Cosa tratta questo video
Josh and Phoebe, the couple behind the YouTube channel New Kids on the Dock, bought a 58-foot Kelsail-design catamaran at public auction on the Gold Coast, Australia — an unfinished hull that had sat at the boatworks for nearly a decade.0:47 Storage costs ran roughly $5,000 a month on the hard stand, so getting it afloat was the first priority.1:04 The boat replaces their Adams 35, a 10-meter steel monohull they had sailed up the East Coast twice and out to Lord Howe Island.0:24 Josh and Phoebe describe the purchase as impulsive — they had 24 hours to inspect before the auction — and Josh admits he considered the decision a potential catastrophe during the delivery passage north.5:33 Their previous refit, two years on the hard stand with Innerbloom, nearly ended their relationship; that experience shapes how they now manage working and living together on a project boat.9:19 Power planning is well advanced: two 75-hp Volvos, two 7.5 kW 48-volt batteries (15 kW total storage), a 70 kW inverter, a large MPPT controller, and a solar array yet to be specified.12:17 Interior layout is unresolved beyond galley to starboard and sink to port.10:33 The Adams 35 is now for sale.16:08 The Kimberley is their top sailing destination once the cat is ready.14:16
