Same was said when autopilot developed. I can't see any harm in these changes nor why anyone should be unhappy about it as you can still cut off from technology if you want, and it probably helps to bring more people into sailing which will helps toward further development and maybe one day reduce motor-boating for good

Can't see the attraction. Girls like that are a dime a dozen in Australia.

Re: The New Vagabond Hits The Water

The latest video felt almost like a throwback to an earlier style, I enjoyed it more than I have some of the other recent ones. I hope that trend continues when they get the Outremer.

Re: The New Vagabond Hits The Water

Riley said in a previous video that He reached out to Outremer, after being aboard one with his friends boats, and that as it turned out the PR manager was a subscriber (never hurts to have friends in high places).
Apparently they got a discount, AND a deal on the Blue Water gear Outremer arraigned the loan and the You tube Patreon income will go towards the payment.
