Thanks for the question. It's a Lindenberg 65. There was only one made. The idea was to put the design into production, but they never got to that point. If you are interested there are many more video regarding our Trans-Atlantic Passage, but more the whole enchilada you can go to my ‘Pursuing Balance Through Adventure’ Sailing Blog: pursuingbalancethruadventuresailing.wordpress.com/2024/01/19/trans-atlantic-crossing-on-a-small-catamaran/

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. It was simply stunning awesome place.

They are pretty cool.

@@lorenwebb Thanks for the comment! Fun times to be sure!

Yes, and after a few weeks of hot weather it was nice to have some marine layer to keep it cool. Thanks for the comment!

I appreciate your kind words. It was a wonderful place, but of course… it’s the Garden of Eden.

Well, I have done Mt Langley, the sister to Mt Whitney. It isn’t quite as tall as Whitney but some think it is tougher due to the terrain. I would like to do Whitney, but Langley was really hard on me so IDK. centralcahikingpursuingbalancethruadventure.wordpress.com/2020/10/03/up-in-smoke/

@@OutdoorExistential Gee Thanks, well I had to give it a try, luckily I learned that I better exit before I got in over my head lol.

@@The440cuda Most of the adventure was pretty uneventful as far as difficulty. There were several that got our attention to be sure. Rock, dirt whoopty doos, and soft sand but mostly scenic desert and paths that would be fine for any 4x4.

@JP-fw5jd what is a tatooian?

Thanks, it was indeed epic. A very special place and I caught in all of its glory.

Well the Jeeps powered through it all. My 4Runner one of them exclaimed they were surprised him how well it did.

Bc the sun kept shining, I mean it was the desert. Would do you suggest?

I tried hard in my video to convey the cabin as a place of mystery and suspense, but with the low light and dancing firelight from the firepit it came off more as pleasant and relaxing lol

@@pursuingbalancethruadventure I thought it was creepy! I've watched too many horror movies about camping adventures, lol!

If not in the air then certainly when you hit that always frigid water!

@@pursuingbalancethruadventure LOL

I love that place. That is the reason that I bought the 4Runner TRD Pro to go to Anza-Borrego.

Well, if it was raining hard again in Death Valley that should add another month.

It seems after all these years people still are still interested in going fast under sail. Trifoiler was on the leading edge of what now is fairly common place as far as foiling boards, and more and more competitive sailboats.

@@pursuingbalancethruadventure yeah Hydro foiling sailboat like the moth have always been intriguing. What really blew me away was the foiling windsurfers and the kite foiling.

I was with my friends, the two engineers that developed Trifoiler, you might have seen that we sailed a ‘Trans-Atlantic Crossing on a Small Catamaran’, and they tried to teach me to Wing Foil-board. I got so I could sail it but once it started to lift up on the foil I quickly went off, lol.

@@pursuingbalancethruadventure I remember that wire across the trioilers sails would whistle when the wind really got blowing.

Hey Mike- Thanks for the question. Keep in mind that it is dissipating fast. I read that they expect it to be there into this next month. There certainly is enough water to float a kayak, but paddling would most likely be hitting bottom. Like you said they closed it to kayaking but that certainly would have been fun. Just so you know you can find more info on my blog: nationalparkshiking2pursuingbalancethruadventure.wordpress.com/2024/03/25/death-valleys-manly-lake/

Did you finish your thought? Anyway, hi back, lol.

Thank you so much glad that you enjoyed it. Yes I take all of my pictures and video with my iPhone pro Max. That was a fun hike through the steps of history.

Hey thanks a lot! I appreciate that compliment, but I have to say I am disappointed in the way that RUclips is displaying it with very poor resolution.

Thanks for checking in Lain! It felt small with large confused seas that sounded like a cannon going off when it slammed into the underneath of the main cabin then tapered off like the rumble of thunder, with food flying out of the freezer, and cups of water jumping a foot off of the table into you lap, (glad that wasn’t coffee lol!) and 35 knots of wind, I will tell you that lol!

Thanks for the question. On the broad reaching that we were doing across the Atlantic we were quite happy with our reacher being shackled to the hull, that is until we had to gybe in the middle of the night and climb out on the hull that was pitching in the dark. I don't know if you have been following the blog posts each day that btw each one links to the other, but read what Greg said about some of those sail changes. pursuingbalancethruadventuresailing.wordpress.com/2024/02/18/trans-atlantic-crossing-on-a-small-catamaran-day-29/

Richard, thanks so much for taking a moment to leave a note! Appreciate it.

We did it! Like Greg said not many people can say they had a Trans-Atlantic Crossing in a Small Catamaran.

@@pursuingbalancethruadventure Most definitely 👏🎉🤩

he is not small

Hey guys thanks for checking in! Appreciate your comments. People listen to me when I tell you, in the middle of the frick’n ocean with seas over 11’ and winds North of 30 knots. It feels pretty small. On the other hand, last night on my watch with big seas, shifty and puffy conditions on a beam reach, the fastest point of sail, in the dark where you can’t see squat, hunkered over a monitor seated in the captain’s chair in the main cabin, I was away from the sheets. To dump the main and the jib in a squall or any emergency situation I would have to run outside. All I had was a button to veer our course up or down and believe me it doesn’t turn on a dime. So everything pretty much has to be planned in advance. Also keep in mind a monohull can take a complete knock down, heck it could even be rolled by a rouge wave and the heavy keel is going to right it, but a catamaran like this… It’s not coming back if disaster should strike. It’s game over and people are likely going to die. So in that case. It felt too big. I would rather be on my Hobie Cat. You just take out the righting line and lean out. No problem.

Haha nope still love it, but it will be nice to step off onto something that is not sway to and fro, lol!

Thanks again for all of your support! We are closing in on our destiny.

Well I certainly appreciate that.

Thank you so much! Same to you!

No bad uh?

Well, now that 36’ monohull ‘Dream Reacher’ is far behind, and our companion took a different strategy of searching our wind route and is 60 miles to our North. So we are basically on our own.

The dolphins are alway the highlight of the day.

I just happen to be on board the boat belonging to the Tri-Foiler designers ‘Force’. We are making a Trans-Atlantic Crossing on a Small Cat. pursuingbalancethruadventuresailing.wordpress.com/2024/01/19/trans-atlantic-crossing-on-a-small-catamaran/

@@pursuingbalancethruadventure Wow what an adventure!! Wishing you the best.

Thanks, appreciate it. @@Paiadakine

Pretty cool

Thank you very much. I try.

And so it begins...

They were so fun!

Yeah, I was imagining a Prout Scirocco, Heavenly Twins, or maybe an Iroquois. Really small would be a Hobiecat.

True enough, but my thought is when you get out in the middle of the frick’n ocean with big waves and big wind, of which we got a taste of with winds reaching 35 knots, waves that hit the bottom of the cabin so hard it sounded like an explosion and then rumbled like thunder! It doesn’t seem so big then.

@pursuingbalancethruadventure True, I think any vessel can seem small when faced with the relentless force of the oceans.

Welcome aboard ‘Force’ High Performance Cruising Catamaran. We can all be ‘Pershing Balance Through Adventure’ together!

We hiked the trail in Nov. Here is more info on the hike: losangelescountyhikingpursuingbalancethruadventure2.wordpress.com/2023/11/12/gabrielino-trail-to-oak-wilde-camp/
