Every Sunday we release a new video of us sailing around the world but here is another video of the top 10 small items for your boat (apart from the obvious bigticket items and safety gear!
If you have any questions, ideas or advice for another video, please let us know in the comment section below and we will make another video! We had a lot of fun making this!
1:24 Macbook 12v Charger
The perfect charger to charge any of your larger electronics though USB-C through 12v without having to turn on your inverter saving lots of power on your boat house batteries. We bought this to charge our 15" MacBook Pro Touch Bar and works flawlessly!
amzn.to/364aGUs = 87w version
2:11 The Best Water Shoes
We have gone through a couple different shoes and these are by far the best we have come across due to their versatility. They are so comfy to wear kicking about the boat and best for swimming to shore, running on the beach, hiking with Jackson and look just like a normal shoe we can even wear into town! Not on Amazon, but they gave us a 15% off code to pass forward to you guys!!! :)
bit.ly/2XfhYBH = Aleader Shoes

3:40 LED Globes
The first thing we did back in Malta was replace all the interior globes to LEDs saving 3w per globe. I have just now recently swapped over our navigation lights and anchor light to 4w globe from 10w. We also have a dimmer LED strip light for the cockpit for sundowners out in the cockpit creating that perfect ambient lighting. For back up, we have a solar powered LED light.
amzn.to/2R7bnbm = G4 Interior LED Bulbs
amzn.to/2G8NYzH = BAY15D Navigation LED Bulbs
amzn.to/378FqVF = Cockpit LED strip lighting (Non-Dimmable)
amzn.to/2tyUxsG = Cockpit LED strip lighting (USB - Dimmable)
5:57 Mr Funnel
Twin filtered funnel, say no more!
amzn.to/367l11C = 12 Gallons / minute
amzn.to/2G3FBFM = 5 Gallons / minute
7:37 GoPros
We have the old GoPro 3+ for the more basic dangerous stuff where we may break or lose it, but for everyday filming we use the GoPro Hero 7 Black. As explained this is probably the best camera we have. GoPro have just introduced the Hero 8!!!
amzn.to/2tvmyS4 = GoPro Hero 7 Black
amzn.to/30AI1W0 = GoPro Hero 8 Black
9:26 The Perfect Bags
From duffle bag suitcases with wheels and a handle to camera bag, waterproof bags and Pet bag, we have it all covered with the best backpacks for living on a sailboat. We walk a lot carrying various items for miles, so bags are something we know a thing or two about!
amzn.to/377wHmB = Small bag on wheels
amzn.to/2R7tpKD = Large bag on wheels
amzn.to/2G226eb = GoPro Seeker Backpack
amzn.to/36aIKhr = GoPro Cheaper Alternative Backpack (DeKasi Backpack)
amzn.to/2NFz8VD = Backpack rain cover
amzn.to/2G22SI7 = Waterproof Dry Bag
amzn.to/37a2BPs = Pet Backpack
13:32 Toaster
This toaster will cook the perfect piece of toast in 30 seconds! This little invention is Unbelievable.
amzn.to/2FZt3PP = Camping Toaster
14:18 Powerbanks
Everyone will have one, but you should have a dozen. We charge all our powerbanks up during the day while our battery bank is at full charge from the sun, then at night recharge all our camera gear, phones and iPad again ready for the following day!
amzn.to/2RHQKBJ = 10,000mAh powerbank
15:23 iPad with RAM Mounts
We have paper charts, 2 navigation units onboard but we use our iPad as our primary source of navigation with Navionics. We have it permanently mounted at the helm with RAM mounts. I did lots of research before moving onto the boat and this RAM mount is probably the most important item we have bought.

amzn.to/3aqsa0m
amzn.to/2R6vq9J
amzn.to/38cDLPh = Ipad Case 9.7" (5th & 6th Gen - 2017/2018)

***We searched through Amazon to use affiliate links! Cheapest prices which costs you nothing, but we could get a kickback from Amazon 🤙 I have included direct website links for you if any of these items we didn't find on Amazon!
SUPER COOL stuff you show here...and Brit, that kiss to the camera was unexpected and sooooooooooooooooooo funny🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
glad to hear you enjoyed the video! and happy to hear it gave you a laugh haha!
Definitely getting the shoes!!!! All great items to have aboard!!!
I've watched all your videos now. Awesome job! I can't wait till a new one comes out. Stay safe.
Mr45Bullitt that’s so cool!! Thanks for catching up! 😀
Great little items that yes will be a little easier on a boat. Thanks for the heads up and links!
KR thanks, glad you liked it!
Great video guys easy to watch, love the water shoes, we have similar, great foot protection & look cool too.
Sailing Salacia Star Thanks guys! Yes these are great! I have some that look like crocs (Brittni won’t let me wear them in public) 😂 then I got some neoprene shoes that are like anchors. Now these ones which are the best so far!
Thanks. Lovely couple, great info.
another beautiful video! Well done. Cheers and fair winds!
SV Avocet Thanks guys! 😀
Tip. If you line the underside of your bed with cardboard, it will seriously help warm up your bed.
thanks for the advice! luckily our friends @sailingsalaciastar let us borrow one of their electric heaters while we are plugged into shore power....and its made life much better hahaha!
Thank you for all these very good ideas.
I'm adding them to my very long and getting longer list of things to bring onboard.
The editing of your videos is downright great. I love the rapid-fire, no nonsense, to the point delivery.
If I have extra interest in something, I replay the segment.
Also, I love your boat's layout.
Sweet, thanks. I’m going to get 8 out of 10 of those now 👍
The best Waterproof Case is the UGO!
Thanks for another great video, o by the way you both make a great couple ! Keep up the videos !
Todd Abrahamsson aww thank you! 😊😊
Nice one guys cheers 😎 💪🏽 👍🏽
FoolsGold thanks!!!
Another awesome movie!!
Thank you :)
Thanks for sharing
No worries! It was fun to make this video 😀 I’m going to think of some more ideas and make some more in the future.
You even make showing your top 10 things entertaining!
haha thanks!!!! You're too kind!!!
Sweet - thanks guys
Cheers!
Love this one🤟
haha, oh yes I forgot about this video, I have so many new items to add, we should make another one soon!
Several companies make portable battery packs that have a solar charging option built in. They work really well. I keep mine by a window so they are always charged and ready to go.
MandM Milling that’s a great idea! I haven’t used them yet! I’m going to have to get a few more items and do another top 10 next year 😀
Nice! Will get those shoes for me and Bi. Also, quite impressed by your reversing skills. Artemis has this epic prop wander, pulls to port heavily. To yellow to put speed in for the rudder to take effect...how did you learn this?
Mikael Reichel thanks 😊, we have bad prop wash also but I just point the nose 45 degrees to where I want to end up by the time I can steer. That initial turn between the pontoons was all rudder, no steerage. I have some guys called “Pro Sailing” in Malta to thank for teaching me that! Lol 😁
Good tips kids! Hey Britt! Do you remember the thing you & your Dad both do? Well...... 😂
Nancy Drew omg I know 😫 I chewed my cheeks the entire time! Hahahah 😫😫
more catching up...
Lmao great job 🤙✌️
Patrick Daly thanks! 😊
Use a Garmin GLO with up to 4 bluetooth devices for GPS, means you can use the non GPS iPad or other device. Also means you can use the tablet(s) below deck.
Great video! I am looking for iPad Pro 12.9 mount to be used for navionics. Do you recommend the B or C mount for this size iPad?
I got the C and it’s super strong but massive.. I think the B mount will be much better!
Astral makes the best boat shoes, unparalleled. Will last years
Yes they are good too, out of our budget though, we can only recommend what we have, we've tried a couple different water shoes but these ones are our best so far, very light, comfy, grippy and flexible running around the boat, drains the water instantly and good price 🤙
And item 2 has white soles (no deck marking). Will get some.
They definitely come in handy !
For charging things I bought a USB adapter for my Ryobi power tool batteries and am using that more often. More grunt for the weight. Also this is some valuable knowledge on batteries (take note of where your battery devices are made) ua-cam.com/video/qMZuHMlRw_0/v-deo.html .
Cool thank you for the advice! ☺️
Toujour courages Amigo capétien Jackson en Madame être jantes 😍😘😘💫⛵🌹🌼🎊💐🙏
Thanks, going to try that one and aim for something cheap. You then gave enough power in a burst to have rudder action?
Mikael Reichel yep! I pull up out of gear slowly drifting to a stop turning 45degrees and while almost stopped (depending on wind etc) at about .5 of a knot, thrust it in reverse to stop completely and start moving backwards to 1.5 - 1.9 knots. By the time I hit 1.9 knots I’m heading straight down the middle of the pontoons with full steerage 😀
I see people go in forwards and just pivot reversing right out front of their slip, but I guess you really have to know your boat and be really good at it, but I would rather be completely stress free having full control before entering being surrounded by millions of dollars worth of boats!!! 😂😂😂
Do you connect your IPad up to your sensors - wind, depth etc? If so how? Wondering if I can replace my old navigation system with one centered around an IPad or Android Tablet.
We don’t actually, it would be nice. We use it for our main navigation as it’s new and updated easily and regularly. The iPad does give us an exact speed every second from the gps in the iPad which is great but our main chart plotter is also always turned on showing a speed and wind also and we keep that one zoomed out so we are always looking at 2 charts.
Hey guys! Following up on a comment or two from a while back. I had a question about the iPad case. Look forward to the link when you can provide it. Very Thanks!
Hey Walt,
My apologies, we are on land in the boatyard at the moment doing repairs with limited internet... Its taken me this last hours just to post this lol!!! I bought it on amazon, the lifeproof cases were so expensive and this was only about $30-$40. It all clips together really well, there is this small rubber seal which is obviously needed to be 100% waterproof but it made it hard to unclip and clip all the time, so I took it out and its still very waterproof/resistant (I assume just not submergible for a long period of time). but definitely worth the money! I would rather buy 6 of these than 1 expensive case!
amzn.to/38cDLPh = Ipad Case 9.7" (5th & 6th Gen - 2017/2018)
hi typical as the only one i was keen on was the case on your pad, did you have a link
geetee50 Oh no! I will find it on Amazon. We a currently a bit remote with limited internet so will do this when I can, but this is a good score because it was so much cheaper than others I found and we used it all season and still holding up to the salt and sun!
@@SailingSunday Hey Guys! New subscriber here. Looking forward to more videos as useful as this one, wow! I'm setting up my newly acquired boat for New England sailing this summer and have the same question regarding the iPad case. Look forward to the link when you can provide it. Very Useful indeed! I have an iPad generation 8 on the way and have been on the phone with Ram Mounts more than once talking about their various mounts vs. cases and so forth. Decided maybe the best approach is to get a case in hand then get the correct Ram Mount. Thanks!
Good Morning, at least it is for me. 😊🙋♂️☕
I'm curious about the laptop charger. How long long have you had it on the boat?
Mike Barron Hi Mike, that’s my newest item, we had it for about 1 month now. Because we are editing videos all the time it’s probably used 2-3 times a day. The laptop pulls about 6-8amps the inverter uses 2-3amp. So for about 2-3 hours per day we save on running the inverter so it really helps because some days we have even forgot to turn the inverter off which just adds to draining the batteries. No need to worry anymore with this little gadget though. I would have got the 60w version but was sold out when I went to order, so bought this one 87w one instead.
@@SailingSunday Thanks for the response. I'm interested in a charger like the one you have for use in my boat and was checking to see how well it was standing up to the task. My yacht these days is a 15 foot aluminum canoe that I use for up to 2 week trips on rivers. 😎 So not up to your level but then you haven't swamped your boat in white water, yet. 😉 😁
FYI, asking a teenage granddaughter to leave her phone and tablet at home is worse than telling them to SSSSSH!!! 😲😳😂
🙋♂️
Mike Barron haha, yes I can imagine, electronics run our lives now especially teenagers!!! 😂 Oh jeez, no hopefully we won’t do that anytime soon! It works really well, the 12v plug will eventually rust out (they always do) there’s no way around that living at sea. I’ll just have to cut it off and attach a new 12v plug at some point. The box itself is pretty sealed up and appears to be glued together quite sturdy so no complaints there. It has a USB plug too so we usually charge the MacBook and GoPro or phone at the same time and still works well.
Hi from Van BC, Love your personal and friendly videos. I was introduced to your channel by my friend all the way back from grade 5 - Helene. I have watched most vids by now, but did not see the one when Fin joined the clan? A couple of questions; yes I did subscribed, but in order for you to get paid from UA-cam do we have to watch the ad's till they finish or can we skip? How does one donate? Keep on Sailing.... love you guys and Jackson & Fin.... nice to have kids. Cheers PS I will share your channel on my Facebook page to get more subscribers and ask them to also share. You should mention this on vids.
RonRealtor 888 thanks Ron!!! Such a kind message! Finn joined us last week! We are still new and learning how this all works with ads, Ryan keeps telling everyone to watch them over and over again but he’s just joking around 😂🤣, we don’t think it really matters unless you have hundreds of thousands of followers! Thanks for your support! We are just happy you have watched our videos, but if you really love what we do you can support us by joining Patreon or donate to Jackson’s treats to help street animals along our journey. Patreon funds go towards equipment and animals at the moment and Jackson’s treats goes to animals only. All links are on our website www.svsunday.com 😊
Thanks for sharing, that’s amazing!!! You’re right, we should ask but we’re just having fun trying not to be to pushy! 😊
🖒🖒🙌🙌
Hello Everyone, we still sell the 12v 87w USB-C adapters directly from our website (google Mikegyver), we will also be sending more out to Amazon soon. Please consider following us on social platforms because we're planning on some deep discounts for our USB-C adapters this holiday season. ;-) ;-)
Absolutely love you all and your journeys! My husband and I are presently flipping our home of 26 years this April built in 1995! Now time to Liveaboard our new Chapters as we celebrate 36 years of marriage and moving forward in the future with Liveaboard adventures and hard work to grow young!! Lol 😆 Thank you so much for sharing your dreams come true!! Your ideas and insights are so wonderfully helping us!
Coleman makes a camp toaster for their stoves that will make four pieces at a time they're made for there stoves they will work on any stove with a gas burner you can get them at Amazon for between 7 and 12 dollars American
Bryon Ensminger I think I saw those ones, they are stacked like a pyramid??? I didn’t link them though because I’ve not used it. If they works just as good, I would probably rather that 😂 I usually have 4 pieces of Vegemite on toast every morning 😁
@@SailingSunday been using one for years in my camp gear they work just fine
Bryon Ensminger ok, I’m going to add it to the description this week, putting all my trust in you!!! 😂
Thanks mate
Are you able to say what money transfer service you used to transfer money overseas for the boat ? It’s daunting and I’m worried about this .the banks always want a fortune and to screw you in the interest rate as well. Any advice is appreciated .
John Perry I think we actually used OFX. I will go through and have look tonight and double check!
Yes we used OFX. www.ofx.com
It was intimidating, but they weren’t a scam! I spoke to them on the phone a couple of times also. I’m pretty sure when you sign up they call, then called again when I made my transfer. I think the Australian office was in Melbourne and I spoke to someone in that office too, not international. So highly recommend!
Sailing Sunday thanks so much
more jackson please
Hakan Ünal it was hard for him in this video! He could bark and howl but no one would understand him! 😊😂
Hello, I just enjoyed this video of yours and I'm subscribing. Question: do you still have the backpack/wheels style bags? The bags you posted on Amazon seemingly are not the same as the ones you've shown. They are not backpack capable. Can you please give me the name of the brand? Really appreciate it and I"ll be watching more of your channel. _/)
We have replaced them a few times over now, the backpack with wheels on them are great, but they get well used!!! lol We now have electric bikes with saddle bags and they are amazing!
The filter is $1.40.00 to buy in Aust. plus where can you buy Aleader shoes other than online, which is not a good way to purchase shoes. Good show all the same.
Peter Staples $140! Damn, is it the Shipping thats a rip? I think it cost me about $110aud shipped to Greece by memory. But they were about $150 in the yacht shops over here and thats was the smaller one!!!! I did all the prices in USD as we order everything online in USD. I’m not sure about the shoes, we literally but all our stuff online. I’m a us10 so fit a 9 because I wear them without socks and they fit fine. I’m sure if you contact their website they will be able to tell you where to buy them in Aus 😀😀😀
@@SailingSunday I will be buying the filter. The Aleader site would except my membership only twice though. Cheers, thanks for the reply.
Australians, yeh, all the best mates
thanks!!
I´ll get there. Trick is to get in early so all those sitting on their decks with Gin&Tonics looking at the show wont be there. No pressure.
Have seen some very sloppy, irresponsible attempts, damaging others and not seem to care.
Gréât top 10 !
Many thanks !
I had already thought about the sea shoes, gopros, iPad protection ( but have not search for a mount yet...as well as I need poles, for the GoPro’s as well as my IPhone ) I have a power bank, but you are right... a few more would help !
Light dîmer ! Very good idea...
Solar lamps, checked !
Bags, checked !
No backpack for my cat !!!!!!
Need a solution to transport my dog too by the way.....
But your best « must have » I hadn’t thought about ( ( didn’t even knew they existed !) is the camping toaster. !!!!!
I don’t really know why I got a notification for your video, but I am for sure going to follow you from now on !
maxine noury thank you that’s awesome! I’m so glad we gave you a couple ideas! Yes the toaster is awesome. A fellow subscriber said he has the 4 slice version which apparently works really well too. What breed is your dog?
The RAM mounts are definitely a must have, but the smaller (size B) would have been better, we went a bit extreme because we had no guidance.
Number 1, not a dog
Das sind Frührentner mit ner Amazon-Aussenstelle....; !
You can take the boy out of Aus , but you can't take Aus out of the boy ?. Did the cat shit in the sink or something...lol...
haha yup you should see the stockpile of Vegemite he's got on board!
Didn't anyone ever tell you putting shoes on the table brings bad luck...
Martin Jarvis only if you put new shoes on the table!!!! (Isn’t it???) 😬
Cat shit in the sink, waaahahahahahahahahahaha
Thing you really need is a gag, for the American.
Theres no American on here lol
Fluff looking for patronage, nothing really there that one does not already have, maybe even of better quality.
.....Must be nice to have everything 👏🏼👍🏼 sign up to our Patreon so we can be like you 😊
This list is stupid.
tough crowd lol
So you won’t drink the water but you give it to your dog?! You should be ashamed
Don't you wish all marinas were NO PETS ALLOWED. When we abandoned the suburbs for liveaboard life, we don't want dog walking anywhere near us.
Shark Mentality you’ve come to the wrong sailing channel lol 😂
@@SailingSunday ? i wonder wth? Not sure about the thought behind that question ether. But there is always one in ever crowd. Great vidoe.
Pops Old Boats Thank you!😊 Yes I didn’t understand either, lol. Maybe because I was walking Jackson off lead in the video, I don’t think they realise I was at the back corner of an empty marina in the middle of winter at 7am 🤷 😂
