In July 2021 our Outremer 55 Greatcircle was delivered in the South of France. Since then we have been sailing fulltime and participated in the GLYWO 500, a sailing rally around the world.
One year later we have arrived on Tahiti in French Polynesia from where our journey will continue in July 2022.
This summary shows the highlights of the 52 mostly weekly KZfaq videos covering our trip over the past year.

❤️❤️ Love, love, love your videos. Thank you! I cry as I watch your beautiful black carbon bow sprit and know it is now garbage, but celebrate that both you & Outremer worked to build a fix and continue on your adventure. 😊

It’s pretty boring right now waiting on the captain to arrive before we can go sailing again 🙈😎. Usually though the combination of the actual sailing and exploring new places brings more than enough excitement. Even the longer crossings are not boring at all, being in a rally does help too.

Your videos are always wonderful and extremely inspiring! One question now that 1 year has passed since launching: which antifouling are you using and how it performs after 1 year? How long do you plan it to last / when do you think to redo it? Super fair winds! Daniele

@CatGreatcircle 2 жыл бұрын

The original antifouling from the factory was Nautix A88. Worked fine during the first year but needed replacement then. It’s not available in French Polynesia so we had to switch now to Seajet 039 and because they don’t have it in black either to greenish grey like we had on the Lagoons. On the Lagoon we had to do it again every 2 years.

@edenjsailcharteradventures9408 2 жыл бұрын

@@CatGreatcircle Thank you very much for your quick and kind reply. Highly appreciated! Actually, we were going to apply the Seajet 039 too; it is very comforting that you had a good experience with it and that you are going to renew it. Super fair winds and hope to cross path with you soon. We really love your videos and even more the way and style by which you approach all this. You both are amazing! Our most sincere congratulations

@@CatGreatcircle No option to use CopperCoat? I'm hearing from other boats they have excellent results from it. I suspect it might be an issue for the environment, as it releases copper ions to the water (that's what kills the growth), on the other hand, all the other antifouling paints are also poisonous as heck...

Yes some people are really happy with it when it is applied in the right way. I don’t like the colour and for our usage period there is no financial benefit

Great video…even a year later. Thanks for sharing your journey. I have a question about that boat damaging your bow sprit: How was the repair paid for? Insurance? Did that company that owned that boat that hit you pay for it? Or did you have to pay out of your pocket? Curious who pays for such accidents when at sea or moored.

@CatGreatcircle 9 ай бұрын

The insurance of the other boat did pay but only up to the max sum insured which was ridiculously low for a commercial boat like that. It’s better not to be hit 🙈

@perkygrubb 9 ай бұрын

@@CatGreatcircle thanks so much for your reply. That's awesome Outremer has a Rapid Response Team that will literally fly to your location and make repairs! I suppose other high-end yacht makers (Oyster, HR) have similar services. I agree, better not to be hit! Was their max amount enough to cover the repair? I'm asking these questions to better understand my future potential expenses and plan for them. Thanks again for answering!

The 5X is 30 cm wider overall and the transoms and bows are longer. On the 55 the headroom is better. The rest is about the same. The interior space on the 55 somehow feels bigger, probably because of the big sliding doors and the extra headroom. The 360 vision on the 55 from the inside is much better.
