Cheers James! Paying a shipwright is about $150 an hour, who can even afford that!? It’s a great way to learn our boat inside out too 👌🙏 hope you’re having a great weekend 🙌🧡
Lived aboard for 7 years on our Catalina 470. Got rid of the accumulator and replaced the water pump with a quality variable speed pump...No accumulator necessary. One less potential leak and one less part to replace. It worked great. Love your channel BTW. Oh and the lack of a bow thruster will become less of an issue with your increased experience - It will actually make you a better yachtsman.
I just came across your channel. I love you too. I’m more amazed that all the stuff you have to change and repair. I started watching Ceiling Delos I watch Parlay revival and this is lead me to you guys and you have a great channel. I’m just watching where you bought the boat and this is my third episode. Good luck with everything I haven’t really got to know you guys much.
The team is still in motion...so hard sitting back here and watching...lol. P.S. Eucalyptus Oil rapidly removes glue gunk...and leaves a beaut Aussie scent....enjoy.
A new Aussie sailing channel. What a great find. Already in your first 3 vids, the quality of the filming and editing is obvious. Your background in television is an asset for that. Love watching John's pilot un-phasedness. That will also be an asset when the s*** hits the fan. I particularly like your openness and honesty about the things that you don't know yet. We can all relate to that. Looking forward to the next videos.
Aloha from the Big Island 🏝of Hawaii! Very nice video. Fastest 10 minutes of my life. I wish there was more. Looking forward for your next video. So until next week be safe and Thank You again for the video. Aloha and Mahalo!
Awww, wow! This felt like a massive hug! Thank you for your kind words and love. We have been to your island - it is MAGIC! We hope to be able to visit again one day - perhaps on Tucana!? 😄🥰😍 Aloha, and thank you for watching x Kristina x
@@KristinasTravels Thank you. If ya'll are back at the Big Island we live in Ocean View. We have great sun sets and can see from southpoint all the way to Captain Cook. Cannot wait to see how it all comes out on the repairs. Thank You again and Aloha.
Seen so many of these UA-cam videos, but your background in Journalism. Wow!!, videos are well narrated and explained. Thank you, many blessing on your new Journey!.
You guys are awesome! John, next time you service the winches (because you will forget by then) take photos as you dismantle them. Makes it easy to put them back correctly.
Thank you so much. Wow. Huge compliment. We’re feeling the love. Thanks for spreading your goodness and good vibes!!! The world needs more of it right now 🥰
This is fantastic...... I can say with confidence you are living a dream that most of us wanted. You story telling is fantastic and very much appreciated by all I am sure!! I will be following.
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words. We really appreciate the love ❤️ Just two little Aussies trying to grab life by the.... !! Thanks for being here, we really love sharing the journey with you 😃
Heading back from melbourne to WA to work in the mines again. This time…. THIS TIME! lol. I’m going to come out of it with enough money to buy a yacht. Great to see a new Aussie sailing channel and was amazed when I watched the first ep. and it’s in my home town. Well done! I’ve subscribed. Hopefully in about two years I’ll be buying something similar in either perth or Darwin. (Darwin has some awesome marinas btw, great place to have a liveaboard)
Ohhh, how kind. Thank you for your lovey words. Appreciate your support so early on in this wild journey, it’s all very new to me, so I’m learning along the way 🙂🥰❤️
Nice work, but...I have the exact same emergency tiller but I thought "bugger that sh..t". I had a nice new tiller made (in s/s box steel) that hugs the sole and connects to a Raymarine tiller-pilot. That's my backup now because I lost the wheel steering to quadrant vires south of Lady Musgrave and had to hand steer and I fell asleep again and again due to lack of (you guessed it) sleep.
All the best guys and channel is off to a great start , I got rid of my house 1.5 years ago , moved aboard and never looked back , looking forward to watching you grow

As usual, I am a year late and a dollar short, but removing old adhesive only requires the use of a heat gun or old hair dryer. Heat up the old adhesive and then it comes off pretty easy with a razor blade. The heat reactivates the glue making the job much easier.
Long time off shore sailor here, could you be the 3rd sailing channel I subscribe to? Project Atticus and Sailing Uma being the first. Your episodes have been very well thought out and have drawn me to continue watching, nothing hidden and we need to see the good and the bad. As with yachts there's always something to do. Good adventures to you, both be safe.
Hi there, I just found you guy's & jumped onboard the Adventure! Looking forward a tour of your new floating home? Thanx for sharing the journey with us!
I am a Master Electrician, anytime you need advise I will be more than happy to answer. I am not a Sailboat person, nor have I ever been on one. But, I have watched Pirates of the Caribbean.. lol. I have a large Motor Yacht we live on it 24/7. Electricity is Electricity. Watching you pull wire(s). Get a strong Jet Line or use a Fisch Tape, makes job alot easier. You need to be heading to the Caribbean where it is warm. Alot of work on the Boat huh? Consider this as your FIRST Adventure with alot more to come. Your 375watts is divided by your AC (Alternating Current) power which gives you the Amp load of the Panel. Keep in mind you will lose Amps if it is shady or cloud cover. Install a Volt Meter/Amp to see how much you are losing or gaining. Looks like you will only be able to use inhouse lighting when not running.
I don't know if you have this product in Oz but 'Liquid Wrench' or 'PB Blaster' will loosen seized fasteners much better than WD40. Use WD40 on things that you want to keep from getting stuck (it repels water i.e. Water Dispersant). But once it is stuck- forget about it. You need something with real penetrating power!
When you are cleaning, grinding or using an electrical tool, is a good idea to use safety goggles and ear protection, when you are at sea your eyes an ears are very important.
Thanks for the tip David! I'll have to give that a go next! Hope all is well down there at SYC, say hello to Dean (Ropeable), Graeme Mills (in the office) and Barnie (the rigger) for us!! ❤️❤️ That's where it all began for us. ⚓️
To remove adhesive try hand sanitizer. The alcohol in it will usually dissolve glues of all sorts plus it's not damaging to what you are cleaning and more importantly your skin.
Wow Cool Ive Done a Trip from Hobart to Sydney , We Had to bring back a Super cool old wooden Boat from the 60's that sailed down there In the Sydney To Hobart a few years ago , Before the World Went Coc Coo , I Hope you Enjoy your new Adventures , Id bee there some where on a Boat Too But i haven"t got the money unfortunally :( What Type of Ship is That It looks Verry Nice Good luck too you Both enjoyed the Vid
How long ago was this filmed? Hasn’t Melbourne been in lockdown for months? I think you might of been better off investing in a stern arch and fitting hard solar panels to reduce the shading effect on the solar panels. Which reduces the electrical output.
Hey Andrew, This was filmed about 3-4 weeks ago before Melbourne went into lockdown 4.0 actually! And yes, we agree with you on the arch and panels etc, but no one was able to fit them fast enough in Melbourne - everyone we spoke to had a lead time of 6 weeks - so we plan to get the dodger and bimini done up north with an arch down the track! 😃 We explored all options, but this was a compromise and the right option for us with winter fast approaching
Moral of the story - it doesn't matter what post your wife or GF is on...it's always the guy that has to do the hard work..and the girl bloging and cheering for you...! That's equality my friend , hard and bitter truth !
It means it will nominally products 375W of power, dependant on it actually getting full sun. As the sails and boom will shadow it where it is and it wont produce that much power.
😂😂 but... put simply... if you had an average modern mobile phone... how much power does it produce? How many phones could you charge at the same time? 🤣🤣 Ps. This isn’t john. This is Kristina typing. Hahaha 😝
@@KristinasTravels a modern iPhone has roughly 3000 mAh at 12V which translates to 36Watt hours… means in perfect conditions your panel with 375 watts delivers enough power in one hour to charge good 10 phones. Of course you need a battery in between as your phone charges much slower and you rarely will charge 10 phones at a time…
Love the videos! What is John going to do with his pilot job and ratings for the year. Also, boats are a continual project!!!! Can we help with a Patreon account? Do you have one set up? If you could address that it would be Aussiesom.
@@KristinasTravels for me it's just great seeing folk your ages down tools and going out and living a little. Who knows, you may never go back to working in your current fields. I wouldn't be surprised if you'll decide one day to circumnavigate the world. Perhaps not in this boat but that's the beauty about the future. You can make it anything you want it to be. Happy travels to you both and here's to a safe journey on the road we call life. 🍻 Oh and be sure to check out a young NZ bloke, I forget what his YT channel is called but his boat is a big cat called Parlay something (I've forgotten the full name of it just now). Stay safe. 🤘
yt in its infinite wisdom told me to check you out. so i did. looking good :-) are you using any particular yt channels as maintenance tutorials? or are you already experts? :-))
Do you really need to wear a fluorescent vest when working on -inside your own boat? Success with your plan. Remember it is not the boat that counts , it,s the motion of the ocean. Grts from a jeanneau 39 in cold Belgium even if it is supposed to be summer on this side… sail well. Grts filip
An iphone 12 has a 10.78Wh battery capacity. In an hour, your solar panel (at max sunlight) is going to put out 375Wh. So you could theoretically charge 34 iPhone 12’s in an hour if everything was perfect.
Electricians get paid? 1:38 $150/hr "Marine" Electrician, $250/HR! Also high voltage (240V, 120V - house voltage ... to low voltage 24/12 - car/boat - to solar (could be ~50V)) have 1.5KW solar, 350W + of wind and maybe hydro, for when you can sail (it will add drag).
Go the distance.it's the familiarisation stages of yachts.the work stage is the intro and precision knowledge base log.if you don't learn it you limit your skill base to know how she feels right on the water. It's an inner connection to being and traversing the oceans as switched on sailors.look after her.sea U o
You should have used kerosene to remove adhesive that’s old. Works on skunk juice if you get sprayed and wash your hair in it if you get lice. Lol. I laugh but it’s Truth.
😂😂 John’s not a huge vlogging fan! I’m yet to twist his arm!! He’s actually very camera shy!!!! I actually want to include him in the name! We were thinking Sailing Tucana, but I also have travel guides on here... so it’s a tough one! Even Tucana Travels? But if we register the yacht on the shipping registry when/if we go overseas we’ll have to change her name as there is already a Tucana on there 😔 I mean.. we could call her Tucana II if it came to that. And let me add. Men DO count. They’re an important part of our society and I love my MAN with all my heart ❤️
Moral of the story - it doesn't matter what post your wife or GF is on...it's always the guy that has to do the hard work..and the girl bloging and cheering for you...! That's equality my friend , hard and bitter truth !
@@KristinasTravels he seems a very hard working guy...being a maintenance engineer i know what he went through cleaning assembling those gears that too with a smile on his face...don't leave him he is a keeper...good luck to both of you for the future lots of love to both of you !😋
Nothing better than doing the work yourself and saving $$$. Better than watching reruns on TV. Great work.

Watts (w) is a measurement of power. Example: an iron might take 800w to run it. While an LED light might take .01w to cause it to light.
A more significant measure is Amps. Amps = Watts / Volts

I don't know if you have this product in Oz but 'Liquid Wrench' or 'PB Blaster' will loosen seized fasteners much better than WD40.

Haha 😂 THIS IS MY FAVOURITE COMMENT FOR THE MONTH!!!! ❤️
I think so too! Hehe 😜
@@KristinasTravels keep up the good work kids - very proud of you! Will be watching your adventures with envy! Happy to crew anytime!
“Kristina’s travels” but what about the other person traveling with you?
Men don't count, it's all about femtails today.
@@kiwia8271 it seems like 85% of femtails in UA-cam sailing videos are narcissists
😂😂 John’s not a huge vlogging fan! I’m yet to twist his arm!! He’s actually very camera shy!!!! I actually want to include him in the name! We were thinking Sailing Tucana, but I also have travel guides on here... so it’s a tough one! Even Tucana Travels? But if we register the yacht on the shipping registry when/if we go overseas we’ll have to change her name as there is already a Tucana on there 😔 I mean.. we could call her Tucana II if it came to that.
And let me add. Men DO count. They’re an important part of our society and I love my MAN with all my heart ❤️
Moral of the story - it doesn't matter what post your wife or GF is on...it's always the guy that has to do the hard work..and the girl bloging and cheering for you...!
That's equality my friend , hard and bitter truth !
John and I just playing to our strengths 🤣
@@KristinasTravels he seems a very hard working guy...being a maintenance engineer i know what he went through cleaning assembling those gears that too with a smile on his face...don't leave him he is a keeper...good luck to both of you for the future lots of love to both of you !😋
