Nice quality fitted boat, should feel very safe at sea :-)

Excellent, loved watching you both enjoying yourselves in beautiful relaxing surroundings. Great photography again, thank you :-)

Oh my God you guys are so inspirational. And your girlfriend is such a nice girl. You've inspired me and Wendy to do a trip just like this❤

Congrats on your new boat, and I'll try not to rain on your parade, given just about any Sailboat can be made to work as intended, and the hamstrings features are things like comfort. Perspective - I'm a Classic Sailboat Sailor, from the time when Classic Sailboats were Current Production, and zclassic Sailboats suffered from the terrible effects of Sailboat Racing influences, which resulted in the 1979 Fastnet Race Tragedy. which turned me off Sailboat Racing for life. influences such as short waterline length and narrow beams encouraged extreme heeling angles to increase Hull speed, and actively working against the capacity for comfort onboard.,Working against comfort in the Tropics, is why I really dislike Classic Sailboats with zcentre Cockpits, as most have poor headroom below deck, and very steep companionway steps leading to skinned shins and knees, a d excessive temperatures down below that reach Sauna levels of discomfort and all for the false illusion that they are somehow safer than an Aft Cockpit Sailbost - they aren't, and the loss os comfort and convenience provided is not insignificant. So I am a Convert to the Modern Wide Beam Production Sailboats, and my biggest problem with them is once again the Stupid influences from Sailboat Racing, with things like wxcessively deep Drafts, Twin Rudders, and stupid safety hazards like Msinsheet tracks in the Cockpit Given the levelsvof UV Light penetration thanks to Solar Emissionsdoing serious damsge to the Ozone Lsyer, in Mast Furling Maindails have become essential for significantly reducing Main Sail Da,age, which can be stsggering, and take place very quickly. Frankly, the biggest problem I am having with finding a new Boat, is finding one with a shallow enough Draft, as I just don't Trust Swing Keels or drop Keels in anything other than the size of a Sailing Dinghy. To me, there is nothing wrong with a Shallow Draft Lead Wing Keek for a Draft of say four feet six inches, which opens up a huge range of places you can get in and out of. my last Sailboat had a long keelmand a shallow Draft of four feet and three inches, and tracked like it was on Rails. So,etching, I really don't like though, is Wind Vane steering, as to me, in confused Seas or awkward waves, their reaction speed is way too slow, and that can really drop you in it. So auto pilot with a complete replacement backup - just in Case .Sorry foe rabbiting on a bit, but I almost Died a few weeks back, with Respiratory Failure, Pneumonia, followed by a heart attack, so passing on things I have learned along what is now a very long way, may be of help to think about for others. So Best Wishes, Fair Winds, and Happy Travels from Bob ( who thinks Circumnavigations are pointless, and it's worth replacing them with Drstinations that you really want to visit, and it is the journey to them that is the really fun bit ). 🤔🌟🌟🌟👍❤️

11:35...how do you not jump into that water. Looks beautiful.

You 've become my favorite channel guys ! Thanks for sharing

Hi, great video as always. I am starting to feel more vibration from the enguine. Need to replace my mounts also. I have the same enguine as you "3JH4E". Do you have a part number for the mouts and where did you order from?

Bloody hell, , Did you have to alter the course to keep the waves 90 degrees off the back, rather than coming across you... I am. novice skipper so interested...

What kind of professional background do y'all have? You make the upgrades you've done so far look so easy! I would be intimidated to try and install solar panels and a windmill myself. I would also be nowhere near as chill as y'all seem to be. I'd be jumping out of my SKIN to be adventuring like you guys! Best wishes!

When I have new crew helping me sail by Ben-40, I have them watch this "training video" of how to keep cool in these conditions. Thanks for making this video so that everyone can learn from it.

Hi Guys Just watched your video from Raroia. Amazing Conditioning. We were not that lucky, but still loved it. We were there in May. Bad weather and quite a few boats. When were you there?

May I ask what the tattoo on the right forefinger signifies?

WELL DONE GUYS!!!! 🎉

No mosquitoes?

Gif-tablet tegen vlooien voor hondjes...NIET doen! Je maakt het bloed giftig en kan naar de dierenarts die jou dier verder verziekt en jij gaat heel veel betalen, net als bij mensen!

Beautiful boat! Looking forward to seeing vids of northern travels in her. Luca very cute!

Thanks your video. I have that sama problem in my oceanis 40. Can I just change skin fitting only?

I was looking for justin beaver and you came up.. 🙂

Wonderful ❤ and absolutely the right decision for a long blue water trip. Sure, you gave a little bit less space, but much more safety. We have the same "old lady" from 1987 no 72 and plan our long trip for early 2026. Best wishes to both of you and fair wind's. Björn and Matze from VOYAGER.

Beautiful boat! Looking forward to see your mounting of the bowsprit 😊

!!! Pls ... Tell me what you do if your boat is floated. scoop a bucket at the time? ~ what is your best preventative measure to rescue yourself and the boat ? Thanks

Jeez! I’m no expert but I’d go anywhere with you guys!

CLICKBAIT! 6m, more like 2.

Very nice boat! Safe trips on the ocean and enjoy each mile on the beautiful boat..

☺️ 'Promo sm'

anyone who has been cruising further afield than the med or caribbean will understand completely why you chose this boat, it is a different machine to the 'Benny" Good choice

Super cool adventures.

that is one very sqared away boat

Dumb question. In all of your videos I’ve watch and even in light air you are sailing with a reef in the mainsail vs. a full mainsail. I can think of a number of reason why you would, but why not if on the right angle with the wind with fair skies and trying to make some distance?

Sweet. Good choice

😊Saint Lucia blir nok et punkt på bucket-lista.😊

I enjoyed watch to the end thanks for sharing

FCB

what you lose in room you more than make up for in seaworthiness and quality. Look forward to following you journey. Be safe

Thanks for the latest vid on your pacific odyssey. They are very well made and great viewing - well done, especially when I guess you are busy with the rest of your life in Norway. Looking forward to the next one when you have it ready.

what a perfect boat! WHY companies don’t build such kind boat anymore now? I really like central cockpit design and REALLY wanna get one myself!!!!

If you know the difference between a production and a bluewater boats, you'll sure see that difference while sailing. I have a 1971 33ft Hallberg-Rassy, and being smaller, but regardless of the blow, with a proper sail combination it never heals over 15 degrees. You'll see what I mean on your Najad. On the beautiful wood subject on the inside..., beside being a very significant esthetic attribute, it also shields you from forever off-gasiing epoxy that most of your boat is made of, and all of that toxic fumes evaporate on the outside. If you plan on going back to cruising, that wood will greatly contribute to much healthier living conditions aboard. Based on your previous boat setup, you look like someone who believes in a bluewater value of an inner stay...? Perhaps that and a Hydrovane could be major improvements to the Najad? Congratulations on your new boat! She is beautiful and she has a soul to discover, connect with, and enhance your journey together. I'm so happy for your success! Fair winds ⛵️

Looks great - headed that way next month! Great footage of Tahanea! Sailed there 20 years ago and it looks untouched. cheers!

Some of my favorite videos on CZcams, so good, and thank you!

what was your sailing education and experience when buying the beneteau?

Congratulations..been living on one for 5 years....36ft outside and 40 inside......, feels very safe when the going gets tough, with a bit of wind she really shine.....enjoy!

I’m so glad your back ,excellent videos and looking forward to many more

So Glad to see you guys back.Great Video,plus the Music is spot on.Dont stop,

How is the keel and mast attached?

Really good!

Another great video, but boy, this must be nearly 2 years old is it not? Isn't this the boat you sold and have since purchased a Najad boat? Be great if you'd give us an update on what's happening with you guys today.

The footage quality is awesome in those underwater shots! Great job! Stoked that you're putting up some more footage from your travels! Thanks.

proving once again that with careful planning u can go anywhere on a 40 ft boat good to see u guys

This must be old footage because it doesn't look like the new Najad 360? Great video either way.

Kjekt å se en ny video fra dere. Nyt norskekysten!!! Mvh Jarle
