Qué cubre este vídeo

Ben and Ashley spent eleven years refining their requirements for an offshore vessel after sailing one and a half times around the planet on Nahoa.5:40 Their experience revealed persistent design flaws that hindered safety and efficiency during long passages, such as inaccessible storage, poorly positioned helm stations, and complex line management that became unmanageable during rough weather or fatigue.0:41 Maintenance challenges, including engine failures caused by inaccessible diesel tanks and severe interior condensation in colder climates like Cape Town, highlighted the need for better insulation and improved service access.1:27 The couple’s perspective shifted further as their family grew, forcing a more honest assessment of the boat’s capabilities and the safety of those aboard.4:22 After crossing the Indian Ocean between March 2022 and February 2023, they concluded that no existing production boat met their specific needs for long-term, family-oriented offshore cruising.4:13 They decided to design a custom vessel to address these accumulated technical and ergonomic shortcomings.5:33
