Dick is an absolute genius when it comes to his design and reasoning behind what a Bluewater sailboat should be! So happy for both of you being able to enjoy some well deserved time on board the boat😀
Happy, happy people, love it. Word of caution though, be gentle when you get home as Milly will be deeply hurt if you keep banging on about how wonderful the Kraken is!
I want one too! The best selling point Kraken has is the excitement the two of you have. Being experienced sailors and yet so excited about this sailing yacht tells me a lot. This plus the stories and the robustness of the hull sold me. I don't know how to sail but I would buy this boat and hire someone to teach me. Teach me on my own forever yacht. I love it. Thank you, all of you, and be safe.
You two bring smiles! Life is full of choices based on “what important”! Many don’t do a good job in those choices, some do?! Hope, my Daughter makes Beautiful choices! Perhaps like this young couple!
I think one of the crowning jewels of humanity is that we build sailboats, they are so beautiful and gracious in almost any form but this one.. it's a gorgeous piece of art isn't it?
I have listened to all your interviews and I just finished the article in Ocean Sailor magazine. What an outstanding article about you guys. Your video's are always great especially when the 'willowy redhead' thumps her head.
This beauty goes like the clappers in just a breath of wind. What a finely created vessel. Designed to be the safest Bluewater vessel for its size. Yours for one and a half mill.
The power of joined up thinking. If it needs doing use a bit of common sense but if it doesn’t, don’t do it just because it looks pretty. I love it. All the best. Mike in Sheffield.
As someone whose dabbled in videography, I’m so impressed with you two. Great camerawork, editing, storytelling, sound, music. Top notch. Keep up the great work.
If Adam is the proverbial kid in the candy store, Khiara is the kid dragging the parent into the classroom exclaiming "See what I learned today!". Keep up the great videos and above all STAY SAFE! ⛵❤️😷
You guys are great! The real deal! Sorry, I didn't say a kind hello to you when I was in Ponta Degado with Ryan and Sophie. I simply did not know that you were there exactly at the same time. Your 'boat shake down' presentation was exciting to watch as if it was watching a little child learning to walk for the first time. Kraken yachts are on my radar now. Thank you again.
Really jealous. Enjoyed this episode so much it was over too quickly. Can't wait to see your next adventure. Hope Milly is doing well while you are both out gallivanting!
@@SailingMillennialFalcon That’s correct. You can leave it on the hard or at low tide. Plus, it’s got a covered nav station, helm/cockpit for rough weather and a workstation down by the engine. Tons of floor storage. Plus, it’s extremely luxurious. 300k for 31’ 400k for 35’ 600k for 41’

Khiara you sure are scrutinizing things too, the unencumbered flat deck that is so inviting, that is one thing I also look for over the master cabin on center cock pits. That sure is ingenious having the fueling caps raised, brilliant ..... Ace how you plugged Precision Khiara, kinda partial to them myself since they are on the Island where I grew up .... it seems like you both have more than the preverbal "one foot itus" at this stage .... if you had that gem of a SV you would be doing laps around the Atlantic .... cannot go without commenting on Adam driving and attaining 11 knots .. chuckling .... thx for sharing ... and as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ...
That is a beautiful yacht. I am amazed at how fast she is. And you two were like kids in a candy shop. Your excitement about this yacht is infectious. I was smiling just as much as you guys just watching the video.
I have really enjoyed Millennial's interaction with Kraken. I have fallen for this 50 footer, she is a real beauty. I honestly have never seen a boat that has everything but I believe this is close. I am going to get on one and find out first hand. I just can't get this boat out of my mind. I just know what it would be like to cruise with her. Love these posts , well done.
What a fantastic episode. You are very lucky Captain Dick had you along, althought it is good publicity for Kraken! You clearly need to save lots of Aussie dollars till you get one!!!!!!
This is so amazing omg I’m just as excited as you guys are. I can’t imagine actually being there on the boat. Thank you all so much for making this happen and sharing this with all of us. Timmy
I know that the Kraken 50 is modern and has the best of everything and is a beautiful boat. Having said that, your boat Mili has much prettier lines, better character and much more personality than the Kraken. I guess I am just old fashioned as I feel the same about motorcycles and cars also.I am glad you had fun though.
Plus: Going _really fast_ with the old crap no one believes it could do any of it, be it a motorcycle, a vintage passenger car (Alfa's Giulia comes to mind) or be it an elder sailing yacht like Mrs Mildred "Mili" Falcon, will, at the end of the day still bring much much more fun and respect and satisfaction than going average speeds with an average up-to-date vehicle or vessel. You need excellent seamanship plus that certain little defiance of death to let Mrs Mildred Falcon fly like a Dragon-mistress in heat. While You need just particularly more green bucks than other people to get aboard Your own Kraken 50. Yes, probably nice, but utterly boring. Go racing in something not meant to race, and You will have a ball all day and all night long, for many, many months and years to come. Took me a while to recognize, but when I won my first regatta aboard a nearly hundred year old wooden Dinghi with wooden mast and stained cotton sails in between a lot of modern shiny Tupperwarez with alu rig and aramid foils for sails by simply not reefing at all because I knew how I rebuilt my mast was the key moment to rid myself of all pretentious high performance gear or boats. Most fun is doing things no one would try aboard a proper boat Yourself aboard utter junk.
@@manfredschmalbach9023 The owner of Kraken started it because no current makers were up to his safety standards for blue water, especially regarding the keel and rudder. But he also says that if you go back so some older boats, 30 years old or so, you can get the integrated keels and protected rudder he requires for safety. He just wanted it in a newer package with updated amenities is why he started Kraken. So you can find the safety he offers without being rich. You just have to be willing, as you said, to forego a lot of the modern gadgets and play pretties.
@@srcastic8764 Well, I am (was, retired now, sailing more ;-) a boatbuilder by profession. Thanks for the info anyway. Didn't know that deeply and detailed about Kraken.
@@manfredschmalbach9023 I only knew it because I saw it in a video of an interview with him a couple of days ago. I’m certainly no expert. VERY far from it! LOL.
I think you have done a masterful job of shooting and editing this video. The accompanying music is perfect. Well done. The boat, by the way, is marvelous.
Even with a “Washboard Sea Condition” the Kraken took the waves very smoothly! Really like the Solent rigging system. Okay Adam, stop smiling 😜 Maybe when you install your new Dakota Lithium Batteries in “Millie” you will get that smile back again!
Even if it were free I could not afford it. Darn good looking boat the future owners are lucky that such dedicated sailors are checking her out and you got to learn while doing it.

Couldn’t agree more!

Haha, I think it’a our inner child coming out! It is a great boat, very easy to get excited about! 😆
Have you asked anyone to give you one
You could use another sponsor
You seem to have a cheery attitude but you are really happy on this boat
Lucky bastards, so jealous, a delight to watch.
loved this episode.... love your enthusiasm as you share your excitement as you discover these amazing yachts
You two bring smiles! Life is full of choices based on “what important”! Many don’t do a good job in those choices, some do?!
Hope, my Daughter makes Beautiful choices! Perhaps like this young couple!
Just fantastic! I would watch Khiara brush her teeth for 20 minutes, any day. The boat is amazing too
Your excitement is contagious. Love seeing people enjoying life to the fullest. :)
That solent rig with butterfly setup looks awesome.
I think one of the crowning jewels of humanity is that we build sailboats, they are so beautiful and gracious in almost any form but this one.. it's a gorgeous piece of art isn't it?
"Jewels of Humanity"... Nice. Perhaps a song title someday? ; )
Sounds like an epic boat name to me!!! Wow 🤩
I have listened to all your interviews and I just finished the article in Ocean Sailor magazine. What an outstanding article about you guys. Your video's are always great especially when the 'willowy redhead' thumps her head.
It's always nice to see enthusiasm
Khiara , elegant, beautiful, classy, this boat suits here perfectly.
I am blown away at how much thought Dick has put into everything. The only other manufacturer I've been this impressed with is Sirius.

Thanks Barbara! I’m glad you enjoy. Hope you guys are well 😄
Such a fun vid! Wish I was there! Need to find a "poor man's Kracken". Thanks so much!

Sure wish they made one affordable for the average sailors. Very well designed boat. The best hands down. Jim Rodgers
Kraken and the team are surely bringing big smiles on all the mariners. Thanks for sharing.
