It's ALL starting to come together! [EP 125]

- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Last week we finished installing our Hydrovane and immediately wanted to test it out.
So we pulled up anchor and hoisted our sails for a trip to Tintamarre, an island to the north of St Martin.
Having been on anchor for a few weeks waiting for bad weather to pass, we were very excited to head off and use our Hydrovane for the first time.
Initial impressions were fantastic and supported the need for us to be GOOD sailors first and know how to balance the sails and the boat well. For Adam, he aims to do this on most sails. For Khiara... I let him do it all! Which means I have a bit of a learning curve to face and a need to pay more attention in future!

Nothing wrong with sailing jargon. If someone doesn't understand they can Google it! Life's a learning curve. 🤙🏼😀
As a non sailor it is confusing however I enjoy that technical aspect in hopes I learn something. Like sailing at 80%. That’s something I’ll remember when that days comes when I buy my first boat. So many channels have gotten away from the sailing part and that’s why I been with them since almost the beginning.
Hydrovane= Magic = better fine tuning of boat balance = everybody is a winner. Beaut sailing day.
Being a bit of a sailing noob, I enjoy the sailing language so I can learn it. If I don't know a term, I just look it up.
You two always make me chuckle, you’re both so happy and smiley - thank you.
No, no, no, no, no, no, Ads, love the sailing jargon! Don't change the sailing jargon. I love it! And it's the authentic you, a fellow sailing nerd! There are dozens of sailing vlogs (with no content and the ladies featuring more decolletage than brain). But you and Khiara are perfect, just the right mix. Khiara is so lovely, a beauty to be sure, but her narrative of the sailing experience is just lovely, very real and heartfelt and intelligent, wonderful, and your "boy techno speak" is the perfect balance. Don't change a thing. From a fellow sailing nerd! God bless!!!
Khiara: “... Oh, Turtle!”
The sailor’s version of “Squirrel!”
Exactly my thoughts! 💯
I like the sailing jargon and so does Millie lol
I liked the clip of dropping the hanked stays'l. The camera angle was good. Nothing more cliche than watching a roller twirl up. Come Together , indeed!
Enjoy 😊 watching sailboat ⛵️ sailing video this week ! New sailing ⛵️ equipment great hands free sailing ⛵️! 😘😀 Mike from Missouri
just spent the weekend binge-watching your channel.. now I've run out of content! Thank you for the great work!
Superb videography. Some stunning shots.
So, the wife and I have been binge watching all the old episodes,,, flash forward to this episode and the clean cut Adam 2.0 (aka Ben) looks like Mark Wahlberg!! Nice upgrade Khiara!!
That's awesome, thanks for explaining how it works. Nothing like a sunny day sailing!!!
Absolutely lovely day of sailing...thanks for bringing us along!
When you said, "Turtle", Khiara it brought a smile to my face. Because about 30 minutes before that I had been watching turtles swimming (and mounting each other) in the river just by my house (Estepona, Costa del Sol, Spain). They are very shy. Sometimes they are sunbathing on the rocks. I have to stand very still or they all just slip into the water. Today the water was very clear, and still. Fun to watch them.
At the end of the video, when I saw a gorgeous woman coming out of the water, it reminded me of a James Bond film. Of course, Khiara is much better looking than the film stars!
standing right in front of the wind flow of the hydro vane during your first check out was... anyway. Love the show. LOL
I saved this video until I had time to relax and enjoy it. It was worth the wait.
‘Oh no, what’s that sound?’ I totally do the same thing.
Also, jargon is fine as long as there’s a quick explanation for the greenhorns. Just like you did here. A friend of mine often says, ‘if they want to know, they’ll look it up.’ 😎
Keep up the good work! Loving it.
Never too much sailing jargon. It's a great learning tool. If I ever find something difficult to understand, I go and look it up.
Good to see the new HydroVane is working well for you.
What a beautiful filmed episode, especially the last part with the water and beach. you guys make me smile every time :-)
First -class work on the hydrovane, guys! Really impressed with your resolve!
Adam your such a Asome captain!!
Soooooooooooo good to see you sailing again!!! I know how good that had to feel. 👍👍
On land its squirrel, at sea it's Turtle. Always something to grab your attention it's great.
I do love Adam’s monologues, they’re so insightful, not just for “non boatie” peeps but also the cruising community as a whole🤙🏽
Your videos are always a pleasure to watch, keep them coming, I look forward to them, You both have really Pleasant personalities.
You guys make me smile every episode! Thank you!! We are currently stuck here in Nova Scotia, Canada. Our boat is in Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas. We haven't been able to get down to her because of C'vid so watching you guys fills the gap! Keep on keeping it real! Cheers!!
Bit the same here in the UK. Mine is 240 miles away on the South coast along with my plans to sail South into my retirement.
Another great video, thanks guys. The sailing looked brilliant!
Adam -love the show and i gotta say "love the sailor jargon" and it is one of the main reasons I tune-in every week, but I can accept a balance. And the way you each balance each other out is awesome. I will also be looking to buy a true blue water boat next year and so keep the tech info / Kretschmer interview episodes coming. Either way -thx for putting videos out and fair winds to you both!
A lovely sail. Really glad to see you feeling the boat's excitement in the helm. Can't wait for warm weather and feeling the helm come alive as SV Licorne comes alive.
Great ending to this episode. Made me want to be there too!
Wow what a wonderful sail! BTW - I really like the sailing jargon!
Tintamarre is a favorite destination for us. We were married on Orient Beach and then sailed to Tintamarre for our reception with 15 of our closest strangers. Beautiful water, beach and sea life. Envious, as our 2020/21 season got waylayed by Yanmar failure. The phoenix will rise from the ashes with an electric kit and expanded lithium banks. Sometimes, tragedy is just the kick in your pants that you need. Enjoy the islands and the sunshine - which seems to cover more of the human body, in those parts.
Really enjoy watching your videos!
What a great sail .You must both be so happy with the wind vane x
Hahaha sailing jargon.....i looked up what i thought you said was "jive", but google showed me jibe and also tack !!!! Learned something today !!!!
5:50 made perfect sense to me, Adam!
everyone who has a vane on youtube loves them, especially the solo sailors
Great to see you sailing guys! X
The colour of that water 💙
Its been so long since you've shown us a sail in milly I was beginning to thing you might have to fit her with some wheels and tires to get her moving... well done love to see you on the move..
Love you guys, thank you.
I’m so jealous of that hydrovane! I want one!!
Aarrgghh, enough wid de landlubber stuff. Good video.
Im so happy ! Is the first video I can see you enjoying boat life! You deserve it guys!
Great day for a sail!
Really nice to see. You guys have come really far since the first episodes. I like the Nautical terms. It helps when wife and I sit and watch that she gets exposed to the lingo. When she eventually comes sailing with me she will have a better idea what I am talking about until it becomes second nature. Same as any language...
I really love the perseverance and tenacity with which you approach things. As a fellow Engineer, I can appreciate it and I can only hope that I will implement such good qualities when I eventually get to go sailing on my boat.
Please keep it up.
Regards,
Doug
I’ve learnt heaps about sailing from sailing channels like yours. The other day I googled hydrovane and wind vanes.
Yes, please keep the jargon. My goal is to have a boat for my daughter and I to sail. So, the jargon brings us into the world of sailing without yet having a boat.
@Adam: In the last episode, you found that you had to install the Hydrovane rudder in a way that would leave a bit of a gap between the rudder and the boat. You said something to the effect of "That's good because that will give it more power to steer the boat", whereas I believe it will have *less* steering power. Best way to work this out is to imagine that gap to be 5 metres (or more?). Would it have more or less power? I believe *less*. What you were probably thinking is "bigger rudder blade, more power", which is true, but not so much when it's far back from the boat. Anyway, in your case you had to install it that way due to space limitations, but we wouldn't want others to think "Good point! I'll install mine with a 1 metre gap" when they don't really have to. And really delighted to see it's working so well for you. It will change your life on long passages!
The further back the rudder is from the centre of gravity the longer its moment arm and the more torque it can generate to rotate the boat. Thus less force required from rudder for equal effect. Nothing to do with the size of the rudder.
On the jargon comment.... I know Adam is an Aubrey/Maturin fan (on my 3rd read through now) I had to get the companion book A Sea of Words for the archaic terms used. I wanted to know, I looked it up. Again, loving what you guys are doing.
Rockstars on the windvayne despite a ruff start on install glad you guys had fun breaking it in thanks for sharing...
Just a little piece of advice for the hole in the dinghy : you can add a patch above your repair. The type of patch made of the hole repair kit for the liner of a swimming pool.
I really enjoyed this episode very much.
Love both you guys
well, i've been watching for a year now, and while some of the sailing lingo is lost on me, i have learnt SO much from watching you guys! so Thank you for teaching me! :D
Hey guys , we had an issue with our hydrovane , when under power with the rudder attached it would ‘chatter’ due to the prop wash , looked like you had the same problem , eventually the locking pin sheared off In the shaft and I had to drop it apart to get the pin out , we now take the rudder off when we motor and have a spare couple of pins .. good video as always , safe sailing. Ian and Nat
What a great day of sailing. Well deserved. Enjoy your best life.
Congratulations on the wind vane team 👏🏻👏🏻
Great sail! LOL when she said "Mind not getting your crotch in that shot?" Y'all are fun!
Bet he'd never say the same!
Aw come on guys you wouldn't want Kiara to lose her train of thought would you
Thanks for bringing a smile to my face after a bade day in the world of CoVID-19 work wise. The way your guys are light and cherry most of the time is uplifting so again thank you :)
Yesss the joy of Hydrovane. It'll take round the world or anywhere nearer.
Love the show not nearly enough sailing jargon Adam. Lmao. ... Adam the muggle bamboozler 😂😂🤣🤣
Nice to be out and about again on the water! closing shots on the beach look wonderful.
Cheerz!
Nice job on the Hydrovane!! Some new head sails might help with weather helm. Curious as to where your stays'l blocks are located as you don't have the stays'l boom. "and there goes the house" reminds me of why everything out goes in the sink before the mainsail goes up. Lovely video. Keep up the good work.
After many years of trying to fix dinghy seams and transoms I think I finally found the product! It's called Final Fix, and its designed to glue PVC and Hypalon to things like metal and wood.... a little prices (I think I paid about $70 cdn for a tube that fits a caulking gun) but I think it's done the trick.
That was a lovely sunset.
I’ve enjoyed watching you guys for years. However you do what you do, is precisely why I watch you do it. If someone disagrees with what you are doing, they can just pound sand -elsewhere. You guys are the best at being who you are. So take no unsolicited advise - even from folks like me.
You guys are the best! I can see that Island from my home on Anguilla we call it flat island. It's a beautiful part of the world : )
The sailing along has made me really home sick from when I was a teenager and my dad and I would take the old Walker 28 ketch out, put George on and just relax
Good work with the setup many happy miles of sailing ahead.
just going to squeeze this one out, then we will go.. thanks for sharing Adam 💩💩💩
I understand Khiara completely, I'd be intimidated by the vane the first time too because I don't really understand the physics of it. I can't wait for it to happen though because it'll mean that we will finally have our forever boat and start sailing the world. It WILL happen this year, we're just waiting for the borders to open so we can travel and buy our boat.
I suspect it’s not the vane she’s intimidated by so much as her perceived lack of sailing intuition as to when the boat is in trim. This is something you learn really quick as a kid sailing dinghies (otherwise you’re always capsizing) but for adults coming to sailing in keelboats, it’s far more difficult because the boat is so forgiving.
Because this is now so much more important with the vane, it will come to her far quicker and within just a few sails where she is left to figure it out for herself, she will pick it up like a veteran, and wonder why it was so hard. Give it a go Khiara, you’ll be right in no time. And get of her way Adam and let her learn by herself!
The red bathing suit has returned . GREAT
A to B in two boards, one tack is what I learned.
It’s very easy to love this young lady, and her man .
Love the channel!
Another excellent MF production. Funny to watch Adam explain things in a non- sailor/engineering way!
sea turtles are the ocean version of squirrels 😹
"As you were..." not sure why that made me laugh, but it did!
"AWESOME, Jason? Sounds like 'sailor-speak' to me, mate!!
*chuckles*
The issue with the 'hand-me-down' chart plotter is a resistor that controls the screen. I believe if you can take the motherboard out or just take the whole device to an electronics shop, it can be fixed [for alot less than a new one]. Just my two cents... love the videos, long time sub.
Adventures of an Old Seadog did a fix on his when his screen went nutty.
To much jargon mate? Ya just gotta get sheet the clews to match the CLR to the CE to minimise the moment required to alter the heading. Simple. So happy to see your video drop, cant wait to see the new wardrobe. Keen to get some new sails myself.
You may find reefing early and using the two headsails will make life easy,
To assist showing someone about being over powered , sail using the auto pilot with a centre mark on the wheel, sail and watch how far the mark is away from centre, thats visual reference,
Then reef as required they can see the mark go closer to centre,
'With one tack' works for me.
another great video
Great choice of music at 3:30!
I really like the music you found for the end of the video.
For leaks try "goop reg/ plumbing or formuflex very handy glues almost anything. Good luck
And, happy third anniversary on the ocean waves!
I could imagine it would take a while to get really in tune with your new "Hydrovane". Not sure its that actual brand but I think they should be on every cruiser boat so you have something when your hit by lightning !
I had not thought of that perspective thing, after 8 years in the Coast Guard, and about 5 years of watching sailing videos on RUclips, I forgot what it was like when I did not know nautical jargon.
good call on the epoxy. 5200 doesnt stick well to aluminum for very long. it tends to oxidize the aluminum at the bonding surface and suddenly its clinging tenaciously to a layer of white powder and not solid metal. lol, surprise :-)
First spring in 9 years that i find myself not prepping my Edel 665 for launch.....sold her last summer. Now living vicariously through your vlogs and enjoying them thoroughly. You two are the most articulate and fun loving couple on the virtual waters.
Looking forward to the detailed episode on the silent helmsperson.....you're so vane.
Cheers
Not ENOUGH sailing Jargon Adam. :P
That's how I'm learning. Hangout with the type and you'll learn the lingo.
OMG the water there looks amazing. Maybe it's too much work, but I think you should just talk in full sailor jargon and include layman speak subtitles in the RUclips closed captions! I don't know what all is involved in doing that, but I think it would be awesome. Maybe include a reminder to turn in subtitles in your intro bumper. Just add a permanent caption while your intro is playing, that says "click CC to see translations of sailing terms in real time" I am working towards getting my own boat and sailing off into the sunset, so seeing the jargon put into practice is really helpful.
16:13 Oh Turtle! 😂
Too bad about the "new to you" chart plotter. 😩
I laughed out loud on that one too!
That's sailor for "SQUIRREL!" :D
Double check for fuses inside the case on the connectors
Yea for the Hydrovane! That is an awesome addition and should serve you well. Will Hydrovane have a crew name (get personified) as on many boats.? Lovely episode.
My vote would be “R2”
How about "Heidi"?
