Australian Man building 50ft wooden catamaran in Japan

Meeting the builder of a wooden Dix470 catamaran in Japan helped us change course, back to our roots as builders and creators. We also go sailing in Japan! As we return to friends and family in Oregon, we have a new hunger for returning to the sailing life...aboard a yacht of our own making. ⛵️ FOR BEHIND THE SCENES UPDATES & TIPS, JOIN OUR COMMUNITY https://www.patreon.com/theokellys 📭 PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP - THE O'KELLY'S S/V CLARITY GROUP https://www.facebook.com/groups/475364229906600/ 🎙 PODCAST - UNDER THE SHEETS WITH THE O'KELLYS https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/under-the-sheets-with-the-okellys/id1470844381 Nick and Megan have been #sailing and living #OffTheGrid on and off for the past 21 years.
