Thank you watching! You usually place the Dinghy on the foredeck when making long passages. The rest of the time you are either towing it or you have it on the davits. Reason people like to place it on the foredeck, is because in a passage, if you take a rogue wave from the stern you may end-up with the dinghy on the cockpit. So for safety, a lot of folks place it on the foredeck during long passages or if you are at anchor during a storm.

@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres right OK thanks

Thank you for watching! When cruising you want to plan your food stores to carry the least amount of refrigerated items as possible. That said, for 1 or 2 people, you can carry a couple of weeks worth of refrigerated food. Something to keep in mind is that you are not doing passages over 2 weeks long or longer all the time. Most people may do a passage and then sail the area you are in for a couple of weeks before you do another passage. So you have time to replenish. If you need additional refrigeration you can add a portable unit to dedicate as a freezer. If I was doing a multi-week passage, I would also carry MREs. Complete meals without refrigeration. The MREs also provide a heat source, so if you run out of propane, you can still have a hot meal. Just some thoughts to consider in your planning. I had some of the MREs post hurricane Milton and they were not bad at all.

@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres yeah that also makes sense - thanks!

Thank you! We appreciate all the prayers. We had damage to our whole community betweek the storm surge from Helene and the Wind from Milton. So we are in recovery mode. Our sailboat Reverie, suffered some minor damage, but I have not been able to get inside to do a full assessment. Will show that here soon. Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching. I will try to see if I can do a video of one coming out of the factory. That said, it is going to take a little bit to get around to it. We are in recovery mode from Hurricane Helene and Milton who really did a lot of damage to our community. Hang in there we will be back in a couple of weeks with more videos.

Glad it helped you!

You are welcome! Thank you for watching

Thank you for watching. As a boat ages, the value will be based on condition, maintenance and equipment. This Catalina was meticulously maintained, it had a lot of great equipment, and it was in really good condition. It sold for 92% of asking price.

They are both great classics. I personally like the 400 better. Thank you for watching!

Good to know! Thank you for watching

Thank you for watching!

There some significant changes like the new keel, selden rigging, monitoring systems, etc. Here is a link to a document with the latest changes: drive.google.com/file/d/1VEx-k3RXYHhsh2KuBL9iVeB20TCvnFso/view?usp=sharing

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching. The list price on the boat was $405K. it is currently under contract undergoing survey.

Thank you for watching! Congratulations on your purchase! The C400 is a very nice boat. I have other clients I am trying to find another C400 for. If you have any questions on the boat please let me know. See you on the water!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you watching. The 349 and 410 are two different designs. The 349 is good for coastal cruising for a couple. The 410 gives you longer cruising capability

Thank you for watching

Here is a link to the listing information. Please let me know if you would be interested. drive.google.com/file/d/1KDUdoG8Ix3Cc7K8Nd3-ZVVNnB-U3MeK7/view?usp=sharing

For a couple I would say yes. You can store a couple of weeks of provisions and water for a Bahamas cruise. Between the storage area and the aft stateroom you can store your paddle boards, scuba gear, etc. You can also bring additional water and fuel in jerry jugs. The only challenge is going to be propane for the stove. It uses the small little tanks, so you will have to bring some additional tanks for cooking.

It depends on how you sleep. I have the same scenario on my Pearson 34 and with the pad, and mattress on top it is not too bad.

Thank you for watching. I am trying to do a series of videos where I talk about the boat from a practicality standpoint. If you have other things you would have like to see on this video, I would appreciate the suggestions.

@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres for me personally it's about whether I'd fit comfortably. Other than cabin, heads and saloon headroom it's size of the beds, legroom when on the toilet, legroom while sitting at the helm, cockpit legroom. It's a pain being so tall, most boats are designed for the average height, but that's increasing with each generation so I'd have thought boat designers would consider that.

Thank you for watching!

On my P34 there are large washers and nuts on the keel bolts. The last video I did on the sole of the boat there is a section where I show the bilge completely dry and you can see the keel bolts.

Thank you for watching. I will make sure I add that to the video next time. Unfortunately, the Triton 2 cannot be upgraded via WiFi. Hopefully B&G will address that in future versions.

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching!

Where would you put them?

Thank you for watching! I used 2 mm EVA Foam. You can order it from Amazon. My compartment was very smooth. If your compartment has a lot of jagged edges or other things that could cause a problem, you could use thicker EVA Foam. Maybe go to a 6 mm thickness. Best of luck with your project.

Glad to help!

Interesting information. Thank you for sharing. Will do some research on this.

I did a little research. Here is the information on the recall and the year models it affects: Jeanneau Yachts has issued a recall for their Sun Odyssey models 410, 440, and 490 produced between 2020 and 2022. The recall addresses a safety issue with the Sleipner-Sidepower retractable bow thruster modules. Owners of these models are advised to inspect the thruster area for water ingress and stop using the boat until the reinforcement of the thruster flange is completed. Jeanneau is providing this service free of charge to ensure the safety of their customers . There are no current recalls for the newer Jeanneau Yachts 55, which has received accolades and won awards for its innovative design and performance . If you have one of the affected models or need further assistance, it’s recommended to contact your dealer or Jeanneau’s customer service.

Thank you! We are very proud of him.

Thank you for watching. I will see if I can get to a 350 in the near future to do a similar video.

Everything is possible! 😀. Here are some things to consider. Having a Pet onboard will have its challenges depending on the size of your pet. If your pet has not been used to being in confined spaces for a long period of time. This is something you should consider. Adding the solar is a good option. That said, you also have to add enough battery capacity to store the energy. Do a spreadsheet of all the things you want to have on your boat and calculate the power consumption. Based on that, add another 20%, and this should give you a good idea of how much battery capacity you have to add. Also based on how many batteries, think about the weight impact on the boat and where to install them to keep things in balance. Going to an induction cooktop would definitely extend your cruising. It removes one fuel type to have to carry. Just make sure you also buy the proper cookware to use with it. You will be giving up the oven, unless you add a small convection oven that you can run through the inverter. Just food for thought. As far as watermaker is concern, I am more a fan or the portable Rainman units. They take less space, they are easy to use and maintain, and if for some reason they need service, you take them out to a service center for them to fix. Adding the extra refrigerator and an additional fuel tank, in addition to installing sufficient battery capacity is going to add a lot of weight into that storage room., which may change the balance of the boat. Something to think about. You may be able to get rid of the bench under the Nav station and find a refrigerator that would fit that space. The 349 is a nice coastal cruiser, but it is short on space. A large amount of the available storage space is located on the Port Aft Quarter of the boat, which means everything you add, all the wight will go there. I would advise you to do some research and estimate the additional weight you would be adding to the boat. Here are some examples: If you add AGM Batteries 12/105, they will weight about 66lbs each. A gallon of diesel weighs 7.1 lbs. Lastly, think of it in terms of time, Once you load the boat with the equipment, and you add your personal items, will it still be comfortable for you to go cruising? Does your cruising involves being at sea for more than 2 weeks at a time, or would you go port to port every 5 - 7 days? How will you handle waste (You have to store it until you can get to a place where you can off load it)? Hope the above gives you some food for thought to do you personal evaluation as to whether the 349 is right for you. Best of luck!

Thank you very much for that detailed lengthy reply and everything resonated with me I'm going to need a bigger boat, I think the 410.@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres

@@tonyoreilly7196 If want a new 410, we have a brand new 2024 Jeanneau 410 available for sale. We have been authorized to give a 10% discount on the list price. If you are interested in a used one, there are several 410s available for sale that I can send to you. Please let me know if you are interested.

Thank you for watching. In the early days of sailing, sailboat designers wanted to keep up with the classic look. Now a days they are using modern materials. Some use lighter colors and laminates vs actual teak. In the 80s & 90s there was a lot of veneer used.

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching. There are different boats out there for different styles of sailing and different styles of living. Great thing about being a sailor is that we can all find the right boat for each of us.

@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres Very True Jose. Though presently I am finding a problem finding a Cruising oriented Shallow Draft with no Sailboat Racing Monohull influences and dedicated to Sailing in the Mediterranean, on this side of the Atlantic. I’m not sure - yet - that I can afford to buy a new Island Packet 435, which can be built to accommodate all of my needs. My budget is restricted to Beneteau Group Cruising models which Almost have a Shallow enough Draft. I need to have the fitting out of a recent model done here in the UK, as I can get the Liferafts, Dinghy, flotation devices etc, at reasonable price here, plus work done post full independent Survey done for insurance purposes, prior to crossing over to the Caribbean. I can also have the preliminary Boat Registration done, prior to the Survey for completion in the BVI. So everything can be a legitimate Tax Free Export, as my long term Home Base is going to be in the BVI, plus Hurricane Season Visits up to my friends in Massachusetts, so commuting to and from the Caribbean. Well that’s the Plan anyway.Best Wishes. Bob. 👍🌟🌟🌟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

I think that trying to get Tax Free is going to cost you more in movement and rigging. If for example you buy a new boat in Florida you sales tax is capped at $18k USD. It will also not require a survey as you are buying a new boat and it is a shorter sail to the BVI. We have a brand new 2023 Jeanneau 490 available at a significant discount. If you would be interested in something like this, please send me an e-mail where I could send you the information.

@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres Hi Jose The Tax Free Part comes by Default with an Export to the BVI, which I need to have as a base for about 5 years anyway, but everything Depends for me on an investment in Silver Bullion I made years ago when Silver was really cheap, and which at some point, as it is actually rarer, and far more valuable than Gold, as it is need3d for literally everything in the modern world and the Gold to Silver Ratio is very likely to Reverse ? Sadly, I had my Working Life Pension Pot Tolen, along with everyone else in the West, and I am down a minimum of £25 million as a result, as Our Governments took it to invest in China, which is why China has had the staggering Economic Boom this past 30 plus years. I do .ike the 490 Sailboat very much, and if you still have it - actually I wish you every success in selling it in the meantime- and will get in touch to see what else you have available when I have the Funds - or the metal may be extremely desirable to transact for. However, much may depend on the approaching Election Result in Britain, as if Labour Win, it looks like they are planning to turn us into North Korea 2.0, so I may end up being a Refugee heading to the BVI Anyway. Fingers crossed, the voters wise up in time. Keep Up the Great Work Jose, and my Very Best Wishes to You and Yours. Bob in Wales. 🤔🌟🌟🌟👍

Worth knowing, if you ever come across one Jose, is In Decades worth of Comparison Testing, the very best Liferafts are those from Seago, and here in Britain, they are less than Half The Price of American ones, they also sell great inflatable Tenders, and a wide range of good sailing gear. So far though they do not export to the USA. It is important to me that all of my onboard Safety gear is well up to USCG standards and Specifications. tbh, I look forward to getting everything right with a Sailboat, if possible via USA, Caribbean, or this side of the Atlantic, and would love another Coastal Cruise down the Atlantic Coast of France, Spain, and Portugal to Gibraltar, which I have visited many times, then down to Cape Verde which I eould love to visit again, before crossing over to the Caribbean. But if I can Fly to Florida, and pick up a Sailboat there, no problem, as that almost happened in 2016, but then found a boat up in Massachusetts. Best Wishes. Bob. 🤔🌟🌟🌟👍❤️

It actually has large deadlights and hatches, so lots of ventilation and light.

Thank you for watching! Wishing you smooth sailing on your trip to Bermuda!

@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres Thanks Jose, Much appreciated. Keep up the very different and useful walkthrough reviews.Bob.👍✨✨✨⛵️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

I connected mine to the NMEA 2k network. Raymarine provided the pin configuration so I could make the cable to connect directly. The other way to do this is to get a converter from Seatalk to NMEA 2k.

The motor is screwed on the back side of the autopilot wheel. The post I attached to the pedestal provides an anchor that keeps everything static so the motor can spin the autopilot and at the same time your steering wheel. Hope this answers your question.

I was able to get it through General Propeller in Bradenton FL. Call and ask for Pablo Soto.

Thank you watching. If you ever have any questions, just message me.
