WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of modern-day documentarians, perpetual travelers, and seekers of tall tales.
We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. Self-reliance and living a sustainable lifestyle are a must. It's all about managing our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.
We've lived off the grid for over 10 years now in everything from a Van to RV to a Sailboat. And over time we have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water, and managing our waste.
Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

Comfort onboard as it gets to 25+ knots and how that “feels” onboard on a 3t boat vs something that is 20t like a standard production catamaran. Where are they thinking of taking it and where would they not? Again, awesome video. 🤙

Hi Riley

@octenders 2 года назад

No hesitation to take this boat anywhere warm but you have to be way more attentive to the conditions.On watch is definately ON WATCHThere is also the saying 'don't race the house'Same old story...get scared pull the sails down.She will sail really well bare poles.Light weight means no pitching and plunging. Multihull are meant to sit on top of the water.The heaveier they are the more unsafe the are in my opinion. The builder is my multihull guru.John, you are the man!

@willyum1208 2 года назад

@gonewiththewynns 2 года назад

Thanks! They are a rad family and we hope to catch up with them again in a few weeks for another sail. They are have already grown their confidence heaps and are now cruising comfortably at 20kts and say it feels absolutely no different than sailing at 12 knots. Deceptively fast and smooth as butter.

This is only my second time commenting. Niki, Jason your smiles go many miles. I love your videos. That's some cat! Every week you show us something different and it always comes across as an adventure and fun. It reminds me of when I was very young, when I was staying with my uncle love to read to his son and I. He read Arthur Ransome's book, Swallos and Amazons and We didn't mean to go to sea. Un abbraccio forte a due!

@meadmaker4525 2 года назад

What a fantastic cat!! And I like that pretty much everything was manual...the dagger boards, rudder extensions, anchor, etc. The electric winches are great, but it's just one more thing to break. And even though this cat is minimalist, with very little on deck to create drag/windage and that mainsail boom as low as possible, it still seems really comfortable below decks. Much more so than I would've thought. You're definitely going to be in the weather and wet on that helm, though, no matter what. Really enjoyed the ride. Thanks for taking us along!!

Hard to believe that was only their fourth sail, they looked so relaxed and professional. Nice boat but I always thought the object of sailing was to relax and not be in a hurry. Best to you guys and thanks for the video . 😊 !

@AORD72 2 года назад

The big advantage is light wind sailing, in 5 knots of breeze you don't have to motor. Personally I can't stand motoring, the noise, vibrations, smell, cost and the boat thumps through the water instead of gliding through it. If you want to relax in strong winds just reef hard down.

@timinwsac 2 года назад

My concern is that they are low experience sailors in a high performance boat.

@AORD72 2 года назад

@@timinwsac looks like a pretty low center of force (the mast looks short) and with 8.8 beam looks like it would be hard to capsize. Roughly 1 tonne at 4 meters is a lot of torque holding the boat upright. They did say "Paul has some sailing experience".

What a lovely family! Would love an interview with them about their sailing decision; pros, cons, and what finally pushed them onto their boat.

@ganthrithor 2 года назад

Gotta love Kiwis. I don't have too much experience on bigger boats, but certainly in dinghy-land the boats you'd look at and think "this looks approachable" tend to sail like dog-shit and are a handful in a blow, while the ones that look racy often have much more benign handling and a lot more boat speed to boot. Look how that machine just purrs along doing wind-speed even with the rig de-powered... no big loads on the helm, no wasted energy pitching, no bad behavior-- just cuts right through the water with a gentle hum from the boards. This boat is pretty cool and looks to be in incredible condition. Those rudders are super sexy: love a cassette rudder but they often don't seem to work well at large scales with the usual pintle-based arrangement... the way they've done a cassette integral to a giant set of upper and lower bearings connected by pushrods and spherical bearings is just tasty. I bet the helm feel on that boat is superb.

@bockjess 2 года назад

I'll second that inspiration sentiment. You and others sharing your adventures were a big part of keeping the dream alive! I watch sailing vlogs more for advice and maintenance related reasons these days and you guys have sure been helpful there too. Thanks for the discount on our cooler btw. Well gotta get some last minute provisions before sailing off. Thanks for everything! Edit: Oh! That boat is way cool! Effortlessly sailing about as fast as we've ever sailed. The speed makes me jealous and the rear head made me laugh! Direct deposit.

@chrisgleeton6823 2 года назад

I've been watching GwtWs for years now, ever since they were touring NA in an RV. I have to say, the charm of this channel (apart from Nikki and Jason themselves) are the relationships they make, and they experiences they share with us. It's one thing for them to document their travels with us - those channels are a dime a dozen. It's another thing completely to make friends with anybody and everybody, and then show us life from these other perspectives. Captain Tom, and all the other people in Fiji, all the people in the Caribbean, and in between, THAT is what makes this channel special. It's the relationships and showing other peoples' lives which is what I treasure most about this entire adventure.

@eugenehenry1214 2 года назад

That was a fun outing to watch, as they all are! When younger, my brother and I used to race smaller sailboats, which hiking out and the speed was so much fun! Your video today brought back some wonderful memories. I will say, you two are an inspiration, and thank-you for sharing! Your insights are luring us to get back out. As my wife's and my children were growing up, we visited the 48 contiguous states and camped in a tent, conversion van or a popup camper. It offset the work of the year, which my wife was a teacher and I worked with communities to figure out how to become more sustainable through land use, mitigation and all that stuff. I retired recently and traveled off the grid, but I have returned to work with smaller places to help after disasters. Well, your insights and adventures have me figuring out how to get out full time -- I figure after 40 years of giving to others it's probably okay for us to chase the sunsets for a bit (by the way, your charities that you highlight, and help are amazing and that provides a wonderful way to keep helping all species). Sorry for the long dialog, but a sincere thank-you for being an inspiration.

@cmmguy99 2 года назад

Quite frankly I really dont like this genre of videos. Im just tired of the dig me tiktokkers, instagrammers, and youtubers. However, I make an exception for you guys.

Your experiences seem legit with honest expressions of joy for what you are seeing and doing. Your mistakes are offered with genuine honesty and humility. It is a sincere pleasure to follow along on your adventures, we look forward to every new episode. Nikki you are Audrey Hepburn, ala "Breakfast at Tiffanys" reincarnate. My wife and and I talk about it frequently. Jason you seem so honest, its rather refreshing. Keep up the hard work and clean fun. Its appreciated.

Chippie sandwiches are a lunchtime staple for kiwi kids. Our family's preference is Salt and Vinegar chips, on buttered white bread, but other added ingredients like 'plastic' cheese, vegemite/marmite, peanut butter, etc. are all fair game. Some people even add our 'kiwi' onion dip, which I'm sure would be delicious.

@JimJocrusin 2 года назад

I used to build and race lightweight racing catamarans and they are sure exciting to sail or race around the buoys! Not to sure myself about using them for cruising, especially for long distance stuff, not that it is impossible. It would be fun to load as much gear aboard Slime as you carry on Curiousity to see what happens to the performance. (grin) A monohull of the same size would likely be carrying a lot more gear, fuel, water etc. so to keep that incredible performance a lot of stuff would need to given up! Moma nature doesn't make it easy, if you want something you always have to give something else up and everyone has to make their own decision about how to balance the good and the bad, which is why there are so many different types of boats! You two are such and inspiration to us and many others. We are so glad to see you sailing again and hope that things will get easier from here going forward. Thanks, J&J

Awesome video, very slick trimaran, gotta love the speed the trimarans generate. We we sold our Privilege 615 Catamaran and bought our condo in Key Largo and we were in search for a smaller boat that we could keep in our slip at the condo, but was looking for something different and fast, so we ended up purchasing a 2020 Corsair 880 Sport Trimaran, this boat fits all of our criteria, shoal draft, low maintenance, easy to sail, fast, stable, and a some what roomy cabin for weekend sails around the Florida Keys or a trip to the Bahamas. We did a sail from Key Largo to Key West recently and covered the 97.2 miles in 5.78 hours, we averaged 14.7 to 17.6 knots and on several occasions reached 21.3 knots...

This video is a cat. I thought tri for a moment too, but because there is a ridge down the center to decrease slamming and probably add rigidity.

It must be a bit satisfying to know that your videos and the sharing of your journey is encouraging others to do the same. Awesome Video Jason and Nikki! I really enjoy them!
