Great job Holly what a perfect little tour of sabado can't wait to see what's next
Thank you! ☺️
Loved the video what a wonderful tour. It is always so nice as your videos are so interesting and fun
Glad you liked this one!☺️
Looks great! Very organized 👍maybe next one will be sooner and sailing ⛵️!
Thanks Randy! 3 day passage vlog coming Saturday⛵️☺️
In the process of purchasing and your video helps immensely with storage solutions!
So glad to hear that! Let us know if you have any other questions. :)
Hey Holly and Ray! Im going through yalls videos as I have time. So happy for you all getting to enjoy your dreams.
Hey other Holly and Ray! Thanks for watching❤️
@@HollyandRay Question.....did you all grow up in this lifestyle or around it? If not, how'd you learn? How'd you make the $$ to afford it? I totally understand there is NO blueprint for everyone to make $$ the same way, but out of curiosity. Business owners? Stocks? Investing? Internet success? Good Old fashioned hard work saving that dough?? hahaha. We for sure dream of living on the water someday, probably not for the rest of our lives, but we've never been out on a sailboat. Wondering how we could get that experience. We really know very little about how to get on a sailboat. No one we know owns a sailboat....no one I know knows someone with a sailboat! lol!!! I'm affraid if I just show up to a marina with my family to get an experience, we will get ripped off or taken advantage of.....I guess as a video suggestion, maybe talk about how someone like Me and my Holly could get into this, or at least try it out! Maybe folks like you all could do day trips for people like us, and we can pay you an amount that we feel isn't too much, and you feel is a nice profit? Just thinking out loud here.
We’re both currently living off of savings and investments. Holly was a microbiologist before boat life, and Ray was an engineer/business owner. We’ll probably need to work again at some point, but for now, we’re enjoying our freedom! We’ve met plenty of couples who work remotely (thanks to Starlink) and others who dock their boats and fly to their land homes periodically to work.
As for getting into it: we’d recommend trying an in-person sailing class. Companies like LTD Sailing here in Grenada take folks out for a week at a time, so you can get a feel for boat life while also getting a couple of sailing certifications. ⛵️
@@HollyandRay Awesome. Yeah, I am an Engineer as well...what are the odds the Rays are both engineers? My wife is now homemaking on the homestead, raising the boys, we just entered foster care also. Holly used to do background checks and credentialed Doctors to make sure they are who they say they are...She is so happy to not be working right now. I plan to have her not work hopefully permanently. Its so wonderful having an adult do things on the homestead, that I can trust to do things right.
Thanks for the advice on sailing. Next year is our 15 year anniversary, so we might do a week on a boat. I'll look into that. Much appreciated!
Great info on the commoderizer and enjoyed the tour
Thanks, Tom! :)
Awesome guys! 👍 I'm a new subscriber, keep up the good content!
Thank you!! Will do🥰
Great tour!
Thank you!:)
What a wonderful boat!😀👍👍
Thank you!!❤️
@@HollyandRay You are welcome.🙏🙌🙌🙏
I miss that boat so much!
beautiful boat...well done
Thank you! We love her⛵️❤️
What a great boat👍👍
We love her! ⛵️
Beautiful boat!
Thank you!☺️
Awesome,stay safe, fair winds
Thank you!⛵️
Great tour and so very well organised. I love it! What sort of engine only performance and fuel burn do you get with the larger motors? Love from Melbourne, Aus.
Thank you! We usually motor with a single engine at about 2200 rpm. That burns about a gallon per hour and, depending on sea state, gives us about 5.5 kts of speed.
Fantastic tour, thank you both. Well done. Many clever upgrades and smart usage of space. Quick question. I see in the engine bays an automatic fire suppression system mounted above the Yanmars. What make and model did you install? I’ll soon own L.42 hull 190 when she exits charter duty, and will need to do some upgrades.
Thank you! They don’t have a brand name on them, but I think they’re by Fireboy, and they aren’t automatic, we have to pull the ring.
Good to know. Thanks again. Hey I saw some great pics posted on your Instagram👍! Fair winds 😎
Yes we just finished a 4 day passage! New video will be up in a few days! :) ⛵️
Thanks for the walkthrough, very nice. Can you post a link or spell out the Comodarizer Tablet System? :)
Thanks Douglas! Here is where we bought our commoderizers: www.commoderizer.com :)
Great video Holly and Ray. Very informative and professional. One question; the lounge area beside the galley, I understand, can be converted into a 2 person berth. How easy is this to execute and do you know its subsequent length and width?
Thank you! Our table top lifts up and we just swap the legs out for shorter ones- it’s an easy job for the two of us, but can get tricky if you try to do it yourself! Not sure what the measurements are but we’ve both slept on it comfortably (your feet may dangle off depending on where you lay since it’s not a rectangle though)!
@@HollyandRay thank you. Good to know two adults can sleep on it comfortably. We will configure it for teenagers :)
Hi! I love the boat! I wanted to ask how tall Ray is and if head space is ever an issue for him. I've found it difficult to find how tall the space is from floor to ceiling in lots of these catamarans. Thanks, great video!
Holly is 5ft 11in and Ray is 6ft 4in and neither of us need to duck! We find it very spacious.
Hi, I was wondering what the bow cabin’s would be like for sleeping. Especially what kind of length they are (thinking narrow bed but for someone around 6.3” tall!) Also likely to be a problem for heat in warm weather? I guess not much ventilation in those little spaces.. thanks!
Hi! If you’re referring to the actual forward cabins, they are full cabins and are very comfortable (full bed, 2 hatches and a fan, so airflow is no problem). However, if you’re referring to the forepeaks, they would be very uncomfortable to sleep in. We use them for storage, and they are cramped, hot and stuffy!
Great job guys! Was just on a 45' Leopard for a week in the E. Carrib, is it common that these cats can't run a generator while underway? Also, do you have DC air conditioning units? Can you run the AC at night without the generator? Thanks guys!
We’ve ran our generator underway, but there can be issues if there is a big sea state. Our air conditioning units are AC. We can run them off our batteries, but we don’t because they would drain them fast!
Great tour and very informative. Have you had any issues with the boat that new owners should look out for?
Thank you! Every boat has issues, maybe we’ll make a video about that soon, but all the problems we have that we don’t catch on camera we write about on our blog www.svsabado.com :)
@@HollyandRay thanks, I’ll check it out. Cheers!
How do you make the bubbly water? That would be nice after a long day in the sun.
We built a hose + nozzle that delivers the CO2 into 1L bottles of our tap water! It’s similar to a Soda Stream, but on a larger scale. :) We love it!
Great
Great tour! I’m considering a L42 and this was helpful. Are you happy with how well it’s set up for short handed sailing? Is there anything you would change or add in that regard?
Hey! That was the main thing that drew us to this boat, she is so easy to sail short handed, you don’t even have to leave the helm. There is nothing we would change in that regard!
@@HollyandRaywell that may be the decision maker for me. Thanks!
Glad we could help! Let us know if you have any other questions, we’re happy to chat:)
Hey are those tall davits custom made or something you can order? I like how the solar panels Extend the shade at roof level
The davits are factory but the solar arch was custom made in Trinidad!
Very cool
So nicely equipped, any particular shoutouts for who did some of those upgrades? JustCats? We have a Leopard42 on order
JustCats, Multitech, and Marine Pro to name a few! Anything specific you’re curious about?
@@HollyandRay solar is a big one, along with canvas options. And I’m torn on getting a generator or kit. You guys only have 180 hours. It’s a 36k add from the factory.Thoughts?
Ours was done in the Caribbean, but JustCats does really good solar and commissioning work. As for the generator- you can see if Leopard will install everything you need for one without actually installing the generator itself and you can make that decision after you have a chance to use your solar/wind setup, see if you’d actually use a generator.
If we had to do it all again we’d probably keep the generator, but pay the extra $$$ for a quieter unit! We’d probably use it more often for AC/hot water if ours wasn’t so freaking loud😂
@@HollyandRay thank you guys! Cheers from Medford Oregon :)
Hi, some people really talk bad about Lagoon catamarans....we like the 46 and especially the 55....do you have any info that could help us understand if Lagoons are good boats or bad boats?....some comments talk about the finishes not holding up?....ie cabinets and veneers....others say the toilet tank placement causes the toilets to back up and stink?
Hi! You can find negative remarks about every boat. We’ve had Sabado since 2018, and we’ve had to add some adhesive to the veneer on the sides of the bathroom doors, but that’s it. Any boat with veneer will likely peel over time; that’s not a Lagoon specific issue. Our friends on FPs and Leopards have dealt with it, too!
We haven’t had the toilet issue you mentioned… not sure if that’s a problem on the 42s. Overall, most production boats are just platforms to improve upon, so buy a boat you love enough to deal with its problems! Our Lagoon has been good to us. 💙
That's good to hear....we follow Sailing Joy also and they also say they trust and love their 46...they said the first year and a half had a lot of things break but most of it was from outside vendors not Lagoon.....because the 55's are so new and the first ones are just now being finished we haven't found any info from owners....we think the layout of the 55 is the best we've seen....inside and out....I wish I could have straight shafts instead of sail drives and a owners version but they are not willing to do either....Portifino is building some really promising boats but none finished yet....I like the Knysna 550 a lot also and they will make what we want at a better price than the Lagoon 55 with much better looks, fit and finishes but 3 years to get one....really appreciate your input....we are asking everyone we can about the boats they own to hopefully end up happy with what we choose....I do find it strange that in all of the boat shows you don't see any of the main youtuber channels talking about Lagoon.....or Knysna for that matter.....I wonder if they are somehow paid to just promote what they do?.....glad you love your boat it looks great.....happy sailing....will be looking for your videos...Carl & Karen
Do you have a clip where gettin deeper in the Matrix System? Whats the name of it?
What are you referring to? Not sure what a matrix system is…
Sorry, maybe I understood wrong, at 1:32 the system with all the temperatur and data
Gotcha! We first set it up and showed the final product in a video called “Let the boat work begin! (Navigation station transformation)” but have since made a lot of changes to compliment our recent battery/solar upgrade. We’ll show an update on it next week. :)
@@HollyandRay oh yes, lookin forward 🤗🤗
Where did you get the salt water toilet treatments? Thanks
www.commoderizer.com :)
@@HollyandRay Thanks, couldn't find it because I didn't know how to spell it 🙃😇😀
😂 No worries, we should’ve put it on the screen or something!
Do you have a seperate Alarm for the CO2 ? If there will be a leak, it is dangerous because it will go to the rooms downstairs.
Yes, we do!
Perfect, just for safety 😀 Can you tell me which system it is, because we need ist also and our CO2 bottle is downstairs under a bed, installed from the previous Owner, it is to dangerous with 15 kg CO2 without a Warning System. Mostly the systems are only for CO Carbon Monoxide not for CO2 Carbon dioxide. Thanks 😀
Ours is just combined with our fire alarm, there isn’t a brand name on it anymore but we got it from Lowes or Home Depot! :)
Hi, how do you get 300L more of water? The specification say it's not compatible with generator - Thanks!
Hi! We have an aftermarket installed generator.
@@HollyandRay Thanks for the answer, and put it where?
It’s in the regular generator compartment, it’s just a smaller generator than the factory would use.
@@HollyandRay Thanks again! my best!
Greetings Froom colombia south america.
Hello! Hope you’re doing well over there🇨🇴
Like number 666 😈
You used the boat to make a video about yourselves.
Would love to see you edit everything about the boat out of this video to prove your point😂
