    In Mai 2021 I set off to cross the Atlantic alone and non-stop from Nassau in the Bahmas to Horta on the Azores, Portugal. It took my 25 days to sail the 2700 nautical miles on my Wharram Tiki26.
    I fight against bad weather, big waves, technical problems and the biggest of al problems, being alone for such a long time.
    This is part one out of two.

    incredible how this small 26' catamaran is probably more comfortable than a 40' monohaul in those conditions.

    What a great adventure. Your tiki 26 is one of the nicest I have seen. The pod integrates into the hulls nicely and adds a very usable space. You sure had a lot of good food for the voyage, good for keeping your spirits up. I look forward to your second video.

    looks small but the twin hulls are also used for extra storage 👍

    Great videos! You mention using a rope to slow you down during high waves. By how much did this slow you down, or keep you from surfing on steep tall waves? How thick was your rope? And you mention tying loops at the end?

    • @NiklausWildisen
      @NiklausWildisen  Год назад +3

      Thanks for your comment. I used between 20 to 40 meters of rope, around one centimetre in diameter. At one point I attached one line in a loop, each end attached to one hull, this slowed me down the most. But using two individual ropes allowed me to slow one hull down more than the other which was useful when sailing in an angle to the waves, in this case I had a bit of jib up and just wanted to avoid the surf.

    • @NiklausWildisen
      @NiklausWildisen  2 года назад

      Juuuulio, tudo bem? Are you in Guyana? I did many jobs as a skipper this year, all around in europe. I sailed Wayan mostly in Spain, but now he is out of the water ready for winter. What about Venus? Fair Winds to you!

    Wharram are so cool. How did you find living on a tiki 26 ? and ocean crossing on a tiki 26 ? Does it handle rough seas ? ... love your channel

    • @NiklausWildisen
      @NiklausWildisen  2 года назад +2

      It can be a wet ride, but the seas I encountered were handled well by the Tiki. I never had more than max. 3m of waves…

    Where's part 2? did you make it? (the voyage? or did you sink mid-atlantic? the recorded tapes found floating on the surface...) i mean, did you make part 2 yet?

      I'm grateful for what sounds like Schwitze Deuuuuutsche.... keine annung becomes "khaOnichhh" etc... funny to hear in the middle of the ocean, especially as you get funny with language while being alone... it's helpful for people learning your language and dialect.
