Hi Sonya, It's Rob from Svendsen's Bay Marine. I met Brady Trautman last week. He mentioned that he connects with you guys in Mexico. Good luck to you. Keep in touch. I am ramping-up social media for SBM, so I'll give you a shout-out! Let me know if you need anything. Great job with the boat tour!
Hi Rob! Great you got to meet Brady, him and Blue are always a treat and very cool people. We are currently in French Polynesia and it’s beautiful! I wish we had more time to edit videos but I do social media management for marine businesses and it’s keeping me busy! Hope you are well, cheers!
Just spied your boat from the Bayview Restaurant in PT! I knew it was a Passport 42, and saw the name, so I figured I’d give it a google. Congrats on L’in the D… and all that comes with it!
Hi guys. Great tour of a practical arrangement. It's clear you've applied real experience with how you operate her. Not sure where you are now on your electric repower. I repowered my brewer 12.8 with an electric yacht system. If you want perspective (all positive) on how it has worked for a vessel of similar vintage and displacement, feel free to reach out.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching our boat tour! Awesome to hear you’ve gone electric as well, we are super happy with the system we installed from Powerflow Marine & we’ve put it to the test - currently sailing in French Polynesia after our 23 day crossing from Mexico!
Greetings from Tucson, Arizona. I luv your boat! It is quite beautiful and the galley is among the best I've seen since my 'search' began last year. I'm getting ready to sell my house and set sail to the South Pacific and Passport is at the top of the list. I'm intrigued 'bout your conversion and looking forward to future episodes.
Thanks for the compliment, Gemini appreciates it. The Passport range is quite impressive and Stan Huntingford designed a couple. We’re diving into replacement of the chainplates down here in Mexico. Our Patreon crew is getting real-time updates as we go along. Stay Salty!
You and me both! We are sharing all the project details on our Patreon page and eventually will put together a RUclips miniseries to share the project from start to finish!
You two have done a wonderful job with Gemini and we can't wait to see the electric conversion happen. We're still considering doing the same thing on our boat.Enjoy the warmer weather!
Congratulations ! Sailing ⛵️ absolutely beautiful education I very proud you guys interesting sailing very much .Greetings from beautiful tropical Hawaii islands ⛵️ 🏝
Thanks for subscribing! Big things happening onboard Gemini. The project is already underway and we're giving realtime updates to our Patreon crew. Video series on the re-power won't be up till the end of summer.
@@TwotheHorizonSailing awesome! Keep it up!!! It seems like it’s doing better than your other videos! Since you have “Passport 42” already in both the description and tn, you could add a bit more hype in the title. Something like, “Boat tour of a classic liveaboard yacht” or “one of the best boats to live on!” 💜
Thanks, she has treated us very well the past 6 years. We have a small garbage van & recycling reusable bag that are secured just to starboard of the companionway stairs. Pretty much just below the cabinet with our foul weather gear.
Love this and love your channel! For the past 9 years I've kept a Catalina 470 in San Francisco (Oyster Point > Emeryville > Treasure Island > Central Basin). As I'm almost done with my refit but haven't gone full Lithium yet, I'm curious: how much battery are you planning on? And how much solar are you packing? These are the last pieces of the puzzle before I leave this year.
Hey thanks! Man we love our LiFePO4 bank. We’ll definitely have more details about the systems onboard asap. Currently the boat is having open heart surgery, chainplates are being replaced here in MX. For our 12v system we have a 600ah bank and 820 watts of solar. This has allowed us to be off shore power for over a year with ease. We help fellow cruisers navigate project and electrical upgrades.

Thank you for this video. It's the best interior review I have seen. I have been aboard a Slocum 43 and really appreciate the attention to detail that Huntingford put into this design (nearly the same vessel, with a few differences). How do you find sailing her in the PNW - light wind sailing, windward performance, etc.? Along the BC south coast, the winds are so variable and often light. I'd love to hear about how you manage that in a heavy displacement cruiser (the SA/D value for the Passport is just a bit better than the Slocum's). Also, I noticed that your galley layout is a bit different than other 42's I've looked at online - you have a peninsula opposite the nav station that I haven't seen before. Was this a feature of particular years?
Thanks! and good eye with the questions. Gemini has a one off interior from the factory. The commissioning owners moved the bulkheads back by almost 2 feet, which opened up the salon and made the galley huge. The aft berth is slightly smaller so the door folds in half to open fully. The rig is the taller high aspect version but with the heavy displacement we still need a lot of sail area for the PNW sailing. With our 120% jib, staysail and main we've been comfortable down here in Mexico. To add to the sail collection we have a nylon drifter, asymmetrical and symmetrical spinnaker. The most important factor for light wind is a super clean bottom and feathering prop!
Hi. Your boat is beautiful. We own a Texas built 1991 Valiant 40. I've been researching stoves to replace our original Broadwater and I am very interested in the Gn Espace. The cost is substantial. Do you feel that the stove is worth the expense? I watched your earlier review of the Dickinson. Thanks for that as I was considering one but didn’t realized all its shortcomings. Appreciate any feedback on your Gn Espace.

Thanks, we're excited to the re-power in May!
Such a great boat guys! Can't wait to someday see in person! Thanks for the tour and great job!
Thanks, she takes good care of us. We’ll share an anchorage soon!
Awesome boat! I just bought a Slocum 43 and have her down in Chiapas MX. Such a close design! Absolutely stunning!
That’s exciting. We definitely love Gemini. Stoked to sail across the Pacific.
We have a very similar sister ship! A slocum 43 :) 🦋⛵️
Thank you for posting.
Of course! It was exciting filming this.

Really cool boat tour! I subscribed and can’t wait to see the engine conversion!

Nice guys! Great start, great thumbnail, great intro. 💜💜💜
Thanks so much!! I thought of you when putting together the quick intro 😉

@@TwotheHorizonSailing Thank you! You are most fortunate to have found such a great layout. And thanks for the tips on light wind work.
Sweet looking boat you guys have got, any idea of the headroom in the main cabin?.
Thanks, she’s been very good to us. Headroom in the salon and through the main cabin is 6’3”.
@@TwotheHorizonSailing Thanks for that, it’s appreciated!.

Curious to know what you are installing for electric propulsion?
We installed a model from Powerflow Marine. We love it! Currently working on a video of the install.
