    Thanks. I've been following your adventures. I'm sorry for the engine troubles. I'm not a sailor. (I'm a Staff Nurse in Theatres) in North Yorkshire in the UK. Keep working the problem Henk Jen. You've lots of loyal followers. We're all wishing you well. Safe travels, my friend! 👍

    The reason I watch your videos is primarily I like you, your cheerfulness and the stories you tell of your journeys.

    This video proves once again how quickly you can get into trouble with a boat and the dangers are seriously underestimated. I once got a piece of dyneema rope in my propeller. Propeller shaft broken and the boat sank due to water entering through the propeller shaft. I lost everything in no time. So be glad it's just your engines, it could be much worse.

    Hank you are an inspiration
    Following your RUclips channel, I did a skipper's license a year ago
    I bought a boat in France and sailed with my wife and two children
    From the center of France through the Rhine River to Switzerland Germany we also entered the Neckar River to the city of Heidelberg
    And we continued our journey through the Rhine to Holland (Friesland) it was in 2022
    This year we sailed for months across the length and breadth of the Netherlands, an amazing country and nice people
    Next year we are sailing from the Netherlands to Berlin
    It was really sad to see the last episode
    Of course, donating money is a great privilege to say thank you
    I hope all will be well and that Lady Liselot's will see more beautiful days

    I too have a trawler. In a different environment and with a different equiped boat. Yet, my boat is a 48' boat displacing 27 tons, has only one engine and I use it in the coast of Brasil. I have subscribed to learn from you. As I understand, you have passed the majority of your adult years in boats, or boating so, is good to know from you, a liveaboard. I have enjoyed all your episodes until now, the ones where everything went well, and the ones that not always things where good. Allow me however, to make a cobstructive critic:
    It does not matter that you have 2 engines, you should not use the throtles to continuously operate the vessel. The rudder does that. The throtles that you have are good to improve maneuverability in tight quarters. I have some milleage in open ocean myself and I have learned something. Simplicity of systems must rule in a recreational motor vessel intended to go offshore. The problems that you are having can be resolved and they will make you a better sailor. Don't quit!

    Hi Hank-Jan, you ask why I watch your videos? Well, I enjoy watching you sail your lovely boat in the canals and rivers of Holland, I learn a lot about your operations of waterways but I have to admit, I enjoy listening to you.! You are a funny guy who makes what could be a slow boring video very interesting and funny. When you first started the channel, I was one of your subscribers asking for subtitles so I could understand the lock keepers on the vhf. This really improved the videos for us UK subscribers. I really appreciate the effort you put in to filming and editing your videos as it’s so time consuming! I enjoy the content of your videos too, they are informative, interesting, well put together and humorous. I thank you for your channel and your journey. Sorry things were not good with your engines but keep smiling! 😁 Safe passage Andy U.K. 👍🏻👏⛴🥇

    I have started to watch your channel when going through a difficult time in my life. Similarly as you have put I have had hard time seeing positive things in life. I have an interest in boats and enjoy procedures, so watching you pass bridges and locks in the canals have given me some calm.
    I really like your commentaries and stories connected to the scenery, as well as the ambient music choice, which sometimes have reminded me of the original Transport Tycoon game from long time ago.
    I will check how I can contribute into the crowd fund scheme.
    My wish that you get back to the "sea" (whether it is the actual sea or canals) as soon as technically possible given the circumstances.

    Owning a boat, i also have an understanding of (unexpected) costs of maintaining a boat that are sometimes astronomical. So of course i donated a small amount of money to you and i hope that a lot of people will contribute to keep you and this amazing channel afloat (literally!). Good luck with the rebuild of your engines! And please make sure you eliminate the reason of failure going forward!
    Also please use your experience in the rebuild and everything around that as content for your channel. It will be very informative to fellow boaters.

    Goedendag, en ook ik ga je een aanwijzing geven. Mogelijk heeft iemand die al gegeven of is eea al duidelijk dan beschouw dit maar als niet gestuurd.
    Als ik jou was zou ik de beide oliekoelers druktesten zodat je zeker weer dat ze stuk zijn en koop je nieuwe terwijl dat niet nodig is. Bij Perkins (en andere motoren ook) zit nog een (zwak) punt waardoor je motorschade kan oplopen, namelijk is er een anti siphoning klep geplaatst tussen de droge uitlaat en het raw koelwater. Bij af en toe onderdompelen (lees zwaar weer) ontstaan drukgolven waardoor de klep (die misschien al een beetje slecht was) niet bestand tegen was. Hij gaat dan zeewater hevelen en dat komt dan van via de zuigers (zit een openingetje in de zuigerveren) in het carter. Watersmering gaat niet en hij loopt vast. In beide gevallen (defecte oliekoeler of syphoning klep) is je motor defect en dat is niet leuk, sterkte daar mee. De oorzaak kan iets simpeler zijn, geloof onderhoudsinterval voor het klepje op zoutwater is 2 jaar.
    iig sterkte met de reparatie, ik heb er vertrouwen in dat het weer goed komt.

      @herman7661 Год назад +3

      I agree. He does not need two 185 hp engines either. He uses the ship purely as a water displacement vessel and usually cruises at no more than 7 knots, very often using only a single engine. LadyLiselot displaces about 35 tons. She would be quite adequately powered by two 90-100 horsepower engines.
      I fully agree that he should not have the current engines rebuilt. The engines are about 40 years old, I believe, and they have been rebuilt once before, 25 years ago. One of the engines has now had sea water inside, which is really, really bad. The Perkins engines are also expensive units, with expensive spare parts.
      I agree with you: remove the current units and fit two new, 200 hp engines. My suggestion would by 6 cylinder, 5 litre Mitsibushis. These things can be had from various vendors here in Holland, at reasonable prices.

I can only encourage you to continue this way of presentation.
    By the way, I will take my family to a boat trip in Holland in October, starting from Vinkeveen. This is closest to our home, living just across the border from Venlo.

    I shall sign up! I have thoroughly enjoyed your Vlogs since the start and find your explanations and travels very enjoyable. It is the boat activity and explanations that I enjoy the most. Could your engine problems be caused by sea water siphoning in to the engines from the exhausts when you were rolling so much? If the goosenecks are not high enough I understand that can be the problem? I share your disappointment that Lady Liselot might not be the boat to take down to the Med save through the canals and air draft might be the problem I guess - or by road on a low loader? Don't despair. I, and thousands more, are willing you on.

    Henk, I enjoyed a lot of your videos. I made some videos myself (I'm also boating with a dutch steel boat in the baltic and north sea for more than 12 years) and I can estimate how much effort you put into it. Therefore, I'm glad I'm able to give something back by buying the Vimeo video and made a donation.
    As you said: That kind of failure (described in the paid Vimeo video) is very seldom. Two of them in 36 hours is unbelievable.
    I wondered what I would have been done when observing such symptoms on my DAF 825 engine... as you, I would not have been able to connect it with that broken device. Perhaps I would have stopped the engine to investigate further... but when at sea this might be difficult.
    Please keep your community updated what your experts tell you how this could happen, and what went wrong so that you didn't recognize any sign of this upcoming failure in the first place. Such experiences are very interesting for other boaters!
    Best of luck with fixing your engines and make your nice boat sail again! And keep smiling, regardless what lives throws at you.

    hey, de reden dat ik je ben gaan volgen is omdat je altijd the good, the bad & the ugly laat zien. Er zijn inmiddels zoveel vloggers die alleen het 1ste in hun videos editen - boring - jouw verhalen zijn real life; een nuchtere hollander die wel eens in de stress schiet, soms door eigen acties, we zijn allemaal hetzelfde, dus dat herkennen we heel goed.
    Daarnaast gooi je er nog in je beste steenkolen-engels een vleugje humor en zelfspot overheen, en dat maakt je content helemaal sticky.
    Een ongevraagd advies; luister niet naar ongevraagd advies. Ik zie dat veel kijkers in de comments meningen geven; van technisch tot psycholgisch, van sociaal tot veroordelend. Laat ze maar lullen, totdat je specifiek om iets vraagt, dan is het de moeite waard om te gaan lezen.
    Ik verwacht dat als je op fiverr je YT algortimes laten checken, je mogelijk je aantal volgers met x kunt vermenigvuldigen (sorry ongevraagd advies)
    Veel succes - laat je niet kisten.

  • @josephblansjaar5871
    @josephblansjaar5871 Год назад +6

    Henk-Jan, notwithstanding the potential cost of repair, consider that if you wish to continue with single-handed sailing you need to address the operating cost. One engine is cheaper to run than two. Wind power is cheaper than diesel fuel. Smaller and technically simpler boats are cheaper to run. Your chosen area of travel might keep you to enclosed waters (near and within the Netherlands or the canals and inland waterways of Europe and Scandinavia). I don't know your maintenance system but breakdown-maintenance is not a good way forward. I regret to say that there is a lot to be said for asking "why is it still working and what's it look like when I pull it apart" hence all the parts of the boat get serviced including major routine overalls. I think you are very knowledgable and clever in what you have done but, I suggest you might need to look at your boat as a business operating cost with a realistic understanding of the cost of ownership. Sadly I can't slip you $40K but I can offer you moral support and encouragement, you might need to consider an annual operating budget minimum of (say) $40K PA to support you in a boat (15 metre), one engine, a cutter rig sail and an enclosed deckhouse? Yes, you should keep the AIS and other navigation aides if you can?

    Hi!
    So sad for your mishaps. But what happend is due to negligence from former owner and you. Enough with criticism, you have learned the lesson. As a former naval officer we had personnel for this occasions but as privateer you dont and it will take a bite in your wallet…
    But if I were in your situation I would not accept a proposal of 40.000€ or more for rebuilding your engines it’s redicules high. There is no time to go to the big shipyards or big marineshops. You have to find someone with the skills and a small shop. The rebuild kits for your engines is around 1500€ for each machine plus the coolers and of course some more but not that much so it could motivate the costs you are offered.
    Perkins engines are renowned for their robustness and reliability so I would definitely go for a rebuild.
    Your engine room is so big so based on my experience from the Navy I think you can do the rebuilding in place.
    And when while you are fixing the engines you should also take you the time and check proppellershaft sealings and all hull cutthroughs and hoses.
    At last, yes I would pay for your film on vimeo but not with a 24 hour limit. I use to see longer clips divided on maybe a couple of days and sometimes go back to them so for now I pass.
    Wy do I look on your videos? I miss the boatlife and you give me some of that in a fun format so I can dream on..

    I had been out for the weekend diving offshore wrecks and about a mile off Bridlington Harbour my home port, my wife rang and said "What time will you be home", "I said I am a mile off, I will have to tie up and the lads unload their dive gear so a couple of hours"
    Bang! The engine went bang and we had no power, luckily The fishing fleet was coming back and I got a tow into the Harbour, My couple of hours tuned into the wee small hours getting home, Bugger!.

    Why I've subscribed?
    Because I love boats, sail boats and also motor boats (especialy trawlers).
    I sailed during my youth on my parent's sail boat, they lent me her, and I know a little bit about the subject.
    Seasickness: It happened to me, some time to time in certain circumstances, and my only method was to eat, having a well filled belly.
    It gives you psychological comfort, which is very important in the process of seasickness, and if it doesn't work, you're seasick, you have something to vomit at least.

    I am not a subscriber and have only seen one episode, the previous one. Where I made a comment that didn't go down well.
    The reason I'm watching this is to find out if you mess it up again.
    It amazes me that you, as an old sailor, are unable to make basic preparations and checks before you set sail!
    If you had, you would have noticed the color of the exhaust.
    You have loose objects in the engine compartment, is that a good idea?
    Why don't you optimize the boat's position in high seas? It seems that you have to go straight to the target no matter the weather or the wind.
    Sailing, with the sea, in a bathtub, is much worse than getting the sea into the side as long as they are not significantly larger than what you have here.
    Remember that it is not a sin to turn around or seek an emergency port to find out what the problem is.
    It's not to be ugly, but more and more people are coming to sea in their own boats who have nothing to do there. I'm not saying you're in that category.

  • @guydepoorter

    Dat beide motoren - nearly same time - uitvallen bewijst dat er onderhouds problemen zouden kunnen zijn. Zelf probeer ik het nodige onderhoud te doen, maar soms moet een mechanieker next level onderhoud uitvoeren ( koelcircuit checken, valves, injectors, pakking, turbos, anodes...). Op zout water laat ik de motoren spoelen met zoet water; zout maakt alles kapot specifiek koelsysteem. Koelsysteem lijkt de achillespees vd motoren te zijn. IMO.
    Leuke videos, good luck.
    Heb zelf nog nooit een cent ontvangen voor 55jaar boating, no hard feelings.

    Very sorry to hear about your serious mishap. I don't know the hp of your perkins but I had a 100hp perkins with only 470 hrs drop the valves and completely destroy the engine. Rebuilding cost were quoted at 12 to 15k US. Too rich for my pocket book. Instead I ordered a chineese built under license german marine diesel for about 5500$ us incl freight and lots of spares. They have units up to a few hundred HP. Maybe an option if crowd funding is not sufficient.

    • @LadyLiselot
      @LadyLiselot  Год назад +1

      Helaas is revisie van Perkins motoren niet: "Vandaag uitbouwen, morgen sleutelen en overmorgen er in." Het is veel wachten. Wachten tot de monteurs tijd hebben, wachten op nieuwe onderdelen, zoeken naar de juiste aansluitingen. Bijvoorbeeld 2x 3/4 knietjes. 4 bedrijven rondom hydrauliek hebben geen idee wat het is (25 jaar geleden aangesloten) en elke keer is het, "we kunnen ze bestellen" om er een dag later achter te komen dat men geen idee heeft waar te bestellen. Dan ben je een week verder. Dan dus in UK of US bestellen, en dan begint het wachten opnieuw. Een onderdeeltje van € 8,56,- krijgt dan € 45,- extra verzendkosten... En menigeen vraagt zich af "Waarom zijn die kosten zo hoog?".

    Henk-Jen. You did a fine job on the video, especially considering the stress. I hope many more viewers lend their support. You know well the saying "boats are a hole in the water to pour money into." The time comes for old engines and equipment to fail. Sometimes even new parts fail. Especially since you want to go where the sun always shines, don't try to save money but go for the best new engines that will give you peace of mind unless you really believe the present engines can be capably rebuilt. Are you thinking of changing to another brand such as Yanmar? Whatever -- we want you to be able to look back on this in six months or so from a sunny place and know that it is in the past.

    answer: to learn from another men faults, that is cheaper then to learn from mine.
    * before leaving harbour, always check engine- oil.
    * when in bad weather, dont demand extra power from the engines. Thats what a lot op people do.

    Heb je al contact opgenomen met je verzekering?
    Een jaar of 40 geleden had ik schade aan mijn bootmotor door oververhitting t.g.v. verstopte koelkanalen. Op advies van de reparateur nam ik direct contact op met de verzekering (Ik was zelf niet op dat idee gekomen!). Die stuurde een expert en tot mijn stomme verbazing werd een deel van de schade vergoed!
    En ruim 10 jaar eerder had een vaar-kennis van me een "vastloper" t.g.v. een gescheurd spruitstuk in het koelcircuit. En, voor zo ver ik me het verhaal herinner, werd ook daar een deel van de schade vergoed!
    Succes met de reparatie!
