Hva denne videoen dekker
Fran and Damián, a Chilean couple with no prior sailing experience, bought a used sailboat in the Caribbean after deciding to leave their jobs in Mallorca, Spain, and sail the Caribbean. Their path began when Damián spent roughly two years working as a deckhand on megayachts, then Fran joined him in the south of France. After three years working together in Mallorca, Fran proposed buying a sailboat.4:07 Before purchasing, both completed the PER (Patrón de Embarcación de Recreo) sailing license with Vela Mallorca, logging 16 hours of motor practice and 16 hours of sail training.6:57 They targeted a 40–44-foot monohull built after 2000, with three cabins and two heads.11:10 The boat appeared on Facebook; Damián flew to Guadeloupe within two days, inspected it with the seller Gerardo, and signed the purchase contract before a notary in under a week, paying a 10% deposit upfront.9:20 Blue Prince is a 2007 model, roughly 12 meters, with only three previous owners — the first kept it for 17 years, the second for 15 months — and was never used as a charter boat.13:29 The couple chose the Caribbean over the Mediterranean because Caribbean sailing conditions are favorable in winter.10:34
