- Dunkerque to Cherbourg. It took us 36 hours to move our home 185 nautical miles — almost entirely under sail, with the engine running for just 3 hours 🎉 Living on a sailboat means home is wherever we drop anchor… or dock in a new marina. The view changes, the neighbors drift by, but the creaking of the rig, the warmth of our tiny galley, and the sound of Anker snoring on the floor – that’s our constant ✨ And that’s something Signe, especially, has been longing for — after moving almost every year since childhood, changing addresses like seasons. Together we’ve moved five times in the last six years. So having a home that stays with us, wherever we go, brings a sense of calm we’ve both been craving. We’re not just traveling. We’re taking our home with us, one nautical mile at a time. ⛵💙

*Please Note : This video was shot towards the end of production so not everything shown in the video has been finished to Columbia Yachts usual high standard. "Columbia Yachts has developed a lifting drive system for the Columbia Carbon 32. The system features a 3-blade fixed prop connected to a Yanma diesel inboard engine. The drive system retracts completely into the hull and is completely water tight and isolated from the interior of the boat. The advantage of this system is that it reduces drag making the boat faster."
