- What unique challenges do we face while attempting to live and sail full time on our 30 foot sailboat? In this episode we answer this question and more as we explain the off grid systems and components of our Allied Seawind 30 sailboat. We dive into sun and heat protection, fresh water storage, rain collection, showering, food storage, cooking, and our galley setup, our wind and solar array as well as our diesel engine, and finally how we stay connected while off grid.

Are you guys thinking of upgrading the boat to a larger one anytime in the near future?
Amazing videoS all the time..
Hey, tell people how they/we can simply donate via paypal. I didn't understand about the patreon subsctiptions (I had mentioned that a while back). I was just on the project atticus page and found that I could simply do a straight and simple donation. So, sent you $25. Keep safe and know that most of us are completely baffled that any one could give any of your videos a thumbs down. . .
Out of all the sailing tubes you guys are the best, you showed how it can be done by anyone. Totally awesome!
@@CanadaCa-ib9us hey! great question! we go over this a lot in our live streams. check them out here: Live Streams & Cruising Tips: ua-cam.com/play/PLOdfI7CmkSxguXsixBzcBAq_Fh4nUOP_6.html or join us for a live stream this coming Wednesday at 6:30 PM ET 😁⛵
@@harveyfloyd6045 thanks so much for your generous donation!! we'll mention it in an upcoming episode! thanks for the feedback! and thanks for your support!!
Honestly you guys seem more genuine then the other sailing channels with their million dollar yachts.
Totally true. Wind Hippi sailing is cool too
I was thinking the same thing...great job guys!
Absolutely! Love how genuine they are!! New sub and like given 🙂
truth that bro
What do y'all think about the channel "Sailing La-Vagabond"?
In terms of explaining the logistics of living on a small boat, this is the best video I have EVER seen. Thank you for an awesome presentation.
🤗 thank you David! glad you enjoyed this one!
These kids are real! Go Atticus!
I agree!!
I have to agree. I love this kind of sailing content and it was one of the most enjoyable videos of it's kind! Keep it up guys, and thank you!
Agreed
I am a yachtsman and I have a very good idea of how difficult it is to achieve an acceptable level of comfort on a small yacht. Guys, you have perfectly solved the everyday issues of the heterosexual crew. Bold like and subscription!
FINALLY!!!! A REALISTIC sailing/adventure couple who seem to TRULY live off-grid not relying on rich parents, trust funds or the previous 7 figures they earned in high paying jobs. The ONLY sailing channel that I shall live vicariously through from now on.
To be fair, some of those couples now make decent money by producing videos on youtube. Also, who cares where peoples money comes from?
"the perfect is the enemy of the good". Very wise words to live by.
You guys are really blessed to have found someone with the same mindset as you. With the crazy things that's going on right now I wish I had someone I loved and could sail away from the insanity that's happening in the US right now,😞
You need to follow the passion yourself, then if your not looking and concentrated you might find someone
"The perfect is the enemy of the good." I love this quote!
Well said!
Of all the UA-cam sailing videos we’ve watched, this one is with question the best. It is informative. It is honest. It is useful. You’ve done an amazing job finding harmony. Well done.
Thank you both for giving me a full half hour of time in which I was able to remember that a world without coronavirus even existed... because it wasn’t mentioned once in this entire video!
I personally think sailing a small sailboat gets you excepted into local culture much easier (you obviously have to stretch ever dollar (small inexpensive yacht)) as apposed to a large (expensive (they have plenty of money) yacht). Also the fact that you learn your true impact on the environment you love to be in, (a city person will seldom think of how much water they use to wash). I love the satisfaction this gives. Enjoy your lives, and remember, everyone gets to die, but only some get to truly live. Blue sky’s.
Being a poor boy myself I appreciated the fact that you're living a dream and working at the same time. To your continued success!
Trust me ,they have a lot of money invested in that boat....
@@larryfranklin8903 i think so
This was great. Probably one of the best "explainer" videos of the logistics involved with living on a sailboat. I know there could have been so much more, but I appreciate the direction and effort you guys give to make quality content for us. Thank you.
@@larryfranklin8903 not so much bro! With 150k you can get such boat
This is a great video! I have watched it several times and it is so entertaining. You guys do a great job explaining in detail your little boats features as well as all your hacks learned while living at sea. You really have made the most of what you have. Kudos to Atticus and her crew.
I think Lin/Larry Pardy said it best. Go simple, go small, go now...
These days it's so hard to find someone who truly respects and loves you. You are lucky to have each other. I think that is the key. I wish You all the best in future.
I was thinking the same thing. It's also rare that you find somebody who's skills and efforts compliment your life to make things better and to move you towards your goals.
100% nowadays it a relationship of convenience....
When I was a teenager I was very into the sailboats and the lifestyle that you show in your video. I miss that feeling and enjoy watching your adventures and how accurate you show the real boaters experience. Enjoy your life.
The smartest sailing couple I've seen so far. 30 feet of adventure and happiness.
What respectable people ... show that whoever has character and goodness of soul has what he loves and enough ...! We have to help them in that excitingly sustainable life ...!
I enjoyed listening to the both of you, its like i'm in a classroom learning about the boat and marine life.
You guys are great. Desire I love your little laugh. Nervous laugh? It's adorable. Never change it. Both of you have great personalitys.
I'm using this boat as inspiration. You guy's have tackled so many things that I hadn't thought to consider. Beautiful boat, thanks for uploading your knowledge
Thank you. Bring back memories for me. I sailed 14 years round the world on a 31 foot build in 1941. Was a steel boat. You have much more then I had onboard. Just don’t make the mistake I did and thought I have been round and sell.
Wow...speechless! All of my life I wanted to do what you did......14 years.....amazing! Reading posts like yours give me strength....muchas gracias
When I first started watching, I was thinking what the heck!? I’ve been following since the beginning. There’s nothing new, no great adventures. Then I realized, this is the perfect video to share with someone who might not have a clue about the features of a sailboat or the compromises of living aboard. Thanks for that.
Unbelievable how far you guys have come over the years. I remember your first episode and your first sail after the boat was ready... the quality of the videos and the confidence that you both have now comes through and it's been an enjoyable ride watching your progression.
Learned a lot- especially how much more you can do with so less. To quote "you definitely feel alive". Loved it
Excited to see y’all out on the water again. This is such an amazing video. You guys make it happen with what you have. Y’all are fully aware that it’s not the stuff and things that matter. It’s the adventure. Y’all are so inspiring.
What a beautifully enjoyable, considered, and organised video. Totally clear. You really are exemplary sailors!
That ending with the pre-recorded message playing while you jogged down the dock, pushed her off the swing and jumped in after was FREAKIN AWESUM!!!!! Icing on the cake of a well done video!!!
20:05 If you wanna save electricity you can use a DC-DC laptop charger made for cars.
They're way more efficient than converting your 12VDC to 110AC and then back to whatever your laptop needs.
The Topland M4315 does a good job and comes with an adapter for just about any laptop out there.
Wonderful show. You totally describe the overview of life on a small sailing vessel. Thanks
This may be my favorite video from you yet. Answered a lot of the basic questions I had about the Seawind setup. I’ve been looking at them for some time, one day soon the time will be right, and you’ve both been inspirational. Thank you.
I've been watching alot of sailing videos lately but this is by far the one that has struck me deepest in terms of inciting an actual feeling of doability.
The warmth and passion you both show towards your life and struggles on the boat made me smile.
I hope that I some day can find the courage to make the leap that clearly have made your life fuller, stay safe and happy sails!
Most informative video I've found so far about living off-grid on a boat. Thank you so much. Keep living your dream!
GREAT video! You've learned the difference between "need" and "want" - that's key.
Love that shot in the intro where Atticus is set wing to wing. Always puts an old Springsteen song in my head. Thanks for the excellent tour!
You guys just became my new heroes. What a wonderful life! Thank you so much for taking the time and explaining everything. Liked and subscribed. Much love and respect from Turkey.
Really enjoyed this video, well done, the two of you explain clearly what it takes to sail and live on a fairly "basic boat". In one word, it has to be "commitment", not only to the idea but to each other. l have watched many of your videos, but this one l found to be special. Thank you for sharing, fair winds and safe travels.
I really did enjoy this episode. In fact, I have enjoyed all of your episodes. You two are so down to earth and genuine in providing insights into you experiences while sailing. You are just lovely people and I admire what you are and what you do. Best wishes for continued adventures.
Self reliance explained perfectly. Live, love work and play all in balance!
Been watching several of your videos the last day or two. Love the content. It's inspirational and authentic at the same time. You guys seem like a great couple and great people. Thanks for sharing your experiences and best of luck in your journeys!
Really wonderful video and great insight and inspiration into how to keep cruising as affordable, uncomplicated and low impact on resources as possible. Thanks for your brilliant ideas for keeping things simple which we can apply to our small 24 foot cruising catamaran here in lock down UK! Look forward to more having just discovered you great people. Take care
I've had this dream since 1972. but kept putting barriers in my way. First it was alcohol. Then I married a wonderful woman with two wonderful kids and gave up alcohol. By the time they grew up it was time to take care of "the elders". By the time they had passed away, we were 70ish and my wife now has stage 4 ovarian cancer. This is a cautionary tale to any body listening. P.S. Don't feel sorry for me for I have had a good life and still have time to sail a bit Remember, "Carpe Diem".
thanks for sharing your story with us. Your wife and kids are lucky to have you looking after them. family is something we miss a lot while off grid. thanks for watching!
A very noble man sir. Hope you can still live out your dreams to voyage to places you desired. Blessings from 🇬🇧
Seems you have a wonderful life, taking care your wife and kids, also the chance to take care the elders is a very honorable responsibilities, am sure you'll have even more fruitful life ahead...
Even at 48 this comment resonates with me so much. The things we most often regret in life are the things not done, or the things we waited too long before we did them.
🙏🙏
You 2 make a great couple! These are the moments you 2 can reflect back on when yous are old and wrinkly, rocking on that chair!
God bless you both and stay safe!
Seen this half dozen times and love coming back to this particular video. Kinda ideal for beginners who don't have alot of money, but have seafaring dreams
This was so sincere, genuine and yet informative. Awesome.
I just found and fell in love with you two. I am a child of the desert and can say that you inspire me. Thank you for loving, being honest, and then generously sharing your bounty with us. We love you and pray for you! -dm
I like how candid and honest this video is. Much respect for following your passion. GL HF.
the more i watch other sailing videos, the more i am convinced you are actually the best per square foot of vessel, you are very systematic, organized and a lot more exciting , i love how you make your boat better and more solid, you are a joy to watch.
Thanks for your posts, they're great! I love the decisions you've both made in order to enjoy the lifestyle. You're lucky to have each other!
Very good story telling. Well done.
lol nice
and now, they are looking for or already on, Atticus II!
w00t!
@@drx1xym154 eh? your comment is as confusing as your name. speak simple sense!
I like your style! My wife and I live on the coast in Maine out of a 30' camper and we have grown to live simple so to speak. Take care an stay safe❤
I love being on, in and underwater!
You guys are probably at the best place to be - especially these Days. Happy sails!
Absolutely wonderful! Good for you two. Live your life to the fullest and enjoy what you are doing. I truly enjoyed the video and look forward to more in the future. Stay safe and healthy.
Hi I've been watching your guys for a year now it's like I'm traveling around the world be safe and God bless
thanks for sticking with us!! 😁⛵
It just made me happy to see you guys enjoying yourselves of what you've got. Gbu👍
I love you guys and you inspire me to keep going (after a few disastrous attempts) to reach my dream of living aboard full time. Thank you for your excellent and thoughtful content! xx
Great Video. Im glad to be a part of it. Really informational. Thank you ! I really love both your attitudes. Very good show!
Show more fishing! 😁 and spear fishing. My wife and I have watched from the beginning and are rooting you two on. We will help sponsor once we get back to work!
What a lot of great information, professionally presented.
Thank you for sharing your off shore sailing experiences and how you maintain living off the grid; the logistics and repairs. You depend on each other for everything. As a mountain back packer, I find your navigation, satellite communications, solar power, 12v systems and food preparations very interesting.
Great episode. A whole new look. Well done. Great information all around, but for the casual viewer who spends time in the sun, thanks for sharing that information. Skin cancer is a quiet enemy that sneaks up on you and while very treatable, is something once you have it, needs constant attention.
been following your guys travel for a long time now - we are kind of living on the big brother of yours - also ketch-rigged, but 43 ft - but also housing not just the two of us but up to 7 at times for research expeditions... always nice to collect new ideas from other boats though! Thank you for sharing this!
I wanna join you guys😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Wonderful video. I truly enjoyed..
I wish you to both of you a tone of much more happy and safe sailing.
Cheers from Philly!!
I have been following your adventurer for a while and I think this is one of your best videos. Thanks, keep up the great job.
Hey two Buds,that was probably one of my favorite episodes that you’ve done.It was very informative and had a lot of good ideas on how to store everything and how to use groceries and produce to make it last. 30 ft is not very big and you have a lot of things you have to have on board.Really liked the canvas work good job Desiree 👍liked the way you both took turns showing all the details of your fine would cruiser you should be proud!!I watch a lot of sailing videos and this was in my top 10 favorites, the videography was very good!Love the shots of Atticus underway and all the drone footage and the underwater shots as well.Would be nice to see some views of Atticus from the bottom at anchor when your diving.Hope you can get to back to hopping from spot to spot and restrictions are lifted.I know you’re glad to be done with major boat work too.again great job👍Jordan good job on everything you do as well, thanks for all you do for us to enjoy your adventures 🙏
If only I were young again. You two are really living the dream. Living on the Caribbean 24/7 would be so worth it. Be safe.😘
You people are living the new dream. Living outside the box. Have fun! That is what’s important to life.... live!! Love the video.
One of the best videos I've ever seen as far as living on sailboats. You guys are amazing
This is a great way for any one to learn everyday life and how to cope with off grid sea life.. you two are The examples of boat life... y'all make me happy thank you
What a great summary, in detail, of living aboard full time on a (small) sailboat. 👍
the best video I've ever seen on setting up a boat and showing how you use it to live day to day.......
Wow, yep wow! You two really need to publish this video into a book, your attention to detail really will help out allot of people. I know this covid is slowing down travels so now would be a good time to get a book started
Thank you for sharing the pros and cons. Such a joy to witness people like you living out a dream. A famous Danish sailor and author Troels Kløverdahl (1943-2018) said : “Happiness is when your expectations align with reality”
You demonstrate well how difficult it is to sail on the ocean. I have learnt a lot. My late parents would sail all the time and I did not appreciate this at all. Living over here for years on an island I now know and I want to sail because your show gave me inspiration. I write a lot just listening to you two in the background. You are both honest and open in your struggles. Anyway, relationships are hard and we are caught on an island in the Andaman watching you two now regularly. She asks me questions about your excellent cadence and way of speaking. You both have excellent enunciation on the mic. She is studying hard to practice. I argue all the time with my local lady because she is a fireball (Italian temper) and a great cook of many, many Thai and western dishes. She beats me daily when I do not listen. (haha) You both remind me of my young mum and dad on a sailing adventure they did back in the day. Stay safe and positive always.
I really enjoyed this video. You shared some practical ways that you manage living on a boat, being self sufficient and enjoying life! Great shots of your living arrangements and your set up. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for all your info and videos. We love watching yall. Going through the boat like this is great. We added a few ways we want to improve our boat too.
Best video yet. Cinematography is great. Appreciate your open and honest, down-to-earth style. Found you guys through UmAtticus episodes, bing watched all episodes. Today became a patron! Keep up the great work!
Chad Jackson was just thinking the same thing. Time to support these guys. So genuine.
🤗 thank you so much Chad!! welcome to our patreon family and thank you so much for your encouragement! it means so much to us!!
thanks Rob!!
This was so helpful! Living on an island I have always wanted to get further out into the sea. Ya'll are giving me the motivation :')
You two are amazing, beautiful people that bring us much joy. More please.
Amazing how much different knowledge and skills is needed to live this life style. It's really nice. Great video!
I just love you guys I'm so happy that you're doing so well there will be days that will be tough but you are in a very safe place together be nice to each other and take care
You guys are awesome. Love the energy and respect between you, and thank you for the constructive tips. Be safe and keep giving us more!
thanks for your kind words and for watching our videos!!
Fantastic. Thoughtful descriptions of necessities with additional considerations clearly delineated A to Z. Nicely done. Thank You.
You are truly inspiring. Thank you for these professional videos that you share with us. In addition, you are as beautiful from the inside as from the outside. Congratulations for your shared experience. My wife and I ,will leave to cross from Quebec (Lake Champlain) to Miami, after, the Bahamas. We call that: The intracostal. We have been following you from the very beginning of your adventures. Thanks again and well done. I write from google translate, beacause i speek french.....
This is now one of my all time favorites, what an awesome episode Buds. I loved the detail info on everything, I must have taken you 40 hours to make this one. Thanks and stay safe
thanks Rick! yep this one took us way longer than our story based episodes for sure!
@@ProjectAtticus iv just bought a seahawk 4 dinghy have to start somewhere lol best wishes from north shields tyne and wear
I've been watching videos about living on a sailboat for a year. You two are the best
Great info again. Keeping it as simple as you have done from the beginning. Great job buds
What an amazing, intelligent beautiful couple! That was the best sailing channel videos I’ve seen yet!
Smart adaptive talented salty sailors. I remember when you bought Atticus. Best wishes for health and safety. This was an interesting video. 👍🇺🇸
I really love what you guys do. It reminds me of my ocean passages years ago and gets me dreaming of new adventures. I'm also team manual windlass, foot pumps, 30-footer for minimal running costs, cleaning dishes with sea water and generally self-sufficiency.
Congratulations!! I really apreciatte this video...You are an inspiration for all of us that dreaming live on the sailboat!! Get a hug from Brazil!!!
Enjoyable look at the day-to-day working life.
This was one of your most interesting postings. Love the detailed insight. Looking forward to watching as you cross the Pacific and begin your South Pacific adventure. Thanks!
One of the most informative vids about your journey! My wife and I love your life ! Stay safe
Great video - matter of fact, informative, unpretentious, comprehensive yet compact.👌
Great info, I hope you're safe on the hook and being productive on-board.
Yes it could be hard some times, But the life you guys enjoy is priceless.
New to the channel from country living in North Cleveland Tx. The footage that you two do is awesome!!
Looking forward to check out the old and new vlogs. The beer virus has us home bound still so find myself watching hours of your channel. Thank you for your time and all that you inspire.
Please be safe out there and never forget one hand for the boat and the other hand for self. Peace out.
Dear you, just watched your S4E24 which is truly one of the best most honest and perfectly synthetic presentation about what living on a sailing boat means. I've seen many of those on the web but yours is frankly the best. Enjoyed your tricks & tips. Keep this up and maybe we will meet in some anchorages sometime somewhere... cheers, (Bravo Romeo Newick 42 green)
Beautiful, Great episode
