You are headed toward a performance mono. I had raced monos for decades, and also raced a Hobie Cat for 10 years. Great thrills, but also many capsizes. When it came time to buy a boat to cruise around the world, I went with a performance mono. It didn't have what I call the pucker factor when the weather is rough and you know that one mistake will end your adventure. It was also faster on passages than similar length catamarans because when the autopilot drives the boat 99% of the time, you have to sail a cat very conservatively. Best of all, the mono cost a fraction of what a cat does.

One of the wisest takes on this was from some older ex professional windsurfers or kite boarders. The couple said they wanted a boat big enough to bring their fast toys but be comfy for when you are in take it easy mode. They were giddy on their fountaine pajot, we'll go fast when we get there and we'll be well rested in between.

this is really interesting and think about this a lot. When there is low wind you want a fast boat, but when the windsea is high you need a safe boat -the lack of speed is not the issue. How do you balance both? We charter, so the bottom of the pyramid, and always have small factory sails -we would get a lot of perf out of a proper rig alone vs getting into a high perf boat. I really just need an efficient low wind sail! And most important part! danger always shows up when the weather is not nice – 100% of the time! You need to test a boat out in rough conditions or you dont know the boat.

Great video displaying your learning, situational awareness and mission intent for the plane or the boat. Just like you guys, we love being out seeing the natural beauty and meeting, helping and being helped by great people while cruising. We're on boats of many sizes and designs in the same beautiful anchorage, island trail or beach. I think your prediction on the market affect will be accurate. The romantic vision tempered by sober reality puts it all in perspective.

Dear O'Kelly's, Checkout what Delos is doing for Delos 2.0. Looks a lot a Chris White Cat with forward cock pit but made out of aluminum. Maybe you can find a yard and do something similar with the designer of your choice. But have no idea of the $$ involved versus buying a great used boat that fits your needs.

Congratulations to an entertaining, funny, insightful video! You address many points that we are mulling over and over as well. My wife Kathy and I live on a 2020 Leopard 45 and we love the liveability and the space on board. However we would love to have a bit of extra speed and a better sailplan. Downwind sailing in up ton 20-23 kts True Wind Speed is good thanks to our Oxley Spinnaker, but upwind tacking is inefficient and the hobby-horsing is making it no fun at all. So we think about a faster boat which also has some ability to tack upwind from time to time. December 2023 we did our second east-west Atlantic crossing 2760nm in 21 days, averaging 5,5 kts. Maybe in a Outremer 52 we would have done 7,5kts? In such a case we would have had 15 days instead of 21. Big difference. BUT: Over the last 3 years we lived 80% on board and made aprox 15'000 nautical miles with an average of 5,8 kts, giving us roughly 2590 hrs underway, which equals around 12% of the total time we were on board. True, the range of destination reachable in a daytrip changes significantly, but how important is ist? We are still undecided, maybe we would travel more with a faster boat, because it's more fun… 😉 However, the market may change, and maybe you are right, Nick, and some of the first time boat owners who have chosen a perfomance cat may come to the conclusion they are in over their heads and put them on the market. Meanwhile I really hope you find a boat, at least one that is good to live the life on the water even if maybe not the fastest one out there… 🙂 Would love to meet you again!

So Nick I imagine now you have understand what I told you all those year back in St Augustine when you come out of the water with your Leopard 46 and next to us on the hard with our Outremer 55. The best boat is the one with the least compromises for you. So good luck to the 2 of you looking and your best compromise. It could be a cat a mono an RV or a cabin were ever , but what ever that is enjoy.

Spot on! The crew must be happy and healthy onboard and that starts with good seamanship and boat handling skills. The right boat is better than the fastest boat. And a “production” cat can be the right boat! In fact, not all production cats are slow and heavy and with the right sailors and a “complete” set of sails you can go “fast” but the getting there isn’t to be missed out on! You’ll find the right boat and I’m glad you are still enjoying the adventure along the way!
