LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT 🔔 Watch next: ▶️ The Four Design Flaws That May Sink Your Boat - https://youtu.be/1Pts63seZYY Most people shopping for a catamaran never ask the dangerous questions. They compare layouts, finishes, and brochure numbers. But after losing our own boat, we stopped trusting marketing — and started pulling designs apart. In our last episode, we revealed 50+ features that make the Portofino 52 aluminium catamaran radically different from most production boats. It sparked a huge debate. So in this episode, we answer the questions everyone actually wants answered: • How much does the Portofino 52 really cost? • What’s included — and what’s optional? • What will it truly weigh when ready to cruise? • How fast will it sail in the real world? • Are these safety systems worth it — or just expensive complexity? We dive deep into real-world cruising performance, weight management, boom furling, lithium battery fire safety, system complexity, and why aluminium construction fundamentally changes offshore safety and comfort. This is not a sponsored review. We receive no commissions, no kickbacks, and no incentives of any kind. With 50+ years of combined sailing experience and 60,000+ offshore miles, we explain why displacement matters more than draft, what “comfortable speed” really means at sea, and why abandoning ship should never be the default plan. We also compare the Portofino 52 on price and design philosophy against other serious expedition catamarans including Garcia, McConaghy, and Kinetic, and explain why many production boats still carry design risks that matter if you’re crossing oceans. There are still unknowns — and we’re honest about them. We’ll share final sailing weight, performance numbers, and long-term reliability as this boat hits the water. If you’re planning serious cruising, offshore passages, or choosing your next catamaran — this conversation matters.

That is the question number one I have heard in my trip. And don’t expect any magical answer. I work and use my money wisely. Sorry to disappoint you but the biggest trick about traveling long term is learning how to save and spending as less as possible in every major cost. I volunteer, I use couchsurfing, I hitchhike, I camp, I cook my food, but in the end of the equation you will always need a bit of money to pay visas, cover your entertainment and not starve on the road. After working for a year in Austrália and New Zealand I traveled 2 years without working. Thanks for watching! ————— Como você consegue se sustentar viajando pelo mundo? Essa é a pergunta número um para todos os viajantes de longa duração. E não espere nenhuma resposta mágica. Eu trabalho e uso meu dinheiro com sabedoria. Desculpe desapontá-lo, mas o maior truque sobre viajar a longo prazo é aprender a economizar e gastar o mínimo possível em todos os principais custos. Sou voluntário, uso o couchsurfing, peço carona, acampo, cozinho minha comida, mas no final da equação você sempre precisará de um pouco de dinheiro para pagar vistos, cobrir seu entretenimento e não passar fome na estrada. Depois de trabalhar por um ano na Austrália e na Nova Zelândia, viajei 2 anos sem trabalhar.
