Well, here's a few weeks of work compacted into a 18min video. We really want to focus on quality over quantity with our videos. Meaning, less fluff and more impactful - move the needle forward types of content. This is totally against conventional RU-vid creator wisdom (produce at least weekly episodes where not too much really happens) but making videos that we can be truly proud of is what we want to do.
We are stoked to share more about our updated cruising plans, more specifics on the projects we have planned and the history of our new boat in the coming episodes!

Why Did you sand off $600 of paint?

@iainlyall6475 6 лет назад

because it was over 10 years old.

@fennecfox987 5 лет назад

doesn't matter that paint wasn't going anywhere, all they needed was a light sanding and a quick repaint.

@spinnaker5514 6 лет назад

I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but you should watch the last few episodes of "Sailing UMA" they just spend thousands of dollars on Lithium batteries for their boat and found out that they only get 1 and 3/4 hours running time at 5 to 6 knots speed. What if you loose your rig? What if you hit several hours or days without wind? What if you're trying to out run a storm? I like the idea of electric, but it's still needs some work as far as I'm concerned.A full tank of diesel will probably last you almost a year with that boat. I have a !GM10 Yanmar that sips a little over a pint an hour at WOT. Can't do better than that! Also, a diesel can make electricity and be used to run a high capacity bilge pump. An electric can only draw your batteries down, then what hand pump for hours offshore? You're going to go to all the work, expense and still not have a system as good as the one you have. You can keep the diesel and always add an electric outboard if you want! Sorry but I think you are crazy taking that diesel out!!! Love you channel and both of you guys, your a great hard working couple and I wish you only the best!

@nickbernstein 6 лет назад

You make some good points, but if I remember correctly, they already removed the deisel, so it's probably a moot point. I think the danger aspect is overrated, but the bilge pump and alternator is a good point. If it were me, I would cruise for a year and collect data about how they use it, and when they do go electric, have a Honda 2k generator as a means of generating electricity just in case.

@nevis1971 6 лет назад

I think they plan to train couple of dolphins and put them into harnesses to help aid in propulsion :)

@spinnaker5514 6 лет назад

There diesel wasn't working, but they had bought what they thought was an exact used replacement for 3000 dollars that was originally a generator motor, which unfortunately wouldn't work for some reason.That's when they decided to switch to electric. You'll never be able to bank enough electric power to motor very far. I'd rather use that solar to power a fridge/freezer or a/c unit. The new multi-stage compressors for refrigeratioin make it possible to run on small solar systems. While a generator is a good idea, it's something else to get stolen, another fuel to carry and something else to store. I wish you the best of luck, but I just don't think that electric is the way to go yet. I'll be watching you guys as always to find out. Hope your not upset with me for being so opinionated. As for going smaller I think it's the right idea with the right boat which you have. What a great boat! You were very lucky to find her! I myself went from a 38' to a 26'. I was so much more happy with the smaller boat, less cost, easier to maintain by one person and easier to handle. Unfortunately, due to health reasons I recently had to sell my sailboat and move to a trawler I just bought a 32' Grand Banks which has 4 solar panels on it! Again, good luck!!!

Being a long time viewer of Mads on the Sail Life channel I had to laugh at your "You guys don't want to see three episodes of us sanding, no-one wants to see that!" comment. Lost count of how many episodes of "Glorious glorious sanding" I've watched over there! Moving onto my own 27 foot boat in a couple of weeks and seeing you guys downsize recently has helped me take the plunge to living on a small boat. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great work!

Looking forward to the progress on the EP. From some of the comments below I am reminded why I don't talk about my boats electric auxiliary online. I'm guessing not one of the negative commenters here have owned a SAILboat with an electric inboard. Please don't get discouraged.

@walterthorne4819 4 года назад

WOW ...A most beautiful cruising yacht ! Unless safety issues were found initially I would go sailing with the ship I had purchased and then evaluate over time the needs of the boat and its new owners. That is a beautiful power plant and I assume significant important ballast for the design. Love your channel.

@rmbooker1 5 лет назад

I’m anxious to see the hydroelectric application in comparison to those that I’ve seen with cities that are using today with units that are in channels, bays and rivers. Of course they are generating electricity for cities or as I have seen placing one in a small waterfall on private property, to generate power for a home. I believe you would be pioneers of this application, since I have not read or seen anyone trying this. Very smart as you sail, you would be generating power to keep the batteries charged. Can’t wait to see your proposed design and implementation.

@goinglooping6600 5 лет назад

I had an outboard on a 25' Catalina sailboat. Do not go with an outboard, if you get into rough water with a short wave set, the outboard will be out of the water as much as it is in the water. Definitely a sub optimal result when you need a motor the most.

@kevinmcneill468 6 лет назад

Having now binged watched the series so far I wish you well. My wife and I live on a 37' Irwin CC with our dog and we'll never probably get out of the pacific northwest, the real one, not just Puget Sound, but I love where you're headed with this and I look forward to your progress.

@islanddreamers9127 6 лет назад

@characterboat22 6 лет назад

I love your sailing philosophy. I often reflect on how much sailing has changed since the advent of auxiliary power and GRP construction. Those two things have allowed boats to get so bloated and complicated and sailing infrastructure (slips, marinas, etc) to change so dramatically. It wasn't long ago that boats had to be smaller, simpler, and more elegant just because they were more work to maintain. But I think in the next few years we'll see a renaissance of that kind of sailing mixed with elegant modern solutions as the economy shifts. Kudos to you guys for being the youtube ambassadors of this revolution.

@HousesBuiltTiny 5 лет назад

Keep up the dream. You guys are fun to watch. Living on your own terms. I've been self employed part time for 35 years. An adventurer first. My wife and I have raised 5 brave sons. Mostly in spaces under 600 sqft. Boats, Treehouses, homemade tents, underground, in a dome, campers, cabins, converted garages, islands... i just asked my wife "what's the most unusually place where ever lived? " she just laughed at me... ;-) we are no leaving our little cabin in the woods this December and sailing to Great Exuma for 6 months? Who knows? The day before we married, May 17, 1986, I told her "i couldn't promise her happiness, but I promise it will be an adventure." 32 years, 27 states, 4 countries, 5 kids, hundreds of animals (horses to parrots) 43 residences, , , man the list goes on, later the adventure continues. Anyway, you guys are awesome possibilitist. What we know is so small compared to everything we don't even know we don't know, the possibilities! We love watching your discoveries. Much like those that our grown children and for wives find. Don't let others simple opinions discourage you. Keep dreaming together. We'll see you out there some day I'm sure.

@brennenmunro499 6 лет назад

Ryan, You are a very fortunate man to have someone love you as much as Kelsey does! You can see this by the way she looks at you, and the way you look at her too! I see this because I have been married to my amazing bride for 31 years now, and it just keeps getting better and better! Sanding is never a "fun" project, but the end result will be worth it for you. You will know that the fittings are correctly sorted, and the new paint should last for some time. I do not have an opinion on the electric vs. diesel, as I have no experience in sailing under those conditions... But I am looking forward to tagging along on your journey with you.

@raybignell 6 лет назад

@smiffy5467 6 лет назад

Electric engine would be fine for a river boat but I wouldn't want one for an offside sailing vessel. The batteries don't have the range and you've got no immediate way to charge them (short of a generator which defeats the object a bit) so you could be stuck mid ocean in bad weather thats a big no no for me.. I would stick with the diesel.. And stay safe guys.

@christiangeiselmann 6 лет назад

Andy Smith Especially on a river (with shores so close, and tight manoevering) I would like to have a reliable and predictable boat engine.

@mozismobile 5 лет назад

Normally ocean weather comes with wind, so they'd likely hve both the wind gen and hydro gen working. In the Doldrums you generally have solar. Sure, with solar you're only barely ticking the engine over but 1 knot beats no knots...

@stargatepioneer 6 лет назад

I'll look forward to your outboard vs inboard electric propulsion decision process. I would think an inboard would make the most sense for reliability, weight distribution and center-line thrust maximization but I'm no naval architect. I'm just a rocket scientist. So I'll be learning along with you guys!

@AbandonComfort 6 лет назад

Pros & cons for everything boat related! No stuffing box, cutlass bearing and fixed prop to slow us under sail with an outboard.

@stargatepioneer 6 лет назад

All things I wouldn't have considered. Thanks for helping educate me through your videos and experiences. Maybe I SHOULD have been a naval architect!

@TheKRISCOPICTURES 6 лет назад

I have an outboard on my 27 foot Albin Vega for cruising, and I really wish that there was an inboard, as when you have choppy waves it "breathes air" to the point that I cannot use it at some angles. It might be different for your boat, as it is heavier and beamier, but I will say that having a motor to get you into a harbour even when its windy is very valuable. I am thinking of an electric inboard too, but I am not sure as I want to be able to use it in the arctic where motoring can be very important.

@appick01 6 лет назад

You already have the prop, shaft, and Cutlass why not use them. You'll just make more work for yourself taking them out. An outboard on a boat this small in even small waves will constantly be coming out of the water causing it to cavitate and over rev. Even and electric one will do this. You will loose boat speed and in the end use far more energy this way constantly working to get the boat back up to your desired speed only to have the prop come out of the water again and the boat slow. With an outboard you're also adding a 90degree gearing so you will loose more efficiency there as well. With the motor low and inside the hull and a straight prop shaft it will be much more efficient. Also you can get a prop that will best match what you need for the speed and torque you will have. On an outboard you are very restricted to the size and shape of the prop you can use. Listen to the guy with the boat 5ft bigger than yours you want it inboard. Also the motor and electronics will be much better protected inside the boat than in an out oars hanging off the stern with waves breaking over it. Also that's the exact place you don't want extra weight is in the bow and stern, it will only worsen the boats motion in the waves( Hobby Horsing). It's already not going to be super great. With the space constraints for battery and the already well documented energy needs for the run times you want, you don't want to start throwing the extra inefficiencies of an outboard in there.

@melee401 5 лет назад

The only outbaord systems I would be interested for blue water in are those small enough to pull and stow inboard after getting out of port. The others work fine until you get pooped on by a breaking wave. Then things might not go so well with em. I knew a guy who did that with a 3HP outboard on a 24' boat. It worked out very well actually for him. Nothing you are going to drive through the doldrums on but enough for most everything short short of getting into Oregon Inlet in a blow.

@thejedijohn 6 лет назад

This may be too late, but as one piece of advice, if you attach a shop vac to your orbital sander you will get about 5x more life out of each sanding disk and there's A LOT less dust to breath in. Pretty much every orbital sander I've come across has an attachment for attaching a shop vac tube. Or if not, its worth buying one. Glad to see you're protecting your lungs with a respirator. Also, your hair is looking great in that opening shot. Well done.

If you guys decide to unstall an electric motor, check out the Seimens emrax motor, strongest e-motor weight to horsepower ratio. They also have solar cell panels you can walk on, I was also thinking you could put on davets to hold a dingy & mount a couple of solar panels there. Can't wait to see it finished & good luck.

@dalejensen5828 6 лет назад

I ask the same question as by others below. Why remove that paint, looked like it well protected the hull, would make a good primer if you wanted to change color. I liked the red/green combo. Working to death after redoing the deck on the bigger boat.

@CorwynGC 5 лет назад

@georgexio5430 5 лет назад

No not if you are going to hard sand and redcoat! Full coating removal is required when the coating has 'failed'. Failure of coating is identified by delimitation and pealing. If this is not occurring it means the bonding between layers is strong. My opinion is if the coating has not delaminated nor pealed after 10 years, there is EXCELLENT coating bonding and so keep it on but do a hard sand to prepare the surface for the new coat.

@susanl435 5 лет назад

IMHO without a diesel engine, you are going to have to be extra careful about anchoring and lee shores. Two famous blue water cruisers of yesteryear who sailed without any engines at all include Larry Pardey and Don Street. However, why not keep your current diesel sailboat engine for a couple of years and see how many times it gets you out of trouble (safety first). Learn to become outstanding sailors first and perhaps then think about an electric motor.

@almarkham3470 6 лет назад

Yep! The oars make sense while y'all are young and full of yourselves, but the reality is you will be looking for easier avenues in just a few years. Nevertheless, y'all are headed in the right direction and enjoy seeing you become what most of us would hope to be. Thank You!

I've been watching Sailing Uma and their experience with electric motor. It has not been easy. The lead acid batteries did not function well with the large AH draw and delivered only 10 minutes run time with a fairly large bank. And they had problems charging them properly. Now they have very expensive Lithium Ion batteries and have much longer run times but their electric forklift battery motor is getting very hot since it was not designed to run constantly for long periods. They could not afford an electric motor designed to power a sailboat. I know you are looking to be green but you do not need much power to move this sailboat thru the water. Please review your diesel vs electric options. A brand new 17 hp Yanmar industrial diesel runs just $2900 on Ebay and sips about .4 gals an hour. Converting it to marine use requires your current transmission, a water to water heat exchanger and a raw water pump (I'd suggest a variable speed 12v magnetic drive water pump) . At 6 knots, 20 gals of diesel would last 50 hrs and take you 300 nautical miles. If you get an electric motor for your dinghy you can always use that as a backup.

Douglas Robbie: Whilst what you say may be accurate, I think that you are putting a negative slant on their experiences; they do not seem fazed at all by what they have done and are happy to buy the cheaper Lithium Ion batts (cheaper cos economies of scale). As for the motor, it cost them $100 over 3 years and they are ready to replace it now.

@adamff280 6 лет назад

Umm, James, 'cheaper', yes, because they were donated... And yes, not 'fazed', since they admittedly only docked 4 times in that 3 years...

Lot's of boat channels that are always sailing. I'm good with this one being a This Old Boat fix up channel.

@artsmith103 6 лет назад

Douglas Robbie Right idea but 8 mpg is probably a little optimistic so 20 gallons might go 160 miles. The notion of a cruiser having an electric fuel tank is 100% ignorant. Day sailors to navigate the same daily channel in/out of the marina might be a good idea.

@JamesBu11 6 лет назад

adamff280: Who said that they were donated to Uma? They are cheaper because they last longer and produce more power and in addition the are lighter, like I said economies of scale. They wanted to live on the hook its their way of life.

i actually like the process of seeing people sand... mainly cuz i dont have to do it lmao.... but its satisfying watching the old paint come off. loved the edit. i cant believe it took so long!!! love your vids guys. keep up the good work. cant wait until the next project video!

@danschmitz4699 6 лет назад

Why remove bottom paint? Looked pristine and boat hasn’t been in water. Great project, look forward to seeing your improvements.

@AbandonComfort 6 лет назад

We needed to get the boat down to gelcoat to remove sea cocks & thru hulls then seal up the ones for the head & engine. Also, bottom paint is over 15 years old and we're doing coppercoat. The real stuff. Not DIY coppercoat.

@Josef_R 6 лет назад

Why?

@SteelDoesMyWill 6 лет назад

Because they don't need a raw water inlet for a diesel engine they won't have, and they don't need a discharge for a marine toilet they won't have. Electric propulsion and composting head don't need these thru-hulls. And for Dan above, certain types of anti-foul paints loose their biocide ability when exposed to open air. When you paint an ablative bottom paint you need to get in the water within a day of being dry. That paint was on the hard for 10 years, it was worthless.

@Josef_R 6 лет назад

That doesn't answer why they needed to strip the bottom to remove some thruhulls. The paint being worthless was not the answer, since they didn't say that in the first place.

Love the all electric idea.. And if worst come to worst, you could always buy one of the small 800W Inverter Generators, just in case of an emergency.. I hope all is well, and that you both have a wonderful weekend.. Peace!

@patmurphy389 5 лет назад

hey! i just stumbled on your channel, i have to say that is one of the most beautiful boats i have seen yet!(i have been looking at sailboats for a while now, there is one in chattanooga that is a wooden boat, but much bigger, needs work, that is similiar to yours), you all have set a goal for yourselves & i pray you reach it, which i'm sure you will) Awesome boat find!!!! please keep us updated on everything! thank you for your service!
