What an incredible adventure. Watch out for pirates, seriously, and pack plenty of thermals & something to barter.

Well the work is cut out for the crew at the moment we stripped the hull bare .So we will be rebuilding it and heading to Hong Kong for a refit .

Everyone says watch out for pirates we thought about taking guns but it's all about being prepared .I have had long discussions on piracy and how to deal with it .The best way is to try avoid the area's that have them but its a risk worth taking .I want to do a few vids on the rebuild and trials that the sea may hold .Even thought of doing a parody on flat earthers like holding a ruler on the sea and what not .I was very lucky to meet the person I'm sailing with .I am doing this for the experiance and to get my experiance up as will be buying my own yacht when I return .We will be heading to Hong kong then Thailand then the idian ocean to africa and then Cape Horn .My friend Brian from sv Delos has made a youtube video series (shamless plug for my mate!!!) so check out his channel .If you do want to come join us will be posting our journey and its not expensive just food and fuel and booze

What is the hull made of? I have heard that steel hull yachts are good as an offensive weapon and resist gunshot fairly well, & would be an easy repair from a gunshot wound.

I actually heard a story of a yacht convoy that got hit by pirates and they used the steel hull to charge the pirates, it left the pirates boat in 2 pieces sinking in the ocean. This was after the coastguard declined to get involved.

If I didn't have a young family to take care of I would be totally down for some more ocean adventures.
