I Didn’t Expect This… Sirius Might Be the Smartest Sailboat I’ve Toured
Last chance for the first printing of Be The Captain → https://bethecaptain.com
I want to set expectations for this video, because this isn’t a review and it’s not a sales pitch.
This was my first time ever stepping aboard a Sirius sailboat. I didn’t come in with a script, an agenda, or any affiliation with the builder. I was at the show when someone from the audience insisted I go see it—and by the end of the tour, I was genuinely impressed by how thoughtfully this boat is put together.
What you’re seeing here is a real, unscripted walk-through from the perspective of someone who loves smart design, practical engineering, and boats that are clearly built with purpose. Any excitement you hear is real. I’m not being paid, and no one asked me to say anything nice.
A big thank-you to Thorsten for taking the time to walk me through the boat and answer my questions.

Most People Miss these Awesome Islands
Costa Rica’s Islas Murciélagos offered hiking, breaching whales, and a memorable stop away from the usual anchorages. Most sailors pass these islands by, and without a little anchor symbol on the chart, it takes some exploring to discover what they’re missing. Full Stream: 📗 Get My Book:
