Can you believe they don’t allow cats in the Sydney to Hobart race? Join us for a front seat view of the start of the 2022 Sydney to Hobart ocean race. We also introduce to you Allan Forbes from Genuine Risk, a 90ft Dufour Super Maxi, who is preparing for the 2023 Sydney to Hobart Race. Then we go sailing with our friend Tim on a MiniCat 420, which is an inflatable catamaran.
We finish our amazing time in Sydney by watching the iconic fireworks display on New Years Eve. Thank you everyone for making 2022 so wonderful, we can’t wait to introduce you to our new boat next week!

GET HER ON BOARD is about getting that significant other to buy into this cruising nonsense. People seem to like it.

Book:
LIVE ON THE MARGIN is about making money on the go trading stocks and options. I co-wrote it with Pat Schulte of Bumfuzzle. People seem to like that one too. All proceeds donated to our boat.

Awesome video…those race boats are HUGE
Fantastic video really enjoyed that thanks ๐happy new year to you both
O yea the very best country in the world my home Australia
The cliffhanger off the year…๐ฎ
Nice edit guys. Never seen an inflatable cat before. Search YouTube there was an amazing bunch of Russians that circumnavigated in one with a few Ali spares holding things together. Some amazing footage from some crazy sailors
The boat 92( Ocean Crusaders), Brisbane (8:58) orange storm jib , on the sail past is all electric! First time for SH they were also first 2 up over the line and Annika, first female skipper to finish! They clean up the waterways for us to enjoy! ๐
Did he say a mainsail a quarter of a million dollars. I think I could be a winner with a old 57 swan .
Was hoping for a moment that you would be doing the race. Oh well good thing you enjoyed the start.
Magnificent and so good to see Scott, Laurie and Muskoka on YT again!
I recognize one of the first guest you interviewed in the sailboat. He and his girlfriend/wife had a sailing channel.
What was your verdict on the MiniCat 420? In your opinion, is it enough fun to carry as a "toy" on a larger yacht, or would you get bored with it after a few uses? thanks for the great videos!
What an amazing thing to wittness
What service do you use to source your music? Iโm loving your soundtracks lately.
Thinking this is the best episode you have ever done!
There is a vowel shift in the ozzy accent. Used to be either broad or cultivated which was quite a nice twang but now they sound like Americans with those fake accents buying frapachino almond coffee with extra latte. Whatโs happened? ๐ฎ
Standard fare from the O'Kellys. That is to say great information. Easy to understand. Makes sense. Fun to watch. Have you considered forming a movie company devoted to entertainment/knowledge? That would be a first? Laugh and enjoy the day with me.
Super maxis sound Super uncomfortable, Super dangerous and for the Super rich
What incredible time for you to be in Sydney for both the start of the Sydney to Hobart and for the New Year fireworks!!
What were the water and air temperatures in Sydney Harbor?

This years winner, Andoo Comanche, has actually gone back to the Coffee Grinders rather than relying on hydraulics. Apparently making the Crew work saves hundreds of Kilos of Fuel spent running the engine. Sounds harsh, but when you've spent $Millions shaving every Kilo with Carbon Fibre, it starts to make sense.
Edit; And Comanche took Line Honours by 24 minutes in a 36 hour race, so those few Kilos probably helped.
โsuper maxiโ is 100 footer like Wild Oats, Black Jack, LawConnect. Genuine Risk is merely a maxi.
Wow you guys -youโre so fortunate to be in the Action if not at least to observe! Terrific!!
Just AWESOME ๐ ๐๐ ๐ฅณ๐ฅฐ Thank you for sharing ๐คทโโ๏ธ wishing you the very best ๐คฒ

Damn you and your cliff hanger at the end ๐๐ฆ๐บ๐๐ฆ
