Hi and welcome to our channel! Join us on our incredible sailing adventure aboard our beloved sailing yacht, Polaris Helvetica, a Bavaria Cruiser 46. After leaving our native Switzerland and settling in the UK almost two decades ago, we made a life-changing decision in 2021. With our three boys grown and flown, we bid farewell to the rat race in London and embraced a new chapter aboard Polaris as our primary floating home.

Throughout the years, we have embarked on numerous upgrades to enhance our sailing experience on Polaris. We swapped the standard propane gas cooker for an electric cooker and oven, installed a generator, and upgraded to a lithium (LiFePo) house battery bank. Additionally, we added 1,200W of solar panels and a water maker to ensure self-sufficiency on the open seas. The inclusion of a third reefing point on the mainsail and an inner forestay for a working jib and a storm sail further enhances Polaris as a comfortable and safe live-aboard yacht. We now sail along Scotland's breathtaking coastline, enjoying year-round living on our floating oasis.

Join us as Kathrin showcases her culinary talents in the galley, preparing delicious meals and mouthwatering baked treats while we navigate the seas. We have truly fallen in love with our new lifestyle, despite the tough decisions we had to make along the way. We bid farewell to our rented house in London and let go of belongings that couldn't fit aboard Polaris. The liberating feeling of knowing that everything we own is on our small sailing boat is indescribable. Our focus is on embracing freedom, exploring new destinations, uncovering the rich histories they hold, and forging connections with fellow adventurers we meet along the way.
