    A great sailing adventure well told with wonderful narration. It is great to be able to share the highs and the lows and conquer adversity when Neptune strikes with storms and even boat collision in the middle of the night. Through all this you kept your cool proving that your no stress approach works. Keep it up for your world navigation and we look forward to sharing your odyssey of a lifetime with you.

    Great video…even a year later. Thanks for sharing your journey. I have a question about that boat damaging your bow sprit: How was the repair paid for? Insurance? Did that company that owned that boat that hit you pay for it? Or did you have to pay out of your pocket? Curious who pays for such accidents when at sea or moored.

    • @CatGreatcircle
      @CatGreatcircle  Рік тому +1

      The insurance of the other boat did pay but only up to the max sum insured which was ridiculously low for a commercial boat like that. It’s better not to be hit 🙈

      @@CatGreatcircle thanks so much for your reply. That's awesome Outremer has a Rapid Response Team that will literally fly to your location and make repairs! I suppose other high-end yacht makers (Oyster, HR) have similar services. I agree, better not to be hit!

      It’s pretty boring right now waiting on the captain to arrive before we can go sailing again 🙈😎. Usually though the combination of the actual sailing and exploring new places brings more than enough excitement. Even the longer crossings are not boring at all, being in a rally does help too.

    Your videos are always wonderful and extremely inspiring! One question now that 1 year has passed since launching: which antifouling are you using and how it performs after 1 year? How long do you plan it to last / when do you think to redo it? Super fair winds! Daniele

    • @CatGreatcircle
      @CatGreatcircle  2 роки тому

      The original antifouling from the factory was Nautix A88. Worked fine during the first year but needed replacement then. It’s not available in French Polynesia so we had to switch now to Seajet 039 and because they don’t have it in black either to greenish grey like we had on the Lagoons. On the Lagoon we had to do it again every 2 years.

      @@CatGreatcircle No option to use CopperCoat? I'm hearing from other boats they have excellent results from it.
      I suspect it might be an issue for the environment, as it releases copper ions to the water (that's what kills the growth), on the other hand, all the other antifouling paints are also poisonous as heck...

      The 5X is 30 cm wider overall and the transoms and bows are longer. On the 55 the headroom is better. The rest is about the same. The interior space on the 55 somehow feels bigger, probably because of the big sliding doors and the extra headroom. The 360 vision on the 55 from the inside is much better.
