Excellent series of video's, have loved each one, thanks for posting. What type of boat is Defiant?

[AngelsTravels]

@yennun Hello! Defiant is interesting as there were only less than 100 of those boats made (as far as I've been able to find out!) She's a 36' Morgan Out Island that may've started life out as a sloop and was converted into a ketch. most 36-footers were sloops. They're unusually fast for O/I's and tough buggers to boot.

somehwere someplace there's a guy rubbing one out to this video. i like the road trip thing by sea myself I'll do it when I find that bag full of $100 bills Yep when I find that bag full o Benjy's i'll give it a try.  Till then sail on while the rest of us work.

@GR8PHD the road trip thing- RV's are great, my mom loves it! We work too- regular jobs between sailing & while sailing. The boats in the vid: one's a sea captain, the other a marine electrician/mechanic & boating travel writer. No, we're not spoiled rich people just playing... we work our butts off to get to do this=P

@AngelsTravels Thanks Rebecca. It certainly is an unusual design, but as Francis Bacon said "There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion." A person must really love their boat and a ketch rig to go through the trouble of that kind of conversion.

Some level of Awesome! I figured you had to be hard working. (Nice car speakers! lol They work just fine, right!) Plus you did you own mechanical work on a well used often dependable engine. Wow. This Woman is a Genuine Salt Breather (c) [I just made it up! Wonder if I can retired on the royalties? And become one of the rich people other imagine. 8-) ~ Stay awesome and keep sharing.
