01 - Launching of Starry Horizons, a Fountaine Pajot Helia 44

Just found your channel from La Vagabonde and a few other sailing youtubers. Love your catamaran, I think you have my dream boat. Love your story and so I have gone back to watch all of your videos. By the way one the best names for a boat I have ever heard, great job!

im gonna start watching this video.. i was subcribe ur channel today and gonna start where u guys begin... btw amazing Cats.. i love Catamaran..

Awesome video, Thanks.

This video is my mood booster. Same dream, same boat, same ocean.

Hats off to the tremendous skill of the truck driver.

love that boat, doesn't matter how many times I see it happy sailing .best wishes

We bought our boat in Germany and had it trucked 1000 km to La Rochelle. We were not worried at all, those truckers know exactly what they are doing, UK, Turkey, Finland or Portugal and all points in between.

Curious as to why the truck was heading east on the N11 motorway, direction Niort & Surgeres, La Rochelle is the opposite direction.

We live East of Niort & keep our boat at La Rochelle, so use the N11 a lot. Thinking on, perhaps they have to take a rural route via Surgeres to avoid congesting the main road in.

Just found your channel, bravo. Can't wait to catch up.

Not the trucking companies first rodeo. I have witnessed many large objects being moved, including the space shuttle and was very impressed on how they moved around on the small streets.

I was holding my breath the whole time!

Ok coolest trailer/ boat launch I've ever seen. Bet that was the longest most finger nail biting drive of your life. Seemed to be one smooth operation though :)

Heck of an operation to move it to water. Nice to see all that's involved.

My wife and I fly, now we're looking at boats, but we're not sailors. Really enjoy your videos. Very exciting.

Is it cheaper to acquire the french Cats in France and then sailing it to NA? Or do you pay the EU VAT still and other complicated taxes?

why didn't you go with a Lagoon?and what was the reason for picking Fountain Pajot.

Cool video, you wouldn't want to be doing that to often. A very nervous time for all I would imagine

Congratulations --- proud parents!  Nice song choice and when I launch mine, I will place a  'Baby on Board' placard on the truck! :)

I had wished I had seen MapleCookie being transported. Now I know I would have been ladling out my underpants the whole way!! Congratulations, guys!

Great video, guys! We will be following you here too.
