9.8 knots yesterday afternoon while out sailing on this vintage sailboat! I know many of you have been much faster on a sailboat, but this was my fastest ever. The beautiful, long lines on this 43 foot 1963 Sparkman and Stephens helped get us up to speed. We were blowing past other boats! 😄 If two sailboats are going in the same direction, it's a race!

Is this the biggest wave ever ridden by a teenager? We had the pleasure of hanging out with @Maddix_Alotis for a week on the north shore of Hawaii. He’s too humble to say it but I’m pretty certain this is the biggest wave ever ridden by a teenager. Dropped the full version here on my channel. Can we get him an unlimited supply of redbull or something for this effort? What do you think? #notaredbulladvert

Would you navigate the shallowest turquoise lagoons of the Bahamas or test your speed across the open Pacific? Rate this yacht from 1–5 stars and comment below! Seawind 1600 © Seawind Catamarans Length overall: 16.10 m or 52 ft 8 in Beam: 8.10 m or 26 ft 6 in Draft (boards up/down): 0.60 m or 2 ft 1 in to 2.60 m or 8 ft 6 in Displacement: 14,400 kg or 31,700 lb Engines: 2 x 57 hp to 80 hp Fuel capacity: 750 L or 200 US gal Water capacity: 658 L or 174 US gal Mainsail area: 100 m² or 1,080 sq ft Cabins: 3-4 Berths: 6-10 persons The Seawind 1600 is the high-performance flagship of the Australian brand, designed by world-renowned naval architects Reichel/Pugh to deliver exceptional ocean-crossing speeds without compromising live-aboard comfort. Built with advanced vacuum-infused composites including carbon fiber and Kevlar reinforcement, this 52-foot catamaran offers the structural rigidity needed for blue water sailing. A defining technical feature is the fully retractable daggerboards and rudders, which allow for windward precision when deployed and a remarkably shallow 2-foot draft for beaching and thin-water exploration. The deck layout features protected twin helm stations that provide 360-degree visibility while keeping the skipper sheltered under the hardtop bimini. Unlike traditional open-concept catamarans, the 1600 utilizes a two-step transition into a cozy, light-filled saloon that features a forward-facing navigation station and a massive U-shaped galley. With a high-aspect fractional rig and all control lines led aft for short-handed management, the 1600 is engineered for couples seeking a fast, balanced, and safe platform for global circumnavigation. A new factory build typically starts at 1.5 million US dollars. #Seawind1600 #SailingCatamaran #BlueWaterCruiser #HarbourMasters

Securing our luck with an ingot before stepping the mast—a cherished sailing ritual! Our friend Harold, gave us this ingot for good luck. We placed it under the mast. We are new sailors and if you dig the journey, we would love you to join us on our blog: https://gypseaexplorer.com/ Thank you for being here! Cheers From Me & The Kiwi--Heather & Chris!
