It must be because it has no power source except for the radio waves it picks up. Anyhow keep it up. You guys are a hoot.

@ronb6182 27 дней назад

I don't understand the fear of lightning rods we had them on our farmhouse. Lighting would strike the one rod on the kitchen chimney. The center of the main part of the house was untouched. You can see black marks on the one rod. We witnessed two strikes at two different times. I guess lightning never strikes twice. LOL the lightning rod company would do an inspection once in a while. Didn't matter who owned the house. It was lifetime inspections. You would hear a ping then a second later comes the big bang noise. Awesome experience because it's from God. 73

We weren't allowed to even sleep in the tent that was set up in the woods, Mom had to be able to walk back without ducking under branches to the tent. The carpet beetles did a number on the tents screen and canvas. So that ended that idea. I had cleared out a spot back there years before the tent went up. There was a sistern with frogs in it. We used to pour gasoline on top of the water and light it. Thank SeaWorld for that idea. Flames on top of the water. Only difference they used natural gas we used gasoline which was dangerous. 73

@jerryrobinson6513 Месяц назад

What's up, guys? I may help you out if you have made any other changes. The daggerboards should not be so long. Tey are for side slipping when you are sailing. You could cut them in half, and you might turn faster. And they should be painted with epoxy paint they don't last long being raw wood. It would be best if you put a rudder on both pontoons to work correctly

@MoneyPitBoating Месяц назад

Yo! Thanks for the comment! We are going to do some adjusting on them in the summer, so stay tuned! Thanks for watching!

@keithtaylor6259 Месяц назад

You should have coated the wood with a thick coat of fiberglass😊

@MoneyPitBoating Месяц назад

Indeed we should have. We don't have any fiberglass experience yet, so it will be good to learn. The next version will be either aluminum or fiberglass probably. Thanks for watching!

@brianrepp6283 Месяц назад

Your boat is made to sail downwind only. You need to install a keel. A keel is like an underwater sail. If you can imagine sailing to be similar to you squeezing an ice cube between two fingers. One finger is the wind pushing against the sail. The other finger is the keel pushing against the water. As the two forces push against each other, the ice (your sailboat) gets pushed out and shoots away from you. I'd guess your keel needs to be 3-4 feet submerged underwater and should probably be at least that wide. I'd keep the thickness somewhere around an inch if you are using plywood. If you could come across a sheet of 1/4" steel, it would also help keep your boat upright as a counterbalance too.

@MoneyPitBoating Месяц назад

Yeah, we had some daggerboards that worked a little bit when we tipped the sail, but we need to revamp things... stay tuned and thanks for watching!

@MoneyPitBoating 29 дней назад

@craigkirby9202 Месяц назад

Maybe drop the rudder and just use a tiny amount of power to the prop for steerage. The lowest speed you can set it to should give you steerage. Also if you have two sails, one at the front and one at the back you can steer by setting your sales to catch different amounts or air. So you can steer a sailing boat with two ropes from inside the cabin. One to the back sail, and one to the front. If you are planning a sail with some shape rather than just a big square to go downwind, your fastest point of sail would be from the left or right at 90 degrees. This means by setting more power to the rear or front sail, you can change which way the sucker will go. I think the rudder is going to trash your motor mount. But by far the easiest way is to just run the motor at the lowest speed you can (as long as that's faster than your boat is moving.

@MoneyPitBoating Месяц назад

You are a man of logic! Thanks for sharing your great ideas about the double sails and rudder. Also, thanks for watching!

Those holes in your cavitation plate would be a good spot to mount a rudder. Rudders dont need to be deep. You can use long instead (to a certain extent)

@MoneyPitBoating Месяц назад

We were thinking that too... What are the holes actually intended for?! We can't find any information on them!

@craigkirby9202 Месяц назад

@@MoneyPitBoating I dont know, but I just had a look on google images, and a lot of them have downward pointing sides. I'm guessing this would stop air being sucked in from the sides, shroud the prop (better power at low speeds from a ducted prop (maybe)), or perhaps the downward pointing fins stop pressure leakage off to the side if you are using it to raise or lower the back of your boat... ie using it like a wing. When you build pressure under a wing, and low pressure above the wing you create lift. And like those tops on the wings of a plane's wings, a fin might stop some of that pressure bleeding out over the sides. So perhaps they are to attach fins to stop that. But I dont know, that's just a guess. Your holes are in a strange place if that's what they are for. But it would be pretty easy to mount a rudder on them. Just a couple of "L" shaped brackets and a bit of wood. Bolt it down.... or use chewing gum in your boat's case :) My boat looks more like something that fell of the back of a different boat in the movie water world, so that's said out of respect :)

If you double the PV, which it looks like there's room for up top, you could run a decently powerful electric boat motor straight from the panels all day long. That seems like a better way to go than the sail, which didn't do a whole lot to move the boat vs. just letting the sun do the work.

You cant freeze fully charged lead acid batteries. Just to know ;) The chemistry inside does not freeze like water. " A fully charged battery should not freeze until about -94°F (-70°C). A battery that is at about 50% DOD will freeze around -13°F (-25°C), and at a 75% DOD it will freeze at about 9°F (-13°C)"

Need a turnbuckle.for the main guy line/ wire.& wrap the eye the line goes through & the line together with flexy tape thats safe with electrical power in case of lightning or power lines . A pair of turnbuckles with a D ring link between could work but a ... Caribiner might work temp. ? For emerg. mast lowering . Oh!! A pivot pin! ( or a locking elbow joint , but only if the sail is furled first .)

Sail kinda blocks the panels light, maybe lol it needs to be made of that fabric that you can get a tan right through! Lol( if that ability isn't simply a factor of tiny perforations in the cloth which would render it less effective as a sail )

@MoneyPitBoating 25 дней назад

Also, that would be expensive, and out of our price range. Good idea though!

@JK-zl7vv 2 месяца назад

As far as your sail goes, wouldn't had been better to make an awning that hangs over the front of the deck, but have pivots on each end, so you could just swing the awning straight up, and lock it in that position, so it now becomes your sail, and when your in electric mode, your sail now becomes an awning again, and this way your sail has supports on each side, not just one in the middle as you have on your sail, plus, deployment transformation is much easier, and if you want to get creative, you could add linear electric actuators to move it from awning to sail and back. 😁👍

you have solar that collects more energy than your engin can use, but for some god bless your heart reason think making it a sail boat is a good idea?

@MoneyPitBoating Месяц назад

Thanks for reaching out! This is a common misunderstanding... We have 1000 watts of solar panels. They collect 1000 watts at the PEAK time, only for a moment, in the summer, when the sun is the highest point. Normally we get 200-800 watts in cloudy Michigan. Our motor can use 6000 watts. This is why we added a sail. Free propulsion... Even at night! Hope this helps clear things up, and thanks for watching!

@nsightnc Месяц назад

Look at normal sail boats and compare the sail size to the mass of the boat body. So much more sail to the body of the boat. It comes to geometry. You need a lot more sail availability to catch wind.

You are correct! We have plans for bigger sails, so stay tuned!

How do you guys trim your motor /w that mount? if you had the ability to trim it, you might be able to get a little bit more performance out of that motor.

@MoneyPitBoating 23 дня назад

We can raise it up and down pretty good with a normal pull handle type action, but we actually broke the part on the motor that allows for good tilting. More performance would be nice, but we understand that we're probably not going to set any records other than ugliest boat. Thanks for watching!
