Hi, just found your site and have enjoyed the ones we’ve watched so far. Lill is particularly interested in your comments about the Omnia oven so we watched a couple of UA-camrs where they were demonstrating the oven and it seemed pretty tricky with them burning the base of cupcakes and bread. We were hoping we could contact you to discuss it a bit further. Rod & Lillian (Sapphire of London)
Well guys that tour of the boat is sensational the equipment is top notch. The sailing boats i have had in not prepared for long long term like you have got . no wonder you are haviningh such a wonderful time. love the rose coloured sink sink cheers Kevin Ridgway
Hi Andrew, thanks so much for the message! Apologies for falling behind with our editing! I dare say we are getting more organised, so hopefully will start posting more frequently again now.
@@sailingsoraya thank you our sailboat is 31ft and no where near the space yours at 30ft has! What an incredible design, we fell off our seats when we heard 700 Litres of water!!! What?? Where???
Hi guys. Great vid and an awesome boat. Tell me, did she once have a red hull as I think I made an offer on her back in 2008? The interior and rose sink are unforgettable (and I had my reservations as you did) Obviously an unsuccessful offer!
Hi Rick, thanks for the message! Soraya had a red stripe at one stage, but but not a red hull. I understand a boat builder in QLD purchased the moulds around the late 90’s/ 2000’s and made a handful (I know of at least 3) of these little gems - all crafted with the same interior :) . Hope you were successful and found your dream boat in the end!
I just came across your video for the first time, loved the tour and I must say what an outstanding job fitting a 30" into a palace job well done. Enough for now and looking forward to more adventures on sailing Soraya and her crew of three!
Thanks Tracie! Yes Aoife is certainly growing up fast..for better or worse she is becoming more and more interested in helping us sail Soraya these days too! :) Thanks for watching ox
Hi Craige, thanks very much. No we didn’t surf past DI. Some of our friends have surfed at Great Keppel, Musgrave and Lady Elliot.. but the conditions were not right for us at the time.
Great video to get an idea of your home. Thank you. I was wondering what size house battery bank you have? Also, what size alternator did you increase to? Thanks. Clint
Hi Andrew, Unfortunately I don't know how this was done... the marine electrician set it all up as part of the installation. It was a relatively quick process, so I don't believe it was a difficult job.
goo day! perfect footage~ have a good day! 🙃
Thanks very much for watching! Your videos are awesome by the way...

It certainly is a big little boat , will u be sailing this summer 2024 .
Great to see you back on UA-cam. I was missing watching your videos.

Great video guys!
Hi Hamster Brian! Thanks very much for watching!
Nice little boat! That lounge area looks groovy :)
Thanks Cal! It appears to have divided opinions.. :) but it's been a great topic of conversation and source of some fun jokes along the way.
Good luck guys, I'll be following along for the adventure
Thanks very much for joining us Graeme!
Love love love your boat! 💗
Hi Sam and Rene, thanks so much. We just found your UA-cam channel and are really enjoying it. Fair winds!

Hi Ralph, that's quite a compliment! Thanks very much for your message and following the adventure with us :)
Great video guys, have been waiting for a tour. Aoife is growing up so fast. Cant believe how much storage you have inside
Thanks Tracie! Yes Aoife is certainly growing up fast..for better or worse she is becoming more and more interested in helping us sail Soraya these days too! :) Thanks for watching ox
Great boat! They don't make them no more unfortunately
Thanks Yoram.. She was certainly made by someone who loved their craft and we are quite proud to have her :)
Great vid , did you get any waves further north than DI
Hi Craige, thanks very much. No we didn’t surf past DI. Some of our friends have surfed at Great Keppel, Musgrave and Lady Elliot.. but the conditions were not right for us at the time.

Hi Clinton, thanks for watching! We have 2 x 120 Ah AGM house batteries, and we upgraded from a 55 Amp to an 85 Amp Alternator.
Thank you 👍
Was the conversion from Seatalk NG to NMEA 2000 with your Garmin very difficult? Did you follow a reference on the internet?
