Nearly three years after launching "S.Y. Persistance" we've steamed hundreds of hours and over 2,000 miles in the California Delta. We've made a few changes and improvements along the way.
Our journey hasn't been without various trials and tribulations, but that is for another video... Once I get a proper mic to narrate. Do they make ones for people with voices made for silent movies?
Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoy.
Music is "Brother Will You Spare A Dime" by Rudy Vallee

beautiful antique boat. An large boat with little living space. But that is with all steam boats.

Thank you. Yes the machinery really takes up a lot of space, but the machinery is the main focal point of the whole operation as well. Otherwise, it's just another hole in the water like all the others.

I have seen "Persistance" cruising on the delta several times. I have learned to recognize it from a distance viewing it from bow or stern. That stately classic look always impresses me. Up close, the sound of the steam engine makes the image complete. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! We've seen you and your Golden State Classics around a bit on the delta as well. I think you folks came to the B&W while we were having the steamboat meet one year. Great to see you guys loving and taking care of those boats.

It’s nice to see a proper update on the Persistance again! She looks a lot more like a proper used vessel now with all the little pieces like the curtains, searchlight, vents, etc. If I may, a pair of masts would look nice, though I can understand those possibly causing high problems. I hope to one day own a small steamer like the Persistance, even if I currently know only the basics of operating a steam engine
@WesleyHarcourtSTEAMandMORE
@WesleyHarcourtSTEAMandMORE 3 года назад
Thank you! Every little detail really helps make the whole picture and makes it a lot more comfortable. My father originally had plans for masts, but the covered dock isn't quite tall enough. You're right, masts would be the icing on the cake. We've thought about making mounts so lowering masts would be an option. Perhaps it might still happen.

There are a few folks on youtube here that may be able to help. A couple that come to mind are Windy Hill Foundry, or Keith Rucker.

Bonjour Weslay, How I envy you ! I would be happy to exchange all my babies for your one :+) I especially like the Windermere kettle and the whistle. Thank you to share with us all the details and I have questions : - Have you got a fuel regulator as my models have gas regulators to slow down the fuel at a dedicated pressure whant you stop for a while for example or do you have to manage the heat automatically ? - How much fuel do you need per hour and what is your autonomy ? And I did not understand how many horsepower your compound delivers, I guess not thousands :+). Amicalement, Raphaël
@WesleyHarcourtSTEAMandMORE
@WesleyHarcourtSTEAMandMORE 3 года назад
Bonjour et merci Raphaël. The Windermere kettle makes a cold day of steaming in January a much more enjoyable experience. The burner is steam atomizing and uses really old bio oil for fuel. We manually control the fuel and fire to suit steam demands and to prevent having the safety valve activate. We burn about 5 gallons (19 litres) per hour. We get about 1 gallon (3.8 litres) per nautical mile (KT) of fuel economy. The engine has a bore and stroke of 5"+10"x6" (127mm + 254mm x 152.4mm). That equates to around 35 HP (26110 N-m/s) I believe.

what are the biggest boat dimensions you can consider a launch?

@WesleyHarcourtSTEAMandMORE 3 года назад
Hmmm good question. Mosquito in england is 42' long and considered a "fast open launch" She only has a small canopy and probably displaces a third or Persistance. I think it may have to do with accomodations and displacement.

@@awildjared1396 that's awesome. I've been dreaming of doing the same for 30 years. Check out the websites in the description when you're ready to start planning. Also look up the book "Steamboats and modern steam launches" It was a series of small magazines that covered a lot of people's boats back in the '60's and is considered a must. Buying someone's used boat is a good way to learn also... And they're incredibly cheap for what they cost to build. Good luck and enjoy the adventure!

@@awildjared1396 It sounds like you have given a lot of thought to your plan. I wish I had planned better when I was your age. Don't forget retirement. Good pay is great and all, but without a retirement plan it could all be for naught. Having another supplier like steam traction world, but for marine steam would be amazing.

Topsides? About once a month or so. The dust from the farmers plowing the nearby fields wreak havock on trying to keep stuff clean. The bottom is going to get pressure washed and repainted for the first time in three years this coming week.
