Only had deer out in California where I grew up. Dont elk have antlers?

Pretty sure that’s what it was.

Only one or two more states to Wyatt Earp's grave. It's right around the corner from Energica in Daly City.

I'm about a week behind on editing. In SoCal now. Will be up near his grave in just under a fortnight. I should go visit it so he doesn't feel shunned or something.

@ZeroFun i figured. Just putting it out there for next time. You're not allowed to bury people in San Francisco. All the graves are in Colma and Daly City. Knowing where we're outnumbered is good to info for the pending Zombie Apocalypse.

Hahaha. Nice

Trading in for a Cybertruck as soon as and if, we reach California!

@@ZeroFun YES!!!

@@ZeroFun You mean cyber fridge 😂

@0314doug as long as it stops common handgun rounds, doesn’t ding in parking lots, and doesn’t get paint chips on road trips, I don’t care what its calls!

Alignment didn’t fix it. 1,000 miles or so later, got the wheels balanced and sure enough, Iowa mud was hiding inside one where I couldn’t reach it. You win! :)

Yay! Glad the wobble was just mud on the inside sidewall. But sorry you had the unplanned adventure.

No he doesn’t. Jesus isn’t real. He can’t love.

It was certainly…Zero Fun. Things are getting better by the day however. Just need time to edit the next episodes. No one hurt though. Car is back on the road.

I went to the Sam Baker school of baiting the next episode!

There’s other EVs?!? Wait until you see what happens in the next episode…it’ll buff out.

There’s one up for sale in Miami next week actually. Brand new. Owner couldn’t take deliver for medical reasons after waiting 9 months+. There’s something called a SmartYacht, if that doesn’t work for you. Most of the space is down stairs in the hull. I’ve been in one, lots of head bumping and stairs that my knees don’t like. But closest thing size and price wise. Has an electric drive option.

It was a very sad reindeer for sure. :(

So, the packs weigh a lot, and there’s already water tanks and other heavy things in the hulls. The entire things has been engineered for comfort, stability and safety. There is an option to buy a third pack in, I think it’s somewhere in the aft, and maintain all the balances.

Great, thank you. Any chance building in USA?

@jpmackin unfortunately, no. South Africa, under a large catamaran builder. Mine arrives in Miami next week however. Doctor said I can’t sail along the coast to get it up to DC, so mine is up for sale, brand new. HopYacht USA in Miami is scheduling test sails on it.

Rated for coastal cruising, inland rivers and lakes. Yup. Not meant for crossing oceans. Island hopping with good weather though - hence the name.

와 한국에 있는 저는 저 배를 항해해서 가지고 올 수는 없겠네요. 충분히 태평양을 항해할 수 있을 꺼라 생각했는데

@@user-ol9zy3hp5v you can take it anywhere. It fits in two containers. Ship it anywhere in the world!

Old April fools day video. Sorry. They’ll do it some year! Lol

I mean, it’ll do 50+ miles on batteries alone now. Small generator and 20 gallons of gas would put it MUCH further for like $300 invested, while giving you the option to do weekend silent cruises for free on solar alone.

I re-read the brochure and at 6 kts there is only 2.5 hours of electricity or at 2.5 kts for about 6 hours both only about 15 miles. The generator will need to be running full time for 8-9 hours at 6 kts for about 8 gallons of fuel. That’s the same as 2 small outboard engines. I’m not including motorsailing or the gas input from the solar panels. The unusual sail rig seems suited for reaching or running not pointing-a catamaran weakness anyway. My point is motor capability in a catamaran is very important. The limited range almost makes the hop a day sailor or restricted by weather windows for favorable conditions/breezes

@TY-js9lk the trick is to slow down. It takes exponentially more energy to go even slightly faster. At 5 knots you can cruise for almost 10 hours. 6 knots is pretty much full throttle, and 2.5 hours. They did some videos of their travels, and with a little wind and just 1000 watts of power (solar was generating more than that), they were going 4-5 knots. It’s not a boat for someone in a hurry. Unless you put a 2kW Honda generator on the transom. Hah

@TY-js9lk oh, I believe they said it actually points pretty well, for a cat. But again, the idea is a casual, comfortable, easy to accomplish, sail/motorsail.

@TY-js9lk I’m not sure what brochure you’re looking at? From their web page: “Range with full charge At full throttle - 6.9 knots (12 000W) - 2.4 hours At a cruising speed of 4.2 knots (2 500W), the range will increase significantly to over 8 hours. This excludes input from solar panels during motor run times.”

That’s what I’m here for. Making weird shit!

@@ZeroFun mission accomplished! Keep 'em coming!

"PUT THE BURRITO DOWN", I crack myself up at that line.

RIP Mr. Baker.

Damn, good catch. Too late to flip it now!

Hahaha. What don’t you like?

They didn’t have heat/AC back then actually. But they added an extremely efficiency AC system for the American market. It’s DC and only pulls about 300 watts when cycling on. The water heat, yeah, it would be nice. I’m not sure they make tiny heat pump water heaters though!? It’s only 3 gallons or something barely enough for a single shower.

I actually bought after the interview video I did with Paul. He’s so passionate, I had to give him all of my money. Hah Explored the boat in Miami (HY 003, I’m 004) and Paul let me record a guided tour with him. Won’t be long now before I’m sailing it up the coast - FL to DC!

@@ZeroFun how much did it cost you after delivery and assembly?

225K, plus shipping, which I'm waiting for the cheapest window possible to open up. Hopefully around 3k? Assembly included, in Miami. For 2024, the price went up to 299K, including shipping and assembly.

@@ZeroFun did you consider the smart cat?

I did, and I actually toured one in Miami at the boat show. Reason I went with HopYacht initially - the beam. Smart cat is small, but still wouldn't fit in the monohull slips near me that are dirt cheap. When I toured it, I was really glad I didn't get one. Steep steps, tiny passageways, hulls are small and claustrophobic also. Upstairs wasn't much better, the use of space just didn't feel good, it also didn't feel very high quality. More like a cheap charter boat - which is actually exactly what that one was on its way to becoming the next week. If you want to squeeze 6 people into a boat for a weekend, SmartCat is the way to go. If you want a couple or small family to have a comfortable time, HopYacht.

But they will say that they track the batteries in the interest of safety if you are ever in distress.

It’s meant to detect cell imbalances and any possible pack problems, before they becomes serious. But you can unplug the antennas and they won’t monitor its health anymore if you want.

@@ZeroFun Yeah I know what they are meant to be used for. But I'm guessing it voids the warranty immediately if you remove those antennas right??

@@richr909 they actually want to charge for the monitoring service now I believe. So, it’s just inactive if you don’t want it. It would be nice to know if a BMS is failing or something before heading off on a coastal cruise. But I’ll risk it and just assume it’s good until I see I red light. Skipping monitoring on mine.

​@@richr909did your mother consume all the beer in the village while she was pregnant with you or at you just naturally on the spectrum?

They actually had a famous naval engineer team design it - Du Toit Yacht Design. But yeah, Paul and Mary-Clare are all in on the project!

I have 6.72kW in traditional panels on my house. They’re at all sorts of angles and scattered around my roof, I make about 22kWh when it’s sunny out in winter. The solar roof is about 12kW I’m told, and it makes nearly twice what my panels do. When the sun is up longer I make 35kWh a day or so, solar roof probably about 60kWh. They’re super happy with them.

@@ZeroFun That's a lot more than I use per day. Thanks!

Oh man, I didn't think anyone would get it! :D

Now, if my old school panels would just clear off and make me some go juice!
