Swan are well renowned for leading the pack, a next level approach to boat building. A Whitbread sailors dream, just look at the OGR, it was a Swanfest! They can clearly make a good boat. Oh, they also made the first leisure vessel that sailed to the Arctic too, but the question is have they gone too far?

Fancy composite nomex cored interiors, furling mainsails, hydraulic controlls and dressed in dyneema. For the environmantalists out there, they are still using teak. Is this the furure of cruising? Or just a step too far, find out what we think about it all, it wasnt what we expected!

I'm sharing my production methods, setbacks, and progress, and basically all you want to know about my Hardtop project for my Bavaria 55 Cruiser. This is not a how-to guide for building a HARD DODGER or HARDTOP. It is a journey showing how I do it in my way. Without claiming this is the way to do it. In this episode I even share what I would done different if I started all over again.

It is still monsoon season, and the weather is still pretty unstable. A cyclone forming pretty close makes things even worse with strong winds.

Thank you so much for tagging along and for the patrons' support in making this video possible.

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
I'm a sailor with a YouTube channel and not a YouTuber. Sailing around the world in a Bavaria 55 Cruiser mostly solo, making videos whenever we have time for it.
Comfortable at sea with 4 decades of sailing experience and hundreds of thousands of miles behind me.

Even though this is season 7 on YouTube I did not make that many videos in the beginning, and obviously not from my entire sailing life. Before full-time sailing 6 years ago, I sailed several seasons in the Mediterranean, and obviously also in Scandinavia. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and have been sailing and racing ever since. I also have more than 10 years of experience as a captain in search and rescue at sea in Norway.

In this video we take a kayak expedition through Ko Hong before taking off for Khoa Ta Poo. You probably know Khoa Ta Poo by it's movie name... Jame Bond Island. We drop anchor close by, and dinghied the short distance to Khao Phing Kan. This is the island where the villain in the 1974 Bond flick, The Man With The Golden Gun, built his evil lair.

We tour the island and watch the sun set over Aquarius anchored near by. Then, we try to get back, but there is a surprise waiting underwater for us during our dinghy ride back to Aquarius.

Thanks so much for watching 🙏

We leave the main island Mahé to explore more of the Seychelles. Secluded beaches and quiet resorts... Seems so like the paradise, but we miss our friends...
So we drop everything to go see them again! Also --- get a catamaran? Or not? Can't tell you this yet, but we did explore the island and some windy crazy roads...
But that's not it yet! We have a quality times with friends and some spooky places... (you have to see that one) And after you see - please tell us - are we crazy?
:)

A tour around "Lickety" which is an HH50 SC Catamaran (hull #4). Many thanks to HH Catamarans for showing us around at the Cannes Yachting Festival.

Head to https://kats.co/hh for more information on HH Catamarans and the HH55, HH44 and HH60.
-
Prospective HH Catamaran buyers were requesting a size that was more manageable for a couple sailing around the world, so the HH50 SC and OC was developed.

Read our HH50 Owner’s Review from SV Lickety.

HH50-02: Off-Piste

Unfortunately Trent and the other side couldn't come to a reasonable agreement in a reasonable time frame. Apparently a partial refund isn't worth their time to discuss.

Due to the boat and issues not being rectified in anything resembling a reasonable time frame, I am drawing the line and finishing the Leopard Catamaran review series, telling the whole story as far as all of the failures on Liger go. The remaining problems were far more serious than the published ones and will be worth noting for anyone considering rolling the dice on their dreams and future on something that comes out of that Leopard 45 factory, sorry my mistake, Leopard 46 factory now.

Episode #294 : Season 9 : The South Pacific

Hello Friends,

On this episode I depart Nanuya Lailai Island and make way for Naviti Island in search of a downed WWII fighter plane that lays sunken underwater in the Lagoon.

After finding good anchorage near a long sandy beach I headed a shore snorkel gear and a machete and set off the island on an over grown trail. I eventually found the site and swam out to have a look at the small plane.

you can find out more information about the plane and its pilot here: https://pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/p-39/fiji.html

Episode 382 : Season 12 : Sailing Australia

Hello Friends,
On this episode we sail out into the Great Barrier Reef and visit Lady Musgrave Island, a coral atoll lagoon with a small sand cay (island). We snorkeled daily and enjoyed exploring the small island. We absolutely loved Lady Musgrave and both agreed it has been the best adventure so far!!!

The Anchor Test !

This video was for Patrons only but its been over a year So now I will release it to the public ! Thanks to my Patrons !

After getting the set up all installed I went out for the day with my buddies Neil, Christian and Carlito to test the anchor and get some footage of the first anchor drop.

Christian motored along side with his beautiful 1962 Tartan 27.

Much to my dismay my gypsy is the wrong size for my chain so I have since been on the search for the correct sized gypsy (either new chain or gypsy will cost me $400 unless I can find a used gypsy)

So this was the first time I got to haul the anchor up by hand, which my mama would have said "Hush up, its good for you, get it done".

I got lots of practice at this while anchoring at Santa Cruz island in December.

As I mentioned above this video is just for my Patrons and is free for you guys as well, thanks so much for your support!

Thanks for watching!

Fair Winds,
Sailor James

Alberg 30’s have long been known and respected as blue water boats, from Yves Gelinas’ Jean-Du-Sud to being featured in John Vigor’s “Twenty Small Sailboats to Take You Anywhere”. Now I am the proud owner of Hull #55! Come along with me as I refit her and take her sailing in preparation for my circumnavigation in a few years time!

Join us on a tour and walk - through of the features of the T-2000 ‘VOYAGER’ Power Catamaran from Safehaven Marine.
.
This is a high speed, long range, blue water explorer catamaran designed to provide the best efficiency, economy and range in its size bracket at cruising speeds around 30-40kts. It's also efficient and economical at lower planning and semi-planning speeds right down to displacement speeds.
.
Thanks to her large fuel capacity, she has an impressive range at these speeds: (1,000nm+ at 30kts and 1,700nm at 16kts and over 3,000nm at 9-10kts). The Voyager is capable of crossing the Atlantic Ocean non-stop. The T-2000 Voyager will appeal to owners looking to explore remote and occasionally inhospitable locations and who, on occasion wants to get there fast to take advantage of favourable weather windows, without sacrificing comfort and excitement.

There's a big crowd of sailors coming to Opua, New Zealand about the same time to in order to get away from typhoon season in higher latitudes and Bay of Islands Marina together with local businesses are throwing a party for us - a whole week of fun and informative events - Cruisers Festival. Festival is ended by group sail to some of the islands - we loved it! We also will be looking to buy a car, since we planning to stay 6 months in New Zealand, and especially because we want to tour whole island! Join us!

Thanks so much for watching 🙏

Two brand new 2022/2023 sailing boats, the Hanse 460 VS Dehler 46sq.
Hanse has done it again not once but twice with these two new and remarkable sailboats.

A hard choice of speed and comfort or both.
