Man I have been watching you for a while and this journey just keeps getting better and better, congratulations on having the foresight to get out there after the hurricane and find you the dream boat you always wanted. You bought it and now it's yours that's awesome, keep moving forward.
This video was very emotional for us to watch. We are so so happy for you!!!! I'm picturing speed, comfortable anchoring and lots of deck space. You only get 4 or 5 great opportunities handed to you in your life and you took it, good job on this momentous decision.
Have been following you since the start. Was so happy when you met your girlfriend and she started with you. The videos got better and better. So much information and so much seeing the two of you growing together. I am disappointed that in this video however, you did not tell us how this all came about, how you discovered the catamaran and why the owner wanted to unload her. This is what makes it impressive more, is the history. We went from Trinidad and Tobago to a boat yard where the hurricane hit. If you do not want to share the story, then that is ok. Take your time on this boat and do it right. Get her ready first for going back in the water, and after you have her on anchor or mooring ball you can do cosmetic work slowly and the right way and save yard costs. Just do it right so she will last you both many years to come and you can finally leave the Caribbean and travel the world in more comfort and much more room and safer conditions. Much love from Switzerland.
A 2003 38' owner's version Maxim catamaran. They were built from 1999 to 2007 (bus closed) so this is right in the middle of production run. Corecell used in above water laminates so no wet balsa issues. 27 hp Yamars w saildrives. Reasonable headroom and good sailing performance. Only issue is some bridgedeck slamming going into choppy seas due to just avg clearance. Should be ok to sail around world and hope not too much damage, great that the mast and rigging is up. Should be little water damage as it was on hard. Good luck with the renovation.
The Maxim 380 probably isn't the world's best catamaran, but it's not the worst, either. They're fairly sturdy and are rather similar to the Wynns' Leopard 43, also South African-built. That bridgedeck slamming is something they, too, had problems with on passage from Tonga (if I remember rightly) to New Zealand. In fact the slamming in extreme weather left them with a big hole! No real threat to the boat, but certainly unsettling, I imagine.
Happy Life Huub, sometimes it is hard to seize an opportunity… people see opportunities every day and do not take advantage, you are the Man, this is going to be a great thing for you and Daniela🎉
We are so happy for you both, you really deserve it after all you went through with the cabin you built, the deck work and all the other crap you went through. And if anybody can do it, it’s you.
We have been watching for a long time and this news made us so proud of you. The new boat is gorgeous and a huge upgrade. You're going to love it. Congratulations guys!!
No wayyyyy dude! So happy for you, anything would be better than your current boat! This one looks way newer and nice. Once fixed properly, I am certain you won't run into constant issues like on ur current boat! You truly deserves it bro! Keep up the good work!
"I've been following your journey since you first started fixing up your boat to sail. It's been amazing to watch your progress, and I'm thrilled to see you with a bigger boat now. Congratulations!" So happy for you
Congratulations Huub and Daniela. Daniela habla mas en español ,habemos millones de personas que queremos oirte, lo estas haciendo muy bien. Un gran habrazo para ambos.
I follow you for so long But never commented, today I want to tell you that I am so happy you got this boat. Now with this new project you can struggle and make 2 videos a week. More income for the new project 😊👌
A new chapter opens on your journey. I'm happy to see, how well you two get along with each other. Next challenges will come, but together you will deal with it. Happy day and good luck!
Really cool Huub, you bought a pretty rough old sailboat years ago and had a few female companions that diddy last long and now you have met the perfect woman and have gotten yourselves a great new sailboat
*I'm so happy for you Huub…you finally got the girl and boat of your dreams!! All that hard work and heartbreak was a lot and you deserve all the best. Happy Birthday!* 💙🙏💙
Congratulations Huub and Daniela! We are so happy for you! That catamaran is awesome! If anyone deserves this kind of break, you do! Now Daniela and you can set sail for Maastricht!
Wishing you both all the very best with your new boat . Huub the day you met Daniela was the luckiest day of your life, she is such a beautiful, young, genuine woman . Be kind to each other always, you got this 😊
now i don't have to worry about your boat randomly tacoing on you guys from those deck repairs on the old lemonada that didn't look like they had enough overlapping fiberglass. will be an interesting build. (i like rebuilding videos more then sailing ones)
If anyone deserves this upgrade you do I have not been getting your videos lately but just found you again love your videos you are so hard word working hope all your dreams come true good luck for future you so deserve it
what a dream boat! gorgeous in and out! I cannot wait to see you two customize both, I hope for a name that you choose together, and omg what a space on the inside! I see this being a reliable home adventure companion for many years to come!
Exciting, scary, awesome opportunity. Buying your first home together :) New journey ahead. Remember to put each other first in the work ahead. The stress of 'construction' can be overwhelming at times. You're both so good together...remember you make it that way. Happy birthday Huub. Can't wait to see the future for you both.
Did not think this would be possible within one month. This is a life-changing moment & you're in the right place at the right time. Congrats on the huge level-up!
What a crazy situation! The power in those winds! And so sad to see that warzone of damaged boats. I wish you all the very best for your next steps and adventures! Go for it! ❤
I'm glad that you're at least giving the world a 10 year window of opportunity in order to show us if there is life beyond catamarans... Fair winds, brother ⛵️
Let the itching, I mean refit begin! Super stoked for you both - every episode you prove what is possible with a positive attitude and graciously accepting what life offers you. Hope the structural stuff is minimal and you get to sail off on your new boat soon 🤞
Congratulations Huub and Daniela! I really enjoy your videos each week and now I'm even more excited. Good luck with the repairs and can't wait to watch you sail it!
I’ve been following you since you were in Spain, building your house on your own. I’m so happy to see you have gotten a catamaran! Even though it needs work, it’s nothing you can’t fix! Congratulations!!
Happy birthday Huub. I am excited for you both on this new opportunity. I am sure it will be nice to have a bigger boat that will hopefully be able to take you farther, more safely and in a bit more comfort. Your journeys are often fun. Good luck on the purchase and transfer to Luminata II.
Very excited for both of you. It was nice to see you start making it your home. Time to have plan that will get you off the hard and where you can complete those tasks that do not require you be on land. I’m sure you will do a great repair job. Best wishes.
Wow, great news Hub and Daniela! May there be less repairs than expected, and may you make this catamaran your beloved new home quickly! Looking forward what you will do, all the best from Sweden!
Wow, that's awesome. Congratulations on your new boat. I look forward to seeing your dreams all come together. Keep up the good work 💪. SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍🏿
Congrats Hub & Daniela, I am glad you were able to seize an opportunity to buy the boat. I did the same thing when I bought my HF ham radio. 73 old boys. 73 is ham radio talk.
Que nota parce ! Me alegra por el parcero yo lo veo a el desde que estava haciendo una casa por alla metido en el monte con un perro 😂, y luego cuando compro el bote y Ahora verlo en esta nota con una paisana! que vacano! Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to this new chapter in such a beautiful boat!
🎉😊 Terrific news! I'm happy for you! I remember a while back talking about maybe one day to work towards a Catamaran sailboat, but this happened quick! So good the fuel cell didn't take her out. One day soon you'll be doing 9 and 10 knots, "No problem"!! 👍👍
Well done Huub and Daniela. What an unbelievable find. We are really looking forward to your refit videos. You will be living in the lap of luxury. So excited for you both.
This boat.. yes there is much work, but really, it's in fairly good shape compared to some,, There, are no giant holes and water damage that I can see ... maybe one good season of repairs and then the world is yours to visit.. I'm very happy for you. Best wishes and........ Cheers
Wow, what a courageous decision! Congratulations for this beautiful boat ! If there are no structural damages, this is probably one of the best purchases of your life. All the rest is only a matter of efforts and smart work....!
Good luck with your purchase. We can see the Dream in your eyes. Just remember to move her to a safe place before the next hurricane. Aruba is less than 500 nautical miles away and not on the path of hurricanes.
I'm so happy for you Huub and Daniela! Limonada II is amazing! What a big difference in the quality of your lives. I am sad about the devestation there, but glad you both are happy and healthy. Big Hugs. Sun Noble.❤
Congrat's on the new boat!!! It will be a lot of work but the rewards from it will make it so much better!!!! Can't wait to see the upcoming projects you have..
Today is my (Huub's) birthday! What a beautiful and perfect day for the very first video of this exciting project!
🥳
🎉 Happy birthday!
Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY! At last a head door 🤣. Can't wait to find out more about this catamaran! Wish you two best of times.
