What this video covers
Colin and Jamie of the channel Sailing Parlay Revival are transitioning from their current fiberglass Lagoon 450 to a custom-designed 60-foot aluminum catamaran.▶ 0:07 The new vessel, designed by Roger Hill, prioritizes redundancy, accessibility, and long-term durability for high-latitude sailing, including potential Antarctic expeditions.▶ 0:56 Key design features include retractable daggerboards with breakaway tips, beaching skegs, shaft drives, and full-height, walk-around engine rooms with integrated workshops.▶ 8:35 The layout incorporates a flybridge, a full DC air conditioning system, and a tender lift capable of handling a large dinghy.▶ 9:16 The project requires a specialized build site with a 7-meter-high shed and a team of expert welders.▶ 1:18 The owners intend to participate in the construction process while seeking a location that supports a healthy lifestyle, specifically proximity to surfing.▶ 1:12 The transition stems from chronic structural issues experienced with their current fiberglass boat, including bulkhead failures and osmosis, which necessitated extensive repairs during their circumnavigation.▶ 3:06
