I am commenting mostly to help with youtube stats but with the opurtunity i want to tell you that your channel is a true treasure. Thank you so much for sharing your knowlege. I have very small, 5.6 meter sailboat (lanaverre alios) and i still thinik to fit a pilothouse on her! Totally agree with your point! Every adventure or crusing sailboat must have a pilothouse!
Hello Peter. Its your boat neighbor Marisol. I really enjoyed meeting both you and Steve last week. So glad to know there are people like you out there in the wild living life to its fullest! I hope Steve has made it out of the country ok and off to a good start on his adventure. Your videos are terrific.
You are an amazing character that has lived a life I always dreamed of but unfortunately for me I get too sea sick. Never the less I enjoy you spinning a yarn.
Yeah got to admit if I was sailing the world or just living aboard I'd definitely want a pilot house. Anyway it's so much better when the weather isn't warm and it's raining and howling outside
Couldn't agree more on having a pilothouse! Unfortunately I do not have one. I have what I call a "poor man's pilot house" on my Cape George. I have a dodger and leverage that for shelter. If things are under control and I don't have my foulies on, I sit at the top of my companionway stairs under the dodger. Its comfortable (I have a cushion), I can see the nav instruments, and have a remote for the pilot I can use in this position. If its raining and I have my foulies on, I crawl up on the cabintop underneath the dodger to try and keep out of the elements. In this mode I mostly keep outside to try and keep too much water from getting down below. Its a definitely a compromise! The next boat will have a pilothouse if it is big enough! Thank you for your videos! Tim - s/v Patience (Cape George 38)
Hello Peter! I hope this message finds you well. I have been thinking of you and your great adventure. I am excited to hear back about your current trip to the Marshall Islands. I am praying the ocean is being kind to you.
Thank you! The ocean was indeed kind to us - Ahaluna and me. We arrived safe and sound July 5, after 44 days, 5,340 NM. New videos will be posted real soon. Best - Peter
I also have a Hundested C P Prop. Please explain how you set up your decompression and compression starting system, which I want to setup. I have always turned the flywheel to TDCentre. I recently overheated my engine running very slow RPM with to much pitch. I didn't know this was a concern. I also now realize that running slow reduces the keel cooling water flow volume.
My Isuzu DA120 engine comes with provision for decompression, it is not something you can "set up". It is a lever on the valve cover that "de-activates" the camshaft, no valves closing = no compression. Ideally you should have a pyrometer in conjunction with a VP propeller to prevent overloading. This a huge concern. EGT (exhaust gas temperature) should be no higher than 900ºF/480ºC when at full cruising RPM 1250 in my case, but I keep it much lower at lower RPM. At 1100RPM I go with about 650ºF/350ºC. These are the numbers I use, and they are based on many conversations with ship engineers. Ships engines have a pyrometer for every cylinder, I have only one, at the end of the exhaust manifold, the sensor in way of that cylinder's exhaust port. I wish you good luck. Best - Peter
I can handle the sheets from the cockpit, however, I am not of the "do everything from the cockpit" school of thought. Handling boom preventers, boom vang, reefing or furling the main all require going on deck, and so do inspections of everything.

Loved the video and I’m somewhat envious of the life you have lived. Sounds amazing.

So much wisdom!
Thanks for the tips. Hopefully I’ll be starting my adventure in a few years
Just when I think I'm too old for sea-going adventures (I'm 69), along comes the Ancient Mariner with more inspiration! 🌴😎
Mais uma aula!!!! É muito importante ouvir pessoas com EXPERIÊNCIA, e que conhece as necessidades, obrigado pelos vídeo!!!
One more explanation!!! Is very important listen experimented people, who knows the demands, thanks for the vídeos!!
Amazing videos! I dream about building a boat my self. These videos give valuable info and are great inspiration. Cheers from Finland!
hyvää päivä,. Been to Mäntyluoto and Oulu a few times.
Nice! The coast of Finland is beautiful at summer but too frozen in the winter 🥶😎@@AncientMariner

Awesome
Can't wait for the update.
I would love my next boat to be a pilot house cutter
👏👏👏
love your videos. How long are you in PV for ? plans for a relocate ? Craig from Ottawa.
Actually La Cruz, near by. Plan to have things sorted out by early spring.
Love it what year and model is this boat?
1977. Watch "Build of a Lifetime" and the other videos.

@@AncientMariner thanks Peter, travel safely. Regards Billy
A pilot house for me! Thank you Ancient Mariner, I love your boat.
Is there any way to control your sheets without going outside?
I can handle the sheets from the cockpit, however, I am not of the "do everything from the cockpit" school of thought. Handling boom preventers, boom vang, reefing or furling the main all require going on deck, and so do inspections of everything.
I always enjoy going forward, sometimes just to stretch my legs and feel the boat under my feet. That's for sharing!
Thanks for sharing!
Vraiment fascinant 👍🏻✌🏻🇨🇦
