Thanks for the interview. Seth gave a really good summary of some key points about construction, the hybrid drive modes, etc. Very glad that HH is trying to build more eco-friendly boats and that they are hopefully producing these in the Philippines and not China.

Mar 1 2024. Seth was so right about HH.. They just deliver an absolute beauty to Jason and Nikki Wynn. A 2024 unique all electric state of the art HH44OC Catt. They documented the entire carbon based build process at the factory along with great interviews with the HH team. It's all available on their Gone with the Wynn's channel and extremely interesting.

The Sailing Family is an incredible travel channel. You don’t have to know a thing about sailing and you don’t even have to care about it. It’s really incredible how much love there is raising their three amazing children! Just the creative way that birthdays are celebrated is amazing and remarkable! None of us knows how long we will be on this earth and they live everyday like it’s their last day with no regrets. There is incredible love for every group of people that they encounter! Please watch every incredible video,but you can start with Archer and throw some Honeymoon, before the kids, when you have the time!

Great interview. We love Seth and family and think HH nailed it by bringing this incredible cruising family on board. Can’t wait to see Seth on his own 44 (or 55??!!) representing such a cutting edge Cat Builder. I’ve been watching the Ruby Rose 2 journey and thought a SeaWind may be the go but this HH44 looks incredible. It really makes me think we need to see Seth and family on an HH giving ‘on the fly’ commentary and input. Cheers

They look like great beautiful boats. Last year at Annapolis I walked over to see the HH cat. I didn't know very much about them. No one was on board the boat, but the person at the front said, "You need an appointment and there are no more appointments." End of conversation. I signed a contract for a >2 year delivery on a Seawind 1600 (Hull #16). Later I found out that the wait for the HH was less than a year. That would've been very interesting to me. The hybrid option sounds absolutely terrific. As a long time sea kayaker I know that the quieter you are the more sea life will come to you and the less stress you cause the sea life. But, I would never want to have a four hour upwind leg with only two hours of battery/electric motor. I'd like to see more video of HH's actually being sailed, crossing oceans, etc...

@MultihullCentral1 2 жыл бұрын

It’s a great point and subject. The electric motors have a fuel supply like any other motor, but it’s energy stored in batteries. That will be expended faster if punching into head on conditions than if flatter conditions which is why your diesel motors are there as a backup. Sail to your destination, electric motor in between sails and diesel to get out of trouble. Net result is less fuel burn, less maintenance and several options of energy supply

@kirkb3473 2 жыл бұрын

My wife and I found the exact opposite of your encounter to be true with the HH representatives, they were more than accommodating for us without and appointment and extremely gracious and helpful. Boat shows can be tough on the people working, so I always cut them some slack as it's tough to have 1,000 conversations over a 3-4 day period. You should be very happy with your 1600 though, that's a very nice boat as well, and $1M less expensive which pays for a lot of margaritas!

No sir not on these mean machines…resin infused with super strong carbon bulkheads all fused together as one monocoque structure. The strength for weight ratio is unbeatable with carbon. Alloy can provide equivalent strength but much heavier. Alloy is very durable in terms of knocks and impacts if in sketchy locations

I checked last year and HH44 (parallel hybrid) base price was a few percent higher than the Antares 44 with the parallel hybrid option (Antares publish their price on their website). However, the Antares is pretty much fully loaded, while base model for HH44 still require quite a bit of add-on.

@MultihullCentral1 2 жыл бұрын

The OC44 is at a lower price point than the HH44 and is set up more for cruising but still loaded with much much more than most production cars of its size. There will be more that comes out in this topic but the approach and construction is on another level so needs close analysis when comparing on price. These are very high on tech
