Construcția bărcilor este în general o pălărie veche și totul a fost făcut înainte. Ca constructor de bărci, mă plictisesc și aleg idei noi pentru a-mi condimenta propria construcție. Cu scopul de a duce navigația electrică cât de departe pot, caut în fiecare centimetru din industria noastră idei care să mă ajute în această călătorie. Săptămâna aceasta explorez alternative la pânzele tradiționale, soluții de ancorare de la frânghii, la ancore și un șliț de 48v de la producătorul de top Lewmar. Renunțați la plotter-ul de diagramă în căutarea unei soluții mai prietenoase pentru viitor? Da, se poate face… este o idee bună? Să aflăm… Acesta este ideea aici, un experiment constant… #boat #45 #boatbuild #boatbuild #sailing #arcticsailing #boatbuildproject #aluminiumboat #boatparts #sailingboat #boatbuilding #electricboat #electricyacht #kite #aluminiu –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– SeaJet Silicon AntiFowl- Articol PBO: https://www.pbo.co.uk/projectboat/seajet-bioclean-silicone-antifoul-review-77824 MJ Sasiling YT Video: https://youtu.be/wus9JbqwWHo?si=B70Zkxbq-i9ORMh621kg Ultra https://youtu.be/CJtMJrK9UZ4?si=Dx8zmOL1WieX8uwD https://youtu.be/1SZgxLZ–jk?si=uDkCqERWD7e0cQhi Orca- Sailing Fair Isle YT Video: https://youtu.be/D6anZgxLZ–jk?si=uDkCqERWD7e0cQhi Liberty?

Beyond the sea and especially the connection with Yves Parlier is a very interesting way to go.
Looking forward to do much experimentation! I would think that the slab reef jib could work in conjunction with a jib boom.
Very happy to see you back on the boat. Really looking forward to seeing your progress.
Super stoked about the immediate test of momentum propulsion ( and steering? ) and kite solution to move the boat to England. Looking forward to see how that works out. I'm sure that's the future of cruising (pv decks obviously, and regeneration on the e10's).
I pick up mixed signals on the rigging/sails choices. Sounds like you (and everyone else) think the extreme racing route is the way to go. In my opinion cruising/ expedition yachties should take a real look at David Tyler's work and experience with designs of "modern" Chinese lug (aka Junk) rig's. Search for Tystie soft wing junk rig.
Anyway, a comment for the ai to chew on and my best wishes for the end of 2025. 🥳👋🇧🇻
Carbon mast, twin rudders, and now a kite sail? This is a floating laboratory of sailing innovation. Love it
Chris good that you tied the ladder but it should extend a metre above the gunnel acts as a stable rail for getting on and off the steps. Sorry for being nag don’t want you hurting yourself again,from retired roofer. Really looking forward to the fit out
Pairing a long flexible hose with the manual pump that you can move around to the point that it is needed will save a ton of installation time and weight.
Hard to imagine life without a rolling furler. Will be interesting to see what you come up with in the end. 👍
I thought the smoke in the background was coming from the van for a second
Lot’s to think about in this episode… I seem to remember that ultrasonic vibrations are used in fatigue testing to speed up aging of the material… not sure I remember all details… could be worth checking before using these vibrators 🙂
Will an alu anode work with an alu boat. Thought that the anode had to be a less pure metal then you material you want to protect.
Cool ideas, mate! I'm currently on the hunt for a biozid free anti-fouling. There are two questions holding me back from silicone based anti-foulings: Does it actually not cross contaminate (by touch) onto surfaces I might want to paint (wooden decks)? And how complicated is it to fix/re-apply the coating? Of course that's a no brainer based on the manufacturers statements. But is it actually?
Totally support the plan to try non furler slab reefing headsail. That was all there was when I started sailing in the seventies. I seriously think the only real reason furlers have become the “only” choice is that they’re expensive, so all dealers push them to make more money. The idea is that it’s “so easy to use”, and that you can reef them. Reality is that furlers are a PITA. Sailmakers love seeing partially furled (“reefed”) headsails, since it means they will soon sell another sail. Furler reefing is a fat lie!
And then there’s the fact that hank on sails with a slab reef is super easy to do, as long as we have our methods sorted. And it’s indestructibly simple, light and cheap. For the record: I’m absolutely not a traditionalist. I’m a speed fanatic with a history as a professional racer in the extreme multihull classes in France in the nineties. That’s where I learnt that simplicity beats all else.
The carbon mast is an obviously good choice. Way lighter, stiffer and more robust than anything else. I’ve been on boats loosing their mast about 20 times. Many of them have been very extreme boats, where things break every race, so it’s less strange than it seems, but it gives a feel for what works or not, and why that is. In a mast tube stiffness and lightness is King. No discussion. Carbon does that a mile better than anything else. Especially if you go for a bit higher modulus fiber, but price goes up quickly…
Carbon standing rigging was in use in my heyday 30 years ago, but quite experimental and very vulnerable to unexpected loads. It’s gotten far better, but I still don’t really trust it. I would probably prefer steel rod where high tension was needed, like shrouds, Dyform wire in the headstay, for more robustness, and Dyneema everywhere else. Dyneema is amazing, as you know.
The kite is a good solution, of course. However, without a keel you cannot move towards the wind. Even with a keel that’s a challenge, since the kite is probably not an advanced profile. They have prioritised stability, not low drag and glide angles. I’d guess that with a keel you can approach a real sailed angle of 90 degrees off dead downwind. I have 30 years of kiting experience too, also on snow. Yes I’m a full on sailing nerd. 😅
Strangely I’ve never heard about that manual pump. Looks great! Thanks! The surfacing material you plan to use on the hull looks nice. I’m generally sceptical to painting aluminium, but that stuff looks different. Delos have used it on their new cat too.
It all sounds great, but I have no idea what you are talking about! 😂
I swear to Poseidon I hope that sponsors and partners pay you at least 20% more than "influencers" because of how fucking legit you are.
It's just unfucking deniable, and the viewers are here for it.
I was sure you would put in an engine from a VW van for reliability. 😊😊. Big fan of the Orca core but you can’t use it with any computer or tablet. I’ve used one for a year now and it is not compatible with Windows. This can definitely be a problem but it’s works well when it works. I use my phone to control the autopilot.
i want to sail that boat . bigeer wheel or tiler !
Yards near me will not lift a boat with silicone antifouling.
Silent yachts have just crossed the Atlantic in the last week or so, and the skipper Steve Bell has been giving updates on their YouTube channel, including trialling a wingit kite. They were running at 400rpm using 25kW at 5-6kt, when they put the kite up in 15-20kt winds, they got the power consumption down to 10kW for the same rpm & speed. As they get about 9kW from the solar panels they could effectively run on 1kW, and with a 350kWh battery on that, it gives them a very long diesel free range in theory.
I would be afraid of long term damage with the Ultrasonic Anrifowler. If it's is supposed to shake the metal, any place where a weld stops and the parts continue, could be subject to wear from micro amounts of rubbing. I would think anyway. I don't know, it just seems like it could cause problems in some way. Just a thought. I could be way off.
My Ultra anchor on my Beneteau 49, I bought new in 2007, has never let me down over the last 10+ years. My 3/8" and 300 ft of G4 galvanized chain is about 9 years old now and has no signs of corrosion. I'd recommend all chain though to sleep well on the hook.
@15:15 Flying a kite looks nice on the ocean. However there will be some restrictions, especially when the trend kicks off.
For one, on lakes, or in estuaries there can well be a height restriction, p.e. by cables between high-voltage masts (I know, they're not on the channel).
Another will be the end of pictures taken as @21:24 , sailing in close proximity will be impossible, or at least dangerous.
I do like the "if dismasted" idea though.👴😉
Live stream cocktail hour 🍻
As always, very informative! Regarding SeaJet Silicon AntiFowl-PBO, I can confirm that it works great. We’ve only treated our propellers so far, and I can tell you that the silicon-coated surface is only slightly affected by what floats in the water. Cleaning is super easy with a soft brush, and the propellers look like new! SeaJet has some great products, and as soon as I take the boat out of the water next time and have to renew the hull, I’ll treat the hulls in the same way! By the way, I’m from Switzerland, and if you ever need any help, I’m sure I can help! But at the moment, I’m spending the winter in Greece. Let me know, and you guys take care! Cheers John
Are you considering a hard dodger? I think they are a good idea for any boat sailing in higher latitudes. I love the design that Dan and Kina did on Sailing Una.
“Electric propulsion doesn’t work” – tell that to Dan and Kika who have sailed extensively, including to Svalbard on electric propulsion. They are currently refitting with two Ocean Volt electric sail drives and a 50 Kw battery bank. 👍
I am really looking forward to see you looking along the process next year ! 🎉
Bro i'm loving that paint
I love the plan of using a kite and ultrasonic antifaul, but why the hate on electric propulsion, it works beautifully and with a twin rudder setup I would do a twin engine like Sailing Uma's Ocean Volt system.
1 you will have redundancy
2 double the regeneration
Only reasons I see you do a shaftdriven electric engine, if the boat is to big for Pod drives or you don't want to haul out to change engine if that is needed one day.
Tiller or helm I would say is more about deck space than actual sailing as you will have autopilot running for 99% of your sailing, I do however prefere a wheel for helping with my balance when I need to stand up, also my autopilot failed me once and I had to tiller steer for 7 hours straight, which was a pain (had no tiller lock)
Some great ideas, glad to see you are pushing the boat out’ on them!
Slab reefed jib, yes, but…
Only if you can handle it remotely.
I am a lover of modern junk rigs, and have mused about a junk conversion to a foresail. I guess in your case it won’t look right..and too much parasitic drag from all those lines.
Though a Hoyt boom type, with slab reefing led back to the cockpit should work very well.
Then begs the question of a storm jib….
Removable anode…yet another hole in the boat….hmmm
Get Orca v2, much more accurate…
Nice to meet you bro! Nothing wrong with epoxy primer good for the antifoul to stick on. Epoxy is awesome stuff aye mate. I have fibreglass yacht vost me 60k to get hef into water. A lot of osmosis etc worked on. God bless❤
I’m fairly sure you are testing stuff that will already have fairly good data on what works better. But if the reason is just for fun then fair enough. Adding months and months to the project. Love the look of the boat and your concept. No question it will be fab. Also good to see you are using 30m Chain. When you have the room I think the extra stretch in synthetic gives safer holding. 👍. Carbon rig and rigging 👌. If your ever crushing West Coast of Scotland once your up and running would love to see how it all came together. ❤️
I am super curious (and newly subscribed) for updates regarding the kite. I heard that they can go upwind when fitted to a good sailboat, but there are still some performance gaps compared to a mast. Would be marvellous if I could build a trailerable boat with no masts needed…
Fun project, interested in what results will be.
Considering Orca for nav also, then I saw Zora by iNav4u.
Does silicone AF attenuate ultrasound? Mounting sonic modules on running gear was our plan, are you doing the same?
Are you going to install reference cells permanently or lower it down to check the values from time to time to see if it's all ok
10:10 I Only use KISS ~$10aud 1100GPH bilge pumps (ebay/aliexpress) throughout the boat. Triple up/redundancy at different heights in bilge, fresh pump to sinks/showers, grey to wash chain/boat etc. I keep ~6 as spare, easy to swap out if required.
11:10 Be nice to see electronic trialed on patches of raw hull, no anti-foul/etc. One rather than both, otherwise how do you know which performed.
15:30 Ancient China used kites. Anglo Kiteboarding became popular in 80s, with many also (played) used them on boats. It's only today's marketing for profit$ + electronic controls they're becoming better known. Have you seen Parlay vid "IS THIS THE FUTURE OF SAILING??"
No keel + kite? Bold, sir. Very bold. If the engineers say it's doable then that's the last word but the thought of it gives me the willies. Smart on the bilge pumps. I got of bucket of "big name" plastic pumps that embrittled & crumbled in <20yrs.
Without a keel? Germany to the UK without a keel? C'mon, Chris!
One piece of advice from MJ sailing. They rebuild a 37’ Alum boat , and now building a fiberglass catamaran.
He found that buying too many products Before he needed them was a mistake because some things didn’t work and others where out of date or newer versions needed , or plans and ideas just changed! etc.
So on my rebuild I’m going to be buying parts as needed…..
Just a thought cheers Warren
Re live stream…. You could start a wattsapp group? Some sailing channels do that for patreon subscribers???
Cheers Warren
Bla, bla, ….more action man!
carbon rigg????
I think you'll want to line your chain well to prevent corrosion of the chain and boat. Some hard plastic sheets are a practical solution I've seen.
What about an ACCwing sail combined with a kite? That is what I have been looking into…
It’s all super interesting and there are endless possibilities – the difficult bit is making the decision so you can get on and implement. Leaving aside this journey of discovery you are embarking upon (clearly a long term project), what exactly is the intended vessel configuration for transiting the canals and when are you going start executing that work package. Have you got an intended timeframe for getting back to UK? Wishing you both a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2026.🎄
Curious about deck stepped mast and square topped main. Running backs needed if you don't want to rely on aft swept spreader rig which limits boom travel… Not super cruiser-friendly to tend those during a tack?
Will you spec higher weight chain if only 30m? Anchors love to be pulled horizontally. I heard an Antarctic sailor who said which anchor? Doesn't matter if the chain is big enough.
Hope to see a good watch standing station… out of the weather with good vis= healthy crew.
Are you building wind vane/trim tab steering into your steering system? What insulation? Same as your van?
Good luck with your designs.
I have three Johnson bilge pumps. I like them. They have been reliable at a decent price.
Don’t forget to invite for the departure event in Basel, I will attend 🎉
