WE FAILED AGAIN…but we're NOT GIVING UP! [RED SEAS]
This is one of the toughest videos we've made in a long time - at the end of our 3-month catamaran refit, we were so ready to get back in the water but when we launched our boat last week, we discovered that one of the thru hulls we had replaced was leaking. It took a huge effort to lift the boat out of the water again and fix it, but we weren't prepared for what happened when we launched the second time.
It's an emotionally charged week, with a lot going on, but we're so glad you're here to live it alongside us. We know that things don't always go to plan but we tried to share the experience with you, with all its ups and downs as we fight to get our boat back on the water so we can continue sailing and adventuring.
If you'd like to send us a tip to keep us going, we'd so appreciate the support right now!

MAJOR STRUCTURAL FAILURE on Leopard catamaran! [RED SEAS]
We have been sailing our Leopard catamaran for six years, crossing oceans and really putting down the miles on our boat. We spent a long time choosing this model and there are a number of reasons why we are super happy with our choice, but after 6 years of hard sailing, and a recent rough ocean pass...![SAILING SINGLE-HANDED: Is she up to it?
