In August of 2017 we sold everything and moved aboard Balachandra, a 1986 C&C44 sailboat, then sailed it over 300 nautical miles to Halifax Nova Scotia to spend a cold Canadian winter in the frozen waters of the North Atlantic. Sailing Balachandra is our CZcams sailing vlog inspired by other great channels such as Delos and La Vagabonde, which documents the sailing adventures of myself and my partner Nawal as we navigate the globe. We also dive into lots of DIY boat projects both above and below decks, and share with you all of the pros and cons of living aboard full time. Sailing Balachandra is published weekly so please subscribe so you don't miss out on future videos!

Great video tour of your C&C 44. We recently purchased a 1984 C&C 35 that is our practice boat. I am truly impressed with the structural integrity of our boat. I’ve sailed on C&C’s since I was a kid, however owning one really opened my eyes as to the quality design/build.
In 4.5 years we will be severing our ties with land. So in the next three years, we will find our forever go anywhere boat, fix her up and fulfill our lifelong dream. I have been scouring CZcams sailing channels and learning the great and not so great features of boats in the 40-45’ range. Your modified C&C 44 will be an interesting addition to our list of possibilities.
I just found your channel and will be binge watching.
Thank you for the tour.
Bruce

Thanks for watching Bruce! Totally agree on the C&C however I didn't mention in the video some of the minor acrobatics we have to do because of all the racing incluence in the design. A lot of boats that came later through the 90s and 2000 period have sugar scoops and large open cockpits that make boarding and entertaining much easier. Good luck with your plans! :)

Nice like🍂

[@jamescarid3448]

Nice boat. Is Li in the future, prices are coming down? Cheers.

I grew up on a 30 C n C. Love your Yacht! Was it manufactured with a hydraulic boom vang? Only drawback for Caribbean is your keel depth but I bet she is awesome on the high seas!

[@SailingBalachandra]

Yes, the hydraulics are standard on the 44 (at least they were in 1986)

How does your dog use the bathroom while under way?

[@SailingBalachandra]

Oooh good question. Life jacket and tether and up on the foredeck if the waves aren't splashing over the bow. Sometimes he comes back wet! ... he builds up to it, doesn't like going when the boat is moving but he will.

[@Tomcat3406]

You seem to sail alot only using your head sail. Why?

Sorry, hut compared to the other sailors on CZcams such as Delos, Telula tribe, and so on, these two seem very rehersed.
