We have landed at the HH factory and I don’t think I have ever been more excited, nervous, and overwhelmed. Because we are about to see our new catamaran for the very first time. Ok, it’s probably the same emotions I felt on the day we signed the boat build contract but somehow it feels different.
It’s been almost a year since we sold Curiosity in New Zealand and began the build of Curiosity 2. And when we purchased, the HH44 was little more than a concept with a few digital renderings. They hadn’t even started building the molds yet. But it ticked all the boxes we really wanted in a boat.
In concept, it was as close to “the perfect boat” as we could imagine. Because HH would be building it from the ground up with strength, performance, and self-reliance in mind. There’s no way any retrofit we could ever do would be nearly as good...right?!
But it’s no longer a concept, it’s a real boat and I can't help myself, I have a lot of expectations. So yes, I am excited but I am also nervous.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of modern-day documentarians, perpetual travelers, and seekers of tall tales.
We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. Self-reliance and living a sustainable lifestyle are a must. It's all about managing our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.
We've lived off the grid for over 10 years now in everything from a Van to RV to a Sailboat. And over time we have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water, and managing our waste.
Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

What a big moment for you both! First time stepping on your boat. Your faces say it all- gratitude, excitement and pride🙌.
It was a big moment, thanks for being a part of it!
🎉Dang, I’ze in love.
I still stand firm that Jason deserves a dishwasher. 😉😂 I love the color and I can’t wait for you both to take her out for a spin.
I agree!
Yes, Jason needs a dishwasher!!
I vote for Jason’s dishwasher too 🙌
My husband installed a dishwasher on our catamaran after watching the video. We even have the dog- prewash!
Yes, he does. Give the man the dishwasher. Is it really too much for a man to ask for?
So happy for you both! I love the color too! Stay safe & enjoy your adventure! It will be so nice when its complete!
I’m so happy and excited for you! I got teary with you…it’s hard to believe the blessings sometimes isn’t it? Can’t WAIT to see all the new adventures you will go on in that most stunning boat!!!❤❤❤
"And then, the workshop!" "Squeeee!!!" LOL! It's lovely, guys. Congratulations! Your baby is beautiful.
the colour is outstanding, HH is building a fantastic home for you both, your enthusiasm speaks volumes, cannot wait for the launch.
The Color is amazing, the boat looks amazing and you both are amazing!!! Wow!!!! is pretty much all I can say! Congratulations and thank you for taking us along as you first stepped on the boat! looking forward to learning more about the area you are in, and seeing the progress of the boat and of course the finished product!!! Enjoy the journey!!!
Wow! What a beautiful vessel. So glad you are able to be there and see her come together. Enjoy the journey!
Beautiful colors! So happy for you guys ❤
my choice is one shade darker green. yours is a good choice as well. 😎
I heard Nikki praising the color( cool color) 😉🤔but what about Jason's comment 😅
I had a road bicycle that color and consistently was complimented on the very attractive color.
Awesome boat! So much space, so much light, so well thought-out. And yes, the hull color is lovely -- cheerful, vibrant, unusual.
I love, love, love the color. Thanks for sharing your new boat with us. Can't wait to see it finished. I'm so excited for you.
I LOVE the color and it was one that I picked! Great job! 😉 So awesome to finally see more updates on your new home! So happy for you both. ❤🎉
Magnificent hull and topside color combo. May I suggest that in the unlikely event your boat turns turtle that you consider painting an orange safety stripe, from bow to stern, on the underside of the center between the cat hulls. The stripe would be hidden from eye view under normal upright cruising. This stripe would aid SOS identification because your colors, although beautiful, are very hard to see by the Coast Guard in a choppy ocean.
And would look like the Miami Dolphins 😂
You're in Xiamen! When i saw that it blew my mind. Ive lived in Xiamen for the past 10 years and i had no idea there was a place building boats like that nearby. Was kinda thrilling seeing you walk around town and I kept recognizing places i know or the lake i go on walks by. Im an American so its always exciting to see others making videos in "my" city.
I flew through Xiaman once on Xiamen Air, and we landed just to go through security and went through 4 check points through a rat maze of corridors and back on the same plane. Crazy experience. But after that, there was only 1 passenger per isle, and I got to sleep across 4 seats all the way to LAX.
Yay! The boat tour was so much fun! So happy for the both of you!❤❤❤❤❤
I love the color!!!! Also I can't wait to see all the future adventures. Hope she will safely carry you, wherever the wind takes you.
That’s literally the boat of dreams. I can’t imagine the feeling. The color is amazing ❤
Love the color. Love your wholesome, curious, sharing attitude toward travel and sailing!
Love the color! So happy to see the progress, and so looking forward to your future sailing adventures!
IDEA for the Wynns: For the workshop bench top. How about a drop in wood surface than can get all beat up and when it gets too bad just drop in another piece of wood? You'll have a lip or fingers that will hold it in place. You could go with bamboo since it's more eco friendly and it's water resistant.
I love the color
Just some screws from below, easily removable
The color is gorgeous. The entire boat is amazing. Well done. You guys deserve this.
I love the colour and the boat! Congrats, I’m glad to see all your hard work come to fruition! Also, the wise words from your friends about choices made are spot on but I would expect nothing less from a couple so I tuned with their sailing experience. Cheers, Phil.
Wow the new catamaran looks epic!!! I love all the outlets inside the drawers to keep things off the countertops. So excited for you guys. Love you and can't wait to see this in person one day!!!
This makes my heart so very happy for you both, I have been watching you guys for a long time. I'm super excited every time there is a new video that you have uploaded for us, my heart absolutely swells with happiness for the two of you. Can't wait for the maiden voyage!!!!!
Thank goodness for the Wynns! Sunday mornings are so much better because of them! 😊👍🌸
The color is definitely curiosity! You could not have picked a better color for the boat! It just fits perfectly!
I'm just not sure it's going to look good in the long run. It may turn out to be a haircut you hate when you look back in 20 years and then you'd be scratching your head wondering what the heck you were thinking back then..
@@junkname9983 Does that mean you
don't like it? Im just hoping it doesn't make it difficult to spot when out to sea. Otherwise, I think its pretty!
Very happy for you guys. It will be great when you get on the water in your new boat and we see actual ship-handling under real world conditions. Of course, your destinations and adventures are something I look forward to also, being land locked as I am.
How exciting! She is absolutely stunning and I love the color. I can’t wait to watch you sailing on her!
The colour is as gorgeous as Nikki
Love this exciting tour
It’s going to be amazing to sail / live / film ❤
Creepy
@@kevincinnamontoast3669 you just want to see compliments go by the wayside I suppose? Go have a Bud Light and check your makeup.
I am astonished by the build quality and level of detail. Seems even better than some stuff that has been around much longer. Looks like this will be one amazing boat. Congratulations.
The impeccable quality of their other boats is what attracted us to HH and gave us the confidence to sign on a new concept. We were nervous but they have delivered!
Time is the real test of a quality boat build.
Let's hope she looks this good in 10 years.
@@rcollinge325 That is true.However I have been sailing now for about 25 years and since I was a skipper for hire, I was on dozens of different boats. You get a good eye for details and stuff that makes sense over time. The ultimate test is time, but it does look really good when you compare it to other manufacturers raw finishes.
Chinese workers know their work affects the very lives of their family members.
I'm also waiting anxiously for the import of Chinese RV's the the US. The build and quality look amazing (at least in pictures), and will put the US RV industry out of business. Guaranteed.
I was so excited for you both...your new boat is absolutely beautiful! Cannot wait to see it come together. Just awesome!
What an absolute beauty guys. Amazing! You did a great job with the spec, and I must admit I am a bit jealous about the workshop 😍! Can’t wait to see it sailing!
Love the color you chose.
I admire your adaptability while your boat is being built. You have kept us entertained during for what must feel like forever. Also, the sound in your vids is so crisp and clear. 👍
The narrative, the editing, the music, the vibes, the 'childish' appreciation and optimism you bring on such a rare jewel. This is just amazing, congratz to the team. I noticed the part about languages. If you wish I would be happy to talk about providing subtitles/transcripts in 108 languages of your vids, using AI instead of google translate ;-)
You guys are blessed.❤😊
Congrats you two! So jelly.. the color works, matching your logo. Can’t wait to see it on the water!
So, very happy for the two of you! I love the color you chose and I've so excited with and for you! How fun to get to step on your cat for the first time. WoO HOo!!
I"m so excited for you both. I must admit I've been going back and watching your sailing videos because I miss your sailing adventures. Your video with the self-reliant motorhome you did years and years ago inspired my year-long RV trip with my children and we've been watching you ever since and living vicariously through you. Love what you do and your kindness and positivity with everyone you've come in contact with over the years is just an example for the rest of us. God bless you on this new journey with your new vessel.
The boat is AMAZING!!! The colour is my favourite, so beautiful! I’m so excited for you both. You deserve every happiness! Glad you enjoyed England 🏴
Wow! It’s just beautiful & well designed. Can’t wait for you guys get into your new home.
Really exciting! LOVE the colour and looking forward to seeing it when it's finished!
So exciting!! Thanks for taking us along to see it for the first time!! I love my Sunday mornings with the Wynns ❤
That’s an absolutely stunning boat!! Very impressed with the HH factory and that spray booth. That color is perfection Nikki!! I absolutely LOVE IT!! Cannot wait to see her finished!!
So happy for you both! Nice to see it finally! I share in your excitement and looking forward to many adventures! Thank you! ❤
Great to see you so open to learning other languages! Yup, I can confirm that Mandarin is a tough language for English speakers to learn. We had a Mandarin class at my middle school which I took for one quarter and it was…definitely not enough to grasp the language. But I’ve gotten a whole lot better with it thanks to constant practice and research. Practice makes perfect, of course! Never give up! Your new catamaran looks wonderful! Your channel logo makes you stand out with its bright background (and in a way can symbolize how bright this channel is!) and to see that color on the catamaran, shows just how passionate you both are for this! It perfectly fits the boat of your dreams, and watching this is like seeing two kids on Christmas morning!
Now that you’re in China, I hope you consider a trip (or an eventual one) to Hong Kong! It may all look like a city (quite the foodie city too!), but there IS a place that has to do with boats! The Aberdeen floating village. There, people live on 600 boats! And back in the 1980s, it had a population of 40,000 (and 150K in the 1960s)! English is an official language of Hong Kong so you’d have no problem finding someone to talk to you about the place. Some of these people who live on their boats drive and do sightseeing tours of the waterfront for tourists!
Lived in Beijing for 10 years. You can pick it up in two years with one year full time study and then the rest with immersion.
I love the color! 🩵
I'm very happy for the two of you. Congratulations on seeing her in person and being able to go aboard. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Been waiting for this one. So exciting! Can’t wait to see her on the water 😊
Nikki and Jason -- I've been watching you two since your early RV days! I've been with you guys through THICK and THIN. I gotta say, this ..... THIS is a GREAT pinnacle in your on-line career! Because I have had SUCH a long time with you guys, I feel somewhat emotionally attached to you both. So, here I am, some large burley man, sitting at his computer getting EMOTIONAL in your AMAZING achievements and being able to see your, VERY soon, future in your NEW boat!!! ... I gotta admit, there's NO words in ANY language that has the ability of telling you two how HAPPY I am for both of you!! I'll just say this, below are the times that I was SOOOO HAPPY for you that I found myself getting emotional FOR you!!! ..... 3:44 ... 3:45 ... 3:50 ... 3:54 ... 4:13 ... 4:22 ... 4:29 ... 4:44 ... 4:49 ... 4:54 ... (Not so emotional about the Surfshark sponsor because I've already bought it from you, as the affiliate) ... 10:00 ... 10:02 ... 10:23 ... 10:43 ... 10:46 ... 10:51 (YES!!! LOVE IT!!!) ... 11:00 ... 11:23 ... 11:40 ... 12:43 ... 13:08 ... 13:54 ... 15:10 ... 15:25 ... 15:47 (I'm SOOOO glad that Jason won that dishwasher discussion a while back!!!) ... 29:05 ... 15:45 (Electrical outlets EVERYWHERE!!) ... 18:16 (AWESOME Nav Station!!!) ... 20:03 (The Owners Hull - AMAZING amount of ROOM!!) 20:35 (FLAT windows! YAAAAY!!!) 21:05 (There's Nikki's wardrobe closet, Jason gets a drawer somewhere... HAHAHA) 22:17 ... 22:52 ... 23:26 (The WORKSHOP!! OMG!!.... AWESOME amount of great room to do all your repairs and upgrades!!) 24:30 (OMG!! 43.2 Watt Hours?? HOLY COW!!! That's a HUGE amount of power storage!!! So are you SURE that 4232 watts of solar will keep all those batteries topped off? Personally, I believe that's where you may have a bit of an issue mainly because there are a LOT of cloudy days there on the waters and that's a CRAP load of battery storage that you'll want to keep as FULL as possible. Are you going to have any kind of gasoline genset also?) ... 27:44 (LOVE that rain capture system also!!!)
So guys, again, I could NOT be happier and EXCIETED for you to own that BEAUTIFUL new vessel and to make that FIRST SPLASH!!!! WOW!!!
Awe, don’t worry, I will give Jason two drawers. 🤣 But seriously, thank you so much for being on the wild ride with us. It makes me happy that you are happy! Excitement is contagious in the very best way. 🤗
So exciting guys! Happy for you. Can't wait to see it finished
It’s so exciting to watch you and root for you as you make your way to your new home. Congratulations, guys.
So excited for the both of you, I like the teal colors :)
Teal has always been one of my favorite, It reminds me of tropical islands which is the point I imagine
🎉🎉🎉the color is fabulous. So excited to see the process of your transitioning to your new home🎉
Congratulations, youve gave us so much pleasure watching your endeavors over the years, to see the happiness in your faces was a joy. Youre no imposters.
LOVE IT! So happy for you two!
The boat looks beautiful! One of my drum sets is pretty close to the same color that I always use when playing outdoors in the sun. Because it looks so beautiful in the sun. Great choice guys!
So exciting! The boat looks great! Many congratulations! It will be so fun to see it as it comes along.
Amazing experience guys, so happy for you! Keep bringing your positive energy.
She is gorgeous and looks capable as well. Visibility is incredible. You guys have done a great job planning this out. Very excited for you and me cause I get to watch! Yahhoo!😊
I love this boat! YOUR BOAT!!! Your sailing experience shaped this design! Well done!
Amazing 😻 wow! Thank you for sharing this wild journey you’ve been on!!
So excited for you guys. Can't wait to see you sailing again! Love the color!
Beautiful! You will really enjoy adventures on this amazing cat!
So happy for you both! Super cool to see the boat become a reality, and the genuine excitement in you both is infectious. PS, that colour is frigging awesome! Cheers, T
Can’t wait to see it on the water, looks great. Happy for you guys.
GREAT COLOR! You are truly blessed. Thanks for sharing the surprise.
That's great you've gotten so far on your catamaran can't wait to see it on it's first sail!
Watching them roll that beautiful boat out of the paint shed, I got teary eyed! Amazing how large it is. Was feeling more like a inter galactic spaceship. My soul perked up when you said "workshop" thinking "where would I put my lathe..." Hell of a lot of work to still be done, so well thought out, love the cupboard spaces everywhere. I am just so thrilled for y'all! I can only imagine how you're both feeling finally getting to see this catamaran in person, and with the Curiosity color no less! As you said, it's also so great to finally get a feel for the space (as you can never really tell from artist impressions).
As someone once said, to have another language is to possess another soul. You're trying your best to learn something new, and that's what counts! Mandarin is the most spoken language in the world! Not to mention being able to speak more than one language gives you more opportunities! Xiamen has historically been so important when it comes to trade. Because of Qing treaties with foreign powers, Xiamen became a center for tea trade with hundreds of thousands of tons shipped yearly to Europe and the Americas. Today, Xiamen remains an important port! It is ranked the 8th-largest container port in China and ranks 17th in the world.
She’s a beauty!
So excited for you both.
Looking forward to seeing her in action.
They’re doing a beautiful job on it. I love the color. It looks so big!
Wow! Excited for you guys!! Its a 10! Gorg color!! I also liked that Rose (?) colored boat, they are such nice boats! You guys will be SO happy with it. Your footage of China surprised me! Its so clean. So no looters? No graffiti? Everyone is nice & respectful. Good to know.
I encourage you to travel around China. I have longed to see someone sail China. The entire country is so clean, safe and beautiful. I have been from Beijing to Tibet and it squashes all expectations and prejudices. Love Nikki's Audrey Hepburn outfit and of course i love your new boat.
I love, absolutely love the minimalist look and very large windows. Perfection!❤🎉
Gorgeous boat and color! Congrats guys. Living vicariously through you.
I absolutely LOVE the color, the size, everything about the boat! It’s absolutely stunning and I am officially 200% jealous 😂
Beautiful boat! Can’t wait to see her launched. As a side note, did you realise when you were walking along the river, your handbag matched the boat!!! Soo happy for you both.
Love the colour! You have got to be so excited!
Love the color!!! Can’t wait to see you all back in the water.
Make sure to check out the Zheng He museum (great Chinese explorer) and the southern Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. Take the train. I saw your boat in Coromandel last year and have just missed you again in Xiamen. Also check out the tea culture there. It has a big history. All the best.
Ahh you are like Proud Parents. The whole process is very impressive. Really looking forward to seeing the transition to the finished product. Congratulations 🎉
Looks lovely guys! Grats! I love the colour too!
Your sailboat is coming along nicely. Love the color a lot. It's huge/ Can't wait, as I am sure you are, to see the boat finished and in the water. Stay safe and stay groovy.
Awesome color. It reminds me some 50's cars.
So happy for you guys that all your hard work documenting your travels for years is paying off for a well-earned, well-built yacht! Love the story telling; love the hip-hop transition as the boat is coming out of the paint shop!
Amazing to see the progress. So excited to see the next video, thanks for sharing.
I Love the color very nice choice .I'm happy for you both. Can't wait to see it in the water.
Great start to a Sunday morning here in Florida. Thanks
Hey!!! Waving
I'm so happy for you! :) THAT is my FAVORITE color. When they rolled that pretty baby out of the paint area into the sunlight I KNOW your heart skipped a beat. What a fun day for you- Congrats! I even envy your trip to China. I would love to tour it. I wonder how many times you will view this video yourselves before you actually take possession. Very very happy for you! Thank you always for posting.
I didn’t particularly like the colour, it looks great.. would be fade resistant because no strong pigments.. I would probably go a sliver if i had my choice.. with the roof in some contrasting colour that was highly visible from the air, (obviously between the panels) like a metallic orange, orange and silver go good together.. very modern..
I'm sorry for asking probably told Several times.... What color again.... We like it
@@blkrobnpk I definitely don’t hate it.. i do agree with you she looks great.. i was reading through the comments, because honestly I’ve no idea what brand of Cat she is? Because i prefer it over the Sea wind.. this just is simple a channel I don’t normally follow, even though i run a RUclips sailing channel on Facebook.. didn’t mean to offend you at all..
kindest regards Trev..
Wow, looks so good! Cant wait till you guys get to start doing all the fun stuff, like moving in your things and setting everything up!
Super excited about your new boat, really looking forward to you guys getting back on the water
WOW … out of all the builds - La Vaga, Ruby Rose, Doodles … boat looks AMAZING! So happy for you both. Hats off to Seth! @thesailingfamily
HH seems to be well in front of both RR & Lavaga on style and build , amazing
Dont forget Tula's. They already launched..
More storage and a better layout overall than the HH52 forward cockpit. Nav seat is key
have you see Tally Ho's build? Now THAT is a classy boat.
One word…FAB U LOUS !!!
Commie Catamaran Central. Love the color
How fun guys. Just think of the adventures you will have. So happy for you.
Congratulations guys, I wish I found you guys when you were living the rv life so I could have experienced that journey with you , however lucky me I found you guys at the very beginning of your boat life on the leopard and move in day. Wow what a journey with that boat, all the places all the storms surprises including the missing life raft, it was just gone. I look so forward to your new journeys of discovery from repairs to experiences, hopefully repair are minimal but I like watching you guys figure it out calmly and getting it done. Happy sailing soon I hope , and I know you guys cant wait.
I’m so excited for you guys. I almost feel like it is mine minus the payments because I will be traveling in it for years to come. Thank you from an anxiety filled agoraphobe traveling vicariously through you both. I really wish you the best.
What David said 😬😂!!
Thanks for sharing the truth about the warm and welcoming Chinese people. This is why we choose to live in this part of the world (SE Asia)... for this very reason. Enjoy.
This looks so lovely! I love the color too! So happy for you!!!
Looks like an amazing boat! Lots of good cruiser-specific touches.
What an excellent day for Sailing content! GWTW and Tula both bringing dreams to life! Congratulations on the giddiness and excitement of starting a new set of adventures!
Right! Those guys have had a very long wait, super excited to see them get their boat!!!!
Must admit I was Giddy waiting for this first peek at the new boat. Beautiful color. Great fun video.
I’m so excited for you two …. And all of us watching. ❤️
The color is absolutely amazing. Love it!
Love the colour! Can't wait till see you out and about sailing again.
