A Tale of Two Cruisers

Күн бұрын

I'm stuck in the marina with bad weather and take a look at two very different cruising boats.
We cruise extensively along the East Australian Coast on our 13 meter catamaran. Join us as we explore new cruising grounds, cross bars, fix all kinds of problems, ride out rough weather and live aboard for extended periods.
We even have a playlist that gets us on other peoples boats.
We hope that our videos encourage others to get on board and experience this fantastic lifestyle.

I look forward to your videos each week, they are interesting and informative. I'm an ex-boat owner, my last was a 10m cruising cat, must have owned about 20 boats in my 81 years. I hope you keep going as long as you can. You give a lot of pleasure to us old dudes. I have no doubt with your friendly nature there will be another lady in your life. If not, dogs are great company, always agree with your decisions and appreciate every minute you spend with them!

This was great Norm, enjoyed the interviews and information on the other boats. 200ltrs an hour 🤑 @ mid 20 knots, thats unreal. Great stuff mate, we were down Tannum Sands over the weekend and seen Peggy Anne moored in the river.

Hi Norm, 1st comment, envy your choice of life style, we went land based in a 12m Denning Bus I fitted out. My brother and his wife (Brett &Debbie) are currently living in their cruising yacht “Impetuous” at the Kepple bay marina while he learns all about boating and doing some maintenance on the boat, if you are looking for an interview he might oblige and the rest of his family would get a buzz out of seeing his rig up close and how he is going with his choice of lifestyle.

Sounds great Dude. Unfortunately the vids are a little behind and I'm a bit further south now.

WOW! Lord Dude, this was brilliant. I love both boats but my vote goes to *"BUCKET LIST"* which has all the bells and whistles. I think it will have to be back to uni for me to be able to understand the rigamarole of that "HOUSE KEEPING" system. Where to next Lord Dude? Are you coming back to Victoria or are you staying up at *ANSTACIA'S PALACES"*

What type of boat is yours Norm? Or, does anyone else know?

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 7 ай бұрын

Hi Bob. The hulls were built by Nustar. The rest by me. Merry Xmas Dude

@bobcoleman7398 7 ай бұрын

@@MotorSailingforOldDudes wish I had your many talents mate. I was going to look out for one if it was a production boat. Seems so practical, my favourite type of boat, being a motor-sailer, AND a catamaran-type hull. Love your work mate.
