Sailing a Privilege 510 9200 Nautical Miles in 12 Months

Meet Alex, he's the captain of the Privilege 510 Sisu and has sailed more than 9200 nautical miles after taking delivery in France last year. We thought it would be a great opportunity to chat with Alex to learn more about his experience sailing the Privilege 510 in varied conditions. From sailing performance and downwind sailing to single-handing and daily averages, Alex shares his experience sailing Sisu during the past 12 months.

Great informative video Rob, definitely my favorite, thanks for getting it at the show. Was great chatting with you, going to Nautilus sailing school in the Grenadines, next year, no captain licence 😁

As soon as my Lotto numbers hit, I'll be in the market for a 580, galley down in a 5 cabin layout. Big enough for the wife and I, our son, his wife and 3 kids.

I hope to see more solar and even hybrid engines on your new models. I am seeing that 1 diesel hybrid and 1 electric motor with enough battery can save you a lot on fuel and costs of upkeep. It will be nice when solar and batteries progress more. New technology has LFP tech at 350 watts per kilo now. Old LI tech gets 300 but is fire hazard and most LI out their only gets 250 per kilo. Over the next 2 years we will see 400 watts per kilo with LFP batteries. being able to put 100kw of batteries on a 50 foot catamaran is huge. right now that is 80kw for same weight. Have you looked into solar on main boom bags. could add 1kw per side maybe even 2kw.
