Days 11 through 16, Pacific Crossing 

Andrew Jones i think if i spliced the rope instead of having it tied in a figure eight know at the generator end it would calm down the vibration. Also the bearings are pretty warn out so that doesnt help. Thanks for watching.

The main reason for not running it from the aft cleat is that you need the angle from forward to actually prevent it from an accidental jibe. On the aft cleat you would still get about 120 degrees of travel which is enough to remove Nathan's thick head. The best would be if Slick had cleats amidship, but she doesn't. Thanks for watching. More videos soon.

Mushekfly i have solar panels now, this makes a huge difference as we can also have cold beer and ice cubes. but to answer your question, the tow generator powers all the electronics including the autopilot. Thanks for watching.

+Diane Rabin You tow it behind the boat and as you sail it generates power, although the one i had didn't generate so much.

+humdrummed I am 55 and been thinking a lot lately about trying something like this got to have your dreams

+Richard Feldman I met tons of guys doing this even late into their 70's. Old retired couples, families, teenagers, crazy soloists, all sorts, all ages, all income classes. Go for it!

thank you slick i just may.. really want to

1962moe The lines are (were) fairly new at the time. The Isomat has-head is poorly designed with only an aftermarket spin-crane available. Also the rest of the lines just rub on things so you have to watch out.

ok well i hope that you have taken care of that and that you have clear sky and full sails
