1. Love this kind of video showing us original realisations/transformations !
   Amazing boat and realisation !
   Greetings from France

2. Andy missed a chance to pair up his pink neon bobble hat with those skinny acid wash jeans. That would be quite the look.

3. Awsome boat !! Just not quite the right way to grind !!

4. Impressive.

5. Was lucky enough to sail on Falken from Kinsale to Lagos; an amazing adventure on an amazing boat!

6. I think this is faster than most Cruising Catamarans.

7. Beautiful interior

8. I think I may have sailed this boat several times before, was this Albatros or Whirlwind or perhaps neither.

9. Way to go Andy and Mia! Falken looks spectacular, especially her massive cockpit.

10. Beautiful boat. Thoughtful and thorough refit/redesign. At this point AGM is obsolete since Lithium Iron Phosphate is so much better, including for separate engine and navigation banks.

11. Super well refit, such a great boat! 👏

12. My father did a project like this back in the late 80's. He bought a retired 1970's Minimaxi built by Direktor-Gunnel, originally named Boomerang 2, a refitted it to be a luxury cruiser. It was an aluminum sloop at 65'. The finished boat was beautiful with an interior done by a lear jet interior designer and the boat had early A/C system and much of rigging had been converted to hydraulic power. I had many great memories on theat boat.

13. All good guys and very fun and good project.. just please don’t lie when you don’t know.. Such as the maxwells windlass.. just say things like a greater big and strong windlass, as its almost the smallest they make,…….

14. Well done. The tour sparked fond memories of my two trips aboard. HOLD FAST.

15. Great video! Andy and Mia, congrats to you on your new cruising machine. If you ever swing bye Stockholm with Falken I hope I’ll get to see her.

16. Impressive boat, system redundancy was mentioned, if the engine fails mid ocean does the hydropower system proved enough energy to service all the requirements?

17. Absolutely stunning

18. Thank you for putting the heads forward and aft. No more problems from ‘Vic the Toilet Slayer’ on my next trip with you!

19. Really well done !

20. A boat being sailed upwind properly, not a common sight on YouTube. Carry on!

21. Great job showing the boat. I'm a huge proponent of incorporating "racing" tech (aka good sailing tech) into a cruising boat.

    We have what is essentially an offshore race boat that we live aboard, race, and cruise, and what's amazing is how some of the racing characteristics of a boat can actually be a huge benefit for cruising. Just an example, having a deeper keel with weight as deep on the keel as possible, while having a light/carbon rig means you're actually way more stable and experience less roll at anchor than other cruising boats (downside being that you need 20+ ft. of depth to anchor in… but that's usually not an issue in most places we cruise).

22. I love that Norwegian American accent.

23. Thanks for sharing.

    I have a question regarding iPads. I have seen really great software for flying for iPads but my search for sailboat or boat related hasn’t turned up too much. I have Navionics on one and it works great. What other software are you running on your iPads.

24. Did 40,000 nm on the Farr 65's, great boats, and looks like a good job you did!

25. What is the boat made of? Kevlar? Carbon? Fiberglass s or e etc?

26. What was the boats old name?

27. A proper yacht for proper voyaging. Many, many years ago, a friend and myself bought a very tired, retiring First 501 from Moorings Charter in Saint Martaan. She was badly equipped with sails that should have retired years previously. We sailed her back to the UK, no AIS, plotters, radar ect. People said that we were mad, but we wanted a "big" boat with little money. The keel remained bolted, the mast remained upright but we were mighty releaved when we got to Plymouth. A few months later with a lot of hard work and limited funds we had a boat that gave two families years of fun both in The Solent and the Med. At 72 I still wish that I had done some seriuos exploring afloat but she was not the boat for that. I loved the video and think of the places that I never saw. 😂

28. I used to freelance for ondeck in Antigua and Portsmouth they had farr 65's Is fallen one if their old Farr 65?
