PAN PAN PAN

- Опубліковано 17 вер 2023
- The situation we face this week, could be the most helpless we've ever felt throughout our three years on the ocean, Purchasing our salvage sailboat, an Amel Super Maramu 53, in Indonesia. There is a 300Nm motor we have to complete in order to make it to the boat yard where our repairs will start. But this week, just about everything goes wrong, and those three emergency words are uttered, "PAN PAN PAN".

My heart sank when there was no response to your distress call. I am so very thankful that a ship came to your rescue and helped you to port. I eagerly await the updates. God speed to you and may your troubles be few and resolutions uncomplicated.
That was not well planned or executed :-/
It was pretty clear from the beginning that the time pressure was cascading into a bunch of dumb decisions, lucky it didn't turn out worse than it did - hope you reimbursed your rescuers too!
So glad you are back! Sorry your having these issues. Pray the trip gets better!
Get-there-itis with no backup rarely ends well. 🤔 You could’ve put rescuers in harms way as well. And then bugger off, leaving a pile of junk for someone else to tend to. Wow. Stunning.
Not even being there and just watching made me nervous for you. Well done for keeping relatively calm and getting through that situation. 👏
OMG, I was so concerned and worried about your safety. Thank GOD you had that fishing boat came to your rescue!! Being a power boater for 40 years it seems that worldwidw other vessels at sea are always coming around to help a vessel in distress. Happy to see you are safe and sound.
So sorry for your troubles. Thank you for sharing. It was and exciting episode. Good luck.
Keep your spirits up, you are so honest with your videos. You are safe Thats all that matters
Words fail me and I will not put my real thoughts on here.
Wow, great video! Best luck for the future! We will be here for the next one 😀
Dont stop your your dream of sailing the world despite the recent nightmare. Life presents those times where you question your decisions. Just keep moving on so that we can enjoy your presentations ❤.
That's a very serious situation u have there, stock in the middle of the ocean with gearing issues, leaks and overheating engines, but yet still lucky to find help from locals, it is really tiring and stressful to be stock specially when big waves r a storm is coming, it is nice to see that there still someones above looking at us, thank God you safe🙏..
What can I say but wow wow wow. Close to being a nightmare and so glad it all worked out. I trust your patrons will come through. I am uptight and on the borderline financially but if I had 50000 to spare I would gladly let you have it. Thanks so much for showing us this extremely iffy sale. Bon voyage and look forward to your next episode in better shape hopefully❤❤❤
Hindsight is 20/20- you guys were ill prepared. You should have hired a boat to pull you to your destination from the get go.
A really great candid video, glad you got rescued OK.
You guys are a great team and keep each others heads straight during tough times. So glad you got into port. Next time go with a well prepared vessel.
Aaaah' the joys of purchasing a salvage vehicle. Best of luck putting her back together.
..... nothing like a bit of excitement to get one questioning if one is on the right adventure .... well one thing is for sure you are getting rid of the drive line surprises now before your time doing your refit .... can well imagine the excitement when the engine turned over ..... thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger ...... have fun be safe, save our oceans .....
Wow!....feel your pain guys. I had a similar experience, bought a boat off the commodore of a yacht club .......got across Bass Strait and at Jervis Bay lost traction in fwd gear. Got as far as Sydney then had to be towed in. Rebuilt a 40Yr old gearbox.....they're not that hard to fix with the manual and common sense. Runs like a dream now! If I can do this then you definitely can! The universe will provide!
Sorry but to attempt a 300 ml trip with a crippled yacht and unusable radio was a dangerous and reckless decision and yes having recovered 2 ship wrecks at sea in a 21 year Australian Navy career qualifies me saying so
Outrageous behaviour
Well said. Irresponsible , reckless ,behaviour . Not to mention the trouble and effort this attitude causes others . I hope they are made to pay towing/salvage fees.
I know right. they have no business being on the water and not knowing how to save themselves or having taken the forethought on issues that were sure to arise
plus
they had a mizzen mast standing
and an outboard & dinghy ready to go that could have been used to propel it back to land.
seriously INEPT
And now asking-begging patrons for FREE CASH to fix that dumpster boat.
As soon as you lit that flare on the bow, my heart sank and I could feel chills on my body for both of you! Way to keep you heads about you and trying to always work the problem(s). You both work great as a team! Glad you are both safe!
Happy that you make it
French toast, on of my favorites. I love it softly pan fried with loads of butter, and cinnamon sugar. My dad always wanted it with butter, and salt & pepper. He was weird.
Great job!
Broken radio, it's about the worst. I carry a handheld as a backup, doesn't have the same reach, only some 5 mile, but it's better than nothing. I'm sure you're aware, but the actual urgency signal is "pan-pan, pan-pan, pan-pan", 3x, just like with a mayday. But what a story. I've had a broken motor that overheated last year, but at least i could sail, so i was lucky. Glad you're ok!
You guys rock! You handled that crisis very well indeed. Love your videos.
I would have got rid of the old mast and put a makeshift mast with a VHF antenna high up. The reason you didn't get a reply from the vhf is because your antenna was too low. I would have checked the engine first and would make a few trail runs before getting out. This was not responsible at all. You got away with it lucky buggers. Preparation is key to success. Hope you have learned from this. Fair winds
Y’all got a bigger set than I do. No way would of I had tried that without servicing the engine and making sure it would get me there.
Brilllllliant - thanks for sharing ⛵️ 👍 if someone cooks me a meal on passage or not I never complain.
Time for Perkins to be a moring anchor.
Congratulations at least you looked at the guage, good prep
Looking forward to the rebuild.
Hey guys ,congrats on the new boat. As for your French toast, my son likes nutella on his but not me. I put a bit of vanilla in the eggs, it's really good and I live in Canada and my brother makes pure maple syrup, so I get the good stuff. Maybe I can send you some one day. I hope everything works out good and congratulations on the engagement and happy times. I would love to dig into the mechanical systems on that boat, I'm a Machinist by trade with 10 years of millwrighting. Good luck my friends.
Relieved to see you were rescued by kind locals. Whew!
From now on...please get to the hard to identify and repair all leaks, creaks, and things that go: "bump....cachunk, cachunk, cachunk in the night." 🙏
Godspeed and
much ❤ and respect from Texas.
All the best on your on-going adventures!
✌️❤️🚀🤠
They provably would abandon the boat. In exchange for paying rescue. They were fast to leave.
Talk about leaving us on a cliffhanger! 🤣 looking forwards to seeing how you get yourself out of this one .. good luck guys ..
from one Aussie to another hate to say this - but you two are well out of your depth - (competence wise) and you got found out. but you were very lucky the weather was kind to you. I spent a long time in the grey funnel line (25+ years) - and to be honest rescuing stupid people became a chore and we did way too much of it. It put our guys at risk - and the "rescued" really had no idea. - It looks as if nothing changes. The very least remedial action - would be to properly skill yourself - do a RYA course of competency.
UA-cam sailors are more concerned with capturing a thumbnail and Instagram post than they are at the craft of sailing.
Yachticus, First Thank You for your service. I’ve known many Aussie Sailors and most of the stories match the legends. Great sailors is a fact. Kiwis too. Maybe too brave too. Then there’s the inevitable ‘the inexperienced idiots’ and yes there are a lot of them. Those who are weekenders, take a long time to get their skill… rounded out. Rounded out is all round water ability, but I have a question yachticus….. what has happened to the correct way to use the distress calls on radio. We all know Mayday said three times over the radio, but have they changed the PAN? I remember the correct and legal way to use that level of problems hail was saying Pan like this; Pawn, Pawn/ Pawn, Pawn/ Pawn, Pawn.. six times and all these later years I keep hearing hailers sayin Pan instead of Pawn. Did it officially change because our rescue services just couldn’t get the ‘on the water’ idiots to use that level of information on the radio correctly and just let it go? Your reply is necessary as a coast guard personnel of experience.
Nicely done. This will be a great experience to remember for all your upcoming adventures. In the absence of a video that would say otherwise, you're both cut for this, and work well together! :) Best of luck with repairs, and looking forward to happier days!

Don't panic, stay calm and work the problem always - stay safe and have fun
You are doing very well. Maple syrup on the French toast. Pelabuhan means harbour in Malay. I hope you got the gearcase sorted without too much drama.
I had a feeling from your last response that things had gone sideways. So happy you are both safe and made it to port. Im sure you checked all the transmission cables but also im concerned about the engine losing coolant. I dont know if your engine has freeze plugs but if it does i would be highly suspicious of them. I know its easy to get down when you have so many overwhelming issues going on especially when youre exhausted. I'll send you some money when i can but it will be a bit. Until then ill be watching and try to offer up some old salty advice lol.
Shit happens. Well done for trying. Also you have restored some of my faith in humanity with this video, because those fishermen that rescued you guys were amazing human beings. Honestly it brought a tear to my eyes when they helped you and showed me that with all the madness going on in this world at this time that their really are good people out there.
God bless.
Praying for y’all🙏🏼
A few things need to be on your go/no go check list.
Also you must do a basic mechanical course and basic electrical course.
Learn how to use a boom preventor.
One last thing.... everything to do with rudder and rudder mounting must be first class.
Good luck... keep safe.
This is my first time watching your video. I watch many other yachting channels as well for sometime now. I'm no sailer myself and never will at my stage of life, 80 years old. I'm wondering if you think you are "running away from someone or something??" Who takes such chances if not absolutely life expectancy challenged? If no one is chasing after you, put into port and get things back to sea worthy condition!! Neither you nor that boat are qualified to be on the open sea, knowing up front the overall disasters that boat has already been through. Don't blow your lives away just for the sake of wanting to sail away. Take charge of yourself and be responsible for your first mate if nothing else. Be safe always from the Philippines 💞
W0W! Sooo much B..S. to deal with! You did an Excellent job of filming it for us! Well done &Thanx!
300 miles in a semi-crippled boat and the concern is nutella on french toast?... that makes you one very cool skipper... kudos to both of you for keeping your collective cool... I can't wait for the next episode
If there is no ship to be seen from where you are then it is completely senseless to use a flare or sound a horn.
It was foolish.
Hmmm i think thats what thé captain of the Titanic said aswell, hmmm nice job boys running in that iceberg !!! Now mate lets drink a nice cold one down under. This just dumb behaviour and dangerous to other sailors
Thanks for sharing your mistakes. Kind of shocking how little precaution you took given years of experience though. The boat had been on the hard for awhile, can’t count on anything working.
Scout moto that has always stood me in good stead in life '' BE PREPARED''..!!!
Very impressive 👍🙏♥️
Thank God you are in Malaysia. Friendly people as you may have noticed. I was there numerious times and still have friends there. I case you need any help...feel to ask.
Glad you got her into port. Very lucky the other boat saw you and stopped. But at least you had Nutella and French toast...could have been hardtack and salt beef....8^) Best wishes for getting the engine / gearbag issues sorted out. Re the engine - it could be that chunks of rust and decayed gaskets have clogged cooling passages while the boat sat idle. Strip er right down and get a gasket kit and she'll be right. The gearbag - not sure. Prop could still be fouled on harbour / shipping lane trash - that could overload the engine. Cheers!
The attention call is two word phrase "Pan-Pan" repeated 3 times, not the single work "Pan" repeated 3 times.
Ah, yes... The joys of cruising.
One thing we learn over time is that nothing is as bad as it seems.
Until it get worse!
But you made it the first step and that was a huge one, trusting so many unknowns, the engine, the gearbox, the prop and shaft, the steering gear, and everything else. Now you are beginning to see the size of the repair job will be larger than you expected.
It will keep growing but you can do it, you can rebuild and make a sound and safe cruising boat. I
t won't be easy, quick, or inexpensive. Rather it will be the opposite.
Hopefully you’ve been researching your particular engine and system but there are only a few things that overheat an engine . So at least that narrows it down. It’s no where near freezing there either so you can just use water in a pinch or anytime really. Engines with bad head gaskets can rob coolant also. Gear box sucks and that’s gonna cost ya but hopefully it’s repairable and the local boys are masters at keeping stuff alive! Good luck!!
Fair play to you. Your alot braver than i am.
Coolant leaks indicate the system is not pressurising, the purpose of pressurising is to raise the boiling point, good luck you guys. But it sounds like you found the leak, and I`m glad your safe .
Pressurizing raises the boiling point. I suspect this was a simple typo by the OP. Wanted to post here just to reduce confusion.
@@meestahwah totally correct thanks for that.
Much prayers for you guys and wish you guys all the best brother ... try to stop by saudi arabia ..ill be happy to see you guys ❤❤
Wow. I am worn out watching.. glad you are safe.
On the face of it crazy to make a trip in a boat that's so messed up - sounds like your radio wasn't working either. On the other hand sometimes stuff needs to be done. Sorry it ended up like it did glad the weather wasn't bad. Hope the engine and stuff was repairable.
Hope when you guy's go back take care of the ones took you safe to port
Wow, that’s terrifying! I’m glad you’re ok.
You two are amazing! You will succeed there is not doubt in our minds!!! And when you do, and you hit 200K subscribers (and continuing to grow) you will look back at this current moment in amazement! This was such a POWERFUL episode, and you came through it as I knew you both would.

Get on the horn to Brian on the Delos when you get a chance.
Love ❤️ yalls videos!

Glad you're okay. If it's a ZF25 it looks like the shift lever is a hydraulic valve that directs flow to either the forward or reverse clutch packs. If it wasn't fully in forward it may have limited the hydraulic pressure on the clutches to forward gear, so the forward clutch slipped and burned out as a result. Unfortunately clutch kits don't look cheap. :(
I had exactly that whilst doing a similar stupid delivery trip with a friend who had bought a cheap wreck. Low oil level in the gearbox results in the hydraulic pump losing pressure and the clutch does not engage properly. We noticed the lack of drive before it got wrecked and just needed more oil. But guys, if you go out again keep a better eye on the engine temps/fluid levels. You could have saved yourselves so much trouble and money
What a story. After this, You can do anything ! Sky is the limits!
Glad your both ok that would’ve been intense. No triple j out there hippy 😂 hope your both well, cheers Adam (old man)
I have to ask. Owning other boats you didn't know how to bench test the other starter? It will save you a lot of steps trouble shooting. Remember always make sure you have a great ground especially on a high draw item like a starter. Make sure the body and the ground wire are booth clean. Also just in case you didn't know. If you don't bleed the air out of your cooling systems it will overheat and you will lose your coolant again.
Maybe some lessons on the basics of the working of engines and how to troubleshoot and bypass things and checking the servicing of things
Looked like a challenging situation. May I suggest a few safety things for next time. It seems that your radio was short on range so I’d guess that your aerial was in your mast. An emergency aerial is standard in racing safety equipment inventories and a good idea would be to use the mizen mast. Your flare was not very effective because you needed to use a parachute flare but only when you think someone will see it. Save the hand held flares for trying to get attention like when the fishing boat was not picking up on your hand signal waving. Same with the air horn. You need a strategy of when to use things which helps you not panic as you have a plan to follow, When you are back in Newcastle drop down the yacht club and get a copy of a cat 2 or cat 1 safety check list from the sailing office…then invest. Happy to meet up and talk though it.
Wow ✌️🤠
Wow guys what a battle. In South Africa we say "vasbyt"
Good old Royal Selangor Yacht Club if your still there find a guy called EMMY he was my light weight forward hand when i was sailing over there fond memories :)
Glad you made it safe to port. I’m assuming there wasn’t any wind to use the mizzen? Is the mizzen functional?
Go for it guys Marty Australia
Learn when and how to use flares would help more
well if that isn't material that are good stories of sailing life are made of. ✌️👍👍
Those poor fishermen who used a lot of fuel and lost many hours of their precious earning time to tow you into port. You went to sea poorly prepared and these poor souls had to save you. PLEASE Patreons, send us money! Will never watch another episode.
I would never take a boat with so many unknowns and damage on a trip like you were trying to do... it was just crazy!! Luckily you are safe.. The radio probably was not working or connected to the cable or aerial (did you check it worked before you left port?) and remember the VHF aerial is usually located at the top of the mast.. and where is yours now?.. on deck... drag the boat out of the water and GET IT FIXED and SAFE to use!!!.... Get a mechanic to go over the motor and show you things about the motor... get the steering fixed and the leak in the steering post as I mentioned in a previous video... You were both putting your own lives at risk by going out to sea in an unsafe vessel. I am a Coast Guard skipper here in Australia and have been for over 10 years.. this sort of stuff is ludicrous and just for youtube is just plain STUPID!!!... Also just curious.. can you use the mizzen or not? if yes then you could have sailed to somewhere or even sailed into the port that you wanted to get to...
Totally agree.
I am in Flotilla one, Southport Coast Guard 😊
Here Here to set sail without a functioning Radio and with so many problems is Stupid and the Men an Women who man the Rescue organisations around the world should be Angry at you
@@quolls2well I have to agree but if the kids get home they will have a boat worth the risk Marty Australia
I couldn't agree more. I'm prior US Coast Guard and I can't tell you how many search and rescues I've been on. I'm completely dumb founded that they attempted this long of a passage with that boat. Not to mention with nothing secured down and no solid communications.
"There are old sailors. There are bold sailors. There are no old, bold sailors." -Proverb You did everything you could. Safety is the only real concern. As long as you both made it to port in one piece, the rest can be fixed. Hopefully, this will get the gremilins out of the way too.
Capt Karl, yours is a very accurate comment. You’d be welcome at any port, Marina or yacht club.
easy, to be negative as lots of bad choices, but glad you made it, but you did just barely. Whatever luck you had you used it up.
Use fiber washers on those coolent system bolts
Being a Delos watcher I'm willing to bet you are having issues with the salt water impeller. I've seen Brian repair his a multitude of times, occasionally almost right after a recent repair of the same issue. I would have a look and carry spares for those parts.
No, the problem seems to be on the engine side of the heat exchanger therefore they were leaking coolant rather than salt water.
@@AllyB824 they were boiling the coolant off due to extreme heat.
If you can stay positive after all this, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.
you need to keep one of these onboard for water leaks 220 Pieces Copper Washers, HELIFOUNER 10 Sizes Copper Metric Sealing Washers, Flat Washers Assortment Kit (M5 M6 M8 M10 M12 M14 M16)
A couple of pointers from an experienced sailor, who doesn't know it all. Your mizzen looks from the shots I have seen to be undamaged and could be used as a form of sailing propulsion. Not enough to make epic cross ocean sails but a couple of knots in the right direction as well as dampening the rocking of the boat. Lighting a hand held flare when you can see no other vessel is a waste of a resource. A parachute flare different story but also best used at night. The air horn same as the hand held flare. If you use it up before a vessel is in sight then it will do you no good. As your main mast is down you probably do not have a working antenna hooked up to your radio and if you do it will probably only broadcast as far as a hand held. Putting an antenna up top of your mizzen mast at least gives it a range chance. Well done on not firing off the eperb as you noticed you were in shallow enough water to be able to anchor and secure the boat.
I had similar thoughts. But then practical solutions involving self rescue don’t look as good for ‘the gram’
@@paullewandowski3643 Which does of course beg the answer was this all or instagram or a real scenario. My thought is clickbait. They have enough real sailing videos and probably lost a lot of subs when the sold their first boat.I also find their lack of response to the current video is more about building views than an actual situation Too bad as this used to be a decent channel about sailing.
I like my french toast savoury with lots of salt & pepper
Two words: Charlie Foxtrot! 😊
Along with the horrible movie "All is lost" this will serve well as a "Not how to prepare for a boating emergency" training video.
Maybe a stupid question, but couldn’t you use the mizzen mast sail ? Another thought would be to reverse the propeller in the shaft.
Prop shafts are tapered at the end, and the inside of the prop is tapered to match - so not possible to swap it front for back like that
Even if it could be reversed the pitch of the blades remains the same, just get a household screw and flip it end for end and you’ll see that it still has the screw flights in the same direction!
No dingy to push the boat??
We use syrup on French toast and pancakes with some fruit.
Great video. But what type of work commitments would make you leave the yacht care to strangers 👍👍
Could you not use the mizzen sail???
Working on a boat away from where you are living can be so stressful. I am saying this because I am doing it myself. Just remember to get a one way ticket as you never know what surprises will happen to change your plan.
Thank you for your comment mate! Indeed, cheers. Hope your repairs are going as smooth as they can!
Water is not good for an electric fire and in fact most fires on a boat. The starter probably had water in there and taking it apart and drying it out as well as cleaning the brass bits (commutator) would have most likely got you a running motor out of the gate. Hopefully the gearbox issue is a linkage issue. I'd think you would have heard a gear disintegrating but maybe they are made of phenolic or similar to help them be quiet.
In hindsight sea trials before you left what happens on engine failure ? Golden syrup and bananas on french toast.
❤❤🥰🥰
Unfortunately when any boat or ship hits a unmovable object at speed there is a shock load put on all the internal equipment. The shock loading can cause a lot of unseen damage to engines, gearboxes and shaft lines and other mechanical equipment.
Glad you are both ok. But sadly not your finest hour or the best decision making. Guess you've had a big learning curve. If you had not owned a boat before i might have expected such poor judgement. Hey ho onwards and upwards.
Feeling very bad for you guys.
The Tohatsu doesn’t run?
