    A sailing channel? Who would have thought? What a brilliant idea. Ground breaking

    • @CatGreatcircle
      @CatGreatcircle  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do I detect just a little bit of sarcasm? Can’t blame you as basically every boat nowadays is a sailing channel but just a tiny bit misplaced to post this here. The question is more why you didn’t find us before or how limited your life must have been without watching our previous give or take 300 sailing videos .....

    Best sailing video I have EVER seen. I’ve been following you for years. Love your cinematography. Love your music. Love your boat. Love your personal story. Love how your videos capture places I’ve enjoyed visiting (e.g. Collioure) and suggest new places to go. For several decades, having an extended catamaran adventure similar to yours was my biggest dream in life. Unfortunately my health window has closed. Your videos and a few more charters is the closet I will come. Thank you for sharing and for giving me a chance to experience my dream, if not in reality, then at least vicariously with such a lovely couple. Fair winds and best wishes for your grand adventure!

    Excellent roundup! What a fantastic few years you have had! And now, the excitement of the new Outremer and the upcoming circumnavigation! I am most envious! I have followed you since you first got the Lagoon 52s. You put together really professional videos and travelogues. We can’t wait for the new ones, which are bound to be equally exciting and enthralling, as you record every detail of your new project. Good luck and fair winds.

    • @CatGreatcircle
      @CatGreatcircle  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! We are happy with brand independent followers like yourselves as for us it's not about the brand but about the process, the adventure and the atmosphere. Nothing more tiring than discussions about "I do/don't* like this on your boat, just because I own/want* the same/another* brand". (* cross what's not applicable).

      Thanks, we loved the 52S very much as well. If Outremer hadn't introduced the 55 we might have stayed at Lagoon, who knows. On the other hand looking back at this video ourselves as well changing to the new Outremer seems like kind of a natural next step at his point.

    Fantastic video taking us with you on your sailing adventures with a beautiful narrative and great cinematography. Your drone sequences have steadily improved over the years and are professional quality. Looking forward to great drone shots as you glide effortless around the world in your new Outremer after you finish this summers sea trials in the Med. What a great way to prepare for your world adventure. Your Predict Wind routing sequences really complete each part of the journey and are very much appreciated. Looking forward to seeing more of your routing as you sail around the world.

      @@CatGreatcircle Yes the voice over works great and is very enjoyable to listen to. It tells a great story and comes over better then live recording. It works great to builld a narative and tell a story or explain things like routing and weather patterns. The voice overe also blend in nicely with the back ground music which can be modulated. I find subtitles sometimes difficult to read and distracting. You also have a very clear and pleasant story telling voice.

But I may take some baby steps to see if it is possible. Best wishes

      Normally I turn the noise down but in these circumstances it made sense to keep it at the original level to be able to transfer a bit of the actual feeling on board. On video it all looks so smooth that you tend to forget that you’re having 10 meter waves around you. Luckily we had only one kind of breaking one at night, you definitely don’t want those

    • @CatGreatcircle
      @CatGreatcircle  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes the TS50 is really fast but wasn’t an option for us as cruisers. We wanted more comfort and safety so for us the Outremer is a better trade off. We are not brilliant racers and wouldn’t be brave enough to sail on one after the terrible incident with Hallucine, the winner by far on our ARC crossing.

      It changed our plans on the previous boat as we wanted to continue to the Bahamas and US East coast after visiting the BVI last year.

    It is a beautiful snowy Sunday in the Bavarian Alps and you topped it up with your video, thx for shortening the waiting time for No. 4. (Off-topic: did you hear about the new M1-Processor MacBooks and MacMini? I recently moved from my workhorse MacPro which is consuming 250W/h just idling to a MacMini M1. The small beast is faster at rendering and consumes about 90W/h at full workload (my MacPro eats about 450W/h while rendering) The same goes for the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with the new M1. Definitely a good way to save energy on a boat.) Be safe and healthy.

    Congratulations for the video. It’s amazing.
    One question regarding the cat length, would it be possible to do the whole travel with the 39 footer?, are there huge differences vs the 52 in sailing terms?, not in comfort or room availability.
    Thanks! And keep on sailing! 😍

    • @CatGreatcircle
      @CatGreatcircle  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The L39 is a Cat A boat as well so why not? Still a lot of space available. The bed in the 39 was even bigger than in the 52 (2x2).
      On the engines the 39 is fine as it’s much lighter, the L52S sails a lot better and because of the higher weight and better weight division it feels way more comfortable.
      But as you can buy 4 39’s for the price of a 52 the 39 would be a great choice in terms of value for money

  • @guybarlowgb
    @guybarlowgb 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Why did you decide to change to a Outremer 55 from the Lagoon 50? What made you decide on the change, I suppose there were many reasons, can you share you top 10.

    • @CatGreatcircle
      @CatGreatcircle  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I could talk about this for days but it does make sense to maximise my response to 10 lines
      1. The Outremer 55 is in our eyes the most beautiful cat ever build
      2. As we are not very technical as you might have noticed we prefer to have a newer boat if possible with warranty and support by dealer and/or factory
      3. We looked at all available cats on the market and finally chose between another L52S, the new Lagoon they are announcing step by step right now and the O55
      4. With the experience we have build over de last couple of years we think we will be able to manage a performance cat right now, it seems like a natural next step with new challenges instead of more of the same
      5. Although the price of the Outremer is higher in our opinion so is the build quality and in the end if you're able to do the investment it's not the price but the depreciation that's the most relevant (especially in the current European taxation madness)
      6. We think the improvements that Outremer made in their new model in terms of space, headroom, protection from sun and weather and ease of sailing where just the changes we were looking for compared to there previous models
      7. We'll have all the equipment we had before on the 52S except for the Tenderlift and a fullsize dinghy, the modernizations in terms of Lithium, more solar and the elimination of gaz could of course have been introduced on a new Lagoon as well
      8. We kind of like the project we have entered in together with the Outremer family including being part of GLYWO500, the build time is much longer but it's a lot fun and it's full of positive anticipation
      9. We can always go back to Lagoon when we feel to old to sail a performance cat
      10. The Outremer 55 is in our eyes the most beautiful cat ever build

      True, and I even increased the first part compared to the draft version. So still some binge watching left as all scenes are from detailed previous videos that are still available on our channel.

    If there were 7m waves there is a probability an occasional 14m wave train rolled by.

    • @CatGreatcircle
      @CatGreatcircle  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      True, difficult to tell though whether the wave forecast was accurate. We were exactly where the map predicted 7 but still not easy to estimate wave height. During the day it felt quite ok but the first big waves arrived in the night and directly abeam so we were a bit worried having no reference as to how the boat would cope.

    • @CatGreatcircle

      Tina had several ocean crossings before so when she asked me in the middle of the night “what’s the max wave height this boat can take abeam” not having a clue didn’t really help

      We have several alternatives to create extra protection already but decided to wait until we find out in real life whether we need it and in which form.
      We first want to try the concept where you can turn the wheels completely inside the cockpit and steer from there, when necessary even with the canvas (completely or partially) closed.
      We really liked the Sportop on the 52S but to be honest you hardly ever sit there during crossings

    Elon Musk will be completing his world wide StarLink Internet sayellite service next year which will give you permanent high speed Internet service as you sail around the world so you can upload your videos from the middle of the Pacific. The StarLink Internet satellite receivers are already available so you could ask Outremer to already install one. For the moment the coverage is North America only followed by rapid worldwide deployment.

      Let’s wait and see when this or any other affordable alternative gets there. Maybe broadband like at home isn’t really necessary or even welcome but to be able to communicate with friends like they’re already doing during the Vendée Globe would be nice sometimes
