Check out the WORK OF ART that this boat has become. We are VERY proud to unvail the Oyster 485 after 2 years and more than $50,000. Join Ana as she walks us through the boat, pointing out everything we fixed in Colombia, the upgrades, and artesian improvements we’ve made. AND, see our plans now for Cape horn and Antarctica!

  1. i remember the old cat and its self destruction man what a difference this boat is. good on you James you deserve it.

  2. Knots after comment…

    Nice James! Zingaro looks SWEET! The cabin sold is incredible. It's a new boat, time to make it legendary.

    The knots are: 1) Bowline, 2) either an Alpine butterfly or Bowline on a Bight, 3) Poachers Knot, and 4) Double Overhand

  3. Oooo !!!… I like your stopper knot !!!
    1. Bowline
    2. Alpine/Butterfly knot
    3. Overhand with a bight
    4… a stopper knot with an extra twist… the most underused, but vital knot to prevent a sheet in your prop.

  4. Sitting here not far from Plukky's mailing address (I'm in Brissie) not wearing any shoes or socks 🤣 I'll admit i'm soft in my old age, and so I put sandals on when I went for a walk (~6k) earlier today, but defiantly no socks, too hot for that.

  5. The boat looks spectacular, congratulations on bringing the old Girl back to her younger days and better! Would love to get some of your contacts for work as we are currently in Santa Marta and I'm wanting to get some of my cushions re-done as well as some stainless and varnish work. Thanks!

  6. James, I have followed you for several years, I believe in you, but publishing a scheduled?🎉. What are you thinking?

  7. Hi, great to see all the improvements in your boat, i would be excited as well. A quick question as you prepare to go south into cold climates. Do you have any source of heat on board? It could get pretty chilly. Also, do you have anything to break ice away from standing rigging? Happy holidays and all the best in 2023!

  8. Finally back James n Ana con una sola N! Aqui pendiente de la travesia por sur america! safe sailing!

  9. Hey James, Congratulations on all the beautiful wood work! Far as the knot's go. I have no clue. However I do know those sticker's are Bad Ass!!! Merry Christmas to you & yours! Been with ya from the get go. Be with ya till the end! <3 😉

  10. Awesome video and wonderful boat. It's lovely to see you all again.
    I have no clue about the name of the knots 😳 and at the moment I have no chance in trying to join your wonderful tour but hopefully one day soon. I wish you the very best🤞🙏 ✌❤🍀 🌬⛵

  11. BBQs don't need to be cleaned, they just need to be fired up again. Beautiful job James. I've even already seen you with Plukky.

  12. If you got all of that done for$9300. That’s amazing. Great job. I did a lot of projects done in Panama, at the Pedro Miguel Boat Club. Sure do miss that. Able to buy lots from the duty free Ships Chandlery. But you did VERY well. Congrats. And fair winds on your new adventure around S A.
