Welcome to our channel! We’re so happy you’re here. We are Emily and Tanner, and this is Sailing Sencilla - a video series about our journey to simplify our lives and find presence and meaning in every single day while sailing full time on our 33 foot sailboat named Sencilla.
I'm thinking of buying a yacht and spotted some nice models in Belize. Originally planned to start in Grenada though. What do you think about buying in Belize and heading up North around to Bahamas?
I have a Farrier F9a trimaran with rear double *cough* berth, with tri's that means it's a child's berth and claustrophobic, up front the V berth I enlarged by knocking out the partition to the head and put flip up boards on the head which being a solo male doesn't get used but it all works, I sleep in the same area you guys do, the design is much the same just not as much beam as mine folds in so it can be trailered which I don't do I just like the performance, it'll do 20 knots quite easily, 25 in the right conditions (I've seen 30 knots by accident, not recommended as they're just plain not built for it) I'm actually looking for a live aboard, probably an older +40' mono as the usual trimaran design such as mine at 31' is about the same inside as a 25' monohull and even for one person is way too small specially if the weather turns bad for a few weeks: being old and retired I own everything so I can rent my house out just without using it as collateral no one will lend me any money which sux as my credit rating is blue chip... I wish I could've done this when younger but being a truck driver there was nothing you could do to to earn a living (I had debts back then and renting my house out would've paid the mortgage if that) nowadays there's so much: anyway, good luck and enjoy, I've seen most of the full time successful RU-vid sailors (some are big $ cruisers other's are doing it on next to nothing and all are great) you guys look like you're kicking it off just right.
Although you are pulling slightly lighter chain, you still have to move your boat to get right above the anchor and then you get to pull it out of the sand/rock it's in. I hate it, but it's what we have to do.
Hi.....we are just starting to follow you! We are in Newfoundland, Canada and have the exact same boat! Just wondering what size packing did you use on your stuffing box? Cheers!
Well balanced sails, haha! That's the secret 😉 lovely video guys! Full of 🌞 wind and water 💦well done for getting though such a narrow entrance! 🤣 greetings from cold UK!
Thanks for the information on the gulf stream. There was a lot of information you told us about that I didn't know. It sounds like it was a long and scary trip, glad you guys made it. Havana sounds amazing. So much information about the people and their situation. Happy Sailing.
Good info about what to consider about buying a boat. In my case I found my E33 on Boat Trader. It was on the hard in August '20 in the boat yard my mentor and sailing club sites their boat. The price was in my budget and the survey wasn't a total disaster. It was the only boat I looked at. Everything about the boat screamed "Denise, this boat has your name on it. " so I bought it. I'm very happy with it.
The music is awesome. Gets me excited to see what you two are up against. Cuba is very surprising, no people and no boats. Who would think there would be no motor oil in Cuba. Crazy. I liked your friends you picked up on the way. Funny. These videos are awesome to me because we see what you guys are seeing. Love It. Happy Sailing!
Great Video for solid current information. Wow! Havana, Cuba is amazing. So surprised, I thought there would be hundreds of people around. Also surprised you couldn't find Americana money, food, boat parts, water and oil. I am glad you guys made it through. Surprises!!! God Bless the Cuban people, may someone help them.
