The first SOLO adventure 

Thanks Jussi, a new one will come this week

@@SailingAurora Awesome. I can really relate to your content, because if all goes well my sailing adventures will also start this season, but in Finland :-)

Thanks, it's fun alot of the time

Thanks very much. They will be coming up soon

Glad to hear, thank you

Hey Peter. More videos to come don't worry, next week it's the padeye install. Thanks for the compliments :)

Hi Jon, This was a little in the past, but she is still looking good :) hope Tranquility is doing fine also. Funny you should mention the radiators, we bought one this year to keep the noise down from the fan, it works brilliantly.

Thanks very much. New videos to come soon. Technical video will be released next Friday

@@SailingAurora Excellent, looking forward to that! 😊👍

You are welcome!

Yes! Thank you!

Yup, it's good to have the boat nice again :)

Thanks very much, glad I can give someone something to take away :)

Thanks very much, it's great to be releasing videos again

Cheers

Thanks!

That could be a thing...

Hi Magnus, Thanks, it's good to be. back on RU-vid again, much more to come. Glad we made you smile, the video after the next one will be about Midsummer, it should be fun. Hope to see you guys again this summer. BR Chris

Thanks Olle, lots more videos to come and glad you like them. There will be a regular release interval now until the start of summer.

Hi Joakim, finally found the time to start with the channel again :) I hope you are well

Thanks, it's been a busy year but now have some time to edit :)

Happy new year! Thanks

Thank you

Hi Tony, so sorry for the late reply here. I actually modified something that should connect on the push pit and then put a rubber door stop on it. I believe is was something like this that I modified: www.erlandsonsbrygga.se/Hemsida/Bat_Pa_Land/Tackstallning_Beslag/Noa_Tillbehor/NOA-FASTE_MARIN_ELOX_25MM?id=06540 Don't quote me on the bar diameter though, I am just looking from my memory. I hope this helps, Cheers,Chris

Hi, with our setup you have to pull the outhall pretty hard to get the sail to start moving out. When it starts moving, if there is heavy wind, the wind will take the sail out pretty fast and before I can get to the other side to lock it off the sail will already have come all the way out, so there needs to already be a little resistance on the furler so it's controlled. I guess it's a little different depending on how easy the sail furls on each boat. As for the rachet, it's for peace of mind, I don't trust locking the furling ropes on the winch as much as I trust the rachet lock. You got me thinking there for sure, cheers

@SailingAurora OK. I have the same selden mast and system. I have jammers/locks in the furling line, I just pull the furling line to good tension, and that's it. I have never used the rachet possibility. The worst wind I have been is a bit over 50 knots with two reefs and no problem with the sail. My lines are on the roof, so I have all the lines in a small space.

Hi Ole, thanks for the advice. I have tried everything to make it easier with the endless furler including coming off the wind a little. It's always more difficult because of the FCL sails we have, they are much stiffer than Dacron and take some man handling both in and out. I can use the endless furler but it just takes ages to do. If the water wasn't flat calm I would use that approach even if it takes a long time. Thanks for the complement also. Will try to keep the videos streaming out weekly or at worst bi weekly until the summer. BR Chris

@@SailingAurora Yes if struggle with a thick fabric in your main it can be hard, quality and thickness of the taffeta fabrick has all to say for easy handeling, maybe upgrade to a electric winch? If your sail is wet and swollen it might me harder as well.

@@olekristoffersen9298 I have bought a electric drill adaptor specifically to wind it in quickly. I haven't tested this yet though, must remember to try it, you need a faily powerful drill machine though.

Hi Sanna, thanks very much. Yes, we can furl the main from the cockpit also, but with the winch it generally takes alot longer and is alot harder to do. In heavy weather I would definately stay in the cockpit to furl the main. Cheers

Hi Alex, no I just added a stopper on the hand rail at the top to stop the door from going into the cabin. Chris

thank you so much

It's a great little aircraft :)

Gott nytt år! I will start releasing videos regularly from now until the beggining of summer, glad you like them.
