3. Fantastic video and boat, she really goes well. Quick question, I think I noticed that there aren't any "Locking Pins" on the rig tensioners (Wand spanners) is there a different locking system or did I just not see it correctly? I know that you have produced some video's in the past regarding the navigation package but, if you have time/are willing, can you give a slightly more in-depth vid regarding the B&G system and how it is connected to the Wide screen display. Also curious, does the B&G autopilot have a heading hold mode as you mentioned in this video that you switched to the Raymarine autopilot. Maybe a quick comment on the comparison of the two Autopilot systems. Sorry for all the questions. Cheers

5. Hi to you, nice crossing. Did you kept the spi also through the night shifts?

6. Since you guys mentioned it, how tight does the auto helm/pilot stay on the Great circle Route? I mean with wind and waves constantly changing the auto pilot must be constantly changing course. Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year to everyone.

7. Very much enjoyed this sail with you guys. Looks like dream trades for you 👌🏼

8. Do you have regenerative sailing on the engine ? ( able to get power from the propeller when motor not running?) ?

9. as usual top quality great footage , nice to see the crew enjoying sailing , so keep sharing and Merry Christmas

10. Parabéns pelo vídeo, sou o mais novo escrito no canal. Fortaleza- CE Brasil

11. We just completed the Canaries-Cape Verde-USVI route a few days ago aboard a 50' X-5 cat. I wish we had a heavier spinnaker to handle the 22-32 kts trades. Instead, we had a somewhat fragile parasailor with max 22kts capability, and I thought that was too much. So instead we angled across the trades with main and genoa, adding several hundred miles to our passage.

12. Amazing boat!

13. How does this Catamaran handle in a bad storm, or crossing the Gulf Stream with it’s large waves?

14. Interesting that you really don’t wear masks, or wear them properly. Don’t you worry about Covid and this new outbreak? Are you anti-vaxxers too?

15. Hello Great video

16. As you will know it is almost impossible to catch the height of waves on film or video. I once got caught in huge swells crossing Biscay in a small long keel yacht, before digital cameras. My stories of mountainous seas fell on deaf ears when I got my film back, it looked like a lovely daysail. I am very envious of you, I never did cross "The pond". I was offered a berth on the ARC but Covid got in the way. I think age makes it likely that will not happen now. Great watching others though, Bon Voyage.

17. 👍👏

18. Parabéns pelo vídeo, muito bom, me escrevi no seu canal e agora estou acompanhando as aventuras de vocês, sucesso, Recife-PE, Brasil. Qual o modelo do seu Catamaran? Ele é muito bonito e funcional.

19. Grootzeil mag voor de wind met spi meer uitbetaald staan. Nu te strak waardoor deze continue overslaat (gijpt). Open zetten en de giek borgen aan de railing tegen gijpen. Dan zeil je veel sneller en relaxter.

20. Красивый фильм!

21. fast and furious, a no-go is racing without life jackets and no harness, that's a kind of russian roulette game!!
    Did you test emergancy man over board at these conditions?
    Think about that and the consequences!

22. Ever need any help? Thank you

23. It looked like your boom needed to be right out when you re going downwind. Even if you needed to bring it up a few degrees to stop gybing.

24. Awesome camera work. Excellent story telling. Bravo!!!

25. Quick question, I know I am a few episodes behind. While doing the Atlantic crossing, how often did you run your Genset? I ask as I see the solar panels on the roof and am curious how much fuel you consumed a day with running the Genset! Congratulations, that looked like an amazing crossing and so nice you did not have to do a sail adjustment three or four times a day!

26. Very good camerawork by Mark. Can I ask him: are you a son of Dirk ?

27. Looks quite impressive, it’s beautiful to watching you sail. Thanks for this great videos.

28. Wow! An incredible sailing vessel and crew. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share it all with us.

29. I love your videos. Looks like a lot of fun! Stay safe and keep making more videos…

30. How wonderful a sailing video that actually shows the boat sailing. Thank you❤️

31. Hello, great video. I’m new to your channel. What boat model is this? Sorry if this was already asked before or covered in other videos. Keep up! 💪

32. Now i know why this channel dont have more subs… Its the subtitles theyre hard too read… Most viewers use there phones to watch and the subtitles is hard to read… Small thick and i dunno .. low quality?

33. Curious if you also looked at Balance Catamarans or any other close alternatives before you chose Outremer. Thanks.

34. I am always curious how you get your B&G to display on a standard monitor

35. Hi, i want to cross the Antarctica too but i have to idea how do it .Any advice please!

36. What date did you start the crossing
