    Sea Tilt! The wallpaper on my left monitor is this catamaran. The other monitor is a magpie. My lottery dream is to buy a Gunboat, name her Magpie, and sail around the world.

    Gunboat...the only cat manufacturer I know of that gets the helm position right. What a beast! Just flying along like she's not even trying. Thanks for sharing!

      Chris White Designs was the pioneer behind the forward cockpit. Check out his 57 and 72 designs. They're built to last for world cruising and still plenty fast.

      It is a great helm position, but like all things has it fair share of flaws as well😉

      Thank you for this video!
      What do you think could be improved upon?

      The only boat you can wash the dishes at helm position, at 20 knots. 😄

    They are a very cool cat, just need a significant win on the lotto to get into one.

    Is the main sail by Doyle as well? The video is rich in so many ways!

    • @youngbarnacles
      @youngbarnacles  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes. Doyles made all the sails for this boat.

    It even has your favourite main sheet system!

    First Gunboat video I have seen with verified boat speeds.

    Thanks for sharing your GB68 experience! Can you tell us what is the way people setup the daggerboard on this kind of cat (depending on sea state, speed, angle, wind...)?

    • @youngbarnacles
      @youngbarnacles  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That is a good suggestion. Unfortunately there is no one answer as it is totally dependant on all the things you mention above. However I will see if I can explain what too look out for with how the boat is reacting, sea states to watch out for etc etc......

    Is that a rotating mast?

    .. a gimbal mount and an external fluffy bluetooth mic could help to make your reviews digestible..

    • @youngbarnacles

      Totally agree! Open to all offers 😁

    Hey! You're coming to me, you're welcome here! If you'd like to meet a French fan, let me know :) We're near Palavas-les-Flots.

      Unfortunately it was only a quick trip this time around. When we were there last year with our cat we wanted to see more of the Etang's. Such a cool area, if we are that way again we will come look you up for sure!

    Your video is so shaky it’s really unwatchable. Consider getting a gimbal.

    Buy yourself a wind sock for your microphone please.
