  • Now the bigger crossings are starting. We have a nice build up with first the 650 miles from Sevilla to the Canaries, now the 850 miles to Cabo Verde and next the 2.100 miles to Barbados.
    Difficult weather patterns but still surprisingly good sailing times.

    Great work (noted that you dropped the main to keep speed over the waves timed well with the hull passage- less rock & roll, less work for the autopilot, less stomache discomfort for all!). Really enjoy the forward buoyancy- very safe with all of that sail up! I've really come to love the whole boat- she performs so well in light airs!! Great use of your sails. Thank heavens Tinna enjoys fishing & making sushi! Hahaha... great passage, GreatCircle! Thanks for taking us along too!

    Please give us an idea of the running costs of Sailing Great Circle. Your videos and lifestyle is inspiring and you make it look easy.

    • @CatGreatcircle
      @CatGreatcircle  11 місяців тому

      In the first couple of years the running costs are pretty low. Insurance is the biggest post, especially when sailing outside Europe. We use just a bit of diesel and are on anchor most of the time. Breakage outside of warranty has been almost zero except for recently the main halyard and the gennaker.

    Great quality photography! Nobody gets tired of watching dolphins at the bow. A sailors best friend. Impressed you can do about 0.75 of the wind speed! Awesome sailing machine. Two requests; can you show more of the places you stop at? Also hold the shots of the instrument screen for a second longer? By the time I try to pause it it is gone, and it takes me a while to read the wind direction and speed! The boat speed is easy to find first. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

    How many knots per hour do you average at 1200 or 1500 rpm?

    • @CatGreatcircle
      @CatGreatcircle  2 роки тому

      One engine 1200 rpm we would normally only use with a sail up. 1500 rpm one engine no sail will give you around 5 to 5,5 knots

    • @barryholiday8998

    Hey, can you navigate inside the boat ? If one day, i buy one of this, i would love travreling around the world, included in Antarctic to see the iceberg and artic to see the polar bear. If i'm asking if we can navigate inside, it's because it will be too cold from outside.

      Sure, why not? Careful with the icebergs though, maybe an explocat 52 would be a better choice?

    I'm very curious to know, as a liveaboard couple, do you miss the walk around berth that you had on your Lagoon 52? I know it sounds a small thing, but having to crawl down the bed to get out vs. just getting out on your side seems so inconvenient. Does it bother you? Also, how can you possibly make the bed properly if you have to crawl up to the top, rather than access from the sides. Again, sorry for the anal-retentive questions, but small things over time could grow in annoyance and since you have experienced both, I was curious to hear your experience.

    • @CatGreatcircle
      @CatGreatcircle  3 роки тому +2

      It’s the same as we had on the Lagoon 39. Getting in and out of bed is not an issue, pretty sure we’ll stop sailing before this gets to be an issue.
      Making the bed is of course much easier with a walkaround bed
