FAQ
Question
What kind of Catamaran is Dark Angel?
Answer
‘Dark Angel’ is a 2006 Fortuna Island Spirit 401. South African built and designed for offshore sailing, she has 3 cabins that we’ve whittled down to 2, a very shallow draft and excellent sailing characteristics. We fall in love with her more every day.
Question
How did you become interested in sailing?
Answer
We didn’t start out looking at sailing. We started out looking for a warm climate to move to. As we researched, we began to lean toward sailing as a means to travel and explore rather than be tied to one location.
Dave – I raced sailboats as a Sea Cadet when I was a kid.
Lisa – Dave introduced me to sailing starting with a little Hobi cat, on vacation in Jamaica, and I was hooked.
Question
What made you want to start cruising?
Answer
YouTube was a huge influence in our decision to start cruising. We followed channels with beginners and concentrated on cruisers who share our goals.
Question
What is your YouTube channel about?
Answer
We decided our YouTube channel would reflect the new experiences and discoveries we make. We don’t have a ton of experience for ‘how-to’ videos and the only advice we offer is to get out and live life. Don’t wait for it to come to you. We hope to inspire people the way we’ve been inspired.
Question
What has been your favourite thing about sailing?
Answer
Flying the spinnaker is by far the best thing about sailing. Dropping the hook in a quiet, secluded anchorage is the perfect end to a day of sailing.
Question
Do you accept crew onboard?
Answer
We currently do not have long-term crew requirements, but we are always accepting applications for short-term crew, in case of long passages.
