Finally I've been able to sneak out in the Boston Whaler getting it out on sea and onto the plane the first time for me. As a total novice power boater this was a great learning experience. Doing my RYA Level 2 course tomorrow and hoping to gain more skills to be able to keep going at different sea states. It was a fairly calm day although still enough chop to keep me on my toes! Next outing I ...

Solo Sailing Mustang

My first Yan Afloat Video and my first time out in Mustang solo sailing, hoisting and lowering the sails on the move, a massive achievement for me and a step closer to solo sailing freedom. Stay tuned for more adventures as I learn and improve. There will be a lot more this summer including dinghy sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, speed boats and more. I'll try and improve my camera skills to...
"Oil in water" Scam!
Переглядів 1,3 тис.Рік тому
Be aware of this scam that appears to be getting more and more common. Sell your car safely. Be strict with buyers: 1. Do not let them view during the dark if they get stuck in traffic 'tough'! 2. If more than 1 person is coming to view insist they look it at 1 at a time 3. If you have the bonnet open and someone wants to distract you, then insist the bonnet is closed before you move. Check you...

      I will! this is certainly on my shopping list. Only issue I have is I have 0 electrics so it will probably come in an end of season re-fit along with nav lights some USB chargers and a little solar panel. I've also considered that on my next outing I should raise sail heading into the wind given how easily my sails came back down at the end of this trip without loosing control.

    Great video Yan! Really enjoyed it 😊 I can’t tell, but I think your ‘front sail’ is either called a Genoa or Jib

    • @yanafloat
      @yanafloat Місяць тому

      Yeah this one’s the Genoa, I’ve got a jib in the sail bag as well that’s only a tiny bit smaller. They are both pretty small though! They don’t even go all the way up the forestay. I reckon a much larger gib and Genoa could be cut but then again the boat won’t go much more than 5 knots so I guess it doesn’t need to be bigger, but I’d love a large jib to just use for downwind sailing since hoisting the mainsail as demonstrated is such a PITA single handed.

    Thanks Yan so much for this video. I was targeted by the same scam a couple of days ago near Winchester. Fortunately, I didn't accept their 'kind' offer of half the asking price. Not sure how badly damaged my engine (530d) is as drove for a few miles with multiple warnings flashing up on dashboard. Such a shame you can't trust people. The lads that turned up were actually quite likeable - as you say they rip you off with a smile.

      Hi @@yanafloat I did clean it up okay after thanks, though spent several hours doing so.... Just sold it to a dealer today via Mororway, as I didn't want to risk same listing on Autotrader again - I may have got an honest buyer, but it just seemed too much like tempting fate. Quite sad to see it finally go really, it's been a very good car over 6 years for me. Hope the next owner cherishes it as much as I did. Will be wiser when selling next time! Cheers, Stuart

    Thanks a lot video for the video Yan. This happened to me few days ago and I’m so glad I found your video. God bless you. I followed your instructions and took out the coolant reservoir. However, the coolant coming out of the hoses looked like it was mixed with oil. I probably need to do a flush of the system.

    Had a couple of Albanian guys and a cockney guy try this years and years ago with my mother and her mk5 2008 Golf GTI edition 30. She told the guys she had to wait for her son to get home until she could make the sale final…. This was due to her going back inside and then watching on cctv them do a exact similar thing to her car. Tried giving £5k for what at the time was a £20k to £23k.
