This decision essentially came down to what would we regret less. Continue sailing a boat we loved but did not need from a size or power perspective. Or go all-in on our dreams of living a sustainable, minimalist life while continuing to sail the world. Sure, our path is unconventional (meaning we downsized instead of upsized) but we aren’t the first sailors who felt smaller & simpler was better or that there is no need for a diesel engine with today’s technological advancements in electric engines & battery capacity.
This is our dream and we plan on sharing it in the most straightforward and honest way possible - like we said from the get-go. As we found out from a lot of Episode 30’s comments, some of RUclips’s ‘sailors’ don’t seem to agree with our minimalist, no-rush, nature-first approach to sailing. That’s fine, but we refuse to let these types of people derail our dreams. We’ve found from our own hands-on experience that this is what sailing is all about to us. This is us simply following our hearts.

Twenty Small Sailboats to Take You Anywhere amzn.to/2loqBI4
The Obstacle Is the Way amzn.to/2MPl3CS
You can't get me suckers. I bought that book 3 days ago. Haha
Haha, which one?? I'm curious if we have any stoic followers or not :)
Twenty Small Sailboats to Take You Anywhere. I'm hunting my own home thanks to it.
Its currently one of the books I pick up once in awhile to read while Im not busy. I can't wait to see what you guys are get into. A lot of those boats have pretty lines and are solid =)
I just ordered the book. I'm actively searching for my new home. I've been going out on a 30 Catalina and I love the size. Cant wait to see what you guys get and how you rig it. Thanks for all yall do!
One word. "Inspired". You two are making hard choices but they are the right ones for you. Be safe and you always have a fan here.
I know that wasn't easy, but I believe it was the right decision. You learned fairly early on that it was more boat than you needed. You evaluated your needs, making those a priority over your wants. Brilliant.
And I was even more impressed that you made her new ownership a priority over the Almighty Dollar. That is karma that Mother Ocean will give back to you over and over.
Looking forward to your further adventures!
Remod NC thank you! Prioritizing values over $ is what frugality is all about to us. Excited to share new Luci with you and thanks for being with us from the beginning!
As a member of an older generation, this episode affirmed my decision to become a subscriber and patron of your channel.
You guys broke your backs upgrading your boat (the episodes of your redoing the deck were exhausting just to watch). Your very hard work and dedication was truly impressive! Its clear that you guys never do anything half way.
You would have been more than justified in holding out for the highest price that you could, but your priority was finding someone who you felt would do the most right by your beloved vessel. You deliberately accepted far less of a sum than you could have. Truly amazing and refreshing in this day and age, and in a country where greed has become almost institutionalized (though you had definitely earned the right to ask for more). And Luci was truly a fine boat.
Fairly or unfairly, most people your ages are perceived as wanting more, more, more, and now, now, now. I work with a few; generally it's a pleasure, but there are those moments. You two are truly inspiring, in that you're cut from a very unique mold..
While I say go for it, as far as marching to the beat of your own drum, I have to give you props--that your relationship is strong enough that you could not only share a space as small (to me) as Luci's, but that you're actually wanting to move into something smaller! I could never do it. More power to you!
I really respect your values, and your integrity. You're not only a very nice couple, but you're clearly plain old (figuratively speaking) good folks. It's uplifting to know that there are people like you in the world.
Stay safe.
Terry T it’s just as uplifting to know people like you are out there as well. This was one of the most touching comments we’ve read since starting this. Can’t say how much reading comments like these help with continuing to share our journey. We really accredit the way we view money to frugality & minimalism. Also, I (Ryan) almost lost my brother at 17 years old to a traumatic brain injury and best friend to stage 4 cancer at 21 which has drastically altered the way I view relationships. Thanks for joining the crew. We’re both excited to get to know you better!
That explains much. I respect you all the more in that you've given tribute to your brother and friend by growing, and giving. Stay true, brother.
That's a final boat. That boat will take you everywhere.
I can really see where you guys are coming from. I've got a 29 foot boat and it is simple. It's tiller steered so no worrying about snapped steering cables, I can pull the anchor up by hand, I can raise the mainsail myself and I can get the boat onto the dock by myself. As you say, marina fees and yard storage are cheaper for smaller boats and in many ways, the adventure is bigger in a small boat. Crossing an ocean in a 50 foot boat is an adventure, crossing an ocean in a 30 foot boat is a big adventure. Good luck.
You actually never sailed this boat! This is a huge mistake!
Totally teared up a little bit! Glad to see the next adventure is already upon you guys.
Wow downsizing? The first time I've heard anyone doing this! Everyone goes up in size! You sold proven Yacht for cheap for a possible nightmare! You did Abandon Comfort!
At least you are self aware enough to know what you need. Good luck with the new boat, it looks beautiful. BTW it already has a fantastic name, shame to change it.
masochism
Small Boats will kick your A at Sea!
sorry dude but I would have kept a beautiful Halberg Rassey 36 !
Kelsey it was hard watching you cry! You made me start crying! I’m looking forward to your new boat and adventures!
Was not expecting this, Luci seem like the perfect size boat for you guys, but you have to follow your heart, we are also downsizing, my girlfriend has been offered a teaching position at Vanderbilt University in Nashville so we no longer need a 65 foot catamaran, we well be 9 months in Nashville and 3 months in Key West, we just purchased a Dana 24, its a great little boat with an enormous cabin, and its blue water capabilities are amazing, for us only being on her 3 months in the summer, it well be perfect. I'm going to miss the Cat, but not going to miss all the maintenance, good luck to both of you and Kelsey I hope your feeling better.
So why are you selling the boat that you worked so hard on?
I'm still a little surprised you sold the boat, after all the work you put in... And, that you never really got much time to sail her. I hope the oceans don't kick your behind in whatever small size boat you get...
I think this is really amazing. Luci has been your home, and it warms my heart to know you guys took the time to find her good people who will love her like you did. And I'm looking forward to your next adventure.
Congrats guys! Talk about a shocker! I understand and applaud you both for staying true to your dreams. Loved your boat and sorry to see her go but anxious to see the new one and continue to follow y’all on your adventures!
Well, we tried to give a little warning back in episode 30! But yes, a shocker nonetheless. New boat will be a shocker too - in a good way :)
Good Luck with the new boat. I have watched so many of your videos and I am constantly reminded so much of my boat; a 1979 Kalik 33' which I will probably have to give away after so much love, sweat, and tears. When I bought her, all I was thinking about was racing her....which I did, but mostly I had to start from the beginning learning about diesel engines, electric systems, water systems, rigging and so on. As you were kind enough to pass on information, the learning curve was steep!
Ahhhh - such a sad episode but also happy for your continuing adventures and that you found her a good home.
growingknowledge thanks for the kind words & support!!
The start of a new adventure. I can't wait to see your videos on your new boat. God bless, be safe & have fun.
Great video guys! This is Michael with the Mariner 39 center cockpit (originally Proud Gypsea, now named "Sienna Skye" after our two kids )you guys were looking at in the beginning of your journey. We have spent a lot of time refitting her and are now selling her and are going to downsize as well. I think it takes some time living aboard to realize that you don't need as much boat as the current sailing culture leads you to believe. We wish you the best and look forward to more of your videos! Fair winds you two, your videos are an inspiration.
That was incredibly touching. You showed a very deep and compassionate side which was lovely. And also the way you two relate. I wish you all the best with your new yacht and please keep posting your vlogs.
We'll be continuing to share our journey thanks to viewers like you! Really appreciate the kind words & support.
Great news ... it's never fun leaving something behind you have invested time, money and emotion in but look forward and the future might just hold something wonderful in store for you. All the best to the three of you and I can't wait to see what you picked out!
Awesome to see where your heading. Someone once said, money aside, a true sailor wants to ensure her new owners will care for her well. When one chapter closes, a new more exciting chapter opens. Best of luck and look forward to your new direction.
Sea Travel Thanks! Making sure she was going to a good home was most important to us. Just want to make sure someone else is carrying on Jim’s legacy with the Swedish gal 😀
Its never easy saying goodbye. I look forward to sharing in your next step. Congratulations on making a decision. You two are a marvellous team.
What a beautiful journey you've had so far, honored to have been able to witness the love you've poured into Luci I. Looking forward to your upcoming adventures!
Can't wait to see the new boat! Congratulations... and thank you for sharing your journey with us. Looking forward to the next chapter. Fair winds and following seas!
I can't watch anymore...
I'm a super fan of small and simple. My largest boat so far has been only 23 feet. Won't go over 30 on the next one. Once we lived 10 weeks on a 19 foot boat while sailing coastal FL.
Kelsey, you made me cry too! Been watching you two from the start, oops Rue too! (HE IS SO HANDSOME) Can't wait to see where your adventures take you. I'll be watching. CHEERS!
Well, i can't say i'm surprised just disappointed we didn't end up with luci !! super happy for you kids. if its meant to be it will be. keep chasing the dream. fair winds AC.
I understand the tears after you two have put your heart and soul into Lucci... I look forward to the next boat adventures and dreams.🏴⛵️
You did a good job on flipping her. A smaller boat might be just what you need. Hope your travels are safe. A lot has been done on smaller vessels. Will love seeing what you do with the next one! Plus smaller is always easier to sell in the future if dreams change.
Don't think the dream will change! We could've just went into a tiny house or van after this but we both know this is what we want to do. It's a ton of work but it's worth it :)
Can't help wonder though why you guys did not at least give it a bit more time to make such a big decision on selling your HR 35' after all the refit work, effort, and sweat and $ put in, and made an ocean crossing with her. Just seems like the perfect or "adequate size" for a couple and a dog to sail around the world on. Hope that your next boat ticks all the boxes (they never do though do they ! always compromises ), and are successful in finding a suitable replacement albeit smaller vessel that will handle long passage making with some relative comfort but more importantly with the space required for provisioning, supplies, parts etc. Just hard to not imagine you guys and the cute dog not getting the snot kicked out of you on an ocean passage when the weather doesn't match the grib files or the predict wind planning, and your out there in a fully provisioned and stocked
Great episode. I love your philosophy. So few ever step down to a smaller boat so well done indeed! Can't wait to see the new boat!
ScubaTony Anschutz thanks!! You’ll see her soon 🙂
A very bittersweet moment. I'm hoping your next boat is as good as this one was. I'm anxiously awaiting the new arrival! Good luck!!
Congratulations looking forward to seeing your new boat.
I have been looking at boats for decades. When I had the money the life commitments held me back. Now those commitments are gone as is my money and health. I'm looking much smaller and more simple kind of boat.
I watched ming ming and ming ming 2 construction and voyages. I'm sorry I'm horrible with names. I can't remember his name. But ming ming has brought me to wanting a junk rigged small cork in the ocean kind of boat rather then a a tractor that plows through the ocean kind of boat. Gotta find what's right for you. We will see maybe one day if I'm lucky we will see each other out there .
Way to go guys. Now you really live up to the name of your channel and it becomes more interesting for me to follow you.
Bittersweet for sure. She'll always be a fond memory for you both. I definitely had man tears watching Kelsey. Gentle sails, Luci!
Good luck with the new boat! With all the time spent getting Luci ready to cruise I’m sure this was a tough decision. Life is all about leaps of faith!
That's the truth!
Interesting decision - but I'm still not understanding why the move to a smaller boat when all the logic I hear from other channels and sailors is that the smaller the boat the less appropriate for open ocean; the harder the sail; the more uncomfortable; the more personal space issues occur..if its financial bind thats understandable but unfortunate - seems a shame after all the hard work to sell so quickly - if its a millenial view that "I'm really an eco-warrior and I'll be saving the panet" by some sort of misguided Marie Kondo decluttering perspective then thats a little naive - as 15-20 less metres of boat won't really change anything..but if I'm missing anything let me know and we do have to find our own paths so all power to you..just seems a little sad and bewildering..
JoeTheLion60 we’ll have more episodes going in depth on our reasons. Yes, it was partially financial but from a long term perspective. It’s funny how this myth of bigger boats = more seaworthiness is so prevalent on RUclips. Our new boat has both a better capsize ratio & motion to comfort ratio. If space is causing issues in a relationship then you probably shouldn’t be together with your spouse. And who cares if we want to reduce our environmental impact? Call us eco-warriors or whatever the hell you want, this is simply us following our values and nothing else.
Abandon Comfort I see you have been doing your reading about boats and sea worthiness. Good to see. People believing the bigger the safest, don't know much about boats
Abandon Comfort there are so many other more factors making a boat seaworth than its size
ruclips.net/video/0jsPOlg7Ovc/видео.html Size isn't eveything
Wow! A bigger boat is not a myth but a fact! The motion will tell you right off! Reduce environmental impact? Really? No more toilet paper? People cross oceans in 24 foot boats that are Sea Worthy! What fun!
Good luck with the next boat. Hard to see you let your first go, so much sweat and tears but I'm sure the next phase will be just as rewarding.
Congrats Ryan & Kelsey on your next step on your amazing journey! Sad to see Luci go after all the hard work you put in but I can't wait to see your new boat en all your adventures with it. Does she need a lot of work?
I really love your spirit and enthusiasm for low footprint living on a sailboat. Very inspirational!
Thank you, Eric :) New boat needs about the same amount of work as the old boat did. Won't take as long though because she's a lot smaller!
the perks of going smaller... :-)
It's a brave move. Do what you want to get what you want out of this life. I'm enjoying the series and watching your journey. Looking forward to the next boar. Fair winds!
Thank you :) We're stoked to share our new gal with you!
I lived on a Morgan 382 for 8 years. It is true that a smaller boat can be built just as seaworthy as a larger boat. The extra space on Lucy-1 could have been used for extra supplies & spare parts for long crossings, but given your goals, I think you guys made the right decision. You will take a hit in speed though, and I really hope Lucy-2 doesn't need as much work! Good luck guys. We're all pulling for you!
wow, talk about principles! God speed... really enjoy following you guys.
Baring My Soul thanks so much for the support!!
Brave but good decision. Don't stop sailing though whatever you do. We also recently changed boats and have no regrets. For us it was an upgrade yet still only 35 ft. Can't wait to see new adventures!
Guys, great video! Size and complexity are not always synonymous with fun. We had the privilege of meeting and chatting with Lyn and Larry Pardey at a boat show when we were starting our restoration of our WS42 Harmony. They have been sailing idols for us since their first books. Lyn made us promise that we would always strive to have fun! Follow your dreams and sail on the vessel that fits your life's principles and goals! Your footprints in life will always be larger than they will be in the environment! Kudos! Fair winds from Doug on WS42 Harmony
Douglas Tate their book the Self-Sufficient Sailor was a major catalyst for us making the move. Them and omick.net (crossed Pacific engineless with sweeps for auxiliary power). It was weird we never found any sort of cruising mentors that fit the bill for us and then found both of them the same week. Love your tanbarks btw 🙂
Smart choice for you!!! I'm retired and want my first boat, it's on John Vigor's list...On his 2nd circumnavigation, James Baldwin sailed from Ft. Lauderdale to China w/o an engine --- he was towed thru Panama Canal by some generous sailors. He sailed a Pearson 28 and has done amazing/unique, 'one of a kind', small boat refits for years in Brunswick, GA as CYS company...
Change is all part of the adventure. Look forward to following it with you
Best of luck! Can't wait to see your experience with the next boat. I hope we have such informative sellers when we purchase our first boat .
Hi guys, whether the best choice is a smaller boat or the same as Luci it doesn’t matter. Your choices in life shape who you are and where you end up and it’s all about what is right for you both at this very moment. Everything might change in 5 years and I’m sure you want it to otherwise life gets boring. Best wishes to you both and safe sailing. Will and Boo
So excited for the future! Buddy boating will ensue!
:) !
Looking forward to following the next adventure.
I hate to see the ol' girl go. I feel like we were right there with you from start to end. But where one adventure ends, another begins! Looking forward to what's to come. Thanks for sharing and best of luck!
Us too! The new gal will be a good surprise :)
Admire your downsizing. Thank you for sharing.
Congrats on your decision to sell her. Kelsey just about had me in tears too! Looking forward to the next episode!
It's our last night in our home before we move to a cabin we built, so this video was so relatable. Always sad to leave home...at least until the new thing becomes home.
So awesome. We want to build a cabin for a summer home at some point. Do you share videos on your build?
Abandon Comfort I have a 12-part serious so far. You guys will be able to do it way cheaper than us since you'll be able to do more of the work yourselves.
Enjoy your videos and am looking forward to your new adventures in your new boat..all the very best!
Thanks for the kind words & support John!
Good luck with your dreams! Everyone has an impact, it's a personal choice to decide the size of that impact. And it changes through one's life. I'll never do without meat, I think that's just about the dumbest thing ever (personal opinion and I don't care what other people do. Or why.). But I agree that going with an electric motor does make a lot of sense and it's been something in the back of my mind as I drop $$ on maintaining a 25-year-old Yanmar.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and dreams, whether or not people agree with them or not is irrelevant. As long as you believe in them, all's is good in your world.
Awwww. Good luck with the next boat. Keep sailing!
I continue to be impressed with you both and your approach to life. Best of luck with all you do going forward. How impressive to part ways with your boat especially after that teak deck replacement!! wow
Awww I don’t like to see you guys cry . Wishing you guys the best of luck 🎉
9:15 ... that was touching. I still remember the first few videos of you guys looking for a boat and how Lucy seemed to have appeared at the perfect moment. All the best with the new boat.
Great episode thank you for sharing the experience with us some of us may never experience this adventures but at least we get to see some of it with you good luck with finding new boat!!
Follow your dreams. Never give up. The adventure is just beginning for you two said the 65 retiree who wishes he could do it all over again. Rinse and repeat. Haha. Best of luck to the three of you! Cheers!!
Suitably Concerned 65 is young! You still have plenty of time to get out there and adventure 🙂
That was a great first boat and you two did some great work on her. Ready to see the next chapter in this story.
All the work you put into Luci and the experiences you gained in sailing her will serve you in good stead with Luci II. Solid decision and, amazingly enough, it only has to be the best decision for you two. Now, if you pop a San Juan 23 on us in the next episode (not that there is anything wrong with a SJ ; just not off shore material) we might be talking a Captain’s Mast in the near future. Ha! Can’t wait to see the boat you have decided to make your new home. I always wanted a Pacific Seacraft Flicka...
You will be pleasantly surprised! Can't go from an HR to a SJ haha. We got very close to buying a Flicka in pristine shape for 30k but realized their sailing performance is pretty terrible. The blunt bow doesn't work too well and it's motion to comfort/capsize ratios are really bad. New Luci has better ratios than the HR did ;)
Wow, congratulations I can’t wait to see your new boat. The folks you sold the Rassy to are very lucky you gold plated it for them. I love your videos; they are honest, transparent chronicles of your life and adventures. It’s so great to see the relationship that you had with the previous and new owners. I bought an Endeavor 32 the same vintage as your friends from Learning the Lines last year and it was not as pleasant an experience. The boat is in pretty good shape. Thankfully we don’t have to go through the refit that your friends are doing. However, it would’ve been nice to be able to maintain a friendship with the previous owner but that was not to be. We’re feeling our way with it. I’m coming back to sailing after a 25 year hiatus and I’m now introducing my wife and three boys to the sport. Keep up the great work with your videos and best of luck with your new boat.
I´m looking forward to see the new boat, and your next adventures.
I have the deepest respect for people like you, who makes their decisions based upon the facts they have experienced and what is true for them.
The only ones who knows whats right for you, is you :-)
Comicus never know until you try! Really appreciate the support 🙂
Can't believe you sold the boat after all the work you did on it. Hope you recovered all your costs including all the improvements and labor involved. Haven't seen you new boat, hope she works well for you.
Congratulations looking forward to seeing your new boat.
Wow guys! All the work you guys did? So glad you left her in good hands! Good luck to you!!💞💞🇨🇦
So the adventure continues!! Looking forward to seeing Lucii ll. Thanks for letting us tag along!!
Thanks for supporting the dream! New Luci will not disappoint :)
I know you won’t be sailing the Great Lakes anytime soon. But if you guys are ever near Chicago let us know we will take you out on the town!!
What a journey this has been for you kids, and you took us all along for the ride! Thankful for all of the adventures shared and look forward to those to come. Very nice video with a great "Good Bye"!
Edward Grant thanks for supporting us along the way!! Stoked to continue to share the journey with you 🙂
Has been an excellent adventure watching you two and then three with Luci, Looking forward to when you will share Lucidity with us ! Fair winds and following seas !
Who the hell is chopping onions. Oh man you guys. Beautiful episode and beautiful boat. Looking forward to the next chapter of sailing with you guys ♡
Catherine Janes haha! We’re excited to show off the new gal 🙂
Downsizing from a 35' HR?
Great episode!! I paused at 10:36 went to my bookshelf and I have had that book there for 10+ years! Looking forward to further adventures of LUCII
A couple of things, got a cat named Luci , I’ve downsized from a 30 to a 25 , easier to single-hand and maintain, if you outgrow your new home you can always upsize a little. Congratulations on your new adventures I’m looking forward to seeing your new chapter.
Congratulations and excellent hand-over. Looking forward to Luci II. Skall!
Thanks, Christopher!!!
Sorry to see Luci being sold but happy for you and your new adventure. Im sure your new boat will be everything youve wanted or you wouldnt have sold her. Cant wait to see Lucidity.
She's a beaut! Excited to share her with you :)
I have that book, great book and helped me find my first real cruising boat! Best of luck with the new boat!
It's a great one!
Can't wait to see the new boat! You guys poured heart and soul into Lucy and shows. Especially on your faces when you finally got to take the trip down to Dry Tortugas! My only regret (for you and me both) is that we missed out on opportunity to buy her! Lucy#1 would have been great for the three of us!
Respectfully, I just don't get it.
same.
millennial :)
ditto
She gets sea sick. He is a hustler. What’s to get?
Sweet can’t wait for more
You guys are the best....I have followed you from the start and look forward the videos...Keep up the good work.
Well done! Fair winds and following seas on your new home.
Thank you, Don!
Cant wait to see the new boat and setup.
very sad to leave such a beautiful boat hope you fulfill your dreams with your new boat
Omg all that teak work.
And never again! Well, teak yes but no more deck work.
Teak is a bad idea in the tropics with the heat. Very hot deck. Plus all the maintenance
I've got that book! Love this seeing it on here. Hope one day I can test it's advise like you guys... Had kidney stones too I've felt your pain. Good luck!
Your killing me!!
Loved watching your channel since the first video - it has always been very interesting. However, now it kicks up a notch :) I am hoping to buy a boat, and am taking sailing qualifications as I haven't sailed since my childhood - when my parents had a Leisure 23! I always believed bigger would be better (so 40' ideal). Only thing holding me back now is having enough money - and smaller would solve that. So looking forward to watching this evolution, and having it challenge *my* perception of what is "necessary" - as always :)
Awesome!! Way to keep an open mind and think outside the box :) Whats befuddling to us is why the size required to blue water cruise has progressively gone up every few years. Granted there's not a lot of yacht builders making pocket cruisers anymore but still, the notion that size = seaworthiness just isn't true. Who knows though. We'll report back on our findings to help assist w/ your dream!
Good luck with the new boat!
Omg show us the next boat! Can't wait to see it 😀
Soon :) She'll be worth the wait!!
Kelsey, you almost had me in tears win you started crying, but I held it together because you and Ryan are going to a different boat for new adventures! Let me know if Brew approves of the next boat, one bark for yes and two for no ?
No tears! Only happy tears. Roo will approve of any home if there are treats involved :)
Abandon Comfort
I thought your dogs name was Brew, like beer, it's Roo ! I don't think he likes moring balls ?
Thomas Evers Hates them!
Best of luck with the new adventure!!!!
Same adventure just a different vessel :) Thanks!!
Abandon Comfort can’t wait to see this new beautiful lady!!!
The lessons learned from Lucy are the seeds for your next journey. Fair winds.
You sure do know how to keep this vlog exciting and interesting 😄
Thanks for making my life better.
John The Limo Driver from Kansas city
What a deal!!!!! This is God sent to the buyers
For me, your HR is a perfect size for two (maybe a wee bit small), but it's your dream, not mine. I hope you don't come to regret letting go of such a lovely and seaworthy boat and downsizing so much, but I guess you'll never know unless you do it. Good luck!
