What this video covers

Connor and Kelly, a family of four formerly from Idaho, sold their 2002 62-foot Leopard catamaran after nine months and 4,000 nautical miles of cruising.5:20 The family transitioned to full-time sailing to prioritize togetherness and accommodate their son’s needs after discovering he is highly functioning autistic.4:13 During their ownership, they realized the 62-foot vessel offered excessive space, including five heads and six televisions, which increased maintenance demands and cleaning time.12:31 They now seek a simpler, more efficient catamaran under 50 feet with three to four cabins, capable of being single-handed for blue-water passages.8:24 The sale concluded at Exquisite Marina, where the family finalized documentation and removed the BVI flag.9:00 They plan to purchase a new vessel by May or June to resume sailing before the hurricane season.16:36
