I think instead of chart plotters, the future of most boats will be data hubs like what Orca is doing and others. Its all about the ability to receive data from all external sensors, including radar, and then presenting that data back to the network in a format that mobile devices can grab and use.
Great video. Enjoying the videos more and more as time goes on. Do you feel like the boat size is big enough for the family plus guest coming and going?Obviously the bigger you go, the greater the cost and the possible need for crew becomes greater in weather. Looking to move up in a few years, 50 ft seems ideal. Cheers from local Southern Utah sailor!
Thank you, it has been enjoyable creating the videos and learning along the way. Hosting guests, regardless of space, has been a challenge. The kids willingly give up their rooms. Considering an Outremer 55, it offers ample living space compared to our Outremer 5x. In our experience, vessels like Lagoons, Leopards, and Fontaines at 45 feet are ideal for families but come with a trade-off in performance. Learn to sail in Utah? 😁🤣 Where exactly?
After sailing anywhere at 4 -5 knots the performance seems like the way to go. Believe it or not, New Castle reservoir 😂 Sand hallow and Quail Creek 😆 . Since then purchased a bigger boat and we’ve sailed off the California coast mostly! This was the first trip we took with our sketchy first boat… m.ruclips.net/video/jbtDPaD_KgI/видео.html
Thanks for the video! At 6:15 I see what looks like an aftermarket white sun shade cover on the STBD engine access hatch. I sm curious what brand that is and if you recommend them (pros vs cons)? Thanks.
What a nice and sincere representation of your amazing cat.
You too kind!
You guys are amazing 👍 love this boat tour ✌️
We should have thrown in your amazing done footage!

Absolutely agree, and I'm eager to see what the future holds as we navigate the vast blue seas. The possibilities with Starlink are astounding too.
Ah, so you would just do ORCA to phone and that's it? Haven't thought of that. Still have to have a H5000 from B&G for Autopilot, right?
I'm not quite familiar with the ORCA. We use the Nke autopilot that integrates seamlessly with our B&G system.

Be my pleasure!😊
There boat looks sweet.

They are just standard Lumar hatches that have been painted. They’ve been awesome!
Nice video Matt. I hope we meet again soon
That would be awesome!
Where are you guys now?
Have you raced a gunboat?
Only 1 older one.😁
An ORC 57 cat is most likely faster
I was looking at the 57, it looks awesome!!!
I would love to get humbled by one.😃
Terrible sound!
😂I could not agree more!!!
