Just watching this and the numbers climbing did some calc.views are at around 1000 per hour(hrs on air divide by views)thus more frequent e.g. weekly videos would increase views and therefore revenue giving more possibilities to do cool stuff,getting more reviews and shares thus growing subscribers... vicious circle...think that's what happened with vagabonde....then you can get to stuff you been wanting to do.....just saying!
Megan, I was born a “Boone” and am also related to Daniel Boone from the early pioneer days. I believe he is a cousin to me but I’m asking my mom to confirm. Anyhow, we love y’all’s videos and look forward to seeing your new home on the water.
Good to hear you guys are sticking to the performance cat plan. Fast cats really are the most fun and I know you guys will get a lot of personal satisfaction in becoming expert at tweaking the rig to make your cat purr and sometimes, even jump and yowl and howl. It's simply exhilarating. And will also be great fun and very exciting for the viewers of your channel to watch you guys zooming about. Thus, everyone learns and we all have fun. That's a win win you guys. Fingers crossed for this one. Let's hope it's the right one for you guys, hope you nail it.
Can't wait to see the next boat, and the adventures it leads us to! And since there is no perfect boat, I want to hear the good, the bad and the ugly as you shift gears from your last boat. Enjoy the transition and fingers are crossed that THIS is the one...finally!
Hi guys my name is Martin and I have been following you since Covid , I was never able to give a like or comment due to limited internet access and wi-fi. I am able to verify that without your contribution to my sanity I would be a mess today. Thank you for every video you have made and posted, it is what made things bearable, I am forever grateful to you, thank you 🙏
Martin, it makes us so happy to think that one of our little productions brought a smile or two. I don't think you could pay a higher compliment. We all have dark times, and you just brightened one for me. Thank you. We never know what shores the pebble's waves break on....cheers.
Thanks for the update. I think you’ll be happy with a performance cat. Regarding your earlier video, sailing full speed 6000+ miles to a hard deadline isn’t typical cruising. We sailed to Mallorca yesterday upwind for 120 miles on our Outremer 45 no problem. On many cats we would have had to motor. Love the boat! I can mostly single hand it when my wife is sleeping. And it’s easy enough to take an extra reef if you want to slow down and relax.
@@TheOKellys we started close hauled in light wind at TWA 50. As the wind and seas built we gradually fell off to TWA 60 and took two reefs. We kept close to the wind nearly the entire way. The weight distribution and narrow bows help keep the ride smoother upwind. Some other cats I’ve sailed hobby horse badly due to excessive weight in the bows or slow way down due to big windage, or slide sideways instead of moving forward, or get a lot of bridgedeck slamming. We love that our Outremer lets us sail more and motor less.
Yay! So good to hear some news…and seemingly good n positive news at that… We’re holding thumbs and crossing everything for you… we’re out on the green machine next weekend (forecast is less than 35 fortunately!) Glad you’re both well 😊
A wonderful mix of hilarity and sober reflections. While watching this episode, I kept having someone pop into my mind… Steve Martin, a wild and crazy guy! You two have already done the powerboat thing, many times!!! And will again…those dinghys you use in port and near-shore adventuring 🤪
So, I always thought our first boat will be aluminium... dropping a metal object inside an aluminium hull resulting in corrosion was not on my radar whatsoever, and now a 2nd hand boat from aluminium will probably feel like a ticking time bomb. I subscribed, after watching Nick do some repairs on Clarity, because I want to watch and learn from people living the dream. Amazing that you can be on land, and still teach us valuable lessons. Thank you,
The problem with aluminium cats on market, is that so little of them being made. And even less made professionaly with right alloy that have 6% of magnesium. And among those tiny numbers of good Al-Mg catamarans there is no real choise. I wonder why modern manufacturers avoid Al-Mg catamarans and we don't see new start-ups. Because demand on catamarans is so big now, yet we don't see new brands now.
A Ranger Tug/Cutwater AND a Sabre in one episode! We loved our Ranger Tug, but the Sabre is a whole other level of beauty and beast. Tell Uncle Tom his yacht is gorgeous! Also, the need for speed is real. 🤙🏼
I was recently thinking about you folks and hoping all was well. I figured you were doing what you needed to do, and now with the news of the new boat, am very much looking forward to the tour.
Sort the comments by "Newest first". They replied to two comments similar to the one you wrote some 11 hours ago. So yeah... I would say they are "just fine" ;-)
I love the conversation you spark. And always in such a good mood that you can lift anyone´s spirit. I´m sure you´ll finally find the right boat. BTW, that moment at 5:06, gosh, you look like models in a commercial LOL
I've taken the same path where I'd contemplate the deeper meaning of cruising as well... literally!, that's "the path" I used to walk a couple times a week wondering if I was doing the right thing moving aboard my boat ! You guys are everywhere ! 😄
FINALLY, you've got that boat! 🎉 about aluminium boats - just a thought - perhaps someone could contact Sika and ask them if they could develop a coating for the inside of aluminium boats?! Somethind like what they do when you waterproof a bathroom before tiling etc.
Great Video. Glad to hear about the progress on a new boat. If you ever get the chance, I would love to see you trying out a Nordhavn 56MS and sharing the experience. Maybe something for that Alaskan Future.
Something tells me there is an Australian element to this - I saw you at Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast today. Stood right beside you at the traffic lights. I was going to say hi but you two were chatting away so nicely and animatedly that i didn't want to intrude. I hope your Aussie trip is going well
Were we talking about Swedish meatballs? lol. You shoulda said hi! We love it here. Have decided not to buy a boat, but take that money and buy a 3 sq m lot in Coolangatta. Cheers!
You're absolutely right! When sailing grabs hold of your heart it just won't let go. I'm over the hill in the winter of life and still pine for the open ocean. My knees are shot and my stamina is laughing while my spirit thinks I'm 30 again.
Thank you for the video. You re-emphasized a lot of details that make up your reality. Yours is the only sailing UA-cam video that I continue to subscribe to. You research your facts and you are realistic unlike .... I am well past 70 now and finally boat-less although brokers continue to contact me. Like your uncle, I realized that I no longer wanted to deal with all the work that is involved in sailing. So, I now fly where I want to go or let others take me sailing.
Brokers out beating the bushes again. Uncle Tom has owned many sailboats, and still has a J80, but yeh the time comes when the equation changes…if we are lucky in life. Glad you’re in that group!
Have a look at the Long Reach Catamaran, also the Barefoot Doctors Sailing new Portofino Aluminum Catamaran. Whatever boat you end up with, I really with you both all the very best.
@@spacewalktraveller1 They've said in previous vids that they don't want to buy new because of depreciation. And why would they pay for a totally new boat from a completely unknown new little boat builder in Dubai?(!)... Doesn't sound at all like it's something fiscally conservative people like these two would do...
@@angela1984a People who like boat look at all sort of boats, I look at mega yatchs even though I can't afford them. Just like people who love cars look at all sorts of cars. The two builders I said were just for their information. Did I say they should buy these?
Sailing into Freedom (Plucky) is building a Aluminum Performance Catamaran for that race around the World using no Fossil Fuels. I think it’s being build in Greece, but it should be exciting, especially the race! I can’t wait until everyone is back in the water, I’m not one of those people who like to watch repairs, I think I can probably do most of them by now!
Delos is building an aluminum catamaran in Australia and it looks pretty damn badass. Lightweight, strong, custom. Not a bad idea if you can't buy a boat you like.
Nick, you have been through the wringer this last year or so.. your credibility has been questioned, but you don’t give up. You continue to pursue your dreams with your head held high. So sorry about your couple of experiences with the Outremer in Australia and the following Atlantic crossing. Only wishing you lots of success.
Great to hear you finally found a boat! Although I am a little confused about the performance/non-performance thing, after the last video ? :-) Hope to see sailing videos soon. Good luck.
Steve dashew is one of the most iconic boat designers and sailer .steve went from a 78 ft beauwolf monohull and designed motorboats and retired on a motorboat built in new zealand .
Next time you are out, You have to try the hike or bike from Champoeg Park to Buttevillle. You get ice cream if you make it to Butteville :) Way less leaf blowers but still short fun and pretty.
I would venture to guess the effort to "shake out" the problems of a custom designed boat are at least as challenging as those of a new boat made to pre-existing plans.
How about a 5 minute update on how things are going with the transaction. I assume you would do this if you could (if it was in your best interest) but playing your cards publicly is not a good strategy, especially if things are not going as smoothly as hoped for....which never happens...right?🤣 Wishing the best of luck on this one and hope to hear some good news soon!!!
Ha! Freezing in the PNW 😂. I moved here because its the warmest place in Canada! While it isn't the Bahamas, it isn't Montana or Alberta either. So glad to be here....and there is great boating as a bonus. Not saying I wouldn't mind a boat in the Bahamas, but the PNW is a pretty easy life.
We were trying to figure out where at on the Willamette River you were until you said Lake Oswego. I grew up in West Linn! Cheers from a fellow native of Oregon. We love your channel and we’re looking to move our family onto a boat full time in the next 18 months.
So good to hear about your life and the possible new boat. Did you know there are only two kinds of people? Those who are Irish and those who wish they were. All this time(80 years) i thought Daniel was Irish.lol
Hey guys. Greet to see you are doing well. Something struck me from the video. First I remember Nick mentioning the desire to bike accross Europe. And then in this video Megan mentioned “we are 50, we have time.” If biking across Europe is really a thing you both want to do, it’s something you should do when you are still young enough to do it somewhat comfortably. I know you got salt in the veins. But now is the time for that “side adventure” Just know, I would totally watch the shit out of it. Not just for the adventure, but you “hosting” that adventure. I’ll continue to watch whatever you do. But if it’s one thing I learned from watching you guys, it’s to follow where you dreams/desires take you. Just my 2 cents. Dig you guys. Now if you excuse me it’s off to the local Mexican market for a glorious buffet of deliciousness.
We are working towards selling our Lightwave 45 soon. Liveaboard and proven bluewater setup. East Coast Australia. If your current contract falls through...
guys, I dont know if you will read my comment but I miss you so much, I was really excited about meeting you in Miami, hope you guys get on the water soon, much love from an internet stranger
My wish is to build my own because the cost will be 50% of a production boat, the timeline would be about the same (2-3yrs.) construction versus waiting "take a number" and most importantly going and running across all the wonderful people whose channels I have watched for years. The whole thing is experimental and the ONLY way to test it is to BUILD it ! Otherwise, given your resourcefulness, I wonder how far along you would be if you had started building your own over a year ago. Just a thought
Another great video, very helpful with where I am at in my life too. I too feel like if I go back to living in a house (I live in my truck camper, mostly camping in nature), I'd get to that place where I've done everything and am ready to go elsewhere. But with that, how do you see it in 10, 20 or 30 years ? It's hard to picture it into old age. For aluminum, my camper has an aluminum roof and one issue is that it accumulates sun heat and by evening, the entire structure heats up so much that it stays warm through the night. So I am curious to see how Delos solve that, if they put a special paint to reflect sunheat.
Hahahaha - I'm also related to Daniel Boone! His (younger?) brother, apparently? Something like that. But boats! Hope you land that dream boat soon and get back on the water!
@@wayneanderson1641 I missed that. Is that all they’ll get, or was that into wind and seas. I know I was struggling to get that when crossing the bay of biscay a couple weeks ago - wind, swell, seas, right on the nose, and admittedly with only one engine, I was struggling to get to 5 too.

So many Daniel Boone connections here! I was told that I'm related to his wife- Rebecca Bryan. Cheers, possible/likely relatives, kindred spirits.
The great thing about sailing is that everyone has their own dream and their own pathway to achieving it.
Exactly. Cheers!
Leaf blowers are the jetskis you thought you escaped when you got back on the land.

There’s three different sailing channels that have recently got new boats , and the shake down cruises were stressful to say the least.
I can't wait to see what boat you come up with. All the best.

Hope the boat works out! Bummed if you end up in the South Pacific because it’s less likely we’ll cross paths again
Never know…
Nice to see you back, been wondering if you got too burned by the recent euro situation, anyway I like the sound of a perf cat in the works!

@@TheOKellysKL?!?? I’m in your neighbourhood in Singapore!!
Another great video, very helpful with where I am at in my life too. I too feel like if I go back to living in a house (I live in my truck camper, mostly camping in nature), I'd get to that place where I've done everything and am ready to go elsewhere. But with that, how do you see it in 10, 20 or 30 years ? It's hard to picture it into old age.
For aluminum, my camper has an aluminum roof and one issue is that it accumulates sun heat and by evening, the entire structure heats up so much that it stays warm through the night. So I am curious to see how Delos solve that, if they put a special paint to reflect sunheat.
As long as it’s fun…
Oh, and don't get me started on leaf blowers...!
fingers crossed for you and at last
Hahahaha - I'm also related to Daniel Boone! His (younger?) brother, apparently? Something like that. But boats! Hope you land that dream boat soon and get back on the water!
That’s so cool, nice to meet you cousin!
To be fair, at this point any boat that floats and goes forward would be a performance boat for y’all.
Lol
Thankyou
Lots of love from Canada ❤️ 🚛🚛🚛🚛 🍁
YUSS!
I really hope this works out for you. We really only follow you, Nahoa, and the Wynns, so up until recently - only one couple was sailing! 😂😂
Fingers crossed!
The winns, 5 miles an hour under power is not exactly spectacular😮
@@wayneanderson1641 I missed that. Is that all they’ll get, or was that into wind and seas. I know I was struggling to get that when crossing the bay of biscay a couple weeks ago - wind, swell, seas, right on the nose, and admittedly with only one engine, I was struggling to get to 5 too.
