#sponsorshipopportunity #buyingaboat #boatsforsale
On this video we interview Elvstrom Sails.
Simon gets very excited about this new sail called Big Blue Runner.
Jeremy, the designer of this beauty tell us all about this downwind sail, the benefits of having one on your boat, how to use it and how much safer it is by just controlling it from the cockpit.
We are certainly having one on our next catamaran, a downwind say that furl away!
We would love one in blue!

A little bit about us...
We met in the summer 2015, we were introduced to each other by the virtual world. Eighteen months later we were getting married on a beautiful beach on Barbados, bare foot, very simple ceremony just like a dream!
Two days after the wedding laying on the beach, talking about sailing, Carla suggested... why don't we sail around the world? Guess what Simon said? "Let's do it" He took it with no second thoughts! And here we are, two years after that day in Barbados, we started our adventure in Croatia.
We made it happen working through all the challenges on the way.
Now we are enjoying this wonderful life, and what a wonderful life it is!
As we travel we will cross less fortunate countries, we would love to help to build a school or a health care centre, anything that these people may need, and in our beautiful world this is taken for granted. But for these people it's a dream, or may not even be a dream.
We will look around and when the opportunity to help comes we will put our hands and hearts in to it.

I am interested in a sailboat sail like a kite let out from the anchor windlass & helium used to keep it aloft . The wind is much stronger & more consistent higher up .

Well there is this guy that have just crossed the Atlantic on a “mini” trimaran pulled by a kite. He was successful, not sure about the issues he had.
