Episode 8 - An Achievable Dream - Guests and Crew
In continuation of our series of An Achievable Dream, Episode 8 details some of the considerations when it comes to guests and crew on a long range expedition vessel.
This series is devoted to a small subset of the boating market, known as expedition boats, which are heavy displacement purpose built yachts able to cruise long distances to remote locations of the world with endurance and capable of handlling rough weather. These boats can cross oceans, perform much of their own maintenance and possess the attributes of range, endurance, sea-kindliness, reliability and can operate across a wide geographic spectrum.

      There are good shipyards to be found, but like companies in every industry, you can probably count the really good one's on one or two hands. As I say in Ep 5, shipyards (ie. their empolyees, management and cash flow) are not a static situation and a lot depends on the economy, who is in control, their recent builds, how well the owner has thought through the project, etc.

      Thank you. I have no idea what it would cost today because I'm not current on the price of material or labor. That said, OASIS took 107,000 labor hours to build and back in 1992 and, as yards go, Delta was relatively efficient.

    Such great information as we take our 45’ trawler south this summer from Seattle to LA area. Question. In the weather section, as I start several months out getting a feel for the west coast weather patterns. I notice I get good 48 hour weather window for my needs, but near a prospective departure the NOAA forecast will include SCA when all my other forecasts tell a different story. As I follow the weather window the NOAA forcast never materialize. So my question…on departure do I stick with my forcast window and disregard NOAA or heed the official forcast and delay. Thank you again.These weather seminars take a complicated topic and break it down into manageable and reasonable concepts

    • @AnAchievableDream
      @AnAchievableDream 4 місяці тому

      There is no way that any of the global weather sites can have the refined nuanced accuracy and anything close to the local knowledge that is covered in local forecasts like NOAA issues. They are good for general planning purposes, trends and off-shore conditions (which are more often than not turn out to be similar to NOAA's local forecast). I certainly wouldn't disregard NOAA, but in those situations you can always use buoy and ship reports the morning of your departure as a sort of sanity check before heading out of the harbor (or offshore). I have also had the reverse situation, where NOAA has issued a near coastal weather updates in my exact position, showing the winds at less than 12 kts when it was blowing a gale. They've gotten much better, but not quite perfect. Also, when in doubt NOAA will typically err on the side of caution (which seems appropriate). Hope this helps.

      @@AnAchievableDream Thank you for the thoughtful response. I have been watching all your videos for this passage since it is the first for us on our trawler. We have made this trip before but followed a more blue water passage since we were on our Hans Christian 43 where wind and sea state are a much different consideration. We have circumnavigated Vancouver Island on the trawler so we have a taste of off shore conditions on the trawler but this will be the first extended open passage. Actually we are headed to the Santa Barbara harbor where we have a slip and I just now remembered your origins to that area aboard the beautiful family sailboat where you started. Still is the most beautiful harbor on the west coast if not the northern hemisphere. If you are ever transiting through SB I would love to host you and you crew for a drink at SBYC. Thank you again for these in-depth examinations of cruising aboard a power vessel. Truly an impressive presentation.

    This is so amazingly complex. I’m in shock! You are simply brilliant! The yacht I traveled on was owner/operator. However when the boat was moved to Mexico yearly, a captain and crew were hired to bring it south. The owner was a smart man too! Once safely in Mexico, only a boat hand was onboard for security, generally cleaning. The friends and women did the cooking of food and basic meal prep ourselves . A perfect size yacht. If we went up or down the coast for overnight, we went out to dinners by taking the tender. But breakfast and lunch, the ladies on board did that. It looks as if your 50ft was very manageable. The one we were on was 72 (?) if I recall. Four small staterooms. Thanks for the memories of my parents, and now gone friends 🙏🏼

    These are amazing films! I’m so sorry I have to turn the music off. Have no clue why is does not work at all for me, at all. However your film work is sensational❤️ I have watched Venture of Flemming Yachts at least 10 times each. So incredibly relaxing! But once was lucky enough to sail on a friends of my parents yacht from Vancouver to Ketchikan. Being I was still working I had to fly back to the East Coast as the others went forth. Sure we would pick it up again the following yr. I was able to leave. But, due to tragic health news, it was to be their last be trip to Alaska. But I’m an older lady now, and I still remember the excitement of being on a yacht!!! My parents had traveled often with their friends, and I had been on the boat many times in Mexico. But, Actually sleeping, waking up, cooking and being part of it is something I will never forget in my dotage. Thank you so much for opening this up to most who will never in a million years have this experience! Unless you have done it, to explain the sheer thrill of this experience is beyond measure !

    Cliff, I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to produce these videos. This one came at a perfect time as I’m mid build on my Maretron system, sounds like my question will be answered in the next video but not sure I want to wait, ha ha. What sensors are you using with the TPM100 for fluids? I understand ports 1 and 2 are for thermocouples and ports 3,4,5 and 6 use J type thermistor. I found omega TC-J-1 /8npt-G-72-SMP I’m using for my main engine and generator coolant temp but they are thermocouples, thus only two per TMP100… are your using thermistors for engine and transmission oil temps? Could you please share part numbers, thanks.

    • @AnAchievableDream
      @AnAchievableDream 10 місяців тому

      Morning Joel. Thank you for your kind words. I think that I put most of my audience to sleep...not one of my more popular episodes. Unfortunately, I'm not on the boat right now, so I can't answer your question; however, my recollection is that wherever possible, we tried to use (standardize) with Nason sensors (if that is of any help?). One tip I might share is that we found using ferrules were a great way to make-up all our NMEA connectors. Good luck with the project....it's totally a worthwhile investment of time and resources!!

    • @joelwilson1729
      @joelwilson1729 9 місяців тому

      Thanks, looks like Nason has what I need. One more question, what's your opinion on monitoring engine oil temp? My assumption is because of the oil cooler if coolant temp goes up so will oil temp, is there any situation where oil temp will go up and coolant won't?

    • @AnAchievableDream
      @AnAchievableDream 9 місяців тому

      Generally speaking, I think you are correct; however, I suspect that there could be a situation where the oil cooling system could start to fail or degrade independent of the engines coolant system either from excessive friction, a cooler issue, loss in a oil volume or circulation. My suspicion is that monitoring engine oil has come out of both aeronautics and the race car industry where high performance and relatively light duty engines are being pushed to their limit such that the oil temperature/viscosity would need to be closely monitored to avoid premature engine failure. (Just a guess...).

      These shots were filmed 5 years ago, when drone flying was relatively new (at least it was for us). That was the one and only summer that we attempted to take pictures from a drone, so I am not sure what the rules are in that remote part of Alaska? That said, from my perspective and after our experience, I would be supportive of there being restrictions. Thanks for watching the video and I hope you found it useful.
