      How does your SAR work if registered in a place like Marshall Is.? As I understand it, if you activate your EPIRB, the signal gets routed to the SAR authority in your country of ships registration, and they co-ordinate rescue resources, even if you are not in their territorial waters. Does that happen with the Marshall Islands?

      Merchant ships are built overseas regestered in countries like Panama Marshall Islands , which are flags of convenience for tax puposes, etc Much of the crew is foreign (Which makes it harder for guys like us who want to work on an ocean ship, no lakers) That is a broader response since the WYNNS are all American :) But, it all has to do with less regestration requirements, taxes, et

      Its why I support a few key people on Patreon - Sometimes great videos don't trend well on youtube. The Wynns got me through the pandemic - Arguably got the crappiest hand delt to them but got through with positivity, and left nothing but a trail of great stories and positive change. (Animal rescues, Clean water, Cancer Treatments for someone who is dying...) Like COME ON! Its so hard to believe there are people like this that exist anymore following them gives me faith in humanity.

    Re the projector, we have a Nebula Laser projector. It’s small but powerful, and puts out a great picture. It also stores away really well into a small space. For the screen we did a pop-up screen rather than a pull-down screen that needs to be hung or mounted. When we sail or race our house, all the home-stuff, including the projector screen can be stowed and it’s light. We got fourth in a double-handed race just today! And tonight we’ll celebrate with a movie on a big screen!

    Hello Jason and Nikki, I figured I'll put my two cents in on projectors. I can't say for marine grade, but I currently use a Epson Home Cinema 1060 and from the years that I have had it haven't had many complaints. The only suggestion is if you go for a projector always keep a spare lamp bulb for it cause they can blow without warning sometimes.

    So far, loving the new boat. 1. Am wanting to know about the makeup (or make) of the mattresses, 2. Love the idea of the induction cook top. A) do you like how it cooks? B) how do you hold pots steady in rough seas? C) You fought over whether or not to get a dishwasher, and moaned about the price, 1. does it work well, 2. Was it worth it?

      We make the mattress here at HH. It is a plastic spring mattress so they can bend to be fit inside the cabin doors and they will not rust. Highly breathable memory foam on the top. It's the highest quality mattress we can provide and they come standard on all of our models. Thanks for asking. We will let the Wynns comment on your other questions, although the pots are held in place by a mat (that's all that is needed)!

    • @gonewiththewynns
      @gonewiththewynns  11 місяців тому +2

      Thanks for that @HHCatamarans! I was curious about the mattress as well.
      As for the rest, Nikki and Jason have been cooking on induction since RV days, and love it. Cats don't heel as much as monohulls, so keeping pans in place isn't too difficult. I have seen videos with Nikki cooking where she sticks a silicone mat under one side of the pot to help hold it still when the boat's rocking. You can also do that to help regulate heat under the pan. More about why they love induction can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/ZkEtbyka7KY/v-deo.html And I'm sure we'll get a report on how the dishwasher's performing soon!

  • @mukkaar

    Idk, if there's any screen that is made for marine environment. But what could work is some kind of quick mount system so you can move the screen around, and store it when not in use. Then just install some attachment points in the boat where you want them. This would limit degradation to the canvas to minimum, which would be critical for good picture.

  • @deraneaton2576
    @deraneaton2576 11 місяців тому +15

    Nikki, a solution for your mini movie theater: 1) Projector: Contact Riley and Elayna over at "Sailing La Vagabonde". They showcased a marine-portable projector worthy of consideration. If you see a Rapido-built orange trimaran somewhere around the So.China Sea, it's probably them. 2) Screen: I suggest making this out of a 4 ft x 8 ft x 1/8-in sheet of UV-stabilized polycarbonate (Lexan, Makrolon, etc. -- available from sheet stock industrial plastics suppliers even H/H might know of). Cut to fit, then sand the projection face using 400-800 grit fine sandpaper to have an evenly diffuse surface, then hinge this to the ceiling along one long edge. To stow, use an adhered velcro grip to hold it flush with the ceiling. This is simple, waterproof, and easy to clean when doing a deck wash. Save any leftover sheet stock for other possible boat projects.

    The first video of yours I watched was very your first sailing lesson. I though, "Hmmm, these guys are intrepid." Little did I know! Can't believe it's been 8 years. Congrats on being back at sea, and on navigating your way thru all the things that have happened since your first lesson!

    I have been the owner of so many projectors. My favourite is the Dangbei Atom. It's bright, has all the apps, can run a VPN, and being a laser projector you can use it in some ambient light too. It does all the focusing and picture adjustments all on its own. The Epson Duet screens are portable and pack up small.

    I can't describe how happy I am for the two of you to be back on the water in your new boat (which is absolutely beautiful!). Though it's been 40 years for me since my last visit, I hope you enjoy the beauty, culture, amazing food and, most importantly, the wonderful people of the Philippines, as I did.

    Another thought was what happens when its raining. Curiosity 1.0 seemed to have great weather protection while at the helm during a rainstorm. The new helms seem to be "not so much". I assume its something you've thought about however I'm very interested in what that looks like during a storm.

    • @nonpatriot8863
      @nonpatriot8863 11 місяців тому +2

      Yeah when you compare it to the helm position of something like sailing Zatara it seems to lack comfort and weather protection. I would certainly say the same about their dinghy compared to yours.

    • @911turbo733
      @911turbo733 11 місяців тому +1

      I also questioned being at the helm. I like an unobstructed view from the helm especially at night in tight quarters, bad weather, shallow water. Was there no option for an interior helm? I guess you could steer with the autopilot. I know this was a consideration and I believe you covered some of that in a previous video.

I applaud you taking time to settle into routines and getting your life aboard settled. Thanks so much for taking time to tell us your story and for not trying to hide the challenges you’ve faced since you started the process two years ago. You’re both delightful people and my wife and I enjoy watching your videos on Sunday afternoons. Blessings on the Wynns and on Curiosity II!

    Hi! I know you're excited to be sailing again, but selfishly, I'm stoked for more SAILING adventures (finally!). Some channels have faster boats, some boats have a bit longer lineage, but none has a cuter/happier crew. It was easy to fall in love with Nikki immediately, and to his credit, Jason consistently proves he's an amazing guy. Well done you two!

    Nice boat! Congrats n all that stuff. Retired home theater installer. Perhaps an overhead projector mounted just inside the cabin, on a swivel, to rotate in all direction, specifically fore n aft as Nicky suggests,,a roll down screen mobile so you can mount aft or fore. You could possibly mount the projector to retract into the ceiling, if space allows, or just hang there, since it'll be out of the way. Your biggest challenge would be speaker placement. Switchable permanently mounted in both viewing areas would be ideal. Good luck.

    Great video Guys, Thanks, it's soo nice to be back on the water with you. You really have to look at an inflatable projector screen with a portable projector. It doesn't have to be 4K the big advantage is you can take it anywhere you want, to the beach, to another boat. Perfect movie nights.😀

    Interested in the process and choices for registering in a specific country as well as the rules of flying flags at different ports. While you’re giving a boat tour….how about telling us how you plan to keep that place clean? It seems more windows, more locker space, etc - but you have the same amount of time! I’m sure like us RVers, you discover secrets to make it go fast and keep it tidy. LOVE the boat! So great to see y’all so excited!

    You’ve both been incredible in how you have managed the last few years of consistent change and challenges. I love you recognise you need physical and emotional healing time, just don’t try and do it quickly otherwise it will chase you up again.
    Stage yourselves over at least 3 months where the majority of time is chill time.
    Wishing you both well and fun filled journeys from here on 😊
    I know from personal experiences that we often don’t fully appreciate how burnt out we can be so we start feeling good and rush back in, because that’s how we function.

    I highly recommend the mini nebula capsule. It’s in a tough metal case. It’s small (pop can size) and I’ve taken it all over the world with me. Has all the streaming apps on it. You don’t need a screen for it if you have a light or white background. You can adjust screen size from iPad size to 100 inch screen. Great quality picture and decent sound. I bought a jbl flip to go with it if you like that bass. I did get a roll down screen from Amazon that you can mount anywhere or you can use a bed sheet. It mounts to a tripod or you can put on a surface with a rubber drink holder.

    Hey guys
    Following you regularly since just after you sold your previous boat.
    I must say if I had my life over again I would be doing your life for sure.
    I have also checked out a number of other channels that have just splashed their new boats. Your boat is what I would consider for a world cruiser. I just love the the whole look of the interior and exterior - its a lot of volume for 2 people!
    The people at HH look to be very able at what they build.
    My congrats for your next adventures

Was really "apparently" nice about the team is that everyone seem to get along great and that makes the experience even better. Right now I am green with envy seeing folks on the boat sailing. Keep up the great videos and I will be trying to watch all of them.

    Finally. 8:15 That helm position is the only thing I do not think I'd like. No protection, no backrest, have to run to the other side to see the opposite corner and looking through the windows can have the effect of inducing sea sickness sometimes, not even considering rain/visibility impairment issues with weather. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have this boat, just having sailed a few now, this is the one thing I have big reservations about. Jason, I am interested in Bikini (s) (both) as I am headed toward buying a boat.

    Enjoy your adventure keep the smile on your faces.
    Can you “swing out” or move your monitors for different helm positions? Maybe this not a necessity.
    Love the boat, it has an Artistic presence to it.

    17:45 Does the hydro generator slow down the boat significantly? Is feathering the propellor a possible option for the hydro generator? My understanding is that the auto-feathering option will kill the hydro generation ability.
