In this episode I have a great discussion with Seth Hynes, President of HH Catamarans. Be sure to stay tuned to the end for a sneak peak of the interior of our yacht.
Seth has to walk/talk a delicate line when talking about tailoring the catamaran to fit the needs of the future buyers. You have the freedom to express your wants and desires and HH has certainly provided that to you, but I can see where Seth can't lock in and say that this is the one and only way that these boats should be designed. Personally I think your yacht is exactly what HH is all about and it fits your three circle diagram perfectly. You chose the right builder for you, no doubt. I am really learning a lot from your video series and hoping that once you launch that your adventures-shared will continue?
great interview, but seeing the boat in the background it is an awesome sight to behold. The inserts of the interior that was shown are incredible. Great work Sean and HH.
Hi George, thank you for your comment. I agree, HH has done an exceptional job with their craftsmanship. It is not just evident in the woodwork, but the electrical and hydraulic systems as well.
Hi Daniel, thank you for your comment. I do have enough footage to put together a walkthrough of the interior over the next few weeks, so you will just have to satay tuned.
Thank you for posting these videos. It's fascinating to see you go through the whole process of conceiving, designing and finally, building your dream yacht. Love what you're doing. Congrats on actually making it happen. You're just about done and ready to get on the water, which is incredibly exciting. Great stuff!
Hi Deron, Thank you for your question. The entire boat was designed to be sailed shorthanded. Realistically that would mean a 2 person minimum. Our standard crew is 3 (not including ourselves). We have room for up to 6.
A reader commented on my post in which I offered some well deserved criticism of the yacht design. I pointed out what a blue water boat is and what design features of this boat could be improved and the reader responded by saying that the boat was not intended to cross the Pacific or Atlantic but to sail in the Caribbean and Med. Some of the most violet storms occur, not in the middle of oceans, but in the very places he suggests are "safe". In my view all these cats and power boats with high superstructures risk a tipping moment in high seas. Compate the Gunboat to this boat and your will see the fast, and safe, differences. This upper fly bridges have no place on cruising cats and are a holdover to motor boat luxury designs.
