about Lív

Lív may not be the fastest or most luxurious sailboat available, but her design features, such as the center cockpit, contribute to a remarkable level of safety and comfort in turbulent waters. The high freeboard and spacious layout provide ample room, making her feel larger than many 40-foot competitors.

The center cockpit also allows for an expansive captain's berth located at the aft of the boat, enhancing both comfort and utility onboard. A unique aspect of Lív is the presence of mast steps extending to the top of the mast, which facilitate easy, safe, and enjoyable ascents for maintenance or adjustments.

Measuring 12 meters in length overall, Lív stands as an ideal choice for comfortable ocean sailing, with the added advantage of being capable of single-handed operation.

Questions:

  • Since we are now living on Lív fulltime, she will stay in the water somewhere in the (hopefully) warm south. we’re not sure yet where tho.

  • No. Although Lív is registered in Switzerland, she never acctually was in Switzerland. We bought her in England in 2024 and then sailed her to the Netherlands, where she stayed for 1.5 years before we moved on the boat fulltime.

  • Not at the moment. We don’t know yet where we’ll spend winter, but for sure somewhere a bit warmer than the north of Europe.

  • They do! especially Calypso has come out of her shell a lot since we live on the boat. Fortuna on the other hand loves to explore all the new places everytime we sail somewhere new!
