Welcome back to Trimaran Life. Last time we embarked on a voyage down the coast of South Carolina, aboard our friend's 47ft NEEL Trimaran. But, as with all seafaring voyages, we encountered our fair share of challenges and discovered more than a few issues with the boat.
Some of you were left wondering why this sleek and shiny new vessel seemed to be plagued with so many problems. But, as seasoned sailors know all too well, no boat is immune to the harsh realities of life at sea.
But fear not, we are not ones to shy away from a challenge! Today, we are joining forces with the owners of the Trimaran, Katy and Craig, as we set out to tackle some of these issues. But, as with any boat project, things are bound to go awry, and not everything goes according to plan.
Plus, we'll also dive into the reasons behind their move from their Nautitech 40 Catamaran to the NEEL 47 and whether they miss anything about their old boat.
So, gather your tools, roll up your sleeves and join us for some problem-solving. It's time to get this Trimaran shipshape again!

WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of modern-day documentarians, perpetual travelers, and seekers of tall tales.
We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. Self-reliance and living a sustainable lifestyle are a must. It's all about managing our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.
We've lived off the grid for over 10 years now in everything from a Van to RV to a Sailboat. And over time we have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water, and managing our waste.
Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

I find the whole sailing culture is fascinating to me. When I can get past what it takes to finance this life, I admire how positive the whole vibe around sailing is even with all the challenges. Thanks for the videos. Peace to you and owners.
16:30 If it's a hard plastic piece just use a soldering iron on the brass insert nut. Just heat it up with the iron tip while pushing it in. The surrounding plastic should melt when you push the hot nut in and grabs it when it cools down . This is what people use on 3d printed parts when they need to constantly open up a project without risking the chance of the plastic striping out or cracking . They also sell a special soldering iron tip that's meant to heat the insert nut more evenly and faster but it's unnecessary unless you're doing a lot of these at a time and want to save some time . CNC Kitchen made a video about this if you need to check it out .
Omg Katie looks like come from 007 movies.
Oh I love Katies Scottish accent!
She is a doll! We love them both to bits.
There’s always room for another sailing channel, especially a trimaran driven one! Do it, Katy and Craig! Cheers 🍻
Thanks for the extra 💙💛💙!
We agree! Katy and Craig would be a fun addition to the lineup. But at least they share on Instagram so we can see what they are up to.
Why didn’t you just swap ends on the Allen wrench so you could leave it in the screw as you tightened up the screw?
Really good vid, very much enjoy all the boat projects. When you repaired the hatch, that threaded insert is designed to be inserted under heat, use a soldering iron and push the tip into the thread then push it in with little force. The plastic melts around it and hardens making good mechanical contact with the knarled edges. They are used a lot in 3D printing projects. Hope this helps.
Great tip, thanks!!!
What great advice. I’m amazed at the help and advice that the UA-cam audience bring to creators. Glad I scanned the comments. Thanks!
Check on mcmaster. They have the hest set inserts with a Hering bone pattern that won't pull out that easy
The knurled brass/threaded insert gets pulled out of the knob by over-tightening the knob. Just snug it down enough to make it seal.
Crazy glueing the insert would be a temporary fix.
"We're in the US so it's easy to get them replaced" ah yes, the real reason to travel to the US...not to see national parks or Disney World, but to get spare parts 🤣. The ship horn censor at 2:59 is chef's kiss. Sure you ran into problems, but that doesn't change the fact this is still a neat piece of engineering. Yoshimi as in Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips? GREAT NAME for a dog!! Yoshimi is so adorable! Wish I could put my arm through the screen to pet her!
LOVE St. Augustine and all its cool history. I mean it says a lot when it was founded in 1565 and is still thriving today! The place may be touristy, but it wasn't always like this. For quite some time in the 1880s, the city was actually neglected until railroad tycoon Henry Flagler came in to build the city up. He built a large number of opulent hotels and promoted the town as a winter resort for the elite of the north to escape the cold. So St. Augustine used to be a railway destination! Atlantic City and Coney Island also became popular seaside places because of trains!
Love the Taping of the Screws idea. Another pro-tip. If you have a device with a lot of ports to plug things into, but only a few are being used, and you have to move or replace the device. Put a piece of tape over all the unused ports. Back when PCs had a variety of ports beyond just USB, I’d tell people this trick when they needed to relocate a PC. Made plugging it back together much easier, assuming you’re not an expert on what all the cables are for.
It’s Sunday morning! If you’re not watching the Wynns then what else could you possibly be doing.😊⛵️
Getting laid!
✋
The two of you have magically created a format that is of great interest to anyone with an interest in travel...especially marine travels. Your tag line "gone with the wynns" is fitting and easy recall. You are blessed with the perfect chemistry, sparky attitude and pleasing results. Don`t burn out...save time for your enjoyment. You have obviously become successful at what you are doing. Thanks for adding so much to the lives of your viewers.
I love this! Y'all have the best community.
That was pretty awesome guys. Love the boat. Cute couple hope they do start a blog. Love their accents.
I feel like the "easy Wynn" joke in there is just too, well, easy. That being said, I did get a little giggle out of it every time, so thanks🤭
Hang on just a hot minute there! In the short clip of Supernova riding out the hurricane, was that a freaking SUBMARINE at 8:45 into the episode?
Annnnnd we're back. Yessssss! Rainy cold day in the southeast USA. I needed this!! Hey Guys from Charlotte NC
You guys crack me up. A phallis in the hole, hysterical. Keep the videos coming, I love your channel.
St. Augustine fun facts: St. Augustine's location was chosen by the Spanish due to it being easy to defend as well as having easily accessible freshwater. St. Augustine is not only the oldest continuously occupied city in the US, but it also has the narrowest street in the country! Treasury Street is only 7 feet wide! It connects the Royal Spanish Treasury to where the ships dock on the bay. This street was actually made to be narrow on purpose so thieves would find it too difficult to remove and escape with chests of gold from the treasury.
The city's fort has had THREE different names as well rather than sticking to one. Castillo de San Marcos (by the Spanish), Fort St. Mark (by the British), and Fort Marion (by Americans).Congress restored the fort's original name in 1942.
Very nice video😊⛵
Katie's modifications on the Neal are brilliant!
MN here, thanks for the shout out! Confirmed, it is way colder than St. Augustine. Thanks for the episode. Makes me want to sail right now!
love this video, I learned alot
Just finished up watching all of your videos. Wow what a ride you guys have had. Looking forward to your new adventures with your HH44. Stay safe.
Me too! Started in the RV stage. Great talented couple.
Love hearing the authentic accent of my homeland.
True of any home. Boat, land, or in the road homes never run out of things to repair. 💝🙏💝 prayers for you and your family and friends, your new home soon!
What an epic experience. Good on you.
thanks, really getting a good picture of life on a sailboat :)
So excited that you are on a Neel doing this series. I have been dying to hear about the tri from experienced sailors. So good to hear this couple’s enthusiasm about the boat. The new 52 may just convince my Sylvia to give a thumbs up to the circumnavigation retirement project !
Don't buy Neel please research the horror stories of Neel,s shockingly bad build quality!!!
I second that comment, don’t even think of buying a Neel, they are garbage! Worst build nightmare stories of any builder!
If you're interested in Neel trimarans and what experienced sailors think of them, you should check out a UA-cam channel called "Carry On Sailing." The channel features a Neel 51 and the owner talks about pretty much all aspects of the vessel, taking it into really heavy seas, etc. Another channel is called "Sail Oceans," and features the first prototype Neel trimaran and the family who own and sail her. They've done just about everything imaginable with that boat, and are currently refitting it (in Poland, I think) to do it all again.
A lot of people like to bash Neel for the quality problems they had early on (they're still a relatively young company), but Neel addressed those issues head on, made them right, and improved the following designs to make their boats even better. By comparison, people don't seem to talk about the thousands of people who've suffered catastrophic bulkhead failure on Lagoon catamarans (which have been around a lot longer than Neel). Doing your own due diligence prior to a purchase of this magnitude is a foregone conclusion. Just don't be swayed by people who like to talk trash without actually owning a boat of any kind.
The Neel 51 has been kind of the sweet spot, design wise, for me, so it'll be interesting to see what the 52 brings to the table. So far, the pre-release pics look a lot like the 51, but will have to wait and see. Launching in September 2023, I think.
@@meadmaker4525 Hi Meadmaker. Thanks so much for your counter point. I was wondering about the bad rap that Neel was getting given how young they are and the completely unique design they are pioneering. There was also a 5 part series by Captain Igor who delivered a 51 across the Atlantic and had vey positive things to say. The new design will appeal mor to my Sylvia with it’s dressing room, larger head and better storage in the ama below the owner’s cabin. I also like the fly lounge. In the end I just love the look of this vessel. It’s a purely emotional reaction…but isn’t that half of sailing. Lol. Thanks for watching and especially for commenting!!
@@sailingkelpie Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to send this!! I had watched Igor’s 5 part series on crossing the Atlantic in a 51. He is a very experienced captain and had very positive things to say about the boat in general and particularly about its behaviours in heavy seas.
I get the mechanical space love, but my beloved dose not care, and if momma ain’t happy, Dave is going nowhere. The dressing room and bigger head are all that counts. Lol!! I so appreciate your note. Thanks again! Let’s stay in touch.
Jason and his phallic diesel bit! xD love Jason!
ANOTHER GOOD VIDEO TROOPS, GREAT TO SEE COUPLE OF FELLOW SCOTS, &NOT TO FORGET YOSHY,, RESPECT ML3,SCOT
Watching from the parking lot of Palisades ski area. Eating lunch after 8 miles of slopes this morning. Fantastic packed powder. Cheers from Northern California!!!
Can't wait for you to get you next boat!
What a lovely couple! And the dog was AWESOME! /Catta
I love the little gas pump. We use ours to refill the generator when PG&E is out. Love it. We were so happy to see it on your show. Just keep AA batteries in stock.
Cheers 🙂
ha ha I laughed so much this episode. Love the double entendres you guys nail it
Just watchung him using the allen key/hex key to tighten the screw on the hatch, if you use the long end to run it up, then the short end to tighten it, you will find it a bit easier and much quicker.
That was fun!!! You guys have such a great energy that I really enjoy it seeing you connect and interact with others. World class! Xx
So excited to see more of Yoshi!!
Awesome guys doing chores loved it so interesting 💕🙏🤠🐨🦎🦘
Loved !!!
I'll keep this simple and respectful. The owner of the boat "Craig? Is a very, very lucky fellow. Honestly the other guy Jason?" Also very lucky. Great boat and cool video!
Yeah, definitely agree
Yoshi 🐕🦺 is so cute 🥰. Thanks guys for a great video. I love every minute of your video. Especially yoshi giving Jason a lovely kiss. Thanks Nikki and Jason. 👍🥰💚
Loved this!! Yoshi is adorable- awesome boat- awesome owners and awesome you guys❤
love all the ama's in this video. cool boat.
It’s funny that the people you meet sailing seem like my kind of people. Friendly, nice, well spoken and then they go away. I have a hard time with friendships. I prefer a lot of personal space. Getting together for a bit and then parting ways for a period fits me. My fiancée would take a road trip into hell with me, she is so committed to me. So then it’s became my personal mission to make sure the path I take is as smooth as possible because I don’t want her to ever question following me. I had dreams of sailing and now I’m not sure that’s a great idea for us. So I want to thank you so much for giving me a first hand look at the adventures I won’t experience. The repairs on the boats do not scare me since I’m very handy with tools. The sea does not scare me (for the most part) since I have many days and weeks commercial fishing on the Pacific Ocean, along with living for 50 years on the Oregon coast. I literally grew up where people come to vacation. Please keep sharing your adventures with us❤
In watching the latest Nautguys post I have a suggestion. I think you need to choose the place to sail to as the closest spot from where you take delivery of your boat to being outside the typhoon area. That means Borneo. From there you can either explore Borneo or move further into Indonesia. If you sail around the north end of Borneo you have a different set of options than if you sail down the Malaysia/Brunei side which would be the safer route..
Completely love it ♡♡♡♡
Loved your sit down on Nautiguys and looking forward to part 2.
SHIP SHAPE is an impossible phrase......love your videos. John
Love the shorts....and the episode...
Sunday morning coffee and cinnamon oatmeal with the Wynns, watching them experience #TrimaranLife... can it get any better?
Also:
"You take this phallic looking thingy..."
"And you put it in the hole?"
"...Yeah. And you screw it.... naturally..." *Jason loses it* 🤣🤣🤣
The usual Sunday funday video! Thanks for bringing us along. Lots of great places to visit on St. George Street. Hopefully you got to go to the St. Augustine Distillery! Be safe. See you both next week!
These two guys are winning. Holy smokes.
Neel's are a lot of boat (like huge) for the price. That generally means quality suffers, whether its fit and finish or hardware. Neels wants to sell you the huge living space, that it sails well, and is reasonably in price. The saying goes that's three points of a triangle, you only get two. Most pick price and huge living space.
Wouldn't touch one with a bargepole..."proper" tri = Rapido. Or Dragonfly but they stop at 40'.
Lol 😂 I am in Minnesota and was thinking exactly that - you’re in shorts, it’s not cold. 😉 I’m just envious. ❤️
You guys have got the cutest dog ever!
Terrific video's you share, have been following you since the RV's. I now live in saint augustine and kayak in the same area and
under the bridge you are moored near. S.A. is a great place to visit and walk the downtown area, have a great meal at a nice
restaurant, etcetera. Enjoy your trip!, rachel
Great owners great vessel.... Great Winn's!!!
I seriously enjoyed this episode so much as I have this whole journey of getting to your New Vessel!
Thanks for sharing your lives with us!! ✌🏼💗😊⛵
*Wynns and no apostrophe.
@@teeanahera8949 Yeah I Kno that dear...! In this episode Jason needed a winn so that's why it's spelled this way!! It's called a play on words...! 🤣😂✌🏼💗⛵
Nice boat, cute couple and great boat dog. We are lucky to also have a great boat dog (Sniff) and cat (Scratch) on board. Our cat hasn't left the boat except for vet visits in 2 years, but seems content to find a warm place to nap (he's 13 years old.)
We noticed the bed was against the boat sides, meaning the person sleeping on the inside has to climb over the other person or shimmy to the end to get out of bed. That's how our Pullman berth is on a 38'er. As we get older we tend to get up in the middle of the night more often and it becomes more strenuous over time. It is not an issue for the younger couple now. But, they were talking about another boat in 5 to 10 years, so they might want to consider a walk around bed on the next one. I'm guessing that trimaran cost roughly 100X what we paid for our Islander. The bed issue would have been a solid "no go" for us, as if we would ever have a choice.
Wishing you safe passages and fabulous adventures.
Been here.... The old bridge was here then. Lion were bookends as you passed thru the bridge. Been up and down the ICWW Washington DC to Virgin Islands... Now in GUAM
Your right. I’m in Minnesota.
What a super nice couple. ❤
24:30 “A NYC Apartment” on the water. Champagne sailing, At it’s best!
Nice. Loved the casual reporte with your Hosts, getting 'er Done, facilitating repairs together! Cool team wor k. The sweet Dog is an excellent addition, he is so in tune! That gas pump was awesome, I love that it did not waste a drop of Fuelit was so efficient; saved you from standing on your head to decant it into the onboard Tank! Cool Beans for sure, a classy addition to a boring chore. The backdrop of the St. Augustine Bridge made me want to drive up and find you! So close to me; I realize you are no longer there. Another Superb Video Sailing 101- Repairs! Love the Vista from the Master Suite, I can just imagine how amazing that is daily! Thank you for sharing this Sunday Morning escape for us landlubbers.
That diesel filler is genius. And the filler location on the Neel absolutely sucks. I can't imagine filling up with jerrucans without that genius contraption.
Are you aware that they make Allen drill bits that fit on your drill? All sizes of course. Life changer!!!!
Plus, it would be smarter to insert the straight end and turn with the 90° end. It appeared long enough to clear obstructions. KISS, always.
Very well done
They had a smart broker
Currently sitting next to this boat in the Bahamas 😏
I fell in love with a dog on this episode (during the commercial part when it's head was on the counter).
Awesome video.
First time seeing eight trimaran owner enjoying a long gown and fluffy slippers and designer dog!
Hello from Minnesota!
Thankyou 👍
So I am watching and I hear the Scottish Accent...Love love love the Scottish people.. Great friends..
I can't believe you use a screwdriver to loosen a tight knot and don't have a Victorinox Skipper in your pocket with its wonderful spike. 😂😂😂
I love the pupper! What kind is he? A doodle? Love your videos:)
I think you’re kidding but I believe the singular is pronounced aahmah and plural is aahmaz. I think the term originates from the multihull designs found in the South Pacific. Always fun watching.
Don't worry about us in Minnesota. It's 19 degrees Fahrenheit today, so it's pleasant!
Win for The Wynns
Wynns - Good vid, as usual. I can't wait until you actually take yours.
The "Calvary" has arrived? Cavalry! Thanks for the vid!
"Plumbers Goop" Seals everything. I adjust the end with the most room to move
Yep.
I am wearing more clothes inside my house then you are wearing on the boat!
Wish I Knew y'all were in St.Augustine!!
the problem with that winch binding and current solution is you have to thread the rope through a closed guide, maybe a hard point C type guide will work better as once locked off and tension release you could just move to next needed rope without pulling the length of rope out of the guide.
Love this couple!!! And seeing the boat this way. And the puppy 😍😍😍🐕❤️
Isn't it great that the owners can rest easy knowing their pup is in good hands?
One little tip of my own, if people do not have that fancy tool yet on their boat: The siphon principle can be used just as successfully in reverse, by blowing into the tank, that you want empty. You need to make the hole airtight, for instance by wrapping a wet cloth around the tube and the neck of the petrol can or tank. I learned that by watching another UA-camr, by the way. All, who has ever tasted gasoline or even worse diesel trying to start the siphon principle by suction, can see the value on that idea. Thanks for doing this one on boat problems, without making it a slander piece against Neel. I feel, that Neel is hugely underrated as it is, thanks to some catamaran review channels in the past, who talked very negative about Neel in their reviews. Neel is absolutely on my top list of boats, if I won the lottery, only shared most likely with Windelo 54 really.
AG1 is great!! I add my protein, collagen, and mushroom powders to it. Super great taste.
Adding the diesel went perfectly! Except that was the water intake. 8^D
Hey you guys are coming to China to pick up the boat, I hope that you are going to come a little early, I would love to see if I can make it there to say a quick hello, been watching your videos for some time now and love following what you are doing and how you got into this. I am planning to follow what you are doing myself but need a save up a bit before I can set myself free to travel
Just a little food for thought even in Minnesota. We do have summers it does get hot up here.
Thanks for keeping us updated and meeting the owners glad to see no one upset.
Those brass inserts are called "heat inserts" in the 3D printer space we use a solder iron to insert them you may gain the adhesion needed by resetting with a solder iron
Yeah, but you don't use them anywhere that might have tension as eventually they will pull out. What it should have been is a barrel nut that can't pull through. Poor design.
@@SailingAquamarine Yeah correct but as you know we can't fix stupid only live with it until that new design comes forward
@@mrbilky To be fair, I was expecting this to be a £1m boat and it is 'only' £500k and there are lots of things to like about it (Except of course I prefer monohulls for actual sailing!) But Sailing Ruby Rose had an interesting review on it which seems to be reflected in the Wynns experience, and that is build quality... It very lightweight, but that is because of the cheap fittings and lack of 'proper' engineering... e.g. you don't screw a charge controller straight to a fibreglass bulkhead, you have a mounting panel that absorbs vibration and allows you to route cables, you use really good quality (e.g. Harken) fittings on your mainsail... These things cost money and weigh more!
The dry push will probably fail, i don't think just heating it with a soldering iron will guarantee it either, I think i would try a hose clamp to compress the outer plastic when applying heat, or just leave the hose clamp on, that two have failed says this is an issue, so i would also be contacting the hatch manufacturer.
@@AM-jw1lo If you had no choice but to repair the hatch (rather then replace the cheap mounting they have used for the strut) the only real repair would be to drill and countersink it from the outside, then replace the threaded part by pushing a barrel nut in from the top, gluing the flange. That would give a permanent fix... Until the cheap plastic degrades in the sunlight and falls to bits!
Thanks!
Thank *you* for being a part of the crew!
Next time use a soldering iron to melt that threaded insert into the plastic base.
Nice video as always. Could you tell us where the battery installed on the OC Tender and what size the Honda engine is? By the way, do you still like the OC Tender?
I like your videos. My brother has a catamaran. Very interested in your daily problems.
15:14 PAH PAH PUSH IT REAL GOOD! ;)
Lovely nikki looking great.miles to go before I sleep
This video demonstrates how there are always compromises in some small part or thing in place of something superior even on a boat seemingly where no expense was spared. There is even room for gadgets like an electronic battery operated device to assist in adding a spot of fuel.
There's no wonder you Wynns are some of the top UA-camrs. Always such great attitude and willing to share your knowledge. I boarded the Neel at the Annapolis show and was enamored with it,,, I'm glad to get a closer look. It really says a lot about you that the owners hand over their new boat to you!
