Expecting the world of a 40 cat, you need a 50 and are budget stuck trying out 40s?

My two Bob - the defenders in this instance did what worked for them, and have reviewed/amended their defensive measures, and should be commended. I have my thoughts on security measures of various levels, based on situation awareness, monitoring, avoidance, early detection, maintaining distance, layers of security/defence. Bottom line - sailors need a practiced plan based on the time/place/context.

The Karcher pump is not salt prove. It’s going to fail on you my friend.

love this, thank you

Are you guys still travelling?

Testing anchors in sand and mud for their holding power is useless. They all work in ideal conditions. What one really wants to know is which anchor will set and hold in grass or hard sand or rock. This Ultra saleman talks about anchors "landing upside down" which is ridiculous. A Delta cannot maintain an upside down position. It immediately rolls to one side or the other and then begins to set. I do not think that our salesboy has any experience using the Delta, and I think that he has a commercial interest in trying to discredit it. IMO, the Delta is the most cost-effective, and I do have experience in using one. I have found the 22 lb. Delta to be superior to the 35 lb. CQR. I always used a minimum of 50 ft. of chain. SS Ultra? Say goodbye to $$$$ when it fouls in 50 ft. of water. $4,000.00? YIKES!

A lot of talk but not much walk. lol

the Blue Runner is a game changer....

Are you both ok? We miss you both!!❤

Please make an update

"Are you over it?" Are you kidding?

fully agree with your comments

Dirty beach

Looked kinda scary hanging off the scoop like that... 😮

Dumb advice from dumb people.

Having watched these vidios i would suggest these folk stay in safe waters, they are are not up to to what an angry ocean can give. But best luck anyway, maybe luck will provail, but pleae remember its not sunglasses and glamour, sailing comes with risk.

Just seen the retired folk atempting this, with calm winds this could work, but given a trs, the arc will have the worst outcome. Suggestion, make kipper underr 40 and experienced in ocean without electronics. Regrads skipper john Lass pàlmàs fix it for boats engineer.

Best ever advice for you old boys, dont depend on your crew, are you up to it single handed, prepare for that as shit may happen and your crew/passengers are entirely your rsponsabiltg if lost you face procesussion. Sail single handed for at least 5 years 5,000 miles without electronics then your ready. Regrads skipper john

Nice words good talk, but having done it expect the unexpected, take bottled water, tinned food and a sowing kit for blown out sails, and navigate old school, because when your allfancy goes wrong u better well should know how to do without power, as an exercise try sailing without power to the island of Madera and back as a try, as I learned be a hardened sailer thats been in storms previous. Your crew crew is your responsibility to deliver home safe and sound, the atlantic is no playground. Good luck, but remeber their lies are in your hands and entirely your responsabilty, regards skipper john.

Great video. We are in Salvador, Brazil, sailed from Mindelo, Cape Verde, being a good stop. You are going to regret not crossing the equator, respectfully suggesting an early January departure from Mindelo, making it to Salvador in time for Carnival in February, perhaps founding an event called: ARC+Brazil.

Where did you get all of your parts for your water maker? Cheers Yukon John

Lovely to see you both in Australia 🇦🇺 👏

Would you do this again ? Is it still working. Thank you

Any best quality of any anchor based on Wahan is equal to zero.

not much sailing happening anymore. Maybe you should have bought the Lagoon 42 you didn't like. lol

Best selling cruising cat in the world. And what do you own again? lol

i have jambo on my sailboat, just out of curiosity why did you give 3 for reliability?

Is the Karcher still working? I realise lots of things have changed over the years, with more bespoke high pressure pumps being now available, but I wondered how long you got out of the Karcher? The biggest downside I imagine is the noise.....pressure cleaners are not noted for their quietness.

Many years since the video. Out of curiosity, how long the pressure washer lasted on this setup? And the reverse osmosis membranes? I love the solution for a cheaper watermaker!

Los videos son buenos y educativos, ver a Carla es agradable, todavia es una mujer bien buena y rica a la vista. Saludos.

Wow, what an amazing video! It's so great to see you both exploring Perth and sailing on Ocean Fox. I know everyone needs a break from UA-cam, but I hope you haven't quit. I hope you are both doing well, and I really hope to see more videos from you in the future. Also, have you sold the barge? Carla, it was wonderful to see you in the video. More of you please, you're such a nice lady! And to the commenter who shared their story about Perth, thank you for taking us on your "overseas travel" journey. It sounds like a dream! Keep enjoying your cycling adventures along the river. Perth truly seems like a place that has it all.

Love the boat. Personally, i dont care how sustainable it is. Everything else is important, safety? Can I go around the world in it? Can I live with it for 20 years? Thats real sustainable.

Force 11? I call BS. You would be capsized and dead. Utter nonsense,

Centre of gravity demo with the small model doesn’t consider the weight of swivel and chain on the end of the shank…

My husband and I are just thinking about you both. How are you? Hope all is well?! Please let us know something!

Yes, but it 1:16 would been much better they weren,t build in China

I purchased a Tomking TK144FC. 23 LBS, 1500 watts, 4 cycle. Neccessary modifications: File the flywheel timing slot to retard the ignition to something sensible. Change the centrifugal clutch springs to lighter ones so the motor can troll. File a hand finish on the propeller. Result. This small reliable air cooled motor would be very suitable for a 3 place dinghy and take very little space in a boat. When you're done, you turn it upside down and pour the fuel back in your bottle.

Havbe used a Parsun 5 about three times per month for a few years. The built in gravity tank does not easily supply enough pressure to feed the carburettor which makes starting difficult. It is easy to start if you are using a separate fuel tank that allows you to pre pressure the fuel. Otherwise has been very reliable and supplies sufficient powr to make a small dinghy plane.

What is new with you guys?

They simply copy The comproved Spade anchor concept! Its incredible how people dont anderstand nothing about anchors... Ultra its a beautiful good anchor, but you can get much cheaper anchors with The same or best performance. By The way, wy a 35 kg of stainless cost 3.000€?????🤔

Are you coming back for this year?The racet has more significance as it embraces a sail between Thessaloniki (birth city of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk) and Istanbul at the centennial of Turkish Republic.

I know everyone needs a break from UA-cam, but I hope you haven't quit. I hope you are both doing well, and I hope to see more videos in the future.

Where are you guys?🤔

Just bought one 7 days ago,there is no competition to Ultra

Question is: why only 6' of chain and why on the tip of the main anchor (rather connect chain to few links from the main). This way you really have two independent anchors, easier to set and retrieve. And dont worry about wind shifts, they don't occur 180 degrees in 5 sec

just found your channel. I see it is a few months old. are you sailing?

Keeping 1 person up top would have given you time to act when you go to sleep always lock up the boat to stop entry .

Would not touch the big one, the running costs will be ASTRONOMICAL. PLUS THOSE BUILT-IN SOLAR PANELS WILL CAUSE MORE EXPENSE THAN THEY ARE WORTH.

Have they sunk? Nothing for 2 months.
