Приєднався 12 лис 2018
The ocean has been good to us.
We met while surfing, and ever since, we’ve never been far from it - or each other. My name is Denham and I'm from Sydney's northern beaches, Mari is from Rio de Janeiro. Neither of us had any sailing experience until 2017.
We did an introductory sailing course and never looked back. We bought a 1988 Northshore 46 called “Latitude”, which we refitted in between our day jobs, slowly getting her ready for the deep blue.
In 2019 we had our first big sailing trip departing Sydney to Lord Howe Island then New Caledonia and Vanuatu, returning to Gold Coast about 6 months later. It was amazing and we were left wanting more.
In early 2020 with Mari pregnant and an eye in the future we sold Latitude and bought our catamaran which we named Rio.
Our goal is to Sail, surf and enjoy the sunshine. Whenever we can, wherever the winds takes us.
If two people who have never sailed before can refit a boat and sail an ocean, it should get you thinking…what’s your dream?

The most UNDER RATED Island in FIJI !
This island doesn't appear in any of the guide books or sailing routes.. it's not on the tourist track or even known as an anchorage. And perhaps that's what made it so mind blowingly good. Untouched, wild and teeming with life. Want to know where it is, and what it's like to visit.. come take a look!

Two Broken Bones and a Split Elbow! EP70
Переглядів 1,8 тис.5 місяців тому
A day trip to a natural waterfall sounds delightful. Visions of mossy slides and fern tree cushions. Well it didn't exactly go like that. The water was flooding, and the slides were more like rock studded waterfalls! Join the Rio crew as we take our sailing catamaran down the west coast of the Fijian island of Taveuni. The garden island providing some beautiful anchorages and more than a little...
Foiling Heaven. The CRAZIEST thing I've seen on water!
Переглядів 2,1 тис.5 місяців тому
What the hell is this!!! A tiny dinghy? A possessed boogie board? A robot Jet Ski? When this insane device came into the anchorage I just had to try it. Perfect for tow foiling, and probably a thousand other applications, but I had one thing on my mind, would it whip me into serious waves in Fiji, and then come back and pick me up? . BTW Mark thanks for letting me have a go!
The Great Catamaran RACE! Fusion Vs Grainger
Переглядів 7 тис.5 місяців тому
You know what they say, two boats going in the same direction is always a race! So when our buddy boat hoisted all sails to run us down, we knew we had a fight on our hands. Join the Rio crew as we dodge atolls and islands in the Lao group of Fiji, in a catamaran race to a mythical island full of rain forests, waterfalls, and perhaps even a local bar for a much needed cocktail or two... 00:00 I...

SHIP SHAPE: With only ONE exercise!
Переглядів 2 тис.6 місяців тому
On a boat, space is limited, our world is small, but we like to stay fit and healthy, so how do we do it? ONE simple exercise routine is the foundation for it all, and in this episode we show you what it is. You might be on a boat, you might be in an apartment, but you don't need an expensive gym membership, or even a lot of time. We do this routine even out here in remote fiji on our catamaran...
Fiji's best kept secret?

Just where is this sailboat nirvana, this promised land of anchoring bliss? A location that would be on the top 5 in any Fiji list? We will tell you, and you should go!... But in the meantime, join the Rio crew as we seek out this dream location, and on the way set a new top speed record of 19.3 knots, that's 36 kilometres an hour in a 40 foot catamaran... the captain is chuffed. There's also a...
SAILING FAST and LOOSE in FIJI: EP66
Переглядів 3,1 тис.7 місяців тому
Enough pretty anchorages, lets go sailing! We've been soaking up the beauty of the remote islands of the Lao group in Fiji, but today is a sailing day. Fast and loose is the captains order and Rio loves to deliver. Join us as we barrel through the atolls on our catamaran to an island with the most narrow and dangerous outer reef pass we have ever encountered.
Fridge is empty! Hunting to feed a hungry crew. EP65
Переглядів 1,9 тис.7 місяців тому
Empty fridge and freezer, three days sail from any supermarket, and a family to feed. Living on a catamaran in remote paradise is mind blowingly good, but it can also be stressful... however nothing sharpens the prehistoric senses like an empty belly and a crew to feed! Join Rio as we hunt to survive in our little oasis in water so clear it's like being in an aquarium....

Have you ever been somewhere where you're pretty certain the first footprints on that beach were yours? This is how we felt in some places on the island of Ongea in Fiji. The beauty of this place coupled with the thrill of a high speed dinghy ride through a volcanic mushroom rock field... has made it one of our our favourite places so far...

Переглядів 6 тис.8 місяців тому
We are in a dream sailing location, the sun is shining and island paradise is on the doorstep.... BUT we aren't seeing any of it. We are down in the hulls and bilges slogging it out... I have a leak in the port bow, and the seals on the vital watermaker are failing - water is mixing with oil in the crankcase and oil is going into our water supply ! Aaaahhhhhh

It's a big call we know! But this place will forever hold a special place in our hearts... an island deep in remote Fiji... no hotels, no restaurants, no passenger ferry's, no tourism... just Fiji before the rest of the world arrived.

It's a classic cruiser 180 degree turn... winds change, plans change... here we are sailing happily through the Yasawa Island chain in Fiji when boom... the weather throws a curveball and instead of running to an anchorage to hide.. we hoist the spinnaker and full main and run with it at full pace - but where are we going?

Love your well planned boat and love you us Australian products as much as possible
Nice video! Tks for sharing!
Terrible family
Why do you have to show your ass for click bait? I mean it's a nice ass but don't be like the rest of them mate!
Lovely boat
Only problem is there is a lack of oxygen around those stairs
Your content is absolute premium. 8.6k views is ridiculous. Love your work mate.
waterslide would be rough on ones tail bone for sure
I don't know about this day and age but years ago it was an offence to do 20 klm/hr Less than the speed limit !
I’m now five episodes in one night (of yours) and loving it. Way better than La Vagabond, Delos, et al. I have corked a smile and cracked a boney laugh so many times. Bloody hell. 😂
@@bradynixon8900 aw Thanks for the message, very encouraging to hear! We try and publish a new video every second weekend. 😎
Bloody ocker. Bumped into your feed on the iPhone and really like it. Nothing else. Signed. Kiwi. 😂
Under the radar and untouched … hmmm not for long
Awesome.
The coral is absolutely gorgeous 👍🏻 The sailing , also, was pretty spectacular. 🎉🎉🎉
So much to explore, Love Fiji
Awesome looking reef mate ✨
What a life, champagne sailing. Thanks for the video.
BEAUTIFUL😍😍😍😍😍😍
is that an emery board? I think I see you anchored off frigates sometimes?
Beautiful!
Were you able to avoid the coral when you anchored? If people find out about this place the coral might get damaged by anchors.
Amazing
Camera work is pretty off,were is the watermen?
I mean when they offer free beer and burgers (yes they did) to take an experimental vaccine you should've seen the warning signs. Turbo cancers are next if you survive the first 3 years. Good luck mate.
Yewwww epic episode and stoked to see my dad surfing with you in it🤙🏽🤙🏽
Were headed back soon too, the wrecked catamaran is being repurposed into a house and we get to put solar panels on it.
Always a great production and se entertaining, thanks
😲
Beautiful ☀️ We’ve been to Taveuni twice my husband loves scuba diving there
@@carolchampion3253 it’s so Beautiful in and out of the water over there, Beqa island also has epic scuba. Thanks for watching
@@SailingSVRio 🙏 yes we’ve stayed at royal davui and he did the shark dive at pacific harbour 🦈
You guys have the best sailing channel! Thank you for letting us share your fun!!!!
Paradise is our favorite place on Taveuni!
@@laurapitre5797 yeah so good!
Heck that waterfall looked painful !😮
@@rebeccalindeberg6801 That first drop was indeed a killer and we wouldn’t want to repeat 🤣 but the rest was lots of fun!
Any plans on getting a different catamaran in the future and if so, what will it be? I'm planning on building a Cyber 48 sometime in 2025 and can't wait till I get out on the water.
What fun, it pays to be small. Thanks for the video.
@@bobbietaylor-g1b true! Maybe a little more water would have helped..
Woohoo!🥳
😂🙏🙏👍
Congrats! Beautiful family Beautiful boat
I loved this. Fit fam 💪🫶
Fun little toy
That thing is cool. Great 360 work too.
What a machine... I hope you bought shares in the company... Could be adapted to a man over board system too, and a fishing Kontiki... Even the Ukrainians could adapt it for "other"uses...
@Denham.. Tricky approves 😆
the difference between big and small boys is the price of their toys.🥳 it looks fun.
OMG that's amazing
👍👍🥳
That is so cool. When I get my boat, I want one. Do you have a web site so that I can check them out? I tried to find something but no luck. How much does it weigh?
@@robertlaird6746 it would be a great addition to boat fun for sure. I think from memory Mark said 14 kg for the boogie and the another 14-15 for battery. For more info contact on their Insta or website zerotow.com.au/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaZc-d1LRTYHDMHcUOzz_GS32phWVPtaDMno2wt18gtFe-MJrLI84mYIpRA_aem_EqmL-BxkkfPejGnH5BULlg
@@SailingSVRio That's a little rich for my blood but supper cool.
That's insanely cool!! 🤩Great job trying it out for the first time ... AND filming it successfully!
Amazing and great skill riding the foiling board and the tow in. We all skurf behind a tinny with a 30 hp, do you think it would be able to pull a 70 to 80 kg person up on a short surfboard? What a life you have, thanks for the video.
Hey, yeah it has enough power, but it’s a lot more fun on a foil. A mate has used the boogie to tow in to waves on a 6ft board. He’s around 75kg.
Incredible piece of machinery!!! Also, you're a super talent mate!
Thanks for posting this and sick edit. 🙏 My wife is from São Paulo Brazil in Campinas. Been over 5 years since we visited. Cloudbreak is my favorite wave on tour! 🤙🤙
@@Christ_Our_Life thanks for the message! Brasil is a great country to visit and so many beautiful places. And Cloudy well Cloudy is unbelievable sometimes 🙌
Great episode, guys 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@HopeOfJoe thank you!! 🙌
