X5 Caribbean Passage - Loss of Forestay Underway
Our June Caribbean Yacht Delivery between BVI and Grenada aboard a 50ft Catamaran. Our forestay let go during the passage. Video of us dealing with that problem and events during the passage.
About three weeks after we left the boat Hurricane Beryl sideswiped Southern Grenada, but the catamaran survived intact.
On board was Nachi, Mustad Marine crew member.

2024 Pac Cup Dismasting (return passage) 50nm north of Oahu

2024-08 Attempted Pac Cup return delivery ended in a dismasting only 9 hours later. We spent a week preparing this boat: cleaning, organizing, repairing, etc. We got sidetracked for three days dealing with a very problematic NKE system, i.e., masthead unit, compass, autopilot, network bus collisions, etc. ARRG! My lowest priority were the sails and rigging which we prepped, repaired (two frozen...
Le Boat down the Canal du Midi - A Vacation Video

Sailed down the Canal du Midi over 100KM with friends and family aboard a Le Boat Charter. It was a lot of fun traversing 44 locks and many bridges. Whatever minor delays or hassles we had melted away in the experience and fun of boating through the French wine growing region. We started in Castelnaudary and sailed down the canal to Narbonne.
FURLERBOOM review: first look & 10,000 nm later aboard two X-Yachts

I don't often review boats/products because it gets a little touchy in the small world of sailing. But in this case, I think it's worth putting this out there. I think the FURLERBOOM (Danish made) looks nice as a boom-furling system but that's as far as it goes for me. There are eleven big reasons why I don't suggest using this system. Looks aren't everything! NOTE: I said these Furlerbooms wer...

Santa Cruz 53C Delivery: Chiapas to Papagayo, weather and mini-boat review
Просмотров 65Год назад
Yacht delivery between Chiapas, MX (the furthest south on the Pacific side) to Papagayo, Costa Rica (furthest north), about 470nm. The boat is a Santa Cruz 53c, a one-off design. It's actually a Santa Cruz 52 that was rebranded as a cruising 53. Our passage was easy, mostly motoring in light air. Thanks to lucky timing, we successfully avoided lightning storms and the strong Papagayo winds whic...

It's not every day that we see the kind of weather we had recently along our coast. This presented a unique situation, so I thought I would share it.

These lows are usually places of refuge and can be exploited. ...

    Thanks for sharing. Definitely helps to see you and your crew in action. Any thoughts about the last rod cut, in hindsight maybe removing the cotter pin and punching the pin out would have need easier and faster? Any concerns about salt water shorting out the grinder, as it looked like it took a few dunks on the last rod being cut.

    • @MustadMarine
      @MustadMarine 2 месяца назад

      Yeah, in hindsight I would have paid more attention to which rigging I cut last. I didn't realize how difficult the last rod would be. I may have been able to punch the clevis pin before the entire rig placed a load on it. However, that side of the boat was partly covered in rigging to begin with. I'm still not sure if it could have been done differently. Yes, the battery gave out after the last cut. Cheers

    I've done a few deliveries with in mast and boom furlings and I've found that most problems are operator error or multiple errors. Quite often owners don't don't invest their time to fully comprehend the proper use of these systems. Let's face it, when it's time to reef, you're in pounding seas high winds not to mention your standing and running rigging being under ever increasing loads. Firstly, you should ease off your backstay tension. Second, the vang control the proper roll of the furl. Before you head to sea you calibrate the point of vang tension that gives you even neutral wraps in the boom furling. You place a knot in the line right were it meets the clutch. I find that with electric winches you become isolated from extreme loads that otherwise you would be aware of when cranked manually. This would also keep you reaching a point of mechanical failure.

  • @ezmn9663
    @ezmn9663 5 месяцев назад

    Not to change the subject completely, but have you had nearly as many concerns with in-mast furling? The worry with in-mast is a jammed sail with no ability to drop in heavy weather. Great video BTW...

    • @MustadMarine
      @MustadMarine 5 месяцев назад

      Thanks! Yeah, in mast systems have their pros and cons, of course. The reason for this video is the particular nature of the "FurlerBoom" and how impractical it is for cruising/racing. My client did a two-handed race to Hawaii and almost lost the gooseneck pin which would have been a disastrous nightmare. As it was, the pin bent as it was backing out, so they had to tie down the boom and finish the race under jib. Imagine a 300-400# boom loaded with a mainsail smashing about!

    • @ezmn9663

      @@MustadMarine Yeah, seems almost worth ripping all of them out. If a sailboat is going to live for 30 years through various hands, that system will make it through 0% of the time! I am planning on a boat for coastal sailing and then perhaps blue water. The coast part will likely be me singlehanding with guests helping 5% - would you suggest sticking w/ slab or in-mast (which seems more single-handing friendly)? Most new boats are in-mast these days, so there must be something there. Great videoa in your channel!

    Thanks for posting Arnstein! Would a one way valve on the wet exhaust system be advisable to install to alleviate the backflow to the genset?

    • @MustadMarine
      @MustadMarine 6 месяцев назад

      I think the designer probably thought that backpressure from the genset (not running) would be enough to mitigate exhaust flow from the engine up the vertical hose up to the water separator. That may still be correct, after all the boat had run many years in its current configuration. However, when the water separator blew open and any potential backpressure was lost, the amount of exhaust gas and water going vertical was considerable (when engine revved up). So even with two exhaust exits -- port and starboard -- the engine exhaust system still had enough resistance for the flow to move vertically toward the genset (And what about genset running and engine turned off?). I am of the school that thinks each machinery (and bilge pump) should have its own exhaust port, never shared. Cheers!

I have two relatives who are among the dead of World War II; both were (or would have been had I yet been born) uncles -- one is buried in Luxembourg; I easily located his headstone. The other's remains could not be identified; he died among the last U.S. casualties in the Pacific Theater on the Island of Okinawa -- his grave is unmarked, but I hope to at least visit the area before I die. The graves of all those who fought and died for freedom, and continue to do so today, are monuments that can never be surpassed in importance and honor: they mark the best our kind has ever produced. Given the miserable state in which we currently find the western world -- with students taught to hate their own people and histories -- I find it particularly shameful to be alive now. Fortunately, I'm an old man and won't have to see these things much longer. But I am and will always be proud to be an American, a citizen of the Free World, and a U.S. military veteran. Thank you, all who sacrificed your health and your lives for us in past wars -- and especially, my father, who nearly died in the Pacific War. Thank you, to all those brave young people with whom I served in Viet Nam and other places, and who suffered and died, especially my brother who was killed at age 21. Thank you, my allied brethren. And thank you, those who continue to serve today (in spite of the worst political and military leadership in our history). You gave us freedom, though we have failed to live up to your sacrifices; but you were and are the stuff of which honor is made. -- An Old Man
