Usually the most experienced person takes the helm so inexperienced people don't know how incredibly effective steering can be to reduce seasickness. Please encourage her to try it.

Very interesting piece. Remember welding on stainless, heat drives nickel out of steel makes it marginally more subject to corrosion. This means increased inspection frequency. I’ve really enjoyed your process and comments. Thanks for sharing! Beautiful country.
@Alluring Arctic Sailing: Found your channel in my feed, and has been binge-watching ever since! . . . As someone who has spent most of my life at sea all across the globe, apart from the 'nitty gritty' of daily life onboard and alongside different ports of call, what from the very first video struck me, was the absolutely down-to-earth attitudes you both radiates throughout! . . . This segment from the Føroyar was exceptionally interesting, showing glimpses of what 'shit may happen' for mariners (the rudder issue), footage from the shipyard (the unique energy producing 'UW-planes'!), and above all the breathtaking vistas from your hiking! . . . . I wish you all the best & future _Bon voyages!_ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ _PS:_ Your channel deserves _millions_ of followers!!!😉👍
Hey everyone! This video will go live on Sunday, I'm testing out the premiere feature so I can chat with you while watching the episode for the first time! See you then!
ESTIMADO AMIGO , SI PUDIERAS ESTARIA BUENO QUE AGREGUES SUBTITULOS EN ESPAÑOL EN RUclips, ESO PERMITIRIA DISFRUTAR AUN MAS TUS VIDEOS DEL CUAL SOY FANATICO. SALUDOS DESDE SAN LUIS ARGENTINA !!!!
Hei Juho, it was cool the meeting you had with Erik Aanderaa. Too bad you didn't cross path and had a chat with Drake Paragon, another legend in liveaboard cruising and exploring. He and his wife recently sailed from Greenland and spent a good time in Vestmanna where they documented more local stories, life and culture than most sailing channels do. Iso Anti ....
I really appreciated the more engineering-centric aspects of this one. I'm sure lots of people like to get a good look at the nuts and bolts of the problems and solutions you encounter on your journey. Thank you for the great content!
Thanks for watching! I released this video as a "premiere", which means that there was a live chat on Sunday when it was released, and subscribers got a notification about it beforehand. I think it's a fun feature because then we can chat during the premiere and you can ask us questions etc... But I know a lot of people get annoyed by these notifications if/since they can't make the premiere anyway... Do you think that premieres are a bad idea? Did you get annoyed by the notification? Should I just release the videos normally? Let me know!
Always look forward to your posts - video or other. I wasn’t sure what a premiere was and missed it winterized good my own boat today. I will watch for the notification if you try this idea again. Thanks.
I've seen the ➡️same⬅️ 'Live Streams' on different channels months apart. It would have been better for them to have said 'previously recorded' instead of living their lies over again. I personally would have liked to have seen how other boats address ICE attacks on their rudders instead of drone shots from above. But, that's me.
Another great video, interesting content, dry humour, great scenery, compelling storyline... And we know the work went well cos you got to Iceland👍... But that work on the hard must have made a big old dent in somebody's budget😬
Can't wait to follow along. I'm tired of all the warm water stuff. Expedition style boats are on another level💯 Bring on thee cold weather sailing. Cheers from Canada🇨🇦
Simply amazing to see all the work it takes just to get your vessel ready for Arctic travel. The hike you 2 took was beyond beautiful an just breath takingly amazing!!! The sheep have the best views!!! Thanks for sharing your lives with us!! Fare winds an following sea's guy's ✌🏻💗😊❣️
I'm impressed that such a remote port has such a well developed shipyard. It looks like a good place to have some work done. Beautiful imagery. Cheers from Southeast Alaska, Greg Chaney
hi Gregory, yeah, the ship building / repair industry in Faroes is very big, a lot of big fishing trawlers etc come over from Iceland and Greenland for repairs and maintenance! they really do have everything at the shipyard, it's massive!
I am really enjoying your videos. I admire the remote destinations you venture to that are way beyond the typical sailing youtuber's range. Including explanations of your various challenges, followed up with your analysis of your problem, formulation of a solution, and some of the unanticipated minor struggles you overcome as you proceed through your repairs. One comment of constructive criticism, from my experience in documentary work, reduce your "talking head" shots to a minimum. As a viewer I like to see who is speaking to me but only for short bits, the segments that you show the action are much more satisfying to this viewer. Also, when you use a head shot for your on screen narration you can use a wider shot including more of your context - location. "Jump cuts" are also completely acceptable in an effort to keep the story moving briskly and right on topic with a minimum of repetition. I'm sorry to report that I tend to watch your videos at 1.25 playback speed. Please keep up the great work! I am living on Vancouver Island BC so I guess you passed by this region recently.
Being half faroese (my father is faroese). It's funny to see other people up there. Are you enjoying the faroe islands ? Try the fish'n'chips shop close to the bookstore / postoffice. They make the best fish'n'chips.
Always great to see both you and the beautiful Miss Sohvi alive and well. Never a dull moment and always interesting. The Faroe Islands are so beautiful. Best of luck on the repairs and safe travels 💖
Not much fun being on the hard, but you have to keep that beauty sea worthy. Nice video my friend, like the way you explain what your doing. Take care and be safe.😎👍
I like your boat even more since I've now seen all of it. I know it's a great feeling knowing you have a boat tough enough to safely take you anywhere you wish to go. Reminds me of A Dashew design or FPB. Considering what those boats can set you back then it's a good class to be compared to.
Your rudder bearings have flanges. If you drill and tap three holes in the flanges, you can insert bolts into the threaded holes, and use the bolts as “jacking screws” to extract the bearings from the rudder tubes. “Jacking Screws “ of this type are very common for removing flanged rudder and shaft bearings.
This is all important work to be done before any serious voyaging. Those rudders were very small and as you said the ice protector parts were huge in comparison. Whilst you were out longer than hoped that’s pretty normal for a boat as you know. Looks like an interesting yard to be in. Andy UK
Erittäin hyvä Juho, että kerroit Minestosta myös erittäin perusteellisesti, olen itse omistanut Mineston osakkeita useita vuosia, mutta lähitulevaisuudessa tapahtuu isoja asioita tässä hyvin hoidetussa Göteborgin yhtiössä, toivon, että Minesto on yhtä tunnettu Volvona tulevaisuudessa.
Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Thanks also for the footage of the amazing Faroe Islands. I know know I have to add those to my list as I continue to sail around! Good luck with your repairs and modifications. May fair winds be with you!
Renewable and plentiful energy my friend is here Now as in TESLA's energy from the void, an un ending supply will be running world wide. Best of luck on your rudders
You have a very interesting problem to solve there. Inability to turn while single engine running suggests the non driven prop is not ‘trailing’ and resting at 0 rpm and thus acting as a brake effectively causing counter steer and causing you to carry helm to maintain a desired course. It may not be a solution for now but a folding prop may be the only effective solution. Clearly you need to retain the ice protection plates in some form - and I doubt they are having a killer effect in terms of manoeuvrability (in comparison to a stalled fixed pitch prop).
Often rather than welding an extension on the rear of the rudder a smaller plate at the front of it is more efective, its called a balanced rudder and as a benefit makes the steering lighter too, if you have space to fit it in. An expensive job in the Faroes, last time I was there prices were scandless.
It is painful watching that diver work in those temperatures! I live in south Alabama, it is currently 35°F and I am layered like a cake. I can't wait for it to be hot again! 🤣 you guys are intense sailing in those conditions.
Very interesting. Who ever designed the steering setup on Arktika was obviously relying on the twin motors to help with steering at low speeds; the rudder on my 18 footer was bigger I think! Also; not too sure about those plastic 'bearings' on the rudder pintles. If it was mine I would like to see a couple of roller bearings and a packing system like you use on a prop shaft. All the best.
Love what you are doing. Great video; good technical level with some interesting stuff around you and a nice hike! Take care, looks like it has been a windy couple of days again!
Be very careful in the rudder bearing material selection. Delrin will not expand under water but many other nylon plastics will. I have known a 165' schooner to have its rudder become immovable because of a material substitution which caused the bushings to expand.
What are Stugeron Tablets and what are they used for? Stugeron is a travel or motion sickness tablet containing the active ingredient cinnarizine. Cinnarizine is an antihistamine that reduces symptoms of travel sickness, regardless of the cause. These symptoms include: vomiting nausea dizziness vertigo ringing in the ear (tinnitus) associated with middle ear disorders. Stugeron tablets can be taken by adults and children over the age of 5 years to help combat unpleasant symptoms associated with travelling. A single dose should be taken 2 hours before the intended travel with effects lasting for up to 8 hours.
For sea sickness Stugeron is much effective than the patches. Use just half a tablet if they make you a little drowsy. Take the first tablet before you set sail. They are available online from the uk.
Hi. You should really consider changing your port propellor to left hand rotation. That will make your maneuvering 100% better. What make of transmissions do you have ? Most can be run either left hand or right hand. Keep up the good work. Cheers Cameron from nz.
The primary reason for twin engines is not for redundancy, but maneuverability, presumably through ice. How are those site gauges coming on your fuel tanks? And what about those hydrostatic releases on your life raft canisters? All the best to you and I wish you smooth sailing.
@@scooter2163 You misunderstand my meaning. Redundancy of safety equipment is always in the best interest of any prudent mariner. However, diesel engine problems are usually fuel related. Engine redundancy in an emergency is absolutely of no use if both engines are fed by the same fuel delivery system as evidenced in Juho’s last video transmission. Redundancy of day tanks with properly installed sight gauges and filters would have prevented that unfortunate event. Additionally, this vessel was designed with two engines that the designer must have weighed the pros and cons of higher cost of fuel and less hydrostatic efficiency other than mere redundancy alone. In other words, what did the designer have in mind?-this should be explored. Ultimately, the prudent mariner must possess knowledge and experience as the sea, especially the Arctic Sea, is unforgiving.
Huge engineering improvements. I didn't hear if these changes will give you sailing ability? If so You have another propulsion safety/option. Loved the views of the hills!!
Make sure to purge out all the air with argon and have the argon running while welding the stainless steel or the weld will fail. Good luck with the repairs!
The french are special, and their tech keeps you busy... I know well from owning a citroen once. Arktika´s fuel system seems also to be quite unique! In this case I like the dutch craftmanship. Looking forwar Iceland with You both!! Keep healthy and fair winds!
If you can, try to get hold of Vesconite or Vesconite Hilube material for the rudder bushes, it's stable with a very good frictional coefficiency, it doesn't need to be lubricated, very effective in wet applications and has a very high load capacity.
And beware of specifying a clearance which is as low as the 0.05mm you mentioned: almost all rudder bushing materials swell when they get wet and this can lock up the steering. I haven't watched the whole video, and hopefully the shipwrights will have suggested a more realistic target figure for whatever material they end up using.
I like how you take problems so patiently. Most people would come unglued dealing with so many mechanical problems back to back.
Young man I think you have the world by the tail. Great vessel, great girl, and brains to get through the day. Everyone should be so smart. I hope all goes smooth and things get smoothly into place with your repairs. Be well.
You guys are killing it⚓️❤️
My suggestion for Sohvi to reduce seasickness is for her to take the helm. Steering changes everything. Usually the most experienced person takes the helm so inexperienced people don't know how incredibly effective steering can be to reduce seasickness. Please encourage her to try it.

Watching the engine and rudder work was interesting. The discussion on the renewable energy device and tides was also interesting.
The fact that you had to get the Yard to work on your rudders gave you guys a nice hike and us a picture of the beauty of the Faroes. Great Video!

Fantastic real life sailing again coupled with sweet land views! Glad you are safe and dry!
I really love the tidal current "plane", great review of it!
Cool to see the other activities in harbour ignoring the weather.
Everything nicely explained, and now I feel more understanding about ship's safety requirements and protection of rudders in the high latitudes.
Another wonderful video. I really do wish I could be there with you both. Fantastic stuff.

Good job. Totally agree on fixing the rudder issues.
That footage of the slipway was really interesting, cool spot to be dry docked
Tolerance was the word your were looking for. Interesting what needs to be done. This would be a fun cruse for me but i'm getting to old for this.
Great catch
Do both the propellers turn in the same direction?
Contra- rotating props would be good (but perhaps difficult to achieve).

If you can, try to get hold of Vesconite or Vesconite Hilube material for the rudder bushes, it's stable with a very good frictional coefficiency, it doesn't need to be lubricated, very effective in wet applications and has a very high load capacity.
