Cruisers meet the ROUND THE WORLD race clipper fleet [Ep. 45]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- Boat jobs are ongoing and we make the most of our time at a marina to get some much needed work done. But then the fleet of the Round The World Clipper Race rock up and we go to check them out. We hopped on board the massive PSP Logistics Clipper and took a tour. We had some great chats with the crew, heard crazy stories from their voyage so far and we are now following along with the rest of the race as they make their way back up to the UK.
Boat tour mainly provided by: Lorenzo - check his Instagram here to follow along: theoceanpac...
Check them out on UA-cam: @ClipperRTW

Ya, 16ga would not be big enough for an AC. Also, you had it coiled, which I believe will cause even more heat.
I'd also check the gauge of the supply wire to the socket behind the TV. You wouldn't want that overheating.
For the starlink, a couple of small guide wires to either side should suffice.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing....although a little light on coconut content! 🤣
Darci and Yvette I am happy with the new cord, it is much safer, the blue cord was also too long and the way it lay on the table forms a coil and a coil gives magnetic energy, so also heat and that is dangerous, never a place a long cord in loops on or next to each other.
If an extension cord is used, always unwind it completely.
I love little coconut. She's a beauty.
Darcy is a real McGiver. He can fix anything. Great work to you both.
PLEASE Tell us how Coconut is doing.
She is doing great! she was on about 5 different drugs so she wasn't feeling to hot, but she is down to just one and putting on weight, we have got a bunch of food and tons of treats and toys, she is just staring to gain a bit of interest in her toys as she starts to feel better. We have a vet appointment for around a month from now, she may get her surgery then or she may still have to wait a bit. Right now she really just wants to cuddle all day so its been hard to get boat work done :-)

👍👌👏 2) Please adopt me. To eat and cuddle the whole day is my favourite too! 😁 ;-)
Best regards, luck and especially health to all 3 of you.
Great video! You folks always keep my interest. (I am an 83yo lady with varied sailing adventures: racing on lakes & charter cruising - Greek & Fijian Islands plus Canada. U.S. & Caribbean.)
I wish you years of safe sailing. ❤
Love you both and so happy you found Coconut...we'll be watching your awesome adventures, lots of luck
We were super lucky to find her, she is just so cute and cuddly. and she just wants to hang out all day no matter what we are doing :-)
Greetings to you 3 from Coolum Beach and thanks for the videos!
Darcy is Canadian through and through yall. World take notice!!!
Please tell Coconut that uncle Tom, Nugget and Spazzy wishes her all the best 😻😻 And you guys!!! Well you guys it goes without saying but I will because you guys are way too cool and that Ausie accent is still doing it 😊❤ Just a old dude from Pender Harbour BC 😎👍☮️🇨🇦
Thanks guys, GO COCONUT. 👍🏻💕🐾
Thanks heaps :-)
You guys are incredibly inspiring. You renovated a craft, sailed through dangerous weather and learned to fix engines, and, still seem to love each other. My husband and I were pistols at dawn over a new kitchen. Oh, and you rescue a dying cat,
Lots of love from down under. PS, Yvette, is Sydney on your itinerary? 12:41
Thanks heaps for the kind words :-)
It has been a very full 11 months but we both needed each other to make it happen so it could not have been pistols at dawn haha, maybe if we knew what we were doing more we would have stronger opinions on what the other is doing wrong haha!
I used to live in Sydney! i loved it there, but as you may be able to tell i have the travel bug haha
Good idea on the shorter heavier cord. You never want to coil up the extension cord and plug it in. You actually create an electrical coil which will generate heat.
I've been following you for a while and it just gets better and better! Looking forward to episode 400! 🙃
I tell you straight up I intend to go back and binge watch from the beginning the two that I've watched so far very impressed
Boat jobs are never finished, you just do the next one on the list. Thanks for the video.
That's very true haha :-)
Yeah princess maxima is a childrens hospital in the Netherlands for children with cancer. Great cause to sail for! ❤
Nice vid guys! Nice to digitally travel with you!
Glad to have you on board :-)
Loved the trip around the Clipper race boat. Don’t think I could take the Southern Ocean in my stride these days.
Yep I agree Darcy, Starlink needs a couple of side braces to make it properly sturdy 👍💖 18:30
Think about tinting the forward windows.
great people to follow, they are genuine and I can't believe they're sharing their trips with the world!
👍👌👏 Yella woia (or is it yeller whya?). Anyway, I simply love 💚, love 💚, love 💚 how you speak respectively pronounce things. Don't ever let go this charming behaviour.
2) I'm not really interested in monohulls. I definitely wouldn't want all that aslant sailing and I cannot understand why anyone would want it. Nevertheless there are way more monohulls existing than comfortable and more spacey catamarans and trimarans.
Best regards, luck and especially health to all 3 of you.
Thanks!
Thanks heaps for the support :-) Coconut is doing well and eating lots, Yesterday was the first time we have had the sails up with her on the boat and she did really well, she doesn't mind her harness at all and just wants to hang out :-)
4 stars for this. It would have been 5 if Coco made an appearance...just sayin'... LOL. Another great video, guys! I always look forward to Friday funday with Team Coco 😊❤😊. How is little Coco? You'll include her on next week's video, right? ❤Lauren
PS- you want to check that your outlet itself and the wire to it is rated for the correct amperage. Otherwise you can damage your AC and overheat the wire in the wall.
As cold air is heavy....you need to install the air conditioning unit higher up so the entire room can feel cold....
Good day I've been binging your videos for a while I'm about halfway through I haven't noticed you guys ever talking about yourself what you did before you guys met and how you can afford to sail I wish you would do it
I am a ex merchant seaman was down at South Georgia and the Falklands in 82 on a RFA tanker called OLNA. Went to ditch rubbish three decks up big wave hit ended up hanging on the rails over the side. Lucky a wave washed me back onboard. If you go down that far be very very careful with weather.
❤
Thanks Heaps :-)
Those Australians are all over aren't they ,I've met some great ones I even had the pleasure of working with a bunch of them Boatbuilding in the uk all good not too many sheep jokes
❤❤❤
Could you show us some of your meal preps ?
The reason your extension cable got hot is because it was coiled up. You should never use a lead coiled with 240v/120v or it will surely heat up and possibly burn.
Always unroll the cables when using them.
Cheers.
Thanks for the advice :-) The short one is working well right now, but in the future we will not coil them up :-)
I didn't see any kind of liner/buffer between the solar panel power lines and the hole you drilled to bring them into the helm station. I hope I just missed it, but if not.... If those lines get chaffed you will have a real fire hazard.
Coiled wire will get hot under load, That's why a modern extension lead will tell you the maximum load when coiled and uncoiled. I'm not saying that cable Is adequate for the load, but most of the heat would have been generated from that coil.
Thanks for the advice :-) we will not coil from now on :-)
And how is your new little boatmate doing??????
She is doing great! she was on about 5 different drugs so she wasn't feeling to hot, but she is down to just one and putting on weight, we have got a bunch of food and tons of treats and toys, she is just staring to gain a bit of interest in her toys as she starts to feel better. We have a vet appointment for around a month from now, she may get her surgery then or she may still have to wait a bit. Right now she really just wants to cuddle all day so its been hard to get boat work done :-)
✌🏽✌🏽
What’s the length of the race boat
Star link, I like your work but no need to cushion the brackets when its metal against metal, it will look much neater with out.
Thanks for the tip, its only a temp mount, in the next week or two we are going to do the proper mount and we will take the rubber out.
Great video guys, EXCEPT No video with Coco shame on you. Glad she's doing better. Darcy gonna have to get you a can of WHOOP ASS to keep you focused on task to get your stuff done LOL. What surgery does she need? Ok keep smiling and stay safe and God bless 🙏
Are bad, She was feeling really low that week with all the drugs she was on, but we will have lots of Coco going forward :-)
Did you actually just say that boat felt like the titanic oh my God?
everything is temporary unless it works
Where's Coconut?
Sorry she was having a really low week with all the drugs she was on, We should have put an update in, She is off almost all of her meds right now, and looking/feeling much better :-)
@@sailing.supernova thank you I'm glad she is doing well.
What happened to COCO? She is crew right?
She is the Captain now :-) She went on he first real sail a day ago and she loved it.
She still needs a bit of time to heal but she is doing well and eating lots :-)
Where is coconut 🥥 🐈 🐾? How is she?
Can Coco get off your boat while docked?
She can but right now she just wants to hang out close to us and her food bowl, when we leave she just waits for us and gives us some mews and cuddles when we get back :-)
First....wooohoo
Thanks heaps for the support :-)
US Army Corp of Engineers was instrumental in the design and construction of the Panama 🇵🇦 Canal they were not oppressors of forcing anyone to build it for them….Kinda an ignorant comment to make considering how many Nations World Wide Depend on this passage!!!!
We are not saying it wasn't a huge achievement in human history, But there was over 5000 recorded deaths on the project while the USA was in charge of construction, and many people lost arms and legs with nothing being given in terms of fair compensation, The Canal was built on the backs of contract workers with very few rights. again it was a huge achievement, but it came with a huge human cost.
