Great video, thanks for sharing. I'm in a similar situation myself, about to fit an IP22 on my boat, but trying to figure out cable size is a bit of a nightmare! It looks like you've oversized the cable by a fair bit? Can I ask what size cable you used? I've calculated I need 6mm2, but have gone for slightly bigger 10mm2 grade DC cable, but thinking should I go bigger again?
I think I used these cables amzn.eu/d/acd5tjq
Actually that was what I used for my solar, here is the Amazon wire link I used for my mains battery charger amzn.eu/d/0sZcT0d
More than enough space Sir, you know what you doing🫡
She is looking terrific. Sure i read somewhere they were doing work at glasson dock ,would you move if it was possible Nick?
Thanks Ian, paid up to December at Fleetwood and I do t want to risk glasson unless the can guarantee no more gate issues.
Hi there, have you experienced the battery get very hot? I have just got one for a coffee van and was slightly worried about where to have it in the van / leave it plugged in overnight as I have heard they get quite hot
I have not experienced this now, all been good 👍
I'll be honest I think it's been a bit more than 'a couple of years' since Sea Star has been out of the water....Top job to get her back looking as good as new! (You could have maybe done a 'time lapse' of how long it 'really took' to get Sea Star looking like that again,,,..🙂 👍 Interested to know how much that would have cost if you had got a boat yard to do that for you)
Thanks 🙏 about 2.5 years approx been in water. She’s been out the water a week and a half. But I’m a hard worker 🤣
@@SailingSeaStar_ I’m a hard worker 👍🙂 🤣I never doubted that. Pretty amazing that parts of the keel is back to bare metal in 2.5 yrs 😲 (and the fowling to the prop and rudder... (Full disclosure, I know nothing about sailing or yachts apart from what I watch on YT) about 2.5 years approx been in water. I'm guessing the last time it was done, it was not done as thouroughly as you have been 🤔
Yes I think so, I also have used better antifoul and primer coat than was used in past. Should be all good now
Thanks Nick, not sailed boats at all, from Preston originally and spent lots of time at the docks, just watching, interested to see how you go on, but my interest has always been motorcycles, and have watched your M/c channel regularly, so the adventure begins, I visit fleetwood quite a bit so will be watching out, I live in Heysham now over looking the bay and have good view to barrow, take care catch you soon Ted
That’s amazing. What a transformation. 👌
Brilliant job, looks immaculate now, and presumably more efficient when sailing.
Thanks 🙏 hope so now 🤣👍
I wondered what that type cutter did. What a good idea. Very satisfying TV. Looks great.. Alot of sanding there, I bet your hands are still buzzing like doing 70mph on a sinnis terrain.... Luckily you never had to do that 😂
🤣🤣👍 yes a couple weeks but done now. Cheers 🍻
I hope you don’t mind me asking what type/model is the sail drive? Curious also to know what brand is the rope cutter?
So it’s not hat came on boat Volvo Penta, the rope cutter is from a U.K. company Ambassador Marine, Google will find them 👍
@@SailingSeaStar_ Thanks for the info !!!
Looks a lot better nick. How hard is it to rename a boat? Is it a lot of paperwork or just a case of painting over original and renaming what you want? ( Triumph of the sea) keeping in theme with your tiger and bonneville.
Easy really just contact correct department and rename but I’ll keep it as is 🤣🤣👍
@@SailingSeaStar_ Rename a boat 😲😲😲 I think Sea Star is a great name anyway. 🙂
It's bad luck to re-name a boat. Allegedly
I was wondering what that device was on the prop. Thanks for educating me. Nice tidy job done there and looking good.
Thanks 👍
Looking great!!
Thanks 🙏
Looking good 👍 . Didn't know they had a rope cutter. Interesting.
Aftermarket rope cutter from ambassador Marine UK, cutter and anode
Fleetwood marina
I know you seemed to have mostly solo motorsailed, but how does this boat single hand with sail handle? Really interested because that's my future iintention. Thanks
Hi 👋 yes she is a good boat to do nearly all from the cockpit. So makes an easy ish solo sail boat. If one thing that would make it easier would be in mast furling on main. 👍
I'm looking at sailing the same boat over to the Caribbean. So of course I've subscribed and clicked the notify 🔔. Lol
Awesome 🙌 thanks for the sub, 36 foot boat is a decent size to sail across Atlantic
Congratulations Nick,liked and thanks as always..
Thanks Ian
Congrats Nick.. Full stream ahead👍
Cheers bud 🙏👍
How much was it to do in Greece?
There are two prices, £900 for the sofa bed in saloon or if you want your own cabin it’s £1,200
@@SailingSeaStar_ thanks, not bad when you consider it is accomodation and the course.
Only other expense is provisioning for food but mainly lunch and water as you tend to eat out at tavernas in the evening.
Well done Nick on passing your RYA exam and you are now equipped for future sailing expeditions. 👍
Many thanks and yes so happy it’s done and looking forward to adventures on the sea
Congrats on passing Nick. Safe sailing. 😀
Many thanks 🙏
Sat at home watching this while it's pouring down here in Hest Bank.
Yes please!
Was very nice 👌
Lol. You park your boat where you want no one owns the beach or the sea.
Great video, thanks for that. Just a question, are your two batteries the same technology or different? I mean, both lead or one lead and one lithium?
Both are lead acid
@@SailingSeaStar_ Am I right that the charger would not be able to laod two different bat types?
As far as I am aware, official writing is: Victron Energy chargers typically require all batteries to be the same chemistry type and compatible with the same charge algorithm. This means that Victron chargers may not be able to charge lithium and lead acid batteries at the same time
Hope your trip and license go well,look forward to that.Liked and thanks as always Nick..
Thanks Ian, looking forward to it 👍
Very interesting. Thank you. A nice boat! Cheers James
Thanks for tuning in James 🙏
Interesting video, I use the tablet dehumidifier too , but also the wardrobe hanging ones that work well to keep clothes dry, they’re readily available on Amazon. The boat’s looking amazing, all your hard work is paying dividends. Thank you for the updates.
Cheers 🍻 I didn’t know re the hanging ones and will take a look 👀
Liked and thanks as always Nick..
Cheers Ian
Hi Nick, (new follower to your channel). Your first family sail looked very pleasant. At least you got a decent weather window. So far the summer has spring/ summer has been very poor and unpredictable. Just watched a couple of your other videos. Very informative. Look forward to sailing adventures. Fair winds. ⛵️👍
Hi Paul, many thanks for tuning in. Yes, the summer hasn’t really come this year. I’m not sure what whether we’re gonna get moving forward.. But we try to make the most of what we have. A few more upgrades yet to do on the boat before it’s ready for some real adventures. Thanks again, Nick.
You lot looked happy as Larry on there. Will done, no reverse crashes either is always a bonus😂🎉
🤣🤣👍 thanks and yes on the water is my happy place always has been. Don’t do crashes 🙏👍
All I can think of is with 3 females, do you ever get into the bathroom in the morning? I only had 2 & was in the yard more often than not....
Nice little sail out with the family, sounds a bit windy and hope it was not too cold for summer.... 😎⛵
Thanks 🙏 winds were good 👍 tad cold for summer, I guess we have to wait for summer next year as it seams to have missed us this year 🤣
What a way to spend a day… looking forward to many more sailing trips. 😊
Many thanks, was a good day. 👍⛵️ cheers 🥂
Nothing better! Well, maybe a long bike trip perhaps. Boat looks immaculate! Great job!
Thanks Ivan, agree on the long bike ride 🤣👍 cheers 🥂
What a great way to spend a day-out with the family. Quiet and peaceful, great scenery and plenty of fresh air. The yacht looks to be handling well and looks immaculate.
Thanks 🙏 yes had a great day out. Cheers 🥂
Hi Nick saw you out today I was out too had a great sail around H2 then Lune Cardinal back around F 4 and back into the marina these buoy s are on the chart should be easily spotted. Are you staying onboard, I am going out tomorrow light wind. Mike (Pagets Lady Westerly Corsair 36’
Hi Mike, yes just a little one out today and first time the family had been out of the marina since we got the boat. I just followed you all round today 🤣 only had the Genoa out today not the mainsail. I’m not out tomorrow as work to do but looking at next weekend.
Nick you need a Smart BMV to get all battery details including engine battery
Thanks Mike and nice to meet you today. Yes I plan to order one shortly 👍
Hi Nick this is Mike we just met in the fish dock, I think you said somewhere that your charger doesn’t show the engine battery voltage, your charger should be connected to the engine battery if it has a terminal for both banks. Hope to see you out sailing soon. Mike
Yes connected to all thanks 👍
Looks so relaxing thank you for the insight
Questtion on this MPPT controller. I hae 2 house to start batteries on my boat. Got to the boat and app said they were floating. Showed 20v from 2 100 watt panels 0 amps. When my boat is running my battery monitor shows -1.59 amp draw? Why? The voltage is 14.8 from motors. Shunt is installed correct to a neg bus bar. All house loads are off during readings. This also has a ACR
I’m not that clued up tbh on these things but when I reached out to their support they got back to me within a day, may be worth asking them. Cheers Nick
She certainly makes use of every space available Nick,liked and thanks as always....
Cheers 🍻 Ian, yes very well thought out spaces. Just getting a weeping diesel injector sorted out with the engineer then hopefully out Sunday for a sail ⛵️👍
Hope you get some great weather for it ..
What do you think about the "wings" created on the terminals produced by the crimper?
Not the best perhaps 🤔 Redbull like wings 🤣
What a sterling job.. 😊
Cheers 🍻
Hi I’ve just found your channel I see your wind masthead unit is on the pushpit do you still have a good reading with it there, only asking I’m doing up a sailing boat without any wind instruments and was thinking of using a weather station on the pushpit. Thanks steve
Hi 👋 and welcome. So my boat when I bought it only had a weather vane on mast, I bought a raymarine vane and transducer wireless version. But prior to sailing the boat to its new harbour I didn’t get it mounted in time to the mast so temporarily mounted on rear rail. It worked ok but have just had this now mounted on the mast. I have seen a few mount on a pole at the rear but imo it would not give accurate reading like on top of the mast. Cheers Nick
Good start. Not enough for me but it gets you places. Definitely go for lithium, they charge faster, are lighter, hold more power and last longer. Totally worth it!
Thanks 🙏 and yes will change the starter and house to lithium and maybe add a second house lithium too
Liked and thanks as always Nick..
Cheers Ian
They are so handy. I just got the Aferiy 2400w for mine and other things…
Cracking little channel on boats that I never thought I would enjoy but loving it so far 👍
Thanks 🙏 means a lot 👍👍
First World problems?.....🤔 How do I provide enough power on this 'old girl' to enable 3 ladies to blow dry their hair, have hot showers, have enough lighting, have TV, music, etc etc etc.....I've stayed on Liveaboard dive boats in the Red Sea since the early '90's to top of the range air conditioned all mod cons around 2008.... I know which I remember the most. It makes you wonder how the guy that originally purchased that beautiful boat coped don't you think? I'm enjoying the sailing more than tne bikes 😲 There, I've said it🙂
