YachtNot Journal · By Peter van Wyk
What we want from life aboard. What we still need to learn. And the decisions that change as we work through it. This is where I keep the thinking behind the YachtNot journey.
The story so far
The build · Entry 02
We have not chosen our yacht yet. But I know what I want from its technology: information I can trust, control that stays aboard, and an experience our family can actually use.
Why I am building GlassBridge, what it can do today, and what comes next.
The search · Entry 01
Power or sail? One hull or two? A flybridge, a coupe, an explorer-style yacht?
We are starting with the way our family wants to live aboard, then asking which boats deserve a closer look.
Pick a question
These links take you into our starting brief. We will return to each question as we have something useful to add: a clearer requirement, a real comparison or a reason to change our minds.
Privacy, meals, wet gear, storage and the ordinary things a layout has to get right.
Pace, handling, learning and how much of the day we want to spend underway.
Flybridge, coupe or explorer style: look beyond the label to the day aboard.
Planing, semi-displacement and displacement are questions to investigate, not a verdict.
The work, support and ongoing costs beyond the purchase price.
