It is nice to have money 😊

The only change I would make is to swap out the in mast furling with in boom furling.

Utterly dreamboat, enjoy it!!

Fyi "notorious" means famous for something bad... I don't think that's what you meant.

Boats can be like a School, and the lessons you learn greatly affect what you start looking for in your Next Sailboat, Sometimes the lessons can be pretty Dramatic too, for example, the massive one that relatively recently for me, threw Out the one word which had Shaped the acquisition of all my Prior Sailboats which in one word is- Bluewater- admittedly this has really Firmed up necessities due to being Disabled . Things I don't like any longer are Classic Masts with Lazy Jacks Ketch Rigs and Twin Forestay Cutters, and Centre Cockpit boats (like living in a Sauna in the Tropics, almost as bad as fully glazed Deck Saloon Greenhouses, with very few exceptions, and any Sailboat with aspirations leaning towards Sailboat Racing. So Twin Rudders arent just out, they are right out, and with them go tripping hazard Mainsheet Tracks in the Cockpit. For some strange reason some people have hypnotised themselves into thinking Twin Rudders are somehow wonderful. Why they arent is covered in the description replacing "Bluewater" - Comfortable Liveaboard Aft Cockpit Cruising Sailboat. I don't know if youre getting one, but after thankfully trying one before buying, and desperately attempting to like Catamarans after being very taken by Rosie Swales adventures with one, I rapidly was forced to conclude that Catamarans Really Hate me😅 That motion when one hull hits a wave before the other one ? I always described as a Corcscrew Motion, but SV Tonic Boatwives, delivering a Lagoon 51 I think it was, delivering it to the Mediterranean, after leaving the Bay of Biscay got hit with it, and I think what they called it was more apt - Like a Bucking Bronco. Fortunately, and probably because I'd used a preventstive half a Stugeron Seasick tablet I wasn't sick, but it really messed my head up . Plus Generally, Catamarans Suck for upwind Sailing. So I've stuck with Monohulls. Aft Cockpit means Sugarscoop or Bathing platform, which for me is a secure Dock, for easy access on and off the Tender, and into the Cockpit Great for an Arch for Solar Panels , Davits and wind generator too. Plus when at anchor which Cruisers spend about 80% of their time on, With Sun and bad weather protection Dodger and Bimini, yo have the most used Room on the Boat. Bliss to stretch out in. As an aside, the aft Cockpit with Pad Eyes and Jack lines is just as safe as a Centre Cockpit, just make clipping in with safety lines a good habit. as you are on the companionway, before entering the Cockpit? Hoping you are both doing ok, Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob in Wales. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤

This couple gets invited onboard, and all they can do is complain about being treated too well! Painful to watch him bellyache because the one rum drink he drank was too strong. Grow a set, you pansy

Wow, what a beaty.😍

Hi Luke. We hope you are both well. I have a question. We are coming to the Med in October. We are interested in a 373. Can you share what you did not like? Or her downsides? We understand the size is smaller but looking for what didn’t you like about her as a liveaboard. Thanks Kellie

AMEL É O MELHOR, THE BEST....

I believe in the video it says it is sloop rigged but it looks like it's solent rigged. Just curious.

Hi Luke & Laure, Hope you’re both well. Where are you hiding? Miss your sailing CZcams videos greatly.

Just wondering how things are going with you two…

Tried to figure out what shirt Arni is wearing- anyone spot the brand?

This is my first time watching this channel in 18 months. Are you guys expecting?

Hi. Cool videos. How are you managing to stay in the Med over winter? I'm from Australia and can only stay 3 months out of 6 months in the Schengen area.

Thanks. Very nice tour. I have the opportunity to purchase the same boat (two cabin version). Reviews on the Internet are not all that favorable. Amongst other things, poor sailing in higher winds (rounding up) How happy are you with this boat? Thanks again.

Army cadets nice. So what did you do after the army cadets? Did you become an army officer?

No news anymore?

Thanks for this video guys, I’m doing a quotation and they send us this video. That’s what we want for our first winter in the Med! We really appreciate it❤️

15:40 future faking. dump her Luke, and get a Young Eastern Europe 👧 lady.

Hi guys, i hope you’re well, my wife and i were wondering what you are up to these days and if there are any new video’s coming anytime soon ? Take care…

Hi my friends, whats happening? Homeless?

Aw…….. So sorry for you! Literally just found you this morning while surfing new sailing channels. So sorry your sea sickness has gotten the best of you. You have done great videos! It will be interesting to see what’s next for you. We are a sailing couple in USA Lake Michigan.

Beautiful happiness ..blessings & be safe ..

Is it over Luke?

Is this safe to cross oceans?

I have been to a lot of beautiful locations around the world over the years, including some of the big comercial cities and islands, but have never revisited any of them, apart from the 'glorious Ibiza'. It is an underrated and in many cases an 'overexposed' island due to its commercial and clubbing aspects. (although I have also previously enjoyed this aspect also of the island too). I got married there in the wonderful, scenic Hacienda Na Xamena in 2010. Putting this to one side, it is the most beautiful, magical, 'soul awakening and chilled places that I have ever visited and continue to visit over the past 22 years. I feel that I have grown with it...seeing it before the motorways with just dirt roads, super marinas, beach walkways, and Manumission was the main superclub and cafe del mar was the place to sit on the rock to see the sunset. It is great to see the islands government are putting the tourists money back into the island and that it will continue to the islands growth and improvements, also from a nature preservation point of view. I will continue to visit this wonderful place with the sometimes sad but also happy memories it hold for me. Just a wonderful place.

Hello. New to your channel and plan on being on Sicily next month with MDR being on the top of my list. Quick question: I plan on having a folding bike and am wondering how safe it is there bikewise (crime / traffic / dicey roads) and how feasible is it for a healthy person to bike the hill to Ragusa or take a bike the municipal bus? Do they have storage racks on the front of the bus as in some countries? Would it have to be in a bag to go inside the bus with me? Also wondering about local labor rates to get repairs done / quality of the chandelry.

Yes, on a boat you don't need any swimsuit.

Just discovered this channel and see you’re flying the 🇧🇪 where are you guys from in Belgium? Great videos! Fair winds to you guys.

All the love support and power to you guys, because of your episods I could able to see sailing life all the very best for the future episode guys ❤️❤️❤️

How long are the lines you use to tie up to land?

hi Guys, this is not the end, this is the beginning of a new chapter, enjoy the journey to your new home, greetings from Mé xico

Hi Luke and Laure! We are excited to see your next chapter and hope to see you out there on the water soon!!

No life jackets!??

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼So glad a happy ending, we'll miss SV Talia. An understandable change, living on board is tight and a minimal size is necessary. Looking forward to seeing your future floating home💪🏼🙏👍🏼🤗⛵🌅. Take care ❣️😍

😥so unfortunate for poor Laure, and unfortunately feeling poorly while out on the water is not at all pleasant.😔

Oh SV Talia is a pretty ⛵⛵ she has been very protective and sailed you across the Mediterranean 🤗🙏🌅

It will be interesting watching your search. 👍🙂

Guys, thanks to you I chartered a boat in Corfu and sailed to Gaios in Paxos, what a beautiful harbour. Probably the nicest place I have ever been. Thank you. Is this a spoiler alert, is Laure expecting?????????

I look forward to what the future brings for you guys. Best of luck finding the next boat!

We will miss you smiling faces, till next time

Wow How time flies! Thanks for the video's you two!

good luck with the next adventure on Talia2! Hopefully another monohull 😉🙄😊😂

Das Euer Boot so schnell verkauft ist wundert mich nicht. Im Moment ist der Markt für "kleinere" Boote leer gekauft. Covid sei Dank :( Ich kenne Makler die haben eine warte Liste , das gab es meines wissens noch nie. Deshalb hatte Euer Makler wohl auch so schnell einen Käufer. Ich hoffe ihr habt nicht zu günstig verkauft, im Moment : der normalpreis + 20 % = verkaufspreis Ich hoffe ihr findet einen schönen Kat I'm not surprised that your boat has sold so quickly. At the moment the market for "smaller" boats is empty. Thanks to Covid :( I know brokers who have a waiting list, as far as I know, that has never existed. That's probably why your broker had a buyer so quickly. I hope you didn't sell too cheaply, at the moment: the normal price + 20% = sales price I hope you find a nice Kat
