Where were they going without ever knowing the way? That's a good question! Looking back on our past experiences with cruising sailboats, we always find ourselves in trouble while enjoying a glass of sangria in the Azores and Canary Islands. In 2014, after making our first Atlantic Ocean crossing from Miami to Horta (Faial), we got to talking about an aluminum boat that could one day take us to the Arctic. We had high hopes, and lots of delusions, that we could complete a 9 month full refit on this hunk of metal that had been abandoned in Southern Florida for 10 years. 2.5 years after moving her from storage to the work yard (and that was after crossing BACK across the Atlantic to return on our first cruising boat to Florida), we did splash the Alu boat and head out for a grand adventure. Completing our goal of sailing her into the Arctic Circle, we had been wintering over in the UK when we decided to escape the cold for a few weeks and take advantage of incredibly cheap flights to Tenerife. Think $140 round trip. Sitting in a Montaditos, we discussed how poor the aluminum boat was at sailing, and how much we missed the performance cruiser of our previous Sabre. But...multihulls were the future, and honestly, I was tired of getting seasick from every passage we went on. Mart had hopes for another refit, but I was adamant that the kind of time and effort we'd have to dedicate would be much better spent on a new build. We researched home builds and were eventually contacted by Max Cruise in the process. Once again delusions took over as we thought we could complete this build in 2 years. As you can see, we're already well past that, with at least another year on the horizon. Would I change ANYTHING about the steps we've taken in the past or where it has lead us now? Absolutely not. This is exactly where I'm supposed to be in my life, and when this catamaran does hit the water, I know I'll be filled with nothing but pride and joy. 🤩⛵

Quem gosta de festa levanta a mão! 🙋‍♀️ E quando junta com veleiro fica ainda mais divertido. Por isso, abriremos vagas pra tripulação que quiser acompanhar a chegada dos veleiros da @theoceanrace aqui em Itajaí. 💵R$600,00/pessoa 🚨VAGAS LIMITADAS 🗓️Previsão de chegada das equipes 01/04. Podendo ser alguns dias antes ou depois. Lhe informaremos a data correta mais próximo do dia. A the ocean race é a maior regata (corrida de veleiros) do mundo e acontece desde de 1973. Os barcos literalmente dão a volta ao mundo e tem como a maior e mais difícil etapa chegar até Itajaí, a única parada na América Latina. São cerca de 12 mil milhas náuticas (23 mil km) somente nessa etapa da prova, que sai de Cabo Verde - África do Sul e chega em Itajaí. Mas engana-se quem pensa que eles farão o trajeto mais curto que seria atravessar o atlântico, eles virão pelo outro lado, passando pelo oceano Índico, pacífico e finalmente chegando ao Atlântico. Dos 5, 4 veleiros continuam na disputa. O GUYOT(EUR) teve um problema estrutural e precisou suspender temporariamente há cerca de 600 milhas de Cabo Verde. Já da pra imaginar a emoção dessa chegada, né? Vem com a gente ⛵
