We’re Caspar & Tatum. In 2021 we decided we should seize the moment, buy a boat and sail around the world.
It all started in September 2020 when we came up with the crazy, romantic idea of one day stepping off the grid & onto a boat. Fast forward 11 months and we are the proud owners of the the yacht of our dreams, Nautilus, our Nautitech Open 40.
I want to say that we spent ages scoping out & test sailing a plethora of sailing machines, but in truth we sat on our sofa watching YouTube & fell in love with the Open 40. Opportunities are scarce when you try to buy a boat during a global pandemic.
Up until the day that we stepped aboard I had a total of 9 days sailing experience, but I’m a water baby (in it, on it, near it & I am in my happy place). Caspar is an island boy & a sailor (he grew up on the Isles of Silly & is the son of a merchant navy captain) its fair to say that we both have the ocean in our soul.
We hope you will join us for our adventure as we learn the ropes & become salty sea dogs.
