The interviewee is really knowledgeable and shares his anecdotes with humour and insight. Well worth a watch. And that’s a Real Adventure boat. I know what he means about having a spray/wave proof bimini, the sensation of relief as the water hits is like falling into icy water wearing a dry suit, the body braces out of reflex to be chilled to the bone in about a 10th of a second and then you hit the water..... and stay all warm and dry......... ........ bliss....... then you get that beautiful rush of relaxation and sense of gratitude as you’ve just bypassed being hammered by cold induced aquatic agony....... bliss.......

Raced on the only Corsair 43 ever built ... "Triple Threat" ... owned by Mr Tim Lyons and based out of Annapolis Md. There is nothing like "busting" through a "mono-moran" fleet in an overnight race w/ twice their boat-speed ... or more. (our class always started last ...) And w/ our running lights 30' apart they would think we where some PRHF A0 70-80' boat overtaking them ... winches would start to "click", sails adjusted, but it wouldn't help ... then we heard many a time ... "Damn-it, it's just a multi-hull/trimaran .... " And yes ... +25knts is a "Hoot" on a Tri-maran/Catamaran ... she starts to hum ... like a swarm of angry bees ... picks her skirts up ... you flatten the sails as the apparent wind moves farther aft ... you have a lil' rooster tail way way way back there ... and she starts really really "moving out" ... Also w/ our shallow draft ... and early finish, we usually get a nice spot at the dock in-shore of the deep draft mono-marans ... there by a shorter walk to the showers ... and the bar ... HaHa

I sailed on Avalanche for four months from French Polynesia through 3 countries, 5 territories to Tonga, it's safe to say this boat is easily the most fun boat to sail and left me with some seriously good stories to take home!

Hi Phoebe I am desperately trying to contact John Barry about Avalanche, could you give me his mail address ? many thanks. pierre h mahul phmahul58@gmail.com

@scenefromabove 5 лет назад

What an awesome passage-making yacht! It is no coincidence that the Polynesians originally conquered oceans using multihulls (it is worth reading the story of Kontiki). Just a minor point... The outrigger hulls are called "amas", the cross-members are called "akas", and the middle hull of a trimaran is called a "vaka" (see Wikipedia) Great interview!

Thanks Beth, we're so glad you enjoyed it! It really is cool to get a peak into a boat that is so unlike anything we are familiar with and to hear some of John's stories. As for the boat tour/interview videos, there are five and we will publish them every Sunday and Wednesday until they're all uploaded...then we'll go back to the regular Sunday schedule. We just couldn't make everyone wait 5 weeks to see all the videos. Cheers (✿◠‿◠) ⚓-Monique

@alansmith2203 2 года назад

I had several long conversations with John Barry when Avalanche was up for sale here in California a couple of years ago. He was letting that beast go for around 275k if i recall correctly. Man, my nipples were hard I wanted it so bad. It is a huge powerful boat that can go anywhere you have the desire to go to. On one of our conversations John and i were talking about Avalanche's sails. John is a very cool and knowledgable sailor. He had the mainsail made to his specs by North sails if i recall correctly (don't hold me to it). I asked the condition of the sail since he had circumnavigated. He said was still pretty good even after all those nautical miles and some pretty tough conditions. I asked him how much to replace it with something similar. He said around 80K. And that...boys and girls...is what separates the haves and haves nots. I could afford the boat. But the upkeep of a powerful and big yacht was out of my reach. John was divesting himself of Avalanche to get into a large performance catamaran out of China. HH I believe. I wished him well. He is a very good man and excellent communicator. I enjoyed every minute of time I spent talking about Avalanche and his experience on her.

@spooktatorbob4867 4 года назад

I'm always long winded so please bear with me as I get to my questions: I have taken an interest in sailing, never done it, but it looks dreamy. I'm certain there are downsides but that's another story. So, as I've studied, I have learned about various boats. Though the traditional monohull always holds that true build in my eyes, I am one that adores getting there faster. Why not powerboat? Fuel. Why spend when we can harness energy Earth gives us? So, I studied up and I'm liking how it seems trimarans are able to achieve faster speeds. I know there are racers but I don't need super speed, just faster cruising with some home comfort. I see your video here and this trimaran certain speaks my speed language. The Paragon is certainly the true beauty, though, with that monohull design. It's a bit rough in decisions. I thought I was sold on speed until I hear mr. Barry say that speed has caused clashes with whales. Now that is something I do not like. So, my question boils down to your opinion: knowing the speed of trimarans and it offering to get you further faster presenting the opportunity to see more plus possibly escaping storms; would you switch to a trimaran if you could? Thank you, Spooktator Bob

Fascinating video Drake, boy John must have some tales to tell. Great boat, very functional and sounds like John is a great skipper. Thanks for yet another wonderful interview, look forward to part 2. Andy UK

@DaveRaiman Год назад

When John said "aka" is the port side outrigger I thought maybe I had been using that term wrong so did some searching on the internet for confirmation. Instead I found confirmation of how I've been using the terms-- aka is the connector between the ama and main hull. My boat is a, tiny in comparison, F27 Corsair and not really ocean worthy and my max speed record was only 21.

@mainewoods5409 5 лет назад

That tri looks FAST!😎

@drakeParagon 5 лет назад

30+ knots...he even said it's the closest you'll get to flying in a boat. Ha, I can't imagine! We've gone 12+ knots with some serious current behind us, but the only way we'll achieve 30+ knots is if Paragon is on a truck transport! (✿◠‿◠) ⚓-Monique

Just a little correction . . . terminology for outer hulls on trimaran - AMA's, regardless of port/starboard. Crossarms are AKA's. Center hull, VAKA. From original polynesian. Bruce Alderson

@philipritson8821 3 года назад

Any stove or heater that vents its combustion gases overboard will dry the boat. Propane, wood, diesel or kerosene it doesn't matter. Those that don't vent are usually either kerosene, alcohol or propane and they add water vapour to the atmosphere inside the boat.

Thanks another interesting boat tour 👍👍👍 would never of thought someone would take a racing machine like that north into iceberg water 😱 just shows it takes all folks.

I like that...every day is a school day. Yea, we saw a lot of different boats when we were in Greenland from smaller cruising boats to heavy-duty research vessels, but nothing like s/v Avalanche!
