    I did enjoy that video, and have a number of things to source now. I did have most of those but the big buckets, mosquito netting, turkey baster, and tubular water pump are important future additions. And I enjoyed your presentation. We went memory foam day one, but as an overlay. I think I will look at a full depth memory foam mattress.

    Please don’t think that I am trying to be anything but helpful, but WD-40 is good for removing anything petroleum. Tar, oil, and grease. It is fantastic for that, but to actually lubricate, there are a ton of aerosol lubricants that do a better job of not allowing problem areas to dry out and rust.
    I absolutely enjoy your channel, and intend to join you in the sailing community later this year, as I am currently actively sailboat shopping.
    Thank you for your help and advice!
    Paul!

      Thanks Paul! - yes i agree. I usually use 3 in 1 after wd-40. The wd-40 seems to get any moisture out and any rust soaks it up. I've used it on the sail track on the mast with good results

      Not a criticism but just a tip, the music is very loud and thumpy, it makes it difficult to watch/hear the video.

    Your laptop cable turns 120/230v to 12 for the computer. You are turning your battery 12/24v into 120 and back to 12v. Needless to say that you are losing efficiency. You can just buy a laptop cable that takes 12v for the price of any new laptop cable. I did this for my camper and used it for a laptop by day and CPAP by night.

    Excellent tips thank you , couple questions, I am retro fitting my 38' Sail boat right for, so have few questions, I see you have airX wind turbine, is it 12 V and how much watts does it generates ? and how about the noise how bad does it get? what type solar panel you guys have and how much Watts does it generates ? thanks

    The original metal jerrycan was designed to be the weight a decently fit man could carry one in each arm for a certain distance (I don't remember, probably 1/2m or 1km). That weight is about 40lbs or 5 gals each arm, or you can carry 10 gals. But those SE Asian women who weigh

    WD-40 & Duct Tape.
    If it’s supposed to move and it don’t, use the WD-40.
    If it moves when it shouldn’t use the Duct Tape👍

    What type of memory foam mattress do you use? I am desperate to replace the mattress in the forepeak of our C&C35mkII.

    • @SailingBalachandra
      @SailingBalachandra  4 года назад

      I believe it's memory foam and matress foam sandwiched together. It's about 10 in thick

    Okay why don’t you have a water maker?
    Also why don’t you have a basic whole house water filter to clean your water?
    Do you have a small elected fuel transfer pump again you can put a fuel filter and water separator.
    And you can get an electric water sump pump

    Just found your channel .. Yes, I get sea sick. I found a pressure skillet; only 2-1/2" high and comes up to pressure much quicker than a standard cooker. oh, and lose that irritating background noise.
