We love you! More baby videos work for us!! But the boat tour is great 🙂 Can’t wait to see you all.

Congratulations on the arrival of your new baby daughter 💞 Morgan.

Congrats you guys

Congratulations on the addition to the family! I enjoy your channel. You have found your niche. You and your charming wife do a fine job. I know cats are the future, I do enjoy your views of mono hulls in the 30 to 40’ range.

Congratulations on the arrival of baby Morgan!

Congratulations!

Blessings to you and Randi and little Morgan.

Gorgeous kid! And 11/11/20 is such a cool bday!!!! Love you guys ❤️

Congrats on the new baby

Congrats on the baby,! She also has the same name as my favorite British hot rod. I will buck the general trend in the comments and say, the owners version of the Open 40 is one of my top 3 contenders. A personal preference of mine is the ride by wire helm that supposedly eliminates some of the 'washing machine' like control comparatively speaking to other production vessels but to each their own (and their budgets)! All the best to you and your family and hopefully, you can do a test sail of the 40!

Congrats on a beautiful baby girl!!!

Congratulations!!! Look forward to the video, with You your Wife and BABY....LOL! Thank you for sharing....

Congratulations 👏

Congratulations on Morgan. He is perfect.

Congratulations on your daughter! Can't wait to see Morgan in upcoming episodes... I like seeing boats I can't afford, I don't know why... I even like seeing boat tours of Cats. But, If I could afford more than I have, I'd likely be looking at monohulls...

I love the name Morgan! I have a niece who has that name and it is beautiful. So is that little girl!❤ Congratulations.

happy baby!...they are great!...

Great video thanks

CONGRATULATIONS on the Birth of Your Beautiful Daughter, YOU Both are Blessed, ENJOY :)

Congratulations

Beautiful baby. Congratulations! We are expecting our first child in May.

Congratulations to you and Randi on the birth your daughter, Morgan. Awesome she was born the same day as my granddaughter who just turned 15 years old. Cheers 🍻

Happy 1st Birthday!!

Neat looking boat, although not what I'd want to own. I agree about those cabinet latches. Really cool. I'll be searching for those to maybe use in my camper van build.

congrats!

Congrats.

Congratulations on the little girl! Only y’all would name their child after a boat brand!!! LOL!

Congratulation God bless u and ur baby

Muchas felicidades!!!!

So nice to see baby Morgan. Great to hear that she's healthy and everything's ok. You could have taken a bit of a longer break, we wouldn't have held it against you ha ha.

Congratulation and best wishes on Morgan

I like better the helm position on the Seawind 1160 but everything else I prefer the Open 40. I love this cat. Awesome looking boat.

congrats

Bienvenido al mundo y al canal, pequeño marinero ¡¡¡¡

Congratulations Jordan, to you and Randi, on Morgan, your new crew member. Happy Thanksgiving to all three of you! Oh...and nice Cat!

Hey Congrats :) :) :)

thank yu!

Congratulations on the baby! She’s cute as she can be. Yes, a baby video is in order. Boats come and go, babies only stay babies for a minute. Or so it seems when you get to be an old man.

How's she goin'? Congrats on the new baby!!! Your life is about to change!!! It'll be fun though!!! LOL

Morgan is adorable, congrats! The boat, while it does have some nice features, not so much. Helms are too out in the open, heads aren't really separate showers, just moved over so you'll still get the rest of the area wet. The saloon is too small for a liveaboard. I prefer the Seawind, but truthfully I'd go for an Exquisite X over any boat I've ever seen. Of course, money would be a problem! LOL

Congrats to you and Randi on the birth of Morgan!

3 things that I’ve learned to ask about the catamaran is how do they do with lightning and are they steel reinforced at the bulkheads? Is the hull solid fiberglass?

Congratulations on the birth!

Congrats on the beautiful baby. I was wondering if I sold my house id have about 160k do they have any of these blue water cats maybe used in my price range? And with all this covid crap going on how difficult is it to go to port in other parts of the world can I still just use my passport or are they requesting more?

Congratulations. Named the baby after a crazy welsh pirate, how nautical is that!!

Grats on the new crew! As for the Nautitech... I really like the lines of the exterior. I think they are really good looking boats from the outside, but everything else about them seems like it's done as an afterthought. I'm not even sure what their goal was with this design. It doesn't seem to have any feature that stands out as "oh, this is why they did it this way" other than having a large (and rather uninspired) cockpit area. You can say "performance" was their goal, except that it's heavier than a Seawind 1260 that's half a meter longer (and has much better interior space utilization AND a cockpit that feels much roomier) with less sail area. And the hulls don't look to be much finer than the 1260s either. I think Nautitech makes for a good day sailer cat, but I can't imagine anyone spending serious time onboard. The interior is inefficient and cramped, the nav station is basically never going to be used, the cabins are basically coffins, and those silly outboard helms... They're probably great when you say "hey, tomorrow's supposed to be a great day for sailing, let's drive down to the marina and take the boat out" but if you're in the middle of the atlantic you're going to curse those helms every minute. I don't remember whose video it was, but I saw someone ask one of the sales reps at a show what the advantages of the outboard aft helms were and all they could come up with was "great for docking"... I suppose if you only ever take the boat out for the day, you probably spend a larger percentage of your time onboard docking, lol. The only thing I can imagine that inspires companies to use that helm location is that they are coming from monohull design where twin aft helms (seemingly set up to encourage falling off the back in rough seas) is almost ubiquitous and the concept of a center cockpit is almost entirely gone. And honestly, the idea that "they're fine because you will usually be using autopilot" doesn't hold water. There are plenty of times that aren't emergencies where you might need to manually steer, and those are the WORST times to have a helm perched at the top of a set of stairs without any real protection from the elements. That's like saying "it's okay that I don't have a bulletproof vest, 90% of the time I'm not getting shot at"... It's also worth noting that those hulls are mostly so narrow because it's only a 40' boat, and judging by the width of the aft beds, probably has a fairly average fineness ratio somewhere around 9.5-10.5. 11-12 is really the top end for performance cruising cats, with >12 being something I would consider beyond cruising territory until you get into the really long cats. Anything narrower than about 1m at the waterline isn't a cruising cat.

Congratulations Jordan, to you and Randi, on Morgan, your new crew member. Happy Thanksgiving to all three of you! This is the first cat review that allowed me to make a judgement within the first 10 seconds. It sucks! Those are the worse helms I have ever seen in my life!

The outboard helms won't get used except for docking and general maneuvering in crowded anchorages, around reefs , thru passages etc but they will also get used when it's really shitty and you need to steer because the auto pilot can't manage or whatever so unprotected is not going to be much fun as a Performance' cat is going to throw a lot of spray at speed. Are they trying to emulate double helms on monohulls? I would much prefer just one good steering position with plenty of protection when needed. Les complication with steering too. ( I don't want a flybridge helm or the lines fed to the helm station.) Other than that and the lack of a proper below deck helm to sit at ,plan passages , go over progress etc. It seems to be a well thought out ordinary charter cat. Not seeing the special attraction . What am I missing that you think it's great? Cheers Warren

Good afternoon from St John Parish, Louisiana 21 Nov 20.

Been looking for a cruising cat for a while, this one is not? two helms both in the far back? no canvas or hardtop? this must be for club racing or something else

there is absolutely nothing I like about this cat

Yuup. Imagine ur anchored in a sheltered small bay and all is beautiful until ur swarmed with evening mosquitos and u have nowhere to sit and eat? Or it's blowing froth and gale in the northern latitudes and u have no sheltered and warm place to sit and eat? Seems like an useless concept to me.

@@davidwestwood5968 I suppose ur just a sissy sailor, only knows tropical sailing (everything south of NYC), and have no clue what I'm talking about. I said in the "northern latitudes" and by that I mean this cat is useless with this open and exposed helm position. Ofc I'm 100% familiar with remote autopilots, but those are close to useless when maneuvering, especially at sail, in close quarters, heavy wind and freezing temps.

Below, the horizontal wood grain makes for a larger feeling space.

It's thought that the name Morgan (which is of Welsh origin) means, "sea chief", "sea protector", "sea defender" or "sailor/captain". Pretty good name for a daughter, all things considered! By the way, did Morgan sign a waver for you to use her likeness in this video???? LOL! Beautiful little girl, congratulations!

Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl!!

Didn't like this one at all. We want a big outdoor sit space, lets sacrofice everything else for it. nav stations are horrible, no security to the aft, no visibility to the otherside at all. Interious was a couch and a galley cramped in there, they might as well just left that glass door and pannel out of it and keep it fully open.

Sounds like your not a fan of smaller cats or performance cats perhaps.

you are blocked at the helm from seeing about 90 to 100 degrees to the opposite side--no way

@JeanPhilippeVAY

No you re blocked. Very good vision actually. Try this boat !

If I was going to design a Cat it would be front and back helms over side to side. It would be nice to see a price range. What makes sense at one price doesn’t make sense at a other.

How would you get that life raft out of that compartment? What does it weigh? I hope you get a huge adrenaline rush from your boat sinking or catching fire, because I think it would be a "mother lifting a car off of her child" kind of effort to hoist that thing out of that compartment, through the cockpit and into the open where you could inflate it. Definitely not what I'd want to be doing if I were ever in a situation where I needed a life raft. Probably not as bad if the cat is inverted, but if the wind and seas are bad enough to flip your cat, do you really want to be standing on top of it trying to power lift that case out?

I would like to see the polars on this boat. At 40', I doubt very much it is in the 15-20 knot range; more like 8-12 knots max. The Seawind 1260, according to Seawind, which is 42' and is also considered a performance oriented cat, is around 10-14 knots. I think the 1160 is pretty close to this boat performance wise, and the dual helms on the Seawinds are far superior visibility wise, and they are protected. I would take an 1160 over this boat without hesitation. And with the lifting cockpit door and galley down, the Seawind utilizes its space much better, with the 1160 having a lower base price. Congrats on the baby girl!

Terrific and roomy catamaran, with lots of room for a charter business or larger family/friends cruises! This boat was obviously taken very well care (very clean engine compartments)!

Dolphin seats are not protected. 40 feet is a little short of ideal for a cruising couple. How's the construction? Do like the low boom and the big coach roof, but the helmet stations should be protected.

😊

I just saw the Soulianis episode where you sailed this boat and I can see why you didn't include any of that experience or your thoughts about it if you're trying to stay positive in these videos. Kirk was BRUTAL in his assessment of how it sailed.

Family at Thanksgiving: How did you get the life raft out? Me: I was inverted Family: "eye rolls"

It's a nice boat but it's really easy to imagine falling off of the back while under way at night.

@pierre.a.larsen

That would worry me also.

It does not make sense to me that there is no place to steer the boat with full forward visibility. I think that is very dangerous. I would not charter this boat, much less consider buying it. Also wish you would mention the price. There is no description to read.

Shit missed it congratulations guys fantastic news from here on in your life is changed forever it's the best investment in life you will ever have enjoy

I sailed one of these things. Many positives but that helm position is aweful. In a choppy sea we got soaked. On passage i know from people who've crossed the Atlantic that it was horrible and hand steering was torture. In many other ways, lovely boat that is a nice compromise of comfort and performance but that helm puts it behind the competition

You were working hard to say good things about this boat. I personally wouldn't purchase for any price. Just not for me.

Don't under-estimate the time you will be spending at the helm, even on passage with autopilot. In rougher conditions you will be adjusting helm along with sail trim.

That "kitchen" is an accident waiting to happen. I can see a steaming hot pan going all over as the cook accidentally steps off of the top step. In rolling seas, there would be no way to prevent it. This looks like a boat designed for charter not for live-aboards. In my mind, the builders need to give this design a lot more thought.

Incredible, a catamaran, a baby... It sounds like La Vagabonde... 😜

Having sailed many offshore miles in monohulls and a 51 ft catamaran, I would never do another offshore voyage in a "cat". The motion of a "cat" in a seaway is most unpleasant as one hull is trying to go up a wave while the other may be trying to go down. The nacelle between the two hull is also frequently hit by waves with a loud band and jarring motion. Moving around the deck is most unpredictable and requires you to make quick moves from handhold to handhold. A "cat" is the only yacht on which we ever experienced motion sickness. Lovely space and amenities, but not my cup of tea for offshore.
