I have been moored in exactly that spot on Ostholmen! Happy sailings!

Great, thank you. Maybe I will use B&G now. I have new boat and B&G Zeus plotter and I must say that it is the worst ever see. It is completely non intuitive. I actually don’t understand that such bad plotter is on the market. Maybe it is usable only on around the world sails :-)

Hi Chris. Thanks for the review on this product. We'll be wintering our boat in Stockholm this year, so this video has come at a good time. I was just looking into covers this morning coincidentally. Cheers, Bryan

Great video. So i'm interrested in knowing which router you chose and how far up from the seawater the antenna was. You most likely were on LTE B20 or a low frequency channel(dont know which bands they use in sweden) Also i see that you might have put the antenna too low, getting interference from the mast.🙂 Did you find a solution for the Sim card and power button?

Thank you for the great information.

Hi, we've been having trouble syncing our Navionics from our tablet to our B&G Vulcan 9 for 12 months. It keeps coming up with an error failing to sync routes and markers. Support hasn't been able to tell us why. I don't suppose you would have an idea as we are completely at our wits end. Regards Shelley

This makes me feel great about our decision to buy an older Swan rather than a (much) newer Beneteau for similar money.

Tips: Secure the bolts using a plastic zip-tie. These are strong enough to prevent the bolt from unscrewing without you noticing it. If a wire is used you are adding a new metal which eventually will start rusting. It's equally easy to spot if the zip is gone.

Hi - thanks for the video. I have a new B&G Vulcan plotter and wanted to do the same function plot a route at home using a Navionics chart and upload to the plotter. Was disappointed when I could not use the Navionics chart on the B&G app - only C maps it would seem. However, found a slightly different way to yours, may be helpful? Use the Navionics app to plot the route, export as an GPX file using (I’m on apple devices) up arrow (share) to the B&G app (don’t have the app on mirror etc), in the B&G app accept the import (yes), then synchronize with your plotter. Route appeared in routes tab on plotter. Easier - Hmmm not sure? Views!

Nice but wish I would have seen more of Finland and less of your face...

Do you still a classic depth fnder? I am about to use the hole of my old transducer for the forwardscan. Is it a mistake?

If you had a keel made that would break up at it's top and deform, you could avoid this anguish, every time you ground your boat. Let the boatbuilders do their magic and don't burden them with foolish ideas like running wiring through the bilge.

The keel top is too narrow. Foolish design.

The depth displayed in maps is usually "lowest-astronomical-tide". Meaning the level of the ocean when the moon is at it's closest to the earth, and manipulating the tide. So if your depth in the sonar ( todays depth ) does not match the map-depth, it just means you are "not currently" at lowest astronomical tide.

Thanks for that. Synching between iPads and the plotter is definitely not the most intuitive process. I will try this method. The last time I did it, I got involved in importing files, which I never would have figured out without reading it on the internet and the manual.

İs the Patrıc need to pro help?😀😀😀😀😀

Thanks, Chris! Always a pleasure watching the channel!

Beautiful cover! I found it a bit pricy and ordered new sails from Elvströms instead. Maybe another year…🤔

Kapell & Annat rocks, everything else sucks ;.)

Hi Chris, if you do have a (“spilerstage telescope - sorry danish) Use it for the tent in front.. Works very fine. 😅

Thanks for great video, yet again! Cinematography is gorgeous, very nice narrative... No false drama, just feel-good stuff!

Always nice with a video from you 😊 Question, what type of life jacket do you have for the dog? We will have our first season with a dog on board so trying to figure out a few things to make it all as easy as possible.

I sure hope you don't blow up the dingy. :D nice to hear that the Swedish has gotten to you as that would be the way to directly translate inflate. :D Like I heard another sailing youtuber accidently saying he was going to screw with the engine.... :D But this footage can't possibly be last season? We were out several weeks (and I even paddled up and said hello to you in Finnhamn), but the weather was so bad that summer that clothes we washed didn't dry for many days as there were always some rain shower on the horizon. We ended up quitting the sailing a week earlier than planned. Let's hope for better weather this year!

It did plane with 4 people cos it had Andy and me in it!

Another great video, thank you

Fantastic well done Chris. Wonderful episode !!!

Never add washing up liquid to a fuel spill.

Kroooog, not kroggg😉

I hope the 2024 summer will be as good as in this episode. Thanks for sharing, and I'm looking forward to your sail comparison next time. Cheers.

Great video 👍🏻

Titta vi flyger/Airplane 😂

Stil waiting for your 2.0 electrik upp date. and i fo love tooo ne the first to coment 👍💪

Hi. Good video to check prior to my mounting of the same in a Dufour 390! Thanks. How did you find out the distance between anchor davit and the through hole + the location of the davit?

👍👍👍👍👍❤

👍👍👍😊👌

I always bought boats I can afford...

Skol!

Sorry to see this. I am really surprised to see what huge damage the boat has taken… I was seriously considering a Hanse as my next boat, but I can’t get over the amount of damage you have suffered. I had an X-442 X-Yacht (danish built) and once had a bad grounding on an uncharted rock (after the Tsunami in Thailand), but the only damage we had was to the bottom of the keel…. So I guess I’ll have to save up more and stick to X-Yachts. Good luck with the repairs !!

Stora Nassa at its best. You’re so lucky to have been there in this stunning weather. I’m so envious.

Really good movies. Nice that you show both good and less good things.

I'm having a rough time figuring out a transducer for my new B&G Zeus3s....the dealer had no idea, and Navico Tech Support kept me on the phone 4 hours and 20 min...with the last hour claiming I was " Next" before I hung up, disgusted I had wasted an entire day I needed to be working on the hull ! 🤬 Besides the Forward Scan, what's the other transducer you're using ? I did buy a StuctureScan 3D through-hull because I saw you could plug 2 ForwardScans directly into the Zeus, then found, again with no idea from the dealer...that the StructureScan3D has a 12-pin Y-cable....so evidentally, and with NO documentation anywhere, it still requires the StructureScan3D interface box ! 😱 The entire transducer-lottery is a black-box nobody in Support roles has much grasp on if you're not using their power boat stern-mounted Skimmer transducer that frequently comes with your chartplotter/MFD. ...and, salt in the wound, I even tried calling Airmar to talk about the StructureScan3D transducer before it came in to the dealer....only to be told "Oh, that's not ours, you'll have to talk to Navico "(on HOLD for 4+ hours)...I then get my hands on it, open the documentation, and it says Airmar in big bold letters ! 😱🤬

Most boat dogs are spoiled. Our’s too.

I own a charter business, 42 year business in BC canada. The issue with charter boats is lenient process. We have many clients that are no issue, maybe because they are accustomed to our process. If you review our “prepare for charter “ page, it our expectation that you review the information and come prepares like a professional skipper. You have a route plan, you know how to get weather information, you understand the rules of our business, no hard bags onboard…..blah blah blah. But its these standards that leave our boats in very good condition. We have a 2008 Beneteau 40 that is still gorgeous because I do all the orientations and there is no pass GO until you comply. Sure, there are stressful times with those reckless type skippers but I don’t relent. You either treat our boats like your own or go home. And yes, we loose some clients, just never come back but if I compare our boats to those where no control is exercised, I know we do the right thing, after all we own some of the boats. I’m not about to allow anybody to wreck my big investment because they simply don’t conduct the duties of a skilled skipper. No route plan and you Blaine to find a rock in the area and devalue our vessel simply because you don’t care to follow good seamanship, not an option with me. Go buy your own boat, wreck it and see how you feel after that, see the extent of rebuild it takes to repair a grounded sail boat. All charter business should do this and the industry will have a better name and better boats that lost longer. Besides that the insurance companies are withdrawing from the market, they too won’t accept the risk of poor seamanship and pay big money to repair the damage, Gaurd your insurance before they deny renewal. Its cheaper for the client to take a skipper than to pay for the insurance, promote it.

Your club island, Västerön, are guest boats welcome there?

Spring came early to Sweden?

How about chartering with captain…you

Great video, thanks for sharing such beautiful anchorages.

Can you link the coordinate to exactly that bay on Nassa?

Beautiful video! Made me want to go back to Stora Nassa. Really looking forward to spring and summer. ☀️ Ollie is so cute. Looks alot like a smaller size Morris. 😊👍🏻
