Every Boat Has a Story… You’re Not Gonna Believe This One

FULL TOUR: ➡️   / svzingaro  

Every boat has a story… but this one is on another level.

This is the MCP 68 Global Expedition — a 32-ton aluminum yacht that sailed six thousand miles upwind on its maiden voyage, straight into hurricane season… and nothing meaningful broke. Not the rig, not the systems, not the structure.

This film isn’t a boat tour.
It’s a deep dive into offshore engineering:

— Why a ballasted swing keel on an aluminum boat is rare, and enhances performance
— Why this hull survived 35 days of upwind punishment
— How the raised deck-salon and mid-ship cabins change offshore living
— The details most people walk past: triple-purchase mainsheet, alloy structure, access, drains, systems
— The decisions that actually matter offshore (and the ones that don’t)

Whether you’re a sailor or not, this is one hell of a story.
