The TRUE TEST of our 30-YEAR-OLD CATAMARAN as we finish our 1400 MILE OFFSHORE PASSAGE. We leave the RAGGED ISLANDS and angle toward the GULF STREAM while dodging MASSIVE WEATHER FRONTS, trying hard not to get caught out in the Gulf Stream in adverse winds. The result is a little bit of everything...
PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END....
BOAT DESCRIPTION - A LEHETE BOURGEOIS 42 FT, 1.85 M DRAFT, BEAM 11 FT, CUTTER RIGGED, ENCAPSULATED KEEL, 11 TONNE. IT HAS THE SPACE OF A TYPICAL 39 FT CRUISING BOAT, NOT YOUR STANDARD 422 PEARSON SAY. ONLY 6 MADE IN AUSTRALIA BY CRAZY FRENCHMAN. THE BOAT WAS...
On our LONGEST PASSAGE YET, we hit some LIGHT WINDS, meaning it's time to test the RAGGED and NEGLECTED SPINNAKER we FOUND in the bow locker! We show you STEP BY STEP how to do it, along with a few more days of PASSAGE LIFE and yet another MYSTERY ISSUE to tackle as we reach the RAGGED ISLANDS...
Can our 30-YEAR-OLD Privilege Catamaran handle a 9-DAY OCEAN PASSAGE?! The BIGGER question - CAN WE?! SEA SICKNESS, things BREAKING, and our FORECAST is WINDIER and WAVIER than we'd like. But there's NO SIGN of it improving in the near future. And with the Christmas holiday with family...
1400 MILES on OPEN OCEAN?! Our catamaran ISN'T ready and NEITHER ARE WE! But can we add JUST ENOUGH of the RIGHT EQUIPMENT to get us there? We're gonna do our best, but our WEATHER WINDOW is NOT cooperating. Can we make it to SOUTH CAROLINA in time to spend the holidays with our famili...
The boat's NOWHERE NEAR 100%, but to GET IT THERE, we need to travel 1800+ MILES to the U.S. before Dec. 12! This jump to the USVI is the FIRST STEP in our LONGEST JOURNEY EVER. We've got NO NAV, it's WINDY, it's ROUGH, it's 400 miles to St. Thomas, it's DARK, and we...
It's a BOATYARD BLITZ!! The list is HUGE and we only have 7 DAYS. From our UNEXPECTEDLY SHOT COPPERCOAT bottom, to NUMEROUS DAMAGE areas, and MANY items in between, we do ALL THE WORK OURSELVES and ON THE CHEAP. We have less than a MONTH to make 1800 miles to SOUTH CAROLINA and it ALL STARTS...
Our 1992 PRIVILEGE CATAMARAN comes with COMPROMISES. But SAILABILITY ISN'T one of them! As we start our 1800 MILE JOURNEY northward from GRENADA, we get into 30+ KNOTS SUSTAINED as well as 5 knots, all upwind. How does this girl handle it and WHY do we think it does it all BETTER than a mode...

The PURCHASE and RESTORATION of this PRIVILEGE CATAMARAN, plus a SILLY assortment of MISFORTUNES has given us fits over the last 4 MONTHS, but suddenly we're CELEBRATING several things ALL AT ONCE! And not a moment too soon, since it's time to LEAVE GRENADA and set out on an 1800 MILE JOU...
The UPS and DOWNS of CRUISING LIFE feel much more EXTREME than in "NORMAL LIFE". Add the RENOVATION of a 30 YEAR OLD CATAMARAN and a LONG spell of UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS and that effect is AMPLIFIED THAT MUCH MORE. It's sort of a BI-POLAR LIFESTYLE; the HIGHS are VERY high with amazing...
Our 48' CLASSIC PRIVILEGE CAT needs a LOT of LOVE, and REPLACING every bad item with NEW will BANKRUPT US really quick. So our mission is to RESTORE it CHEAP, FIXING and SALVAGING everything we possibly can. This week it's a mainsail missing some parts and a destroyed lazy bag. Hiring s...
We're RENOVATING our PRIVILEGE 482 CATAMARAN and the TO-DO LIST is LONG, but one item has PLAGUED OUR EXISTENCE from DAY ONE. Now that we have an EXPERT on hand to fix it, it's STILL NOT WORKING. Sometimes it comes down to REPLACING over FIXING and just DOING IT YOURSELF, but how far is ...
It's NOT WHAT YOU THINK. Grenada is AMAZING. Beautiful anchorages , epic jungles, wonderful locals, endless activities. But ONE THING makes us wish we could STAY FOREVER! Sadly, we can't, because even if we did, that one thing would also be gone. Enjoy!! And be sure to SUBSCRIBE for ...

Our '92 PRIVILEGE 482 CATAMARAN is not only our PROJECT, it's our HOME. Which makes things very interesting once the POWER TOOLS come out and the whole thing becomes a FLOATING WORK SHOP! But somehow we manage to negotiate the mayhem, FIX SOME STUFF, and even do some sailing! Enjoy!! A...

Our friends' CATAMARAN DRAGS ANCHOR in a storm, leading to FAR BIGGER ISSUES...like WATER POURING IN at GALLONS per MINUTE. We do our best to help and later wonder how well prepared WE are for something like this...especially being CATAMARAN NEWBIES ourselves. Enjoy!! And be sure to SUBSCRIB...

Will the CAT be a DOG? We've LIVED ABOARD our PROJECT CATAMARAN for 3 MONTHS. Finally, it's SAILING TIME! So the old question again - MONOHULL or CATAMARAN? As life long monohull sailors we're about to get our first taste of how this cat sails. Will we be two-hull converts? Enjoy...
