Fantastic video Okelleys! The Outremere marketing folks must be pinching themselves to think they’ve signed up for over 100,000 people to watch 20 minutes of content that’s so heavily focused on their product. Of course the quality of your content, production value, curated vignettes of you two charming people sums up your brand. As always I’m SO impressed, thank you!
You two make the perfect ambassadors to tackle a project of this size. The awesome responsibility is not lost on me, but I have faith in your abilities to not only pull this off, but to do it with a pinch of grace. Looking forward to the education.
This makes me so happy to see you both back on the water! My wife and I can't wait to see all the new adventures with this cat! One day we'll be out there too!
Oh my - epic journey here! This reminds me of my days working with large project contractors (i.e. interstate highways, dams, etc.) when the project owner announces which general contractor will be awarded the contract.... it's a moment of "Yea man, we cot the job", to then privately "Holy XXX, we got the job"! So excited for you two and all the Outremer team! Safe travels, and Happy Holidays!
Wow, what an exciting and crazy plan for this Outremer 55! You two are the perfect ambassadors for this project, and I have complete faith in your abilities to handle it with grace. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures with us all!
Seeing more detailed views of the interior, this yacht screams quality wherever I look. Very impressed. Everything appears to be top-notch and placed in the perfect location. I can see why there's such a vast Outremer customer base and demand for their yachts. They earned their great reputation. Congrats once more and enjoy the holiday season!
I've been watching you for years. I think you know what you're doing so the only advice I can offer is keep the dry side up. Glad you getting back in the water. lrg
This is a fantastic learning opportunity for us too. What a beautiful boat. This definitely showcases outremers professionlism and commitment to their boats!! 😀👍 Have a very happy christmas.
This was by far one of the best videos you have made. It’s your new style and the way you guys are taking the shots. The well constructed clips, insight, and information. It gave me a sense I was with you while doing the test sail. Now you don’t have to make them this amazing the time. Because it’s becomes the new normal and makes your life harder.
_WOW!_ Probably one of your BEST episodes since the Chris White encounters. That must have been a major labor of love to edit. Keep on keeping on. Fair winds!
A New race car! But so much more! And the challenge of a crossing to make it humm. The WOW factor is over the top. 🎉 I Am waiting for the numbers and the adventure!
I am so happy for both of you! They couldn’t have picked a better set of people to partner with! What an awesome humbling surreal experience this must be for you O’kelly’s! I am so looking forward to the watching the journey ahead from you guys.
How wonderful for Outremer to recognize that they lost a lot of visibility when SLV moved to Rapido. All the major cat builders are on a major YT channel. Matthieu and team made a great choice in selecting a channel that will bring back the visibility to the crown jewel of the Outremer line. I know you 2 will do a great job promoting the quality and capabilities of the boat.
Beautiful boat and just excellent video shots of the time on water. Very high quality film. I hope you end up finding a way to own this boat! Would be hard to go back to a smaller older Catamaran after this experience I would think.
Wow - you guys must still be pinching yourselves. What a beautiful and amazing craft...! And for you guys to get first hand access to all the Outremer experts, not to mention lessons from the head honcho - an opportunity of a lifetime ! I can't wait to follow all your adventures over the coming year. 🎄Merry Xmas and here's to 'Exciting Times' in 2024...
Thanks for another awesome video. I can’t imagine the challenge of videoing while trying to absorb all the information and knowledge about the boat. You both do such a great job! Looking forward to experiencing the journey with you. Hope you make it to the show!
Thanks for a brief tour of the boat and summary of the running rigging. All seems pretty well thought out and functional. 14:23 LOVED the visual cues from the wake of correctly vs incorrectly balancing boat trim. You guys have so much experience PLUS a healthy attitude for learning that you should have no problem getting a lot out a performance boat. Enjoy, and thanks for bringing us along! Definitely looking forward to the videos along the way. Having Starlink for permanent Internet must be a huge plus too.
The joy of of learning a new boat, just bursts out of you two, outremer does a awesome job on teaching, training new sailors, you have a learning curve, and outremer shows the way, only thing i dont like, is the galley up, but hey its your adventure, and im hoping to see tons of more of your discovery on this boat
I like your analogy. lol. Those of us who have lived rural and then moved to the city know that they each have their charms and there can be a yearning no matter. It’s what they bring out in you. Our fixers have made us better mechanics, electricians, canvas makers, etc. This boat will make us better sailors and we’ve already learned a ton about integrated systems, but I won’t be rewiring or doing any mods on this boat. There’s good fun in those too. So, will she spoil us for anything less than the best? I guess, maybe. Or maybe we carry our new knowledge into another fixer someday. Hard to say. Life is one great experiment!
I've never even considered going to the Miami boat show until now. Just seeing you guys and Moonshot would be worth the price of admission. Hope you can keep the ambitious schedule.
Yes, intimidating…yes or at least that’s the right perspective to have. It’s like flying a fast airplane…anticipate, be procedural, trust the numbers, and stay ahead of it. That being said, we had her out in real wind yesterday, and we didn’t have a spooky moment. Just a lot to learn about systems and handling. We’ll get there.
It’s been a long time since experiencing turning off the engines and just feeling the wind, but it’s a strong memory and a very relaxing one, so fully understand your comment Nick. I bet you can’t wait to get out on your own. Happy adventures. Donate for a Dream
Great to see you on Outremer! I guess you may leave LGM just before we arrive there. Our O52 "No Regrets" is probably moored on same pontoon with your boat at the moment, as we have our handover scheduled for Jan 16th.
Would be great to meet you, but hoping we are gone by then. Good luck with handover. We’ve been getting the owner treatment and they’ve been all-pro. You’ve got a lovely boat!
See you at the Miami Boat Show (I wish...) I won't be there unfortunately but you guys sure will. Wish you all the best. You 2 are a Major inspiration! I wish I could join you as crew on this amazing journey.
Great to you see sailing. Enjoyed the information about balance. I've learned the that range of sail set and wind is pretty broad. It's not hard to look like a sailboat. It's the dialing it to the sweet spot where a lot of the magic happens. What an amazing boat. It will be interesting to see how you do in heavy weather. And I think Outremer found its best ambassadors.
You’re too kind. Yes, there is no substitute for experience, but good instruction can save a lot of time and headaches. We’re getting it and we will need more to get to and stay in that sweet spot. Hoping we don’t get a chance to see really heavy weather. Can be tricky in winter.
If you wake up and your face is sore,,,,it’s just from smiling all day ! Merry Christmas good luck good health and good fortune to you and everyone you care. Peace on earth and ocean
I'm glad to hear they're sending the 6 technicians with you on the crossing so that you two can get some well deserved R&R along the way! I picture relaxing days of Megan doing yoga and making keto burgers and Nick jamming some electric guitar on the fore deck while the dolphins jump in time to the music.
Okay, I didn't get that from the video but it makes a LOT more sense now. The way you guys were talking on the video it almost sounded like your shakedown cruise was going to be across the Atlantic. Yowza!
oh man!.....Im happy for you two. I'm with your excitement as we are in the process to purchase our first boat FINALLY.. I can't wait to to enjoy the experience of your crossing.!!
Have to say, as a sailor and someone that has put their boat away for the winter, your sail and chat right after had me pumped to go for a sail. Too bad the boat is on on the hard. Thanks for a great video and happy holidays. 🇨🇦
Fantastic catamaran and congrats guys! The O55 was on our short list and it's about at the pinnacle modern performance cats these days. Hope to get the chance to say hi at the Miami boat show, hope you have a great holiday!
Some months back I sent you a comment in witch I that i said that a boat would come to you. Well it looks like it has happened and it is far more than I could have imagined. I know it is not yours yet but Lord willing it will be or one just like it. May life keep blessing you in the coming year
I'm currently building Howard Chapelle's Dutch Utility Scow, from his Boatbuilding book, and I'm doing the cabin layout for an envisioned 2+ year voyage of The Great Loop by oar and sail, Your opening dream sequence, showing us the livability engine of this ultimate product placement captured my imagination (already I'm incorporating a few of its ideas!). It's very much French, Le Corbusier is definitely in her philosophical lineage..
@@TheOKellys the honey badger is wondering when these fancy people might make it to the Caribbean. The honey badger lives in the Caribbean and sure wouldn't mind a tour
Wow, your first sail is going to be a transatlantic crossing in winter. OMG, you will be in my thoughts everyday for the next two months hoping that all goes well. All the best.
This is so awesome. You two are such an inspiring couple. I have booked my second bvi bareboat in May as skipper on a 47 foot monohull but 2025 could be a cat thanks to your experiences. Thank you!
Great to see Matthieu on YT again. Love that guy 🙌🏼

lol, yeh that’s good advice!
Wow, that’s so cool. Outremer always looks amazing with their prep & support teams.
Absolutlu WOW. This is a Machine, she fly on the sea. You are the best ambassadors for Outremer 55. Have fun my friends. Sincerely, Jean.
This is a fantastic learning opportunity for us too. What a beautiful boat. This definitely showcases outremers professionlism and commitment to their boats!! 😀👍 Have a very happy christmas.

Love the energy of that Orange Sail!
Love the permanent smiles plastered on your faces. Congratulations. Merry Christmas.
Happy holidays!
Yay!! Super excited for your voyage!! Have a wonderful time!
You are both lucky ( Outremer and O’Kelly’s) you’ll ace it great Ambassadors 👏

Looks like you're back in your happy place!
Thanks for the tour.

You guys have so much experience PLUS a healthy attitude for learning that you should have no problem getting a lot out a performance boat.

You’ve seen the bright lights of the big city now.
How will you ever even consider going back to the farm???
She’s a beauty!❣️

What a magnificent yacht. A lot of complexity though. She must be very intimidating. What a fantastic opportunity.
Yes, intimidating…yes or at least that’s the right perspective to have. It’s like flying a fast airplane…anticipate, be procedural, trust the numbers, and stay ahead of it. That being said, we had her out in real wind yesterday, and we didn’t have a spooky moment. Just a lot to learn about systems and handling. We’ll get there.

C’est magnifique! Oooooooou-remer!!!
Happy sailing and safe passage. I am so looking forward to the next video, and the next, and the next…🤩
Thanks Jay. Magnifique indeed!
Beautiful shots with perfect music!
Godspeed!
Super excited to see you doing shakedown and sailing trials in this awesome new machine. Your Atlantic crossing should be quite a ride, enjoy!
Appreciate you showing the problem and the suggested fixes for sailing. Go Nick!
It’s been a long time since experiencing turning off the engines and just feeling the wind, but it’s a strong memory and a very relaxing one, so fully understand your comment Nick. I bet you can’t wait to get out on your own. Happy adventures.

just a little....lol!
Brilliant to see you starting the next adventure. She lloks like a fantastic boat and a great opportunity to sail her across the Atlantic. Have fun...
I'm so excited for you all I can't wait.

@@IainMcClatchie , I was joking. I have no idea if anyone's coming along, but I'm certain the 6 technicians are not.

Roll out the Red Carpet treatment; simply marvelous! Outremer Rocks!!

It´s going to be a great adventure.
Looks like we are in for really fun ride, I cant wait. wish I was on board with you guys
You will be! But without the night watches...lol
This is so exciting to see you sailing again. Definitely looking forward to future videos and safe sailing… Thanks for sharing:-)
Dat's gonna be some boat!
Congrats guys - Outremer will ultimately gift you a boat as you are super ambassadors
That is one sexy work of art you two are sailing! I can't wait to see what adventures it takes you on.
Like a condo! You guys deserve this and not only we’re chosen but also positioned. More yoga! Lol! God bless Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎉.
Awesome, just awesome! Happy sailing across the Atlantic!

Yep, highly recommend that course of action. We are putting together a plan to do this safely. Stay tuned.
