BOAT TOUR: Welcome aboard our Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 50DS ⛵️

[@peterfrebold]

... thx for the great tour ... must say was pleasantly surprised at the room in the aft cabins .... your comment John about the size of the booze cupboard, yes am always surprised on some boats the amount of area dedicated to booze and glasses that go along with that lifestyle. Yes Christina I'd have to agree that the cubby in the table is ample room.... your master looks quite comfy as does the cockpit, very roomy. ..... the highfield sure makes a great wind-scoop .... thx for sharing a peek into your home, think you will be right comfortable heading to the barrier reef and beyond .... and as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....

[@williamyoung7700]

If you win lotto, you could build a solid dodger over the companionway, leading aft with canvas top, with drop down clear sides and it creates an outside "room" protected from the weather. Great for al fresco dining at sunset.....She is a nice boat. One of the better European models. The deck saloon is esthetically pleasing to the eye to look at.

[@isikelimara]

ok obviously accidently skipped about 6 episodes, but so glad I jumped back. This is the episode I was waiting for.

[@glenhopkins1521]

Hey guys great to get another video & tour of your boat & I think I liked the naughty locker best! You both look fit & well & I liked the colours in your hair Kristina. John seems to be more confident in himself & the sailing gig is definitely your right gig as right now we are under another chairman Dan lockdown with really no concrete end in sight. Bet you are glad you left Melbourne when you did. Your boat looks to suit you guys & has plenty of storage which is necessary no doubt when on big trips from land or resupply. Keep on doing what you are doing as always great to see you guys & your happy smiling faces. Kristina you again look brilliant, John is one lucky man. Take care & may God bless you both. Cheers. Glen Hopkins

[@KristinasTravels]

Thanks for the love Glen! ☺️ Oh my goodness. What is Dan doing?! 😬 We were very lucky to get out when we did. John and I were thinking about it the other day... had we left one week later, we would have been stuck in Melbourne... and if not in Vic, we would have definitely got stuck in Sydney/NSW!! Crazy. Oh, my pink hair?! 😂 I’ve always had a job (since the age of 15) so I figured - stuff it, I’m finally unemployed, I may as well make the most of it!!!! 😆😆😆 Pink hair, don’t care! 💕😂 John initially threatened to kick me off Tucana, but he’s come around. Lucky it’s just a wash out! 😛

[@beazleteats4031]

G'day from Sydney. Wonderful tour guys and a fantastic boat. Super comfortable. Just a quick suggestion, at 10:18 where you show us your grab-bag, I'd get a larger bag that holds everything you need to 'grab' in an emergency. Trust me when I say I've seen so many situations where people literally have seconds to grab it...there's little time to grab other items not stored in the bag. Safe sailing.

[@KristinasTravels]

Oh, you bring up a good point here! Will get onto that. We have a few spare dry bags on board so will do that tonight. Thanks for the tip - LEGEND! 🙌 Safe sailing 😄⛵️

[@macman6107]

Wow, thanks for the tour Kristina & John. It's a lot roomier than it looks on the outside........it should be called TARDIS! It always amazes me when I see tours of other folks' yachts just how much space there is to fill up. I was surprised that it has t̶h̶r̶e̶e̶ four ̶b̶e̶d̶r̶o̶o̶m̶s̶ births as well. Very well thought out and much bigger than it looks. The amount of storage space really is mindboggling. I love your 'naughty' locker. My wife and I would defo have a lot of sweets, chocolates etc all over the place. You could put some all over the boat in different storage lockers and say you're getting a workout while foraging for them. Yes, that's the way to do it "exercise"! lol. Thanks for explaining the water storage tanks also. I know I've seen on some similar-sized yachts where there has been water & fuel tanks. Is it possible to fit/convert a tank for fuel or is it a case of using the jerry cans only?

Great tour. Plenty of space. I like the dinghy set up. The Washboard is normally stored in the rear starboard berth, behind the door. There should be some timber slides in which it sits.

Just found you today. Instant attraction to the video. Have watched only two episodes, but could instantly tell someone had a media background. Well done. Will be watching...

Hey Edward! Sorry about the name my friend! 😜 thanks for saying hello 😃

[@EdwardTilley]

@@jptilley10 ? Largest family on the Mayflower, and a solid Puritan family name going back to the invention of surnames in the 1500s. The Roosevelts and Bushes are descendants too, so no need to be sorry I don't think. An Australian Line must be more recent branch?

[@jptilley10]

@@EdwardTilley apologies for my crass attempt at humor. Proud to be a Tilley of course. I didn’t know about the prevalence on the Mayflower, I looked up the manifest out of curiosity, there were two men with the surname Tilley, ironically, Edward Tilley and John Tilley!! Only third generation here in my line of Tilley’s, also from the UK 👍🏻

Loved seeing the tour of Tucana

[@seanrice1222]

Thanks for the tour. Y’all are the awesomeness! ✌️

[@11385djg]

Suggestion on your solar panel, get a steelworks to fabricate an arch. The arch will serve many purpose but primarily for your dingy davits and solar mount. You can probably squeeze in more what 600+ watts equivalent of panels on the arch. More than enough if you want to be self sufficient and off grid most of the time especially if you have a big battery bank. Flexy solar panels are not efficient (depending on how ventilated it is) and a fire hazard.

[@slf994]

Thanks for the tour, watching from California.

[@tomriley5790]

Nice boat! Thanks for the walkthrough, love the shower door! You both look so well, life at sea and salt water is clearly agreeing with you both! If you've managed to escape Coff's Harbour Sailing Ruby Rose are in the Whitsunday's at the moment I think. Oh and nice gadgets :-)!

[@paulburns4806]

You will always get a big thumbs up from me Kristina!!!

[@everest_CFA]

Great video!!! Thanks so much for showing us around your new home. It looks amazing and you have both done such a great job setting it up. Quick question about how store your dingy. Did you ever consider davits? I’m keen to understand the pro’s and con’s of storing the tender on davits. Enjoy the Whitsundays… it looks amazing. Cheers from a locked down Sydney 😎👌

[@macman6107]

I wondered the same with regards to the davits rather than taking up precious deck space.

[@graemesmith8232]

Great idea davit's, but if their Bimini canvas is going to cost $7,000 you can bet stainless steel davit's will be double the price. Thank God I don't live on that side of Australia. I live in Perth and have a Villa in Bali. I just get what I need in Indonesia and take it back to Aus duty free. Wow much much cheaper 😁 the stainless steel boys up here do a great job at about a third of the price .

Hi what a great video, you have done a lot of work on your yacht what year is it?

[@paulbennett7743]

if she has 2m draft or less then definitely consider travelling North via the inside of Fraser Island - The Great Sandy Straight. I have made that trip twice and would thoroughly recommend it. Need to watch your depth though.

[@Peter-jm7zt]

Thanks for the great tour of your sailboat. Would like to hear more about the solar setup if you guys have time. All the best regards Peter.

[@shanehudson88]

Hi Kristina and John, great video and love your channel! I've always been wanting my very own yacht but I think I need a few more sailing lessons before I consider it. Was curious to know how much would I be expecting to spend on a similar second hand 50 ft yacht as yours? Also, would you ever considering upgrading or downgrading at a later date and if so what to and why? Sending love and well wishes from your state neighbourhood Sydney!

Greetings from Dallas Texas. Well Mates, it's good to see you again. Great video, you have a fantastic home. I do have one question, is Tucana considered a Cutter or a Sloop?

[@KristinasTravels]

Hi Brian! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ Thanks 🤩 Fairly sure it’s a sloop as we only have one headsail 😄

I always hear that there is always repairs on a boat, but no one ever explains whT kind of tools they keep and where. Do you use a lot of all-in-one tools?

[@GypzyJack]

G'day, guys. I'm a newby follower. Nice boat. Just a tip with your forward hatch's fly screen/shade screens, don't sail or anchor in strong winds with them drawn as the wind will destroy their rather fragile rigidity, and eventually sag. Fair winds.

[@iandhill1539]

Great question! It depends on the sea state as to its weighted load. But for the heaviest seas state it’s rated for: Category A (rated for ocean, over 40 knots & significant wave heights above 13 feet) 10 people (750kg) + luggage = 3163kg Category B: 12 people (900kg) + luggage = 3163kg Category C: 14 people (1050kg) + luggage = 3163kg also 😁

[@bos6782]

Would you feel that this particular Jeanneau could circumnavigate the world easily?

[@richardmartin6661]

That was very interesting. Solar panels ... very cool. Why 2 wheels for steering ?

[@svechappe6075]

With today's modern designs, the beam (width) of the boat is carried farther aft. A single wheel in the center of the cockpit has a harder time providing visibility around the sides of the boat. Twin helms provides better visibility forward on different points of sail. Also, it frees up the cockpit so that you can easily walk thru to the swim platform area instead of having to walk around the center helm station.

[@narr0wm1nd49]

Its a great tour but we need someone todo the nautical terms translation in the subtitles. Does google have a boaty translator ? Wait till you guys figure out you can store even more in your dry bilges. You will have that aft, sorry back bedroom cleared out in no time.
