Congratulations, that looks like a wonderful boat, and I'm looking forward to following your channel. Don't be put off by the critical comments, I'm sure you've both done your research. Lots of people have crossed oceans in Jenneaus and Beneteaus, Ryan and Sophie Sailing comes to mind, and countless others. I think you're off to a great start
As we always say to our friends upon the purchase of a new boat- “Congratulations & I’m Sorry” because both sentiments aptly fit the highs & lows of our maritime addiction.
I know someone who bought a sailboat to sail around and see the world... freedom! A romantic idea and one I too am attracted to. Without knowing the pitfalls and dangers of the oceans and pirates he set sail. He has not been seen or heard from in nearly a decade. He was in the dutch navy. Look before you leap... Good luck! Best wishes!
We bought our first yacht last year. A 40ft Bavaria. We haven't used it as much as we like as we are very cautious with weather etc. It great fun though. We spend some night in at the marina just for fun.
She is beautiful, and for living aboard you will really appreciate the beaminess. OMG those Sparkmam & Stevens, decades ago we had a Swan 49 then a Swan 59. Brings back memories.
Ahhh congrats guys! Can't wait to see where you go from here :) We're back at Scarborough until next season so let us know if you ever need a hand with anything :)
Wonderful video. You've done everything right, congrats! You'll have the time of your life on that yacht. Loved your excitement, loved your history and step by step advancement on the water. You're truly a great example to everyone! Cheers 🍻🍻
Great question: firstly, we called up a few different companies and sent them a copy of the survey. Club Marine got back to us saying they would insure us but we have some repairs to do within 90 days and we have to be south of Gladstone (to avoid cyclone season) hope that helps! ☺️
Please do not take that boat off shore. They were not built for it. Coastal cruising is fine. You have a bolt on keel attached to a weak gird plus an unprotected rudder. If you strike an half submerged can or something similar that boat will open up like dropping a wine glass on the deck. Use it to learn the life, then move on to a real ocean going boat if that is your goal. Like an earlier writer noted the Corbin 39 was a better choice. Too often new buyers look at boats like they look at condos. How much space for the buck? That is not the proper question. What is: How are we going to use the vessel, and is she built for that purpose? Good luck and fair winds.
Thank you for your comment, I probably should have said this in the video but we’re planning to have this as our first boat then IF we like this lifestyle we will look for a blue water boat that’s suited for offshore sailing ☺️
No offense meant, but you would have been a lot better off buying the first boat. You have a beautiful boat, but sounds like you are desiring traveling the world by sailboat, aka, crossing oceans and I can tell you from experence, the first boat would have been better for ya. The young, including myself 20 years ago, are so impatient. Just want to go sailing. Understandable, but what is overlooked is the most important thing a captain needs to know besides when to stay in port, is his boat and the boatyard is the best place to get to know his boat....a boatyard that allows you to do your own work. So many these days they don't :(
Thank you for your advice. We are learning so much as we go! The Corbin was a beautiful boat but we wouldn’t have been able to afford the amount of repairs it needed. We can always upgrade to a blue water boat further down the track 😜
If your not doing anything ambitious this will be fine and simple enough to not cost you your cruising budget in repairs . Horses for courses. It's good roomy comfortable boat.
Most sailors would prefer to be sailing, not stuck in a boat yard. You don’t learn how to sail on the hard. Best not to buy a project boat as your first boat. So many rookies make that mistake and they never end up touching water!
@@cazac73 It's so much safer to know your boat so when you are learning to sail and things go wrong you can do something about it, then to not know your boat when you are learning to sail and things go wrong and you can't do anything about it, especially when many newbies bite off more than they can chew and take off on a multi-day trip.
Not sure why but your video has all your transcript text across the screen. It makes it very hard to watch. Good luck with your Sun Legende though. Malcolm - Jeanneau Owners

Absolutely awesome. So inspiring! Tom and I will always come on as deckhands if you need any!
Yes please, let us know if you guys are ever in Australia 😍
Its a very nice boat. Dont be put off by the ‘blue water brigade’. I wish you all the best.

Good boat. Very capable.
Congratulations 🎉 I'm sure with your ingenuity and spirit you will make it work out for you. 😊
I'm looking forward to following along. :)
Thank you so much! 😊

Great choice…..You will be happy with this choice as your first boat

Hey neighbor 👋
@@kayleighbrown Howdy!
Ah lads, I'm jealous, I'd love a Jeanneau! Best of luck, can't wait for the next episode!
Thanks Nessy!
Subbed and look forward to your next video 👍👍
Thank you!
I just finished a refit on a 1991 Sun Odyssey 44, a very similar boat.
Wow! That’s fantastic, what was your refit like?
How Awesome, next episode please
Thanks for watching!
😎😁😎😁
Did you find out it needed a new teak deck from a survey?
No, but there was a few small holes appearing which was enough to scare us off!
How did you go getting insurance? Im finding it very difficult.
