Glad you guys had a calm passage at Cape Hatteras. We had a rough time getting around there and then spent a month there for repairs; it seemed like everyday was high winds and tall seas or totally becalmed.
Too funny ! As they were crewing, Not sailing. Sailing is when you are trusted to deliver a vessel under your charge to a destination. Crewing is when you help the owner or transport captain in said delivery. This couple is cute and sailors in their own right, but lets not over reach.
That was awesome with the mustache. Great to see y'all poke a little fun at each other. I will be looking for Riley's poke at you on their channel. Great video and a sweet ride you're on.
What a fabulous opportunity to do a great delivery trip on a cool catamaran . Despite your lack of wind many delivery trip are more time dependent so motoring is common. Doing a passage in a large boat is so much easier on the body and mind. Wonderful experience! Thanks for sharing! Cheers Warren.
I am binge watching the older videos. My first thought was that this cat looks like La Vagabonde II, but somewhat bigger. And then Kika made her hilarious Riley impression! Given that Brian was in Step 125 and that the people from Sailing Atticus and Sailing RAN have visited Uma earlier, it is always fun with various interconnections between TH-cam-channels.
I first started with La Vagabonde so it was nice that you mentioned them....I am sure you know by now that they have a son, Lenny, and he is really growing and will celebrate his first birthday in a few months. Thanks for your hard work.
OOOOOhhhhh Kika - You just know SLV is not going to let that slide. Somewhere, somehow Riley's going to get his revenge, watch your back ! And when it happens don't forget to smile :-)
I was stationed at MCAS Cherry Point for most of my 20 years in the Marine Corps and I would walk the docks down at Beaufort a LOT looking at all the different kinds of transient boats passing through to see what type I liked best. AND I viewed this Step on the "4th of July" in 2020.
Don't buy a couch ... but definitely by an air conditioner :p What a beautiful catamaran! Amazing space on a catamaran. Kika you goof ball. Fun adventure - thanks for sharing. Cheers!
I've seen utremers with following winds do wing on wing and just flat out hauling ass. A 5 kt wind from behind isn't great but you could sail it just as you could in a monohull.
No wind is a pain, but better than too much wind. I think on a monohull with 5-10 mph behind you there would have been some wing and wing going on, maybe a polled out asymmetrical. I really need to think about a regular spinnaker for occasions like that. When you were leaving Beaufort NC you pointed to a spit of land and called it Hatteras. I think that was Cape Lookout. If you get back up that way there's an awesome anchorage inside Cape Lookout. Good video - cheers, tally ho!
Glad you stopped in at Beaufort, that's my home town! You should have interviewed the resident pirate - Sinbad! If you ever go back it is worth a visit :-)
Long Island where i grew up. On the North Fork in the small hamlet of Southold. Our school logo was a square rigger whaling ship. I miss walking down the beach.
A fantastic video with a wonderful impersonation of Riley! The outreamer 5X is delicious. What a boat! Keep up the great work. Your channel is my sailing fix for this (currently) semi land locked Aussie!
Keep a lookout for Billy and Sierra ( Tulas Endless Summer ) They are living aboard their cat while both working as Ocean Life Guards on Fire Island, Long Island. If you see a Boston Whaler zipping along at about 50 kts, not to worry,,,,, just Billy late for work, as usual :)
You guys say "dont buy a couch" but the one thing I've noticed over and over again is that you guys are usually uncomfortable. Are you sure a 41' aft cabin center cockpit heavy displacement 'couch' wouldn't make your life a little happier? Sure, you wont get there fast but who's in a hurry? My 14 y/o daughter and I are on the hunt for our first sailboat and we plan to leave Florida in November if it all works out. You guys have inspired us to go green, we plan to be self sufficient for all but food (too bad we dont eat much fish). How much does the comfort factor affect your decision on where to sail, when to sail, etc? I'm still on the fence and we're still considering something a little smaller and faster, I'd love your input! Thank you for the inspiration. You guys and SLV are like members of our family now!
I believe that comfort is in the eye of the beholder. There are always sacrifices and compromises when it comes to any lifestyle. We love our boat, she allows us to follow our dreams, sails well, but most importantly she is our home, 100% ours, and we would never sacrifice that freedom by going into debt for a "better" boat. That being said, everyone's comfort level is different, but you should not let "comfort" keep you from leaving the dock. We left 3 years ago without autopilot, fridge, shower, working head... but the boat had sails and a sturdy hull so WE LEFT and are doing what we love - that was our priority- And as we move forward exploring dozens of countries, we make modifications to the boat to fit our own needs and lifestyle. We know many others who waited and waited for the perfect boat and 4 years later are still at the same dock. There are certain things a boat needs, but it is much shorter than the list of things you would want in it. My advice would be to find out what your priorities are (Needs vs Wants) and let that guide your decision. Hope you find what you are looking for 🙂 -Cheers! (Kika)
Super editing guys..Kika keep trying that Strayn accent, sounds french to this Ausi ha ha. You godda try Rylies laugh though. That's the hard part. Good stuff guys...
Great vlog Riley. a 5x Outremer must be awesome to sail. Would you give your thoughts on it in a future vlog. It looks as though you will have at least some wind. Love you guys
This boat is my goal - only $1.4 mil for a new one. IMO Outremer has perfected the balance of comfort and speed with the 5X!!! But right now my budget matches for a Gemini. So lots of work to do! Thank you for the inspiring and informational video
I met a guy in bvi that his job was to deliver boats by water. I said you have the best job in the world. Wish I had known you all were stopping in Beaufort. Great videos. Dang the wife is cute!
Byron P Penick Delivering boats is often boring and also scary. You spend a lot of time motoring to meet a schedule and you also are moving boats that may not be ready for the trip so there can be scary issues to deal with, sinking ,broken engines , broke rigs etc. but really good experience for the right kind of person if you can handle it.! Cheers Warren
warp21drive if you have this profession I would like to apprentice. I love being on the water and love sailing especially! I learned at a very early age in Annapolis that it is better to be able borrow a friend's boat than to actually own one. I don't give my sailboat the attention it actually deserves which is constant upkeep. So to get paid to use another's boat sounds heavenly. It sounds like an endless vacation that someone is paying me to be on.
The only thing this was, was a low-blow to the patreons for 1) not forking enough cash over so that you can buy an outremer and 2) no meet up in New York! I will go sulk for a few minutes and return waiting for you two to provide more great content. 😁
Outreamer isnt the same i know they are faster and layed out for more comfort but a sloop leans and bobs, sometimes they make death seem near but i enjoy the fear and the lean. Cats are just too easy. Autopilot boats.
to me....a YT sailor who has 0000000.0 on his sailing odometer....a mono is like flying economy and a cat is like business. but i still think i'd prefer the mono. especially your mono. riley's accent seemed to drift from aussie to jamaican. :) nice episode....thnx.
You guys are awesome… My question is where can I find a sailing boat for somewhere around the price range as you did? Is there a website? or do I have to hang around shipping yards hoping for a good deal to come my way?
We found our boat on yachtworld.com....but ebay and craigslist are also good places for cheap boats since under $10k, most brokers won't touch them. You can also start cold calling marinas and ask if they have any abandoned boat. It's often quite expensive to haul them out and crush them, so they might be happy to help you with the paper work in exchange for getting boat off their hands.
Uh Ohhhhh. Yall gona git Spoilt. So, Ya know La Vaga is going to be in your neck of the Ocean for Quite a Whild, so are you hinting that with Uma in the Yards, you four may get together? They SURE have the Room.
Now now Kids, don't get too spoiled sailing an Outremer cat.. A 60' at that ! Wow, this thing is like a hotel suite but with sails. Too bad you had to motor all the way... Bummer. Take care, dudes !
No, It is Bow-furt, NC and Bewfert, SC. Both spelled Beaufort. The SC one is sorta between Edisto and Hilton Head. And for God's sake don't pronounce either one like the other when you are in one or the other! The locals will NOT be happy with you.

Favorite part is when Kika said "mustard". Too adorable. Second favorite part: Impersonation of a "certain boat captain". Ha ha ha. Awesome.
Glad you guys had a calm passage at Cape Hatteras. We had a rough time getting around there and then spent a month there for repairs; it seemed like everyday was high winds and tall seas or totally becalmed.
Riley impression while sailing an Outremer bigger than LaVaga' II...priceless! You guys rock!
Too funny ! As they were crewing, Not sailing. Sailing is when you are trusted to deliver a vessel under your charge to a destination. Crewing is when you help the owner or transport captain in said delivery. This couple is cute and sailors in their own right, but lets not over reach.
Haha! Kika doing Riley! Classic.
Yes - than Dan should become ... a growing belly?
That was awesome with the mustache. Great to see y'all poke a little fun at each other. I will be looking for Riley's poke at you on their channel. Great video and a sweet ride you're on.
Loving the Riley impersonation! So funny!
😂😂😂😂 Great Riley Impersonation!!! Love it..
Too funny!! You two are always up for an adventure!! Peace, Love and Happiness!!
Good work.. on the Riley impersonation... especially with head and moe .. great fun..
What a fabulous opportunity to do a great delivery trip on a cool catamaran . Despite your lack of wind many delivery trip are more time dependent so motoring is common. Doing a passage in a large boat is so much easier on the body and mind. Wonderful experience! Thanks for sharing!

Yay, a tour, thank you.
We laughed so much at Kika as Riley.
I am binge watching the older videos. My first thought was that this cat looks like La Vagabonde II, but somewhat bigger. And then Kika made her hilarious Riley impression! Given that Brian was in Step 125 and that the people from Sailing Atticus and Sailing RAN have visited Uma earlier, it is always fun with various interconnections between TH-cam-channels.
I was watching while drinking tea and almost choked and died when little Kika showed up as Riley from Lavaga... literally, almost died. LOL
Looks like a very comfortable boat! That Riley impression had me laughing! Excellent video!
I first started with La Vagabonde so it was nice that you mentioned them....I am sure you know by now that they have a son, Lenny, and he is really growing and will celebrate his first birthday in a few months. Thanks for your hard work.
The foot cut was hilarious! LOL so was the Riles imitation,
So excited to hear that you are installing radar and AIS on Uma. It's my winter project so hopefully I'll learn even more from you guys.
Epic! Riley’s impersonation was so funny!
Lol! I loved the La Vaga bit!
OOOOOhhhhh Kika - You just know SLV is not going to let that slide. Somewhere, somehow Riley's going to get his revenge, watch your back ! And when it happens don't forget to smile :-)
looking forward to it 😋
Probably going to tp your boat a the marina. ;)
I literally lol'd out loud at the Riley impression! 🤣🤣🤣
A woman of many talents! I like your squeezebox skills playing that little shanty.
I'm half way through the video and had to stop to remark on the most excellent B-roll. You are fast becoming Masters of the B-roll. Total eye candy.
I was stationed at MCAS Cherry Point for most of my 20 years in the Marine Corps and I would walk the docks down at Beaufort a LOT looking at all the different kinds of transient boats passing through to see what type I liked best. AND I viewed this Step on the "4th of July" in 2020.
Lol..best Australian accent you can mustard;)Giggled on that one:)
I want to go on a boat ride. It's almost spring time in lower Michigan. It's a bit nippy to be on a boat up here.
Love the impression of Riley, that was funny.
That cat was huge"
But it sure looked comfortable.
Thank's for sharing.
Happened to watch this episode on a large screen. Don’t know what you guys are filming with now, but really sharp film and excellent lighting👍
:D that was a hilarious impression of SLV!
Don't buy a couch ... but definitely by an air conditioner :p What a beautiful catamaran! Amazing space on a catamaran. Kika you goof ball. Fun adventure - thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Omg! I spit my Martini when Kika impersonated Riley!!! Terrible waste of Vodka!
LOL!
Kika...
You missed your calling!!!
You should do Stand-Up comedy!!!!
I laughed so hard at your Mustached Skit!!!
Coffee Area#1 lol. Perfect. Also so awesome to travel in that style. Don’t get spoiled cause then the fun is gone. Enjoy
Montauk is my old stomping grounds/ almost every weekend during the summer and Autumn when my boat wasn't docked in Old Saybrook
sweet edits peeps, love those soft transitions with extra sfx added.
Glad you stopped in at Beaufort, that's my home town! You should have interviewed the resident pirate - Sinbad! If you ever go back it is worth a visit :-)
Long Island where i grew up. On the North Fork in the small hamlet of Southold. Our school logo was a square rigger whaling ship. I miss walking down the beach.
Not first, not even second - Just happy to be here enjoying another fun video. :-)
I'm 109,255th! Just a year late to the party.
You all are awesome. I’m from Montauk. Really cool to see home. Completely inspired.
LOL I didn’t know Riley was Indian! 😂
Also, the clickbait totally worked on us - hooked like a fish 🎣
We prefer Uma to fancy boats though 😉
Ciaoo Kittiwake ... i am waiting next episode and IESS indian accent!!
Maurizio Canale ciao Maurizio! ❤️ Next episode is up on Monday 😊
As a matter of fact UMA is an Indian name
Wow, awesome opportunity!
A fantastic video with a wonderful impersonation of Riley! The outreamer 5X is delicious. What a boat! Keep up the great work. Your channel is my sailing fix for this (currently) semi land locked Aussie!
Hey just watching you latest episode. If you guys are still on Long Island, we'd love to take you out to dinner or show you the sights!
My brother was stationed in ft. Macon twice and just transferred to new Orleans. I absolutely love the Beaufort area.
So so jealous, my dream boat and you are almost within shouting distance. ;)
Nice job on the Riley impersonation and the moe. ;)
The Reilly scene was FUNNY .. LOL
Elaina, grab the fenders .... looool
I would argue this is not a performance cat but rather a regular cat and that other cats are houseboats on twin hulls.
It's like ya'll stayed in a fancy, floating hotel. I can't believe Riley opted for no A/C on the new La Vagabonde...
Catamarans are pretty awesome - so much space; stability; visibility..more air flow and ventilation..l'd have one in a flash...
Keep a lookout for Billy and Sierra ( Tulas Endless Summer ) They are living aboard their cat while both working as Ocean Life Guards on Fire Island, Long Island. If you see a Boston Whaler zipping along at about 50 kts, not to worry,,,,, just Billy late for work, as usual :)

I lived in Oz for a year and I still couldn't do the accent, although I did start raising my voice at the end of every sentence. Love Oz 💗
Great video but would prefer to be on Uma sailing,hate motoring and love the quiet of sailing with the water rushing by the hull
Super editing guys..Kika keep trying that Strayn accent, sounds french to this Ausi ha ha. You godda try Rylies laugh though. That's the hard part. Good stuff guys...
Great vlog Riley. a 5x Outremer must be awesome to sail. Would you give your thoughts on it in a future vlog. It looks as though you will have at least some wind. Love you guys
Are you having a meet and greet in NYC? I would love to meet you guys!
Nice job... Thanks for sharing...
Great sunset
Is it Beaufort, South Carolina?
That's a big Catamaran! Would love a tour.
That’s a very convincing Riley!
This vid was hilarious, and love Riley’s sense of humor with his comment. Your editing is incredible now. Are you using FCP?
Great video, how did you find the B&G kit? We're trying to decide which ecosystem to embrace - Raymarine or B&G
This boat is my goal - only $1.4 mil for a new one. IMO Outremer has perfected the balance of comfort and speed with the 5X!!!
But right now my budget matches for a Gemini. So lots of work to do! Thank you for the inspiring and informational video

How much fuel did you use Florida to Beaufort........ kinda important info !!!!!!!

And if sailing a cat gets to be too boring, the crew can always play baseball. . . indoors!
It took me a moment, but then I got the mustache connection. LMAO.
Hello. Love the channel and your story. Why do you do watches in 3 hour increments?
Loking forward to see you guys on your cat like Riley LOL. That's legit.
I knew right away that it wasn't Riley......Too short. Enjoyed the vid.
How does a "square topped" mainsail work vs. a backstay? What's done to make that clear tacking?
Cat's don't have backstays.
riley is probably busting his guts laughing. that was some good stuff.
Mind your head? Kika, it's a camera.
to me....a YT sailor who has 0000000.0 on his sailing odometer....a mono is like flying economy and a cat is like business.
but i still think i'd prefer the mono. especially your mono.
riley's accent seemed to drift from aussie to jamaican. :)
nice episode....thnx.
Funny as Riley impression 🤣👍
One of the fastest cats on the seven seas and you got no wind - arrrrr gh
That's a great ride. I've sailed Wabi Sabi as well.
Awesome Riles impersonation. Maybe they will do a Dan impersonation>
Argh, we're in NY and would TOTALLY have hosted you guys for a few days!
Oh, and our fake Ozzy accents would have given you a run for your money :)
You look awful comfortable on that boat though Best of time always
thanks for the laughs really enjoyed it.
Loved it!!!
Nice editing!!! Duble exposed, slow, fast mo.... great music, people, thanks for taking us along and hope you don't GET sued by vag hags, lol!
OMG I can't stop laughing...Thanks for the video!
You guys are awesome… My question is where can I find a sailing boat for somewhere around the price range as you did? Is there a website? or do I have to hang around shipping yards hoping for a good deal to come my way?

Cape lookout not hatterass on the nav. Let us know if you ever stop in Oriental NC at port
You need Rileys Laugh if your even gonna get close!! " its a SQUALL!"
Uh Ohhhhh. Yall gona git Spoilt. So, Ya know La Vaga is going to be in your neck of the Ocean for Quite a Whild, so are you hinting that with Uma in the Yards, you four may get together? They SURE have the Room.
Great vid new to your channel looks like it hard work but fun thank y’all for experience
Great Episode guys! How do you like the Otremere Catamaran? And like everyone else so enjoyed the SLV bit.. super fun.. love you guys!
Good boat. Wished we sailed more... Maybe next time.
I think this the first time we can understand what old crocodile Dundee is saying.
Now now Kids, don't get too spoiled sailing an Outremer cat.. A 60' at that !
Wow, this thing is like a hotel suite but with sails. Too bad you had to motor all the way... Bummer.
Take care, dudes !
Beaufort, :) pronounced With B and say u and fert. LOL It is a southern thing! Safe sailing!!
No, It is Bow-furt, NC and Bewfert, SC. Both spelled Beaufort. The SC one is sorta between Edisto and Hilton Head. And for God's sake don't pronounce either one like the other when you are in one or the other! The locals will NOT be happy with you.
your coming up into my life Keep going up the hudson and come to Lake Champlain
Suddenly you and Kika are Private Yacht crew....
Oh, sure now Deams Do Come True:)
