Why We Left YouTube - Now Let's Make Something!
October 05, 2024 by The O'Kelly's | Language: EN Play Time: 00:19:33 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Meeting the builder of a wooden Dix470 catamaran in Japan helped us change course, back to our roots as builders and creators. We also go sailing in Japan! As we return to friends and family in Oregon, we have a new hunger for returning to the sailing life…aboard a yacht of our own making.

The O'Kelly's
We've been together for 30 years and have had three monohulls and one catamaran (Clarity) over the past 20 years. We FINALLY found our next boat and are so excited to share it with you in 2023! If you want behind the scenes/real time updates we'd love to have you join our incredible community of like minded "doers" on Patreon. We literally couldn't make these videos without the support of our community! If you're considering the cruising life, we offer 1:1 consulting over Zoom so check out www.sailclarity.com/consulting if you're interested. It's a privilege to be able to share it with you all so THANK YOU to all of you who make it happen! Nick is a meteorologist and pilot, so we may be talking a bit about that as it relates to sailing. Megan was in high tech recruiting and has been a life long seamstress - see her channel below. We have a couple other channels: O'Kelly Tech and our philosophical, meditative meanderings - MONKEYS ON A ROCK - see below.

Living the Dream (and Nightmare) on a Borrowed $1M Catamaran!
We do in 2 weeks what most owners do in 2 months. A sprint to get this brand new Leopard 45 catamaran off the dock and shaken down for her new owners. Things go well until we get to Nassau, Bahamas to check in. That's where a neighbor boat has trouble sett...
They gave us a $1.1M Catamaran
They gave us a brand new Leopard 45, loaded to the gills with the best aftermarket upgrades, and they gave it to us free to use for a couple of months at least...and man o'man did we need it! After another boat purchase fell through in New Zealand, we head...
We Tried to Buy Another Boat
We thought we'd found our dream catamaran in French Polynesia, but, spoiler alert...it was far from a good dream. If the cruising life is full of high highs and low lows, and so is the boat buying process. We find ourselves wondering if all of the searchin...
