    HI Simon & Kim,
    Like you, we have a saga to tell in regards to Coppercoat. I just published our 4-year experience complete with videos, photos, and test results. Perhaps you can add the link as another resource for your readers.

    Hello Kim, Simon, and Sienna,

    I’ve nothing to say apart from the fact that I’ve been watching your 2014 early YouTube videos and I am most impressed with what you’ve done.
    Something you may not realise, but those early videos are the only ones I’ve seen where the very first steps to becoming a liveaboard are vlogged, and I will be showing them to my wife. I am trying to gradually ease her into the idea of leaving London, for good!

    Thank you again, I think your channel is great, and hope you are all well.

    Alan

    Hi guys,
    Another great video, this one about St. Martin, very well done and fun to watch. You surely show there’s plenty to do and it sounds like a sailors place with its chandlery, mega food store, and all the rest. Thanks for the video.

    Hello Kim & Simon,
    Really love your site and videos; thank you for sharing your experiences. Glad you are sailing again and I look forward to more great stories!

    I’m an experienced sailor (American) and am planning to try early retirement and cruising with my fiancée (French) so maybe we will name our boat Fren-ican. 🙂

    My question is would you recommend a renting a boat and trying it for a season first instead of buying a boat? I am thinking it might be wise because:
    – I will learn exactly what kind of boat I really want without the long term commitment
    – Get to experience one season and not have to worry about what to do for winter, etc.
    – If my partner doesn’t like it I’m not stuck with a live-aboard boat.

    Of course, finding a good, properly equipped boat to rent for a season seems quite difficult and expensive.
    Any thoughts very appreciated!
    Fair winds!

      Hey Jason – If you can find a boat to rent for a season that would be AMAZING. Learn what you need to learn before buying!!! That would be a perfect situation. The only issue is that I’m not sure it’s easy to find a boat that you can rent out for longer than a week/2-weeks. Failing that, check out a company like SunSail as they offer Flotilla and Bareboat offers with a variety of different boats located all over the world. You can try different boats AND different locations. Furthermore, it’s more of a vacation rather than living the sailing life so chances are that your partner will see the best parts of sailing first (break her in easily). Best wishes with your search for a boat. I look forward to hearing how it goes. Smiles, Kim
