Thank you for the video mention and for picking us as one of the top 10 innovations this year. It means a lot tu us. The rest of the videos are awsome too and we are happy to say we are your new subscribers :)
Thanks guys! Great to have you as a new subscriber! And thanks for having us on your stand! Hope it was a successful show for you! And lets keep in touch. 👊🏼
Basalt fiber is still glass fiber, just using a different composition glass. Basalt glass fiber will be heavier then standard fiberglass for no significant strength benefit based on data I found on the net. Also, basalt is variable in composition from place to place and even within a single location, so basalt glass fibers from different sources will be variable. Just a thought from a retired Ph.D. experimental geochemist who has melted a lot of rocks.
When you create a composite from it it takes on very different characteristics that are very useful in building boats. Yes it a natural material but it’s a lot greener to make than glass fibre and needs less energy water and no other materials to produce . It’s very very common . I’m also a Geologist… take a look at the basalt Gurus site and also Composite 🌎 trade site .
@vanessabryan786 that’s super interesting! I recently had a good chat with a geochemist a while back who was stating there was little point in Basaltex, personally that didn’t make much sense as we are working to the specs right in front of us. It’s all a bit bonkers. Despite all of this… We are actually working with Basaltex on a marine project. My personal beliefs are that we need to support the people who are thinking about change - even if it is Cold War technology it’s relatively new to boats and anything better is better. The material is slightly stronger than glass fibre which is also good as we want to hold our mainsheet on with it!
@@SailHub In a number of key ways it’s superior to glasses and as they say the sum of its properties are greater in this context than if considered individually. It’s all round toughness and resilience make it very useful ..it’s a lot greener to produce and recycle … it’s very available mixed with other green fibres and possibly a touch of carbon fibre here and there it can even beat Carbon fibre.
Hey Andrew, sorry we missed your comment. Yeah the Rocna mkII seems a great upgrade! We hope to do some work with Vision Anchor soon so perhaps there may be more info about that soon. We’ve just launched a video from Boot Düsseldorf boatshow about electric motors you may enjoy and a few weeks time we’ll have a new products version from the same show 👍🏼
To see what your anchor is doing deep down on the phone is a very smart invention. I don't like to dive in cold waters to see where it holds or doesn't. Class.
@@SailHub i am in northern ireland, big tides and strong winds there. So i like that kind of progress. When on the boat i only need energy to start engine or for fridge. Nothing more. I still see sailing as camping at sea but am all in for things making it safe. If i wanted comfort i'd stay on shore😂😂😂😂
@@johan8724 Yeah, anchor is one of the greatest things to keep you safe and relaxed. You just have to trust it to keep you still when sleeping or away from the boat.
The TEMO electric outboard looks well thought through, with one exception => the electric motor can be turned on (or left running) when the tiller is stowed which seems to be a big problem in turns of risk to personal injury i.e. when the unit is being manhandled. Not everyone is going to remove the battery when moving the outboard.
Hey Ian, when the tiller is stowed you can’t turn the throttle, it’s an oval shape that locates into a shape beside the battery. So we’re safe, no props turning when stowed - there’s also the magnetic kill cord which would would be a back up if the rubber grip were to be removed
@@SailHub That's not what I see in the video. If you look at around 13:55 the person demonstrating the unit clearly rotates the tiller when it is in the vertical/stowed position, and a whining noise (which I assume is the electric motor) stops. We couldn't see the prop, but I'd place a decent wager that the prop was turning.
@Ian-gf8id now that’s a keen eye! This was filmed over months 8 ago and the Temo 1000 is still in its prototype stage - I’m pretty sure they have sorted that after seeing later models - it’s going into production very soon and we’re hoping to get a test done as soon as we can - let’s see what they have done about it! 👍
Windelo catamarans already uses basalt and recycled plastic to make their yachts. I don't knkw if you kniw that, but it's one of their selling points. However, they build bkats ats a g,acial pace
@@TheMrGixxer ahhhh, it’s an interesting question, I’m not sure! We have a specific i Teresa in sustainable sailing and we’re not sure if hydrogen is even something worth thinking about for long distance cruising. It seems like it at first until you realise how much of the gas we may actually need! Still… We don’t have any concrete evidence yet and our current thoughts are that it could be a great way to get out of trouble if you have flat batteries but probably not the best set up to run from full time.
Hey so I looked into this for my boat. They have three different size generators a 200w, 400w, and 1000w. Assuming it’s the 400w (just divide everything by 2 for the 200w and multiply by 5 for the 1kW) and their 9 lite tank, then it’ll run for 9.6 hours. Close to 4kW. So, really, they all get 4kW out of that 9 liter bottle, just at different rates.
Hi, thanks for the feedback, much appreciate it - we need more people like you to help us move in the right direction! For sure, we can add some prices. We will put them in the Düsseldorf boat show run down for you that’s coming up soon. The reason we did not is that prices are only relevant for that season. As for the second look, it’s hard to say as everyone’s boat and situation is different - we’re want to show some options that could be suitable. Once again, cheers for the feedback! 👍

Great meeting up with you guys at @bootDüsseldorf 2023!
Hi! Yeah, great to meet you guys too, what a show! Looking forward to seeing your content from it😘👍
Came over from Sailing Insieme and I already love your content. Interesting stuff 👍 Thanks!
Fantastic! Pleased to hear it and thanks for letting us know! Great to be able to share this info!! 👊🏼

Take a look at the Windelo catamarans and the ballistic test on a fishing boat 🛥️ transom.

Very good video. Thank you so much for those helpful infos.
We’re super pleased you found it useful!!
Btw also I came over through sailing insieme ... happy for the recommandation
Nice having you around! Glad you found us! 💫
Exciting stuff!! ❤
Absolutely! Stoked to share them!
Great video👍 Being on the other side of the world it’s hard to see these new innovations. Like that Fender and Rocna anchor.

Sure I’d a sweet idea! I had to dive under the boat in Scotland once - never again!

@@johan8724 for sure! Safe is good, especially where you sail! We were there for Bangor week one year, epic sailing!👌

Yes 🙌🏼 the French Windelo is doing it right. Thanks for sharing. Also check out what Innovation Yachts are doing with Filava 👍🏼
But how much power was generating that fuel cell with that amount of hydrogen ??
Not quite sure what you mean? Please explain.
@@SailHub how many watts the fuel cell is generating given that amount of hydrogen in the bottle ?
@@TheMrGixxer ahhhh, it’s an interesting question, I’m not sure!

Nailed it!
How about listing the prices? Tells us if a product deserves a second look.

So difficult to understand and decipher what was being said!
It’s really hard filming in a really busy, noisy and open environment but we’ve been working on it and things are getting better 👍🏼
Sound is ***!
Yeah, it’s pretty tricky in a busy environment. Thankfully we picked thing up a big and next boat shows will be better. Gotta start somewhere though!
Thumbs down for that sustainability crap. 👎💩
Cheers 👍
Take your butt back to your country where you and others like to be controlled.@@SailHub
Great video👍 Being on the other side of the world it’s hard to see these new innovations. Like that Fender and Rocna anchor.
Cheers Andrew, it’s a really cool show for new products, we’re off to Düsseldorf in January, so keep an eye out for what happens there!
