La sveglia suona e qualcosa va issato. Pensavamo a una vela e invece issiamo Alessandro. Quotidiana amministrazione, è salito a sistemare una drizza che in questi giorni fa i capricci. Iniziamo al pc, in un ufficio senza spazio e senza tempo. È facile dimenticarsi della vita sulla terraferma quando passi tanto tempo in un’isola che non ha radici ma ali. Pur continuando a essere presenti al pc, in questa traversa il nostro effort lavorativo è diminuito, per scelta. Oggi dovrebbe essere l’ultimo giorno di bonaccia, prima di agganciare il vento. Il pomeriggio scorre tra letture, scritture e chiacchiere. Niente pesci, ahimè. Il blu gennaker si amalgama a meraviglia con il blu dell’oceano e l’azzurro del cielo. Il blu, il colore che calma, dicono. A bordo di Julia non potrebbe essere più vero. Un blu che entra negli occhi e nel cuore, un blu che si imprime nell’anima. Buon blu a tutti 💙

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.

We sail on the good ship Saracen, a Beneteau Oceanis 473 from 2006. Out journey started in Scotland in early 2023 and our ultimate goal is to sail around the globe …..slowly. We make these videos mostly for family and friends and to create a record of our adventures for ourselves so that we can look back at them later in life, were not in it to make money (way to hard).
