America's Cup wing keel was 1983 and was designed by the Australians. It was the first time America lost the cup in 132 years. Love your boat. I saw a few things that you have that I want to implement on my boat. Cheers!
Yeah such a great story we watched the doc recently ! We’re curious what the features are that you liked and that you want to implement on yours, can you share? 😃🙏🏽
@@SailingAdhara I am doing a complete restoration of an Alden 44, #001, that was built in 1977. I like the idea of adding a chain stopper forward of the windlass. Does it help keep the chain off the deck? I also like the windlass controls in the cockpit as well as having rescue slings on both sides of the cockpit.
Wow cool, that’s a nice boat 😍 yeah never thought of it that way but yes the chainstopper keeps the chain off the deck! Another feature that’s great (but we don’t have) is a Dutch boom brake! 😃🤙
Nice to see your post - we’ve been waiting for a long time! Lovely boat. Keep posting, you two will be great at it.
Thank you J! We'll try and show up here more often :)
Can't wait for the interior review and tour of your sailboat.
Excellent Video! Vielen Dank.Great details. Love the "yoga space" at the back of your boat
😊🧘🏻♀️🙏🏽
That’s Amazing, I’ve been watching sailing channels for years and never have I seen such a well organised Yacht. It’s taking the stress out of Blue water sailing I imagine. I honestly beginning to think sailing was to dangerous and now from what I’ve seen that’s no longer an issue. I’m Australian so I want a Wing Keel.😂All the best and enjoy 😊
Ha! That's awesome to hear thank you for that! It was actually NZ that had the wing keel :) There's a great doc on Netflix about the race worth checking out!
Excellent tour of the exterior and it looked great! Interior tour please! Can't wait to see what the interior looks like.
Thank you! We'll take you through the interior soon..
It's a new & unique interiorless type sailboat which improves the sailing aerhydrodynamix functionality & reduces the cleaning person-hours effort required 😂
Super you have a yacht 👍
very well thought out boat.
Hello, where's the inside tour you mention at the end, please?
Thanks.
Big fan of your pretty boat and your adventure. Looking forward to more videos ;)
Thanks so much guys! Love your Chateau - what a mammoth project 😍💪
What a beauty
Beautiful boat you have 👍😀
Enjoyed the video, thanks.
Was just wondering about the name of your lovely boat - is there a story to that?
All the best from Perth, Western Australia.

We decided to keep the name when we bought the boat. Adhara is a star in the Canis Major constellation and during winter in the northern hemisphere we can see her every night 🤩✨
@@SailingAdhara thank you.
Jesse, I read somewhere that you now have to sell Adhara...surely that is not true?
Where is she now? You are going to sell? Let me know pls. Sailed contest before 17 years.
👍🦘
Buddy it was Australia that kicked the Americans ass go Aussie go great boat by the way
Oh yeah so true!! What an epic story we actually watched the doc recently!!
Nice! -- QUESTION -- . Flopper stopped looks so good on ytouube commercials. However, I don't see anyone sailing channels on youtube using them. What is going on? Isn't rolling the biggest downside to sailboats? Do they not work??
Good one, thanks for the question! I would say they work and our friends @seethelittlethings have used one from time to time! But the priority is always to try and anchor somewhere you DON'T roll! :)
@@SailingAdhara ..the video on youtube claims that they reduce roll to a lower amount than that achieved on a catamaran. If true it would seem like it would be mandatory equipment. The most important reason I would consider a Cat is rolling.. But if you can avoid it then it would be sailboat all the way.
