    Lots of questions about our watches! Here's the link, they are by Garmin. Descent MK2 for Brett and the MK2s for Jade.

      Very nice watches. Thanks for the come back. I was just taken by the flashing light on the back of the watch (I could only assume it was an alarm). Being a nite person, I like the idea of a quiet alarm.

      @@californiakayaker in thier defense sailers new they were against the terms of service. Starlink is trying to update the plans to match how people are using it. Off shore is much more traffic on the satellite network. They need to use lasers to forward the data between satellites until they get over a ground station. When you compare data pricing to iridium sat phones it's an incredible deal at even 10x the current price

    The bouey marker you closed on was a radar reflector so a boat can find it again after it soaks a while. It could mark anything, but is most commonly used to mark the end of a driftnet or longline fishing rig.

(that we see, lol) Just a great day and with the sea conditions so prime, it makes me glad to share the world with young uncomplaining folks making the dream work. Thank you, you five. . .

    Five of us aboard a friend's 40' sailboat to and from Bermuda in 1997 in 8 foot seas the tack piece on the jib that held it to the bottom of the furler just like your main was wore through and I had a hand stitching awl like you had, tethered up, sat on the bow legs around the bow and took 35 or 40 minutes to hand stitch the piece back in place going up and down 8 to 10
    and getting soaked in the process. I told the owner it would hold for this trip but when we got back he needed to get the sail into a loft and let them do it better. He ended up selling the boat and never touched fixing it. It was just enough sea state to make it exciting and just a wee bit dangerous. I had two others spotting me and was carefully tethered in as I worked. Makes the heart race 300 miles out in the Atlantic so I related to your issue.

  • @1425race
    @1425race Год назад

    Brett, it looks like your main halyard is about 12mm polyester. That stuff stretches quite a lot making it hard to keep the luff tension constant and therefore maybe causing that chafe on the tack fixing. Next time when you replace it use a non-stretch dyneema or spectra core with a polyester cover for all your halyards. If it still slips through your jammers put a camcleat behind the jammer.

  • @timdunn2387
    @timdunn2387 Год назад +2

    Brett, on a long passage it is kinder to your halyards to leave them loaded on the winches, rather than being crushed in the jammer jaws for weeks on end. In some cases the latter can lead to the outer sheath parting, leaving the core to run free. Great passage thus far. Well done.

    • @robm.4512
      @robm.4512 Год назад

      Couldn’t agree more, clutches are great but do have that drawback.
      My own preference is to cleat them off and leave the winches unloaded to avoid unnecessary localised wear on spindles, bushes and bearings, but I don’t think there’s a cleat handy in their layout. Haven’t noticed one anyway.
      Definitely worth pointing out for others to take note of though.

    • @ExpeditionEvans
      @ExpeditionEvans  Год назад +2

      This is solid advice. Both halyards come to the port winch so I'd have to choose which to load up. Also don't love the idea of having to clear the halyards off just for a quick mainsheet adjustment for example.
      Solution would be cleats, I'll play with the idea, they'd have to go down over corner by where the line bag is, but that could work well actually.

      @@ExpeditionEvans Cool, if you do decide to fit a couple of dedicated cleats in the future, make sure that you fit some good sized and robust stainless backing plates under the f’glass to spread the load to avoid flexing and gel-coat cracking. Some people, I’m one of them, additionally like to sit the cleats on either a hardwood block or another stainless plate to increase their footprint and further reduce localised loads and resultant flexing of the f’glass.
      Anyway, everyone’s got their own preferences and ideas regarding the details but the basics of the requirement for load spreading remain true.
      Bottom line, chafe is never a good thing…as anyone who’s had sand in their wetsuit will know. 😂
      You’re doing a great job with your routing, no point in beating either yourselves or the boat up if you’re all happy, not on a schedule and you’re fully provisioned.
      Enjoy the ride!
