  • Welcome to the Outremer 55, Moonshot. Let's have a look around and go for a sail! This is one SERIOUS performance catamaran, and yet still one of the most comfortable cats we've ever been on. Comfort and performance...what should we do with it? How about an audacious plan to sail some SERIOUS mileage really soon.

    Fantastic video Okelleys! The Outremere marketing folks must be pinching themselves to think they’ve signed up for over 100,000 people to watch 20 minutes of content that’s so heavily focused on their product. Of course the quality of your content, production value, curated vignettes of you two charming people sums up your brand. As always I’m SO impressed, thank you!

    Oh my - epic journey here! This reminds me of my days working with large project contractors (i.e. interstate highways, dams, etc.) when the project owner announces which general contractor will be awarded the contract.... it's a moment of "Yea man, we cot the job", to then privately "Holy XXX, we got the job"! So excited for you two and all the Outremer team! Safe travels, and Happy Holidays!

    Seeing more detailed views of the interior, this yacht screams quality wherever I look. Very impressed. Everything appears to be top-notch and placed in the perfect location.

    How wonderful for Outremer to recognize that they lost a lot of visibility when SLV moved to Rapido. All the major cat builders are on a major YT channel. Matthieu and team made a great choice in selecting a channel that will bring back the visibility to the crown jewel of the Outremer line. I know you 2 will do a great job promoting the quality and capabilities of the boat.

    This was by far one of the best videos you have made. It’s your new style and the way you guys are taking the shots. The well constructed clips, insight, and information. It gave me a sense I was with you while doing the test sail.
    Now you don’t have to make them this amazing the time. Because it’s becomes the new normal and makes your life harder.

    What a magnificent yacht. A lot of complexity though. She must be very intimidating. What a fantastic opportunity.

    • @TheOKellys
      @TheOKellys  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Yes, intimidating…yes or at least that’s the right perspective to have. It’s like flying a fast airplane…anticipate, be procedural, trust the numbers, and stay ahead of it. That being said, we had her out in real wind yesterday, and we didn’t have a spooky moment. Just a lot to learn about systems and handling. We’ll get there.

      @TheOKellys  Před 6 měsíci +1

      I like your analogy. lol. Those of us who have lived rural and then moved to the city know that they each have their charms and there can be a yearning no matter. It’s what they bring out in you. Our fixers have made us better mechanics, electricians, canvas makers, etc. This boat will make us better sailors and we’ve already learned a ton about integrated systems, but I won’t be rewiring or doing any mods on this boat. There’s good fun in those too. So, will she spoil us for anything less than the best? I guess, maybe. Or maybe we carry our new knowledge into another fixer someday. Hard to say. Life is one great experiment!

    Some months back I sent you a comment in witch I that i said that a boat would come to you. Well it looks like it has happened and it is far more than I could have imagined. I know it is not yours yet but Lord willing it will be or one just like it. May life keep blessing you in the coming year
