Xquisite X5 Catamaran. Test Sail before I leave Cape Town for Transatlantic Voyage

In this episode of Cruising Off Duty, we will test sail the Xquisite X5, 50' Catamaran that I will help sail across the South Atlantic, Across the equator and to the Caribbean.

We wanted to try sailing with a Parasail for the first time, which will be the sail we assume we will use the most on this trade wind passage.

There was not a ton of wind on this day but it did show proof of concept that in light air this Parasail can still work and we can sail as much as 90 degrees to the wind with it, so it can be used for more than just downwind sailing.

You also get to meet the crew that I will be doing this long sailing voyage with.

Hopefully, you enjoy the episode. If so give it a thumbs up and share the video link with friends and family.

If you want to know what we are doing in real-time or want to contact us we have a free Cruising Off Duty App for iOS or Android that you can download or you can go to our website at www.CruisingOffDuty.com. From either the app or the website you can find out anything you want to know or email us.

Thanks for watching. Safe Cruising and Ciao for now,
Craig
