Day three of my latest Sailing Lifestyle Experience. We're sailing from the deserted island of Ile Forchue to St Barth's. We've had a lot of wind this week, but that's giving my guests more confidence than if it had been smooth sailing. Nothing beats this lifestyle! Join me for a week of sailing in paradise: https://sailingbritican.com/liveaboard-experience/ #learntosail #catamaranlife #learntosaillovetosail #learntosailholidays #sailinglife #catamaransailing

Hey guys, I’ve just finished editing this reel/video - which took surprisingly long to edit since I had to squeeze 21 days on the hard into a 1-minute video! 🤪🙈😅 Of course, this video only covers the surface; I’ll go into more detail when I’m uploading the long-format YouTube episode. 😅 As you can see, I’ve decided to repaint my whole boat since I didn’t like the old paint at all. It was grey, there were darker patches everywhere to cover up who knows what, and the YouTube logo that the previous owner painted on was something I just didn’t want on my boat since I personally like simple and clean lines. So now, Sirocco looks brand new and has her name neatly sitting on the bow and stern, and I added my home port of Berlin to the stern of my boat as well, which I’m very proud of (and just realized that I didn’t film the stern at all). 🙈🤪😂 The other jobs included not only the cleaning of the propeller or the new antifoul - I actually had to strip down the old antifoul completely back to the gel coat, to be able to check out a potential patch of delamination that my surveyor informed me about when he surveyed my boat. Unfortunately, the delamination was confirmed by a fiberglass and gel coat mechanic that I hired in Grenada. He actually found another big area of gel coat that was damaged on my keel - which probably happened when the previous owner hit the ground (and promised me that he had it fixed professionally but it didn’t look that way). The mechanic then fixed it and applied the brand new antifoul - so it was altogether way more expensive than the usual annual haul out (and took triple as long as planned) but it had to be done and I’m happy about the results! What do you think - doesn’t Sirocco look fabulous now? 😉🥰⛵️ Cheers guys, Kristina

You might be wondering: why mention the airport? What’s so special about it? Well, here’s why. Skiathos, a Greec island at the Sporades islands in the North-West of the Aegan sea, is a relatively small island, yet it has an international airport. And that is exactly what makes it so spectacular. The runway is short and squeezed in between the sea and the built-up area. As a result, aircraft have to approach extremely low. From the water – especially when you’re in the harbour – you see the plane coming straight at you. It flies low over the harbour, sometimes so low that you think it might clip your mast, and then immediately hits the brakes as soon as it touches down on the runway. The first time we experienced this, it really startled us. You hear the sound, look up… and suddenly there’s an aircraft right above you. You rarely see planes flying this low. First there’s a moment of shock, then laughter, and after that you find yourself watching every single landing again 😉. For plane spotters, Skiathos has by now become world-famous. People stand along the road or on the beach to take photos and videos of the landings. We made a video too.

► Full test in Multihulls World N°173: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/lagoon-sixty-5-life-at-sea-better-than-in-a-hotel ► This model is the sailing version of the SIXTY 7 powercat, but also the little sister of the much-noticed SEVENTY 7 - this one a sailboat. The Lagoon shipyard is thus confirming its appetite for the market of models exceeding 65 feet (20 meters), that until now had been the preserve of Sunreef - on the (almost) series production multihull market of course. During our tests, the SIXTY 5 impressed us with her performance and comfort. The manufacturer offers a wide range of semi-custom finishes. And yes, the capital letters are de rigueur here… ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Lagoon Architects: VPLP Length overall: 67’5” (20.55 m) Beam: 32’10” (10 m) Draft: 5’4” (1.6 m) Light displacement: 86,420 lbs (39.2 t) Mainsail: 1,808 sq ft (168 m²) Genoa: 1,097 sq ft (102 m²) Spi: 3,875 sq ft (360 m²) Cabins 4/5/6 Water: 264 US gal (1,000 l) Diesel: 340 US gal (1,300 l) Engines: 2 x 150/195 HP ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
