Embarrassed at "Outremer Week" Catamaran Training

  • We're seeing a wave of inexperienced owners buying really big, powerful catamarans. We think this could be a recipe for frustration and perhaps even danger. Competency is really important to safe, relaxed operation, and it seems that Outremer shares our view on this. They invited us to Outremer Week in La Grande-Motte to see for ourselves their semi-annual training for future owners.
    We also get to see Nick's acting skills in a skit any new boat owner should watch....and this is while he's dealing with a reaction to prescription medicine!

    I just bought my catamaran today. And thank you to you guys. I've been into Boating for a while, owned a 23 foot sail boat, a 26 sail boat and a 35 foot power cruiser. Sold it five years ago with new but uncertain dreams. I took inspiration from many places large and small, mostly from within and my imagination. What really did it I think it was watching Jacque Cousteau as a kid, and a poor one living in the projects as far as the sea as once could be. But the flame was lit somewhere deep down. And along the way, channels like your helped keep the flame there. Your early videos breaking down the costs of things, including your retrofit of Clarity were amazing. Just the type of practical advice people need and value. So a thanks for adding an extra thumb on the scale. We are all stones dropped in centre of the water, we don't always see how far the ripple travels. But your ripple is traveling far and wide. Cheers. Great channel.

    With all these newbies buying huge boats there should be some real good deals in 2/3 yrs when people realize actual sailing can be real tough and isn’t travelling 1st class, even though you’re in a $2 million boat. As a long time boater, owning one can be a real pain in the butt at t8mes.

      I think what you are saying is likely. It says nothing about smarts or capability....some people just don't take to it. That has always been the case and always will be...has very little to do with the boat itself (though yes, some boats are MUCH better on the ocean). The open ocean is a rather extreme environment and it is VERY difficult to portray in a video. A rather famous offshore sailing instructor said once that 60% of the people who take his course decide that ocean sailing is not for them. I'd say that kind of experience is money well-spent. So....yeh, I think it is likely you'll see a wave of sales in the next couple of years simply because there have been a LOT of new boats sold. It's simple statistics. But, as I try to make the point in the video...training and competence will give anyone a better shot of enjoying the experience.

    Sounds like psoriatic dermatitis. If so, they probably prescribed a corticosteroid. I use this stuff, and was told to use it at night, and not in the sun. Also read that prolonged use around the eyes can contribute to cataracts. (fine print: consult your physician or health care professional... may cause runny or bloody noise, shingles, night sweats, toe fungus, irritable bowel, motion sickness, wondering eye, restless leg, fear of heights, fear of flying, fear of sailing, or thoughts of buying an RV)

    As to the facial rash/swelling. The skin around the eyes (periorbital) is very sensitive and can be your "canary in the mine" for allergies. The allergy could come from topicals like skin care products, hair products, hair dyes but also reactions to jewelery/metals in the nose, ears, lips, on wrists/fingers, belt buckles. With recurrent swelling/rash, consider food allergies, allergies to medicines. Allergic type reactions can also come from other problems brewing . . . so get checked!

    Surgical super glue and butterfly strips are going to work as well as stitches in most cases, but I love the idea of more education for sailors in general and especially for people buying performance catamarans with little to no experience.

      @@GregHathorn Wow. Thank you for reaching out! Yes, you are both right they are very different boats indeed. The reason for our dilemma is short term vs long term perspective. Short term we are beginner sailors and want to build our confidence in the meds. Long term we know we want to cross oceans and travel the world. If feels stupid to buy a boat that we know we might outgrow, but it also feels even more stupid to go for a boat that is three shoe sizes too large for us. I guess going for the outremer is like getting a lambo with a fresh drivers license :D Curious to hear your thoughts.

    • @GregHathorn
      @GregHathorn Před 8 měsíci +6

      The Leopard 42 is our second boat in 15 years. First was a monohull that we learned to sail on. Questions to consider: do you have time on the water in any boat, so that you understand the conditions you will face? How long is "long term", as that should be taken into account as well. If not for ten years, then your Outremer might need some serious refits before your long distance journey can begin, so you could start with the Leopard, then trade up. Are you wanting comfort or speed? Most catamarans will provide comfort, so the interest in Outremer must be about speed. If so, then ask yourself if you are strong enough physically and mentally to handle the demands put upon you when sailing fast. The loads on the boat, and the stresses on you, as well as your reaction time grows exponentially when going fast. To me, it came down to keeping things relatively simple and comfortable. I'm 60 years old, and I know that my wife isn't necessarily an athletic type, so we decided that the comforts of the Leopard suited us best.@@philippec9769

    I can’t wait to see you putting up great sailing content, but for Kim and I your boat shopping and health issues really lined up exactly with ours. We love your videos and fully support your efforts to get back on the water while we keep searching for our first motor yacht. There’s just no real way to do the Great Loop and other inland waterways with a mast. 😢
    But hey…electric sail drives and much more affordable LiFePo4 batteries make over-reliance on diesel a thing of the past, and we’re excitedly looking for a great boat with a bad engine that someone is looking to bail out of!😂

    • @earthman3000

      Electric sail drives are not something you want on a boat, at least yet. If you need torque and power to get out of danger in 6-8 foot seas as you get away from a breaking reef, or you run under power for 12 hours at night (or day) you won’t be using an electric motor. Dangerous for real world conditions when your life and boat really need it.

    So it's not a 52, so it is a 55? Don't people sometimes cancel their new boat and it is already part built, leaving Outremer with a space to fill? Doesn't Outremer have a funding option? Really hope you get a Outremer, they look so fast and sexy. You both look very happy, life is short for you (and me), best to buy top end products.

      RIght move. Love the 52 but a new build price is going to be impossible to justify as used boats drop in price. We've seen these market turns before. Used boat prices will decline for at least a year - maybe two because a small number of desperate sellers will have to take any price they can get driving the price down for all. New builds will keep going up in price because of inflation. Eventually, we will reach a new supply/demand balance. A buyer with cash in hand has tremendous leverage right now. RIght place at the right time :)

    An episode of foreshadowing? 😁
    The play lead-in at 13:30 reminds me of a 3-day white water trip on the John Day River with a good friend and co-worker, another good friend, and a sport teammate I knew only on the field who my co-worker friend had invited on our trip. We took two open top canoes, as the toughest rapids were only class 3. My co-worker friend paired me with my sport teammate.
    After the first day of easy canoeing I was compelled to ask my “shipmate” a question: “How much time have you spent on the water?” His reply, “What do you mean by time?” To which I explained “The number of times you’ve been in a watercraft of any type.” He smiled and said “Three. In power boats.”
    By the end of the trip, we were lucky to be alive.

    Hi Guys, Love following your adventurers & can understand the frustrations you have been going through. I am a factory hand at an Australian boat building company called McConaghy Boats, and whilst their history started with monohulls, and more specifically high performance racing yachts such as Wild Oats 11, a super maxi, to name just one, they also build catamarans & I was wondering if you had heard of them. They have a state of the art factory in China & a British channel called Planet Sail did a factory tour that I'm sure you would be interested in. The episode was titled "How boats are built in China" & showcases everything they build from foiling dinghies to their latest high performance catermaranes & a lot in-between. Anyway, good luck with the search. Cheeres from down under.

    My wife and I had been on boats our whole lives (and, I had been sailing since I as a teenager), and we still had some butt clenching moments on our two year longs cruises on our 42 foot monohull sailboat. I can't imagine what it must be like to be taking a boat that big (or even bigger) cruising with just a few months of boating and sailing experience. At times it must be terrifying (unless they don't even know enough to know how much trouble they are in!)

So now, a naturopathic approach always is my first step in healing. Just some food for thought.

    Not an M.D. but just thought I'd throw this out there if you would like to try... In Europe there is a 'heavy duty' skin care cream called Locobase. It's only available at real Pharmacies, so not the 'alternative' a.k.a. snake oil ones. It comes in two grades. Locobase Protect and Locobase Repair. You'll have to double check so that it's safe to use close to the eyes, but perhaps that can be worth a try...
