  I totally agree with everything you said about living and enjoying life on a sailing yacht.  Its not about racing its about comfort and safety on the sea.   I did some sailing in the early 70's, we never tied up at a dock, so much better to sit on anchor, enjoy our privacy.  Sailed the Bahamas and Caribbean and later went to England and sailed back to the Caribbean.  We were bare bones, no radar, no GPS ahaha  we had a compass , sextant and a few charts and radio direction finder ahahha,  its was so simple.  We were able to enjoy our life style without having to spend time repairing something all the time.  we kept it simple.  Happy sailing to both of you.  Thanks for the tour or your ship, I seldom see a sailing yacht on you tube that just seems so right.

  Unusual to see a cruising boat without furlers. Good one 😊

  I used to deckhand on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers when I retired from the army. I’d spend 28 days on the boat and 14 off. It’s what got me hooked on wanting to live on the water. I even once traveled to Digby Nova Scotia and hopped on a scallop boat. I loved it so much that I traveled to Dutch Harbor to try to catch a job on a crab boat but had no luck. 😢

  Immediately recognised the design, and enjoyed watching this. I ran a company called Windboats, and we built many of my good friend Peter Ibold's designs in ferro-cement. He was a delightful man, and a gifted naval architect, and tBlown Away is a fine example of his work. God bless her and those who sail in her.

  What a live we can create! <br>I like the 2/5 mindset above the 5/2 thinking.

  Love your run down of your beautiful boat. I am currently on process of buying a 1985 42 foot Sailboat and could not agree more with your assessment of the sailing life and the minimal approach necessary to truly sail. Look forward to watching your videos.
