I Surprised My Family With A Catamaran
June 25, 2023 by David Shih | Language: EN Play Time: 00:15:53 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
It’s been almost a year since we bought the boat and I promised the kids a life on the water. Except I had to abandon them for a year to fix the boat. Today I finally get to show the kids their new boat for the 1st time!
Then Carlos and I fiberglass the heck out of the entire middle bulkheads in a mere 3 days, that’s gotta be like a world record since it took 300 days to complete the forward bulkheads. We’re almost done with fiberglassing forever and getting closer to sailing the world like our heroes @ParlayRevival @svdelos and @gonewiththewynns ! Oh yeah, and we build out a minivan and I make the family sleep in it next to the boat, vanlife style!

I Surprised My Family With A Catamaran Locations
David Shih
First we sold everything and sunk it all into our dream boat, a Lagoon 450 catamaran. Then we found out it had broken bulkheads which would cost $100k to fix. The manufacturer refused to take responsibility or even assist so I searched the world for help and somehow connected with Sailing Parlay Revival. I abandoned my family in Texas and sailed across the entire Carribean to Panama to figure out a way to make our boat whole again.
