in February 2024 we set sail to cross the Pacific from Panama to French Polynesia, some 4000 nautical miles. Our Triamaran "Mindelo" is a Norman Cross 42, built in 1982
Nice old trimeran ... With an excellent cockpit layout.. One day perhapse you could fit more solar and an electric motor.. that way you can motor at 5-6 nots just on solar as long as you have sun light. Rather than have to sit days in the doldrums all through the day.
@@NiklausWildisen A DIY auxiliary electric pod motors or outboard conversion is not that hard to build ... The extra solar and a battery system to store it is more tricky but it will get cheaper and easier very quickly.. Look at the Windelo's for inspiration .. but also other U Tube diy conversions. 🤞🏻👍🏼🧙🏼♂️

Amazing!!!!!! You did it guys! So proud of you all! Miss youuuu 🫶🏽
Now I see why you sold your old boat. Excellent upgrade. I will have to make my dreams bigger.
really nice wooden yacht…that well protected helm, and spacious cockpit should make the most challenging shifts comfortable…
Well done 👏
Safe travels 😊
Hey it was awesome to meet you guys in Nuku Hiva and we hope we get to cross paths in Raraka ;-) love the video and Mindelo looks beautiful!

An electric engine would be a dream indeed. Our Perkins is very reliable and quiet economic but motoring without emissions would be something else
