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 ...

ILCA 6 Laser Radial Dinghy Racing 25 Knot Gusts. Make the most of a windy weekend fly a kite or race a laser! What an absolute blast and a real work out! Dinghy racing at Mudeford Quay, Christchurch dodging wind surfers and trying to stay upright. First Dinghy this race that I didn't make some stupid mistake like forgetting battens, bungs or writing down the wrong course. Royalty Free Music: ww...
WE TRIED TO SAIL TO THE NEEDLES (AND FAILED)

In this outing I went out with James from JDS Driving School Wantage Oxfordshire. If your in that area and need driving lessons hit him up! www.jdsbookings.com/ We took Mustang my Seahawk 17 Sailboat out of Christchurch through Mudeford Harbour and headed for the Isle of Wight aiming for the needles hoping for some lunch on Anchor in Alum Bay. Unfortunately we were a bit overpowered and decided...

Introducing my new to me "1997 Boston Whaler Dauntless DC". Having got it home, given it a bit of a clean and sort out she's nearly ready to go on the water just as soon as we replace our tow car!
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...
Ooh, the posh club moorings 😂
Makes me feel sick 😂
😮
Nice, make more videos like this
Watch out for all those cables and ropes 🤢
Nice video. I run out of Christchurch too, I will try to look for you
Likewise! I had a little look at your channel. Some interesting stuff. I expect I'll head out toward Old Harry Rocks and Swanage fairly soon once I've got my Boston Whaler out, it looks lovely!
@yanafloat yes I saw your vid on the whaler, I will keep my eye open for you
No barnacles but a bit of algae. I’d rather the algae :-). She’ll get a clean at the end of the season.
The seaweed on your boat 😂
Splasher or that’s a big splash? 😝
Nice tour of your newly refurbished boat Yan!
As sound as you can afford it, get a tiller pilot. It transforms single handed sailing.
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.
@@yanafloat it might be worth trying a bungee cord & rope set up until you get your electrics sorted. There are examples on UA-cam.
i like
Great video Yan! Really enjoyed it 😊 I can’t tell, but I think your ‘front sail’ is either called a Genoa or Jib
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.
Nice!😄
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.
Glad you didn't take their offer. Hope you managed to get it all cleaned up after.
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
Thank you
i'm a car trader and when i sell cars it's nothing but eastern european fella's who want to come and view... i'm too clued up for there oil tricks, so they just start lowering the price right down, i just say go and buy something else this cars not for you and drive off, ohh and i NEVER give them my address
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.
Hope you got it all fixed up! Any update?
Did the police ever do anything I've reported it
They got back to me after 5 weeks! By then I’d given up stringing them along.
@@yanafloat thanks they stepping up a gear now 3 and they need stopping. Sorry had a bad day
Happened to me today on my mercedes this is criminal damage horrible people. Thank you for the video
This happened to me a few nights ago. But how can I fix what they've done? My highlander hybrid now goes into limp mode and all kinds of codes are coming up with check engine light and smoke coming from the engine all after the oil and coolent was flushed
Sounds like a garage job. Did the oil go through the cooling pipes into the engine? It’s possible they unplugged stuff. Look for disconnected plugs e.g. mass airflow sensor
@@yanafloat after three mid eastern dudes sabotaged my suv the main guy wanted to test drive it and when I let him drive he punched it hard, way past the speed limit so when we arrived at the meeting point the highlander was smoking a lot. I wonder if he caused extra damage from that. Or maybe after the flushing my vehicle went into a safety mode of some sort and that's why all the codes are flashing and it's in limp mode
@@digitalcurrency4737 it’s probably just smoking from the oil up the exhaust. Ref the error codes check for anything unplugged under the bonnet. Check MAS sensor, ht leads
@@yanafloat I'm so glad you posted this video. Thanks for your help. It's been a difficult week
Good job! I hate these scammers they need locking away for good!
run scans on your car and do a printout of the results for proof there is nothing wrong with your car.
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.
Most European look the same how could you tell they was albanian? For future perseverance.
Wow, you certainly caught those slippery-as-oil thieves red handed!
Good video and excellent videoing! 🤣
