WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of modern-day documentarians, perpetual travelers, and seekers of tall tales.
We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. Self-reliance and living a sustainable lifestyle are a must. It's all about managing our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.
We've lived off the grid for over 10 years now in everything from a Van to RV to a Sailboat. And over time we have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water, and managing our waste.
Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

As a retired naval architect I want to say that II have wished a hundred times for clients like you. The particular requirements that each client needs are the most important part of boat design and construction. You should get EXACTLY what you want and need. Hopefully your designer will also deliver some ideas that will increase your comfort, reduce costs where possible, and deliver the best looking boat as well. I hope you get the best boat possible Skip

@@mini696 I think it's more a case of realism and research. I've been looking at doing this for a whole two weeks and I'd figured everything except a workshop (mostly because I didn't think you'd have space for it). The hybrid drive, electric kitchen and rainwater collection are no brainers and even the most cursory search of the sailing channels will show you that everyone is either praising or complaining about airflow and forward facing nav stations.

Definitely sounds like the HH44 to me! We went with the Seawind 1370, but if I had another chunk of change and a few more years, it would have been the HH44. I love the lines, the spaces, and the hybrid engine! Seth was great to talk to at HH, and obviously he has done the same kind of live aboard research that you guys have. Good luck - I hope for your sake it is the HH44!

I am now buying my last boat (I am over 70). It will have much of what you want as well. A few comments from my experience: Lithium batteries should be UL 1972 certified. That means Master Volt or Xantrex. Aluminium is renewable. Fiberglass is plastic. Like poor quality lithium batteries, propane is a fire waiting to happen. Leave it out. A forward looing sonar is really assuring. So is a FLIR thermal camera. With it, you can get some sleep during your night watch. Finally, "performance" is really misunderstood. It does NOT mean high end speed. It actually refers to the ability to sail lin really light winds. That requires narrow hulls and, consequently, light weight. But, that also means a reduction in creature comforts. There is a compromise.
@BRADH-xw8sw 2 жыл бұрын
Right on there - forward facing sonar would have saved many a boat in badly charted waters and Caribbean bombies. Think it will also give you warning on any sudden sand bar depth change too… but you should be watching your Nav.

@@RogerWilco1 Yes, you are right Roger. I did not mention Lithionics but I should mention that Master Volt and Xantrex have extensive world wide support while Lithionics does not. The same goes for diesel/electric hybrid systems. Herley's new system would be well supported in New Zealand (where Herley is located) but not widely throughout the world. This is also an issue for me because my new (2nd hand) boat has diesel engines using proprietary parts that are well supported in Europe but not elsewhere

Forward sonar needs to look along way ahead, I suspect at 5 knots you won't have enough time for a lot of systems. I see there is one 100 meter system. I read about an Outremer hitting a reef in Tahiti, which because of the solid glass bottom was able to slide back off. On a performance cat I see the dagger boards as another part of safety to prevent grounding.

Reliable, redundant parallel hybrid system (hybrid marine system) 3. Lots of solar 4. Safety mindset 5. No Genset needed 6. Less moving parts, less ICE engines, no sail drive oil changes or sail drive issues in general, more reliability due to parallel system, easier maintenance on engines due to being midship. 7. Thoughtful, safe cockpit design.

From watching all of these sailing shows, I had a similar list. Sailing Uma has Electric engine with Regen. They bought a backup generator (Diesel) to run in low sun areas to power the electric motor. They are also starting a campaign or business to redesign and create your unique living/workspace rather than buy the stock boat layouts which can be antiquated. Home comforts, Uma added a wood stove in their boat for cold areas. Are you getting a desalinator (water maker for safety purposes? SV Delos: How about an electric combo washer/dryer and that satellite wifi dome. Can you totally enclose the cockpit area and adjust your sails from there or even drive the boat in the dining area? can you add an indoor garden to grow things. Lots to dream about, can't wait to see your new baby!🎉

The Wynns are my favorite sailing channel and top 5 of all channels. Anyway, I also watch Sailing Uma and they seem to be pioneers in the world of ReGen sailing. They are hard-core sailors, pushing their self-refurbished mono-hull to it's limits, while focusing on sustainability. They have tackled much of the southern hemisphere, up the Atlantic and a year in the far North including, the Arctic. It is very interesting watching different styles of sailing. I am so excited for the new boat and the opportunities it will provide. Hopefully, it won't take a year for production, like I have seen recently. --Jessica from Florida 🌞

Closest I have seen to your dream boat is the Maine Cat 38 (electric version). Think UMA has shown that electric propulsion with good regen can work well. Other utubers have demonstrated (you included) that electric galleys work. Interested to see what you have found. One question, why hybrid? Personally I would rather have the propulsion/regen system as one system. And have a generator as a separate system with only electrical connections to the engines (being able to bypass the batteries if necessary).

The upcoming Windelo 47' seems like it ticks almost all the boxes previously mentioned except having a known rain capture system (which might be available - since specifications haven't yet come out on it). The rain capture part is the biggest mystery, since most manufacturers do not have this onboard - Xquisite being the only other one I can think of as having it standard (and they only build 50' + yachts). Seems like, since the hurricanes hit the Caribbean and destroyed so many yachts/catamarans, most manufactures have really doubled down on charter yacht design, with feature sets not friendly to long term cruisers/couples - even companies like Leopard. It's a shame that most folks only have the option of retrofitting these boats to make them work rather than having a brand or two focused on this market segment.

I've seen more of the 482 than the 442 and I'm sure that either will fit the bill with the Integral Electric System & LiFePO4 batteries. I love what they are doing & I agree- it matches with your goals. I'm excited for you, and I think it will highlight an awesome boat builder. Good on Ya!!!

Yeah as they were going down the list I kept thinking Balance probably has that feature and they do have the new 442....

I just bought a boat, and Phil lost me as a customer when he demanded I use him as a buyers broker, not just contact him for boats he represents. (there should never be two brokers in a deal, you need a law firm and a surveyor, not a buyers broker.) So, none of the boats he represents were considered. (Fortunately, none of them were very good, and Balance is booked out years.)

@@RogerWilco1 I struggle with his ego, but- he genuinely has been part of improving the cat building industry. He has moved the whole crowd from accommodating the rental fleet to addressing the private buyer. Outremer & now HH were a few firms that were taking care of private buyers.

I was in contact with Seawind last year about building an all electric 1370 and they told me that they wouldn't do it. I hope that they changed their position on that, we'll just have to see? I was looking for a diesel Genset to assist the battery bank when needed. They poo-poo-ed the idea.

@@Centurion04 Well true that, but I strongly feel that the 1370 has a far better layout than thw OC/HH44, and although I do not have any info on how these boats are constructed, I am extremely impressed with what Ruby Rose has shown us how Seawing is building their boat.

Your size limit (under 50 feet) knocked out the top two that I was thinking of, either a Sunreef ECO-50 or a Silent-Yachts 60 (since they've stopped building the 55). I definitely agree with some others about how reassuring it would be to have a FLIR and forward looking sonar in addition to the more normal suite of electronics. For some reason, I'm thinking you may be joining the crew of Ruby Rose in Ho Chi Minh City for a Seawind 1370 although they don't list hybrid propulsion on their website as an option.

I suspect the 1370 will be too heavy and no dagger boards, guessing it won't be very fast.

@@AORD72 The 1370 has a lot of carbon fiber in the build. Not as much as some of the higher end boats of course, but enough to get the above waterline weight down somewhat. I've been following Ruby Rose and they're currently documenting the build of their own after renting a 1260 for quite some time while sailing around the Whitsunday Islands.

So cool to see you guys continue to grow in this lifestyle, all of the trials and tribulations have been fascinating. So happy you have a new home .... cannot wait for you to introduce her to us. Kinda sad to see Curiosity go, kinda like losing your first pet dog. Whoever ends up with Curiosity will be for sure getting a boat that will last a while b4 anything major will need to be done, less any premature catastrophic failures. So, congratulations guys. So anxious to see your new house. Be well, be safe. hurry up and sign on that dotted line already!
