Beautiful boat for a nice family. A few of my regulars have left the sailing life leaving me high and dry so I welcome a fresh look.

[@fxpthl]

Nice to meet your family and beautiful sailing vessel. It would seem that you really have a plan for your next few years of life and Aiden is lucky young man to have folks who care enough about him that they have given all worldly things in order to live out their dreams. I have subscribed and will anticipate your next posting.

[@MrJamesOcean]

Wishing your family all the best and safe travels. Looking forward to your future videos. James from Canada.

[@marcelolangeani1064]

Hello guys! I am proud of the decision of you to baptize the boat inspired in Brazil. You're always welcome here. God bless you. Good winds.

[@oceandrew]

You finally took delivery of the boat... congrats. I've been anticipating its arrival and look forward to where you head off next and the adventures you choose to film. Wishing you many happy sunsets, fair winds and seas abaft the beam.

Thanks Timothy!

[@d.cypher2920]

i lived on a boat from 5 years old to 15 years old. 10 years, in key west, boca chica bay. it was a liveaboard, fully equipped sailing vessel. you are in for a real experience. for young aiden, this will shape his mind for the rest of his life. good luck, one piece of advice:: learn how to navigate using a sextant, learn how to navigate using a sextant....repeat. i can't stress it enough.....you never know when gps will fail or batteries will fail, or lightning will strike your vessel, or other strange electrical phenomena ...(St. elmo's fire!!)

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Got it! More concerned about lightning smoking all our electronics, even though we have around 8 devices which can provide us with gps coordinates. Thanks for the tip!

[@d.cypher2920]

Sailing Tranquilo st elmo's fire is caused by lightning charging up all metals in area. but i hear you... one solar flare though, hmmm. the chances are obviously very remote. but i've found if you give the universe a chance to bring up that very remote possibility...it will. nice video.

[@nitrolanzallamas]

Sun always sunshine from East and sunset from west , so in case of fire , lif¡ghting shut down or blackout you will always where the north is. Sextant is romantic , @@d.cypher2920

[@d.cypher2920]

@@nitrolanzallamas well said, viking. Lol. I like your confidence in your ability. Always a must for a sailor. I choose, redundancy. Be well. Smooth sailing, hope wind stays at your back, and the fire within you... never fails.

[@nitrolanzallamas]

Txs bud , you can follow us this summer in sailingkunik.com , we will start our roundtheworld trip very soon . @@d.cypher2920

[@stevecrombie5357]

good luck, I will eagerly watch for more episodes.

[@simonhunter9612]

Great intro to the yacht. Look forward to stalking you over the next year!! Enjoy.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Cheers mate! Happy stalking!

[@irakperez]

Great! you guys. Looking forward to see your adventures, because your family is pretty much like mine and the H455 is exactly the boat I have in mind for us. Please show and document whatever you might find useful! It will be much appreciated.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Will do Irak!

[@svabyssinia8969]

Congrats I can't wait to see your adventures on coming episodes!!

great first video, thanks for sharing

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Cheers Garry!

[@sv_papillon]

Hi Phil, I decided to watch your videos from the first episode because we intend to make a short trip to Croatia, rent a sailboat for a few days. I really enjoyed this beginning of you and the explanations of your beautiful boat, the origin of the family and the dream. TRANQUILO really is a great name and I'm glad they had very good times in my country. Good winds

[@martinweinlander5582]

Awesome, good travels!

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Martin!

[@horstkotte6114]

G'day, mates , all the best wishes for the adventur! Two things I haven't seen before: Boathook under Deck and the cabinet door in front of the control panel / vhf. Seems impractical, i guess the door may actually bite you in heavy weather...

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Hi Horst, yes the door over the control panel would be inconvenient, however we also have a handheld that connects to the VHF so we can use it everywhere on the yacht. And we're yet to find a better spot for the boathook, but it's working up to now.

[@howto8360]

awsome guys im pablo from sydney parramatta, and im on track to do the same thing, im 27 now and hoping in ten years im in the position you are in now all the best wishes and be safe god bless

[@CraigRBoyle]

Hey Guys, Wow finally, but I'm sure you're feeling it is worth the wait. So its coming into summer in Europe so I suppose you will spend it there. And then what? Looking forward to seeing the adventure unfold.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Hi Craig, yes summer in Europe then we head across to the Caribbean in December.

[@MrMarcelchombier]

Bon voyage et bonne aventure

[@tortugabob]

Nice boat. Great soundtrack!

[@MrSharkphoto]

And the adventure starts... Subscribed and looking forward to your travels. BTW, beautiful boat. It looks like I'll be one of those guys who starts when they are 60 (in about 4 years) lol. Better late than never.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Great, yes better late than never!!

[@BeachBow]

Looking forward to future videos!

Looking forward to following your adventures aver the coming year or so. With a lot of luck, I'll be doing the same soon. So I'll look you guys up in some balmy anchorage. Subscribed and looking forward to your postings. If your tour of the Med makes a stop in Andalusia, I'll happily stand you a beer.

[@ElleDelSol]

What a beautiful boat! I'm somewhere between 12 and 18 months from starting my own sailing journey, and can not wait to get started!

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Awesome Elle, good luck with your plans!

[@vadimshumey1667]

I'm really happy for you guys! New boat is great! Have fun! My departure time will be in 4-5 years ( have to get retired), so maybe I'll see you out there. Good Luck!

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Vadim, and good luck as well planning your departure!

[@lweltert]

Amazing start! Im myself in the forties and with young kids, and considering seriously of embracing your same lifestyle. moreover I also share your methodology, and I own a 2011 Hanse 400 I bought new and with many strange options specifically requested. I think it would be nice to post a list in this post with all the thing you chose to purchase, for future reference and to our delightment. A couple of suggestions from another Hanse sailor: get access to the wiring of the anchor windlass (I had to cut throug the cabin wall and made a permanente access); make sure you have access to rudder cables (I broke them twice while navigating in 18 knots, and It was not pleasant nor easy to make the repair). In case you are willing to do it now change the metal wires with dyneema. Put in the mast, fifteen cm under the entry of the selftacking jib sheet an halyard-guide (steel ring with no sharp edges) as tensioning the sheet wihle on one side cuts the rope. Make sure you have onboard a strong handpump to blow air in the L intake of gazole, as sometimes (quite often, let's say twice a season) especially after a rough navigation it gets obstructed and the engine goes off (there was recently a dramatic accident here in Italy last spring probably due to this issue, three people died); In case it happens quickly deconnect the tube going to the prefilter, put the pump tube into the metal Lshaped sucking tube and blow as hard as you can, it will free the intake and you are good to go, just remember to purge the air with the pump on the engine afterwards. I really look forward to see your adventures...

[@GabrielFernandes-qw2uq]

buena suerte tranquilo !

[@frank.johnston]

Good luck guys, great video and looking forward to following your adventures.We are currently in the planning stage for ours ;)

[@jakubwozniak3089]

Well see now, if my cousin can become a sailor then I can become a rock star. Nice work on fulfilling your dream, dude. I needed a bit of a pick me up.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks cuz. Remember your poor sailor cousin when you become a rock star ;-)

[@jesusaparici9815]

Lovely your first video! Good luck for your new adventure. All the best.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Jesus!

[@davidclarke7728]

Your vey lucky to be able to do it at your age , the greatest education for your son , we could not afford to do it when we were your age , I know this is old stuff for you , we have been watching your current cruising, we do sail however , we have an 11 metre cruising yacht in the UK

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Hi David, it sure is! Aiden's developed in so many ways, including social confidence and self reliance, he's sure to remember it always! Enjoy cruising in the UK - where are your home waters? We always loved sailing the Solent, despite the heavy weather at times!

[@SailingAlma]

congratulations guys on your first video thumbs up and subscribed!! the yatch looks beautiful we are very happy to see your journey

[@simonoconor8149]

Enjoyed the vid guys, best of luck on your voyage. Subscribed.

Chase your dream. if you don't, no one else will chase it for you. from Sydney Oz

That's it!!

Good on you stay in it😎👍🏽

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Cheers Dave!

[@sailingjabuka465]

good luck with your adventure! I have a son of your age and we are looking forward to see your videos. I have been taking sailing lessons for a while now and I even built a small sailboat out of plywood (videos here on youtube), but the final dream coincides with yours: sailing around the world wtih my family. great boat BTW. Best.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks very much appreciated! Hope your son loves the videos as well!

[@CauliflowerEars1]

Congrats! Can we have a bit of info on your professional backgrounds? And if/how you plan to afford long-term cruising?

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Great idea, we'll look into it in a coming episode.

[@darrelwalters]

The very best of luck guys ...... if you get to wales UK don't forget to say hi 👍

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Hi Darrel, thanks, unfortunately as much as we love Wales - your coast and your mountains are spectacular - it's a bit out of our way this time around.

[@darrelwalters]

I guess so LOL ... 😁

[@justinrice8509]

Great yacht name! Look forward to the Croatia, video's. Like to know the cost of ports in Croatia, a night! If you like to tell us. Thanks

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Justin. Croatia isn't cheap, they seem to milk everything associated with tourism. Marinas are around EUR 80 - 100 per night even in May, town wharves are a bit cheaper at EUR 60 per night, and a buoy in town or a national park is still EUR 40 per night. Churches, monuments, all cost to enter. But it is a spectacular country!

[@franciscofagundez1906]

Beautiful boat, very spacious, can it be raced in regattas. Waiting to watch your videos. good luck!

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Francisco. She is fast. As the saying goes, two yachts on the same tack is a race, three is a regatta, and we seem to be ahead in most of them!

[@ekavoian]

Yes Enjoying your videos. Your wave generator on your stern. Can you share what brand and contact point for this product.

[@TovEazy]

excited to see ur adventures. how are you liken the Hansen455 ?

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Tranquilo sails fantastically, fast and stable, very maneuverable. Main shortcoming is the deep rudder, which while key to the great performance, is a worry in some shallow harbours.

[@RobFomenko]

Was may plan at 40 as well.... didn't happen. Now its age 62 plan... But it's all good. Aiden doesn't look happy but he's the right age for this. Great name for your boat.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Bob. And yes Aiden was a bit concerned at the start, he's starting to thrive in it!

[@QuaeroveritasJustcallmeQ]

1 video (5 days ago) and already 2.9k subs, over 6k views and 10 patrons! That's some awesome marketing, how did you achieve it?

[@chillipeber]

It probably helped that they did a sweet radio interview on ABC Brisbane before leaving for Europe. A lot of traction there. And well deserved, too :-) www.abc.net.au/radio/brisbane/programs/afternoons/fil-and-el-travel/8579884

[@PierreTL]

Ah I was wondering the same! Thanks for that!

[@elisabethpiggott416]

ClareMacC. You

[@philipkenneth24]

Hi wishing you fair winds and safe waters. Is that a Hanse 455? Lovely looking boat. I'm sure she turns really well. If you could spare a moment, please expand on your choice of vessel, with particular regards to the fin and spade rudder which Hanse 455s have, and given your aims of crossing oceans? Kind regards to you and your family

[@HammerRocks]

I like the font you used on your boat name. Which font is it? Congratulations. PS. Also from Sydney.

[@starlight7830]

Please get a shotgun wind protector !

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Done! Not sure how much it's going to help in 20 knot winds!

Just found your channel and liked the firs episode. Looking forward to see your circumnavigation. Are you working in some way during the trip? How did you manage (market your channel) to get 2600 subscribers in only 1 episode? You have a new subscriber from Sweden. Cheers

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks! We'll see about doing some work, mainly El who is a joint partner in a consulting business.

[@ronpieck1007]

Hi Tranquilo ! Just a question, did you buy the boat thru Windcraft in Australia or in Europe ?

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Hi Ron, we bought Tranquilo through Windcraft in Australia.

[@lucymenczel6253]

What do you use to film edit and upload your videos

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

We use a Canon 5D Mark III for videoing, Adobe for editing, and KZbin upload function.

[@thenarrator1984]

what years's your boat? she looks new@

[@thenarrator1984]

and whats your plan for sustainability?

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

The build was completed in January, commissioning was finished in late April. Sustainability? We have installed a Watt & Sea water turbine which provides us with 100% green energy generation.

[@ChrisMcEvoy]

Awesome Great video as usual. Looking forward to following your adventure around the world :)

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Thanks Chris, appreciate it!

[@strategicthinker8899]

Did you buy the boat in Slovenia?

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

We bought the boat through an Australian dealer, who organised shipping to and commissioning in Slovenia.

[@shanslam1970]

When you enter a foreign marine what is the etiquette is there a space where you can moor your boat to find out if you can stay there?

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

Hi Shan, yes, there is usually a dedicated mooring berth in an official port of entry where you tie up and head to immigration and customs to check in. The website www.noonsite.com is an amazing resource providing the check in processes for most countries as well as lists of official ports of entry.

[@shanslam1970]

@@Expedition_Tranquilo that's great thanks I'm really enjoying your channel just binge watching it at the moment

[@brentfriedland]

I'm hooked but need to know what that theme song is.

[@Expedition_Tranquilo]

The song is Mas que nada, can't recall the original band.

[@brentfriedland]

Thank you so much and keep sailing and inspiring all of us wannabe's.

[@reynaldneron9012]

Hello family, good start, although some awkward moments when you are obviously acting for the camera... you will get used to be more natural. Looking forward to see the commissioning video, but may I mention that the fire blanket is not located in a correct place: if the stove is on fire, you will have to step between the companionway and the corner of the galley furniture to grab the blanket, without being protected from the fire. Once you pass Croatia, don't forget to stop in Montenegro, that is an awesome place (golf of Tivat). enjoy!
