    You’re right. This next adventure for you IS for all of us. Because unfortunately for most of us we’d never be able to afford a boat like this or be offered a deal like this. So, I’m glad you guys are getting onboard (see what I did there 🤪) and taking us with you. Have fun and we look forward to living vicariously through you.

    If you want to see fall leaves, come to Maine! As a kid, I was fishing on a lake with a friend's family. His mom said, " I feel like I am in a bowl of fruit loops!" The water was dead flat and like a mirror. The reflection of the leaves on the water was amazing!

    It's funny how a little hindsight can make the struggles in life look like "the Plan". The past few years of watching you two trying to find the new Clarity has been painful. I felt your frustration. So now it seems like you guys had to go through all of that just to appreciate this "Gift". My wife and I always say, "oh that's why this sucked so much..." right after we take the time to realize where we are at a particular moment was just part of "the Plan." While I don't particularly believe in Fate or Karma, something like them do seem to wind their tentacles through our lives if we pay attention. Thank you for keeping us along for the ride.

    A few recommendations, particularly at night, reef early, balance the sail plan. If you have an inner forestay, use it. Start slowing down over 10 knots to windward. Never trust mooring balls over 25 knots. Replace the raw water impellers, clear the raw water skin fitting and screen, flush the heat exchangers and replace the engine heat exchanger anodes. Make sure skin fitting valves are free and clear, all engine hoses are double clamped. Spares for EVERY THING.

    "We're going to have to raise our game..." Now you know how I felt when the U.S. Government allowed me to fly their aircraft in support of national objectives for 20 years!
    I had an absolute blast, "comprised of long durations of boredom punctuation by moments of stark raving terror." Actually, it could be better described by about 80% normal ops and 20% not-so-normal ops.
    From what I've seen on sailing vids, much the same is true.

    @chadgautier1004 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    @TheOKellys - The most heartfelt congratulations on finding yourselves in a ‘Big Boat’ performance cruising catamaran!
    …ON SAFETY…
    My advice to you (I was a pro sailor/sailmaker, multihull’er for 35 years), when you are doing high teens and low twenties on a close reach or lower to the wind…when you come into a puff (more wind pressure) as the boat starts to load up and accelerate, your first tendency (mono-hull think) might be to head up toward the wind to unload the sails. In a big enough puff this will loose you rudder authority (imagine entering VMC or flat spin in a twin engine aircraft) and turn the boat turtle! Please don’t do that! Lol.
    Instead turn down away from the wind (performance catamaran think) and burn off the potential energy loading up the sails, rig, and hulls. The result will be increased boat speed and complete rudder authority!! AKA control of the boat.
    That’s the best big-air advice that I can give you two. There are many an upside-down newbie to perf-cat sailing that may have died for this advise…
    Happy and safe sailing you O’Kelly’s, you!!! Enjoy the new boat.

    Someone once bet me that I couldn't do 10 one legged squats. I won $100. I was nineteen and wiry. Now, at 71, I'm happy to be able to stand up from chair. I carried a Domke camera bag daily for over 30 years that had a couple of Nikon bodies and 3 or 4 lenses. It weighed 25-30 lbs and gave me shoulder and back problems. Then I switched to a couple of Canon digital cameras & some lenses that weighed about the same. Since I've gotten a Sony RX-100, I only use the Canons attached to my telescopes for astrophotography. The little Sony is fantastic and is carried in my pocket. My wife and I along with friends went out for dinner and I was wearing a blazer. My friend complimented my blazer and said that it was probably the first time I'd worn it. Then he said, I can tell that because the tags are still stapled to the sleeve.

    I am so happy for you and looking forward to the more upbeat videos from the new boat. It was slightly depressing to see you becoming so frustrated with finding a new boat only to have it fall through at the last minute. The more relaxed faces on both of you is much more reassuring and comforting to me at least. Congratulations and looking forward to the the new videos!

    What a great beginning to the next adventure! I think this is a great opportunity to show people how to get to know a boat for the first time. Mind you, this isn’t an ordinary first boat! 🇨🇦. BTW, the trees were fantastic this year, Victoria BC.

      My goodness, one for the books! Obviously things change quick in the PNW, and the rains have now arrived! Yeh, this is going to be epic and we hope to show what it is like to make this transition...one question I'd hope to answer is whether or not this WOULD make a good first boat. Cheers!

  • @cupofjoe.88
    @cupofjoe.88 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Im slowly being converted to your way of thinking on Outremers. I want to be able to sail upwind and have daggerboards and it seems like this is the best boat for that compared to a Lagoon/Leopard/Privilege

    • @AORD72
      @AORD72 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Light breeze sailing is the best, that is why performance cats were better IMO. Gliding quietly through the water in 5-10 knots of breeze, going as fast as you would with motors, is thee best sailing sailing. No wasting money on diesel, no smell, no noise, no vibrations. Daggers also have the possible advantage of shallow draft for better anchoring options.

    • @TheOKellys
      @TheOKellys  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      You're never going to hear us bashing any of those boats. They are built for a purpose and price point and they do what they do very well. And many many many of them have crossed oceans. For us though, our priorities have changed, and a more performance oriented boat is in order to meet our goals. Yes, daggerboards allow better sailing close to the wind, but that is just one aspect of what makes a good ocean-crossing boat...also critical are hull shape, weight distribution, sail handling, light air performance, stiffness, etc., etc. I could write a book on this topic, but instead will save it for the videos. Cheers!

    The Outremer 55 might be intimidating, but this boat is also quite forgiving. Oh, and by the way : next time you'll be in La Grande Motte, take a moment to visit Les Baux de Provence. It's only 1.5h away by road.

    You should try an SSD enclosure with SSD inserts. If you have Thunderbolt or USB-C you can get x3 more speed on your external hard drives.

    Fix your eyes by eye exercises. Palming massage to stimulate blood flow. Myopia, Read with the strong eye closed with text in the distance (eg on TV) just out of focus. Myopia can just be muscles that have weakened too much and lost the ability to focus the eye.

But the BIGGEST number of winners here are your subscribers and Patreons-who get to watch the O'Kelly's figure out this incredible sailboat and learn about it right along with you two!! You perfected Clarity, and it's gonna be VERY cool watching you perfect Clarity II! CHEERS!!
