Nu credeam că altceva ar putea merge prost! Ne-am înșelat atât de mult! Încerc doar să ajung acasă cu o barcă pe jumătate care lucrează. Trebuie să ne grăbim, deoarece avem multe de reparat înainte de a putea naviga către Mexic, dar nu avem prea mult timp! Sperăm că vă place să vizionați acest videoclip, la fel de mult pe cât ne bucurăm noi de timpul petrecut în această parte frumoasă a lumii. Nu uita, suntem complet în timp real. Ceea ce vedeți este ceea ce facem în prezent. Așa că vă rugăm să comentați cu sfaturi, sfaturi și întrebări. Vom scrie înapoi 🙂 Ne place să auzim de la voi toți și primim o grămadă de încurajare din toate opiniile, aprecierile și comentariile.

  1. Hey guys… what a nail biting episode😅. Darcy, try and drill a hole through that bolt and put a split pin through it… should prevent the bolt from coming loose again. Love from Adrian in Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️

  4. Another great video. It was my special treat, saving up to watch after a day on the hard of sanding, painting and getting white paint on my varnished head walls🫢
    We too ended up with hydraulic steering due to a restriction peculiar to our cat (no rudder tie bar, just cables which didnt allow a linear drive auto pilot). After splashing with emergency steering we managed to get it sorted and we love it now. So easy to steer compared to cables alrhough we miss the weather helm.
    You may have already done this, but another tip to look for is protection for your hydraulic hoses through the boat. We put plastic 'pigtail' around ours to protect them from rubbing through and expanding foam into all the holes around the hoses to hold them in place and pevent rubbing on bulk heads etc.
    Also we installed a piece of plastic hose with a bung at the top of the helm pump so we can monitor the oil level at a glance and we carry spare hydraulic oil. Very sadly two people died heading back to NZ from an autopilot failure apparently due to low hydraulic oil levels. We have taps to isolate either helm pump or autopilot pump if one fails too.
    Hats off to you for getting out of that tricky situation. At least when we had steering issues we had two engines!
    Do you have a decent emergency steering system? Many just have tillers which can be dropped through a hole in the deck onto the top of one or two rudders. Steering like this out at sea would be exhausting and potentially dangerous exposed to the weather /waves.
    We now have a hydraulic tie bar and if that or the rest of steering fails, we can drop two tillers onto the rudders and then run rope cables to another pivot point and tiller that can be operated from the safety of the cockpit. Let me know if you want pics.
    Best of luck getting everything sorted in your haulout.

  6. I try to never hire marine service "professionals". With two notable exceptions, every single thing I've paid to have done was very poor quality work and had to be redone by me.

  9. Get a locking nut or drill and pin it, a nylon washer and a splodge of greese . The vibration or movement probably loosened it. Happy sailing…… or fixing.🤔😊😊😊
    It's much better breaking down with scenery like that than by the side of a road.

  10. Loving your videos, you guys come across as really open and honest.

    Apologies if this has been mentioned already. Please cut the ends off the bolts holding your hard'top on before someone impales their scull on one. Smooth what's left with a file. 😊

  11. Hi guys, the scenery and wildlife there is simply incredible!

    Good to see you sorted out your little problem so quickly. I tried to get a good look at the "bolt" used in your steering but Darcy's thumb was mostly in the way. It appeared to be a bolt that was threaded all along the length which would make it a "set screw"…i may be wrong but anyway just in case it should be a bolt which is smooth where it passes through the two "arms".
    Boats vibrate lots so everything wants to fall apart! You have quite a lot of advice in the comments which are all sound. To add what has already been said you could simply drill the end of the bolt with a small hole and insert a cotter pin or just a bit of siezing wire. You could also use a nyloc nut which has a plastic insert in the end which prevents it from undoing. You could also use threadlock (loctite 243) which also stops the nut undoing!
    I alway carry loctite 243 and siezing wire to use on any shackles in my anchor system as they have a habit of undoing! I also loctite every nut and bolt where i can.

    The "engineer" who installed that steering for you is a disgrace. That could have caused a serious accident.

    Cheers

  12. I find watching your videos very inspiring and somehow, even with each issue you encounter you still smile through it and give us, the viewers, a great sense of your super calm nature. I have quickly become a fan! Thanks

  13. The people that installed the steering ram should have aligned it so the ram bar is on top of the steering arm, so if the nut ever comes off, the bolt should still hold the two together. If space allows I would look at realignment of the ram or if possible lowering the steering arm.

  15. Not too sure how behind your videos are, but if you are planning haulout and pulling shafts and fixtures, best to get some penetrating oil (recommend Aerokroil) on all the fasteners or fittings that need to come apart…

  18. Hi – Whenever possible, weight should rest on, not hanging from. Try to use nylon everything as much as possible, incl fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws, washers, etc). Obviously won't corrode (unlike anything metal), kind self locks, great wear & break strength (<10,000 PSI). So b4 you pick up anything metal to purchase, think, can I do this with nylon?
    Use sleeves to reduce pin/bolt wear, can tighten against them.
    Lots of opinions for lube/protect, whilst I use White Lithium on most things, there's no one product suits all, research.

  21. Hi people great adventure sad about your camera good people could help you get another. That bolt yes we are taught on aircraft if you can put a bolt facing down you do it, you could put a self locking nut on that nylock would do it I think.

  22. Greetings! Speaking of the problem you had with the hydraulic part of the rudder, it would be very interesting to make a mechanical change, making the hydraulic cylinder rod connect above the rod that turns the caramaran rudder. Therefore, even if the nut loosens, gravity will not allow the hydraulic cylinder rod to disconnect from the rudder rod. If this change is not possible, I recommend that you use the strongest chemical lock you can find (the red chemical lock is the strongest), so that this nut never loosens again. A boat's rudder is very important. It is as important as the brakes on a car. If the rudder fails at a critical moment, the consequences can be very serious. Check the entire catamaran rudder system, retightening and placing a chemical lock on all system nuts. Hope this helps.

  23. Like many other have already suggested about the bolt for the strearing are to use a locking nut or lock tight, another idea would be get a bolt with a predrilled hole to use a castle nut and cotterpin or even come safty wire like used to lock down nuts and bolts in aircraft. Another option would be put the piston eyelet about the stearing arm and drop the bolt from the top so even if the nut falls off at least the bolt will hold it in place till you can get it fixed.

  25. Nice video guys, just came across this channel very smiley when in front of the camera looks a little false, to me, how about a good argument you know real life. Even when you have a disaster toothy grins. ☹

  26. Unbelievable that you pay someone and. Get lousy work in return. One thing to note, turn the bolt over. Put it in from the top down, not from bottom up. The nut could fall off but the bolt might stay in place. Gravity!

  29. I hope this channel gets more subscribers❤, I truly feel they’re genuine people even though i haven’t met them, but i just want them to succeed in this venture so that they can upgrade all the things that needs to be upgraded on the boat🙂

  30. That boat needs a professional survey top to bottom before ever leaving port again.The rig should be examined and replaced/upgraded before ever contemplating a voyage from Vancouver to Mexico. A shake down cruise to Alaska on an unfamiliar boat with your limited sailing experience was very irresponsible and dangerous for you and those responsible for your potential rescue.Experience should be gained on short jaunts after the boat has been surveyed by a professional surveyor.

  32. Holy crow! So many emotions as a viewer…i can't even imagine what you're feeling as the sailors! The good thing i learned today, though, is that this is a shakedown. So, at least you weren't expecting everything to be a-ok from the get go. I hadn't realized that and thought the purpose behind this trip was with the expectation that you were on a boat that had already passed the sniff-test. I'm feeling very relieved 😅. Now, with some time on the hard, i hope you find as many glitches as possible and get everything worked out before your voyage to Mexico. Before leaving Vancouver, buy back-ups for everything…i'm sure i don't need to tell you that, lol. Best of luck getting this in proper working order!!!!😊

  36. i see a hazard in your "bimini" cut those bolts shorter, your definitely going to hit your head in one of those… also, dont let your anker hang on the "windless" use a rope to both sides of the boat…
