[@michaelvanwinkle7919]

Thank You for the tour of your Tayana 42. An interesting and apparently well made boat.

[@somadevo]

She's spacious and beautiful, certainly a craft to keep you inspired and lovingly grateful.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Shes part of the family now 😉 We love her to pieces. Even when she misbehaves. Thank you for watching 😁

[@Josef_R]

Soma Devo And the boat too!

[@barbaralienhard3490]

Great tour, love your boat, it's really spacious!! I have a suggestion, we put a sock on each liquor bottle so they are protected a bit from hitting each other especially when we're sailing.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Barbara Lienhard great idea! i will need to buy some socks before we can implement this. you may recall adam is not big on sturdy footwear. Cheers barb 🍻

[@davidnelson3411]

Great boats those Tayana's. I happen to love all the wood. The beautiful red head ain't to bad either. You guys are great.

[@dugclrk]

Wow, I've been sooooo waiting on this episode!!!! You have a gorgeous boat! It has so much living space. Top side next? Thanks for the vid. Fair winds, be safe.

[@terrymcneilly2222]

I found you two a few days ago, and I’ve binge watched up, to this episode. You’re a lovely couple, on a great adventure. And ya talk funny. Which I find adorable!

[@rundown48]

The Tayana is a wonderful yacht ...both of you have done a lot of work to bring this one back to snuff..with a fair bit more to go,, but she is looking great ... best wishes and .....Cheers .

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

David Chandley shes a labour of love thays for sure! Cheers mate.

[@jackpruett8957]

You’re doing a very good job and I love your presentation and your boat I hope you have many years of good sailing

[@robertforsyth2010]

Thank you for the tour. You answered many of my questions from previous episodes.

[@alanduffy7993]

Thanks for the boat tour. Very spacious interior and comfortable looking.

[@jasonscott6731]

Great lay out ! Love the storage, shower and aft cabin !

[@vaq130]

awesome tour thanks for sharing

[@amillerism]

She's such a well laid out and spacious looking boat! Great video's, super informative. Wishing you fair winds and following seas.

[@silasderoma4726]

Thanks for the tour. We're looking at Tayanas and this was really helpful!

[@peterwelinder9275]

Love your boat. So cozy but at the same time practical. Guess you will enjoy it.

[@ThePhantom1Mav]

Great to finally get a tour of the ship. Love adams tech and systems talks.

[@dougford5691]

Great video tour of your beautiful Tayana 42. She is a true blue-water sailing vessel.

[@marcb6896]

Loved the tour thank you for doing this episode, I was just thinking that I didn't have a clear picture of the boat, then this episode came up. Thanks again.

[@papastevoduncan478]

Milli is a beauty, the woodwork is classic. The previous owner looks like they gave her a lot of love to be looking so good.

[@brianjoyce9040]

As carefree. Enjoying their life couple as I’ve seen. Keep that rolling you earned the smiles and yucks. Be safe

[@theinterstellarfeller]

Congrats on the boat! Love the name.

[@phillipsplanet]

She's a beauty

[@Ankeneering]

I know this is 5 years old, but I just went and looked for TAYANA 42 vancouvers for sale, it’s wild how they are all different, yours seems insanely more spacious than the others. Also, Bose 101 speakers… damn they are timeless and last forever.

[@SailingNewBeginning]

Beautiful sailboat. Happy sailing!

[@thomowens]

nice boat tour...nice to hear about the boat and see about....the radio and the other radio :) keep them coming

[@friarfox]

I like the wood finish below deck. I checked a few models online including the 55 but I think you made a great choice. Look forward to seeing your adventures. Happy trails.

[@Kenji1685]

Wow! That water is so beautiful, it looks like the boat is floating on a air. I like where the chain plates are. Nice.

[@staceylowdermilk598]

Love your channel. I have been binging on your videos now for about a week and I’m hooked. You guys are amazing - love you and Adam. You are both so fun to watch and so energetic. And the way you deal with issues is beautiful. I’m learning so much from your channel. Thank you for doing it and stAying on it. Btw I have a great little sail boat Precision 23. I love it! And I’ve gotten some fantastic ideas from you both. Keep going guys! Stacey.

[@PhillipHoskyn]

Watched all the episodes now. Looked at few bigger Tayanas in NZ nice boats, best of luck to your adventures

[@CoastalBoySailingAdventures]

Wow! very nice looking yacht... Great video, great audio. Just subscribed and looking forward to following your journey. Fairs winds & following seas...

[@scarlettvandelta3256]

Just found you guys - love what you do!

[@waldorf2007]

Fun tour. Thanks

[@alenh4132]

You guys found a great boat, she’s incredible. I have had several of those yanmars they are incredibly reliable make sure u change the sacrificial anodes often

[@philnesmith8635]

Love the name of your boat.

[@annafraley5388]

Good show and nice boat tour ✅

[@SailAwayVlog]

We're a newer channel as well and just found you guys. Really enjoy your personalities. We'll be making our way to the Caribbean in the next 7-8 months, so we'll keep a lookout for you. Great job!

[@CraigOverend]

lol, shower blooper. Looks comfy for cruising, but I'm 6'5" and I just read a 1996 model is just shy at 6'3" and I'm hunched enough as it is... :) Still, can you give us an upper deck tour and explanation of the Tayana's unique diamond stay and cowcatcher? Cheers. Good use of Carl's Sail Calculator for those performance comparisons too. 👍

[@CawffeeTyme]

Khiara, have you considered sewing together a lee cloth for the settee in the salon, that way if you're laying down off-watch, you won't roll around so much on passage.

[@thehugoalexander]

Totes having a laugh at Khiara in the shower. New subscriber going through all the old vids. Keep going guys!!! (Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi)

[@clairephaneuf1908]

Beautiful Boat

[@drewgibbons4799]

Beautiful, just a beautiful ⛵. Understand she's been more work than expected, they nearly always are even new, so you've gotten to know her intimately. What more can be said? Drew

[@israelistone2828]

Just found the channel, awesome !

[@saintetienne755]

'Ninja clean' - i'll have to remember that one LOL

[@philh3178]

So glad you posted this as there was no mention of the year, make and model in your boat search and bottom painting videos. I had to subscribe to your Instagram to find out what it was!! Anyway, a fantastic boat. I’d love to know more about what drew you to this boat and what others you considered.

[@SailingYachtZora]

Lovely boat. Fair winds

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Thanks Sailing Yacht Zora!

[@yeelinli1]

very good videos keep up the good work ,fair sailing and maybe less breakages !!!

[@lexjordan45]

Great videos guys. I'm sure you will be up there La vagabond. Keep a them coming

[@rickgarland8543]

It's not just her looks that make her beautiful it's also the fact she's always so happy every video even when things aren't going great she always seems to see the good in it and that's very hard to come by in any person these days it seems

[@michaelb.barnett2225]

Nice Boat! Barney

[@kd4ysi]

Great video just subbed y’all and that’s a nice hf rig

[@Talhern]

For your modem issue. I have had the "no vga connection on the laptop' issue as well on my work lap top. Since i run multiple monitors for work i had to find a solution. And Solution i found. There are many adapters out there. I have a vga to hdmi for one monitor and a usb to vga for my second monitor. So it might pay to look on line at your localish big box store and see what they might have available for you to work with and then you can cut out the need for finding outdated drivers. Very good looking Ship and love the name.

[@RenegadeADV]

My boat is a Spencer 42, it is interesting to me how different two 42' boats can be!

[@seatravel8536]

She is a beautiful boat.

[@jimnickles2347]

"Ninja Clean", LMAO! Cute...

[@dougmatthew9987]

On a sailboat you have backups for everything. In the US there's the Maritime Mobile Service Network , listening 7 days a week on the 20m band.

[@GOCUTUBER]

Good side project - get rid of the squeaky floor boards. Time to get the clue and nail gun out. Great video!

[@sailingdijan9128]

Nice boat!! Would love to see the exterior/ deck/ systems tour! s/v Dijan

[@joes7166]

Beautiful. She cleans up really well. And the boat is nice too.

[@bertski60]

just watched delos' latest and this one started playing after it was done. first i've seen of it but it seems to have all the qualities i like in a sailing channel. so i'm a subscriber now. i think you're the tenth sailing channel i subscribe to. looking forward to catching up. thanks a lot for sharing.

[@christianhyder558]

Very nice

[@kevinmulvihill3249]

The boat has / appears to be very spacious.

[@stimpsonjcat67]

You should be able to decode and send PACTOR using the SSB with just a mic on the laptop and using the speakers for output with the mic keyed and help near the speaker. Not ideal, but will work. Get fldigi (free) and at least for the WEFAX downloads you can run the software on the laptop and have it's mic just listen to the output from the radio. If you want to get fancy get a rigexpert. If you want to go cheap and are handy get an easy digi kit off ebay. 718 doesn't have a USB connection, so a bit trickier to connect to a PC. You don't really need the pactor modem anymore as sending/receiving is all done via the PC and software programs now.

[@bradlarden]

Great tour, many thanks. On the Icom, it's probably the serial port that you're missing. A simple to get USB to serial convertor (modern) should do the trick. It converts one of your laptop USB ports to a serial port (basically) which you can then plug into the appropriate port on the modem or Icom 718.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

You are correct that seems to have done the trick. sail mail now detects the ports at least. However i have a new gremlin since the time of recording. The pactor no longer springs to life with a light show when i boot it up. Now just a flash and back to blank.. i hope I've not cooked it 🤔🤔

[@bradlarden]

That's a bummer. I've never used Pactor stuff, so can't help unfortunately. :-(

[@jhlewis10]

Your Icom 718 is a decent little radio, with winmore and RMS Express you can email, just find a few gateways you can connect to easily and save them as favorites. Regarding your driver issues, many serial to USB connectors use cheap Chinese copies of prolific chipsets and newer drivers will not work. Get an ftdi chipset or just roll yours back to driver 3.2.0.0. Hopefully that's all your problem is. That SCS will connect more reliably than a soundcard modem.

[@rickhopkins1726]

Hey guys just found your channel and enjoying the content and your personalities! Interesting that your boat is on my list as an option to buy. I've not heard you mention the teak decks, they have steered me away from several boats, I hear so many neg things.

[@TheAustinfuller]

I like you guys Khiara you are a gorgeous sailor girl I love both of your enthusiasm.

[@JaywalkingTheWorld]

Nice channel.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Jaywalking The World thanks for watching!

[@expresso3163]

Kite storage locker. I am still trying to work out where to store the twin tip and foil when we go sailing next year.

[@sailingsvtesla9052]

Just finishing up a binge watch on your channel. Very nice boat and you two are a hoot. Looking forward to following along until I buy my own boat. One quick question... do you have AIS?

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

We recieve however dont transmit sadly. Need to upgrade.

[@razzorbladz]

Awesome boat and I must say the first mate is better looking than Elayna,finally a replacement for La vegabond im not into cat's I like monohulls

[@robvanderveen3578]

I fully totally agree on the elayna comparison and the fact that vagabond likes catamarans. There is nothing better than a monohull, congrats on the boat! Fair winds from a fellow world sailor fron holland.

[@dinkaboutit4228]

She seems a lot more useful than Elayna too, and possibly not a piss-moaning vegan (does it ever seem to you like La Vagabond kills a lot of fish for vegans?) Did you see when she slept on deck the first time they anchored? She's a bit ginger, but overall that's one hell of a wookie.

[@CawffeeTyme]

I second that opinion.....I'd take Khiara as my fave female youtube sailor over Elayna any day.

[@z_actual]

IMO wet cell battery for engine start is preferable You didnt mention AIS / chartplotter etc, maybe outside at some point? One thing, do not switch battery banks while the engine is running you will fry the alternator diodes have a good one

[@os5017]

What are your future plans? Very nice boat! Like to see the outside of the boat.

[@120taken130]

Just found & subbed to your channel-very nice! Question: do you remove the paper labels and cardboard from your foodstuffs? I’ve seen other cruisers do this (& label cans and ziplocks with a Sharpie marker) to reduce the chance of bugs/cockroaches on board! Sorry if I missed that but the boat looks so clean, I’d hate to see you two dealing with unwanted pests.

[@alangoodwin3459]

Love the boat. What did she cost? And why get her from the states?

[@francinegolbeck3116]

The Kiss wind generator comes in 12 or 24 Vdc output, I believe you have the 12Vdc model ? If so, the output is quoted at 2 amps @ 8kn; 4 amps @ 10 kn; 10 amps @ 15 kn and 30 amps @ 30 kn. So its probably rated for max 500 Watt. very nice video... P&F

[@DanCaballero]

Good winds...

[@Eddybarrett84]

Why did someone comment “Congratulations you went from being homeless and jobless to having a house(sailboat) and a job(KZbinr) yet it says you saved every penny(wow) for years( never said how many years) and never said how much you had saved up before quitting Jobs and looking for a boat. My question at what point did you think you had enough savings to start this new lifestyle????? And how many years did it take to save? How many years did you dream and plan to buy boat and life aboard?

[@Megadoculous]

No upper deck tour? Liking the videos, thanks!

[@Wedontwantnowarnomore]

A wonderful spaceship you got hold on there. So spaciesly planned. Smart with cockpit in the mid of everything. Do you got AIS aboard ?

[@stevenmeissner5695]

Hey guys. What is up with the photo of the dog in the bathroom? Great videos thus far.

[@stuartdavies9519]

Hey guys, just started following you, up to 26 so far. Seeing your probs with engines etc. For info, I write for Practical Boat Owner in the UK as a free lance. Am also their Ask the Experts engine man. If you have any more issues, give us a shout. Am on my Bene 381 in Portugal but good internet here. Stu

[@JohnAdams-qc2ju]

Serial not VGA (which is used for monitors). The term is packet radio (radio email, and not much else but maybe weather). You'd need packet radio modem software which can be used on mac but requires a lot of know how (software, radio, software, linux, etc) as you'd need to set up the software and likely on a linux or windows vm and pass it to your serial/usb port to your ham radio. If you think the ham radio community is small (which they are since most places requires you to earn a license to transmit on any freqs including packet radio (Be sure to check local laws, but as a boat sailing around the world most won't care unless you abuse it). Since you found ios packet radio modem software just use that or buy a cheap windows laptop if you cared about what platform you use it on (be sure to check for software first as often even linux/windows software might be old and may not work with newer OSs- check the software provider for details as like I said no one really uses it so almost no one makes software either out of their free time nor for sale since no one really uses it). However, it is 1 method out of 2 for weather/limited internet acesss (which isn't real internet of course due to the limitations) the other being boat internet satellite which is like $150/month + equipment which is too slow for anything like radio packet but getting weather info. However, in 10-15 years we will see better sat internet for boats hopefully if Elon Musk and other do good with Starlink or similar systems. There is a semi-3rd option of connecting to USA NOAA weather sat (you'd need a small dish like house-tv-satellite (like DishTV/etc) (anyone is allowed to download/downlink from it) but they provide a basic real-time global weather image which models are based on by experts so its not useful to most people unless you study it some and excludes earth weather station info so even less helpful (but is a free resource to everybody the US provides like GPS (even know most countries like Russia, China, or Europe make their own) even knowing the US covers the globe.

[@dougmatthew9987]

Nice boat. You might think about getting your Ham radio license. Also look to the ham radio community to get your pastor modem working. Also look into "Winlink.org", its software based and you don't need a modem.

[@dougmatthew9987]

Mister Professor I wasn't suggesting they take up a new hobby. They already have the equipment. Ham radio can be another means of communication in an emergency.

[@benmac7315]

Its standard marine radio equipment which is all covered by marine radio telephone operators certificate, which is compulsory under international regulations for using marine frequencies anyway. So why would they need an additional license?

[@va7dgp]

I have a 3 SCS-PTC tnc. I run a Winlink Gateway for Amateur Radio. Sailors have sent Emails and gotten their Grib files. Your serial Cable adapter should be FTDI. stay away from the cheap prolific as most of the times they are pirated

[@sm6wet]

Thank.you for the nice.tour. Been looking for a boat like this. May I asked what you paid for it? Oh, and the water maker is probably doing 25 US Gallons, not imperial and that may why you get it to 18. Guess

[@dwk8081]

Cool Video guys!! May I ask how much you paid for the Boat?

[@user-fo3pr3oq5j]

Is the tayana42 suitable for sailing with 6 people?

[@bloodmuffin123]

What would a boat like that cost?

[@AGKRex]

Probably a com port, not a vga port.

[@roberttoodie275]

At least the shower works.... ;)

[@armslength2618]

At about 50 seconds, there looks like a lot a slop in your starboard/lee stays.

[@SailingVesselPrism]

I saw the same thing! Need to tune that sucker!

[@stanislaswerner]

Saw it too. Sure way to stress a cable.

You r a Walley Kido nice shower demo

[@moejaime2654]

Did the Millennial Falcon come with the cute princess ?

He already had his own.

[@romeowhiskey1146]

Nice BOAT TOUR. Looks like a well equipped vessel. Do you know the family from Sailing Catalpa? They are also from the Gold Coast. I'll also ask THEM on their website. Nice to see that subscribers has gone from 497 to 605 in less than a week! Thumbs UP #15!

[@peter99ff1]

Ok you may have pulled yourself out of my controversy I was having from a previous video of how disappointed she looked when you mentioned it wasn't your wedding,(It's on record you can go review it), what is going on with that mustache?!? I love what you two are doing and hope to fund you and follow to do the same, soon. You're both incredible and love it. Wish you well. Fair winds and following seas my friends.

[@Josef_R]

You keep leaving out what you paid for it. Many people watch sailing videos to get an idea what a certain level of boat and condition will cost them.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Josef thanks for the comment mate, it’s in the works ;)
