Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the tip of Paradise, we like it here. Yes she still sails like a witch.

Thank you for your comment. We planned for a long time before we set sail. Just try some sailing for yourself through a sailing school to see if you like it and learn some basics. The basics are easily learned and you build up your experience from there. In the mean time we will post some more videos of our sailing

Thank you for the positive feedback. We are still finding our way to document it like it really is and keep it just sailing, sailing, sailing the oceans. This week we are preparing Snow for the Pacific crossing from Panama to the Marquesses. We depart this week, 4000 miles, around 30 days of sailing. If you like you can follow us live on our website: www.sailingsnow.net and then tracking snow or the direct link: forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/display/Snow We will post regular little blog entries via satellite phone of our experience during our trip. We will make new material for a next video and hope to be more sensitive with the wind noise, we have some ideas.

@@sailingsnow Y’all are doing a very good job of Documenting and sailing a boat across the Atlantic Ocean for that many days and trying to film and change sales and everything else I’m going to subscribe to your channel thank you guys and be safe in your travels

Thank you Ian. We hope you can realize your dream and sail a S&S Swan too. We dreamed for year about a S&S Swan, the 48 a 43 and decided the S&S Swan 431 would be our best option as a cruising boat for us two. She sails great in any direction and is such a joy to sail, you can feel she want to go. She has indeed a small stern. We think this helps with waves go under her and not getting grip on the stern to push the stern aside. The more we learn about this ship, the more we are in awe about the S&S design and a philosophy about seaworthiness. But no surprise actually as in 1976 they had already over 50 years of design experience. Combine that with Nautor Swan building quality .....But we are biased, there are also many other great yachts. Keep building your dream.

@@sailingsnow I think it's great testimony that the more it blew, the more the boat ran faster without flexing or straining at the higher speeds, clearly it was meant to just sail at those speeds! - would love an interior audio clip of when you were sailing those big seas and wind - what did it sound like down below? Any Creaking? silent? just wondering you know!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Ian, sorry for the late reply. In think you are correct. I put up a page on our site about her performance so you can see it yourself. sailingsnow.net/performance-431-3-ocr-club-certificate-2020-test-certificate/ She sail great we just went running in reasonable high waves doing 7-8-9 hitting 10 and occasionally 11 surfing from a wave. She is build primary as a racer with pure flush deck. There is only one build like that the rest of the orders where for racer cruiser. But you can feel she is in her element between 7-9 knot. Great boat, best S&S Swan liveaboard for two in our opinion. She is wide and has a large saloon with just enough windows. Not to much so the sun gets in all the time but enough to have a light saloon. Her hull under water design is a little bit more modern than the S&S Swans before her. I think this helps sailing with the wind behind her. I can only recommend a 431. You get used to the bridge deck and will love it. So much extra space inside, no cockpit table needed and of course absolute safety when you get waves from behind in the cockpit.

@@sailingsnow wow - great reply and link thank you sir for the information!

@@IanB22 Good to hear

Hello sailing A B Sea. The problem with the furler was, we bend a shackle on top because we had a dynema line twisted around the shackle and put force on it with a winch. We did some damage to the furler and had to replace a top cap on the top of the furler. Also had to saw off a little of the furler to put the new top cap on. All done now and the sail is good again.

@@sailingsnow every day on a boat is a day for learning something new. Well done.
