Early & Ad Free: Why We’re Building A Catamaran (THE EXPERIMENT)....Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 469

Hey hey Delos Tribe! This is our LAST episode in French Polynesia for a while, and it's a pretty fun/sentimental/crazy one if I do say so myself. After 15 years on a monohull, we're finally making the switch to a catamaran....but funnily enough we've actually spent an incredibly small amount of time on catamarans. We've done little sails here and there, we've certainly partied on them a time or two (*coughs* ahemmm, PARLAY πŸ™ˆ) but we've never properly lived on one and gotten a feel for what day to day life is really like. So we figured it was time to change that, and what better chance to do it then to hang out with our friends Warren & Erica on their boat Va...and what better place than Bora Bora!!! And while we are on the topic of Warren & Erica, we are SO grateful to them for hosting us, and in this episode as we finally hop on a plane for Australia, we share a very heartfelt goodbye. These two are just top tier humans, and our time together exploring French Polynesia together will always be some of our fondest memories of our entire trip around the world. We hope you enjoy this video!

Lots of love, big hugs, and gratitude from all of us,

Brian, Kazza, & Sierra

Catching up on videos and really enjoyed this one. Totally agree with your comparison between Mono and cat and the 'Feeling' of sailing. Hope you don't miss it too much! Cheers!

I’m wondering whether you can install motorized sail handling gear on 2.0. I’m sure the jib furler can be motorized, but I’ve never seen a cat with a furling main, either in mast or in boom. In boom furling would be great!

It's Monday now and I feel fine! I even had a dental cleaning today. I thought it was meant to see how I was healing after the extraction. But I was surprised to get a nice cleaning. How do you guys manage dental stuff?

Scott C. Wise

Thanks so much Gary, so happy to bring you some smiles every Friday!

Sailing SV Delos

Haha we LOVED that part too πŸ˜‚ Yes we were definitely relieved that we enjoyed cat life, because yes at this point the hull was already well underway!

Sailing SV Delos

Oh yes it was definitely a tease-worthy moment!

Sailing SV Delos

Oh that's awesome you subscribed to them, they are such amazing people!

Glad you enjoyed Jeanne πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

We're so happy you're here with us too, and so glad you enjoyed the lil teaser!

Thanks so much Dan, really glad you enjoyed this one we really loved it too πŸ₯°

Sailing SV Delos

Oh yikes, glad the extraction is behind you Scott, sounds gnarly! But glad you enjoyed the vid!

It's at the top of our list for design considerations, Sierra will accept no less than the BOUNCIEST!

Sailing SV Delos

Oh yes the trampoline is priority number 1 for us now that Sierra's gotten the taste of the bouncy life πŸ˜‚

Sailing SV Delos

Thanks so much Nate, really glad you're enjoying the content as we make this transition. We are now editing the first boat build episodes and it's been super fun to put together, so excited to start sharing it with you all!

Sailing SV Delos

Oooo hammock in the room is a fantastic idea, Sierra would love that!

Sailing SV Delos

Awww thanks Papa D!

Sailing SV Delos

So proud of all my boys … but Brian … you tilt the world

Michael Trautman

I'm imagining all of this on Delos 2.0, but now put an extra strong tramp in. Best decision I ever did with my kiddo was to put a hammock in her room so she could swing her heart out. Also kudos Brian for proudly rocking the nail polish.

Emily

Amazed at how well you’re balancing the real time build content with this timeline. Was originally feeling the lack of family life in the realtime updates, but I see now you were absolutely correct…it’s keeping the y/t timeline fresh even knowing the build is well ahead. Well done!

Nate

After this, I'm sure a trampoline on Delos 2.0 will be up for serious consideration. Sierra requesting shade... the girl is growing up! As for missing that "lean" I'm sure you'll have plenty of chances to join friends on their mono-hulls. For sure, you guys would be the most appreciative guests on the planet! The dramatic ending... teasing us with the garage door... the perfect closure to this part of the saga!

William Flower

Note to self: Make sure the trampoline on the new boat is bouncy

FreeWilly

I'm watching LATE! It's not even SV Delos Friday any more. Around noon time I had a molar extracted and I'm feeling kind of poor. But not so bad that I'm laying on the floor. Loved this episode! It's an interesting contrast between a cat and a mono hull.

Scott C. Wise

What a great vibe this video has. What a beautiful story living the life we all want to live. This was a really good one.

Dan Moss

Great ending! Glad to be a patron and getting a peek behind the curtain early πŸ˜‰

Can never get enough of your diving footage and also love a wreck dive

Brendan Gregory

Sweet insight πŸ˜œπŸ’œπŸŒπŸ˜œπŸ’œπŸŒ

Jeanne H. Mathieu

I found them and subscribed. Thank you!

Their channel is WE Sail.

Kelly Casper

I will search for SV VA (Warren & Erica)!

Margie VV

LOL. learning the art of the 'tease'.. great video. I haven't followed Warren and Erica but will be sure to do so now.

David Hagler

Sierra: "I'm not a babe!" Priceless .. sweet .. beautiful. She doesn't want to be a baby ..... but some day she WILL be a Babe ..... just like Mom and Mormor! It is a good thing ... that you don't mind sailing a Cat ..... since you are way deep into your own! No going back. Keep 'em flyin

Bonne Mike

Really good video, the high lite of Fridays.
