Power or sail?

Before we compare particular yachts, we need to work out what life aboard should look like for our family.

A flybridge, a coupe, an explorer-style yacht or a sailing boat could take us in different directions. We will start with those questions, the way we want to travel and the day-to-day reality of owning a boat.

The first full episode is being prepared. In the meantime, read the starting brief and follow the channel for the release.

What we want to work through.

This is the direction for the opening episode. Chapters and timings will be added when the video is published.

    Power or sail?

    The type of experience we want, the skills involved and the options still open.

    Space, shelter and layout

    Flybridge, coupe, explorer style, monohull or catamaran: what could work for us?

    The pace of the journey

    Planing, semi-displacement or displacement—and why speed is only part of the question.

  5. 05

    Life aboard and the real costs

    Comfort, maintenance, berthing and the work that comes with owning a yacht.

  6. 06

    The technology alongside it

What changed
your mind?

Did you start with one kind of boat and end up with another? What mattered to your family once you spent real time aboard?

We would like to hear the practical things: an awkward galley, a favourite anchorage, handling in a marina, or the cabin layout that finally made sense.
