Self-sufficiency onboard Outremer 51 VAST with Maren & Matthias

In order for Maren & Matthias to be able to live and work independently on their Outremer 51 VAST, they primarily need sufficient electricity and drinking water. How do they do it, off the grid and surrounded by the salty sea? That's what this video is all about. - Maren, founder of VAST FORWARD and her husband Matthias have been living and working on board a sailing boat since 2015. Purely seen from a management point of view, this works because VAST FORWARD has been structured 100% remotely since it was founded. - "Living and working on board" sounds almost too good to be true, romantic, the ideal and the dream of many people. Maren and Matthias also love independence, the freedom for which they gave up their old life in Hamburg, swapped the apartment for a swaying deck, the car for two folding bikes, suit and costume for webcam, router and microphone. As always, there is more than one price to pay for such a step - and in addition to very good preparation, living and working on board also means dealing with terms such as "off grid" and "autarchy" and having to learn about their own water and energy consumption. Living and working on board means taking a front row seat when it comes to sustainability, resources and nature. _Find out more about "sustainable" initiatives @Outremer on our blog: https://catamaran-outremer.com/en/the-blog/ _And/or follow Maren & Matthias here: http://instagram.com/vastfloating/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZrL3frqC_VA9RVo1JgjaJQ http://vast-floating.com
