The ocean can get Terrifyingly shitty. The worst I’ve been in is mid 40 knots offshore which in the grand scheme of things is not a very big deal and that was extremely uncomfortable and scary
But to imagine the fury of the ocean Tropical storm or even hurricane force conditions at sea is beyond comprehension. I’ve read accounts of waves that look like mountains, winds that tear apart any amount of sail, and motion so rough that the only thing you can do is strap yourself to your bunk and just pray.
Back in the day Sailors like the Pardeys had no choice but to prepare their boat for these worst possible conditions. But now with modern technology and even Artificial Intelligence, are those days over? Can we now set sail over the horizon confident that we will avoid those worst case scenarios? And, if we are patient enough, can we avoid uncomfortable weather all together?
This week we’re going to investigate these questions as we install systems on the boat that incorporate cutting edge technology in an attempt to make our sailing adventures safer and more comfortable. But before we get to that we’ve got some routine maintenance and improvements we want to tackle.

Isabella is soooo cute and getting to show her personality a lot.
Loos Pro Gauge: Tip: it works on deflecting the wire to measure tension. So, the closer you are to the end of the wire, the less accurate you are. When you were measuring the backstay, the gauge was too close to the terminal. Try to get it as far up from the terminal as you can and still read it for accurate measurements. Looks like you had the idea down when you moved to the shrouds as you had it above your head and we know at your height, that is a long way from the terminal. Fair winds and following seas!
FYI Furuno and Max Sea have had the networking capability that you featured today since 2010 or so. This has allowed lap top connectivity at the Nav station to all navigation data including radar. Equally important is the fact that the laptop is using the same charting as the chart plotter at the helm which would have avoided your need to use Open CPN on the laptop. When you purchase charts for your Furuno chart plotter you automatically get the same charts for your laptop at no extra cost. This allows your routes and waypoints to be made at the comfort of the nav station using your laptop and when complete these routes and waypoints are automatically available at the helm for your chart plotter and auto pilot. Garmin has many good features but I'm surprised you didn't include Furuno's abilities.
Very cool! You both probably know this; with your skill set, when you tire of world sailing, you can develop a really specialized sailing school for boat owners. 💗
Minor point from a racing sailor, when using your tension guage, you are supposed to put it on the shroud at approx face height. When you had it on some of the shrouds you were right beside the turnbuckle so you get the wrong reading
Thanks for your brief comment about checking every 12 to 15 minutes when on watch. That is the interval I have chosen. But I have wondered if I was correct. Your comment gave me a little assurance. Close to shore or in a commercial lane - 12 minutes and sometimes less. Over 150 NM out and not in a shipping lane - 15 minutes.
Love the idea of good polars. Realize that your new polars may remove some of the buffer you now have.
Yet another amazing episode! You guys are awesome and I love watching your adventures and even more so, seeing your family grow!
So happy to see you're getting everything ready for the new cruising season. Looking forward to going along with you 🤗💞
Terrific tech upgrades. Love the can do attitude and your beautiful family.... not to mention the adventure you are on. Thanks for sharing it all
Love the improvements to Atticus! thanks for sharing!
Looks like you guys are doing awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic video guys. The Datahub looks amazing and the data it provides could be a game changer. Thx for sharing Mark & Leigh
I drove 8 hours today and finally got a chance to watch your video!! Awesome systems you’ve installed. Love your attention to detail. Can’t wait to see the next video, that arena looked amazing!!
Looking good and staying safe underway.
Thank you for the video
What a great episode. So much going on the new systems are amazing thank you for the education.
So happy Jordan your Radar is operational below deck. It's like having an extra set of eyes while your eyes are on Isabella. God Bless you and your family. May the sea be calm and the passage be smooth for all. Have a great week y'all..
You are so impressive with your projects! Good job!
Cool placement of the vice!
you produce the best videos. so tight and professional. the app install is incredible. u guys are really refining your lives. Isabella is such a jewel!!
THANK YOU so very much for this, it was so informative and quite enlightening.
That tech is incredible.
💖
Good morning SPA and Happy Easter. May GOD continue to bless and watch over you.
Very interesting topic-AI and sailing. Love it and look forward to the episodes.
Excited for you guys to have some capabilities to make your sailing more stress free✌️💜
I love the content. I have been watching half a dozen sailing channels since the beginning of the pendemic. You videos are fast moving up my must see list. I have seen the quality of your videos evolve and now I don't dare look away in fear I might miss somthing. You crammed a lot into todays video that I have not seen in other places. Things I picked up today might seem simple to some but where you hid the vice, rig tuning and the info on the advancements using AI stand out.
I've been a flight instructor for 35 years and can say you have the knack for teaching. Kudos!!!❤
I really enjoy when Jordan gets all technical! As an IT guy it's super interesting! Isa is so sweet! Loved the episode!!
Very informative episode .... everytime i learn so much .... thank you .... ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 .....😊
Cool thanks for sharing the tech install!
Cool episode loved it!!!
Looking forward to next week. Congrats on connecting your switch. Looking forward to your visit with Turkey.
Great graphics ❤.
Great show, looking forward to next week video. Enjoy
Thank you for the video. Very nice work!
So proud of you guys.
Looking forward to Ephesus … Have a blessed Easter everyone ✝️💟
I love you guys! I'm glad to see you finding ways to make your sailing experience safer. Safe travels. ❤ Happy Easter!
I second the thank you to Patreons. I can't afford this cost but benefit from this well put together content.
Wow thanks crew for this informational video its great to show case how to connect your instruments to work for you a big thanks !!!!!!!! and Isabella is so cute :))
Thanks very much.
That was so interesting! Why do I say that? Well, I used to do boating with my parents of the English southern coast! We did this from 1977 until 1984 and had an old cathode radar tube! To see the technology that you have a rightly use is just stunning! We used to ever morning turn the radio on to her the weather forecast! How it has all changed! Thank you for showing it to us all! I wish you all, safe travels!
So beautiful family 🐣
Loving all the upgrades 😊
Interesting stuff. Great job solving your issue w/o having to spend $13K. 😂. Looking forward to next week’s episode. Glad you got to see Efesus. We were there and in Kusadasi this past October.
Another great video, spent my work life maintaining aircraft and we we tensioned cables we set the gauge a good distance from the turnbuckles for a more true reading. give it a try see if it makes a difference.
As for AI, remember it is just a Pattern-matching system. That's all. It doesnt contain Logic just patterns. And while you can do a lot with patterns (drive a car, chat, or walk a robot) tyou must be prepared that it might not have the best (or even correct) solution. Verify everything yntil you gain confidence. And even then keep an eye on it.
Jordan that was a good one
AI is based on models. Just like climate change, weather forcast, election predictions and even the stock market. Jordan, you said it correctly, life on the ocean is more predictable than in the old days. Sure. However, old sailors made decisions on gut feeling. They were good at that. My fear is that many sailors today base everything on their instruments. Long time ago my neighbour in the marina, newby, bought a boat, fully equipped, as he touched a large inheritance. He set off to the UK from Holland. Long story short......instruments failed and he ended up in Norway. Could have gone horribly wrong. So....always have a sextant on board, paper charts and the skill to use them.
Happy Easter. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to adventures in Turkey
I "think" this every episode but I don't say it often but for ME, this is the best cruising channel out there. I look forward to my weekly 20 to 30 minutes of weekly entertainment (and education) with much anticipation!
🤗thank you!
Amazing video 📹 👏. See you on the next one adventurers 😊😊.
You 're part of my inspiration on my Sailing journey. The baby is growing gourgeuos.
Love the video. I'm going to look for the equivalent NMEA 2000 to ethernet from Raymarine for our new cat. Love the video title. Very creative. Isa is getting so big. Keep up the great work and thank you for bringing us along! ♥
Not unless it can pluck you out of insane seas dismasted, holed, or with a broken rudder
Senior citizen parents advise..Never say to a child under 18 years old, "I'm going to do 'such & such', Is that okay?" Parents make the rules and the choices, you know best. They will learn from the good advice you give. Giving children choices turns them into brats. Soon they will expect the parents to do for them what they want. Praying for wisdom for you both😊.
Good job, enjoying your content, sailing in Brazil.
Something that came to mind as I was watching, be aware of your sleep settings on your computer. I would hate for the thing to fall asleep and not "alarm" when you were depending on that system.
That was a good time watching an AV nerd geek get happy and happier!
You can use Active Captain to show your radar screen using the helm command on your mobile device. I have 3 Garmin plotters in my helm and I can pick which on I can connect my iPad to.
All the electronics is nice as long as you have enough power to run it all 24 hours a day on passages but ... we had a forecasted four day weather window fo a two days and nights passage and 18 hours into this trip we suddenly were in 25 foot seas and 50 knots of blustery wind. Wave tops blowing off the steep wave walls that would break over the dodger and cockpit. So much for reliable forecasting. Radar showed approaching weather on 24 mile range but to little information much too late. 36 hours later the wind dropped to 30 knots and seas to 15-18 feet and our two day passage became a four day three nights ordeal. We stayed dry and warm inside of our completely enclosed cockpit and our 42 Manta cat handled the seas but this made for a very loud and violent ride.
It's more about sailing preparation and good judgment over AI electronics. I still used a sextant, paper charts and dead reckoning with many miles of extreme weather saiing, navigation and sail management.
You must always be prepared when your electronics go black. S/C Reality.
Thanks for bringing us along on your journey. I was going to offer to help with these recent projects, but you finished them before I could get my wife to let me take the trip, get my passport, buy a plane ticket, rent a room in Turkey, and pack my bags. So, next time give me a couple months prior notice! P.S. You have the cutest little girl in the world!
Go with your gut. I don’t drive anymore, and my life definitely improved when I gave up the SUV 🚙 🤪😵💫🙂↔️🙂↔️🙂↔️ people are crazy 🤔
I got an e-bike for stuff, like a month’s groceries, errands and FUN. It’s working for me.
Over a year now. I live if a thriving sailing ⛵️ community 😃
What I love about your channel since the baby was in the "oven", is the shift in your couplehood. At this stage in your lives, your roles are pretty clearly defined. Way to alpha up both of you. And baby shark doo doo doo doo doo...
Dads do not babysit. They parent.
The nonscary side of AI. Fun to see you doing your homework.
YOU GUYS ROCK!❤❤❤
Isabella has stole the show❤
I've said it before, I'll say it again... Jordan, you are a beast! I envy your skill set! I love these videos, can't wait until the next one! Thank you.
Good information. I have a problem with modern computers and electrical navigation. I learned with hand held computer and slide rule. Enjoy your tour of the Turkish history, especially the Roman period. We toured that area in the 70’s. I am waiting for your trip to Santorini.
You are a Wizkid love your show look after your lovely family take care.
Okay, the vise mounted to the bottom of the storage cover / seat bottom board is pure genius!
Another great project video. I can’t imagine with technology, what we will have in 20 years! Will we look back to today and wonder how we survived? 🤨
We cant wait our next trip to Corralejo )
Love you guys 🌹🌹🌹🌺🌺🌺❤️❤️❤️
I think y’all are going to need a bigger boat! 😂 JK…I love Atticus II and all the upgrades you’ve been giving her. 🤙
I love your movies and professional comments, go on captain, by the way are you still in Turkey.? We are from Belgium but lives in Turkey, near Fethiye, Kalkan. A happy Easter to all of you. 👍👍👍
Have seen you both work and learn to sail without the gizmos. So i admire your knowledge, skills, seamanship, and the way you tackle the learning curve. I get that you Jordan, have great mechanical, software and electrical abilities, some of which i can only admire but not equal. And Desiree always captures your work perfectly. Anyone who ever watches how to videos on utube where the guys hands obscure the work knows what i mean by that.
Spent a large part of my working life working on building computers, so i am amazed that you are able to use them so well as aids to sailing. Oh, and having been a single parent, both of you are doing a great job with Baby. Much respect to your life and work.
You know your wife loves you when she tolerates you storing tools in the saloon.
Dear Sailing Project Atticus family,
Awesome episode, always so full of tips on sailing by tech magician Jordan. 🙂
Since you mentioned all the probabilities of unexpected situations, I wonder if it would be worth an episode to describe your best "SOS" procedure and equipment you keep in case of emergency. Also, if you keep "double" of the most important things you need for the boat to sail without any risks, like the computer or some of the other navigation systems themselves.
And great you will be showing some of the best tourist spots in Turkey. Beautiful country!
Take care and hugs,
La tía Ivy desde Panamá 🤗
16:35 have you considered a camera (FLIR or otherwise) someplace up the mast so you could use that to do a horizon scan? Maybe even better than you could with the naked eye?
As a Computer Expert, let me tell you there's always a way around someone's proprietary, stuff.
Over the years I have worked at or owned at least 3 compamies which did exactly that -- connect up different protocols so they all work together. The last one being Voxeo which was a company providing developer libraries to write Voip software. Even AT&T and most other Cell companies adopted it as it was better than how they were doing things. So we helped make your Portable Cell Phone from just a hand held computer to a full telephone (including internet).
The way you write such programs is come up with any standard and write specific code to make each piece of hardware talk to that standard. In that way you can plug in something new and they all talk. Text, Email, Webmail, Fax, Voice, even Radio. So it goes in as a voice mail and comes out as a Fax -- simply because of software to make each type fit our standard (in or out).
Simple once you understand it.
Loved the Atticus graphics to explain tuning the rig 👍
Jordan with regards to your tool box rack why not build a matching wood box to enclose it and to secure it better. This will give you a table top on top.
Hmmmm....whats the next project... forward looking infared camera or perhaps a camera system that is used for security? Always something...love your desire to make the boat more efficient and secure.
Looks like a great system! Can Predict Wind take your data and use it in their forecast model? I could imagine having lots of extra weather stations all over the ocean with wind speed and direction data could be really useful to them.
For baby tv, try Ms Moni and Cocomelon. Keeps our tot occupied when we need a moment
Hi! Have you thought about getting cameras to be able to see around the boat while down below?
I wonder if the data hub can also take in to account what sails are being used, how they are trimmed, etc -- and provide real time optimization information -- that could be used to optimize a sail plan and even realtime trimming information. I'm envisioning a fully automated autopilot on steroids that also adjusts sails underway
This is really cool, but Polars are the theoretically objective possible performance for your boat. You may only sail to 70-80% of your polars, but those lower levels aren’t your “polars”. That said, while it doesn’t show you the polars for your boat, it does in a way show you what Jordan’s polars are! That’s still really cool! You’ll be able to tell what Jordan’s expected performance is on a beam reach in 20 knots, and like you say, you’ll be able to plan around that in combination with weather forecasts. Neato!
Hey guys I’m from Florida, love your channel and your adorable baby is so beautiful goddess all you guys ❤❤
Wow I am looking forward to getting out on the ocean
Legit schooled data scientist, not some IT guy, nor PhD in Physics converted to data scientist later. Have been practicing and researching AI tech in the last 10 years or so. Currently technical head of an AI lab. If my credentials are good enough, please read on.
This episode was very interesting. A custom trainable model with your boat's data will surely give you much more forecast power. It will eventually depend on the weather predictions but if you marry that with your data, and give yourself a little bit of a wiggle room (margin of error) based on acceptable risk tolerance as Jordan correctly stated, it will surely be more reliable. I'm happy to see companies catering to sailors are looking at ways to make the most use out of AI (loosely used here). This is a great, cause worthy application of it.
Hearing about the use of AI to collect data and give you info for making sailing decisions is amazing and exciting.
I'm not a sailor, at least not yet - working on that :) , but I am into Linux and open source in a big way. If I ever manage to set sail and go exploring, FOSS (Free Open Source Software) will run the show as much as possible. OpenCPN, OpenSeaMap, Traccar GPS tracker, etc. Raspberry Pi for house server, media center.
I wonder how smart it is to put that much crucial tech in the bilge ... ? Looks a bit risky to me.
Looking forward to the Turkish adventure - safe travels guys :)
Hey Jorden, will you build the Enterprice? I`t look`s like. Good luck for all of you.
Great episode. You likely have though of this but, in case not, Security cameras have come a LONG way lately, One in particular is ip68 and salt spray resistant as well as solar powered with it own small solar unit . WIFI, 270 degree pan and zoom. Wonder if mounted on the mast would be a great way to look around and down (reducing reflection from the water , you might even be able to attach a circular polarizer) when looking for shallow spots and baumies (not spelled correct, I'm sure). They are small light not expensive at all, and small and light enough to not take up room on a crowded mast, being WIFI, you would not need a direct connection, since they are battery with there own solar collector. Just a thought!
To think: How would the sailors of even the Biblical times (since your in Ephesus, there are stories of ruff Seas in the New Testament, Paul) see all of our technology today: space satellites, weather technology, starlink, water makers, solar panels, lithium batteries, AIR conditioner, Oven. Refrigerator freezer, washing machine etc.
Question: How do you prepare for an EMP Burst and all technology fails? But what other systems fail? (Video please). We have come so far. When people sailed, they would run out of fruit. Become vitamin C deficient developer scurvey and actually die. (Add that Multivitamin to the life raft supplies). You couldn't even flush the toilet because the pumps wouldn't work. What would you do to sail, cook and survive? Love your videos! Wishing you all the best. Blessings.
😳
Good solution. Safety one. I’ve always wondered, though. Why don’t they have cameras that can “keep watch?” Well, this setup seems best.
35 years in IT, and this is what AI was made for.
I do know that Joshua Slocum swore by Predictwind. 😁
What brand are your tool storage boxes? I'm not dining them on line and they look like they would be the ticket for S/V Seahorse
We live in a wondrous age. Here are some of the things that I think - data dependent - should be possible in the near future .
Among the many possibilities:
What's the probability of that weather window staying open throughout the voyage? Updated at a short intervals.
At the start of the journey, what options are there for setting a course that will make diverting to a safe port more accessible?
While underway, if the weather window now looks shorter, can I sail more aggressively than I normally do and make it?
What are my options for mitigating the risk of adverse conditions while underway?
It will be interesting to see how important a variable like - when was the hull last cleaned - might be.
Over time, one class designs may be easier to accurately advise but AI should also be able to find useful commonalities across sailboats with similar characteristics.
It should be possible to profile the individual doing the sailing or the crews and put them into categories.
It should be possible to provide a review of how well the boat performed relative to potential within constraints.
And on and on.
