Windlass Fails At Anchor! Can we lift our Anchor? Its a race against time! The Lewmar PRO-SERIES
Windlass Fail At Anchor. Can we lift our Anchor before it gets dark? Who wants to be in a situation where in an emergency at night you can't lift your anchor?
The Lewmar PRO-SERIES 1000 8MM 700 watt electric windlass. Has been playing up. While at anchor it gives up and will only work intermittently. We repair it and get our anchor and chain back on board. But its a race against time!

Welcome to our channel.
We are now in season 7
In 2018 we left the UK to sail around the world slowly. After Brexit, a "Pandemic" and major heart surgery we are still sailing, documenting our travels and showing you what we have learned so far.
We are hoping to complete our journey, and travel right around the world even if we have had a few setbacks along the way. We will continue at our own pace and that may be fast or slow. We want to be sure not to miss anything and have stories to tell our grandchildren when we are old and grey.
Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid.
We do have a second channel YOUR DRONE TV It is a mix of music from classical to blues, from Opera to Punk all with stunning drone footage.

Bearings and heater plugs are the most common failure points but only after hundreds if not thousands of hours.

    Great review and instructions! Question, is the oil/water separator enough to filter hypothetical debris from the compressor, I.e. do you feel it's safe enough to breathe the air even when there's no finer filtration? Thank you!

    • @SVImpavidus
      @SVImpavidus 3 дні тому

      The compressor has an oil less piston and chamber. Basically your only breathing the same air you would be when not underwater. The water separator is to stop moisture going down the hose an the same with the filter just to stop anything getting into the hose. Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid

Would be great of you could point me the right way, many thanks in advance!

    • @SVImpavidus

      No we dont have a parts list. The hose is available on amazon although breathing hose is not cheap. This type of compressor has a metal piston and bore which is one of the reasons we chose it. But even so if you check the other hooker videos we recommend a 5-10 µm filter with a moisture trap. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid

    I've heard it's the most expensive canal in the world per mile.

    Good to see they have been doing some decent engineering works on the canal in the last few years. It had been neglected for far too long.😀👍⛵️

    Hi Guys. Odd thing about the Corinth Canal, it really drummed it into me, to Never have a too Tall a Mast so Bridge and Power Lines Clearance can Never become a problem, yet for the Corinth Canal itself, No Problem ? I think it was the excellent Clearance itself was what Struck me, as for Some Bridges, and maybe Power and Telephone Lines Crossing Rivers, there wasn't really a decent Clearance height. Actually a Shorter Mast doesn't really affect performance of a Sailboat that much relatively, other than for Racing, but helping to lower the CoG is more than a bit handyHence Next zsailboat with in Mast Furling, I'm ok with a 40 foot to 45 foot Air Draft tbh. Thanks for the Corinth Nostalgia Trip. Best Wishes for Fair Winds and Safe Travels. Bob. 🤔🌟🌟👍❤️

      Hi Bob. The lowest bridge is something like 87 metres so we just make it with our air draft of 18m in a couple of videos time we do a bridge and it looks really low. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid

      @@SVImpavidus Hi Guys. Looking forward to the coming videos 👍 presently struggling with the Air Draft to have for the Selden Mast with in Mast Furling for my next Sailboat. Either 40 or 45 feet. The lower of the two would help lower the pressure of the leverage, and reduce the inclination to heel, while not having much effect on Boat speed, with the right Main Sail. Should be a great help for getting under power and phone lines crossing over estuaries and rivers though, plus having a high gain aerial on top shouldn’t be a problem. Could end up with a fun design for a Main Sail too. Fair Winds and Safe Travels. Bob. 👍🌟🌟🌟⛵️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧❤️

      @@SVImpavidus Just heard back from the Agent Broker, and I think it has sunk I. Just how important for much of the World a really shallow Draft is, so they are having a go at seeing what can be done with the Mabufacturer , and I have added that they need a major rethink on the layout down below,ow, with a two cabin option which would allow two Settee opposing Sea Berths for secure use on passage, plus could expand galley options, because frankly, they either need to give the interior designers a dressing down, or just Fire them as they clearly don’t have I kudos what they are doing, and I could care less that they are Posh named designers tbh.

    Some water for Thought. Just recently a smart person set a pump 10 feet over an ocean and pump that air down a line to shore where the fresh water was collected. When in your boat you are in the worlds largest bucket of water. The sun the largest fire ever. The sun beats down on the ocean causing evaporation leaving the salt behind. Here is another method ua-cam.com/video/OZvJReP0_VQ/v-deo.htmlsi=fHAkMnTRiOv3Pej8

    About the jubilee clips. A stainless clip with a steel screw will have a W4 marking on it. A fully 316 stainless one has a W5 mark, that’s how you keep them apart.
