I like the closeup of your purring co sailor 😊

Thank you Rich & Jeni! I was searching for how-to video, saw this and thought, “hey, I know these guys!” Hope you’re doing well.

Are you concerned about the sliders rusting out?

Great stuff. What solar panels did you end up going with (size, watts, brand)? Also, what made you go with those?

Thinking about using this for my starter battery terminal. However, I'm a bit concerned about the heat. Would the heat under the hood cause it to melt?

"That's interesting." I enjoyed watching someone else work on a boat. I would be curious to know if that lowest gudgeon will have continuity when sitting in salt water. That is one sweet catamaran in the background.

Solars looking great! I need one of these arches in my life, and the solar, and a wind gen!

Thanks for the video. Just bought a boat with one of these aboard, thanks for unraveling the mystery.

Oh man... electrical troubleshooting. What fun. Maybe the interrupt is coming from galvanic corrosion between the stanless shaft and bronze fittings.

Love the solar set up. Where’d you get the slide set up for the panels? The heat down here is kicking my butt. Can’t wait for the pool to be open. Thanks for sharing guys.

I just tuned in to see a Turkey dinner on the boat and I got Jenny doing all the hardwork without complaint. You 2 are a team. When do you project going back in. Going to be in El Centro end of February. Also did you ever live in Fallon. Considering moving there. Looking forward to part 2.

Nice video, Rich. I’m looking forward to your update on the solar installation and how that is all working for you. Just because I can’t help myself, I will be that one in the crowd (there is always one) who mentions that your ‘t-nuts’ aren’t t-nuts. They are barrel nuts, sometimes referred to as sex nuts. T-nuts have barbs on the inside face that keeps them from turning. Happy Thanksgiving.

I always learn something new.. It’s weird moving rudder to get contact.. Seems like something isn’t connecting unless moved.. I like how you finished your solar and arch.. I am impressed.. My wife is concerned about our trip to Mexico next year, we are going to refit our sailboat there.. Just wondering what your monthly cost on the hard is?? ie Mexico compared to California.. We have a lot of work to accomplish in 10 months on the hard.. Knowing who to contact setting up a reservation etc is really important and stressful.. Thanks for sharing your experiences

Love the boat. Always look forward to the videos. Currently in Los Gatos. Hopefully share some wind someday. Fair winds.

Is it possible to get some links where you purchased your equipment?

Great thanks!

What brand of pump is that you are using. Thanks

We have the same boat 1983. Do you remember what size tanks you installed?

So now that you've had the stack pack for 5 years, how do you like it? I've got a traditional mail sail cover with lazy jacks. It's hard to pull down the cover and fasten it due to the lazy jacks. I'm thinking to either replace it with a traditional cover with slots to accommodate the lazy jacks or a stack pack. Never had a stack pack before. Not sure if windage and interference with wind flow matters for a non-racer when using a stack pack. Oh, also my cover now covers the front and sides of the mast with its on-mast winches and hanging lines. Looks like a stack pack would leave those exposed. Important or not?

Fallon, NV Good memories onboard the base. 😊👍🏼

I was wondering for a while how to fit a solar arch on a canoe stern!! Looks great! I really want one but with a dingy and outboard lift and wind gen. I wonder if the rear legs could handle the sheer load, being attached to the outside.

Great job with the arch!

It is so good to see another boatwork video from Ramble On, I always come away with a thought or the beginning of a solution for a job on our boat. You may be interested in the stainless drawer slides from Sugatsune when it’s time to change out the ones you installed. They are reasonably priced, 304, and seem well made. I got mine from Outwater Industries.

That arch & solar does look great !! 😊

That is very cool, can’t wait to see it loaded! Nice cushions, love the fabric. 😅

This is brilliant thank you very much. Super clear and exactly what we would like to do as we can not afford the 12K quoted to construct a solar arch on our yacht.

Great video guys. That arch is awesome

Great video, I always learn something new with you guys.. question was it more economical buying the arch compared to manufacturing yourself? I realize you can up your solar panels to have plenty of power but your radar will be moved to another location maybe on the mast?? Thanks for another great video..

question: was looking at buying a mantas anchor what do you have?

I love your videos. I look forward to each one and even re-watching old ones

Awesome. Are you taking orders?!!!

Worked for me also, thanks a million !!!

Thanks for great video. Can you please tell what is your nice boat model and size?

Enjoy your time away, hoping you continue the content. You guys are good, good information and knowledgeable DYI.

Great video. I didn’t really realize how much you had to do to leave your boat. ❤❤❤❤

That was a good season. Haulout is a relief but sad as the season ends. I think it’s the big change to dirt world that shocks one’s routine. Germaine did you a solid fending the angle iron finger dock. My favorite part was that crazy blonde in the tie dye t-shirt. 😉Great video. See y’all down the road. @sv_solmate

Congrats on a great year. I enjoyed your pace. I subscribe to SV Basik and Linh can’t sit for more than 3 days before they have to move. Take some good video of Puerto Penab… thinking it would be a good expat move due to its proximity to the border.

Great looking installation. Of course there was an air gremlin in the line. This is a boat.

Quite an adventure with the rescue.... good on you guys. Makes me want to upgrade my medical emergency kit which is primarily whiskey and pain killers - kidding. I also jigged that anchorage, but in July and kept catching 4' foot sharks so I stopped. After analyzing tides and winds and..... to avoid a strong current on the nose going into San Fransquito... I still screwed up and had the bounciest 30 minutes of my 3 years in the SOC making the turn from south into the bay. I could not stand at the helm it was so bad. 20kts of wind against a 3 or 4 kt oppossing tide, what a shit show.

Are you still at Safe Marine? Tim on Coconut here (at Cabrales). Either way, it was nice to meet you and Jeni. . I just watched this video and want to ask - if you only use the foot switches and not the remote to raise and / or lower your anchor does the remote still count? I'll be rewiring my windlass to install a switch at the helm. I wonder if the Lofrans remote would count correctly, or at all, on a different mfg's windlass. Hmmm.

Why didn’t you just leave the elbow on the riser and the exhaust hose wouldn’t need to bend?

Velcro? F’ing Velcro? Are you kidding me? 🤦‍♂️

Me personally, while it might not be the best way to do it, is that after putting the sealant down and putting the other object against it, do not fully tighten for a short period of hours, depending on the type of product and conditions you’re using it in. Allowing the sealant to start curing so when you do put pressure on it by tightening, the caulk doesn’t completely squeeze out. In fact, making a gasket before you pull the whole thing together. Hopefully that makes sense.

Oh my gosh I'm still laughing hysterically at the "bat" in the fridge (which turned out to be a styrofoam ice chest squeaking on the fridge door.) Miss you guys! Lisa

It was fun sharing your birthday 🎂 Pity about those abandoned houses, as you say.. why would someone just up and leave!! Aah Poor Lisa , and the bat ! 😂

Why is it a red tide

Restaurants!!

Are those places abandoned homes??

Yes I would 😂

Livestock!!!
