I was waiting in line at a Canadian tire in South Burnaby, and in front of me was a lady living on a sailboat at the old marina you used to stay. She has a dog. She knows you from those times. I was so happy she and I were watching your videos. You are a local celebrity, looks like. So happy to see a new video from you; it means that you are well, and everything is ok.

Alpha and Devlin, congratulations on your Hans Christian acquisition! The transition from a coastal racer-cruiser to a true blue water cruiser will open the world to your adventures. All boats are compromises. What you lose in responsiveness in Moonshine will be made up in stable tracking in heavy weather, comfort, and storage. Whoever acquires Moonshine will receive a wonderfully maintained and improved sailboat ⛵️. The craftsmanship and meticulous maintenance skills which you have shared will transform a well maintained boat to a stunning boat in due time. I’m really looking forward to sharing in your new adventures thru the excellent production skills which you now possess. I appreciate that your channel focuses on sailing and lifestyle rather than debauchery as so many do. These may be great for click-bait and views, but to me they “sell their souls” to provide and unrealistic and unsustainable picture of the cruising life. (one man’s opinion) 😎👍

You have a very nice Hans Christian. I love those sailboats, all the sizes, such a classic style. Wish you the best with her.

What a gorgeous boat. Congratulations, you two! I'm such a sucker as well for traditional looking "shippy" boats. The canoe stern is just beautiful, as is the interior. The boats built in the Ta Shing yard all have amazing joinery. There are two Mason 33s, a Baba 30, and a Baba 35 in my marina, all Ta Shing built. One of the Masons sits next to the Baba 35 and I've joked about that part of the pier being "Ta Shing" alley. You're fortunate to have one of these beautiful boats.

Thank you! I have loved this make and model for quite some time and I am also a sucker to shippy boats! Sounds like you are surrounded by them and get to appreciate them every time you walk down the docks. :)

I believe it was a video of yours that introduced me to Hans Christian boats. If I'm remembering correctly, you visited some friends on the west coast trip that have one. They're just beautiful, and the Northern Dancer V is a stunning example. I'm thrilled for you!

Oh yes, that was James and Angela's boat when we stopped to see them at Lagoon Cove Marina. That was Devlin's first experience with a Hans Christian as well. The craftsmanship really is stunning when you get to see one up close and personal. We are very happy with the move to Northern Dancer V. :)
