nice video...why the stock footage from a Pacific reef for your snorkeling footage? some can't tell the difference but some can...
-
how much for that one week in dollars for the boat?
-
I'll cut you some slack because you only got a 5 min tutorial on how to split the throttles and manoeuvre the cat - when approaching a mooring buoy (or any close quarters manoeuvres), the helmsman should be able to hold the cat 'in station' with good communication from the bow crew while trying to hook the mooring line and not fall off like in a mono. This is one of the best things about cats. You can literally spin the boat about it's axis, even fighting the breeze. We lived on our Lagoon 440 in the Caribbean for 18 mths and forward visibility is even better because of the fly bridge.
Good video; I know where I'd rather be...... -
We enjoyed the surprise of meeting you while cruising in the BVI's a couple of years ago. We were on a monohull and I think that we'll try a catamaran next time. :)

wow we used to live in st croix..great sailing..love yall
-
NICE..... ;~D.....Rrrrrr

We just chartered (a monohull) this month. When was this recorded? We may have just missed you! I agree, sailing in the BVI is easy, flat, 15 knts of wind most of the time. Even with the chop from the Caribbean and the swell from Hurricane Nicole, we were well protected in the Sir Frances Drake Channel and way to protected while moored at Peter Island as our winds were out of the south due to the hurricane. We own a monohull in Monterey, CA, but will be purchasing a catamaran for cruising this summer. So many more anchorages are available to cats that don't roll! Thanks for the video!

I'm new to this channel so I didn't know what to expect. I was a little disappointed, it seemed to me that the video was more "sightseeing" than is was "how to". A more complete tour of the "Cat" would have been nice. An explanation of the rental process and some insight into the costs would have been nice too.
-
Great vid ya'll, so Wich do you prefer, mono hull or catamaran?
-
So how about a budget on costs that were incurred during your days?
-
I keep Road Town, Tortola as a location on my weather app. I don't really need to check it though - the weather is mid '80s, the wind is 15 kt from the east. And tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that...
-
I have been to all the places you guys visited!
-
Thanks for great 'how too', I've watched all of your older vids and really enjoyed them. Let me know if you are in Tasmania around December 2016 :-), or the Netherlands any other month than Dec this year. I'd be happy to be your cameraman for a few days ! Thanks again for all of the hard work. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the video, but it hurts when a cleat hitch is done incorrectly: 8:24 ;(
-
Where can I 'double like' this? ;-)
-
you make amazing videos, well done!
-
Always enjoy your films, and the cat is amazing, very informative thank you .
-
Thanks for video :)
Is a cat so bad upwind, as everybody says.?
IMO a cat is not a Real sailboat, but to be honest... i have never try a cat and my opinion is not build on experience, but just one what I Think :) -
Thinking of trading up to a cat?
-
So, are you thinking about moving from a swing keel to a cat? Every boat is a compromise....

Our first sail on a Catamaran. We chartered a Lagoon 380 in the British Virgin Islands from the Catamaran Company. We sail from Nanny Cay on Tortola. We see what a charter briefing is like, tour the inside of the boat, and learn to maneuver in tight quarters using two engines.
