Motor Sailing to Tasmania Preparation

We are planing to motor sail to Tasmania. But first some preparation. Take a look at all the videos in order / playlist
?list=PLZDTNU10MTYq35rKF-gDKpJT4-cir_eQb
We motor sail extensively along the East Australian Coast on our 13 meter catamaran. Join us as we explore new cruising grounds, cross bars, fix all kinds of problems, ride out rough weather and live aboard for extended periods.
We even have a playlist that gets us on other peoples boats.
We hope that our videos encourage others to get on board and experience this fantastic lifestyle.

Hi Norm
Have you ever been to Flinders Island on your tasty trips?
Killiecrankie Bay is a beautiful spot with safe anchorage and plenty of moorings
You might even catch a crayfish

[@walterbarbiconi924]

Gday Norm my Name is Walter and I am subscribed to your channel, you are doing a great job on your videos keep up the good work mate. there is a question I would like you to answer for me if you can please, the question is this what advice would you give to someone like myself who is thinking of doing exactly what you are doing living on board a boat while travelling up and down the coast of Australia and what type of boat would be best suited for that type of adventure.

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Depends on many things Walter.
Age
Fitness Level
Finances.
Knowledge
My boat is perfect for me at my time of life, but sailed a lot when younger.
Anything around 40ft should be big enough to live on comfortably and keep it as simple as possible.
The main advice is get out and do it. It's a great lifestyle.
Cheers dude.

[@justintilley4458]

Ripper dude

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Thanks Ethan Dude.

[@ralph9987]

did I miss something?
did the spring fix the oil pressure issue? did the realignment fix the vibrations??

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Upcomming episode dude.
No spring helped... I put mechanical gauges on motors... Pressure OK.
Allignment helped
