Our NEW home (for now)... 500 mile TEST SAIL on a Kraken 50! [EP 145]

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Standby for another 3 episodes of our adventures aboard the Kraken 50 and a full walkthrough of the boat and the yard at the end! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@P4ddyC4ke]

Such a gorgeous boat! Looking forward to the remaining episodes.

[@Ironboots123]

I noticed Dick has two mates operating the winches. So, this is not a boat ideal for single handed sailing like the Amel 50 eh.

[@deborahdoyle6743]

That is certainly a premier offshore boat.

[@anonymous-dk1wb]

What a awsome vessel hope to have one someday

[@richames3608]

Hats off to Capt. Dick. Those are some fine vessels he's putting out!

[@sdkjl5984]

For some reason I really noticed and enjoyed the music this time. I would also Love to have a boat like that (!!!), but you are already rich beyond imagining because you have each other and so much happiness together.

[@andyw6702]

Loved this video. I'm a huge Kraken fan. If I win the lottery, first thing I'm doing is order a Kraken 58 and the second, sail around the world. I'm very impressed with Dick Beaumont, the guy with the most commonsense in the industry... safety, safety, safety

[@patraic5241]

Wow! This whole video is a feather in your cap for sure. It's a huge win for Kraken too. What a great way to show off what they offer.

[@MartialLoreNZ]

To be honest, you two could be doing anything, I think, and people would watch and subscribe. You're just so fresh, and forthright, and real. It's always a highlight of my day to catch up with whatever you're up to.

[@timevans8223]

A great demo of Solent rig. We love ours. When it's windy and big waves we set both sails on poles. Great down wind set up for a couple. Easy reefing for on watch crew across the Atlantic

[@karaDee2363]

Beautiful boat. Kraken boats are top-notch and one of the best in the world

[@SailingAndInvesting]

What a treat to be able to sail with a Yacht builder! And how proud Dick must be to have a job/company like that! Really good camera work. I could get the feeling of the heel.

[@jamesmarva1268]

I am so happy for you, 😇🥰❤️‍🔥🌎🤲🙌 good fair winds, long health life, peace, joy, 👁🙏Amen & Amen.

[@truman42746]

Now that was to short! The constant smile on Adam's face tells me he just might become a bank robber! He has to have that boat and I think Khiara will agree! It's beautiful and can't wait to really see it in action next Friday!

[@pkane5472]

It was the fastest 18 minutes I've ever had!

[@jeffh5220]

I could have watched an hour of this one quite easily. I was surprised at how roomy the centre cockpit was with everyone underway as well.

[@orwellknew9112]

Nice boat and nice to see you two enjoying sailing on a new boat where things aren’t failing or breaking. The price difference though……

[@TimLewisAlamo]

Thanks for sharing this ride with all of who are stuck ashore! The boat looks amazing and a lot of fun to be aboard. Blessings for you all!

[@puertola7186]

Apparently Kraken is the Turkish answer to Hallberg Rassy. Extremely well thought and well built boat for cruisers.

[@garymcaninch4360]

Kiara, you are such a gorgeous young lady. As a couple you both compliment each other and the sailing knowledge is very good. At 71 I am prepping a 32 footer to circumnavigate solo. Great knowledge from you both. Thankyou!!!

[@sailingyoumeandjosapea6770]

Start your own channel mate I’d watch

[@larryhicks6321]

When we were sailing (40 + years ago), we suffered from bigger-boat-its. Frankly, we lusted for a Tayana 42!! Oh how times have (not) changed!!! Love your channel. From your friends in Canada. L&D

[@martinrouen]

What's really great to see, is the love of sailing, the actual act of sailing, that you both exude. Great episode. Much love from Cornwall, UK.

[@KrakenYachts]

One of our team grew up in Cornwall :)

[@garybaker6548]

If you two keep producing the type and quality of content you have been of late, those extra million subs won't be long in coming. You have matured immensely (as sailors, boat technicians, videographers, story tellers, editors--the whole bit) since you started the channel and it has been fun to be able to witness it as you take us all along for the ride (or sail as it may be). It’s a pleasure each week to get the notification which is an invitation to sit back, relax, grab a favorite beverage and watch you sail, explore, and grow. It would be great for you to work a deal to have a Kraken 50 as the Millennial Falcon II. Keep your eyes on the goal of sailing the world and allowing all of us to join you in the adventures through wonderfully-produced videos and I’m confident great things will happen. God Bless and happy sailing.

[@barbaralienhard3490]

Thank you for taking us along. That boat is amazing!!! Enjoy every minute!!! 😍⛵😍

[@darrellstyner0001]

It's pretty clear they need to give you a Kraken 50! You two would be the greatest salespeople they could possibly find. I'm thinking of buying one and I don't really even want to go cruising!

[@SJ-ty8wr]

It is so nice to see the excitement in her eyes! This Yacht, just suits her better!

[@gutsanglory1]

Quick vid, but the constant smiles all around tell the story. Beautiful boat ! Looking forward to the next full day sail. Cheerz!!

[@clarencehopkins7832]

Excellent stuff bro

[@mattburrell4412]

I have always been a big fan of Oyster yachts for blue water. Thanks for opening my eyes to Kraken.

[@wallywombat164]

I'm not a sailor but i'm a follower of your channel. I maybe a softy, ok i am, i don't know why but i really enjoyed that vid. Thank you both. It was enough to bring a tear to a man with a glass eye.

[@jaymacpherson8167]

Fantastic. Thank you! My heart is filled with joy for you and the Krakeners. About 12 minutes in, a halyard is slapping on the mast…bringing back many glorious memories. This is one of my favorite videos you two (and the guys) have made. May you travel well!

[@edkleinstuber2119]

Absolutely brilliant. And the boat is pretty nice as well. Khiara is the bomb

[@AlisonAZ]

Wow! - what a fine boat - the Kraken. I'm fairly new to your channel. I started at the beginning and am on episode 40. I skipped ahead just to see where you are and leave a comment and a thank you. You two have produced a fine series. I have limited sailing experience. (Lived on a small island in WA state and sailed a dory - almost daily for 3 years) Later had the use of a Wauquiez Pretorien 35 for a while around Seattle. I'm looking forward to the rest of your adventures.

[@tomwilliams8675]

They would do well being your new sponsors 👍👍👍👍👍😊

[@bradewing5470]

Your last two videos have been pure sailing. Loved it. I’m on my third round watching.

[@donnarocchio936]

Absolutely grand to see the pure delight on Adam's face, and seeing you Khiara so relaxed and seeming you are on the vacation of a lifetime. Looking forward to next Friday when we can join you again.

[@garye4145]

The Kraken looks like a well built blue water boat. She looks nice a sleek. I love the perma smiles on both your faces and love your channel. Take care and fair winds.

[@duncan.5228]

If a Kraken can make the gorgeous Khiara into the goddess she has become, then don't leave Turkey without one. It's a truly stunning boat. Have fun the two of you. You deserve it.

[@daletamke548]

Best sailing video I have watched in long time. Cheers

[@simongear3940]

Brilliant as always. Your excitement and enthusiasm is infectious. Looking forward to the next instalment.

[@ronbatt756]

Having sailed a cutter rig 1000s of ocean miles, I grew envious of excellent Solent rigs and the big advantages they offer. 🇨🇦

[@EsotericNY]

Gorgeous sloop. You two are very lucky.

[@raymondfolsom5859]

wow that was a quick watch! Such a nice boat.

[@bloggerj]

Kraken should pay you guys for making their yacht more beautiful.

[@brucemcmillan1149]

hoy! bugger, you got to sail that!! lol, sorry i had to watch this twice through

[@averagejoe1943]

That’s how Dick gets you!!! Builds the most beautiful Blue Water boat ever, and then has you sail on it, then you find yourself selling your current boat! Love watching your channel, the blend of technical and seafaring knowledge, with both of your personalities it’s perfect! One of the best channels on KZbin! And you are my favorite channel to watch!

[@BillChild2njoy]

She is a 'smart' looking, designed and outfitted craft !! Just lovely ...

[@ondi37]

The only thing I know to say is that Adam was like a child getting his first favorite toy the morning of Christmas!!! HE never stopped smiling What a great episode and Kiarha I can't wait for you to take us through the inside. HOW delightful both your smiles were on this passage. Adam truly was like a kid in a candy store. Great episode!!!

[@srcastic8764]

I’m not even a sailor and haven’t been on a sailboat since I was a kid. But I already know that if I ever win the lottery I’m buying a Kraken yacht!!

[@andrewingram2108]

Your videos make me smile!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Your comment has made me smile too! Win win 🤟🏼🤩

[@MikeLoveBuns]

Enjoy sailing ⛵️ sailboat video ! Mike from Missouri

[@reiddaniel7172]

I covet thy opportunity. The glee in Adam's face and voice made me want to run straight to the ocean.

[@charlessmyth1339]

You lucky …….. people, looks amazing, looking forward to the next video.

[@ryfish5]

6:35 As an added bonus: the below decks lighting is on point!

[@Mrflynlow]

Wow what a great boat, I am really enjoying this. I like what I see of this boat. You have a great team and perfect sailing what more can you ask for. Really looking forward to next week. This is the first new modern build boat that really has me thinking. But to do it I would have to sell my airplane. That sit down discussion you had with the builder was excellent I have watched it twice, because what he said really struck home. In relation to a cruising boat and that is exactly what we want. It is beautifully designed. I will tell you how good it is my wife actually sat down and watched the whole discussion and that is first.

[@qbnronin]

This is one of the most exciting sailing videos I’ve seen. Thank you for putting out such great content!

[@martinbowskill5511]

She goes like a Steam Train mate easy on the eye. Lovely boat. Fair winds cheers n beers Marty

[@BillChild2njoy]

Love the Kracken ship. Looks strong and yet graceful as she seems to ride proudly along ...

[@tolgahasturk3247]

Welcome to Turkey.

[@iCitizenTube]

The Kraken 50 is an amazing boat. Buy why no in-mast furling?

[@Sailor-Dave]

Amazing what a clean bottom and new sails can do for a boat! Glad y'all enjoyed the Kraken.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Yep, so true. We’ve just experienced the new sails on our own boat but a clean hull makes so much difference!

[@SH-fi8sn]

Remarkable boat! Great video. Thank you for sharing, and so glad you got to test out the Kraken!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Plenty more to come over the next few weeks. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@Hawaiishelldiver]

As someone that has worked in marinas I know that I couldn't even afford to have this boat washed and cleaned regularly. I think most people that can afford things like this don't actually use them for their intended purpose.

[@JDski]

I came here to look at that beautiful boat.

[@ondi37]

It's called WING ON WING Adam and downwind doesn't get any better. :)

[@paultabone2010]

So when do we see the both of you in your new Yacht ⛵️🍷💖🇦🇺🌈 The smiles on your faces says it all .😃🌞🌞🌞🤷‍♀️🦋 This was a wonderful episode take care 💖🦋🇦🇺🌞🌞🌞⛵️

[@aykutaltinova]

What a great pleasure to see you guys here in Turkey as your Turkish follower from Istanbul. Big Surprise.. Hope you enjoy sailing around with Kraken. West-Southwest part of Turkey, Aegean sea, is highly recommended 😉

[@annafraley5388]

Excellent... that’s all we have to say...!! ✅

[@jamesmorin7343]

Adam's a total kid in a candy store here (and Mom just gave him $5...). I love the energy!

[@prayerteam_davidbunyau6864]

In loves to see what you guys are doing. It gives the viewers some new excitements and hoping to see more adventures to come. Cheers...!!!

[@caromarco6315]

What a beautiful boat!

[@Yeaitstemp]

Met john kretschmer other day at spring cove in Maryland just happen to be a contessa 32 for sale near his boat we talked for awhile great guy

[@_pic_7571]

I'm jealous, I enjoyed watching you guys having so much fun. Adam see if you can get a deal on 2. I'll buy one. (For the right price).

[@kingkapowable]

Cracking video!

[@nigelappleton2963]

Thoroughly enjoyed and agree with all the other comments about how cheerful you guys look but please can we have a tour of the boat, cabins (no need to make the bed!) galley, engine room, etc.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Standbys for that one. We did some more sensible walkthrough style shooting once we got back to the harbour.

[@evanlewis5347]

That is a beautiful boat!!

[@markrussellfilaroski5035]

Y'all are a cute couple. keep smiling! Keep Laughing! that's the key to life.

[@desolatemetro]

OK, I'm convinced. I think I have a new fantasy boat! Just need to figure out a way to pay for it. They are definitely not cheap though it's understandable given both the bluewater characteristics and the level of fit and finish. Really really nice boat.

[@proudpapaproductions-PapaBear]

Absolutely awesome! I have been in touch with Trystan for a while … my dream/goal is the K66… I am very very happy for you that you are getting to experience the Kraken! AND are sharing with us!! I hope you will be able to share as much as you can about the differences between The millennium falcon and the Kraken 50 … May your travels be safe….. your troubles be few … and your friends/family/and viewers be steadfast with you.

[@nonaparker564]

What beautiful sailing. So wonderful to watch.

[@richardherndon1541]

Adam looks so happy!

[@ronbatt756]

I wonder how cockpit protection is achieved for cold or wet weather? The open ocean can get very cool especially at night in latitudes far from the equator.

[@416srw]

OK Adam, you are in love and I see why. I do wonder, why do the shrouds connect at the deck behind the mast? I can see it would strengthen the rig when running, but they also block the main from fully extending.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Swept back spreaders and thus rear mounted top caps is fairly common these days. I’m reasonably sure it’s to facilitate some pre bend in the mast. Sails resting on the spreaders is a problem even for perpendicular spreaders. The Falcon has this issue too. The Solent rig sort of circumvented this by removing the need for the mainsail when running deep downwind thus keeping it off the spreaders.

[@attila.turkoglu]

Blue Voyage in Turkish Riviera is a legendary wonderful. Good Luck and happy sailing

[@wolfchild66]

Nice job guys, loving the drone work as well

[@mikakari9498]

Cool boat. 👍

[@MikeLoveBuns]

What beautiful blue water cruising sailboat! 😘😀 Mike from Missouri

[@Waterverf51]

Beautiful Video Guy's. Great Ship.!!!

[@_pic_7571]

Ohh yeah!! Hi Khiara.

[@sandrahildebrand4475]

Like yacht and team

[@greatpix]

I was noticing the sort of 'U' shape of the captain's chair and thought it would be a good idea to have a 'U' shaped seat on rollers so that when the boat heeled over the seat would roll to keep the skipper vertical and maybe save a back or neck from going out from the twisting and turning.

[@Tomm9y]

Great video! Flat seas of Turkey and steady winds, smooth sailing. Hope you can try a Kraken in an ocean setting.

[@eliciahalterman1961]

Luv u guys and your awesome personality. You can tell you both were in heaven, understandably 😁

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Happy as a dog with two tails!! Thanks for watching. We luv ya too 🤗

[@mboyer68]

Drone footage of a beautiful sailboat heeling a bit driving through waves making a gorgeous bubbly wake is the most incredible content of any content. I could watch it for hours. Days even. Thank you so much for the drone footage. Edit: I think I'm going to become a bank robber also!

[@daviddavid8389]

just to say I hadn't heard of Kraken yachts before the introduction by MF. Superb design, will seriously consider the 50 for next boat, I have been sailing for nearly a long time, so refreshing to see sensible design process. Great inspiration to see that even in retirement you can still keep busy!

[@gmonnig]

Nice! The Kraken is beautiful. I love the Quantum sails and stack pack too! Even my wife noticed them (we have them on our boat).

[@Wapps7]

The boat seems to suit you both. It looks fabulous.

[@OldGuySailing]

Release The Kraken !

[@garyblocksidge6065]

Hi Guys, great vid the boat is a absolutely amazing piece of Sailing mastery!! Your excitement is contagious I too like you would love to see you guys in one day the music choice was excellent. Stay Safe stay well Gaz form the GC in Aus

[@MrJohnBos]

Nothing like new boat fever. You guys rock!

[@jamesrhodes6462]

Great to see you guys having fun.

[@nathanpovey1376]

I believe that the Kraken has already been released. Just saying. Love you all. Z x

[@genieclarke7346]

Amazing yacht. Loving your enthusiasm
