The HH88 is a super strong all-carbon vessel designed to sail around the world in style and comfort!  And lucky us, Sean invited us aboard for a sail during his sea trials.  Where we get a behind the scenes look at what it’s like to sail, live and certify this super yacht for international waters.

WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of modern-day documentarians, perpetual travelers, and seekers of tall tales.

We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.

Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. Self-reliance and living a sustainable lifestyle are a must. It's all about managing our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.

We've lived off the grid for over 10 years now in everything from a Van to RV to a Sailboat. And over time we have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water, and managing our waste.

Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

Since so many of you have commented, just a quick note about the flags being flown aboard Crazy Love in this video. It is common courtesy (and in many countries it is the law) that you fly the flag of the country you are sailing in. It is simply an acknowledgement that you recognize whose territorial waters you are in. You may also fly the flag of your home port country, and can also add the flag of your home state or province. If you're "curious" and want more info on how to properly display the flags, do a quick internet search on "flag etiquette for yachts" for all sorts of fascinating info.

Absolutely loved Sandy Bottoms’ report! Definitely hope we get to see more of her reporting on perhaps things like high tides ruining sand castles, sea weed clogging anchor chains and perhaps even sudden 20 knot squalls. So much for her to cover.

[cindyfleer]

I can’t wait to see the Wynns boat. I can’t imagine how they must feel! ❤⛵️

[sputnikalgrim]

As much as I enjoy these videos, they’re creating an itch I can never scratch. I enjoy solitude, I’m wishing I could leave modern society behind more and more, and I’m totally broke. You’re videos to offer me an escape and that’ll have to be enough, as always thank you for another video!

[antiguareefriders]

We’ve been following you for the last 12 months and really enjoy your storytelling skills, photography and sense of adventure. But it was a “sailing channel” without a boat! So…we went back and started at the beginning. We shared your excitement when you bought curiosity, we got nervous with you when you took your first solo journey and left the marina, we groaned with Jason when he crawled into cupboards and bit our nails when Nicky was hanging on the halyard, we felt your pain during lockdown and felt your joy when you met new friends and had new experiences. It took me longer than it should have to realise that this wasn’t a sailing channel after all. It was the story on how you live your life and maybe a suggestion on how others could live theirs. With grit, determination, a smile and, of course, with curiosity.

We finally caught up this week and are now excited to join you both in this new chapter.

The sea trials were so cool to see. In the US Navy, I was on a fast attack submarine and coming out of shipyard, we also had to do sea trials which included the full speed to full reverse maneuver shown in this video. We called it a "crash back." As you can imagine, it was much more violent than on the HH88. :)

[glendon]

Did you ever think you'd be sailing on a brand new multi million dollar boat with the builder at the helm?!? Seriously love where your life choices have taken you both. Thanks for sharing the experience! ❤

[jackmcgonegal]

Loved this episode. I've been following Sean's channel, which has been terrific for learning about design, contracting, specs, and so forth, but he's been very reticent to talk about himself. Great stuff.

[Kecarter]

Wow, wow, wow. Good for these folks. What a beautiful vessel to live thier dreams aboard.

[johnfritz]

The HH88 is so beautiful. Congratulations to this self made nice owner. Here’s a man whose done everything right.

[JheregJAB]

Amazing boat! I know we joke a bit about the electrical engineer having to work _so hard_ staying on the boat, but honestly that's actually an attention to detail that I appreciate. With a project like this there is truly no doubt in my mind that he's getting things better than they would be if it was just a normal 9-5 for him. Really cool project and really seems like a great group of people making it happen.

[mindyedwards]

Absolutely in love with the finishes on the HH88 with the resin designs, they are so beautiful.

[martyd]

The segue to your sponser was priceless. Thank you Sandy Bottoms.

[VanisleNSX]

What an amazing vessel! Sean seems like a very nice & well deserving owner.

[dawndawnfryer]

When human beings possess passion, expertise, and love, they can go on to produce wonderful things, whether that be a great cathedral, or in this case a cutting edge sea going vessel. It was a pleasure and a privilege just to witness it. Thank you.

[Charlie-Oooooo]

What an amazing boat project! Reminds me of those Kohler faucet commercials, but with a jacuzzi: "Design a yatch around this:"🛁⛵️😊

[robertskinner]

What an amazing project. Thank you for taking us along.

[Ospreym]

Secret: wasn’t looking forward to this video as I have been watching the build and it wasn’t reverting. The way you have put this together, the boat has come alive. Incredible 10 knots, the space, the galley and Paul on the helm with a smile that never leaves his face.

[ChlorophilG]

Good job on your sponsored segment, "Sandy Bottoms" made me smile, I appreciate the effort you put in to making that whole thing more interesting.

[kendaum]

The only thing I can say is that is a CRAZY BIG BOAT!
