My sailing instructor told me that non-swimmers can operate hand pumps much faster than people who can swim.
!!!!! :)
FACT: where I live they did a lot of lumber rafting on Alpine rivers - you had better chances of getting a job as crew on a raft if you could NOT swim.
Anton Ditt, I heard from a navy officer, they only accept non swimmers. They defend the ship longer. 😁
😂👍
A panicking man with a 2 gallon bucket is also a good bilge pump
*Sailing* *Nahoa* : Here is how you stop your boat from sinking
*ME* (living in a landlock country & gets sea sick very easily) : ahh yeees... I need to know this.
🤣
Random J what does landlock country mean?
@@Luke-gg1km None of its territory is connected to an ocean.
YOU NEVER KNOW J
YOU NEVER KNOW.
@@Luke-gg1km I think it means that country is connected to any oceans or its surrounded from all sides by different countries
I've had a 34' wooden boat for many years and you learn to deal with leaks quite often.. a good trick for small leaks is to have some sawdust in a jar or container and tip it into the water near the leak, the leak will ingest the sawdust into the hole and seal the leak. Another trick is where you have the water inlet for the motor pump, I put a T fitting and valve with a fitting and have a hose to reach any part of the boat to use as a pump if needed. Always Always have several different types and sizes of pumps both hand-operated and power operated as you may not always have power. I'm also ex RAN (Royal Australian Navy) and we have to learn how to seal leaks on ships etc.. and do a 1 week course on leak sealing.. always keep lots of rags, corks and pieces of rubber, band clamps and rope/string for sealing leaks.. Make a Leak kit!... You will never know when you will need it.!!
wax paper and water proof duck tape on the outside of the boat (if you can safely do it) can get you to shore.
Good ole flex tape would be handy.
robert miller /.
I use a similar method to the water intake method you mentioned to have hot running water out of my old Jeep. The old Jeep has a manual transmission. I got the radiator for the automatic transmission. I then installed a small electric pump on the inlet of the automatic transmission intercooler to suck up water from a brook or river. The water passes through the transmission intercooler and gets hot. It comes out the other automatic transmission connection line outlet as hot water for a shower when I am off roading in the outback. Or, I can use the hot water to wash the old Jeep after having been offroad, or other uses.
@@indridcold8433 u should make a video of that! So cool!
Me: *doesn't have a boat*
Also me: "this is interesting"
i know i was thinking i would for sure take this and that off these crashed boats but i dont even got a boat lmao
me: rents small fishing tin boats only
also me: dreaming about sailing the entire world
>i
But, if I do, how much is a sonar system sold separately?
My sailing instructor always said "There is no pump more efficient than a scared man with a bucket"
actually made me lol
kodez79 l have to agree with you on that one 😁
Good logic but I'd rather have a 3pumps goin flat out.
But im sure the 12 passengers I bring out would be pretty efficient with buckets
You mean a man that is scare of the water or one that cant swim...
Makes sense to me !
My advice to anyone owning a boat is to keep at least 1 roll of Mariner Tape on board. It only take a very small leak on a boat to sink it, Mariner Tape can make quick work of sealing it, even under water. Great video as always guys!
18:40 the most efficient way to use the hand-pump is to pull a little bit slower and pull all the way until the handle hits its stopping point, then all the way back down and not pumping inbetween points. You will double your output. I've done this for decades. Love your videos!! ☺👍👍
Hand pump
first 10 gallons: 1:28
2nd 10 gallons: 3:00
3rd 10 gallons: 5:00
4th 10 gallons: My arms are falling off, get in the life raft.
How to stop your boat from sinking. - "Keep the water on the outside."
Exactly some how some boat don't
Keeping the bow and stern above water is a good idea also. I saw a few boats that had the bow dive below the top of the water.
@@indridcold8433 I can name one Titanic
@@Appleduck2007 Yes, but the Stern was up nice and dry and it was calm seas. There was little danger there for 2.5 hours. In fact, some people in the back were getting drunk and having a great time. The people in the bow, well, their suffering was done.
Drain plug mafia got to him.
Should install a protective skeg ahead of the sail drive to help deflect any submerged objects.
I love boating! Bought my first boat this summer for the lake me and my family have had so much fun tubing skiing and swimming this year, I don't know anything about sailing or even boating in the oceans but this video was absolutely awesome as well as you guys way of life! Keep it up and stay floating!
I really enjoyed this. I recognised a few of these from previous videos. Insane. Really brings it home seeing those wrecks. Must be horrific to experience. I guess it keeps you on full alert and at optimum performance. No room for error. I think what you both do is incredible. Thanks for always bringing us for the ride! All the best!
Great content once again. Thanks Ben for another serious sailing topic.
Yes , navigation is important...
I guess in another life I must've been a sailor or youtube wants me to start because this is now the 5th sailing channel for me.
You guys are awesome! My dad taught me to take a huge automotive car wash sponge along in the canoe so you don't have to pull over and empty all gear to dump water. My friends kept asking me to use my sponge because they got tired of pulling over on river bed and emptying gear to get water out. A lot of water got in the boats when we played a game with an empty 2-liter bottle. You fill it up, paddle past another canoe, then slip it into the center and they struggle to get to it and stop it from pouring out into floor. It was a blast.
11:16 always a GREAT idea to be in between a moving boat and a dock
Boat builders should make that “rudder” with a hinge and a pin that breaks off on impact, or something like that to save the boat from tearing a hole. The sailors would carry spare pins and clips to replace the broken one and resume sailing. My idea is probably simplistic, but they’re brilliant engineers, am sure they can figure out something along those lines. The water pump is definitely a life saver
I've wondered why they don't have kick up rudders!
A kick up rudder, upon impacting a subsea obstruction simply raises up, clearing said obstruction.
The kick up rudder could be weighted with lead on higher speed boats if the owner thought it may kick up at speed, though I've never heard of kick up rudders doing so at any speed before.
@@felixcat9318 Sure, many boats have kick up rudders. $$$ more though and have to consider when the device fails to hold the rudder down when you need it to. Many believe the rudder to be the single most important component on a sailboat, if it fails during heavy weather you're SOL. Some boats have retractable rudders like the Seawind 1600 but its a topic that divides the crowed pretty hard.
That engine cooling pump should have a change over valve to switch to bilge pump mode within seconds
Good idea, also maybe a valve to switch the cooling intake to another intake when it gets clogged.
I had the same thoughts.
That's exactly what I was thinking. So you guys can use it almost immediately without having to remove it. Was about to suggest the same idea and it looks like others have the same thought on how to do it.
This is standard on work boats engine is the most powerful pump on boat
You could switch it back and forth to keep the motor from overheating
I love the idea of using the engine water pump to pump out from the bilge. Never thought of that before, thanks!
I did deliveries in HS for a retired Marine and he taught me so much. One of the most important things is that every boat is equipped with a aux pump that is easily rigged in emergencies. Basically your raw water pump can be rigged to work as a emergency pump. It's something that should be pre rigged with the hose that you carry as a spare and with a simple strainer. this way if needed you can shut the through hull and hook up the spare hose and strainer.
@ even the smallest raw water pumps move around 5-10 gpm
I've gotta say I was surprised how fast you manually pump😉
#16.
personal best!
good episode, so thnx for that.
Very inspiring, makes one wanna get a boat, a bottle of Rum and going on an epic journey. Super cool videos, keep it up and stay safe!
Very humbling video with all the wrecks; but also very good information. I always enjoy your videos. Infortainment factor is always high. Thanks for your efforts and time.
I feel sad when i see the boat undee water like that was someones dream
Yeah you're right it's devastating ... A boat doesn't naturally want to stay on top of the water ,,, it takes a lot of work ... You basically need to be living on it so that you can do a couple hours every day ... D
They exist a balloon rescued .Tie it with a thread with the boat. You've to let somethings in your boat can save your life and the boat the same time . They have many options and your intelligence And be brave.
Seagulls sank my boat it was sitting in the slip and I guess they were getting food out of the dumpster and then sitting on the boat and eating it when they dropped enough trash in the cockpit it clogged up the overflow Scuppers so when it rained all the water went into the bilge of the boat until it's on the bottom Insurance wouldn't pay for it cuz it was negligence yeah I had a boat and then I got to thinking I needed a wife and come to find out she hated everything I liked so had to get rid of the boat then I got rid of the wife and I can still get another boat
Just send me a bill for the therapy session
I feel a little bit better
Yep, my dad's boat sank and he was super sad for a while. Him and 10 coworkers were on it and they all made it off okay. He got the boat for 5000 and we fixed it up and made it nice.
Yeah man ,,, you're so right if nobody got hurt or killed ... You did a good job ,,, got many stories of friends that didn't make it ... From Florida ,,, one time a couple of friends got out of the boat cuz there was girls on the boat to get into water to go to the bathroom on Lake George down here in Florida ,,, well a storm whipped up ... And the girl couldn't get the boat started and get back and pick the guys up ... I mean it was white out you couldn't see nothing and one guy got picked up by an old man fishing the other guy they didn't find him ,,, for a week later ... HIS nickname was Dank ,,, cuz he always had it ,,, thanks ,,, 👍 👍👍 Dave ...
That water looks so amazing!
My sailing instructor said leave lots of sea room to reefs - like miles away - especially at night.
Congrats to both of you, can't wait to see you back on the water again.
That High end Pump you used is what we call a sump pump and there Mains Power and soler powered as well and very cheap to buy in Thailand from most shops now. : Ps why not have a tarp so you can block the hole if possible from out side the Ship to slow the sea water and give the pumps a better chance of clearing the water until you get help ?????????.
German coast guard rookie: 'What are you sinking about?'
Bätta trävelling wiff Deutsche Bahn!
During a small flood (reverse siphon from a through hull) I grabbed the pump in the shower basin and put it in the bilge. Worked!
Awesome episode y’all. I have missed you guys. Congrats on the baby. We had our baby also on April 15. We just purchased a fixer upper 33’ hunter. See you guys out there some day maybe.
This video is PUMPING!
Yah man. Had fun plugging them holes!
@@SailingNahoa well, considering the past couple of episodes you sure did! ;)
You have two hulls, two high volume pumps would be nice. I understand cost and storage are limitations. Great vlog!!!!
I’d definitely have two
Great video. Another great example of how to save your boat was filmed by Sailing Nandji. The crash pump that got loaned to them as well as having some epoxy and glass for repairs was the difference between a total loss and limp to a marina to make repairs! Another example was from Beau & Brandy Sailing where they had some fishermen give them some epoxy that could set up in a wet environment. Cheers!
Also a nice trick is to use your sail and get it over the hole then lash it. Helps to stem the flow. I actually used to have a patch panel worked great on another boat. My boat was a tank 1972 Columbia 30 1 inch thick solid fiberglass hull. Great job guys.
"If you need one, take two" :)
I was taught “two is one, one is none”
If you need one take two and take a spare.
God everytime i see this type of video. I think its happening for real.
Glad to know your safe lol
guys! great vid!
I carry an old 4 stroke mini trash pump with 1" hose...it pumps like a non swimmer all day long!
also have a manual pump like yours but 2x bigger...each stroke pumps half a gallon.
bam!
capt. Lawnboy!
In discussing the use of the engine raw water pump to use in assisting with the water removal from the bilges, it is good to also include the knowledge that the water sucked out of the bilge has to pass through the engine first before it can be pumped overboard. In many bilge flooding scenarios, the flood waters pick up dirt and debris in the bilges which can get sucked into the engine damaging the pump and causing the engine to overheat and fail. Knowing this, the prudent captain will also have on hand a screen to put over the end of the hose that will drop into the bilge that will screen out the debris that could cause this damage. It should also motivate the captain to ensure that s/he keep the bilges clean.
Great great content...thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
When does a boat become a submarine ?
When you don’t have a high flow pump
Thanks a lot for taking the trouble to demonstrate the different ways. Deep down I always knew there was something you could do with the water intake of the engine, now I know! :-)
« One is enough » he said, insulting neptune.
Never say that on a boat ahah. Thanks for the vid, that was super entertaining.
I've seen two, one close, one complete disaster. Sailing into Freedom lost their beautiful Cat, and you can see it all on UA-cam, it was a couple years ago in Australia. The other boat , I'm not sure I could find it, but they sailed into an Atoll at night, sailing just barely within inches over the reef. Woke up in the AM, looked at a recording of their path, compared to sat photos,and realized the CHARTS WERE WRONG ! Seems like maybe Catalpa as I remember they had family, kids and such. After that I found out from Nandji that you can get an overlay satellite photo , over a chart, and see where the chart errors are , its an app ? Orpheus or something like that. Might be apple only as I couldn't get it to work. Best option is to heave to and brave the swells till daylight, not worth losing your boat ! And then there's Nanji which came in late, too late to dive a line they were tied to which came loose and put them on the reef, completely out of the water. They were able to save the boat, a tough boat. Cats are not so tough usually.
Satellite photo systems can have their own errors.
👍Very cool, interesting & educational. Thank you. 💝
Both of you are very knowledgeable, it shows. Safe travels
Ahhh...the old tie a line to the wrench trick! I've done that before..after diving down for the one I dropped. Really enjoy your content, thank you guys!
Became a fan instantly, planning to retire at 33 (2years from now) from Puerto Rico and looking for a boat I can take my family anywhere in the Caribbean. (Please if you have any suggestions in which bout j would appreciate)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Love that vids guys. You young , funny and naughty 🎶🎶🎶🎶
I lived a dramatic experience in a sailboat 30 years ago. No motor, no bilge pump. In the middle of an storming night, a cutted rope pull off the shaft under the water and appeared a water source, wich starts to fulling the boat. Me and my friends did spend 12 hours pumping of eater with a handpump. The handpump saved our lives, I am sure, but I think that it were should been better if in the boat we carried on a little and portable gasoline generator and a portable hight flow pump. thanks for your demo Ben.
What a thrill to consider the ever-present dangers, and also scary as hell to think I might not have handled the seacock replacement with aplomb like you two! Great stories, as always :)
Oh my God!!!!!
I would seriously have to taken to emergency, just because of the nervous breakdown I would get!!!!
Run hard aground under the Dames Point Bridge ... Broke steering cables lost rudder outgoing tide at Mayport ,,, St Johns River ... Through every anchor I had off ,,, just to get it to stop went below to gather myself ... I was shaking uncontrollably ,,, heard the loudest Foghorn I'd ever heard ... Looked out one of my little ports and you couldn't see nothing but container barge ,,, had to take a knife and cut all the anchor ropes to keep from getting hit by a container barge ... Yeah it's exciting ... D
Yeah ,,, You right ... D
The problem started when you imagined sailing at night, then you did it.
Djur
No the problem starts when you don’t cross reference your chart plotters notice I said plotters with paper charts and your compass and sextant .
That was a really well done video. Thank you for addressing this topic. Happy Trails 🤠
Hey there. We also live on a boat. It's awesome watching yall. This is crazy. We are on a trawler, but love your catamaran. This is great! Yall have a great week
Seeing people's dreams like this, it breaks my heart.
The front “section” is called the Forepeak Tank and the actual wall there is called the Collision Bulkhead
Not on a sailing yacht 😐 and the one shown certainly isn’t a tank. It’s just a watertight compartment. Forepeak tanks are on larger vessels where the tank is part of the ships structures (as in the shell plating) whereas yachts generally have tanks made of metal fitted into the hull shell.
Great info, could very easily be a life or death situation sailing around the world.
i feel so at home with you....i spent a lot of time on the water....you are going great...never stop
That high flow pump would work wonders on my pond waterfall. Lol
"But this ship can't sink. "
"This ship is made of iron, sir. I assure you she can and will."
It is a mathematical certainty
@Martin Jansen Have you watched the movie? It is a direct quote. Educate yourself.
having been trhough a flooding event , I was impressed with this video. The key is been prepared , ie know your where your sea cocks are. Have lots of options for pumping out . Check your bildge always when on passage . I went aground once , when the tide came back in and the boat on its side , the water stared flooding up through the loo , sinks etc. It was fast and had we not stayed on the boat we would have come back to a sunk / ship wrecked boat. Scary !
Really interesting video, thanks.
I'm surprised the boats haven't been stripped of their stuff.

I love this channel because you explain things and I listen.. like we been friends forever lol
Love your videos ! Have fun with your new 'land duties' ... it'll be the best ride of your life ! Safe travels =) All the way from Quebec city.
10:58 = Scary! - That's not a "seacock" it's a "ball valve" hooked up to a through-hull "mushroom" fitting and threaded pipe, and it's definitely a boat sinking hazard. I noticed the other "seacocks" in the hold are exactly the same - those are skimpy production coastal boat scantlings right there. Fine for calm coastal waters and downwind sailing under good conditions, a menace to life and limb offshore over thousands of miles and years of constant abuse.Through-hull failures are a primary cause of sinking not involving grounding or collision, so the fitting itself must be bulletproof. All seacocks have leverage working against the hull. They tend to fail when the boat is under a lot of stress, things are flying around, and the hull is flexing and working a lot - like in a gale or storm. Certainly not the best time to have your 2" ball-valve kludge crack the hull open and let lose like a fire-hose....
Think about it: how much leverage does that hose or pipe have on the fitting? Where is the most likely point of failure? At the hull where the thin lip of the fittings clamp down on opposite sides? At the point where the threaded pipe meets the bronze nut inside the hull? A proper seacock has a thick flange integrated with the valve housing with a threaded female coupling hole that accepts the appropriate threaded male pipe and mushroom fitting. The flange is then through-bolted to a backing plate with the bolts countersunk. The plate is preferably made of fiberglass, marine plywood, G-10 or a similar rot-proof composite material and then the plate is bonded permanently to the hull with thickened epoxy, 3M 5200 or fiberglass tape and resin before the mushroom fitting and threaded pipe are screwed into the sea cock from outside. You'll need to align everything when you install it, and it's really hard to do a proper job without hauling the boat. With a proper seacock, the weakest point in the assembly occurs above the ball-valve, allowing the sea-cock to do it's job by closing the hole so you can make repairs if a hose comes lose or ruptures.
Anyway, I wish you both the best - It's great to see young people carrying on the cruising tradition, and no boat is perfect ;-)
I has an eye on a García Exploration yacht.
According to the shipyard those yachts don't have - apart from the propeller shaft - no other through holes below the waterline.
A seachest with all the hoses leading to the box then out a single large through hull is the best, have yet to see one

I'd have thought a *HUGE* safety feature for a catamaran would be to have two long tough inflatable tubes mounted on the inner side of each hull, which would be connected to HP air cylinders for quick inflation in emergency!
Edit (after 4 responses):
If the emergency tubes I spoke about were something like you'd find on an inflatable RIB, they could be secured on the underside of the catamaran with a sheet of (whatever material) which when the tubes were inflated, that would be forced downwards, protecting the inflatable tubes from sharp or rugged objects.
Don't forget, this would just be for emergency purposes and if whatever design was put forward, it could even 'look invisible' (be part of the boat) before ever deployed.
Cost Vs risk.
this one probably weights about 13 tons what kind of inflatable material can sustain it
Every little bit helps....
Whatever can tear up a hull would tear up your bouyancy bag, too. You'd have to get the boat off the rocks/reef first.
I think what you need is two more boats to drag it off the reef and lash it to.
It would be nice to have the facility to drop some ballast, eg the dagger boards would be a good place to have some weight, and are something you could stand to lose.
"one pump is enough" ? One is none and two is one. This is boat law.
That is the prepper's creed as well. If I sailed the seas like this, I would have about 4 high volume pumps and a spare generator just to run the pumps!
I like this law
If one is not enough you should really consider find the source of leaking and repair it. It is not so complicated - they just focused on pumping :)
thank you ben for visiting my country 🇵🇭 Philippines...
Very Informative, thanks God Bless and be safe. thanks
I’ve never understood why these boats don’t have and emergency floatation system. Air bags are light weight and could be mounted to lower rail and inflation could be done with many different applications. Easy solutions to complicated problems.
Lucas Danic the bags would not be deployed unless the vessel was going down. They would not be hanging loose on the sides. They could also be implemented into the hull of the craft. Don’t think so linear where there is a will there is a way.
SOUR S4G I would assume weight and balance focused on R&D... companies cut costs anywhere and once they’re sold they aren’t their problem anymore. It’s the insurance company..

You guys are awesome! Only glad to be doing work on your boat here in phuket!!!!!!
So sad to see some people's dreams abandoned on a reef.
I agree, very sad
Tanda Malaika's owner was my sister from another mother. I will never forget her middle of the night call, we are sinking, helicopter on it's way. Instant nausea....
With insurance you buy another
I can't even imagine how heart breaking losing your boat like that would be 😞
Good idea to test this to be prepared. Good Job !
You 2 (soon to be 3) are my favorite boat couple. Love ya.
The Tanda Malaika video was one of the saddest things I've ever watched.
omg this is my fear to go out there!
Learned something today..thanks guys!
HAHAHAHA when you were changing the screw in one of the boat holes the captions were HILARIOUS
It’s nice watching a sailing couple who can both speak intelligently.
You could just drill some holes to let the water pour out.
Ducking genius !
Ratus Bagus Right! Big drain holes.
🤣🤣🤣
"Buchon" thought only i used that word. Hahaha love you guys so much, your living a life I would love. Thanks for the video from Edmonton.
Thank you both so much. Why didn't anyone tell me or I think of it myself to use the raw water pump. You are my inspirations, both of you. with 5 pumps I can pump out roughly 300 gallons a minute. I'm feeelin' good
Perhaps investing in a device such as B&G ForwardScan that has a good reputation as a Forward scanning sonar..!?
As well as an infrared camera
possibly cheaper - - "Fish finders" are sonar that you mount on your boat to shoot a cone down, some to as far as 600 feet most have bottem alarms that you can set the depth on them. mounted on the front of a keel just about 1 foot under water they shoot the sonar cone in front of you boat up to 600 feet (200 ft wide) with an alarm that can be set to scream a reefs 400 ft away. 3D units will show anchor chains dock pilings any thing else you need to see on a dark cloudy night.
@@robertmiller5735 That's why every yacht has a fish-finder! Simples - not - water turbulence, try it at 5 knts.
You think these experienced sailors have never heard of that?
I so want to grab a pallet of flex.seal stuff a huge air tank a bunch of bags and go get me a free boat . With some high flow pumps
Great demonstration 👍👍
Good one, I enjoyed it. Thanks !!! 😎👍
I wouldnt describe ending up on a reef a "minor navigational error"... Its a major navigational error!
It could be called a discovery? LOL, like days of old.
No, you are wrong. It was a minor NAVIGATIONAL error. However this caused a MAJOR disaster.
7:40 dude! CO2 danger. never go inside a space like that on a boat, unless it had hours to vent first. people died like this. look it up.
Four people died on a tugboat in Florida a couple years ago due to that one guy went in the chain locker and died of CO2 poisoning three other people died trying to rescue him.
@Derek Post then be aware of that, breath in and hold your breath like you're underwater when you are there. btw, derek, pls listen to experienced sailors. everybody knows that it's dangerous, this is why they don't talk about it, because it's so usual and common knowledge between sailors that we don't even think that someone may not know about the dangers of Co2 on a vessel.
@Derek Post my point is... it's a rookie mistake.
it'sMe TheHerpes Not Carbon Dioxide but Carbon Monoxide. The chain locked was actually little to no Oxygen. The chain and metal rust which consumes all the Oxygen in the closed space. They died from lack of enough Oxygen to breath.
Preparation and planning ahead of time would have small ventilation fans that can be attached to entryways to blow fresh air into closed areas. In order for that to work though, some manner of brackets have to be configured and installed before leaving port. When you need the air flow, it is already too late to arange such things.
I really enjoyed this. You guys are great🙂
Thanks for posting this I always watch new uploads. Can we have one on how Ashley and the baby is doing? did you get all repairs and improvements done? looking forward to seeing yall sail the rest of the way.
