I arrived just after Gone with the Wynns had posted their last video with their stray current issues, hence I've managed to include some detail about that. I've also shown not only our boat by also hull number 1 of the HH52's, just to get an idea of the finishes etc that we can expect. As part of this trip I also spent time in Thailand working on our new lightweight carbon tender, which is going to be a next level tender - exciting. We plan to be in production with these early 2025. This shows the prototype tender.

We just had 3 weeks sailing aboard Greedy Guts, our friends new Neel 43 trimaran. We sailed from Porto in Portugal down the coast to Mazagon in Spain. Great fun trip!

This was my second visit to the factory and Deb's first. It was a super worthwhile trip for us to work through details and understand more. Once again we were extremely well looked after by the team at HH Catamarans!

Super fun day out sledding in Revelstoke. Dave suggested I take the most powerful snow mobile for my first day ever. It was totally nuts riding an 850cc Turbo sled with 180hp in a 200kg machine. Super fun, slightly terrifying. Big thanks to Dave for the totally wild experience.

What a magic day yesterday after a week of non-stop riding powder, this was a day of carving groomers with Riley.

Super tough conditions for the 2023 freestyle at the Windsurfer Worlds in Perth. Wind ranging from about 10 knots to 25 knots in the gusts! This is a handful of the tricks mashed together.

I've just flown over to Xiamen, China to see our boat which is in construction. Lots of decisions to be made and a huge amount learned. The factory is huge! 40,000m2 inside the buildings and 25 boats under construction - wow.

This was a closed road hill climb (we did high speed up and down six times).

4 days of riding, laughs and good times with old mates. We rode Cascades from Lake Mountain to Marysville on day 1, Lysterfield Park on day 2, You Yangs on day 3 and the back of Daylesford / Hepburn Springs on Day 4. What a great adventure.

This is my third visit to Bathurst on the Lotus Only Track Day. It's a super fun day on one of the most epic tracks in the world. This is a full session (I did 5 sessions for the day).

This was my best lap at Bathurst this year while doing the Lotus Only Track Day for the 3rd time. Getting quicker, but plenty more still to learn!

This was one full session in my Lotus Exige 430 Cup FE at Phillip Island, lap 5 was my quickest with a 1.46.16 or if I look at the data, then a rolling lap of 1.45.84. Getting quicker!

This lap was 1.20.24 which was my best for the day.

This was one of the 15 minute sessions during the Charity Drive Day event in September 2022, driving my Lotus Exige 430 Cup at Phillip Island circuit. Quite a few 1.46 laps that day, but I just couldn't crack 1.45......

After looking at both monohulls and catamarans in the 50 - 55 foot range at the Cannes Boat Show, we made our choice of which boat to buy. We did a lot of online research then decided all the boats of interest would be at the Cannes Festival of Sails, hence we flew over from Australia to do our hands on research. We're looking for a new boat to cruise the world in as a couple with family and friends joining us along the way. Having cruised the equivalent of 2 laps of the globe and with over 10 years of living on boats, we had pretty strong views on what we did and didn't like. We decided we liked the idea of a catamaran, but didn't want to give us on the luxuries we'd had on our Discovery 55 (which was a high end mono hull). We then we're looking for the best of the cats and really short listed it to the Outremer 55 and the HH52 by HH Catamarans.

This is a walk through of the Outremer 55 which was high up on our short list of boats to buy. This boat ended up as our runner up as our next boat to sail around the world in.

HH Catamarans had a model of the HH52 at Cannes. We found this really helpful to see given that the first of these is yet to be built. The lines and layout look fantastic!!!! Love it.

This is our walkthrough of the HH50 catamaran at the Cannes Boat Show. We really liked this boat, but felt it was a bit dated. The new HH52 with this boats quality and finish together with modern styling and tech made sense.
