Continuăm să încercăm să remediem daunele de la al doilea fulger, dar cei 2 prieteni ai noștri vin și ne distrag atenția de la a ne face treaba! Nu că ne-am plâns pentru că întotdeauna simțim că este important să ne distrăm puțin în timp ce lucrăm pe barcă, dar nu prea mult! SV Parlay este un catamaran Lagoon 450 avariat de uragan, pe care Colin l-a reconstruit împreună cu prietenii și a început să navigheze în jurul lumii. Au găsit avarii în peretele etanșului catamaranului lor din Panama, așa că au reparat-o și sunt aproape gata să traverseze Oceanul Pacific!!

Aceste fete nebune sunt o INFLUENȚĂ RĂU! – (Episodul 194)
😅 hehe crack up .. the tortilla challenge… yes it is good to have a Laugh now and then…I’m really enjoying all your videos bro 👍 . I hope you get all your electric’s on as well… good luck to all of you’s 🤘🏻
OMG "The Tortilla Challenge" That was hysterical! Hi Jordan!
Just a question? Your boat is usually wet when lightning hits the boat so by effectively grounding the standing rigging to the water why wouldn’t it be grounded through the electrical system via the connection via the engine and the shaft?
It behooves me why the manufacturer doesn’t install a plate or rollers as you did on the longeron for the anchor rode. Keep it up Collin and you’ll end up designing the perfect boat…
#lovethatjamie
Throw some coffee grounds on the maggots the caffeine in the coffee will kill the worms while also masking the smell. Fresh roasted beans would be best but grounds will work in a pinch. I used to have garden slugs around my house on the concrete and now every so often I open up a used K-cup and dispute the grinds and no more slimy stick to the bottom of my feet at night. Also works for mosquitos any standing water add grounds to and instantly no more breading areas for pesky insects.
There is no full proof way that I have heard of. However cables clamped on to rigging, I think, has worked for me. Idea is so much better grounding for the energy to go thru but negative and positive charges. Same as lightning rods on top of a barn. By grounding positive or negative charges oppose, I don’t remember all the details, plenty of info on line I think. But I have been out in some fairly bad storms with out any strikes in the 25 years of sailing. Maybe just luck!
Dawn dish soap and water in a spray bottle drops bees , wasps , hornets instantly
Hello all. like all lighting conductors they go to earth or ground. So how can you earth a boat other than drop your anchor. Which is the most obvious. 🤔 🏴 is that something that you should look at
Cutting the dreads 👍
Slow-mo videos of lightning strikes I've seen has shown that the strikes comprise of lightning coming down, but also rising up from the ground, particularly from sharp pointy bits, like mastheads. So a direct ground to the water to disapiate the energy, as others have suggested, sounds like a good idea.
Old wives take for protection from lightning strikes: put leeks along the top of your roof.
🤷♀️I dunno, try it out! Or a weird lone leek tied to the very top of your mast, lol.
I would look at the solar panel industry. I cannot imagine that any Utility company with acres of solar panels or wind turbines don't have the same problem and have figured out a solution.
I doubt you’ll see this but you may want to try running all your grounds to a fuse block as well. So, all your equipments positive battery feeds are fused. Most of the time the grounds just terminate to a single ground lug then go on to your batteries negative. If lightning strikes your mast, most likely will travel down and will spike your wiring and blow your positive fuses. If your grounds are fused as well it should blow those fuses before traveling onto your equipment’s through the ground wire(s). Just a thought. Good luck guys!
would it be helpful to have a direct cable from a lightning rod atop the mast all the way to the water? ALSO: can you trust the historic schedule of hurricanes?………aren't there rogue storms at both ends of the season?
your skill at diagnosis of electrical problems is impressive and priceless!
That's what you call a wrap slap…..;) Lol
Oh, Aitor wasn't there. Hmmm, do I recall he split with Maria?
Colin, you need to check with the engineers @ DITEK for some surge protection.
I do believe putting a large gage cable overboard will HELP dissipate the voltage from a ligting strike. Perhaps not 100%, but may save onboard equipment. On board, I keep a set of automotive booster cables for that purpose when at anchor under threat of a strike. Booster cables can be easily deployed quickly too. Just clip them to two stays and drop the other ends in the drink. I do keep two sets btw so I can deploy one on each side.
There is just something about that Jordan…………..😍
LOL…. Maggots'…… I have been thru that also….. Gotta keep track of your rice and flour….
Whenever you don’t need the navigation aids and electronics, disconnect them from their power supply.
I would have connected a heavy cable to the shrouds and then the water also. Even though it might be like a fly trying to minimize the damage of a baseball bat coming down on his head…. Not going to do much. But, it's worth a shot and we all know what doing nothing equates to. Good luck
Hi Colin, the battery cable you've dropped into the water may help electric charges to dissipate from the mast to the water. That may help a potential lightning to find a better way than going thru the boat following electric wires.
On another hand, considering the incredible voltages involved, there is absolutely no way any wire insulation could prevent a lightning to hit the copper of this wire and destroys the system it is connected to. But that may help limiting the damages yes.
Lightning rods on buildings are built on the same purpose after all : they "help" lightnings to follow a safe path.
Can you reduce lightning strike damage with a carbon fiber mast?
There is a story of a person who was hit by lightning, who was wearing a walkman, apparently the bolt went from his head area down the wires to about his knee then blew to ground. It seems the very very thin walkman headset wires saved him from major injury.
I would definitely have much more cable in the water perhaps 30 ft or so. Nothing to lose in trying it.
CAN you disconnect and put your nav electronics in a metal box while not in use, seems the only way to really reduce* harm.
None designed to be readily removed?
Most likely a natural swarm of bees. Just wait then out, they will leave.
Colin – I would highly recommend listening to On The Wind episode #290 "Lightning Strikes Offshore". Listen to a physicist explain what attracts lightning. There are things you can do to tamp down the electron signature that makes your mast attractive to lightning.
Mark the relays, write what those relays are right on the wall next to the relay.
This episode had me crying laughing!! lol Thanks!
