Pe ce fel de barcă am nevoie ca să îmbătrânesc



Ca persoană în vârstă interesată de croazieră, ce ar trebui să caut într-o barcă. Navigam extins de-a lungul Coastei Australiei de Est cu catamaranul nostru de 13 metri. Alăturați-vă nouă în timp ce explorăm noi zone de croazieră, bare transversale, remediam tot felul de probleme, călărim în vreme nefavorabilă și trăim la bord pentru perioade lungi de timp. Avem chiar și o listă de redare care ne duce pe bărcile altor oameni. Sperăm că videoclipurile noastre îi încurajează pe alții să se îmbarce și să experimenteze acest stil de viață fantastic.

  1. Hi Norm We always look forward to your posts, I remember when we cruised the East Coast 20 years ago we thought the liveaboards we met along the way were the fittest retirees both physically and mentally ever, Also as a community they were always looking out for each other. If you hadn’t arrived when you were supposed to be, they would be on the VHF with “ where the bloody hell are ya”

  2. Hi Norm as a professional catamaran boat builder,I have really enjoyed listening to you,the common sense you speak is spot on a few customers of mine need to listen to this,good advise ,cheers.

  3. What an excellent, well thought out and fully comprehensive view of the issues facing most newbies (like me) to sailing , especially for us older people. I'm completing a 40 ft power catamaran whose original builder sadly died before completion. I'm doing it as a solar boat so I've considered a lot of the issues you raise in this video but will find out once ar sea the 'known unknowns' alomng with plenty of 'unknown unknowns'. I have subscribed so I'm going to check out your other videos. THANKS!

  4. G’day Dude, I started off watching your videos years ago and that got me into buying my own old girl. Now I continue to watch your stuff, because it’s really informative. This latest instalment is testament to your teaching style. I loved it. Thanks again for everything you provide. Cheers, Deano 👍⚓

  5. Ok well done i sailed around britian uk when i was 23 down to jersey etc then across to france french canals to med then around med to isle of elba then down coast line of tunis then across to Gib and sold my boat that was years ago now thi king to do it again at 70s but around to italy motorboat instead of sail 43ft sealine any suggestions for a ols salt lol 😅

  6. I was a commercial fisherman for 45 years, 35 of those years in sou west fiordland of New Zealand and I’d say what you say is 100%. KISS is definitely no1. Keep your boat as simple as possible so you can fix everything unless you’re wealthy because engineers are a ridiculous price these days.

  7. Hi norm you forgot about wooden boats have lived on one for 12 years in the uk and its been great ok you have to keep up with mentananins but that's not a hard ship if you do it regularly

  8. Dear Norm, i have serious lung problems, what would you recommend as upgrade/feature that's helps out a lot when your short of breath?

  9. Fantastic advice video. It does confirm in many ways my choice. Solaris 42, twin diesel, solar panels, plenty of battery power, water maker, 4 double cabins and 3 shower toilets. Double head sail with electric furling/reefing. Holding tanks set at water level so the with valves open the tanks are constantly washed by wave action. It has to be a catamaran. I would love to see the plans of your cat. It sounds like logical perfection.

  10. My cop of tea. Me and my great wife is planning for a life aboard living boat. Growing older with too big property to take care off we want a more layback lifestyle. Lagoon 42 is the boat we are planning to buy. We been boating our whole life but only for weekends and holydays. Now it is all in taking control doing what we want😊😊😊

  11. Thanks for this episode. A very good, and thorough, examination of the many aspects of owning a boat and boating. And especially how they bear on older boaters' enjoyment of the experience.
    My wife and I are VERY fortunate. We were young one-design racing sailors who also crewed on cruiser/racers in the Seattle area. One of our skippers gave us the best and most valuable advice of our boating lives when we shared with him that we were thinking of buying our own boat. He stressed two things: 1) truly and realistically define your mission; and, 2) buy the smallest boat you can find that will fully meet that mission in safety and with relative comfort. In 1982 we bought our 1976 37' Pacific Trawler. We decided on a trawler rather than a sailboat because it best fit our mission. It still does. Our mission was to cruise the Iniside Passage from Seattle, through British Columbia, and on to Southeast Alaska (roughly 1,000 miles), economically, safely, and in comfort.
    The Pacific Trawler met that mission, perhaps even better than we initially thought. The older we get, the better the fit. We are in our late 70's now. We expect to be able to cruise the boat well into our 80's. (NOTE: the local joke in the Pacific Northwest is that all boats are powerboats in the summers. Some have masts. Some don't. There is a real lack of sailing winds in our summers. But we still also own an Etchells keeboat for racing, and so we can think of ourselves as sailors.)
    Our trawler, Iron Wind, is a stout fiberglass hull that displaces about 28,000 lb when the tanks are full. The layup is .8 cm of external reinforced fiber glass, with 1.2 cm of balsa core, and an additional .8 cm of reinforced fiberglass laid up inside the core. Iron Wind carries 450 USgallons of diesel and 400 USgallons of water. We have never lived aboard year around, but have spent 3 to 4 months on the boat each summer for many years. We can go from our home in Friday Harbor, WA to Ketchikan, AK and return on a single tank of fuel, thanks to our old-tech Lehman-Ford diesel that burns about 2 gallons per hour at 6.5 kt. We even replaced the first engine with a rebuilt L-F in 2015 rather than moving on to a modern electronic-controlled diesel.
    Your video reinforces much of what we have learned over the 40+ years we have owned and enjoyed our trawler. Anyone interested in the 37' and 40' Pacific Trawlers can easily find examples on Yachtworld and similar sites. Sail on – and on, and on.

  12. Saw your short mentioning feeling flat in the morning on Carnivore / Keto … I found on Keto I need a mineral supplement. Also, you can have a small amount of oil and it will not break ketosis. I have my Cod Liver Oil for vitamin D and Fish Oil for healthy omega oils. So when I am having a fasting day, and need a small boost, I take those. It's not much and it DOES NOT throw you out of Ketosis. One of the secret hacks. But also, the. minerals are super important for you brain health when you are in ketosis.

  13. Hi Norm, great video and as a 70 year old retired person and now full time sailor for seven years I have to say well done. I chose a 40foot GRP production catamaran and that has been perfect for all the reasons you describe. Two areas you didn’t mention and I get why you didn’t but have become vital to me are anchoring and networking. It took two years to get anchoring correct with so many variables ; weather, equipment location and idiots in day boats. Most of my knowledge comes from networking. There is so much information out there and the best comes from your fellow cruising sailors. In any anchorage there is hundreds of years of collective wisdom of like minded people on any topic. I love my life on my boat you touched on one more topic and that has to be constant vigilance; again weather, equipment, location and attitude. Plan everything and assume nothing. Well done Norm and thanks.

  14. Mate hello from Jimboomba ! This was absolutely so great to watch🔥 we’ve been into boats for a long time and had quite some rigs ! We love the tassie cray boats with that little extra cab extension and the beautiful lines they have . Massive cat fan though too , all the money I’d have both 😂❤ cheers mate 🤙

  15. I watched this video this evening and it is my first time seeing one of yours. I appreciate your approach to telling it like it is. This video has made me feel good about the many choices I made with my purchase. I am 72 yrs old but in good shape for my age so hopefully I can get on for several years in my new home. (in my 3rd year now)

    The route I took was to purchase a fixer upper, and it has been all of that as it had basically been chartered to death with minimal maintenance. Advice I would give to a normal person is that unless they are extremely mechanically inclined, is to to find a boat that was not in charter and owned by people that took very good care of it. This will save so much work and expense.

    My boat tics off most of the items you touch on, perhaps with the exception of the KISS principle. My solar, alternators and regulators, inverters, etc. are a bit too complicated and I worry about future maintenance issues with what I have but it is all working Ok for now.

    FWIW, my boat is a 2008 Leopard 40 owners version. I do sometimes yearn for a monohull because of the costs associated with having two of nearly everything, but then the redundancy seems to make it all worthwhile. Crossing from Mexico to Cuba and losing an engine along the way in rough weather, due to a broken impellor, made having engine redundancy well worthwhile!

  16. What a fantastic video, been looking at boats for past year, most of what you covered I already thought about, so was great to hear from an old seadog confirming my research. Thank you so much.

  17. Your years of living and cruising aboard come through in your recommendations for a boat to live aboard in retirement, all good points. Our last boat was a fuel efficient 12m powercat, and we were able to cruise to Thailand and back. We only sold it and went ashore when we decided that the maintenance was getting too hard physically to do ourselves and didn't want others to do it.

  18. I’ve just bought a doer upper cruise craft 550 outsider. Nothing like what you are talking about. But needs work done on the stringers and floor. Hoping it won’t cost me more to do than it’s worth like you mentioned. 🤦🏼‍♂️

  19. I have a steel sail assisted trawler, Diesel Duck 44. Two sails, paravanes, 1200 gallons fuel. John Deere 75 hp all mechanical. 1.7 GPH. Full size engine room. Came to the states from china on her own bottom.

  20. The carnivore menu for your best health. Beef, eggs, fish, bacon and butter. Watch doctor Shawn Baker and doctor Ken Berry.
    10 thousand years ago humans only ate meat because the plants were toxic.😊

  21. Thanks Norm for the run down of what's already on my list! Im now Subscribed! 😊
    Retired, racing sailor here from Hawaii, now beached in Destin, Northwest Florida (to help parents downsize and relocate). Meanwhile I'm seeking an Island Cruiser/fellow sailor to expolre the Caribbean with. Drop me a note if you guys have any referrals or helpful connections to offer! Mahalo!
