@@SVParadigme20 we old timers were you neighbors at Marina Seca. You gave us good advice then and since. We are excited to see you succeed. It is great to see nice helpful folks do great things
Would much prefer if you did not just talk to the camera. Walk around your boat showing the sea, sails, stuff onboard. Anyway, which island are you aiming for? I sailed to Nuku Hiva, the only entry port last year, but now Hiva Oa is open, as I hope you know, and is far preferable.
Fair point. I’ll do a boat walk around at some point in time. Keep in mind I am single handing. I try to minimize the mouvements around the boat for all kinds of reasons. I am planning for Nuku Iva. But I will visit Iva Oa also
Looking good out there! -- QUESTION -- Are you aware of any "crash" standards that sailboats must meet? Like cars do ie A vehicle's bumpers must withstand a collision at 5 MPH without suffering repairable damage, or it must sustain a collision of 25 mph without having any intrusion into the car's cabin. If sailboats had a crash standard that all hulls must meet, it would end this "production sailboat vs blue water sailboat" nonsense. For instance, all hulls should be able to survive hitting the corner of a submerged shipping contained at 5 knots without puncturing the hull. Or it must survive a keel strike at 5 knots without deforming the bolts. If there were proper standards for all new sailboats, then it would make purchasing them so much easier. As it stands, you really have no idea. I used to think that all the hulls were the same and it was the "fixtures" that were different. So you could buy a "lesser" sailboat and simply take the time and money and upgrade the rigging, or shackles, or plumbing etc., and end up with just as strong a sailboat. Boy was I wrong. Time for proper standards in this industry.
@@SVParadigme20 ..perfect.. looking forward to it. Whatever the intentions were of those who made the current sailboat classifications system, it is now clear that due to circumstances and history, that impact survival is the number one consideration on people's mind. Everything else is secondary (and important but not paramount).
Pour l'instant BRAVO
Merci Gillos!!
Great videos
