We are Ziggy and Nat, a couple who not so long ago knew nothing about sailing. Fast forward few years and we are proud to say we know a thing or two about sailing, we bought a boat and now we are refitting that boat with a plan to leave the life we know behind. The RYA Start Yachting was our first course. We loved it and wanted more. At that time we had no idea how big the community of boaters is. We met fantastic people on each and every course we did. For the first time since we moved to the UK we felt like we were part of something. The sailing community was welcoming, friendly and so inspiring. We found a lifestyle we knew we wanted for ourselves. We bought Squalo a 1981 Oyster 39”, the day after our Yachtmaster Offshore exam. She ticked so many boxes of things we wanted from a blue water cruiser. But she was neglected, and although we had no experience in boat refit, “surely, it can’t be that difficult.” we thought. So here we are. Putting blood, sweat and at times even tears into our yacht Squalo. Because not only she will be a vessel taking us to the most remote places on earth.. she will become our floating home for many years to come. We are documenting our experiences during the refit and sharing this journey with others.

Traversata oceanica Giorno 9 di navigazione L’oceano ci dà il benvenuto in un modo che ancora non avevamo mai visto. Una foschia rossa ci accoglie al nostro ingresso in oceano e da lì non ci lascia più. Il tocco rosso di questa sabbia africana macchia ogni cosa, dal gelcoat alle cime, ai telefoni dimenticati all’aria per qualche minuto. La visibilità è pessima. Infatti non vediamo a mezzo miglio di distanza. Il vento è teso, le onde alte. Quella di oggi sarebbe dovuta essere una partenza in pompa magna, invece è stata molto silenziosa. Camminiamo in punta di piedi ormai da un mese in cerca di una terra che ci sta facendo sudare come non mai. Il mio caro Ulisse, del quale ho letto con passione la trilogia (di Manfredi) lo sa bene. L’emozione di lungo viaggio è solo la punta dell’iceberg e noi, qui, proviamo a comunicarlo ogni giorno. Perciò eccoci qui. Siamo partiti. Davanti a noi 2000 miglia. Siamo pronti. 💪

This Yacht is for Sale: https://bit.ly/nautistyles Follow Us Building an Explorer Yacht @NautiGuys https://bit.ly/3yPe1Z5 We have been following the growth of this Turkish Shipyard for a while and it's very exciting to see such an amazing result. We were really impressed by the quality of this build, the finishes, and the layout. We picked up a few cool features for our NBBbL (New Bigger Boat Build List lol) and loved many interior choices. Rico was also VERY impressed with the layout and space in the Engine Room. We are excited to take you on board and can't wait to hear what you all think. Enjoy the Tour!
