3Di North Sails Factory Tour for Our #Outremer 52 Catamaran (Ep.4)
We take a North Sails factory tour in Minden, Nevada, to see how 3Di sails are made from fiber to final sail. Since performance sailboats are about sailing more than motoring, we are excited to see how these sails perform as we begin our circumnavigation on our new Outremer 52.
⚓ Join us as we learn what it takes to circumnavigate successfully and make the transition to liveaboard cruising.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello! 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.

Sailing AWEN
We are Holly and Stephane are formerly from the San Francisco Bay Area but have a home in Tahoe. Our 'someday' plan was to sell our belongings, buy a boat and with reckless abandon sail away to visit distant lands, which we did starting in 2020. You can follow our transition and journey in our totally candid podcast, Covert Castaway, wherever you listen. Or, you can follow every stop we’ve made with pictures, blogs and stream our podcast directly on www.sailingAWEN.com. You can also find us at https://www.facebook.com/SailingAwen and we update this most often, or our blog at www.sailingawen.com. https://www.noforeignland.com/boat/awen
