Is More (Hulls) Better? | Sailing Soulianis - Ep. 109

- The jury’s still out after taking this catamaran for a sail with our friends, Jordan & Randi from @LearningtheLines.
After Kirk gets a long-awaited kiteboarding lesson from Jordan, we all hop aboard a Nautitech 40 Open for a weekend cruise out of Key West. A boisterous sail from Stock Island to Boca Grande Key leaves most of the crew green-faced, but Jordan turns the day around by delivering fresh snapper for dinner. We talk about the pros & cons of this particular catamaran, and everyone aboard agrees on its best and worst features.
Join us as we test out two hulls in the Florida Keys!
Hope you enjoy,
Lauren, Kirk & Renata

"and that's how you know you married the right one" Classic. And you're right.
Woo! That was a fun week despite the seasickness 😁Thanks for the shout!
Lauren is definitely on my level: Never waste hummus, even if it's on the floor! LOL at Kirk's response. (Wishing you three all the best on the Northern Michigan home front too!)
Hey guys. I have an N40. I and pretty much most Nautitech owners I know of love their boats. Mine handles well - but I must admit speed isn’t a selling point - though I’ve done 20knots once. Beating upwind isnt much fun either. But as for comfort especially at anchor, with all that outside space - its unbeatable. If it was a toss up between speed versus comfort - I’ll take the latter every time. Most are at anchorage or docked a lot more time than they are sailing.
Nice to see young family couples sharing some time together on and around the water.
Every time makes me miss living in the Keys. Beautiful you guys. Renata is such a cutie!
Dipping the hummus made me LOL. Yep, the right one.
Hey Guys - Been a fan for a long time and was excited to see the NO40 video, but then it started with Kitesurfing which is another passion of mine. I’ve been kitesurfing for about a year on and off and have just recently gotten to the point where I am independent. Stick with it! It’s worth it! Sorry to see that you didn’t like the O40. I just sold mine and am waiting for my O44 that comes out of the factory in Sept. They really are great boats. With the wind behind you and just the main and the jib and a nasty swell its going to be uncomfortable and you won’t be going very fast. On a reach in 20 she should easily do 11 or 12 kts and with a kite up you could be doing 15. Also the cockpit ergonomics are great imo. Standing over the rudder in the back is the best place to steer from (have you tried a fly bridge?). Calling the NO40 a “Condomaran” is really not fair, but I appreciate that you guys weren’t feeling well.
Great to see you guys... it's been a while. Bonus to see Jordan and Randi also 🥰
Love the lost in space reference!!
"Danger Will Robinson" ... I'm impressed that someone your age knows that one! Great video, thanks.
Thanks for continuing to share your adventure with us, even with the craziness that is life! :)
That ending made me laugh. There's an episode of Friends where they drop cheesecake on the floor and do the exact same thing. 😂
Excellent as always! Can't wait for your next one!
Hey great video, remember Kirk time with Renata is productive, just in a different way. Enjoy!
That was a fun adventure, great episode as always....
Thank you for the more laid-back episode.
Hi guys,nice to see you 🙂
If you want to see some speed,have a crack at a trimaran 👍
Cats certainly have some space when it’s time to relax,but I’m not a fan of the way they sail.Best wishes always,as you move forward with life🙂
Wonderful, good times except for being sick. Love the vlog :)
😄 I sooo enjoy watching you guys! 😂😍
That was a great collaboration. Nice all! "So happy in a room without a roof"! However that works. Isn't it crazy that we have to relearn simple things we knew well.. "Gotta relax"". Great line. Be well & fair winds.
20:07 That is so ME!!
The hummus bit... So hilarious and so true. The right one!
Grea t video. Thanks for sharing. I have followed you all since the beginning.
Awh....the Old Hummis Test.
For me....it was the 2 Salmon Quiche pies. That slide right out of the gimbled oven...doing a half gainer...upside down on the teak flooring.
Scrape it up...served it on half bagels. To have open faced...Quiche Bagels Delights!!🤣😅
What a refreshingly upbeat video despite the cat sail. Love the quality of your productions.
Thank you very much!
Hello...will you be sailing back to N Michigan this season? I have a slip at the Duncan Bay Marina located at the mouth of Cheboygan, MI which you are welcome to use; no charge. I will not need the slip as I will be in Colorado for the rest of the season. Beautiful location with nice clubhouse/pool. Living vicariously through your family; I miss the water.
Hummus on the soul , everybody loves it!
The hummus scene LOL
Kirk is "almost... borderline" giving Lauren a bad time for eat hummus off the floor... Im nothing but Impressed...
X 1000... and then Kirk says"and that's how you know you married the Right One"... AMEN!!!!! SMART DUDE....
Loved it Great video!!!! the hummus was LOL
Thanks!
Great intro to the Cat experience. That was two 40" hulls compared to your one 37'. But it was double the size crew you normally have.
I hope you stay with Monohaul just a little bigger with a draft still suitable for were you want to go.
That was a fine example of the very few times sailing isn't fun. Better luck next time
Loved the ending BTW
If you are self-funding a catamaran and on a budget. I found a great model to put in your short list if interested. Look at a recently refit vintage (1990s) Zatara type. That is what I purchased. I am just adding lithium and electronics to bring it to 2022 state of the art.
Thank you
Lovely video. Looking forward to progress in Michigan, if you guys keep going... Boating on Lake Michigan - TC area? ....Soulianis Ranch? +1 for Lost In Space reference. Cheers.
Multi hull….. might could. AmIright? This was a great video. Stay safe and fair winds. Interesting comments at the end of video… 🤔 stay safe plz! Fair winds.
19:56 That IS how you know you married the right one! Go Lauren!
Hey guys! I know this is a long shot but are you guys planning on going to the Annapolis Boat Show?
I got into kiteboarding last season, I still suck at it but I've been thinking about it all summer and researching all the spots I can go to when we get back out. You'll be sucked in!
Right on!
It doesn't matter if you suck at it, what really matters is if you had fun, if its fun keep doing it 👍🏼
I started watching SS for the views and vicarious thrills of watching these nice people get a boat and go cool places. Finally getting to the Bahamas was great... my favorite part. I even enjoyed watching the repairs and maintenance of the boat as I am a handy and creative carpenter and wannabee engineer. Then the hurricane devastated the Bahamas, so you never went back there. You ended up spending lots of time in Florida. Then the baby came along, and afterwards more time in Florida. No sailing to the Mediterranean, darn! Instead of adventures in sailing, SS has become "Living on the water in Florida". It's nice. I'd love to go somewhere tropical... after I see more of Europe. I'd love to drive to Key West. But... it is Florida, and Florida kinda sucks. So I'm glad you guys have this awesome life of being on a perpetual vacation... if only we could all figure out how to do that, and raise a kid, and buy land in the country... but I'm kinda done with watching yet another video of you guys tooling around the keys. And yeah, envy comes into play. My lovely GF and I have a nice life, but we're kinda stuck with not being able to adventure much lately, and the "adventures in the Keys" just doesn't do it for me anymore. Especially with a 20 minute video every, like, so often you lose the momentum. And why Paytreon-ize you for more of the same? I have subscribed, and if you ever get the hell out of Florida I may check you out again. So... just my two cents. Carry on. Cheerio!
Beautiful water, we flew over the Marquesas from Key West to Dry Tortugas with Key West Seaplane Adventures, incredible scenery! (Oh, and I officially volunteer to scrub the bottom anytime.) #FloorHummus
Would love to fly over the Keys, or The Bahamas...😍
Careful, Brian, might just take you up on that! #leastfavoritejob
This episode was so super pride month, starving for content much
More family more hulls!
We all used to 'hasslehoff' as kids,, and five second rule on anything dry or grilled for sure.. At least you weren't hammered drunk too😜. Cheers, ed
“Hasselhoff!” Lol completely missed the reference the first read. That’s hilarious just remembered that video. Blast from the past.
Like your camera work...well shot and colours ..are they natural or enhanced ? most cameras do not film in natural colour ISO setting..
Goodtimes ~
You don't have to ask me if more hulls are better! 😎
Hi!
You have some misspels on your website (engine is "quite" instead of quiet and "your interested" instead of you're on top of other mistakes. You should probably check and fix it sometime
Thanks for pointing them out! Where exactly did you see those misspellings?
@@SailingSoulianis "Thoughts on the Spirit 1.0 Electric Outboard" - "(...)silently glide past! And it’s so quite. We are in total ninja-mode(...)" - quiet, not quite.
"Boat buying dashboard" - "Log inventory of boats that your interested in purchasing" - you're interested
Another great video .No to cats.
If you need more space buy a modern big fat beam monohull.
👍⛵🎣🌊💯
👍🎣🌊⛵💯
👍👍👍
Check out Plucky's video on cat design and performance , on sailing into freedom. Good eye opener on why so many cats are slow.
Just watched maverick. You sound like him
I know that you are behind in the timing of your videos but to rub it in about a cold front...we haven't had one in fl since February..heat index here in ft myers is about 107...
And she also said it was first time in the water for _that_ year. W/e year that was. I would guess they are year n half behind, which would make it around Feb of 2021.
hear the one about the water baby????
got taken by a Dingy....lol
P.S lm from Down Under.....
15:24 So tell us what you really think… I’m guessing that a Nautitech 40open isn’t really in your plans if you’re planning to do more sailing than sitting at anchor.
Yep, you married the right one.
Kirk, there is no such thing as a "cold front" in Florida, it is a "reduced summer temp".
😂
Pfft w/e. And is that like there is no such thing as fireplaces in homes either? LOL.
😊👍👍❤
Cruising cats are not for speed, they're for space and comfort in flat conditions, L&K. Needs a tri for performance, mono for solidity. You'll stick with Soulianis?
Sorry you had a bad first sail on a cat. Conditions you described sounds like it would be horrible mono or cat. Been on but haven’t sailed the N40 Open but it seemed like a tight space. You need a little more practice. Our N542 sails like a witch. :-)
Wingfoiling is the answer!
I'm super interested in getting a foil/wing. The problem is they keep inventing new sports, faster than I can save the money to get the new/next greatest thing!
@@SailingSoulianis Maybe but it is money well spent. Since it's a sport that you can do from any location. Small beach, off the back of the boat etc. no lines to tangle or get tangling in. No kitemares! So many kiters are now switching to winging because of it! Much safer for us dad's! It's a lot of fun as it combines all the water sports into one.
I know a capable water sport guy that spent 2 years to figure it out. Be ready for exhausting long learning curve.
This must have been filmed about a foot of hair and one child ago...🤣
It was hard to tell from the video, because we never looked back from the bow, but if this cat is like so many, it has a small jib sheet traveler that doesn't come anywhere close to getting to the rail, so, unless you are on the wind, the leach of the sail is always hooked and acts like a break, backwinding the main, so you can't let the main out as far as it would normally be to be efficient. My first sail in a monohull in company with a trimaran was no contest at all. I had a modified full keel, short waterlined, Alberg 30, comparatively slow to my next boat, a Morgan Nelson/Marek 36, and we went from St. Augustine offshore, in winds in the high teens, to Ponce Inlet and then up to Daytona in 9 hours. The trimaran got in about 4 hours later. That was in 1979, and I have sailed with multihulls that were designed for cruising and multihulls, like the F-27, that were built for speed. On no occasion did either ever go as fast, nor as close to the wind as the boats that I was on. The F-27 was fantastically fast off the wind, but had no really cruising potential. Load them up with provisions, water and fuel, and the fast ones turn into the slow ones. By the way, in one race, we got hit by a severe thunderstorm and the F-27 flipped and was found 5 days later with the dehydrated crew sitting on the upside down hull off of St. Augustine in the Gulf Stream. If flipped off Canaveral, 100 miles south. I was in a Hunter 28.5 at that time, and we cruised right through the storms with a partially furled genoa and a dowsed main, doing 7-8 kts for about 2 hours before the glass off after the storm system passed.
And, like the commenter a few comments down, when they go over, they stay over, and it takes no time for them to flip. Certainly not enough time to drop the sails.
I really enjoy your videos and your constant learning about yourselves and your willingness to share it. Keep it up.
You think you're old ? > Ha , I was born in '53 and I would try this . But not Renata , my kid days are done :) There much better cats out there than that one - Seawind for example .
"1st time in the water this year"...just how old is this video?
that's definitely how you know you married the right one.
:-)
You can't beat a cat at anchorage
ARE more better ?
The cat is the way to go for all the extra living space it has to offer. On the hook the majority of the time, equals comfort.
At least as long as the two half’s stay connected, something that seem to be a “small” issue
No way I would want a cat. Starting with 37', there just isn't that much too little space in a monohaul. By 39-42' , all problems solved. The key is keeping the draft suitable for where you'll be sailing.
Moral of this story, so long as you are not trying to sail that sailing cat, it is a great boat .....
Smh!
Pretty much 🤷🏻♀️
A year behind. Hard to get excited as per usual
What difference does the filmed day make on the experience of enjoying the video? They are busy with things and produce a video for us every 2-4 weeks. I would say exceptional how unique and self standing each episode is. Many stations are, "We were anchored there, now we sail there and anchor there...."
Shouldn’t that be are more (hulls)? You also need to define better and state context.
You can sit on the side lines or jump in . Being a dad is awesome but how can you teach her if you don't know. Just saying,
This is someone's sitting on the sideline because I have to,
Capsize and turn over, or pitchpole etc etc, IT STAYS TURNED OVER, game over, with a conventional hull in bad weather when she is battened down, she will right herself like a weighted fish float. We all know this so if you want to sacrifice you and yours for a bit of speed , be aware, there is no coming back.
So when did you even get the cat? I've followed all 109 episodes. Would I have to pay for that? How frustrating. Okay. I'm done.
James, we joined our friends on a cat for a weekend of fun sailing. You haven’t missed anything.
RV+ Pontoon= Catamaran…
Just saying…
Couldn’t say it better
