I posted this on the Oasis thread but thought it would get more attention standalone here.
It’s a much watch in my mind.
I came across a great series by a long term love aboard who built and cruises a 70’ plus steel trawler built by Delta. He grew up sailing but commissioned this yacht and as of the vide date spent 20 of 28 years living aboard it full time. Cruises if I recall well over 150,000 nm and shipped it to Europe etc where it cruises more.
Here’s a link to the first episode on YouTube.
Episode 1: intro and detailed planning from San Diego to Vancouver
Episode 2a: weather routing
Episode 2b: Vessel preparedness
Episode 3 : Vancouver to Juneau
Episode 4: Juneau to william sound, Kenai, and Alaskan peninsula
Episode 5: defining attributes of expedition yacht
Episode 6: transitioning from sail to power
Episode 7: price of freedom
Episode 8: buying or building an expedition yacht
Episode 9: voyage planning and running maintenance
10: winter maintenance
11: bridge design, electronics, integration
12: engine room hvac
13: vessel monitoring, fire, flood, deck equipment and cctv
14: guests, crew, family, pets, galley and tenders
15+. East coast, Caribbean and Europe
