Secret update from a secret (unsuccessful) boat inspection trip ;)
🕑 Added 2025-08-19 11:55:18 +0000 UTCHere's something new, we're actually considering changing boats for some future projects. Watch the video for the scoop!
EDIT: I'm aware I made a cheeky request to send information about any interesting boats for sale, but I didn't mention what we're looking for! And some of you asked about this, so i'll include it here.
We're looking for something slightly bigger than Lumi. it has to be aluminum and built at least to normal cruising boat sturdiness (so no aluminum racing boats). Has to be insulated at least to some standard. And it should be something that can be handled shorthanded. And then there's the normal cruising boat criteria; it should have a good amount of storage, good tankage, protected cockpit or a watch-keeping spot etc.
We're open to any keel configuration, sail configuration, monohull/catamaran...
We're not looking for a huge refit project unless it's something really extra special. We did that with Lumi and we're still recovering ;)
Of course we have our "ideal boat" in mind, and maybe I'll make a future video about that, but lack the budget so it's not realistic anyway
It's going to be extremely hard to beat what we currently have with Lumi.. She's a great boat that we've already tailored to our needs.. But if you have any suggestions feel free to shoot them our way, it's always fun looking at boats!

There's a Garcia 52 in Chile that's available. Only 1.4M Euro! What's your price range?

Hi, I'm fairly sure that you are aware of S/V Delos is building a somewhat custom aluminum ocean cruiser with cold climate capability. They're building it in Brisbane, Australia, so it's a bit out of your way unless you want a shortcut to get to Antarctica and perhaps Patagonia. They were asking for other interested people and their prices started at 300 000$ but if that is USD or Aussi $ I wouldn't know. I thought I should mention it at least, just in case you didn't know. Good luck with shopping for your next home. All my best to Sohvi and Nova. Yours, Ann
