caribbean and travel the world in more comfort and much more room and safer conditions. Much love from Switzerland.

[@Alikhan78611]

No wayyyyy dude! So happy for you, anything would be better than your current boat! This one looks way newer and nice. Once fixed properly, I am certain you won't run into constant issues like on ur current boat! You truly deserves it bro! Keep up the good work!

[@lincolnsimpson55]

We have been watching for a long time and this news made us so proud of you. The new boat is gorgeous and a huge upgrade. You're going to love it. Congratulations guys!!

[@douglasrobbie9998]

A 2003 38' owner's version Maxim catamaran. They were built from 1999 to 2007 (bus closed) so this is right in the middle of production run. Corecell used in above water laminates so no wet balsa issues. 27 hp Yamars w saildrives. Reasonable headroom and good sailing performance. Only issue is some bridgedeck slamming going into choppy seas due to just avg clearance. Should be ok to sail around world and hope not too much damage, great that the mast and rigging is up. Should be little water damage as it was on hard. Good luck with the renovation.

[@leonaessens4399]

The Maxim 380 probably isn't the world's best catamaran, but it's not the worst, either. They're fairly sturdy and are rather similar to the Wynns' Leopard 43, also South African-built. That bridgedeck slamming is something they, too, had problems with on passage from Tonga (if I remember rightly) to New Zealand. In fact the slamming in extreme weather left them with a big hole! No real threat to the boat, but certainly unsettling, I imagine.

[@eduardosanchez2555]

Congratulations Huub and Daniela. Daniela habla mas en español ,habemos millones de personas que queremos oirte, lo estas haciendo muy bien. Un gran habrazo para ambos.

[@tienloongtong]

yes would really add a dimension to the program. excellent suggestion. excellent.

[@ivansio]

I don't usually comment anything on KZbin... But! I'm So happy for you guys, that's a dream. I was watching the video and feeling as excited as you were for sure haha. I've been watching your videos since your roadtrips in the middle East. You are one of my favourite channels on KZbin, thanks for sharing your life experiences. Keep it up! 😊

[@bendaves77]

Really cool Huub, you bought a pretty rough old sailboat years ago and had a few female companions that diddy last long and now you have met the perfect woman and have gotten yourselves a great new sailboat

[@Corrvision]

Wow that is going to be a very nice and comfortable boat when it is all fixed up, way to go guys good buy!

[@adaml8425]

We are so happy for you both, you really deserve it after all you went through with the cabin you built, the deck work and all the other crap you went through. And if anybody can do it, it’s you.

[@HuubVlogs]

Thank you Adam, appreciate it!

[@REALVIBESTV]

"I've been following your journey since you first started fixing up your boat to sail. It's been amazing to watch your progress, and I'm thrilled to see you with a bigger boat now. Congratulations!" So happy for you

[@robertgold2643]

Let the itching, I mean refit begin! Super stoked for you both - every episode you prove what is possible with a positive attitude and graciously accepting what life offers you. Hope the structural stuff is minimal and you get to sail off on your new boat soon 🤞

[@markdaltonvanisland]

Congratulations to both of you. It’s been a joy to follow Huub’s journey that led to this moment. Daniela you are wonderful!🎉❤

[@necrokittie2291]

now i don't have to worry about your boat randomly tacoing on you guys from those deck repairs on the old lemonada that didn't look like they had enough overlapping fiberglass. will be an interesting build. (i like rebuilding videos more then sailing ones)

[@sunnoble6380]

I'm so happy for you Huub and Daniela! Limonada II is amazing! What a big difference in the quality of your lives. I am sad about the devestation there, but glad you both are happy and healthy. Big Hugs. Sun Noble.❤

[@buffalohouse4740]

You two will have so much more room in the new sailboat. Also you two make a great pair and your videos are enjoyable. Take care Ernest

[@jayowens3545]

This is amazing! Super excited for ya'll!

[@gbthecamper458]

Very excited for both of you. It was nice to see you start making it your home. Time to have plan that will get you off the hard and where you can complete those tasks that do not require you be on land. I’m sure you will do a great repair job. Best wishes.

[@stanleybest8833]

It's sweet to see your boat sparkle.

[@WQ9V]

Congrats Hub & Daniela, I am glad you were able to seize an opportunity to buy the boat. I did the same thing when I bought my HF ham radio. 73 old boys. 73 is ham radio talk.

[@gatecrasher1970]

so no mention of price?

[@santhosh.84]

Wow congratulations from India🎉 We are watching you when you are building your hoom Your journey is inspiration for us.

[@HuubVlogs]

Thank you very much for coming along!

[@DaveB-mi9rs]

Exciting, scary, awesome opportunity. Buying your first home together :) New journey ahead. Remember to put each other first in the work ahead. The stress of 'construction' can be overwhelming at times. You're both so good together...remember you make it that way. Happy birthday Huub. Can't wait to see the future for you both.

[@HuubVlogs]

Thanks a lot Dave!

[@jeffreygrant817]

Wow, great news Hub and Daniela! May there be less repairs than expected, and may you make this catamaran your beloved new home quickly! Looking forward what you will do, all the best from Sweden!

[@carlgruver695]

Hope you got it cheap looks like a fairly easy fix as long as the motor and sail are good no holes in the hull

[@robertscholz4486]

Congratulations on the new boat!!! I can't wait to see it turn into "your" boat!!! Don't dwell on the worries, and concentrate on the excitement!!!

[@SnowCat247]

The very best of luck to you both. After watching many youtube videos about this kind of thing you could have a very long road ahead of you. Again, very best of luck.

[@dutchglobetrotter6464]

Great purchase dude, congrats :) !

[@sergeidolbin2775]

I'm glad that you're at least giving the world a 10 year window of opportunity in order to show us if there is life beyond catamarans... Fair winds, brother ⛵️

[@matatooie]

Dude!!! I am so happy for you! What an opportunity!

[@ronniefreeman3692]

I am so happy for you both, really enjoy your videos. Can’t wait to see what you have to do to get the boat ready to put in the water.

[@reginaldarty8192]

Happy for you, I know you can do it 👏

[@exyled99]

This is awesome news for you both. Congrats, I can't wait you see you two fixing it up.

[@HuubVlogs]

Thank you!

[@victorlambertt4662]

Congratulations on your purchase I love what I am seeing out of guys hard works and dedication❤

[@User13986en]

Huub I have been watching you since Kazakhstan days, Finally good things are happening, I am really happy for you guys, naming this Catamaran Beryl would be ideal.

[@anthonyturner6533]

I have been watching your channel for a while . Congratulations on your new to you vessel. Can’t wait to see the progress you guys make .

[@RaymondFenech-o1z]

Congratulations for catamaran Hub and Daniela

[@davidthompson3780]

Congratulations! With the work you will put into it it's going to be great for you both! I look forward to see the future you have on this CAT!

[@bradsquirrel7923]

Happy birthday Huub. I am excited for you both on this new opportunity. I am sure it will be nice to have a bigger boat that will hopefully be able to take you farther, more safely and in a bit more comfort. Your journeys are often fun. Good luck on the purchase and transfer to Luminata II.

[@chrissperry1830]

Great job guys. Always exciting find a great deal on something you always wanted. One of my favorite channels on KZbin. Nice mix of content you both create. Congratulations. Looking forward to new content of your new vessel.

[@matthewavery6246]

Hell yeah brother !!!!! Can’t wait to see the process of fixing this bad boy up super stoked for you brother !

[@BrokePhilanthropist]

Very nice interior on that.

[@David-um2hs]

Wow. So exciting. Hope everything goes well.

[@Secondwind2010]

Good luck, hope it comes out great

[@malcolmwillis6450]

Congratulations on the catamaran purchase, from what you showed in the video it doesn't appear to be badly damaged. Seeing you helping to remove all of the previous owners stuff and seeing the bottom of the bridge deck with anti-fouling on it should remind you that catamarans are weight sensitive, don't over load.

[@rickbooysen550]

Keeps getting better, with Daniela fast becoming the star of the show :)

[@RicardoDinizPortugal]

What a crazy situation! The power in those winds! And so sad to see that warzone of damaged boats. I wish you all the very best for your next steps and adventures! Go for it! ❤

[@elysiumsailing]

Huub, the boat looks to be in decent shape for surviving what it did. I am excited for you both! Enjoy the journey.

[@DunnPC]

Congratulations Huub and Daniela. Wishing you both all the best with this new project.

[@allcarsntrucks]

Congratulations , beautiful upgrade .

[@AverageJoeShmo]

So happy for you! Look forward to watching the progress!

[@varaderoArubabrokerage]

Good luck with your purchase. We can see the Dream in your eyes. Just remember to move her to a safe place before the next hurricane. Aruba is less than 500 nautical miles away and not on the path of hurricanes.

[@ArazQizilbash]

Aruba is losing a lot because of Venezuelan attackers.

[@oneandonlymikey]

You were at the right place, right time ,good luck with the work to be done .Looking forward to see future videos

[@Jean-lucTheresine-i7h]

Hello, it is a pleasant surprise to see you acquire this beautiful catamaran, you made a good choice I think, more spacious, easier to maneuver. Daniela's smiling face shows how satisfied she is with her new home.😀

[@happygarden7111]

So excited for y’all! The boat is beautiful and I love the layout!

[@hectorsarraga2475]

Congratulations, you deserve a bigger and better boat!

[@djleighl]

Happy for you both! cant wait to see you on the water in the boat. All the very best with work ahead.

[@albergaharriott5257]

Happy Birthday Huub and you guys got a wonderful present to mark the occasion.
