Sailing around britain to the solent and back solo

Welcome to Cactus sailing where we are sailing the uk, and sailing uk waters, This season we’re heading west to the scilly isles but in future we hope to go sailing and travel further to France or Spain.
Our true ambition is to go sailing around the world cruising along the way in our sailing boat, although our boat might not be up to getting to the Mediterranean (for our comfort levels anyway)
To that point we may change the Bavaria 30 in the future for a bluewater sailing yacht or a liveaboard boat which we can live full time.
But for now the English channel is our ocean and...

    I did not see you change the fuel prefilter; do you not have one? I recently bought a boat, an old one, with literally no acces to the fuel tank, but had to go sailing. Fortunatelly the previous owner left me a few spare parts including filters. I had to change the prefilter/water separator twice, due to the gunk from the fuel tank.

    Nice boat. I'm actually impressed with the forward V Berth. Sensible Height. Ny last boat it was a right struggle to get upmintonthe V Berths, and there was real Danger of falling out. For Toast, you can get cheap stainless toasters that pop on top of a gas burner, though you have to watch out for burned toast. Easy to get in the swing of though. Well done on the size of the House Battery Bank , 👍something handy like plastic bags to greatly reduce the space things like sleeping bags and clothes take up, is Vacuum heavy duty bags. Put stuff in, like bulky Warm Winter Winter gear, sleeping bags etc, and with a hand pump, you extract all the Air. What a difference. I could get all bulky stuff regularly used into seperate vacuum Bags in the V Berth locker, and spare dry sleeping bags and such under a saloon Seat. A Great Boat for where you are based and with a Marina Berth. Years of fun and Adventures ahead. Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob. 👍🙂

    I operate a D1-13 and have twice experienced overheating. Both times while motor sailing on a port tack. Engine hours @ 170. I have ordered a new thermostat but before I install that I will raise the expansion tank like you did here. Glad I saw you video on the topic of overheating. Thanks

    Excellent video thank you. We experience the same problem with overhiting, same symptoms after wavy sailing, so planing to apply your fix too. I can see in comments it works for you. We have another issue there, it looks the coolant disappears and we have to refill it quite often, but no sign of any leakage, no signs of the coolant in the oil, nothing. We refill the coolant and keep it over the max even, we noticed it helps a bit with the overhiting issue, which may prove your theory as well, even if you proved it already 😉

  • @BobbieGWhiz
    @BobbieGWhiz 2 года назад

    I’m a bit of a newbie and have a symmetric spinnaker on my 28 foot boat that I just bought. It has a pole, but I’d prefer not to deal with that. Why do you need the ATN Tacker mod that goes around the furled foresail? Why can’t you just attach the tack line to the bow area of the boat? Thanks very much. I also saw a episode of SV Delos: Flying a kite through New England..where they just fly a symmetric spinnaker without any pole. Seems a lot simpler than using a pole. Any thoughts?

    • @CactusSailing
      @CactusSailing Год назад

      It holds the tack, hence the luff of the spinnaker close to the center line of the boat and it can be adjusted up and down with your down haul / tack line for trim. also on some boats, securing the spinnaker tack to the deck is not the best way to set the sail. It is too low and the foot of the spinnaker will chafe on the bow pulpit, the tacker keeps it out the way and makes for an easy transition onto the other side. if what you have works for you, no need to overcomplicate it.

  • @kevinbond3858
    @kevinbond3858 2 года назад

    Personally I wouldn’t put fuel from the old filter into the new filter and I’d use fresh oil to lubricate the seal. Also use the glycerine lubricant for the impeller and i give the impeller cover a quick lap on some very fine wet and dry to ensure any bits of the gasket stuck to it are removed. 👍

    Our alarm goes off and the overheating symbol comes on. We have done everything, to no avail, except replace the thermostat but, our schematic doesn't show us where it is and where we thought it was, wasn't where it is. we have the D1-20. help anyone?

    • @CactusSailing
      @CactusSailing 2 года назад

      Can’t post a picture on here, but if you google d1-20 workshop manual it will help identify where you need to look, thermostats all look similar. You can always just put the thermostat in boiling water once it’s out the housing to see if it opens, saves swapping out good parts needlessly. Could just be something simple like a dirty heat exchanger, or if it’s happening when you heel over etc could be like ours in the video. It’s not really something you can diagnose remotely

  • @Smilliztho

    Thank you for this video. I’ve got the same boat and engine so this I perfect for me! You guys seem fluent in engines which I am far from, so I have a question. When we bought our boat (fall 2020) the engine room was spotless. After just one summer of sailing there is a fair bit of black soot all over the engine and the walls. Is this normal or is something wrong?

    • @CactusSailing
      @CactusSailing 2 года назад

      Black soot could either be a tight belt and it’s belt dust or, you have a leak in the dry exhaust system somewhere, should be sootier where the leak is. But black dust on the engine is not normal, good luck 🤞

    @willarddevoe5893 2 года назад

    Astonishingly classy, thought out, and suitable. Please check that the port side batteries are not wired in parallel as a lot of boatyards are stupid to keeping batteries isolated or in series. (6 volt golf cart). A much smaller set is possible if not wired in parallel. A second small solar panel is desired as the essential one can get broken mid-voyage. A spare Hong Kong 12 volt chest fridge is a good addition. The smallest ones give best sub freezing.

      I think that one is the imray iow and Solent approaches chart portfolio, you usually get 6/7 in the pack and it covers a fair few miles but they’re the right scale I find.
