Ashley and Ben of Nahoa spent four months in Victoria, Canada, after a 2024 that "did not go to plan," using the time for family skiing at Mount Washington and enrolling their daughter Willa in dairy-allergy immunotherapy — a treatment requiring many months of incremental milk-dose increases that has so far produced zero reactions.4:16 The central update covers the collapse of their Nahoa 55 new-build project.10:00 They had commissioned plans from a naval architect, explored building in Vietnam, and pivoted toward a production-series model with project manager Todd Rickard, who previously managed the FPB program by Steve and Linda Dashew in New Zealand.13:00 The production-series plan required design exclusivity, which they failed to negotiate from the outset; months later they discovered a nearly identical design being marketed in Vietnam, Thailand, and the Middle East under a different name, forcing them to abandon the project entirely.15:51 Ashley and Ben frame the failure around the sunk-cost fallacy and the necessity of starting over.16:57 They spent three to four months interviewing new naval architects, selected one they decline to name, and are traveling to La Grande Motte, France, for the international multihull show and to meet the new architect in person.21:30 Ben will then return to Nahoa 1.0, currently in French Polynesia, to refit and splash her.24:37 Securing design exclusivity before commissioning plans is the lesson they draw from the failed build.20:42
