I;ve got a 43 with circa 12000 hours. I've never had buildup in the hoses, just a bit in the tube stack every year or 1000 hours.

Wondering why The Admiral was hoping to discharge the head overboard while moored in a marina…? Ought we not be considerate to our neighbors and route the black water into a holding tank while less than 3 miles off shore?

loving that najad….looking forward to seeing your very tasteful upgrades below and continued upgrades of components and such…great job so far!

Thank you for the update, always curious to see your Najad set up. Your projects are always finished top notch. I also inherited a wind generator on my N360, which promptly fell apart (Crete can also get wild winds sometimes). I got rid of it and replaced it with additional solar panels. They are getting more efficient and powerful by the month. I was lucky that the previous owner installed the bow thruster controls at the helm. Similarly to your boat, i also inherited a bunch of outdated instruments. I decided to bolt a Navpod on that same piece of teak and upgrade it with B&G. Good luck and keep us posted, always pleasure to see your videos. I just put together a little year end video on my channel, more scenics and sailing than projects but I've had plenty of those as well!

Thank you for the update

VIDEO SUCKS

Pausing from my Westsail 32 refit problems only to now realize they were not so bad! What a mess to come back to! Way to tackle this and much more, I'm sure. Can't wait to see the future updates. And I've offered this before, but if you plan to cross and need crew, then I'd be glad to join.

Always nice to see your post's. I enjoy them a lot. Thanks for sharing.

04:15 plus you cannot rotate the vv , even if you disconnected it !!

Anymore news on Albatross’s Atlantic crossing yet

Congrats to the Najad 390. They may not be as well known as Hallberg-Rassey, but as I'm from Sweden and have visited both shipyards, your Najad has a higher quality standard. Cheers.

I had the same problem. But I also flushed the system with a powerful liquid that breaks down stones. It helped a lot.

I have the exact same boat hull #55 and have just had the same problem

Thank you for this. perfect information as im about to make the same on my "new" (1977 Hartley Tahitian). I notice the wonderful non slip deck you have. it looks amazing. Have you done it yourself? Do you have any idea how to make it or where i can find information about this? (im rebuilding the whole superstructure and need new non slip). Love your videos!

Maybe use a threaded insert? I think free range sailing had a good rundown of them?

I like the magnet idea but could crest rust stain. An elongated teak wedge on each side would be my choice to keep the covers snug.

Magnets would be a good solution for your scupper covers. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the video. It's always interesting to see the different ways these boats are set up.

I've noticed in some of your other videos, your scuppers are not the same as on my W28. Can you please explain what you did. Maybe even a video on it. Thanks for the great content.

Useful. Thanks.

Definitely improved. Nice cushions too.

Excellent little getaway. The window trick is great and still lets some light in. Haha..

Binge sailing along with you Captain...ahoy.

All positives...no negatives. Nice satisfying USB install.

That boat looks good at any angle. How do you handle having no back support in the cockpit? Does it bug you? Sailing seat?

So nice and relaxing, solo sails are the best.

Keepin' her TIDY! Great job Captain.

Enjoyed that info walk thru, terrific boat. I've only seen the Westsail 32, not the 28.

Coming down in wavy seas really need grab rales, smaller kids would also find this difficult. Love the beta.

Where does one source the fiberglass ceiling panels?

You should do audiobooks reading, you will be verry rich. Perfect voice. My puls drops dangerous low when i watch/listen to your sailing videos.

Not sailing the Najad ?

Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍

I loke your installation. I own a Union Polaris 36 (no windlass) and it also has a bowsprit in the way! I have looked at many elecric windlasses and all have their mounting issues, not least the need to drill holes in the bowsprit for the cabling. I have looked at the Seatiger555 and it is a contender. I am having trouble at finding the max height of the Seatiger555 as I have a staysail boom hovering over the possible installation. Do you have the figure for the overall height? Thanks.

Beautiful Westsail! Love the table idea.

First 20 seconds of the video about putting things off 'til later, and it shows 2022 registration haha. Love these videos

I'm amazed at how large the engine compartment is on these things, rather than a tiny, congested cabinet as is common on a lot of boats.

Hi Kevin! Vic Smith here! We worked together way back when in the old Yachfitters days. I just stumbled on your channel and have subscribed. Skookum work you've done on Starwhite! I own an O'Day 35 which I sail out of Semiahmoo. I'll be watching your videos with great interest! Cheers!

I noticed your nice clean decks. Did you redo them? If so what material did you use? The decks on my boat look similar but have started cracking in places due to the extreme heat down here in Mexico. Long time subscriber and really appreciate your content.

FWIW to your viewers: Many of us 'old' boat owners have experienced the same problem with the push buttons associated with our engines. According to the 'old salts' I've talked to, the cause may be the switch, as in your situation. For others, it seems that the original wiring from the switch to the starter solenoid was made with a sub-standard gauge or quality wire. Thanks for the episode!

Do you use the afr hawspipe? I’m wondering how you deploy now and stern, as I’m trying to work a plan for my B40. Thanks!

Hey, what happened to that other boat you bought?

That is a BEAUTIFUL, take-you-anywhere vessel. Congratulations (and I'm very jealous)

As owners of an other Najad 390 we also have big steeringwheel thats annoying to get past. We considered the folding wheel but in the end doubted if it would make enough of a difference. So I'd be happy to hear your experiences in real live with the folding wheel. We also have a watertank meter that's not working. I haven't gotten arround to opening the floor yet, but will do so soon. Happy to know where to look for it 🙂Since we most probably have the same model I'd like to ask you where you ordered your replacement. I hope you enjoy the boat as much as we do. We simply love her.

Always enjoy your low key approach and great information. Your boat is a beauty. Thanks for sharing.

That is a great boat, does this mean you have a boat for sale?

Ahoy from Indianola. I used to love sailing, now I am happy to watch you tube. Love your boat

Such a wonderful boat, impressive and useful. So clean, do you sail it

With regard to the instrument gauge your going to move from the rear cabin, couldn’t you instead leave it there and buy another gauge to put at the nav station that will plug in to the existing loom, then you can check what’s going on when underway while resting

I´m watching your channel since its beginning. Even though I´m a bit dissapointed that you didn´t upgrade to a Westsail 32, I´m very very grateful to find your peaceful content during the hours ahead of the Trump/Biden debate:) Anyways... your quality content is always nice to watch and especially your soothing voice is great. The Najad choice of yours is very understandable for me though, becaus she really is roomy and slick loocking at the same time, combined with a very high built quality. BR from Germany, Tobias PS: What was your job before you retired? Everything you do is so thoroughly thought through and made in such a quality manner, I wonder why that is:)
