- An exciting one today! The work on the hard is done and it's time for the boat to head back into the pond and then on to its final day of sea trials. You'll get to see the results of all HH's hard work come together and a pretty great day out sailing. Hope you enjoy!
Congratulations on the final season trial and thank you for bringing us along on your five year journey. It has been amazing! I am thoroughly impressed with HH and M&M for their design and build of this yacht.
Thank you for the comment. It has really been a dream team of engineering.
Yay for a Jamie sighting!!
Thank you, I try and sneak her in there every once in a while.
coming from Wynns.....was looking for someone with a boat that's this size that will show me how it is lived on and reaction to weather. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Huge congratulations! God bless the Crazy Love and all who sail in her. Good winds and fair seas.
Thank you so much!
Unbelievable ❤ vessel.
Thank you for the comment!
The most beautiful Cat I’ve ever seen. Stunning in every way!
Wow, thank you!
That was an awesome video! Thanks
Thank you for the comment.
Thank you for the comment.
Thanks for another great video Sean!! Glad to see Jamie on the boat. Also enjoyed the collaboration with the Wynn’s.
Our pleasure!
Great!!! That was a nice sea trials on your lov uhh boat with your love😅..but..only detail that maybe helps..no handrails with the stair at 09:45 (and 10.50)?
I saw your '2nd splash', my tiny brains read it as 'tuned'.
And I immediately knew I needed a 'tuned splash'!
Wow, happy the tweaks worked. 12 knot speed in 15 knot wind is admirable for a huge, comfortable yacht with a high superstructure like Crazy Love. I wonder if there will be some sadness now that the long, complex design/build process is over or if you are thrilled it is over and you can start voyaging?
Yes and no. We are currently sitting at anchorage outside the factory unable to leave china. We are just waiting on paperwork. It does not feel like this process is "over" yet, so I will keep updating on the channel.
I love your boat mate
It's a thing of beauty
Thank you for the comment.
Congratulations on the christening of your new HH88, Crazy Love, long may she sail.
Thank you!
Congratulations on your official launch. Stunning
It is coming together quite well at this time, thank you for the comment.
Waaaaah ! what a boat !! just subscribed and looking forward to the episodes ahead. FAIR WINDS !
Thank you much! Will do.
Another cool one, really looking forward to you releasing more of the build episodes and of course future days at sea.
Thank you for the comment. We are well behind in the "build" episodes, but we have a lot more to come.
Good video, thank you. Looking forward to ya’ll getting back to freedom so you can really explore the capabilities of the boat.
Us too, thank you for the comment!
Not only is she a beautiful high performance yacht, you come across as a llikeable chap.
thank you for the comment.
You have been waiting a long time! She looks so worth it! Congratulations 🎉🍾🥂
Thank you for the comment. It is really coming together now!
Thanks for sharing. What a beautiful vessel. Bon voyage
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations to you and HH! What an amazing achievement!
Thanks so much!
I still can't believe how big she is. Can't wait to see the videos of y'all having fun.
Will do, thank you for the comment.
Wow. May your journey be as wonderful as your yacht
I hope so too!
Thanks for the videos very good content, very educational. thanks to the winds for turning me on to your Channel.
Glad to hear it!
I am so happy Jamie is there to see your both hard work a lot of planing. Sorry if I get your name spelling wrong Shaun. Your time is so valuable as mine isn’t less then also, and yet you share your time as I enjoy your content. Thank you for sharing your journey. It’s for us all to master. Happy to see the performance. That’s great planning.
Thank you for the comment.
With the lighting, the fish will come on their own and they will all want to be the first to get into the frying pan :-))
looking forward to that!
Glad to see her floating again.
Thank you, we are too!
Sean, another fantastic video!! Her light air performance is incredible ...truly mind boggling that this 88ft beheomoth with jetski, jacuzzi multiple cinemas, resturant grade galley and all the trimmings is achieving these boat speeds!
That 22kt theoretical maximum should surely be crept up on at least once... for science 😂
I know this is not a lifestyle channel and won't ever be, but the one takeaway I have from the Wynns glimpse of life aboard Crazy Love is that there are some incredible people working on the project who are passionate knowledgeable and also pretty personable! I Understand sea trials are "work" and everyone has a job to do but i would love to see you share some of the candid moments aboard and if possible allow the viewers to see the friendships and relationships that you have made along the journey.
New favorite comment! Please email sketch to sea and I would be happy to share some of these candid moments.
Congrats on one beautiful very expensive vessel. Take good care of her and she will take care of you.
That's the plan!
Reshaping of the foils ? Depth , Length ,Tips , Cord ? Great speed to wind ratio & with that self tacker in higher winds > Gonna be a blast .
Principally we reshaped the trailing edges of the keels. Previously they were 10mm flat, and now they go to 1mm
@@sketchtosea3750 Hmm 10mm would set up a vortex slow the flow, Makes seance .
Enjoy watching updates!
Thank you for the comment!
Awesome boat, Congrats to all!
Thank you!
She is a beautiful and those lights wow awesome looking an just set her off at night. Everyone who sees her out there will be jealous and most of all want a first hand tour.
Thank you for the comment, and watching to the end!
What a beauty of a vessel love it!
We agree!
We had a faring on the keel of an IMOCA but had to cut if off due to vibration and noise, check this out with your wing faring. G
Thank you for the comment. No noise or vibration, just optimized performance
Great! We had this foil on the lower part of the keel and we tried to work on the faring. Just ahead of start of Vendee Globe race we had to just cut if off altogether. Great project and thank you for sharing! Cannot wait to see it sail in a breeze! Dad was a shipwright grown up around yachts.@@sketchtosea3750
I might be getting ahead of myself here, and I just stumbled upon your chan too.. I am considering a boat as my land days seem to have faded with age. I cannot decide between mono or Cat, but I do like the idea of a cat than can run on sails meaning lower running costs. I looked at boats like Sunreef but their sail speed is dismal. There are other boats that achieved speed at the cost of a good interior, and then there are issues like performance in bad weather (rather common). Id love to see the full specs, fuel capacity, a tour and description of the interior and fittings, material use, how you plan to avoid things like Mold, Black water or fuel smell, managing sails in bad weather without being in the bad weather.. as well as the minimum crew needed to manage this beautiful looking boat. One thing I have been asking around of late to cat owners is this: Can you ground your cat during low tide without damaging it ? Sunreef is a hard no. Others... they are a soft NO using too many excuses. This for me is important because where I live now (I might call this home base) is very tidal.. up to 6 meters. Being able to beach the boat would be amazing, as well as knowing it was an option for repairs. What about the Daggerboards ? Do they retract ? Rudder ? How are the props positioned ? I have so many questions.
Hi Brett, Thank you for the comment. A lot of these items i have covered in other videos. Please take some time and review. I am happy to answer any additional questions that you may have. Please send me an email and I will do my best to get back to you.
@@sketchtosea3750 Then just let @Natustyles do a tour of your boat. I saw the list of your vids and watched one 45 minute one on the electricals. Sorry but that is unreasonable. Have you ever watched Nautstyles or their main chan Nautiguys ? That is how you do it. Short efficient, gives you the info you need. No wasted time. I have no interest in watching 9 hours of video to get that information.
Been following you for a few episodes now, just subscribed 👍 Congrats buddy 💪💪💪
Thank you, very much appreciated.
Fantastic boat, and great Vlog again👍Are you a capitan your self , or are you planing to have a capitan/crew onboard?
Yes, I have no formal certification, but have been driving boats my entire life. We do have a full crew. Check out this video ruclips.net/video/3P7FXm9GmYY/видео.html
Just wondered why you didn’t have a water line stripe applied. Like a white strip a few inches above the copper coat. Boat looks great.
In all the renderings, it just didn't look great.
Hi Sean- I heard on the Wynn's channel you were going to use the boat for charters. Any estimate of when that might be a possibility and where homeport might be?
Thank you for the question. We are a cayman flagged vessel that will move globally. We have a shipping container that we move with us. As far as charters go, we will be in the med for 2024. We want to see the americas cup.
Beautiful dream yacht. Are you planning on sailing on it back to the Caribbean?
Eventually, we will get there. Hope to be in the med for spring.
The newly shaped foils don't get the copper undercoat? Another great video.
They did, you can see the different color. It has all been sanded back accordingly. The patches are where it has been re applied.
It's an awesome cat
Thank you for the comment!
waiting for take possession day and the sail out of china!
So are we!
12 knots I would be very happy
We are very happy, my only reservation is we have not fully loaded the boat yet. Performance wise, we would like to see 17knots in 22 of wind.
When you tacked were the engines on? I noticed that you didn't have to backwind the inner forestay in order to push the bow around. Maybe at slower speeds you will have to? I had a catamaran and I used to have to keep the headsail cleated in order to get the nose around, not the case with this size vessel?
Good point, not the case with a boat this size, in general the momentum will carry it through the tack/gybe.
Were or how is this boat going to be hauled out again in the future? Seems to me that your choices are going to be quite limited.
They are, we have anticipated this. Lots of structural, behind the scenes items here that allow us to haul out out in very different circumstances.
What would be the today's cost of this beautiful yacht?
I’ve watched all your episodes and even for someone that doesn’t understand anything about sailing that’s a very impressive project/boat.
Would it be possible for you to elaborate, for the newbies like me, what are the main technical diferences between your boat and what’s been called a “condomaran”?
Thank you for the comment, absolutely will do.
Why did the keel changed add 1/2 knot? Intuitively, I would think that sail changes would increase power and that keel improves tracking.
Good question. Previously it was 10mm flat, now it tails to 1mm on both horizontal and vertical surfaces
One more question. How come 2 to 1 with blocks on the solent jib. Those blocks flapping around when the sail was rolled prior to the tack didn’t look great? Looking forward to some real sailing videos and handling the ocean waves.
Acknowledged, during the sea trials process these are all firsts. This is the point of trials. We are developing the protocols as we go.
Congratulations. Will you document your travels once you take full possession and get underway?
We will. It will always be about the performance/systems onboard. We are not a lifestyle channel
@@sketchtosea3750 Great. That’s what we want to see. We’ve seen enough swimming pigs episodes.
Amazing. Sustained 12 knots in 15 knots of wind is enviable performance. One of the headaches on a lot of catamarans when using a lazy jack system to guide the main down is that when raising the main sail, it is common to catch the battens on the lazy jack system even when headed up wind with a loosened mainsheet. I noticed your boom seems to have the lazy jacks attached to points more laterally than I have seen on some other boats. Was this something you focused on? What type of boom and lazy jack system are you using?
Thank you for the comment. It is very traditional as far as the lazy jacks go. We decided to use a "hay rack" style boom for ease of use as opposed to a park avenue. This comes with a fully custom sail bag and a whole bunch of details accordingly. Clearly you watched to the end, thank you!
@@sketchtosea3750 do you happen to have the make of that boom handy? Would like to take a further look at it. Thanks in advance.
This was made at marestrom
Nice work.
How tall is your rig?
👍🏼🇦🇺🇰🇾
35 meters.
Why is the prop offset from the rutter and not directly behind the rutter?
Thank you for the question. We are a shaft driven vessel. In order to install/replace the drive shafts they need to be able to pass the rudders.
Do you plan on having a crew 24/7 365? or only when out on rental?
Yes, we do have crew. Currently 3 when on charter it will be 4.
Why are there patchy spots on the lower hull?
that is fresh copper coat vs previously applied.
Why isn't the whole boat red on the bottom?
We apply antifouling so we do not get a lot of growth under the waterline.
