You set the standards and I wish you more voyages. Thank you for sharing what pretty much all of us, never will experience. Absolutely mind bending the luxury you enjoy.
Beautiful video, editing perfect. You two have been my heroes since my first sail boat. Now in my 80,s I wish I had the money to own something as great as this boat. Bless you and your family.
Thank you for this video! I can't afford a yacht myself, so the way the video was shot really made me feel like I was there crossing the Pacific. Awesome images!
Hello from Colombia. Your story over the years is beautiful. I don't know much about boats, but my boyfriend who is from America has shown me several videos of your journey and I was really amazed. Post: Your bit is the boat of the dreams of my dukce boyfriend.Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences
I have circumnavigated snd been to all of these spots in the video- however to do it again in a vessel like this has forced me to start buying lottery tickets once more/ what an incredible creation built on experience!
I think I'm starting to understand the idea behind the design. Long narrow bow that pierces the waves, rather than rising over them. An extended stern tail to assist in getting speed from a following sea safely. Mind you I'm glossing over the years of details and effort in that description. Exposed aluminum everywhere, lack of maintenance. You're sailing who needs that grief? The lack of excessive cabin space compared to length, so as to keep the center of gravity low, unlike most motor yachts that stuff cabin space everywhere possible, so you end up with a wallowing cow. Simple clean living space, high tech, high quality, yet not distracting from the view outside. After all that's why you're there. Every possible piece and part done to make extended cruising safe and comfortable. Am I close? I must say this boat is my favorite yacht of yours, mostly because of the enclosed matrix deck. I think that adds majorly to it's looks and livability. Confession time, I'm an avowed landlubber who takes showers because tubs have deep water. My sole time on the ocean has been on the ferry to Vancouver Island. Please excuse the lack of proper terminology. What you have done interest me. Thank you for the videos. Doug

Agree. Looks like a navy ship on the interior. The longer the hull on a displacement ship the faster the theoretical speed. That's why the CVN aircraft carriers are so fast.
The hull form is offshore supply/crew vessel,there are similar designs in Netherlands yes the vessel is very speedy that’s way none interior elements..
Howdy Nuts: You are very close. The distribution of interior volume is based on the following: 1-Keeping living areas as close to the motion center as possible for comfort and better rest at sea. 2-Systems within the engine room and elsewhere installed in such a manner that they are easily accessible for inspection and maintenance. 3-Room for supplies, and loose equipment so that it can be stored in an orderly, easily retrieved manner. Regarding the waterline length, this is a benefit in terms of reduced drag, and allows shaping the hull so that it is more easily steered compared to a shorter, fatter waterline design.
This is the best boat yacht I have ever seen. Exactly confortable the way it should be. Thanks to have taken the time to build it and please build more of the same I want to buy one
I greatly appreciate your video. My dear uncle Vic, who passed two years ago was a cruiser. I am a just a day sailor who never quite understood his passion for voyaging for, literally, years at a time. Your insight into the details has made his passion clearer. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this video. Unfortunately I can’t be on a boat without getting sick. Lol but i can still enjoy watching other good people like all of you go sailing. I love the Islands you visited. Just beautiful.
Thanks for the wonderful voyage . At 74 years of age and no where near enough money to buy or rent such a yacht and no desire to spend that much time on the water I really enjoyed your video .
Beautiful guys, just beautiful.All of it, people, ship, photos, information, and Sarah's music. Her music brought me back to my time in the coffee houses in Toronto's Yorkville { The Village } back in the 60's. Thanks for your post folks.
I hope someone can take your lead and continue producing these wonderful yachts. They have such an elegance but also being so raw. Thank you for this wonderful video and Sue's music is so soothing. Linda and Steve, I hope you have many wonderful years of retirement. Thank you again and calm seas
I doubt it. The internet has given the world the ability to see how the other half lives. Before the internet there was ignorance, now we see how unequal the world really is.
I don't think of this wasteful, environmentally disastrous lifestyle as at all "fortunate." For a couple who claim to love the sea yet still spend a tankage budget of "4700 usable gallons of diesel fuel" in order to prove that their latest design can go to windward (all while making a sales video - let's call this what it is), is the height of hypocrisy. The Dashews are just another profligate luxury brand, nothing less, and certainly nothing more. Let's call them the Kardashians of the sea. This video's "yacht" has long been supplanted. They're currently selling 97 footers.....motorboats that even more than this look like military patrol vessels. The Dashews call it a "battle-worthy look."
@Eric Fermin instead of being jealous why don't you go make your own fortune. Steve and his Dad both made their money through inventing. Stanley came up with a bunch of patents in various industries. Steve came up with several in the concrete construction industry then turned his hand to yacht design. Both earned their money.
I just found your channel and thoroughly enjoyed the voyage. Out of all the circumnavigation I watch from other cruisers, this truly has been my favorite. May God bless you.
Beautifully filmed by an extraordinary couple, their design language, and the exceptional yachts that their design philosophy has brought about. Thank you for posting this! Cheers from New York!
Hi Steve & Linda, what a magnificent yacht!!! I plan to travel along with you on the awesome journey. Thanks for sharing. Pat Schmidt Hall(Jim's sister)
As a former Sailor in the U.S. Navy I have served aboard two Nuclear Aircraft Carriers and one Fast Frigget. I have been watching the FPB RUclips videos for a couple of years with a smile on my face. Thank you for sharing!!
I remember reading your sail from Tahiti to the west coast of the USA , sailing between 2 tropical storms in Bearwolf ( I think) , so long ago. It was my favorite large sailing yacht. I think I still have the article somewhere in my collection. Glad to see the two of you still crossing oceans and enjoying life. Congratulations on doing things other people ( and me) still dream about.
Thanks Stephen: Beowulf is still our favorite as well. If you are interested check out the sailing videos on The Dashew Offshore You Tube channel. Among these is a video covering the Marquesas to San Diego passage about which the article you mentioned was about.
less than 1 gallon per mile for a 78' boat and do 4700 nm in one go at a great speed ? Wow, those are great numbers. Boat looks to handle beautiful in the waves. Nice video
Wow this was amazing journey ! I am building currently a completely electric boat i’m hoping to do the same route but from Panama to New Zealand stopping in French Polynesia Nice boat 👍
Such a a pleasure to watch another thrilling episode of the Dashew's as they cruise some familiar seas . I can only but try to thank you both, for sharing the magnificent photographs and footage taken whilst cruising aboard your superb vessel. Setting and keeping such a high standard is what makes for perhaps the best ocean going channel on the tube . That being said , the Majestic Osprey gets best image this episode. Thanks Crew,,, Much Respect from Down Under
Beautiful music, beautiful video, wonderful narration, and the Finest Perfect Boat!!! That must be the derivation of FPB. I am inspired by all of this! Thank you so much for this!
A 22% reduction in SOG results in 74% decrease in fuel burn. However, that lower SOG keeps you in adverse current an additional 72 nm which results in an additional 410 gallons. Hey, what are ya gonna do except steam further north to search out more favorable conditions. What is the speed (or better, the engine RPMs) for maximum endurance on Chochise? Also, by noting you crossed the equator at 108 degrees you were north of the rhumb line. My guess was you went searching for the counter current. This was an exciting voyage, thank you for taking us along.
You've got a good eye for ferreting out detail! We varied our course considerably once we were a couple of days east of the Marquesas islands, first working north of the great circle (which does not help much in low latitudes), and then doing a bit of chasing. The counter current is not well defined, so a fair amount of intuition and guesswork is required. We had current against us of as much as 3.5 knots - very depressing - and occasionally of a couple of knots helping. The height of the Matrix deck helped in checking the sea state at a mile or more and this was our best clue as to which way to head. As to the optimum speed for max range, this is around a SLR of 1.05, or 9.6 knots. However, going slow means more boat motion as both dynamic stability and that of the active stabilizer fins are helped enormously by speed. We typically never cruise at less than a through the water speed of 10 knots, and most often we settle in at 10.5 knots. For the Leg to Panama we actually ran at 11 knots STW which netted roughly ten knots SOG. We were aided the last couple of days by intermittent favorable current and following breezes.
@@DashewOffshore We can always count on you for a rapid reply. Thank you. Actually, my estimate of an additional 72 nm was in error for it does not account for the retard of advancement by the adverse current. Somewhat immaterial but I have a need to be precise. And yes, I didn't think great circle would be too much of a factor at those lats. I absolutely understanding about speed and dynamic motion. While an optimal design may seem impossible, your designs have come as close to the mark as ever. Plus, the astounding level of comfort which is a huge factor on passages. Question: with respect to the FPB, what could you do to increase the SLR ratio? Thanks again.
I was crew on a 120' mono hull that made that "little" run in 28 days almost exclusively on sail only, the Captain and the owner both enjoyed sailing and not motoring and of course our limited fuel supply we could probably only make 240 nautical miles before we ran out of fuel. Quite an experience.
Same here! I chartered a 47 footer in the Caribbean once, but my wife didn't care for it. She would never allow the family to have a nice boat, much less a very expensive one like this.
I don't know why RUclips recommended your channel today, but you showed me a new way of approaching sailing around the world. The Matrix deck is what I've been looking for the whole time.
Probably should've made four separate videos out of this video. One about this trip, one about the boat design, one about your oceanic experience and history and one about the modifications you made and why.
I love your channel I just found out through RUclips searching congratulation on this awesome boat you have that is a Dreamboat to live aboard for life. You guys are the few people in the world that have something like this small yacht that you can live aboard go from long distances. I just described hoping to see more new videos thank you for sharing.⚓⛵👍
Amazing machine, I'm impressed. To me it takes all the fun and challenge out of traveling by boat though, that thing is prettier inside and roomier than my house. 😂
Trying to catch some sleep off shift with a bluff bow wave smacking shuddering the whole boat (you never know if its going to be a hard or soft landing on each fall) brings back memories of wishing the bow shape was different.
This is just awesome I'm 30 now and my dream is to buy a sailing boat rather than a house in the next 10years nothing seems more freeing than sails on your 'house' and following the wind. Wish I I could design/build my own, but I think with my lack of knowledge a lightly damaged hurricane boat and doing the repairs myself is the best option.
Our suggestion is to go early rather than waiting until you have saved sufficiently for a larger fancier yacht. The older you get the more tied down you become, the harder it is to truly break free.
Nice. Always planned on buying a Dashew design yacht. The design features always put practicality above ego. Unless my Tesla investments go hyperbolic I'm not going to realize the dream. Would be happy to help anyone wanting an experienced Mariner to do a passage like this, now that I have no compelling commitments. Returning to New Zealand late January 2022 to sort of retire.
This is a ridiculous statement, but if win the lottery, this is what I'd buy. Of all the boats I've seen, these are my favorites. I like the Bering boats a lot, as well as some other real explorer boats, but these are just on a different level. So, win the lottery, go to nautical school, apprentice on a boat (I'm not a sailer) and buy one of these.... I think that's all I need to do. Need to start buying lottery tickets. Side note, the pictures they take are beautiful.
Have you ever calculated a difference of speed with sloped windows? What is the impact rating of the window strength? What is their thermal rating? How much weight did you save by not having a paint job? What kind of heating system is employed for common area's? Interesting idea of the large data screens. Beautiful stateroom almost don't miss windows. Right off the slip how much would a vessel like this run? Cheers and favorable seas.
You will find answers to most of your questions on SetSail.com. Re the increased drag of sloped windows, the reverse slope has so many advantages we happily pay the drag penalty. The great room windows are stronger than those required for hurricane in the most stringent areas of Florida. A paint job would take around 1000 pounds at a minimum. Heat is available from the engines underway, from a Webasto boiler, and from reverse cycle air conditioning (which is rarely used). There are at present no FPB 78s available. But check with Sue.Grant@Berthon.co.uk as she will know when a FPB becomes available.
Is Sarah, the singer your daughter? She has a beautiful voice. Seriously! I am sure you are very proud. Does music run in your family? The use of T.V.s as moniters is incredible, as is the amount and sizes of windows. This is a truly epic build. I am sure the change to motor sailing, from purely wind has been a nice change of pace. We can't keep running around 30 degree decks, pulling sail all our lives! Lol!! Thank you for posting such a pleasurable video.
Thanks for the comments Solo: Linda has a lovely voice, mine is more related to frogs. But then I did learn how to play three songs on the guitar a long time ago. So, Sarah;s musical talent does not come from my end of the gene pool.
Just a thought - As I really love the music, it would be nice if you could do a mix with sailing and music only. Love to walk through my lounge room (on land) and see sea.... sea see lol So relaxing........

Thats pretty cool not just the boat but the couple still doing what they love . they win the award for living the good life.
I am deeply touched by the story of the Dashews. It is a Love story of 2 people and their love of the sea. I would entrust my life with their boats.

Superb recommendation it also shows how good the fpb is in motion but the travel and photography is stunning from Tony flemming

So, win the lottery, go to nautical school, apprentice on a boat (I'm not a sailer) and buy one of these.... I think that's all I need to do. Need to start buying lottery tickets.
Side note, the pictures they take are beautiful.
This was amazing!! What a life!!!
Great video.
Brilliant dashew design thank you for sharing superb
Impressive numbers and layout
Amazing ship, thank you
This looks and sounds exactly like the travel presentations that made the rounds of community organizations in the 60s and 70s. Interesting.
than ks for the vid excellent design concept , waiting for the next long distance cruise you have in mind
I am inspired by your voyage.
Excellent video, thank you
What a beautiful yacht. Perfect really.
Have you ever calculated a difference of speed with sloped windows?
What is the impact rating of the window strength?
What is their thermal rating?
How much weight did you save by not having a paint job?
What kind of heating system is employed for common area's?
Interesting idea of the large data screens.
Beautiful stateroom almost don't miss windows.
Right off the slip how much would a vessel like this run?
Cheers and favorable seas.
You will find answers to most of your questions on SetSail.com. Re the increased drag of sloped windows, the reverse slope has so many advantages we happily pay the drag penalty. The great room windows are stronger than those required for hurricane in the most stringent areas of Florida. A paint job would take around 1000 pounds at a minimum. Heat is available from the engines underway, from a Webasto boiler, and from reverse cycle air conditioning (which is rarely used). There are at present no FPB 78s available. But check with Sue.Grant@Berthon.co.uk as she will know when a FPB becomes available.
@@DashewOffshore Thanks for the information. Cheers!
Its hard to imagine the knowledge those two sailors have combined
Very interesting and informative well made video thank you.
Is Sarah, the singer your daughter? She has a beautiful voice. Seriously! I am sure you are very proud. Does music run in your family? The use of T.V.s as moniters is incredible, as is the amount and sizes of windows. This is a truly epic build. I am sure the change to motor sailing, from purely wind has been a nice change of pace. We can't keep running around 30 degree decks, pulling sail all our lives! Lol!! Thank you for posting such a pleasurable video.
Thanks for the comments Solo: Linda has a lovely voice, mine is more related to frogs. But then I did learn how to play three songs on the guitar a long time ago. So, Sarah;s musical talent does not come from my end of the gene pool.
@@DashewOffshore You got me! I love it.
Wishing you both many more NM ahead!
Just a thought - As I really love the music, it would be nice if you could do a mix with sailing and music only. Love to walk through my lounge room (on land) and see sea.... sea see lol
So relaxing........
