We are Matty and Brit and proud owners of a 2009 43 Beneteau Oceanis! Welcome to the beginning of our journey which we get to live through again making and sharing these videos with you.

This is what we know about Wicked...
Wicked is a 2009 43 Beneteau Oceanis that was chartered through the moorings and ownership was transferred to two different families before she was met by both hurricane Maria and Irma in 2017. She was salvaged and stripped of most of her electronics and working parts but left with a good motor and mast. _______________________________________________
Our Plans
We plan to do a full refit on Wicked and make her better than new! She lacks many of her systems including electric, plumbing, navigation and running rigging to start. While its a ton of work we get to start from scratch and make her ours before moving on board!
Now you see, that is a real. Sailling video of people doing the sale life adventure. They have the sailing channel sailing gbu, I consider them fake! They're click bate. They make stuff up just to get sponsors. They're fake fake fake fake. You showed more of puerto rico than they have in last ten years
We don’t have to bash anyone. There are tons of channels and we all have different styles. They’ve found success in how they market themselves and kudos to them. We will strive to stay authentic and hopefully you’ll stay on the journey with us.
Yes Papa Edgar is the best! Trying to get him to come sailing with us! Thank you for being here! It was a very small deed we did that was part of a much bigger plan. But every little bit of kindness counts. Thanks again Canada 🇨🇦 😉
Hi Mama Alice!! That lobster was crazy.n I see why you would want to relocate there. nice 360 footage, It is smart the way he keeps the lens cloth stored on the lens
Thanks for the idea @dd214veteran , it was while watching your videos, I was like what is that? I asked Britt and she explained, it thoroughly enhances the videos.
We were all shocked when he came up with it! We weren’t even looking!! Matt spotted it when we were snorkeling and he said go get the dinghy, my snare etc etc etc
Just wanted to say hi . I have a Beneteau 35s5 in Canada also called wicked . It was a Hurricane Sandy boat that I bought at Auction in NYC and trucked to Canada and had repaired by a fibreglass friend. Not nearly as extensive a job as you guys but he did have to peel and remove 2ft x 8ft or on port side above the waterline. Will be following your videos . Cheers Steve
wow, I wish I have a boat to live in like that. but I don't think I could ever afford to move it (gas costs), unless it was solar/wind powered. personally, I want a descent truck, and a small trailer I can tow and live out of. and have my scooter with me to get around once in a new town/city. but cool setup, have fun and be safe guys!
You're one of my Sailing channels now. Because you seem like nice real honest People. I lived on a sailboat for fourteen years. But had a hip Injury four years ago. Just had surgery To get repaired this week. I hope to be back on the water early next year. But in the Mean time I will Have to keep living My sailboat lifestyle through Wonderful People like you . Thank you so much for your videos.
Hi! 👋🏾 👋🏽 Thank you so much 😊 that is nice to hear. Sorry to hear about your injury we wish you a well recovery. The hip is a tough one I hear. Follow Docs orders push through physical therapy and I’m positive you’ll be out there! Again… thanks for being here!
Keep up the good work you’re doing a great job. You are young and you will have so much fun sailing around the world put the microphone close to you when you’re talking clip on your shirt. Find you another wedding band to wear like a rubber wedding band and if you and Florida need help hit me up I’ll come and help speak to your buddies into boat repairs and sailing, and they can help you a lot just by watching their programs cause they are people out there with the same kind of boat you got that doing the same thing you did , stay safe. Stay blessed.
Hi Alfred, thank you for your comment. I appreciate your advice. Well let you know if we are in Florida. We’ll always have work to do on a boat. 😂 lots of people on RU-vid refitting beneteaus. It’s been helpful. Thanks again!
@sailingwicked if y'all show up drinks and food are on us. Not many sailtubers have Jamaica content and fewer still have good quality Jamaica content. Hit me on the comment later if yall do decide to go.
@@mesflyer My parents are Jamaican and I’m in the process of getting my passport so I can cruise around Jamaica for a few month’s without issue. From what I understand it’s not that friendly for cruising that’s why a lot of cruisers don’t go. I would like to change that… but we’ll see. But we’ll def take you up on that offer. And take you out for a cruise too!
Wow, that's amazing! I'm so impressed by their sailing skills and preparedness for the storm. The video is really well-made too - she's a natural on camera!
Thank you! We did everything possible to prepare for Ernesto’s arrival. But honestly it was also a form of luck. Mother Nature is no woman to mess with!
