Tessie got a new eye! Testing the Raymarine FLIR M300C lowlight and zoom camera.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- Check out the Tessie's new enhanced vision as Raymarine let me test their FLIR M300C low light and 30 x zoom camera. This is a big lift for my singlehanded navigation. The camera sits 4 meter up the mast on its Scanstrut support bracket, and is connected to my 3 x Axiom chartplotters. The camera is gyro stabilised, meaning keep the camera lens still while the boat is moving around in the waves.
It is able to keep a clear vision, even in very low light conditions. A 30 x zoom lets me see obsticles, ships and other objects far away to chart the surroundings while navigating.
This will be a very cntral part when closing into the ice of Greenland in a few weeks. I also hope to detect polarbears and whales as I enter the icy, cold coast.
Getting prepared for departure in just a few days now!

Careful you
don't
Sink Tessie with all that tech and big boys toys Erik.
Can't wait to see it all in action.
Stay Safe
Be well mate
Father Christmas arrive very early this year. Congrats with the new FLIR camera.!!👍💪
That's a great addition to the boat.
Cool setup... seven grand just for the camera. It's gonna add bonus content to your ALREADY amazing episodes. It's just you and Sam for my favorite single-handers. Thanks
Hi Erik. Thanks for another cool video.
Cameras a great addition and will be one more thing to keep you entertained during downtime or viewing beautiful landscapes.
Erik, pls be careful. Your illness is stealing your vitality. You must be aware that you cannot push as hard as you once did. If you do push yourself, I fear you may end up harmed. The Force 10 vid is what brought me to your channel -- agreed. But you are interesting for many reasons. You do not need to put yourself in danger to maintain your viewership. We are already sold on your vids.
Great installation! Amazing camera.
Erik, stort tack för att du delar med dig av dina äventyr! :)
Greenland🇬🇱. ..I do hope you make it this time. - YOU do deserve it.
N.B.J.S. 💪👊🇳🇴
You are most impressive!! 😮🤗👍❤. This is going to be an epic voyage, for sure, with amazing footage. You must be getting a little anxious now. I hope you get some good sleep and build up your strength before you go! Take care.😎🤩😊
Such a beautiful boat.
Nice kit 👍🏴
Great idea and well done!
Excellent piece of kit 👍

Congratulations Erik!!!
You’re going to make it this time 🎉 I can feel it!!
I can see Iceland already…very excited and can’t wait. Stay safe.
Maybe many boats will be doing watches from below deck! if you put this on top of the mast you can have full visibility without being blocked buy the headsail, keep up the good work!
Erik, I’m so happy for you to have the latest safety equipment, if anybody can benefit from it, it would be you. 👍👍
I proudly wear your hat everyday. ❤
_"if anybody can benefit from it, it would be you"_
That sounds mildly insulting 😂
Yes and then go on deck with 35 knots wind ……with no personal safety gear at all…….😮
Brilliant picture
Really sweet camera. Very nice.
That zoom is immense!
Wow, what a piece of tech. Good luck. Will follow.
I am new to sailing and I bought my first sailboat last year, a small 25ft, 50 years old boat that I have since working to restore. Doing most of the work on my boat alone as well, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the effort and extra planning involved when working by yourself! Congratulations on the new equipment
Awesome dude!! That’s a lovey bit of kit. Really looking forward to the Greenland trip, and hopefully this makes it a little bit easier for you.
Nice piece of safety equipment.
You're still amazing! You're a Viking that moves with the time and I'm sure that the old Vikings are delighted with you and your trips!!! I wish you health, luck and never ending courage for your new episode!
Thank you! Yes Vikings were always on a lookout for metodes to enhance their navigation
Now you're looking for polar bears! Ha love it!!
👀👀😎
Nice kit.
very kewl Eric
Good luck, Erik. You'll do it this time.
£7000??? Bloody hell. I would want it to show me videos all night as well and do my washing up haha Can't wait to see it in action.
Yeah and wake me a with a bj
I suspect it will be of limited usefulness when under sail.
@@johnwhite626Don't know. This equipment is very rare to see in such small yatchs (due to costs, mostly, obvious), but virtually every "big" yatch has one. It is certain that Erik will end having more electronics onboard 34 feet Tessie than on a US Navy destroyer...
@@alamos8 lol - and a maintenance schedule to keep him busy sorting out electrical issues..
And the amount of power required by all his “Raymarine gear” must be A Lot!!! But, free is free!😂
That's quite cool thing! I wonder what's available in few years when the moment comes to get equipment for SeaCamel... 😛
Woooow very nice
That zoom was incredible! It was more stable than I could be with binoculars. I hope it records footage. What a great addition to your solo adventures!
It can record to a usb port/ memorycard. Will be a great addition in many ways!
great camera
That FLIR is HUGE!! My gosh!
Very nice! I like that shirt design, I already have a polo.
Cool toy!
This is the most awesome channel on RUclips
Alluring Arctic Sailing are a very very close second. They also are about to sail to Greenland using the Northwest Passage.
Norway vs Finland
An excellent piece of work, Erik. If this makes your journey safer as a solo sailor, it's worth every penny. Given the huge pressures that are already exerted on a mast, the mounting of this camera will be inconsequential.
Love the Raymarine FLIR M300C install Eric. She will make a big difference as you navigate single handedly.
Just installed the app!!!! Very cool!
WOW! a lot of electronics, you should have an enhance peace of mind and sleep. The best of luck for your journey to Greenland and a very successful one. Have a safe and fun adventure!
Man that's a top FLIR camera , You are a very lucky man Erik .
tight sails my friend

This mast looks more and more like a Christmas tree. 😁I hope people will start to merge more and more of these sensors into small and effective modules. But if it ads extra protection for single handler- it is worth the clutter I guess.
Erik, thank you for the introduction to our first-ever patented Smart Collision Prevention System. We look forward to you testing it out at sea and wish you a safe voyage!
Thank you! This will be awesome😎😎
Hello Eryk* I see that you are not only a sea wolf, but also... a mountaineer :) You told the story nicely and showed the modernization. With your narration and film talent, even such technical editing becomes interesting* Regards
1:46 Cool. Tessie is the only sailboat I know of that could have it's own IT Department!! 🤣
😂😂
😂😂poor Eric, all this teasing in the comments. Fortunately, this Viking has a sense of humour! 😂😂😂😂
I am amazed that drilling into a mast is preferable to a clamp based mounting system. Not being a mech eng that is.
Veldig bra, Raymarine!
Great vids,teck sharing much appreciated never a dull moment.Please wear a harness when not in the cockpit.Don't use up you'r luck.will help keep you'r valuable channel going.
Cool system. Help you see obstructions in the water and any problems with the boat inside the cabin. Cheers🍻⛵
Thats pretty sweet, but wont the sails be in the way a lot of the time?
Camera is slightly installed towards starboard of center making it possible to at least see straight forward when sails are on port side. And one can always change the course to one side to get view for a minute😇
If you put it on the masthead you could have a 360 degree view. I guess that’s a trade off with the extra mass aloft. Or you could get two cameras, one on each side of the mast :-)
marine electronics Are Awesome !!!
Fantastic!👏🏼👏🏼
Weird is good!
Love your channel Erik. Looking forward to the Greenland adventure MK4 (or is it MK5;) Many years ago I used to live in Haugesund and still have many friends there. Love seeing Risoy Broen in the background. Many winter days walking across that bridge in the rain and wind ⛈️ to go to work! trygge reiser
Thank you! I think its MK4 now, losing track😅
Looks like you're getting lots of good toys to help keep a lookout! The shallow water warning should help avoid running Tassie aground again i hope!
That one will wake you up for sure!
Cool beans👍🍸
Good video. Of course I want one... but it's more a wow then must have. The one time I absolutely needed a mast camera is when I first flew my asymmetric spinnaker. I could not see what was in front of me. So no spinnaker just sailing around near the marina in a lot of traffic.
But then I'd need a camera above the spinnaker -- which would be at or near the top of the mast. And it would also have to be above the foresails as well. ...
One thing a mast camera has proven really useful for my friends: docking and picking up mooring buoys. And FLIR is good in any light level.
How was the camera performing at the top of the mast? Is it able to handle motions well? Did you use a self leveling platform?
Beste oppdagelsen på youtube på ei god stund ❤
Thats a cool piece of kit. Not something I'll ever have, but still cool.
Your app looks awesome! I'm looking forward to following your next trip, Erik. Thanks for creating such amazing content to share with us.
YESssssssss!!!!! 👏👏🍺
🙂stay safe⛵
What a superb device ... ok so it's not cheap, but then again, what navionics products for sailing are cheap? None :) And if it can automatically "stand watch" for you while you rest, then it has to be worth it ... will make a lot of difference to solo or twin sailors everywhere ... twins because you end up standing watch while your partner rests, which can mean you never see each other, other than for 5 mins at watch handovers. I've also downloaded the app - nice one! Will be fun tracking you on the upcoming Greenland trip :) Happy sailing Erik, and a safe time of things too.
thirty years ago I spent a lot on Raymarine bits, the alternator regulator went silly and all those bits were dead.
Raymarine failed to allow for overvoltage with a 2 cents regulator protection, which I think was a criminal ommision.
I hope for you their new stuff is protected to an industry standard.
Even Clipper are, and they are cheap.
Best of luck with this years Greenland trip.
Hi Erik, looks great. Was there no way to feed the wires inside the mast?
I'm looking for something like this to attach to the pulpit. I usually sail in very busy waters and with a camera on the pulpit I'd be able to see vessels approaching in my blind spot on the lee.
Very cool, I live just a few miles away from FLIR headquarters and research and development
Keep it simple is not for you 😂
Det blir gøy å følge med dette man 😎👨✈️👨✈️👊
Erik, do you have a clear view forward when the headsail is set to starboard? Cool gear; But it also costs €6,759.00 without the cable and switch. Plus another €480 for the Scanstrut Mast Mount.
i love you man
That's a really cool boat. Really nice technology on it. Ever thought about doing a circumnavigation?
Every day😇
2nd tag-along view; 6th LIKE.
Very nice safety addition: 2 questions:
1. Will those 12 drill holes weaken the mast?
2. What is your mast climbing gear?
Thanks,
Jules
It wont for sure not make it stronger, but reviting the holes they get somewhat restrenghtened
Amazing! I wonder, Eric, is it ever possible to ascend the mast out at sea (to fix a problem) if necessary as you did when installing the camera? Or would it be simply too dangerous?
Its possible as long as the boat is somewhat steady.
@@erikaanderaa good to know, thank you for reply!
Love your content. Why did you mount it offset from centerline?
Thanks! To be able to have vision aftwards. Port aft beam I can live without. And also to get the camera slightly away from the staysail👍
Very cool camera, Erik - can you record from the video feed?
Yes! Thats also a big deal with the instalment😀
👏👏👏
Woa! I want one! Please can I have one Uncle Erik?
If you are a good boy for Christmas it might turn up😎
Hi. I am a sailor from Poland. What does the image from the FILR camera look like during a storm? Rain may distort the image. Have you checked? Did this camera pass the test?
Just downloaded the app!
Great, thanks🙏
Linking and visual tracking AIS targets is pretty spiffy. I thought it would be handy to track a MOB - but that is less than useful for a single handed.😉
A good kit for new adventures to come. How about the one the top, the collision avoidance?
It is getting an upgrade/ new control unit tomorrow!
Great stuff, wouldnt it smart to seal the wooden ( balsa core) sandwich of the deck-holes with epoxy ? Holes tend to leak sooner or later and rotten sandwich core is usually the ( economically) end of a boat
@erikaanderaa cool tech, for sure! Unrelated, im curious if you have to drive far to get to your marina to work on your boat?
Only a 10 min trip☺️
@@erikaanderaa Lucky! I recently moved my boat from a 45min away marina that was at the end of a deep fjord, to one that has better access to open waters but is 90min away. Cheers 🍻
Hi Erik, I am working in Haugsund for a couple of weeks are you in port?
how much power does it use? and wont your cutter sail hit it?
It might slightly touch it if tacking, but should be within limits
is there a small blind-spot port-starboard?
It looks like an owl, a real one eye pirate owl :)
Tessie…the fully integrated Aegis Frigate edition 😎🤓 🤖
👏💓👏💓👏💓👏💓
Lovely setup how much power does this consume? SV Skoiern lV 🎉
I hope they gave that to you! A commercial like that would cost Raymarine thousands upon thousands.
Won't the screw holes for the FLIR create a week point in the mast Eric ?
Not much when revited I believe. Masts are pushed downwards, compressing the mast.
@@erikaanderaa The rate you're going all your new toys will be worth more then the boat lol.
rivets, good sir, not nails, just FYI, love your channel!
that Camera will be good and add to the video when the weather kicks up
