In this episode, I sit down with **Sea Ox Sailing** to talk about life aboard their **Jeanneau 39i**, what they’ve learned cruising as a couple, and why they’re now thinking about making the jump from a monohull to a **catamaran**.

We get into what the Jeanneau 39i is actually like to own and sail, what they love about the boat, and what’s pushing them toward a bigger cruising catamaran. If you’re researching a **Jeanneau 39i**, looking for an affordable cruising sailboat, or wondering whether a catamaran might eventually make sense for you, there’s a lot to unpack here.

We also dive into **learning how to sail**, sailing schools, and the differences between **ASA sailing courses and RYA sailing courses**. Do you actually need formal sailing lessons? Which certification makes the most sense? And how much of becoming a capable sailor comes from classes versus simply getting out there and gaining experience?

We also talk about the less glamorous side of boat ownership, including keeping track of maintenance, upgrades, receipts, equipment, and the history of your sailboat. That leads us into a conversation about **VesselBook** and why having a permanent record of your boat can make ownership, maintenance, and eventually selling a boat a whole lot easier.

Whether you're looking at a **Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39i**, dreaming about buying a cruising catamaran, trying to decide between **ASA vs RYA**, researching sailing schools, or just figuring out how to start cruising, this conversation covers a little bit of everything that happens between buying your first sailboat and wondering what the next boat might be.

Check out **Sea Ox Sailing on YouTube** to follow their Jeanneau 39i adventures and see where the move toward a catamaran takes them.

And if you're a sailor, tell me in the comments: **Would you rather cruise on a 39-foot monohull or make the jump to a catamaran?**
