    Thank you for watching and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thanks for all your support during the year, it's been a big year for us with coming to US, moving into the new boat and the big refit. Lots of work and a bit of stress but now we can look back at it and say "we did it!". You guys watching, commenting and being supportive of the project has cheered us along the whole way! Next year will have a lot more of actual SAILING, exploring and hopefully some skiing too. Can't wait!

      Happy New Year to you and Sohvi, Juho. Looking forward to your adventures in 2023. The seals in the video looked like Harbor Seals. Large numbers of them are resident in the Bay area year round. The California Sea Lion, also seen in the Bay area, migrates.

      With 50 years experience, it's rather hard to see what type of shaft apparatus you're using. A good rule of thumb though is that your shaft should drip through your stuffing box at least 5 drips per 10 to 15 seconds.
      This allows you to relax knowing your shaft is not heating up and no significant water is entering your vessel.
      Your hard work shows and I for one appreciate it.
      Fair Winds,Mark

    You might consider replacing the rubber strips in the centreboard box will PTFE/ Teflon plates. They will not compress and have very low friction characteristics. They can also be machined to fit snuggly which should reduce the lateral movement. Good luck and good sailing.

    • @christophbraun5682
      @christophbraun5682 Рік тому +6

      PTFE / Teflon is not good for use close to or in the water because it takes up water an swells. In marine Applications you prefer to use POM as a low friction plastic. It takes up almost no water and has good low friction characteristics. It is used a lot for keel bearings or rudder bearings.

    I watch your channel becasue it's so unique and fascinating. I don't sail myself and I'm not even particularly interested in general, lol. It's the mix of nice people, great landscapes, adventure and great filming that makes me look forward to every episode.
