Systems Overload on #Outremer 52 (Ep.8) #sailing

Comprehensive Systems Training for our Outremer 52 Catamaran 🌊 Welcome back to our channel, where dive into the training on all of the systems for our Outremer 52 performance catamaran. Join us as we learn first hand about all the necessary (and not so necessary) boat systems we will be using and maintaining on our sailboat. 🔹 Navigation and Electronics: Join us at the navigation station as we learn about all the electronics that will guide us through better decisions as we circumnavigate. From navigation and route planning to instruments, radar and communication systems. 🔹 Electricity and Power: We learned how to best manage power without a generator including use of lithium batteries, solar, and a Watt&Sea hydrogenerator. 🔹 Plumbing: We learned how the plumbing systems works and how to troubleshoot (and prevent) nasty problems. 🔹 Sail Tactics: We learned more about how to manage heavy wind conditions so we can sail with confidence with safety is a top priority.

We are Holly and Stephane 🇺🇸🇫🇷 We have made the transition from full-time software professionals from the SF Bay Area to liveaboard sailing explorers who always keep one eye on the weather and our hearts in a song. Our goal is to complete a circumnavigation and we recently transitioned to a performance catamaran and are madly in love with our Outremer 52. We are working with Outremer in France (with the help of Google translate) to launch our boat project and start our journey as sailing vagabonds. While it’s not a race or speedtest, we are doing our first Bluewater crossing this year and we are excited to see AWEN stretch her legs and dance on the water. Join us as we share what we’re learning living without Amazon, (but with Starlink), and attempt this new life of travel and adventure on the ocean. Please be patient with us as we continue to improve our YouTube vlogging skills. Our goal isn’t to make our life a movie, it’s to give back to what others have shared with us, which is why we don’t monetize our channel.
