- Welcome to Sailing AWEN, our home on the water for two years! In this video we give you a tour of our first cruising sailboat, the 2020 Fountaine Pajot catamaran, and talk about how we set it up to begin our journey as liveaboard cruisers.
***OUR BOAT HAS SOLD *** as we look forward to moving our home to a light displacement sailboat from OUTREMER in the near future. We cover this in our blog and in our podcast, so make sure you check out our new video series for our new boat!

Or listen to our COVERT CASTAWAY PODCAST about making the transition over two years to liveaboard cruising on this boat. Check it out anywhere you get your podcasts. Since we are podcasters, these videos are a new thing for us so thank you for your patience as we get used to the new format.
Brilliant
There are two problems in my life motorbikes and boats. I love the freedom on both and both do not allow me my 6.5f. This is a lot of boat for my headroom. Thanks mate for your kind measurement in shower and doorway - I seriously appreciated that.
Totally prefer the forward storage much more over a scrunched up cabin and head. B. R. A. V. O. ‼️ 🎉
Just saw you guys on The Wynns channel and now following you guys. I am from Auburn Ca. and hope to be on a boat in a couple years!
Thank you for watching!
Great to see a video I have listened to all podcasts and to see your faces
Awesome, thank you!
Excellent tour, thank you. Liked the layout.
Beatiful boat, Thanks for sharing!
What a great tour and such a well designed boat. I'm looking at a similar, fountaine pajot 42 in a few years so it was really helpful seeing how you organised yours such as cockpit enclosure. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. I have been listening your podcasts for about a year.
Topi, thank you for listening to our ramblings. Let us know if you having topics you are curious about.
Gorgeous boat. Love how organized u are! Will look forward to seeing more videos ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you Yvonne! ❤️
Great tour, thanks for sharing. Beautiful boat!
Thanks Mark, you need to get out here soon!
WOW….your boat is awesome! So much space.
It really is a lot of space, we don't use half of it!
It is nice to place both of your faces relative to listening to your great podcasts- thanks ever so much : ) You new boat is beautiful!
Thank you so much for listening Paul!
Thanks for the tour, I been enjoying your podcast from the very early days(Hope😜) and have so loved your journey and the lessons you learned and shared have been great.
( I now defiantly wouldn’t take factory delivery if I was so lucky!).
I think you missed how wonderful your water maker is but that’s clear from your podcast.
Cheers Warren
Thanks Warren! Yes, I did forget that. I love our watermaker. Stephane wants to do some more detailed videos on specific things so we didn’t end up with a 2 hour boat tour video, lol! We truly appreciate all of your support and advice over the last couple years. You have made us better!
Been listening to your podcast for a long while always enjoy
Thank you for listening!
Great overview and insight into your SV Awen!
Thanks so much Camron, and for following our journey.
Love the boat. Love that you don’t eat meat (vegan here!). Love the lifestyle. :). But you can totally use that grill to grill veggie kebabs and such. :) Hate for a beautiful grill to go to waste when grilled veggies are divine! Definitely subscribing and will check out you podcast too.
Um belo barco, parabéns
Beautiful boat guys. Definitely ticks all the boxes for me. It seems larger inside than many 50+ footers. Enjoy!
Great tour thank you
Thank you for watching!
@@SailingAWEN and for sale :)
Cute guys! Loved it 😘😘
You guys have been a great inspiration!
@@SailingAWEN aww that’s sweet, thank you! 😊😊
I enjoyed your video and subscribed...you have me dreaming of owning my own boat and traveling the seven seas!
Thank you for watching. Our boat is for sale if you are interested!
@@HRO101 Wow, and it is a very nice boat...just wish I was in a more favorable position, God Bless!
Your so lucky to have a big big boat house.in your life as couple.
Very nice.
Thank you Brett!
Thank you so much for sharing a tour of your amazing boat!
She's a real beauty and then the spaces...!
Thank you Tommy, we really appreciate your ongoing support!
I'm not into sailing, but this is a nice boat. Plenty of space for 48 ft. And the video itself... for the first time? Really? It's just like perfect 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing. And maybe we see each other once in the med.
Thank you so much for checking it out!
I didnt see the fountain anywhere?
Great video!!! Loved seeing your boat! Can you please share where you got the storage bins for all of your spare parts?? They look amazing! 😊
Hi Erin, we ordered them online from a website called Bruneau.fr as they had the best price at the time and could deliver the boxes to La Rochelle. We ordered 60 boxes of 9L (external dimensions: 395 x 255 x 155) and 6 boxes of 19L (external dimensions 395 x 255 x 290) for both forepeaks. The brand is 'Really Useful Box'.
Great video guys! Do you know let's dance sailing?
Beautiful boat ! Must of cost boatload
B-O-A-T Break Out Another Thousand
From La Rochelle to Montenegro for the winter? That was probably not 'going with the wind, but staying in the money' - but very understandable of course. ... We all don't like to spend unnecessary, and there is so much opportunity out there for a saving and still having good life for many.
Thanks for watching James and we definitely agree. The issue was our visas, we had to be out of Schengen and we were trying to get as close to Croatia as possible because that’s where we were planning to start the next season. Also, we wanted the boat out of the EU due to COVID should we not be able to come back to the boat the next season. We went home for the winter to see family. There is plenty to see in great places that are much more affordable, like Turkey, where we spent most of last season. It was so cheap, the marinas are nice and the people are amazing!
Yes, excellent tour! One question: where did you place the bike rack/locker?
It’s the white, covered mound over Stephane’s shoulder in the intro.
Great video tour, thank you both. You would think you were experts and been doing it for years! One question i had for your new boat. You talk about a performance boat that can carry 3 tonnes of gear. It would be great to understand what gear you’re including or excluding in that 3 tonnes. Such as genny out, washer dryer in, bikes out etc…or is everything you showed us here 3 tonnes. Thank you
All of the above... Light displacement is the base boat with its permanent equipment (mast, boom, engine(s)... ) so it doesn't include all your options like a generator, AC units, water maker, fuel, water, additional sails, number of crew + their personal stuff, food, tools, spare parts, dinghy, water toys... it's amazing the number of stuff you are tempted to add as a liveaboard cruiser but you really need to keep in mind the max loading capacity the boat was designed for if you want to maintain some performance.
Production tip: When exporting the video, put the audio on both tracks. It's trippy listening to it from one side.
I would love your advice. We set up portable mics so each of us had separate tracks. When I edited it, I heard the separate tracks from both sides but when I played it back, I didn’t unless I was on AirPods, strangely because on my editing headset I only heard one. What setting should I use when I export to get it all on one track for every listener?
Sorry, both tracks I meant.
Can you give some more details about your energy management? I wonder how often you have to run your generator being on anchor. How many Amps your are getting from the solar. Do you run the aircon from batteries? thanks a lot for this nice presentation of the boat. one can see you invested a lot of work to make her better. congrats.
Our solar has been awesome! We never worry about power at all. We don’t use it to power the AC, that only runs off the generator and we’ve only used it 4 times this season to cool the boat down for 30 minutes before bed.
Lovely yacht. I call it. "I don't eat blood" because noodles is not veg, but it's blood free.
Hello! Really enjoyed this video. Looks like your other videos are all short. Do you plan to start posting longer videos on a regular basis? If so, I'll subscribe! 🙂
Do you have the problem where the anchor chain piles up to the windlass and you got to scoop dow to level out the chains before operating the windlass again?
It has happened a few times in the past but in general we didn't have this problem. At the end of the first season I took the chain out to rinse it with fresh water and then organized about half of it neatly away from where it goes down under the windlass. I think it helped.
If I may ask, is your helm/cockpit enclosure the factory one, or is it a custom make?
Custom, it have clears and screens that attach at the same time so there’s no crazy swap when it suddenly rains
Just wondering how the boat sails, do you have a video on that.
I am quite interested in a similar boat but have read some bad reviews regarding sailing.
Also very new to this not quite a sailor yet but with a bit of luck within a year we hope to be on the water.
Thanks for tour of your boat.
Cheers
Bryan
We actually sold the boat to move to a performance catamaran. We enjoy the sailing especially in light wind. We will post a new series of videos on this starting this week!
@@SailingAWEN Thank you for quick reply. I think that answers my question. What did you buy instead? if you don't mind me asking
Outremer. Check out our latest video for all the details. 😎
Great boat! Does the sun shades inside the windows work ok? We are working out where to put ours.
Sunshades in or out seems to be a religious debate. We like ours inside so we can take them down underway without going on deck. Some people like them out bc they say it protects the windows but it also collects salt, which can scratch the windows too so…
@@SailingAWEN Thanks for taking the time to reply, that makes a lot of sense to me!
Merci pour cette vidéo et merci de nous faire découvrir votre maison flottante, question ..quel est votre modèle d'annexe ? , Merci
Salut Vincent, OC Tender 350 (made in New Zealand) with a Suzuki 15hp. On adore notre annexe: beaucoup de volume a l'intérieur, planne facilement, ne mouille pas, pas d'entretien nécessaire ...
What boat are you getting next once this one is sold
Hi Colin, we will reveal a bit more info on our Covert Castaway podcast next week. There are clues though in our two part series Comfort vs Performance posted a few weeks ago.
Dang
I'm 6'5"
Is there any hope for me??
Are these 8m Beam Cats too wide?
Our new Outremer 52 will be 7.89m. It's just one important dimension among many others when designing a catamaran. What's your concern about an 8m beam cat made for voyaging?
@@SailingAWEN If it is so wide, how can it sail in light winds?
8m seems to be a sweet spot for catamarans.
Are there smaller cats at 5-6m beam?
Seems like purely motor cats are thinner than the sailing ones?
@@chasx7062 Catamaran design for light air sailing is quite a bit more complex than just the beam dimension. You might find interesting the interview we did with the Outremer Head of Engineering: ua-cam.com/video/gDoZYIsY4iM/v-deo.html in our video 'What is a performance catamaran?'
Hi there, I heard about you from Nick O'Kelly. I let a message on your FB post :) We are starting our boat research and search and I would love to chat a bit with you about your boat. The FP47 sounds like a perfect boat :) If it is easier you can contact us through our YT channel as well. Thanks! Franny
