How we actually live on a 50ft Ocean Crossing Trawler

‘Welcome to the ultimate boat tour of our 50ft Selene Classic trawler yacht! Have you ever wondered how we actually live aboard, where we store our gear, and most importantly, what life is like navigating this ship underway when crossing oceans?
If so, you are going to love this episode! Lindsey and I are doing a complete deep dive into our liveaboard lifestyle. We aren’t just showing you the rooms; we are breaking down exactly how we use these spaces, when we use them, and why. We are also sharing our honest thoughts on what we love—and what we dislike—about living on a 50ft trawler.’

Catching up with 'The 71 Percent'

Before embarking on their Pacific Ocean crossing aboard a 49 Selene Classic Explorer, Lindsey and Nathan of the 71 Percent caught up with Wayne Goldman and Dylan Hildebrand at the Selene Shipyard Expansion ceremony in Zhuhai, China.
If you follow YouTube adventurers Lindsey and Nathan of The 71 Percent, you probably know that they just landed safely in French Polynesia after a nine day voyage from Tahiti. Up next is one of the more challenging legs of their cross-Pacific journey, as they head north toward Hawaii.
