Don't worry. The Sailing Family will continue! We still have about 6 months of footage to share as we sail up past the Whitsunday islands and go as far north as Lizard Island. We then turn around and blast south to Sydney for Christmas and New Years Eve. We give you a sneak peak here, but it will be worth hanging around for - and we're not quitting! We might be selling Archer, but that doesn't mean we won't buy a new boat. Sailing is a big part of our lives and we all want that to continue.
Speaking of which, I (Seth) am excited about my new job in the boating industry. I want to thank HH Catamarans for inviting me to join the team. I can't wait to dive in and help the company on its continuing climb to success. If you want to learn more about the company, please visit www.HHCatamarans.com - or better yet, come see me at the Miami Boat Show in two weeks!

ABOUT US: We are a family of five sailing around the world on a performance catamaran named "Archer" and sharing our adventures in family-friendly episodes every Tuesday!
OUR ROUTE: We departed the Boston area of the United States and sailed south to the Caribbean and then west through the Panama Canal. We have dealt with massive repairs in the South Pacific, the Coronavirus lock down in New Zealand, a Category 5 Cyclone in Fiji, and now we are cruising in Australia.
OUR PAST: You may remember us as "SV Honeymoon?" Ten years ago ("before kids"), we sailed a Lagoon 380 named Honeymoon halfway around the world to Sydney, Australia. Along the way we shared our experiences via UA-cam and, by happenstance, created one of the very first "sailing channels." We also realized what an incredible experience we were having and that someday we wanted to do it again, only this time with kids.

    Seth / Elizabeth, great video, questions raised and presentation. Also, you have a great family and are wonderful parents. Now that you have dropped anchor at HH, I aim guessing doing the additional videos on construction materials / methods is not going to happen. Bummer, it is so hard to find true details on all the brands. Outremer seems to be getting they story out best with their training, support and a number of strong UA-camrs telling the story. Possibly with the Wynns and your marketing HH will get better told. Windelo looks real interesting but no one telling the story and light on the marketing. Of course has to be hard for brands to tell the story when they are sold out 2-3 years in advance.

    I see its an old video, yet so is my experience. For the last 20+ years I have docked mostly single handed, and always use the same technique. tie a midship spring as close to the dock as possible and the boat is secured already or putting it in gear will spring it closer to the dock. .

    Imho, Seth was the driving force behind the sailing/ filming, for me there was always a faltering in his voice as if he was persuading people to do things and be places they didn't want to be. He was tirelessly trying to get content from what appeared to be unappreciative, uninterested participants....going along for the good times, turning nasty when the going got slightly rough! My gut feeling, with a true wind and a fair crew, Seth would be still circumnavigating the globe with his family!

    What about Sunreef 50 or 60 as a world cruiser? Would u consider it if money wasn't an issue? Would it be viable for a couple who wants to sail the world without a crew? Even though money for a crew isn't a problem, i feel it takes the privacy and connection I would like to have with my partner/family in this kind of adventure. Would love to have your take on this. I loved the HH 52 forward cockpit btw. But if u could take a step forward in the catamaran game as a home to cruise the world sailing, Would you think this is a viable option? Bear in mind, I would like to be mainly sailing it and use motor as less as possible. Specially talking about the Sunreef 60 for a Bluewater cruiser as a couple. Thanks so much and wish all the best for you guys, hope we can meet someday. Would LOVE to have you guys take on this... Cheers!

    • @TheSailingFamily
      @TheSailingFamily 5 місяців тому

      The Sunreef is really a motor-sailor, meaning it cannot sail up wind, cannot sail in light wind and you will find that you use your motors a lot to get around. This is probably a great boat if you are stationed in one place (the BVI or Greece, for example), but as a world cruiser I have NEVER seen one making the rounds without a captain and crew. It's just a different boat for a different need IMO.

      It's a good story actually. We met at a bar and quickly discovered we lived in the same neighborhood. Then the same street. Then the same cross street. Then the same building. I had moved into the third floor of the building and Elizabeth lived on the sixth. It was very funny to realize we were neighbors, but not to meet in the building. And quite convenient because I did not have to ask for her number. Anyway, that's the short version!

      They sell protective casings but they reduce the power output of the propeller, so not many boats install them. If operated correctly and you wear a kill switch, they should not be needed on anything other than vessels teaching sailing or in similar roles.
