Heidi and Franny, follow up interview - 3 years into cruising
May 15, 2025 by Sailing Fair Isle | Language: EN Play Time: 00:16:39 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Regular viewers will be familiar with Heidi and Franny as we interviewed them 3 years ago at the Annapolis boat show when they were first looking for a catamaran and we have stayed with them on board in Annapolis for the last two boat shows.
Since then they purchased a Fountaine Pajot, Saona 47 and have been living aboard. We caught up with them cruising the Bahamas so wanted to interview them again to find out if boat ownership and cruising was panning out they way they expected.
Heidi and Franny have their own You Tube sailing channel which you can check out here…

Heidi and Franny, follow up interview - 3 years into cruising Locations
Sailing Fair Isle
We have sold our house in the UK and moved aboard our boat. She is a classic cutter rigged 48 foot Hans Christian; a very strong blue water boat more than capable of sailing around the world. Just hope we are! We are professional documentary filmmakers working for the BBC and many other TV stations around the world. Broadcasters aren't interested in commissioning sailing programs these days so we are launching our channel online. Sailing Fair Isle is aiming to be more than just a vlog showing our travels. It will be a travel log, but also a documentary style show with proper content and broadcast technical standards. That's the plan anyway. Lets see how it goes.
